"Brother Wang, are you wondering why we saved you?" Zhang Xuan said with a slight smile.
"Indeed," Wang Yi replied directly without hesitation.
"Let's not discuss that for now; you will know in due time. Brother Wang, you have just woken up, so it's best to rest for now. We can talk tomorrow," Zhang Xuan said.
"What about Sun Meng?" Wang Yi asked after a moment of silence, noticing that Zhang Xuan had chosen not to bring it up again.
"He is injured more severely than you and is still unconscious. However, I have given him the Healing Elixir, so I believe he will wake up soon," Zhang Xuan replied.
Wang Yi nodded and said, "In that case, please take your leave."
Zhang Xuan and his brother exchanged a glance and exited the room.
Wang Yi looked at the closed door, reached out to rub his temples, feeling troubled. Originally, he had successfully infiltrated Heimu Mountain to avenge his Uncles, and everything was going smoothly. Who would have thought that Heimu Mountain would be overturned by some powerful force? Given their strength, Heimu Mountain must have been completely destroyed by now!
Sighing deeply, he realized that only a few days had passed since descending the mountain, yet so much had happened. He still didn't know how Niu Meng was doing, and now he found himself trapped in a deadly situation. Whether he could escape Rong City was uncertain.
Looking up at the ceiling, he thought about strength—powerful strength! In this world, without formidable power, there was only one path: death.
He resolved that since Zhang Xuan had saved him, they must have ulterior motives. Once he escaped Rong City, he would immediately head to Yong City to find Li Yuyan and Sun Er Gou. Based on previous events, they should no longer be wary of him. As long as he kept his heart with her, he could locate Li Kaishan and gain his trust to eliminate him!
Uncle's Revenge must not go unpunished!
After the night battle, Wang Yi finally had a rough estimate of his own strength. The black-clad man from the Earth Spirit Realm at Sevenfold was not his match; however, an ordinary Fivefold Martial Artist could be killed by him. But those like Heber Fu, who practiced high-level Martial Arts, were unexpected threats. It seemed he could fight against Sixfold opponents but was unsure if he could kill them. As for Threefold Martial Artists, they could be ignored entirely.
Cloud Manipulation Palm!
If he wants to improve this palm technique, it is quite complex. However, Wang Yi urgently needs to do so, feeling confident that as long as the improvement is successful, his strength will increase by a third. When he faces Heber Fu again, he won't be defeated as miserably as before.
Wang Yi took off his shoes, sat cross-legged on the bed, and slowly closed his eyes, immersing his entire mind in the mysteries of the Cloud Manipulation Palm.
Su Family.
"Investigate! Find Wang Yi for me!" Su Hai slammed his palm on the table, his face dark. "He is still in the city; we can definitely find him."
"Brother, the only ones who could mobilize such power are the Sun and Zhang families. I believe it must be one of either Heber Fu or Zhang Xuan who did this," Su Ming said with a grim expression. It was frustrating that after finally getting the plan into action, someone like Chen Yaojin appeared out of nowhere.
"Second brother must be cautious. But we have no evidence now; if we act rashly, we will surely anger both families," Su Hai pondered for a moment and instructed, "You two immediately split into two groups to monitor the Sun and Zhang families. Once you find Wang Yi, notify us immediately."
"Understood." The two Earth Spirit Realm Martial Artists bowed respectfully.
"You must handle this well and not let the family head know. After it's done, I will reward you handsomely," Su Ming added.
The two Earth Spirit Realm Martial Artists nodded in unison and withdrew respectfully.
"Second brother, do you think we will succeed this time? Let the He Family have no place to bury their dead," Su Hai asked with a frown.
"Brother, remain calm. As long as Wang Yi is still in the city, there is still a chance for success," Su Ming replied. "As long as we secretly kill Wang Yi, we can pin this incident on the Sun Family. At that time, Kaiyang Sect will surely seek out the Sun Family. Then I can marry Zhang Wanyou, and from now on, Rong City will belong to my Su Family."
"This matter rests on you, second brother. Once I ascend to the position of family head, I will not treat you poorly," Su Hai said as he stood up and patted Su Ming's shoulder with a smile.
"Thank you, brother. I will do my utmost to assist you in establishing our Su Family's dominance," Su Ming replied respectfully...
A night without further discussion.
The next day, at the Zhang Family.
A maid arrived at the room where Wang Yi was, knocking on the door.
After a while, a clear voice came from inside, saying, "Come in."
The maid pushed the door open and saw that Wang Yi had already gotten up. She respectfully said, "Greetings, Young Master Wang. The Young Master has instructed me to take you to the hall."
Wang Yi was radiant and waved his hand, saying, "Please lead the way, Miss."
Seeing Wang Yi being so polite, the maid felt flustered. Noticing that he did not blame her, she confirmed that this young master was indeed very kind.
Wang Yi smiled lightly; how could he not see what the maid was thinking?
Before long, Wang Yi followed the maid to the living room.
He saw Zhang Xuan and his siblings sitting at the lower seats, while an Azure Robe middle-aged man sat at the upper seat. He had a scruffy beard and an ordinary appearance, but his eyes were bright and occasionally flashed with brilliance. It was evident that he was a person of considerable wisdom. His posture was upright, exuding an imposing aura that commanded respect without anger; one could easily tell that he was a person who held great power over life and death.
"Wang brother, come here. Let me introduce you; this is my father, Zhang Liang," Zhang Xuan gestured towards the Azure Robe man.
"Zai Wang Yi, greetings to the Zhang Family Head," Wang Yi said calmly. However, he was shocked inside. Although this man appeared calm, he emanated a powerful aura that one would only find in formidable figures like Li Jianren and the other three elders. He then slightly bowed in respect.
