Chapter 1064: She Naturally Had Her Reasons
However, Ling Chuxi’s heart might not be as broad as they had imagined. She obviously had her reasons for letting Yue Qingjie off so easily this time.
Although Yue Qingjie had plotted to harm her last time, not only did he not succeed, he even let her get the Gold Glass Beast. Thus, she should be thanking him instead.
Moreover, he had already been expelled from the sect, which was the punishment he deserved. Even the leader of Flowing Clouds Sect and her big brother did not continue to make things difficult for him by letting him live. If Ling Chuxi continued to make things difficult for him, wouldn’t that be disrespecting the decision of the leader of Flowing Clouds Sect and her big brother?
Moreover, he knew that he would find trouble with her today, yet he still stood up for the Zhang family. He was quite considerate after all.
Ling Chuxi valued friendship very much, so anyone who portrayed it would be held quite highly in her heart. However, she never thought that her action would cause such a big shock to Zhang Shizhao and his son.
Zhang Shizhao took the lead and started walking downstairs.
The Zhang family’s guards were guarding the restaurant from afar as they nervously observed the movements upstairs. When they saw Zhang Shizhao came downstairs, they let out a long sigh of relief and quickly surrounded him.
Ling Chuxi and the others knew their limits when they fought earlier. The Zhang family’s guards looked miserable, but their bones and tendons had not been injured. The most they have needed was some temporary bandages.
However, those who were injured by the Gongxi clan’s attacks were not so lucky. Even if they did not die, they would at least lose a layer of skin. When they turned up after the fight, they were immediately rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.
“This is Sect Leader Ling and Elder Su of Sword Heart Stream.” Zhang Shizhao introduced them to the guards as he cleared his throat after a cough.
“Greetings, Sect Leader Ling, Elder Su.” Even a blind man could see the respect on Zhang Shizhao’s face, so they bowed and greeted them too.
However, they were extremely surprised in their hearts. Where did Sword Heart Gang come from? They had never heard of them before and yet their clan head was being so respectful to them. No, it wasn’t just respect, but reverence, just as how one would look when looking at a clan head.
Even Zhang Yuhong, who had been beaten beyond recognition, didn’t have any hatred in his eyes. Instead, it was filled with affection and admiration. No matter how hard they thought, they couldn’t figure out the reason. But they could confirm one thing. They couldn’t afford to offend these people. Their clan head would tear them apart even before they could even dare to.
Zheng Zhijun, who had been on the sidelines now looked even more surprised. Did he guess wrongly? If they weren’t disciples of Celestial Sect, then were they simply from Sword Heart Gang? No, how could an unknown force make the Zhang family’s leader so respectful? There must have been something else going on.
Although he was full of doubts, Zheng Zhijun also knew that there were some things that shouldn’t be said, even if they were rotten in the stomach. Otherwise, it would be too late to regret it.
“Sect Master Ling, Elder Su, please.” The Zhang family clan leader had his specially-made carriage drive to the front, but Zhang Shizhao didn’t get in. Instead, he opened the carriage door and gestured for them to enter.
Ling Chuxi and Elder Su didn’t stand on ceremony. They stepped into the carriage before Zhang Shizhao did the same.
The guards were dumbfounded. If Zhang Shizhao had only been respectful, it would have been fine. It would have been fine if Sword Heart Gang had some hidden power.
But…
