Chapter 2397: Chapter 2386: Refusing to Reveal
After Zhang Zhixing and several ancestors at the Divine King Realm knelt down.
The members of the Zhang family’s outer and inner courtyards gathered in the courtyard. Before, they also believed Ye Chenfeng had malicious intentions.
For a moment.
They didn’t know what to do.
Suddenly.
A member of the Zhang family’s outer courtyard also knelt before Ye Chenfeng. With this as a start...
"Thud! Thud!" The sound rang continuously.
One by one, all the Zhang family members knelt before Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng knew it was definitely Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui who sent a message to Zhang Zhixing and the others. Otherwise, Zhang Zhixing and the others would never kneel. As for the surrounding Zhang family members, although they didn’t know Ye Chenfeng’s identity, since even Zhang Zhixing and other ancestors knelt, they naturally only followed suit in such a situation.
The members of Cheng Meizhen and Zhang Chengwen’s branch looked at each other, completely at a loss as to what to do. Should they also kneel before Ye Chenfeng?
When Cheng Meizhen didn’t know what to do.
Ye Chenfeng immediately spoke, "Everyone please stand up! Previously, I forced my way into the Zhang family’s inner courtyard, which was my mistake first, so you don’t need to apologize to me. Let’s just let the bygones be bygones."
Zhang Zhixing and the others had no intention of standing up, and Ye Chenfeng glanced at Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui.
Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui thought to themselves, as expected of the Dragon Clan’s Clan Leader, he truly has a broad mind!
Zhang Yingnian shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Didn’t you hear? Get up, all of you!"
Originally, Zhang Zhixing and the other ancestors didn’t dare to stand up. The name of the Dragon Clan’s Clan Leader was just too illustrious, and they didn’t even know what punishment awaited them. But who could have known that the Clan Leader wouldn’t hold it against them? They also started to admire his graciousness.
Zhang Zhixing and the other ancestors repeatedly thanked Ye Chenfeng for his forgiveness.
Ye Chenfeng’s identity as the Dragon Clan’s Clan Leader was not suitable for all Zhang family members to know.
Zhang Yingshui waved his hand and said, "All of you leave now! Do not spread today’s events outside. If anyone dares to speak nonsense outside, they will be immediately expelled from the Zhang family."
The rest of the Zhang family members didn’t know that Ye Chenfeng was the Dragon Clan’s Clan Leader, nor were they aware of their family’s connection to the Dragon Clan. After hearing Zhang Yingshui’s words, they quickly dispersed.
Soon, only Zhang Yingnian, Zhang Yingshui, Zhang Zhixing, and other ancestors, along with Ye Chenfeng, Cheng Yuanmu, and Cheng Meizhen, remained.
Zhang Yingnian sent a message to Ye Chenfeng, "Clan Leader, should we contact the old fellows of the Medicine Saint Hall and Artifact Saint Hall now to see if we can find out where the Wus and Jiangs are from them?"
After seeing Ye Chenfeng nod slightly.
Zhang Yingnian politely said to Cheng Meizhen, "Please lend us your room."
Cheng Meizhen immediately said, "Please, ancestor."
Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui then entered a room in the courtyard, followed cautiously by Zhang Zhixing and the other ancestors, leaving only Ye Chenfeng, Cheng Yuanmu, Cheng Meizhen, and Cheng Yiyao in the courtyard.
All eyes were focused on Ye Chenfeng. Cheng Meizhen and Zhang Chengwen did not dare to misbehave in front of Ye Chenfeng. Didn’t they just see that even Zhang Zhixing and other ancestors, and the entire Zhang family, knelt and apologized to Ye Chenfeng?
"Brother Ye, what is this all about?" Cheng Yuanmu exclaimed with amazement in his tone.
Ye Chenfeng casually said, "I had previously speculated that I might have some connection with the Zhang family. To confirm this, I broke into the inner courtyard to verify it with the two Divine Venerables of the Zhang family."
Ye Chenfeng then looked at Cheng Meizhen and Zhang Chengwen and said, "If you want to move to the inner courtyard, you can go back at any time. I’ll mention it to the two Zhang family ancestors later."
As it stands now.
Cheng Meizhen knew that Ye Chenfeng had a significant background. Since Ye Chenfeng was brought by her brother Cheng Yuanmu, it would only benefit their branch and not harm them. Just as she was about to express her gratitude to Ye Chenfeng, Zhang Chengwen spoke up, "Thank you for your kind offer, but I don’t want to rely on connections to return to the inner courtyard. I will use my abilities to bring our branch back to the inner courtyard. I will eventually take the path of alchemy and become an outstanding Alchemist."
Everyone has their own convictions.
Since Zhang Chengwen insisted, Ye Chenfeng did not push further.
Ye Chenfeng smiled and said, "Deciding to take the path of alchemy will definitely affect your cultivation progression. Think it over carefully. Relying on yourself to enter the ranks of Alchemists will be even harder."
The aura around Ye Chenfeng still remained at the Earth God Realm.
After being lectured by Ye Chenfeng, Zhang Chengwen felt uncomfortable and displeased.
At this moment.
"Bang! Bang!" Two explosive sounds were heard from the room Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui had entered.
Ye Chenfeng said, "I’ll go have a look."
Cheng Meizhen, Cheng Yuanmu, and the others didn’t follow, as the room was full of Zhang family ancestors.
The Zhang family ancestors treated them kindly entirely because of Ye Chenfeng, so it was better for them to stay in the courtyard.
After Ye Chenfeng pushed open the door and entered the room.
He saw Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui’s palms covered in powder, their faces filled with anger, and their chests heaving.
Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui were acquainted with a few old timers in the Myriad Fire City Medicine Saint Hall and Artifact Saint Hall.
Upon entering the room.
They used the Messaging Jade Tokens to contact the old fellows of the Medicine Saint Hall and Artifact Saint Hall. Zhang Yingnian contacted the Medicine Saint Hall, while Zhang Yingshui contacted the Artifact Saint Hall.
But no matter what they said, or how generous the conditions offered to the Medicine Saint Hall and Artifact Saint Hall, those old guards simply wouldn’t reveal anything. In the end, they abruptly cut the communication on the Messaging Jade Tokens, leaving Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui seething, and they crushed the Messaging Jade Tokens into powder in their hands.
"Damn it, those stubborn old fools, asking them to reveal the locations of the Wus and Jiangs was like asking for their lives," Zhang Yingnian swore angrily.
Seeing Ye Chenfeng walk in, Zhang Yingshui said, "Clan Leader, it seems we can’t get the locations of the Wus and Jiangs from the Medicine Saint Hall and Artifact Saint Hall."
Zhang Zhixing raged, "The Medicine Saint Hall and Artifact Saint Hall really think too highly of themselves. Who do they think they are? Our Clan Leader wants this information, and they dare not tell us? This is outrageous."
Zhang Zhixing, who thought he had offended Ye Chenfeng earlier, took this chance to express his determination.
Ye Chenfeng frowned slightly. It seemed he would have to personally visit the Medicine Saint Hall or the Artifact Saint Hall.
