Chapter 942 — Fleeing Together — Because General Mighty Has Leveled Up!

General Mighty, a tall dog of the early Yellow rank, had actually risen several ranks in a row! It had become a tall dog of peak late-Yellow-rank strength!

Wei Zhao's eyes went wide with shock. No way? Simply because it had lost all its strength, when he poured his strength back into General Mighty's body once more, it had actually turned into a tall dog of peak late-Yellow-rank strength!

It was even stronger than Qiu Lingshan? Was he seeing things? He had casually conjured up a tall dog of peak Yellow-rank strength out of thin air. All you Yellow-rank experts out there, how were you supposed to live that down?

At this moment, though, Wei Zhao had no time to puzzle over the reason. As soon as he learned that nothing was wrong with General Mighty, he entered the cultivation space once more. He could hardly wait to restore his strength!

Besides, if General Mighty could rise in rank after passing through the ordeal of no destruction, no construction, then what about him?

It seemed every one of his own breakthroughs had come under just such circumstances. Every time he was injured, or had all his energy sucked dry, once the energy came flooding back into his body, he could break through the bottleneck of the next level!

Wei Zhao had never heard of such a method of advancement as this no destruction, no construction, yet it worked for both him and General Mighty!

Wei Zhao entered the jade pendant space and once again set the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Formula in motion. Energy surged into his body once more, but this time it was all for his own use! He could even feel the sense of fullness that came as the energy filled every meridian, and it was sheer bliss!

When Gu Pengzhan returned to the villa, he found Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu both sitting blankly on the living room sofa. They were not watching television, nor were they doing anything else; both of them simply sat there in a daze…

"Yaoyao, Xiaoshu!" Gu Pengzhan walked in. "Xiaoyi has already left?"

Gu Pengzhan assumed that Wei Zhao had already left the villa, and that his daughter and Xiaoshu were feeling a little forlorn, and so were sitting in a daze on the sofa.

"Daddy, you're back…" Gu Mengyao came back to herself and looked up at Gu Pengzhan.

"Mm, Daddy's back…" Looking at his somewhat haggard daughter, Gu Pengzhan felt a pang in his heart. He had never been able to give her a happy life. In material things, it could be said that Gu Mengyao lacked for nothing, but where family affection was concerned, he owed her far, far too much…

The child had lost her mother when she was small, and Gu Pengzhan had been busy with his career, with no leisure at all to look after her. In the blink of an eye, she had already grown so big! He had never truly come to understand what his daughter's life was like.

So this time, Gu Pengzhan had made his decision: whatever it took, he would help his daughter find the happiness that belonged to her. He would go with her, and with Wei Zhao, back to his hometown to flee from trouble!

"Daddy, Wei Zhao hasn't left. He's in his room…" Gu Mengyao said, and then did not know how to explain, for she did not know why Wei Zhao had not left, or why he had suddenly gone back into his room.

"Oh? Xiaoyi hasn't left? Wasn't his train a little after six tonight? It's past seven now. If he doesn't go, he'll miss it…" Gu Pengzhan was slightly taken aback. He glanced at his watch and spoke with some puzzlement.

"I don't know either. The way it happened was this…" Gu Mengyao told her father about the strange business that had occurred just as Wei Zhao was about to leave.

"Yeah, it's really strange. Brother Arrow has been in the room holding General Mighty for more than four hours and still hasn't come out. Who knows what they're doing in there?" Shen Yushu added, equally puzzled.

"Oh? What is Xiaoyi doing? Could his injuries have flared up?" Gu Pengzhan frowned. Otherwise, given Wei Zhao's temperament, ordinary matters would surely never be enough to affect his travel plans!

"Yes, I'm worried too!" Gu Mengyao nodded, anxiety showing on her face. "General Mighty is very formidable, but Wei Zhao is an ordinary person now. I'm afraid General Mighty will still kick him with all its strength the way it used to, and that might leave Wei Zhao badly injured!"

"Is that so!" Hearing Gu Mengyao's analysis, Gu Pengzhan's expression turned grave as well. If that were the case, then things really did not look good! Otherwise, why would Wei Zhao suddenly change his mind just before leaving and rush frantically into his room?

"Ah! Then will Brother Arrow be in danger?" Hearing Gu Mengyao's words, Shen Yushu grew anxious too.

"By rights, there shouldn't be any danger, otherwise Wei Zhao would surely have told us what to do." Gu Mengyao shook her head. "He only told us not to disturb him. Perhaps he can heal his own injuries in there?"

"Then it seems all we can do is wait for him here!" Gu Pengzhan sighed as well. "As it happens, once Xiaoyi wakes up, it won't be too late for us all to leave together!"

"Leave together?" Gu Mengyao was slightly startled, and looked at her father without quite understanding.

"Yes. Daddy has already decided to take you and go back to Xiaoyi's hometown with him to flee from trouble!" Gu Pengzhan said with a smile.

"Go back to his hometown together to flee from trouble?" Gu Mengyao was stunned, and repeated it somewhat oddly. "We're going too? What about your company? You're giving it up? And I won't go to school anymore?"

"Yaoyao, Daddy has already made his decision, so there's no point in hiding it from you now!" At this, Gu Pengzhan gave a bitter smile. "These past few days have been hard on me as well! Xiaoyi was injured, and once Daddy's enemies learned of it, they all came knocking at the door…"

"Ah!" Gu Mengyao was startled. "They found out the news that quickly? What did they want when they came to see you?"

"The first wave to come were the Xiao family of Yanjing… Using the matter of the Xiao family's daughter-in-law, Gou Huli, being insulted by you, they wanted me to pay them two hundred million in compensation, plus the Pengzhan Commercial Building and the Pengzhan Business Hotel…" Gu Pengzhan smiled bitterly. They were leaving anyway, and he was giving up the company, so there was no harm in telling Yaoyao.

"Gou Huli… I see… Was it because of me?" Hearing her father's words, Gu Mengyao's face filled at once with boundless self-reproach. "Daddy, it's all my fault…"

"Heh, it has nothing to do with you! The Xiao family has fallen on hard times among the great clans, but a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. They want to expand into Songshan City, and it just so happens they were looking for trouble; your affair was merely an excuse. How could Daddy blame you? Besides, Xiaoyi has said that the fault was not ours!" Gu Pengzhan smiled and reassured her carelessly.

"Oh, I remember now. She's the woman who wanted to rip someone's head off but didn't keep her word!" Shen Yushu said. "That family really is awful!"
