Chapter 1057: Our Own Misunderstanding
“Unfilial son, how dare you spout nonsense.” Zhang Shizhao slapped his son in the face. Zhang Yuhong had only pretended to be unconscious just now, but now he was really unconscious. He felt the world spin around him, and with a bang, he fell straight to the ground.
Zhang Shizhao’s heavy slap made his heart bleed, but he had no choice but to do so.
The elite guards Zhang Yuhong brought with him were supposed to be very strong. Even if he had personally attacked them, he wouldn’t have been able to defeat them unscathed.
But now, these so-called elites were lying on the ground, vomiting blood and screaming in pain. On the other hand, Ling Chuxi and the others remained calm and collected. In fact, they looked more as if they were still unsatisfied and wanted more. Especially that guy with a blade in his arms. He had a fierce and cold aura. Even Zhang Shizhao couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart.
Previously, Zhang Shizhao was only afraid of Ling Wushang. Who would have thought that the other people of Golden Pill Sect were also so powerful?
As the Zhang famil clan head, Zhang Shizhao was able to lead the Zhang family to make a name for themselves in this chaotic Qianzhong Ridge as he was quick to spot opportunities. And this time, it was to slap Zhang Yuhong down.
“It’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. We’re all on the same side,” said Zhang Shizhao as he tried to squeeze out a harmless smile to Ling Chuxi and the others. He could not be bothered to check on Zhang Yuhong’s injuries right now.
“You’re the Zhang family clan head of Kai Yuan City?” asked Ling Chuxi coldly with narrowed eyes.
“Yes, I’m the Zhang family clan head, Zhang Shizhao. Greetings, Sect Leader Ling and Elder Su.” Zhang Shizhao bowed respectfully.
Ling Chuxi and Su Yifinger exchanged glances. It seemed that he already knew their identities. But how? They looked behind Zhang Shizhao, puzzled, and saw Yue Qingjie hiding outside the door as he peeked in Only then did the two of them come to a realization, it turned out that this guy had come to Qianzhong Ridge. The rumours were right. The Zhang family indeed had dealings with the disciples of the sect.
“You stay here. The rest of you, leave,” said Ling Chuxi coldly without batting an eyelid.
Zhang Shizhao’s heart turned cold. Looking at this situation, it was obvious that Ling Chuxi did not want other people to know about their background. Could it be that she wanted to enforce the family law?
If the Zhang family had been expelled from the sect by Golden Pill Sect, then they had nothing to do with the sect anymore. As long as they hid in Qianzhong Ridge and didn’t do anything evil, the sect wouldn’t be able to do anything to them. However, the problem was that the Zhang family had considered themselves as still part of the sect after all these years. Although they didn’t say it explicitly, they did rely on Golden Pill Sect’s martial skills and past reputation to establish their current foundation. Even if they wanted to enforce the family law, he couldn’t refute it.
A few guards looked at Ling Chuxi and then looked at Zhang Shizhao. They did not know what to do for a moment.
“Didn’t you hear? Scram, scram as far away as you can.” Zhang Shizhao shouted at the others through gritted his teeth.
He couldn’t fight them nor hide anywhere in Qianzhong Ridge. Moreover, Ling Chuxi still had Ling Wushang behind her. It would be easy for her to simply destroy the Zhang family. Now that things had come to this, he could only resign himself to fate. The only fortunate thing was that he only allowed himself to stay, so Zhang Yuhong could at least escape.
It had to be said that this old man’s imagination was pretty good. He always let his thoughts fly freely.
