Just as he was thinking about it, Yuan Hong had already brought Zhang Yifeng to the Yuan family's residence.
Before the two of them could step forward, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the gate of the mansion, and then a figure walked out from behind the door.
Zhang Yifeng raised his eyes and looked up, with a flash of astonishment in his eyes. The appearance of the person who came was exactly the same as that of the eldest young master of the Yuan family who he killed.
Even the aura on the other party's body was exactly the same as that of the eldest young master of the Yuan family. If Zhang Yifeng hadn't confirmed that the guy had been killed by him, he would have thought it was genuine.
Behind this counterfeit were two old men, who also had the same appearance as the two Yuan family priests who were killed in the dense forest that day.
Zhang Yifeng frowned in his heart, but there was no reaction on his face. Yuan Hong's eyes lit up when he saw this.
"Young Master, Young Master!"
Yuan Hong walked forward quickly with some excitement and stopped the young master who was about to leave the Yuan family's mansion.
"Huh? It's Yuan Hong. What can I do for you?"
When the eldest young master of the Yuan family saw Yuan Hong coming, he was stunned for a moment and seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he called out Yuan Hong's name.
Yuan Hong was anxious to introduce the young master to Zhang Yifeng, but did not notice this trivial omission.
On the contrary, Zhang Yifeng, who was on the side, clearly saw the embarrassment of the fake young master of the Yuan family just now, and became even more convinced of his identity as a fake.
"Young Master, this is an adult from the Yanlong Sect and a disciple of Elder Chi."
Yuan Hong approached the eldest young master of the Yuan family and whispered in his ear.
The eldest young master of the Yuan family suddenly changed his face when he heard this. He raised his head and took a deep look at Zhang Yifeng, with a light of unknown meaning in his eyes.
"Elder Chi's disciple... I never expected that such a person would come back to our Yuan family. It's such an honor."
The eldest young master of the Yuan family quickly stopped the strange light in his eyes and turned to Zhang Yifeng with a smile.
"Excuse me. I think the eldest young master is also a good person among men. If the Yuan family has such a talented person as the eldest young master, he will definitely be able to secure the throne of the first family."
Zhang Yifeng also responded with a smile. The eldest young master of the Yuan family suddenly changed the subject and asked Zhang Yifeng.
"I just don't know why you came to my Yuan house?"
"I accepted a mission within the sect and came to the Yuan family specifically to help find the missing side house lady."
When he heard that Zhang Yifeng was here to investigate the missing young lady from the side house, the eldest young master of the Yuan family paused and felt relieved in an instant.
"Oh~ I see, I have some important matters to deal with, so I won't accompany you."
"But if you need any help, you can send someone to me at any time. I will do my best to help you solve the case."
The eldest young master of the Yuan family bowed respectfully to Zhang Yifeng, and immediately left with the two worshipers behind him.
Looking at the leaving figure of the eldest young master of the Yuan family, Zhang Yifeng showed a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Sir, do you want me to go in and help you to see the head of the family?"
Yuan Hong asked Zhang Yifeng cautiously, but Zhang Yifeng waved his hand.
"No, I can go there myself. Don't you still have the task of guarding the city gate? Go back as soon as possible."
After Zhang Yifeng finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the Yuan family's mansion regardless of Yuan Hong's reaction.
The monks of the Yuan family who were guarding the door of the mansion did not dare to stop Zhang Yifeng when he saw that he was wearing the attire of an inner disciple of the Yanlong Sect.
Not to mention that their eldest young master had treated Zhang Yifeng with respect just now, and they didn't even dare to cross-examine him.
"May I ask if the head of the Yuan family is here?"
Zhang Yifeng passed by two Yuan family monks who were guarding the door of the mansion and asked them in a low voice.
"Yes, yes, sir, if you want to find the head of the family, just go to the study room."
The two Yuan family monks replied in a respectful tone, fearing that their slow reply would anger Zhang Yifeng.
"Haha, I'm not a savage beast, you two don't need to be so panicked."
Zhang Yifeng smiled slightly, bowed his hands to the two of them, turned around and walked into the mansion.
Seeing that Zhang Yifeng had directly asked him to go back to guard the city gate, Yuan Hong did not dare to say anything, so she could only turn around and leave angrily.
When the Yuan family's mansion returned to calm, a pair of cold eyes at the corner stared straight at the door of the Yuan family's mansion.
"Sir, it seems that there are some changes in the plan. The arrival of that boy seems to disrupt your plan."
"Don't worry, I think this guy is quite interesting. Besides, he may have already seen some clues about my identity."
At the corner of the alley, the eldest young master of the Yuan family said to the two worshipers beside him in a very calm tone.
"Sir, do you need us to go?"
One of the worshipers said coldly, stretched out his hand and made a gesture on his neck, with murderous intent emanating from his eyes.
"Don't rush to take action. This kid has a special status. This is the first time I've heard that Elder Chi actually accepts disciples."
"No matter what, he is the disciple of Elder Chi. If we kill him, we will only become enemies with him, which will be detrimental to our plan."
The eldest young master of the Yuan family, who was respected as the master, said with narrowed eyes, recalling Zhang Yifeng's childish appearance in his mind, and couldn't help but touch his smooth chin.
"Let's wait and see what happens. I would like to see if he can find this non-existent side wife."
After saying this, the eldest young master of the Yuan family sneered, and his figure gradually disappeared into the shadows behind him.
The two worshipers looked at each other, bowed their heads and also disappeared into the darkness under the wall.
In the Yuan family's mansion, Zhang Yifeng learned the location of the family master's study from a minor.
Arriving at the study door, the study door opened automatically without waiting for Zhang Yifeng to knock on the door.
Knowing that the head of the Yuan family was letting him in, Zhang Yifeng was not afraid at all and stepped forward into the study.
In the study, the head of the Yuan family sat behind the desk with his eyes closed, looking like he was meditating.
After a while, the head of the Yuan family finally opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Yifeng standing in front of him.
"Having met Elder Chi's disciple, Yuan Tianfang of the Yuan family has come to welcome him from afar."
Yuan Tianfang stood up and bowed respectfully to Zhang Yifeng. Zhang Yifeng's face suddenly showed a flattered look.
"Master Yuan, what do you mean by this? I am just a young man who has just been promoted to the inner sect. How can I accept such a great gift from my senior?"
Zhang Yifeng waved his hands in panic and said, but Yuan Tianfang looked calm.
"Elder Chi is much higher in seniority than me. Since I am a disciple of Elder Chi, it is only natural that my status should be higher than mine."
"Let's not talk about this for now. I wonder... Sir, did you really come to my Yuan house to investigate the matter of my little girl?"
Yuan Tianfang pretended to be calm and asked Zhang Yifeng, with a hint of probing in his words.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yifeng knew in his heart that Yuan Tianfang was afraid of him and was not here for this apparent mission.
Instead, he was entrusted by Elder Chi to secretly investigate whether the Yuan family had done anything secretly.
She smiled disdainfully in her heart, but a look of confusion appeared on Zhang Yifeng's face.
