Patriarch Zhou was sitting in the front hall with a smile on his face.
Lin Li came to Qingyun City to collect materials, but immediately came to the Zhou family to ask for help. Obviously, he didn't see anyone else and regarded the Zhou family as someone close to him.
"I did not do anything wrong when I brought Brother Lin into the city. Ever since I learned about Brother Lin's potential, I have treated him sincerely, and I have been rewarded. From now on, my Zhou family can be considered a member of the Qingyun Sect."
Patriarch Zhou felt so happy that he picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
"There's just one drawback. Although Brother Lin and Shan'er have a good relationship, it's still very early for them to talk about marriage. Brother Lin has both good character and abilities. It would be perfect if the two of them could get married!"
But at this moment, a guard ran in in a panic, shouting, "It's not good, it's not good."
Patriarch Zhou frowned and was very dissatisfied with the guard's panic. But when he saw a trace of blood hanging from the corner of the guard's mouth, he immediately stood up in shock and shouted: "What happened?"
"Clan leader, it's not good. People from the Zhang family have invaded the house." The guard said hurriedly.
"What a panic! Tell me clearly. You said the Zhang family called in. How many people came and who were they?" Patriarch Zhou's heart skipped a beat and he asked hurriedly.
"Almost all the top leaders of the Zhang family are here, including the head of the Zhang family, Zhang Feng of the Qingyun Sect, and some other high-level officials from the side branches."
"What? Zhang personally leads the team?"
Clan Chief Zhou was shocked. He forced himself to calm down and ordered the guard: "Go and summon the masters of the clan. I'll go and take a look. What exactly is Zhang going to do?"
As soon as Patriarch Zhou walked out of the front hall, he encountered a menacing group of people, more than twenty people in total, who had arrived at the square in front of the front hall.
"Zhang, you forced your way into my Zhou family and injured the guards. What on earth do you want? Do you really think that I, Zhou Guang, are a fool? Do you want the Zhou and Zhang families to start an all-out war?" Patriarch Zhou was furious.
, asked directly.
"Hey, don't be angry, Chief Zhou. I'm not here to start a war with you, but to celebrate something happy." A man from Zhongnan with a stern look on the opposite side smiled and said tepidly.
"A happy event? You brought people into my home and injured the guard. You still call it a happy event? What a joke!" Patriarch Zhou sneered.
"Clan Chief Zhou, please don't be angry. Two months ago, my son Zhang Feng came to propose marriage, but you rejected him. This time Feng'er happened to come back from Qingyun Sect for business, so I took him to propose marriage in person. Feng'er is a dignified Qingyun.
He is a disciple, and the Zhang and Zhou families are well-matched, so shouldn’t Patriarch Zhou object?” Patriarch Zhang, a stern man, said.
"Zhang, don't even think about it. It's impossible for Shan'er to enter the Zhang family! Hehe, you are so embarrassed to come. Didn't you go back and tell Zhang Feng what kind of blow he received last time?"
Patriarch Zhou sneered: "It was in this courtyard at my feet that Zhang Feng and two other Scarlet Crystal Peak disciples joined forces and were easily defeated by a little brother I knew, and finally left in shame. Zhang Feng, do you have the nerve to come back?"
Zhang Feng heard the mocking words of the Zhou clan leader and said angrily: "Clan clan leader Zhou, you don't know what is good and what is good. I know that you are relying on that man named Lin to support you, but you don't understand the situation of Qingyun Sect at all.
The outer disciples who have just entered the Qingyun Sect will have to do chores for several years. Without special reasons, they are not allowed to leave the sect. Therefore, you can't count on the person named Lin. Besides, the person named Lin may have already seen the Zhou family.
After entering the Qingyun Sect, who will still remember a family that has nothing to do with it?"
"Hehe!" Chief Zhou sneered without saying anything.
Patriarch Zhang mistakenly thought that Patriarch Zhou was poor in words, so he said: "You have heard what Feng'er said. Now that my Zhang family is powerful, it is better to merge the two families into one, so that we can be more powerful in Qingyun City."
