"Teacher Meng Hui?" Zhang Rongfang looked at the elder in front of him, "Where is Huanqing? I’m here to see him."
"He’s not the same as before, you can’t see him just because you want to." Elder Meng Hui calmly said, "Go back."
"???" Zhang Rongfang didn’t understand what he meant. "Teacher Meng Hui, as his uncle, I only have this one nephew, so I need to check if he is growing up correctly."
He looked at the other party inexplicably.
"So, what do you mean by this?"
"He doesn’t want to see you. So....." Meng Hui frowned and said.
"How could a nephew not want to see his uncle? Teacher Meng, you’ve been deceived." Zhang Rongfang’s eyes flickered and he immediately laughed.
"That kid has this problem, his words don’t match his heart. Actually, he misses me very much in his heart, just too embarrassed to say so."
Whoosh!
In an instant, his figure blurred and suddenly brushed past Meng Hui.
In just a moment, he was beside Zhang Huanqing.
"Isn’t that right, Xiaohuanqing? Do you really want to see me?"
He gently placed his hands on Xiaohuanqing’s shoulders.
The latter’s body hair stood on end, feeling like a little white rabbit being watched by a predator, not daring to move at all.
At this moment, not only was Xiaohuanqing deeply shaken and terrified.
Meng Hui and the Yi Vein masters secretly guarding nearby were all deeply shocked.
In the dark corners surrounding the yard, sharp breath and energy involuntarily leaked out.
These are the people sent by the Yi Vein to protect Zhang Huanqing.
Meng Hui’s previously indifferent eyes suddenly became extremely serious.
Just now, he didn’t even have time to react. He completely didn’t anticipate that the other party would brush past him. freewebnøvel.coɱ
He turned back to stare at Zhang Rongfang.
"What a body technique.... I misjudged it." He had always heard that Zhang Rongfang, this uncle, came from a humble background, although talented, started practicing martial arts too late, delayed too much, and now it’s quite rare for him to achieve high grade.
But now it seems.... this is no longer just a high grade... but a super grade! They all misjudged!
But Zhang Rongfang merely smiled slightly.
"Xiaohuanqing, come, tell your uncle.... do you want to see me?" His finger gently traced across the child’s smooth cheek.
The icy fingernails were sharp and piercing, even when touched with the back side, causing the fear in Xiaohuanqing’s heart to grow increasingly intense.
"...I do ...." Xiaohuanqing gritted his teeth and suddenly showed a sincere smile. "I really want to see uncle!"
"Is that so? That’s good...." Zhang Rongfang also showed a sincere smile.
In a year, he had pushed everything that could be enhanced to its peak.
All martial arts skills in the attribute listing had reached the limit, and the rest couldn’t be improved due to unmet conditions.
Even his health attributes had finally broken through a thousand....
Now, he truly felt he could begin attempting to establish a completely secure harbor of his own.
This was his primary, ultimate goal from the start.
Establish a defined sphere of influence.
This is what he intended to accomplish this time by stepping forward.
By exploiting the Sea Dragon incident, to demonstrate the strength of his forces, in order to assert Wushan Prefecture as his genuine sphere of dominance.
Instead of previously hiding and relying on Yue Shi to barely settle things.
Now, with the Human Immortal Temple’s doctrines completed and revised multiple times, most of the Bloodline had been forcibly pulled back. He could genuinely try to establish his own practice.
"I heard you’re leaving?" Zhang Rongfang asked again.
"Yes... Father is being transferred to Rongzhou, we have to follow him." Xiaohuanqing surprisingly understood everything.
"Rongzhou.... well, that’s not far, only five or six hundred miles." Zhang Rongfang said.
"Mr. Rongfang, is it true you’re from the Human Immortal Temple?" Meng Hui suddenly asked next to him.
"You knew?" Zhang Rongfang looked at him.
"Of course, we in the Yi Vein and the Human Immortal Temple don’t interfere with each other. I underestimated you, my apologies for before." Meng Hui cupped his fists and bowed.
"Are you Yi Vein... also leaving?" Zhang Rongfang asked.
The Human Immortal Temple and Confucianism actually mutually understood each other’s existence, but the Human Immortal Temple functioned in solitude, with most members engaging in secluded cultivation.
The Confucian Yi Vein remained completely hidden, members were elusive, the two never really collided or interacted.
"Indeed. Wherever the successor is, we will be. The recognized successor is the future hope." Meng Hui replied.
"The future, huh?" Zhang Rongfang abruptly felt a loss of interest.
It’s what his sister had hoped for, what she pursued.
He gently pinched Zhang Huanqing’s cheek.
"Leaving here is not a bad idea, it’s a place full of trouble; your uncle will visit you often. Don’t worry."
Xiaohuanqing: "Thank you..." He didn’t actually want his uncle to visit, but feeling the steel-like hand on his shoulder, he knew that if he didn’t speak properly, he would definitely receive a loving iron fist.
He could see it from his uncle’s eyes.
Originally, he thought his uncle was just an ordinary high-grade genius, but he had greatly underestimated his strength. Even Grandpa Meng was brushed aside without being able to stop him.
That is to say, his uncle might be even stronger than the super-grade Grandpa Meng!
