Chapter 1051: Don’t Get So Excited
Since only Zhang Yuhong had come to Dan Ling Town alone this time, his family was afraid that something might happen to him. So they had sent more people than usual to accompany him while the others stayed back to protect the city.
When one of the lackeys blew on the whistle, Ling Yichen frowned but didn’t make any attempt to stop him. He knew that Ling Chuxi wanted the Su family to have more combat experience. Baili Han and Jiang Wuhen only acted as facilitators to the process, only helping when the Su family’s disciples were in danger.
“There’s no need. It’s good to have more people,” said Ling Chuxi. The Zhang family’s lackeys were still a little weak, and thus did not pose a real threat to the Su family members. It was good to have more people to spar with them.
Ling Yichen and the others understood what Ling Chuxi meant, so they didn’t bother to get too involved.
Soon, a sharp whistle was heard from afar followed by noisy footsteps rus.h.i.+ng towards the restaurant.
At the same time, an extremely luxurious carriage was also heading towards Dan Ling Town. The golden and silver-rimmed words on the carriage were particularly eye-catching.
In the carriage sat two white-bearded elders. One of them was thin, and although he was over sixty years old, he still looked refined. He must have been extraordinarily handsome when he was young. The other person was much taller but had a weathered face that also looked a little dejected currently, as if he had suffered a big blow.
“Brother Yue, you’re also a disciple of Flowing Clouds Sect. How did you end up like this? According to what I know, it’s been more than four hundred years since your ancestor joined Flowing Clouds Sect. Why doesn’t the sect leader care about old friends.h.i.+ps?” The thin elder sighed.
This person was the clan head of the Zhang family in Kaiyuan City, Zhang s.h.i.+zhao. The tall elder was an old acquaintance of Ling Chuxi: Yue Qingjie.
When they had failed to frame Ling Chuxi, Yue Qingjie’s family was expelled from the sect. Not only did they lose their place in society, they didn’t even have a place to stay. Thus, they had no choice but to join the Zhang family in Qianzhong Ridge. In the entire Sacred Realm of the Sects, this was the only place that could accommodate them.
“It’s all because of my disappointing son. He doesn’t have a good eye, unable to tell who can and cannot be provoked. In the end, he caused me big trouble. However, the reason I ended up in this situation is all because of myself. I became obsessed that I actually wanted to take revenge for him. This time, the sect leader let us live, which is already considered to be exceptionally kind of him,” said Yue Qingjie with a sigh. After suffering such a big blow, his state of mind had gradually improved.
“Oh, who exactly did you offend?” asked Zhang s.h.i.+zhao.
“Well, it actually has something to do with the Zhang family,” said Yue Qingjie.
“Something to do with us?” Zhang s.h.i.+zhao was shocked.
“That’s right. The people we offended were precisely people from Golden Pill Sect.” Yue Qingjie spoke softly this time.
Yue Qingjie knew that the matter of the Zhang family being a descendent of Golden Pill Sect was extremely secretive, so very few people knew about it. After all, since the Zhang family was able to establish a foothold in Qianzhong Ridge, they had to do some evil things. However, Zhang s.h.i.+zhao’s had always felt differently about their ties to Golden Pill Sect. He did not dare to the sect’s reputation.
“Golden Pill Sect, are you talking about the Golden Pill Sect?” Zhang s.h.i.+zhao grabbed Yue Qingjie’s arm, so excited that his fingers were trembling slightly. Could it truly be the Golden Pill Sect? But they had been destroyed for so long. For such news to appear now, how could they not be excited?
“Don’t be so excited yet.” If Yue Qingjie’s strength was a tad bit weaker than it was, his arms would have been broken by Zhang s.h.i.+zhao’s grip.
