Zhang family residence…
The second house in the eastern part of the city…
It was cool in the early morning. The birds were singing, and the flowers smelled fragrant.
This was the courtyard belonging to Zhang Xinxiong, which was very large and luxurious.
Those who could come in and out of the place were his maidservants, in addition to Zhang Xinxiong, the master of this courtyard.
“It’s been three days.”
He Yuxing couldn’t help but speak as he looked at the black-skirted woman sitting in the pavilion. He turned his head toward the rising sun.
It was the third day since they came to the Zhang family’s residence. They spent all three days there.
They didn’t even have a place to rest.
Although the two of them did not need a resting place, it was problematic for the Zhang family to treat two of the 33 people from the Inner Yard of Tiansang Spirit Palace in such a manner.
Just because…
The maidservant?
Lan Xinzi raised her chin and asked gently, “Can’t you wait any longer?”
“It’s not that I can’t wait any longer.”
He Yuxing shook his head and said, “My will can’t be demolished in three days.”
“Not to mention three days, I can wait for three years or 30 years!”
“As long as…”
He gazed at Lan Xinzi, but he could only see her pretty profile. He couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
“As long as I get up, this Zhang family, which dares to treat you like this, has no value to exist anymore.”
Lan Xinzi curled up the corners of her mouth and lowered her head with a smile. He Yuxing was mesmerized by the scene.
“Let’s go!”
The black-skirted woman suddenly got up and looked toward the east. The east had just woken up. The sky and earth were in the broad daylight as soon as she stood up.
“Where to?” He Yuxing asked.
“After having waited for three days, where do you think we can go? We can’t just go home.”
“Has the old man, Zhang Taiying, agreed to see you?”
He Yuxing was a little surprised. He looked around and didn’t find any commotion or sense any trace of Sword Will or spiritual senses.
How had Lan Xinzi learned the news?
“It’s just a mind transmission between a master and a servant.”
The black-skirted woman spoke in a low voice. She seemed to have figured out his thoughts and walked out of the courtyard.
As He Yuxing was about to follow her, he heard the woman in front of him say, “Wait for me here. Don’t go anywhere.”
“Wait here?”
He Yuxing paused, but he didn’t feel at ease.
At the bottom of his heart, the thing he hated the most was waiting.
He moved his feet.
“Wait for me!”
The unquestionable voice rang out again. He Yuxing took a deep breath and finally stood still, watching Lan Xinzi leave.
“Wait…”
A flash of mockery appeared on his face and soon disappeared. At the moment, he had the most determined expression on his face.
He Yuxing sat down and knocked on the table with his hand. His eyes had a burning blaze in them.
“Wait!”
…
The main hall of the Zhang family…
Sitting at the head seat with the golden scales was an extremely tall man dressed in flamboyant clothes. He had a pair of horrific eyes.
His right arm was broken at the shoulder. However, his temperament was as strong as a giant when he sat at the head seat.
His terrifying aura was powerful enough to crush everything and could make everyone lay on the ground.
“How are the preparations for the night banquet at the city lord’s mansion?”
Zhang Taiying rested against the back of the chair with his eyes closed, looking slightly lethargic.
The caretaker of the house approached with his body hunched and hurriedly said, “All have been prepared properly, and the sole scroll of the Heavenly Mechanics, which was specially requested for City Lord Fu, has also been obtained. Thus, the plan has been carried out perfectly this time.”
“In addition, the Zhang family has been flourishing in recent years, so we will be able to get more White Cave quotas this time.”
“It may even be possible to get double digits quotas!”
