"Hmph, you see? I knew he was a fraud!" Ying Ziyu crossed her arms and sneered. Qiu Lingshan and the others had also caught on by now, and they glared furiously at Xue Jianming. Their concern had clouded their judgment; seeing the look on Xue Jianming's face, they instantly knew this fellow was up to no good.
"I, Xue Jianming, am the foremost of the younger generation of the Tai Gu Alliance. To think that coming to this secular world, I would be called a fraud. Heh heh. It seems good men really do have a hard time of it. I've taken such pains to reason with you, and it's all been useless. Then there's no help for it—I'll just have to learn from how the other sects do things." Xue Jianming's expression changed.
"What are you going to do?" Qiu Lingshan and the others all went on their guard.
"What am I going to do? Isn't it obvious? Today I'm taking you away by force, and I'd like to see who dares say a word against it!" Xue Jianming, stung into rage, abruptly turned hard in his attitude and reached out without the slightest scruple to seize Qiu Lingshan.
Qiu Lingshan was alarmed at the sight and hastily drew back to dodge, while Wu Chengtian and the others all rushed forward. But their speed could not compare with Xue Jianming, an expert at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage. With only the slightest exertion, Xue Jianming had already closed in beside Qiu Lingshan and seized one of her arms.
"I'm taking you back to the Tai Gu Alliance right now—let's see who can stop me!" Xue Jianming laughed heartily, elated with himself.
But before his laughter died away, the person he had grabbed wore the expression of one looking at a madman and said with disgust, "Hey, hey—men and men should keep their hands to themselves. Please have some respect!"
"What?" Xue Jianming was startled into horror. The voice was male! So what he had grabbed was not Qiu Lingshan at all, but a man's arm—and this man had not been in the villa before at all. He paled with fright. "Who are you?"
"You want to snatch my girlfriend, yet you don't know who I am. Is that appropriate?" Wei Zhao smiled faintly.
"Wei Zhao!" Qiu Lingshan and the others were utterly dumbstruck once they saw clearly. They rubbed their eyes hard, even pinched themselves desperately, and only after making sure they were not dreaming did they rush forward cheering and leaping. They had never dreamed that Wei Zhao would suddenly return at such a moment!
"Everyone, I'm back. Leave the rest to me," Wei Zhao said, turning to smile at the crowd. Though his heart held a thousand words, he would first send this fly before him packing.
"He's an expert of the Heavenly Dao stage from the Tai Gu Alliance—Chief, you must be careful!" By now the crowd was beside themselves with excitement and wild joy, but they at least still remembered the enormous threat that was Xue Jianming—otherwise they would have long since thrown caution to the wind and rushed up to surround Wei Zhao.
"Don't worry, it's fine," Wei Zhao said with a careless grin.
The fact that he had been able to return in time this time was actually thanks to Fei Yangnian. Originally he would not have come back so soon; on the way he had planned to make further good use of that piece of char's spiritual sense energy to recover even greater strength. But last time, through the spiritual sense mark, he had discovered that Fei Yangnian had come to the villa, and he immediately knew something was wrong. Only then did he abandon that plan and rush back at the first opportunity, and today he had finally arrived in time.
"You're their leader?" Xue Jianming sneered with contempt. Although he had indeed been startled by Wei Zhao's sudden appearance, now that he was certain the man was from the secular world, there was nothing at all to fear. (To be continued.)
