NOVEL NEXT Chapter 24
Shen Changqing’s face twitched and he muttered under his breath, “Why haven’t you praised me? A girl who values love over family.”
“Buzz!”
The heavenly fate map in front of Zhang Yi vibrated once again, and the task regarding Zhang Luoyan’s page had changed.
[ Task: Help Zhang Luoyan ten times. (6/10) ]
‘Good, it’s best if all of Junior Sister’s enemies are in the General’s Manion. With this token, everything would be easier,’ Zhang Yi thought.
At this moment, Zhang Wufeng also changed his attitude from before and warmly walked to Zhang Luoyan’s side. “Luoyan, it was all Dad’s fault before. How much did you suffer before coming to the General’s Manion? Tell us everything today, and Dad will help you deal with them!”
Zhang Luoyan’s expression was full of disgust as she avoided Zhang Wufeng. His current attitude only made her feel sick. “We have no relationship now!”
Of course, she knew that Zhang Wufeng was behaving so intimately because of Zhang Yi’s Zhang family token.
“Junior Sister, I know you’ve suffered a lot in the General’s Manion. Now that Senior Brother is here with you, let’s settle the account from back then!” Zhang Yi couldn’t let Zhang Luoyan end things like this. He wanted to be done with the task of helping her.
“As a member of the Dao sect, we must not suffer!” Zhang Yi said righteously.
Hearing this, Zhang Luoyan showed a look of gratitude and stared at Zhang Yi with her starry eyes. “Senior Brother…”
People say that Zhang Yi is cold and ruthless, but compared to her cold-blooded family members, Zhang Yi is the light of her life.
Seeing this, Shen Changqing became anxious. He had finally shown off in front of Zhang Luoyan, he couldn’t let Zhang Yi steal the show. “Luoyan, if you have any grievances, just say it. I’ll support you too!”
“Yes! Sister Luoyan, with Brother Zhang Yi here, there’s nothing to be afraid of!” Shen Chenyu gazed at Zhang Yi with a lovestruck expression and waved her little fist.
Shen Changqing glared at Shen Chenyu and lightly pinched her arm, whispering, “Shen Chenyu! Don’t forget that I’m your big brother!”
“Are you crazy? Why are you pinching me?” Shen Chenyu yelled and stomped on Shen Changqing’s foot, saying angrily, “So what if you’re my big brother? Brother Zhang Yi is my moonlight!”
“Enough, stop talking!” Shen Changqing quickly interrupted Shen Chenyu. He knew how crazy his little sister was about Zhang Yi.
Zhang Wufeng had no interest in watching the siblings bickering. His mind was entirely focused on Zhang Yi. The fervor in his eyes was no less than Shen Chenyu’s. “Your Majesty, it was my fault for not managing the situation well before and neglecting Luoyan’s feelings. I know who bullied her!”
“Bring the steward, martial arts instructor, Zhang Cheng, and the maid out here!” Zhang Wufeng called out the names of over ten people.
Zhang Luoyan looked even more desolate. Everyone Zhang Wufeng called out was someone who had bullied her in the past, not one more, not one less.
But this also made her feel even more heartbroken. So he knew everything… He just chose to ignore it.
Zhang Yi was also somewhat shocked. He didn’t realize so many people had bullied Zhang Luoyan in the General’s Manion, and that she had suffered so much in the past.
“Damn it! Why did he turn a blind eye when he knew?!” Shen Changqing was furious and felt even more heartbroken for Zhang Luoyan.
A moment later, everyone Zhang Wufeng called out was brought before Zhang Luoyan.
This time was different. They all knew what had happened before. When they saw Zhang Luoyan, they begged for mercy as if they had seen a god of plague.
“Luoyan! It was Auntie San who ordered us before. Please forgive us!”
“Sister Luoyan, I was young and ignorant at the time. I just followed everyone else…”
“Sister Luoyan, please spare me for the sake of our sisterhood.”
Among them, some were Zhang Luoyan’s siblings, who were also part of the group that bullied her in the past.
Zhang Luoyan looked at the ugly faces in front of her and her expression gradually became pained. It seemed like she was recalling something unpleasant.
Before Zhang Luoyan could even speak, Zhang Wufeng drew his sword. A cold blade flashed by, and over ten heads fell to the ground. The smell of blood instantly spread throughout the General’s Mansion.
He acted decisively and didn’t give them a chance to beg for mercy.
Originally, he could also protect someone, but he acted decisively because of Zhang family token in Zhang Yi’s hand.
Just as more than a dozen heads fell to the ground, the Heavenly Fate Map in front of Zhang Yi’s flickered. When he checked it again, he found that the page belonging to Zhang Luoyan had already been completely lit up, and the reward had already been issued.
Suddenly, the Heavenly River Sword Technique and five boxes of different colors appeared in his mind. It seemed that these were the so-called Heavenly Fate Boxes.
“Wow, my junior sister’s favorability towards me has reached five stars?”
When Zhang Yi checked the favorability panel, he was shocked. She was currently the highest among all the people with lit-up pages.
“I wonder how much favorability is considered love?”
Zhang Yi was curious, he would have to make a judgment based on his future experience.
But he had completed all the tasks in the General Mansion of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which made him feel relieved. He just wanted to leave and find a place to cultivate in seclusion and study the Heavenly River Sword Technique and open the Heavenly Fate Boxes.
“Speaking of which, my junior sister only tricked me a few times in the beginning. Later on, it was surprisingly smooth.”
Thinking about the entire process of the task, a rare smile appeared on Zhang Yi’s cold face.
At this time, Zhang Luoyan had already walked to Zhang Yi’s side, her voice with a hint of crying, “Big Brother, let’s go back. I never want to come to the Great Zhou again!”
Zhang Yi felt happy in his heart and gave her an approving look. He thought that she finally became sensible, proposing the idea of leaving as soon as he thought the same.
This made Zhang Wufeng anxious. He walked over to Zhang Luoyan with an anxious look on his face and asked eagerly, “Luoyan, your father has helped you kill them. What else are you not satisfied with?”
Shen Changqing also approached, “Luoyan, you’ve come back for such a rare trip. Stay a few more days, and I’ll take you out to relax.”
“Zhang Yi, are you going back to the Dao sect? Can I go with you?” Shen Chenyu was acting spoiled.
She finally saw Zhang Yi again, and naturally did not want to part ways. The best way was to join the Dao sect, preferably becoming a disciple of Yue Yao, so that she could be with Zhang Yi every day.
Zhang Yi frowned slightly and said in a cold voice, “No need, I’m going back to the Dao sect to cultivate in seclusion!”
Seeing that they still had no reaction, Zhang Yi’s face became angry, and his tone became more severe, “What? Do you want to force us to stay?”
Zhang Wufeng immediately shook his head and hurriedly explained, “Your Majesty has misunderstood. I just hope that Your Majesty can speak to them on my behalf!”
“Do you think you are worthy?”
Zhang Yi didn’t know which place he was referring to, so he assumed the attitude of a superior and asked arrogantly.
