Chapter 2396: Chapter 2385: Almost Scared to Death
In Cheng Meizhen’s courtyard.
Silence so profound that a pin drop could be heard.
With the arrival of Ye Chenfeng, Zhang Yingnian, and Zhang Yingshui, everyone was utterly perplexed.
Those present could discern that the shouting earlier came from Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui, and it was also their strength that sent Zhang Zhixing flying. What was this all about?
Wasn’t Ye Chenfeng the one who forcefully entered the Zhang family inner courtyard?
Not only did Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui appear with Ye Chenfeng, but they also seemed to be siding with him?
Cheng Yuanmu, Cheng Yiyao, and the old steward, who had been prepared to shoulder the responsibility, had a look of bewilderment and uncertainty in their eyes, unable to comprehend the situation at all.
The people of Cheng Meizhen and Zhang Chengwen’s branch increasingly found the situation bizarre. Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui were the supreme beings of the Zhang family, and the other ancestors like Zhang Zhixing were simply incomparable before them.
Ye Chenfeng felt relieved upon seeing that Cheng Yuanmu and the others were unharmed. If Zhang Zhixing had injured Cheng Yuanmu, he really wouldn’t know how to deal with Zhang Zhixing as he was the one who had forcefully entered the Zhang family.
Ye Chenfeng walked to Cheng Yuanmu and the others and asked, "Are you all alright?"
Cheng Yuanmu, Cheng Yiyao, and the others mechanically shook their heads, unable to sort out this matter in their hearts. Why did the Zhang family’s two Early Divine Venerate Realm ancestors seem to side entirely with Ye Chenfeng? It defied reason, no matter how they tried to make sense of it.
Fell like a dog eating dirt.
Zhang Zhixing, with dirt on his face, had merely been pushed away by Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui’s power, and didn’t suffer injuries. After getting up from the ground, he felt both angry and confused, unable to understand what Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui were doing. Could it be that Ye Chenfeng had control over Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui?
Those other Zhang family members gathering around the courtyard.
Some people originally came with a gloating attitude towards Cheng Meizhen’s branch, but now the whole affair was becoming increasingly mysterious.
Zhang Zhixing and several other ancestors were of a younger generation compared to Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui.
Just as Zhang Zhixing was about to speak, Zhang Yingnian scolded, "You impertinent fool, since you’ve stood up, hurry over and apologize! You with such character still dare to act as our Zhang family’s ancestor? Usually, you are responsible for the Zhang family’s affairs, and you’re ruining the family with your carelessness."
Zhang Yingshui waved his sleeve ferociously, "Fortunately, you didn’t cause a major catastrophe today, or else I’d have to take apart your bones with my own hands."
Seeing the confusion among all the Zhang family members, Zhang Zhixing and several Divine King Realm ancestors didn’t lose their anger, and Zhang Yingshui continued looking at Ye Chenfeng, "Do you know who this young friend is? He comes from the family of our benefactor. Without the benefactor, our Zhang family would still be unknown, not even producing Divine King Realm warriors."
Virtually all the Zhang family members present didn’t know that their benefactor was from the Dragon Clan, but they knew the family’s rise was due to someone’s help.
However, Zhang Zhixing and several Zhang family Divine King Realm ancestors knew some things. They understood that the Zhang family was connected to the Dragon Clan and that their present status was entirely due to the secret assistance of the Dragon Clan, a mighty clan from the Ancient Era.
Since Zhang Yingshui said Ye Chenfeng came from the family of their benefactor, doesn’t that mean Ye Chenfeng is from the Dragon Clan?
Zhang Zhixing and others hadn’t been to Returning Dragon Valley, and each time someone from the Dragon Clan came, they only contacted Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui. They didn’t even have the qualification to meet the individuals from the Dragon Clan. Did anyone know that the person who intruded into the Zhang family inner courtyard was from the Dragon Clan?
Now Zhang Zhixing understood many things; it makes sense that their bodies were unable to move earlier; it must have been due to suppression from their bloodlines, making their faces show fear.
Zhang Zhixing and several Divine King Realm ancestors came to Ye Chenfeng, their anger replaced with humility, bowing one by one to Ye Chenfeng. Zhang Zhixing said, "I must apologize for my rudeness earlier, truly unaware of your identity, young friend. I apologize sincerely."
The other Divine King Realm ancestors followed suit.
Cheng Yuanmu, Cheng Yiyao, and the old steward were even more dumbfounded upon seeing Zhang Zhixing and others apologizing. They knew Ye Chenfeng came from the Central Continent and maybe had some ties with the Wus and Jiangs but when did Ye Chenfeng become part of the benefactor family of the Zhang family? Could the benefactor be the Wus or the Jiangs?
This doesn’t make sense.
Ye Chenfeng’s surname is Ye, while the Wus and Jiangs have surnames Wu and Jiang. Ye Chenfeng might not be from the Wu or Jiang families, merely having some connections, and everything indicates that the benefactor family of the Zhang family isn’t possibly the Wu or Jiang families.
Cheng Meizhen and Zhang Chengwen also widened their eyes. They knew Zhang Zhixing’s usually stern and strict personality, a proud man who rarely lowers his head.
Even Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui were dissatisfied with the apology from Zhang Zhixing and others, knowing well that Ye Chenfeng is the Clan Leader of the Dragon Clan! Was this the appropriate attitude towards an apology to the Clan Leader of the Dragon Clan?
Zhang Zhixing and others were aware of the matters concerning the Dragon Clan.
Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui simply told Zhang Zhixing and several ancestors about Ye Chenfeng’s identity via private communication: "You bunch of fools, show some sincere apology attitude, do you know who he is? He is the Clan Leader of the Dragon Clan, and we all carry the faint bloodline of the Dragon Clan within us. The Clan Leader could annihilate you lot solely with a thought without lifting a finger."
With Zhang Yingnian’s voice echoing in their minds.
Zhang Zhixing and the ancestors were in disbelief, momentarily stunned, and once they came to their senses, their bodies began trembling. They knew how deeply Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui revered the Dragon Clan, who surely wouldn’t joke about Dragon Clan matters.
So, Ye Chenfeng before them is indeed the Clan Leader of the Dragon Clan? The legendary Clan Leader of the Dragon Clan?
Zhang Zhixing and the others almost wet themselves in fright.
The Clan Leader of the Dragon Clan isn’t to be trifled with!
"Thud! Thud! Thud!—"
Zhang Zhixing and several Divine King Realm ancestors knelt before Ye Chenfeng, Zhang Zhixing’s voice trembling, "Please forgive my rashness and punish me. I’m willing to accept any judgment."
The other Divine King Realm ancestors echoed his words almost verbatim.
Zhang Zhixing and the ancestors willingly bowing to apologize was already a very rare occurrence.
How did this situation suddenly turn?
Zhang Zhixing and others all knelt and apologized?
Ye Chenfeng gave a bitter smile, knowing that he didn’t need them to kneel and apologize as he himself was at fault for forcefully breaching the Zhang family inner courtyard.
