NOVEL NEXT Chapter 23
“General Zhang, he deserved this punishment. Do you want to rebel?”
Shen Changqing quickly stood in front of Zhang Luoyan, fearing that Zhang Wufeng would kill her.
“Your Highness, this is too much! Let me through!” Zhang Wufeng gritted his teeth, his eyes red with anger after losing his beloved mistress and son in just one day.
“What if I don’t let you through? Do you want to kill me?” Shen Changqing’s firm tone showed that he was not afraid of Zhang Wufeng’s murderous intent.
Zhang Wufeng stared at Shen Changqing, lost in thought, and the atmosphere became even tenser.
At that moment, the heavenly fate map in front of Zhang Yi suddenly trembled, and the task regarding Zhang Luoyan had changed.
[ Task: Help Zhang Luoyan ten times (5/10). ]
“I wonder if my junior sister has any more enemies in the General’s Mansion?” Solving three problems just in the mansion showed that completing the task about Zhang Luoyan in the Great Zhou Dynasty would be a piece of cake.
“General Zhang, as Luoyan’s father, you did nothing about this matter. I have already let it go, but what else do you want?” Shen Changqing remained calm and was not afraid of Zhang Wufeng killing him.
Zhang Wufeng’s murderous intent gradually dissipated, but his resentful gaze did not diminish.
“You unfilial daughter! I don’t want to see you anymore and don’t let me see you again in the future. Also… I want to move your mother’s grave out of the Zhang family cemetery!” Zhang Wufeng could not vent his anger on Zhang Luoyan and decided to take it out on her deceased mother.
Zhang Luoyan looked at Zhang Wufeng in disbelief, disappointment written all over her face. “Zhang Wufeng! Are you even human? My mother devoted her life to you, but you won’t even let her rest in peace!”
Zhang Wufeng’s behavior was too much for Zhang Yi, who frowned in disapproval. He felt that Zhang Wufeng was unworthy of being a father and a husband.
“Don’t blame others, blame yourself!” Zhang Wufeng couldn’t help but feel a sense of revenge when he saw Zhang Luoyan’s painful expression.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Luoyan seemed to have made up her mind and said firmly, “Zhang Wufeng, from today on, we have nothing to do with each other!”
“Since the day you left the General’s Mansion, we already had no relationship!”
“No, we only have hatred between us!”
Zhang Wufeng snorted coldly and said viciously, “Besides, I will move your mother’s grave myself, so you don’t need to lay a finger on it.”
Zhang Luoyan didn’t know what else Zhang Wufeng might do to her mother’s body, so she naturally wanted to take it with her. She started walking toward the tomb.
“What right do you have to enter my Zhang family’s ancestral tomb?” Zhang Wufeng naturally wouldn’t let Zhang Luoyan get her way and shouted, “Men, move that cheap slave’s grave! I want to destroy her bones in front of this unfilial daughter!”
With a loud shout, a group of soldiers in armor immediately took orders and rushed to the Zhang family’s ancestral tomb to take action.
Shen Changqing wanted to stop them, but he was stopped by Zhang Wufeng. Even Shen Changqing couldn’t stop this.
“Zhang Wufeng! Are you still human?” Zhang Luoyan shouted angrily and stood alone in front of the group of soldiers, “You’re not allowed to go!”
Shen Changqing and Shen Chenyu also stood in front of the group of soldiers, which made Zhang Wufeng both angry and amused. “Can you stop them? Can you stop me?”
Today, Zhang Wufeng was determined to move Zhang Luoyan’s mother’s grave.
However, at this moment, Zhang Yi took out a gold token engraved with the character “Zhang”. “General Zhang, do you recognize this token?”
Zhang Wufeng’s expression suddenly changed, his face full of shock and his voice even trembled, “You…how do you have the Zhang family’s token?”
Seeing this, Zhang Yi was also a little surprised, ‘This token has such a big background?’
It turned out that when Yue Yao adopted him back then, he carried the token with him. He took it out now just to try it out, but he didn’t expect that it would really have a connection to Zhang Wufeng’s Zhang family.
Zhang Luoyan was also stunned, “Big Brother actually has a relationship with our Zhang family?”
At this moment, Zhang Wufeng reacted, and his expression was beyond exciting, “You are a Zhang, and you have such talent. I should have known you came from there.”
‘There? What is he talking about?’ Zhang Yi was confused. He had never heard of any powerful force on the Wuling Continent that was surnamed Zhang, but he didn’t reveal it. This identity could be used to help Zhang Luoyan out of trouble.
‘When we go back, I’ll ask my master if she knows my identity,’ Zhang Yi decided in his heart. Judging from Zhang Wufeng’s expression, that place was definitely not simple, and might even be a force beyond the Dao Sect.
“Since you recognize this token, does that mean I have the right to enter the Zhang family’s ancestral tomb?” Zhang Yi asked in a cold voice.
This frightened Zhang Wufeng. He didn’t care about Zhang Yi’s seniority in the sect, but he dared not ignore the token.
“Your Majesty is joking. As long as you say the word, the Zhang family belongs to you,” Zhang Wufeng said, looking completely different than before, smiling and attentive.
Shen Changqing and the others were stunned. ‘What’s going on? Does Zhang Yi still has a mysterious background?’
“General Zhang, what is that token? And where is that place you mentioned?” Shen Changqing’s curiosity was piqued by the mysterious token.
Shen Changqing unintentionally helped Zhang Yi ask his questions, earning a silent nod of approval from Zhang Yi.
“I can’t say, I can’t say,” Zhang Wufeng said, evasive.
Shen Changqing frowned, disliking the feeling of being toyed with.
“Since Luoyan is Your Majesty’s junior sister, her mother’s grave won’t be disturbed.”
Zhang Wufeng thought for a moment and changed his attitude, suggesting a solution. This was much more effective than Shen Changqing’s attempts.
Shen Changqing frowned at Zhang Yi, feeling as if he were being played. If Zhang Yi had shown the token earlier, they wouldn’t have had so much trouble.
‘When did Zhang Yi become this kind of person, showing off in front of me?’ Shen Changqing frowned, feeling that something was off.
“Brother Zhang, why didn’t you show us the token earlier?” Shen Changqing felt frustrated. Earlier, he had shown his prestige, but now he couldn’t solve the complete problem. Zhang Yi simply took out the token and solved everything, leaving him feeling defeated.
Zhang Yi wanted to tell him that he had just learned about the importance of the token but to maintain his image, he only said coldly, “The real weapon should be brought out last.”
Shen Changqing was speechless. He felt as if he had been schemed by Zhang Yi, but he had no evidence.
“Brother Zhang Yi is so cool. Just a token made the general bow down to him!” Shen Chenyu clapped and cheered like a fan.
