Chapter 5080 — President Lin
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
The four had clearly let their imaginations run away with them. Wei Zhao had no intention of falling out with the Primordial Alliance outright just yet—his primordial spirit body could not remain in the mortal world indefinitely, and at present he had only the strength of Foundation Establishment perfection, not enough to crush the entire Alliance singlehandedly. So unless driven to the last resort, he would not lightly begin a slaughter.
Surprising as Wei Zhao's decision was, watching Yu Zhengliang and the other three slink off in such wretched straits gave the Snow Valley crowd a measure of satisfaction. Apart from regret that they could not take their revenge with their own hands, no one had any complaint.
"Thank you for resolving this siege, President Lin. On behalf of every disciple of Snow Valley, I cannot express our gratitude enough. Snow Valley will forever keep President Lin's great kindness in mind," the new valley master said gravely.
"You're too kind. Snow Valley and I have deep ties; this was only my duty, no thanks needed." Wei Zhao waved a hand with a smile, then suddenly recalled Xue Li's instructions and asked, "By the way, how has Snow Valley fared these past few years?"
"All has been well these past few years—only today brought this turmoil." The new valley master gave a bitter smile, then looked Wei Zhao up and down, somewhat astonished. "President Lin, you've returned—does that mean the others have come back as well?"
"No, not exactly. My situation is rather unusual; this time it's only me." Wei Zhao shook his head. Seeing the other hesitate to speak, he laughed. "You're asking about Xue Li, aren't you? She's doing well. When I came back this time, she even asked me to pass along a message—she wants you all to set your minds at ease."
"Oh, oh—that's good, that's good." At that, the Snow Valley crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief, and smiles of comfort appeared on their faces. Xue Li, their former valley master, still held a warm place in their hearts here.
"President Lin, let's go inside and sit down. I'll have someone prepare a proper banquet. You and Snow Valley have deep ties, I know, but this time you've lifted such a great burden from us—at the very least, let us show a little of our gratitude," the new valley master proposed.
"That's right—Little Yi, you so rarely come back, so stay here a few more days," Tang's mother chimed in. Over the past few years she had scavenged no small trove of treasures from Snow Valley, and was already scheming to quietly slip them to Wei Zhao in private.
"Auntie, I really can't stay this time. I have to get back to Donghai City as soon as possible—the matter of the Primordial Alliance can't be delayed," Wei Zhao had no choice but to say.
"I see..." Tang's mother fell silent at once. For anything else she would have grabbed Wei Zhao and refused to let go without a second thought, but the Primordial Alliance was no small matter—especially after the harrowing experience of today, even she understood that mishandling this could lead to disaster. Anything else could wait; this alone absolutely could not.
The Snow Valley crowd shared the same thought, and spoke up at once: "In that case, next time you have a free moment, all of Snow Valley will await President Lin's honored visit."
"Very well. Take care, everyone—I'll be on my way." Wei Zhao bade farewell to Tang's mother and the Snow Valley crowd, then set off with Fei Yangnian on the journey back to Donghai City. (To be continued.)