"You are Wang Yi?" Zhang Liang looked Wang Yi up and down and said with slight admiration, "No wonder you were able to defeat Lin Haojian and make a three-year agreement with Lin Wanfeng; you are indeed extraordinary."
"What? Father, do you know Wang brother?" Zhang Xuan exclaimed in surprise. "What is this about Wang brother defeating Lin Haojian of Wen Cang Sect and making an agreement with Lin Wanfeng?"
Zhang Tai and Zhang Wanyou also looked surprised; they did not expect their father to know Wang Yi.
"Well, I will give it to you." Zhang Liang stroked his beard and smiled. "The Kaiyang Sect has the Kaiyang Four Disciples, and the Wen Cang Sect has the Wen Cang Three Heroes, but what you do not know is that there is one more person. This person defeated Lin Haojian during the mountain worship ceremony at the Wen Cang Sect and made a three-year agreement with Lin Haojian's older brother, Lin Wanfeng, who is the first disciple of the Inner Sect of Wen Cang Sect. This person is none other than Wang Yi standing before you!" After finishing, Zhang Liang looked at Wang Yi and smiled slightly.
"Zhang Family Head, you flatter me," Wang Yi said.
Ah!
Zhang Xuan and his siblings were all taken aback, not expecting Wang Yi to have such a great reputation. They also understood why he was able to defeat them and compete with Heber Fu.
"I see now, Brother Wang, you truly are hiding your talents!" Zhang Xuan exclaimed in surprise.
"Let's put this aside for now. What I want to know is why you saved me?" Wang Yi asked.
"Brother Wang, please don't be anxious. Let's sit down and talk first," Zhang Xuan replied with a smile.
"Wang Xianzi, I am already aware of your matters with the Su Hai Brothers," Zhang Liang said with a smile. "I can help you leave Rong City safely."
"What do I need to do?" Wang Yi asked directly, already understanding that Zhang Xuan had ulterior motives for saving him.
"A smart person is indeed a smart person; straightforward enough," Zhang Liang said without getting angry, still wearing a smile. "The Zhang Family indeed needs your assistance."
"Brother Zhang has saved my life; as long as it is within my ability, I cannot refuse!" Wang Yi replied.
"In fact, it is not a big deal; all you need to do is become my son-in-law," Zhang Liang said with a grin.
"I truly do not understand what you mean, Zhang Family Head," Wang Yi was taken aback for a moment and exclaimed in surprise. He looked at Zhang Wanyou sitting across from him and saw that she was wearing a bright red dress from the Lotus Group, with a blue ribbon tied around her waist. Her three thousand strands of hair were styled high, and her graceful figure was faintly visible beneath the skirt. Her skin was fair as snow, her bright eyes and white teeth shone like stars, and her willow-like brows hinted at her stunning beauty. It was no wonder that Su Ming was infatuated with her.
Although Wang Yi only glanced at Zhang Wanyou once, her jade-like cheeks flushed with two shades of red. She nervously fiddled with the corner of her dress and lowered her head in silence. Seeing this, Wang Yi guessed that she must have already known about this matter.
"Wang Xianzi, please take a seat. Let me explain slowly." Zhang Liang smiled slightly upon seeing Wang Yi's expression and said, "In a few days, it will be the Three Clans Competition in Rong City. The Zhang Family has previously agreed with the head of the Su Family, Su Zhe, that if Zhang Xuan and Zhang Tai lose to the Su Hai Brothers in the competition, they will betroth a daughter to Su Zhe's son, Su Ming."
"Is this related to your daughter?" Wang Yi asked with a frown.
"However, my daughter is unwilling to marry Su Ming," Zhang Liang said affectionately as he glanced at Zhang Wanyou, sighing deeply. "I also know that Su Ming is not a good person. It pains me to see her being forced to marry such a man."
"Therefore, I would like you, Wang Xianzi, to represent the Zhang Family in the competition and defeat the Su Hai Brothers. This way, my daughter won't have to marry Su Ming," Zhang Liang continued.
"Forgive my rudeness, but Xiangzhou Prefecture is so vast. Why would you choose me, Head of the Zhang Family? Moreover, Heber Fu is much stronger than I am. With his strength, defeating the Su Hai Brothers should be easy," Wang Yi asked.
"Well... I did have that plan initially, but the He Family's son is obsessed with martial arts and is completely devoted to it. My daughter truly does not wish to marry someone so wooden-headed," Zhang Liang said with a bitter smile. "Furthermore, although Xiangzhou Prefecture is large, the Su Hai Brothers are quite powerful. It is really difficult to find someone like that in a short time. Besides, the Su Family is wealthy and influential; ordinary families do not dare to provoke them!"
"I know this matter is difficult for you, Wang Xianzi, but I assure you that your relationship with my daughter is merely temporary. After the competition ends, you can treat it as a joke," Zhang Liang said quickly upon seeing Wang Yi's troubled expression.
"Father, if Young Master Wang does not agree, then it's fine; I will accept it..." Zhang Wanyou said as she saw Wang Yi struggling to make a decision. Biting her silver teeth, she stood up and suddenly felt hazy before her eyes; her eyes turned red. Seeing her delicate appearance resembling a weeping willow, Wang Yi thought it was just an act. Gritting his teeth, he finally said, "Alright."
"Good, good! That's wonderful!" Zhang Liang clapped his hands in delight and said, "Wang Xianzi, rest assured that after the competition ends, I will personally escort you out of Rong City. The Su Hai Brothers won't be able to touch you at all." After a pause, he continued, "From now on, you will participate in the competition as my Zhang Family's son-in-law. This way, it will save us from much gossip."
