Chapter 1568 — Victory! After Bringing Zero One Under Control Wei Zhao Paid Him No More Mind and Hurried Toward Qiu Lingshan and Wu Chengtian, With No Time to Heal Them Fully He Could Still Channel True Energy to Cure Their Internal Injuries, and as Cultivators Mere External Wounds Could Do Them Little Harm
Holding Qiu Lingshan in his arms, Wei Zhao laid her down beside Wu Chengtian, then sat cross-legged on the ground, one hand on each of them, sank his mind into the jade pendant space and set the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art in motion to heal their wounds!
Both Qiu Lingshan and Wu Chengtian knew how miraculous Wei Zhao was, so they understood at once what he meant to do. Neither of them spoke a word, and both gave themselves over to his treatment in complete cooperation.
At that very moment, the wail of police sirens sounded in the distance, as Yang Huaijun and Liu Wangli led their men rushing to the scene in person!
All that had happened before and after had taken no more than ten minutes, and Wei Zhao had ended the fight in an instant, so Yang Huaijun's arrival already counted as remarkably fast!
Yang Huaijun and Liu Wangli jumped out of the car, and the first thing they saw was not Zero One lying motionless on the ground with his limbs broken by Wei Zhao, but Wei Zhao himself behind Qiu Lingshan and Wu Chengtian!
Seeing Wei Zhao gripping the injured wrists of Qiu Lingshan and Wu Chengtian, Yang Huaijun got a terrible fright, thinking the false Wei Zhao had seized the two as hostages. Seeing their pain-twisted faces and the blood at the corners of their mouths, his face changed with shock and he cried out, "You... what are you trying to do? Do not act rashly, you must keep the hostages safe..."
Gu Mengyao and the others beside Yang Huaijun did not know whether to laugh or cry, yet it was hardly surprising. The false Wei Zhao looked exactly like the real one, so Yang Huaijun's mistake was only natural. Had not Qiu Lingshan herself made the same mistake when she first saw the real Wei Zhao return?
"Brother Yang, that one over there is Wei Zhao! He is healing Officer Song and Wu Chengtian, and that one over there is the criminal suspect who framed Wei Zhao, already subdued by him!" Gu Mengyao pointed at Zero One lying in the distance with all four limbs broken as she spoke.
"What? Wei Zhao is back!" Hearing Gu Mengyao's words, Yang Huaijun was both shocked and delighted, and for a moment he even forgot the embarrassment of his mistake. He quickly looked over, and sure enough he saw a man who looked exactly like Wei Zhao now lying in a pool of blood!
"Liu Wangli, take your men and get him under control!" Joy beyond words surged in Yang Huaijun's heart. He had never believed Wei Zhao could be a criminal suspect, and only the unfavorable evidence before had left him helpless. Now that he saw the real Wei Zhao returned and the false one subdued, he was naturally overjoyed!
Liu Wangli felt the same. Although his faith in Wei Zhao had not been as unwavering as that of Qiu Lingshan and Yang Huaijun, he had never wanted Wei Zhao to become a criminal suspect either, and now it seemed all that had come before was a misunderstanding!
By now Liu Wangli had no fear that Zero One might resist. In his present condition, resistance was simply impossible!
Wei Zhao swiftly poured true energy into Qiu Lingshan and Wu Chengtian, and once he had healed their injured organs he rose to his feet and said to them in haste, "I will take Yaoyao and the others to the college entrance exam first. We will talk about everything after I finish the exam!"
Wei Zhao spoke loudly enough that Yang Huaijun and Liu Wangli naturally heard every word. Wei Zhao waved to them, and Yang Huaijun nodded without saying anything more. By the rules Wei Zhao should have gone to the station to give a statement, but the matter was urgent and he had to sit the exam, so that procedure would have to wait until after his exams were over.
"Yaoyao, Yushu, Yunyun, get in my car!" Wei Zhao waved to the three girls over there.
"Great! Shield Brother is finally back!" Shen Yushu ran the fastest, yanked open the passenger door of Wei Zhao's car and plopped herself right into the seat.
Tang Yun and Gu Mengyao exchanged a helpless glance, and Gu Mengyao said to Tang Yun, "Yunyun, do not mind her. Yushu is just like that..."
To tell the truth, Gu Mengyao was still afraid Tang Yun might take it to heart. After all, Wei Zhao was Tang Yun's boyfriend, and now that he was back, Tang Yun should by rights have taken the passenger seat, yet Yushu had snatched it away.
"It is nothing." Tang Yun shook her head indifferently and smiled, "After all this time, how could I not know Yushu?"
With that, she took Gu Mengyao's hand and sat with her in the second row. As for the last row of seats, Wei Zhao had already removed them, turning that space together with the trunk into an ice coffin. Once inside, seeing no sign of Feng Xiaoxiao, they could not help feeling puzzled!
"Wei Zhao, where is Xiaoxiao? Is she still inside the ice coffin?" Gu Mengyao asked instinctively.
"Huh? Where is my best partner?" Shen Yushu also realized that Feng Xiaoxiao was not in the car!
"Could it be... you did not find the Fire Spirit Holy Fruit?" Tang Yun's face dimmed as she glanced at the ice coffin and asked.
"That is a long story... let us talk as we go!" Wei Zhao had guessed they would ask about this, but first he had to confirm where their exam halls were, "Where are you all taking the exam?"
"All at City No.2 High School, and you too. All four of us are testing at the same school, only in different rooms." Gu Mengyao said, "Your admission ticket is with us. Good thing we carried it on us."
"Good." Wei Zhao nodded, started the car and drove toward City No.2 High School, telling the three of them as he drove about all he had encountered after reaching Ice Snow Spirit Town! From meeting Zhang Naipao, to taking part in the Ice Palace trial, to winning first place in it, and then bargaining with the Ice Palace until Feng Xiaoxiao at last became an inner disciple of the Ice Palace!
"What! No way? Xiaoxiao is actually an inheritor? The yin-cold energy inside her is actually a once-in-a-thousand-years yin-cold constitution, so in two years will she not become a Heaven-rank master?" Shen Yushu said with no small envy, "No way! Then what will become of me as her best partner!"
Gu Mengyao and Tang Yun were astonished as well. They had never imagined Feng Xiaoxiao would meet with such fortune, not only waking up but becoming an inner disciple of the Ice Palace, and after receiving the inheritance even standing a chance to become a Heaven-rank master and Mistress of the Ice Palace!
"Xiaoxiao is finally saved this time, and once she becomes a Heaven-rank master, she will be a great help to you in the future..." At these words Tang Yun could not help sighing softly in her heart. Now even Xiaoxiao had become a cultivator, with hopes of becoming a Heaven-rank master. It seemed she alone was the most useless of them all...
Tang Yun truly wished she could do something for Wei Zhao, yet she knew nothing at all, and that was what troubled her most!
