“Sorry, sorry. I was just getting too excited. Tell me, what happened?” Zhang Shizhao let go of his hand.
“The people who came this time are from the Su family. They have returned to the ruins of Golden Pill Sect to rebuild the sect. They have been going to the major sects to invite them to participate in their sect opening ceremony. However, the current Golden Pill Sect leader is not a member of the Su family. She’s a young girl named Ling Chuxi. And my disappointing son just had to offend her…” Yue Qingjie lowered his voice, briefly recounting what had happened.
“Good! Good!” Although Yue Qingjie’s explanation was simple, Zhang Shizhao’s blood was already boiling in excitement.
After the destruction of Golden Pill Sect, the disciples were either dead or injured. The Zhang family had no choice but to come to Qianzhong Ridge. Although they had built a foundation with the reputation of the sect in the past, which was somewhat like a fox taking advantage of the tiger’s power, the descendants of the Zhang family did not forget their roots. They had always remembered that they were the descendants of Golden Pill Sect. Now that he heard the sect had been rebuilt and that the situation was good, he was naturally overjoyed. Moreover, when he heard that the new sect leader seemed to be an extraordinary figure, his excitement quickly turned into curiosity
“Brother Zhang, although your Zhang family is the descendant of Golden Pill Sect, you don’t have to react so happily to what happened right?” Zhang Shizhao repeatedly exclaimed in excitement, but Yue Qingjie’s face was gloomy. ‘What did he mean by ‘good’? Was he referring to how my son got a beating or that my family was expelled from our sect?’
Zhang Shizhao realized that he had lost his composure and coughed dryly. “Brother Yue, you also know that the ancestors of our Zhang family were actually counting on the rebuilding of the sect. This time, when the Su family returned, it was naturally the integration of the three branches of medicine and martial arts. Moreover, they also have the support of the direct descendant of Celestial Sect, the Duan family, as well as Flowing Clouds Sect. Not to mention that Sect Leader Ling actually has such a powerful elder brother. This sect opening ceremony is most likely not going to be a problem. So, of course I’m happy.
“But Brother Yue, to tell you the truth, what you did was not very honest. Our Zhang and Yue families have been on good terms for generations. For you to attempt to frame someone from our ancestral sect was such a terrible decision. Fortunately, nothing major happened. Otherwise, I would really need a proper explanation from you.” Zhang Shizhao changed the topic as he reprimanded Yue Qingjie.
“That’s why I said that I was possessed. In the beginning, I only wanted to lure her into the forbidden area and kill two birds with one stone to implicate Ling Wushang. Who knew that Ling Wushang was so strong that even Zhu Tianzhi couldn’t withstand the might of his sword? How could such a restriction be able to trap them?
“I had even thought that Zhu Tianzhi and Ling Wushang were evenly matched. I even placed all my bets on Zhu Tianzhi. But alas, I had failed. I now know that the reason Ling Wushang didn’t attack Zhu Tianzhi all these years. Ling Wushang didn’t even acknowledge Zhu Tianzhi to be worth his attention!” Yue Qingjie couldn’t help but sigh when he recalled what happened that day. He didn’t know what happened in the forbidden area. He thought that Ling Chuxi was able to escape safely because of Ling Wushang’s strength. Of course, Yue Qingjie didn’t mention how he had been bewitched by the words of his own wife. He needed to retain whatever pride he had left.
“That’s why I was so happy to hear about Zhu Tianzhi in your story. He had already reached the realm of Heavenly Essence at such a young age and thus was considered a rare talent among the big sects. If he couldn’t even take a sword strike from Ling Wushang, a backer of our sect leader, I’m confident that Golden Pill Sect will one day be able to re-join the five big sects,” said Zhang Shizhao happily.