At this moment, Xiaohuanqing had roughly calculated his uncle’s strength in his heart. He felt increasingly shocked and dared not move recklessly.
"Rongfang, you’re here!?" Suddenly, a voice was heard again from the courtyard gate.
Accompanied by two maidservants, Zhang Rongyu strode into the courtyard gate, showing surprise when she saw Zhang Rongfang. She hurriedly approached.
"How long has it been since you came?" She was still as gentle and beautiful as before; her worried voice was like a clear spring, making one feel a slight fondness just hearing the tone.
"It’s been a long time..." Zhang Rongfang nodded. At this moment, he had already learned about his sister’s current situation from the information networks of the Human Immortal Temple and the Reverse Chronicle Society.
Zhang Rongyu had now elevated herself by virtue of her motherhood, becoming a core figure of the Confucian Yi Vein. She somehow managed to connect the Yi Vein with the Academy.
It seems that the entire Confucian sect is brewing something now.
Even Dongfang Mu had left Wushan not long ago, reportedly to handle an important task.
The great scholars, the Academy, and the Seven Veins seemed to have reconciled overnight, starting to contact frequently.
"Did I do something wrong? Why have you taken so long to see me again?" Zhang Rongyu asked softly at this moment.
Her career was going smoothly, successfully integrating into the Spirit People aristocratic family, elevating her husband, and after completing this major event, she would also rise with the tide.
Even if she slightly provoked other enemies, it wouldn’t matter much compared to what she gained; this bit of effort was nothing.
"It’s just that I’m about to go out to handle something... came to see you before I leave." Zhang Rongfang smiled without answering.
This time, the Reverse Chronicle Society planned to truly initiate something from the Western Sect.
And he also planned to settle accounts with the Western Sect, the Spirit People aristocrats, formally establishing the Human Immortal Temple’s territorial power range.
This time is different from before, he wants the entire Wushan, including the surrounding territories and forces, to have only one voice.
"Are you leaving too?" Zhang Rongyu sighed. "We’ve been in Wushan for so long; indeed, we have some feelings. Once you leave, who knows how long it will be before you return?"
"There will be opportunities." Zhang Rongfang said, "I’m still leaving it here."
"Really? That’s great." Zhang Rongyu showed a smile. "Then let’s make an agreement to find a day to come back here together. Okay?"
She stretched out her finger.
"Of course." Zhang Rongfang smiled, also stretched out his finger, and hooked hers.
Zhang Rongyu moving was also due to the frequent activities of unruly armies in the Wushan Prefecture vicinity, with rapidly declining relations between the Seven Veins and the Righteous Alliance, possibly leading to a fight. So, under the orders of the Vein Master, she had to leave to avoid risks.
Unexpectedly, the root cause was the previous Reverse Chronicle Society action where a Spirit General and an Academy headmaster were killed, leading to significant losses for the Spirit People aristocracy and the Divine General royal forces.
Now, both sides are like raging flames, finally seizing the opportunity to truly fight.
The Seven Veins reconciled with the Academy, and now, to show sincerity, formally joined the Academy camp, collectively resisting the impending pressure from the Reverse Chronicle Society.
Casually chatting with his sister, Zhang Rongfang suddenly felt as if he couldn’t return to the past.
While talking, both gradually fell silent.
"I came over this time to give you this." Zhang Rongfang took out a black ink jade pendant and handed it to Zhang Rongyu.
"I also have something for you..." Zhang Rongyu was also startled, took out a gray-white irregular small stone with a complex traditional character engraved on it from her sleeve.
It was a character for Yi (义).
"You must remember to carry it with you; I managed to get this with great difficulty. It can protect your life at crucial moments!" Zhang Rongyu seriously instructed, handing the small stone over.
"This of mine is the same, carry it carefully, don’t lose it. If luck is on your side, it might save your life at crucial times." Zhang Rongfang also said seriously.
The two exchanged items, looking at each other unwittingly.
"Sister. I hope you won’t regret it." Zhang Rongfang said. This time, the Reverse Chronicle Society’s action, he had a premonition, might involve his sister, so the jade pendant stored a drop of his blood. It could allow all bloodlines to avoid where the jade pendant is.
"No matter what, this is what I want. I, and Huanqing, won’t regret it in the future either!" Zhang Rongyu replied earnestly. This time, the Seven Veins’ Vein Master joined forces with the Academy, and the Seven Sages Sword was wielded, and that token was a mark to avoid the sword’s offensive.
Zhang Rongfang took a deep look at her, turned, and left.
Watching her brother leave, Zhang Rongyu’s smile gradually faded.
"He... has really grown up..."
"Lady Yu, your brother..." Meng Hui whispered beside. "He should be from the Human Immortal Temple. The Human Immortal Temple might also participate in the action this time."
"Yes." Zhang Rongyu gently nodded, "I guessed it a long time ago... but what can I do?"
This conflict is bound to be brief and comprehensive.
All she can do is obtain a token for her brother that immunizes against the sword’s momentum.
To prevent losing his life in a wide-scale battle.
That’s all there is.
"It’s time to depart, Madam, within ten days you must take the successor to reach the destination." One of the maidservants behind Zhang Rongyu suddenly spoke.
"Mm, I understand." Zhang Rongyu nodded.
