Chapter 64 Master Ying (2/2)
Zhou Yuan frowned as he observed from the side with the cool eyes of a bystander. It seems that Qi Manor was becoming more and more aggressive, even investing a lot of thought into this issue and inviting a Genesis Rune expert over. If they managed to cure Wei Bin, the Wei family would owe them a huge debt of grat.i.tude. When that happened, even someone like Wei Canglan would likely be shaken no matter how firm on neutrality he currently seemed.
Moreover, Zhou Yuan's most important mission this time was to ensure Wei Canglan did not side with Qi Manor.
Zhou Yuan's eyes flickered with thought, before he lifted his head and smiled at Wei Qingqing. ”It just so happens that we also intend to pay great general Wei a visit tomorrow.”
Wei Qingqing responded with a nod, before once againing turned towards Qi Hao and began bombarding him with questions regarding the background of the Genesis Rune expert. It was clear that this was very important to her.
Qi Hao wore a slight smile of his face, a pleased look flitting across his eyes as he shot a glance at Zhou Yuan.
…
As the sky grew darker, the welcome party came to an end.
A complentatize look decorated Zhou Yuan's face as he and his group returned to their allocated lodgings. Beside him, Lu Tieshan's expression was rather grim. After a quick scan of their surroundings, he said in a low voice, ”Your highness, if Qi Hao really manages to cure Wei Bin, our situation here will become rather problematic.”
Receiving such a huge favor would likely make Wei Canglan lean towards Qi Manor. After all, Wei Bin was the only son of the Wei family and only he could carry on their bloodline.
Zhou Yuan gravely nodded.
Soon after, he looked towards Yaoyao and asked, ”Big sis Yaoyao, will you accompany me tomorrow?”
Yaoyao slightly rotated her head, casting a glance at Zhou Yuan. Even under the night sky, her gorgeous face gave off a faint jade glow. ”When the time comes, I will help you take a look.”
After speaking, entered her tent with Tuntun in her arms.
Zhou Yuan could only worriedly scratch his head in response to her curt answer.
…
The next day.
Zhou Yuan, Lu Tieshan, Yaoyao and Su Youwei saw the waiting Wei Qingqing, Qi Hao and the rest when they arrived at the east gate of the barracks.
However, there was now one more person at Qi Hao's side, a grizzled hair old man. This elder had a pair of sunken eyes which appeared rather cold and stern. His expression was indifferent, making him appear rather arrogant.
Before this elder, even Wei Qingqing was wearing a slight smile on her face.
”Your highness, are all of you ready?” Upon seeing that Zhou Yuan and his group of four had arrived, Wei Qingqing smiled before pointing at the elder beside her and said, ”This is master Ying, the Genesis Rune master Qi Hao invited to help expel the poison in my little brother.”
After hearing Wei Qingqing's introduction, master Ying swept an indifferent glance at Zhou Yuan and gave a slight nod, his expression still filled with arrogance.
The strength of a master that could draw grade 3 Genesis Runes was comparable to a Heaven Gate stage pract.i.tioner. However, such masters were very rare in the Great Zhou Empire.
”A mere grade 3 Genesis Rune and he dares to call himself a master. The one beside me hasn't even said anything.” Zhou Yuan mumbled in his heart as he nodded at master Ying.
”Let's go.”
Wei Qingqing did not waste any more time, evidently rather anxious. With a wave of her hand, her steed shot forward, galloping straight towards Canglan County city.
Qi Hao pulled the reins of his horse, coming to Zhou Yuan's side with a playful smile as he said in a low voice, ”Your highness, I'm afraid that Canglan County will no longer welcome you after today. I suggest that you scram back to Great Zhou City as soon as possible.”
With a loud laugh, he kicked his horse and the fiery-red steed also shot forward.
Zhou Yuan's eyes turned frosty as he watched Qi Hao's leaving figure. Without further ado, Zhou Yuan also waved his hand, bringing the group along as they swiftly caught up.
He was still somewhat doubtful. Why did a master proficient in grade 3 Genesis Runes have such confidence in dealing with the Black Venom King's poison? A poison that even an Alpha-Origin stage pract.i.tioner would be greatly wary of.
He really wanted to see just what kind of tricks Qi Hao was going to pull today!