"Stop talking nonsense, you go back." Clan Chief Zhou said directly without any hesitation.
A cold light flashed in Patriarch Zhang's eyes, and he threatened: "Zhou Guang, are you going to drink wine as a fine if you don't eat the toast? I'll give you two choices, either marry your daughter or move out of Qingyun City, what do you choose?"
"Zhang, you are too crazy. You asked me to move out of Qingyun City, but you still can't do it. Although my Zhou family is weaker, it is not to the point where I can be manipulated by you." Patriarch Zhou was furious.
"Clan Leader Zhou, do you still remember what I said last time? As a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, I have many ways to bring down the Zhou family. It's better to believe it, Clan Leader Zhou. Don't count on Lin, he won't be able to leave the sect in a short time.
, let alone reflect the matter to the sect." Zhang Feng destroyed the confidence of the Zhou clan leader.
"Really? But I've already seen him." Clan Leader Zhou smiled half-heartedly and stepped aside slightly, exposing Lin Li to everyone's sight. Just now, his eyes caught a glimpse of Lin Li walking over.
Others had never seen Lin Li, so they naturally had no reaction. However, Zhang Feng's eyes widened and he shouted: "It's you! How is it possible? Why are you here?"
"You can show up, why can't I?"
Lin Li said jokingly: "But I am different from you. You gave up the opportunity to practice and were willing to be a chore disciple running errands. But I will not delay my practice for these things. Why, I haven't seen you for two months, Zhang Feng
You still haven't made any progress, and you're still doing the business of forced marriage."
Lin Li was right, Zhang Feng was too utilitarian. Since he had the opportunity to enter Qingyun Sect, he didn't want to work hard to practice. Instead, he was willing to do a chore of collecting materials and use convenience to help the family, although it would allow the family to gain more benefits.
, but it has delayed the golden opportunity for cultivation, which is a manifestation of neglecting the fundamental and pursuing the inferior.
"Is this the Lin Li you mentioned, the one who just entered Qingyun Sect?" Patriarch Zhang asked in a low voice.
Seeing Zhang Feng gently nodding, Patriarch Zhang couldn't help but take a breath of air. Isn't this man too young? He is a disciple of the Qingyun Sect at such a young age, so it's better not to provoke him as much as possible.
"This little brother, as far as I know, you are not related to the Zhou family, so why do you need to be so protective? Why don't you come to my Zhang family and sit down for a while? I admire the disciples of the Qingyun Sect very much." Patriarch Zhang changed.
He put on a smile and said kindly to Lin Li.
"I don't want to have any hatred with the Zhang family either."
Lin Li said: "But Clan Chief Zhou treats me well, and I can't just sit idly by. As long as Clan Chief Zhang doesn't use the Qingyun Sect's connections to suppress the Zhou family, I don't care how you fight in private. But if Clan Chief Zhang insists on taking advantage of it,
The Qingyun Sect’s relationship is oppressing the Zhou family, so I will report the situation to the top of the sect and let them make a decision.”
"Lin, do you have to embarrass me?" Zhang Feng shouted angrily after hearing Lin Li's words.
"I don't make things difficult for anyone. I only stand on the side of justice. The Qingyun Sect is a righteous sect. I will not watch you use your status as a disciple of the Qingyun Sect to bully the Zhou family and smear the Qingyun Sect." Lin Li said to himself.
Put gold on your face.
"Hmph! What you said is quite impressive. Those who don't know may think you are a senior disciple. Don't think we don't know. You are just a disciple of Qingyun Sect's weakest peak.
Jingfeng is far behind. The peak master of Xiaozhu Peak has nothing to do and doesn't care about his subordinates, so he has no status at all."
At this moment, a young member of the Zhang family spoke. From what he called Zhang Feng, it seemed that he was a member of the Zhang family. Such young and ignorant people have no idea that the sky is high and the earth is high.
No obstruction.
The young disciple made no secret of his disdain for Lin Li, "What future can you have by entering such a peak? You are still just a waste. The waste-like Yifeng accepts waste-like disciples!"
"What are you talking about? How dare you, a young member of the Zhang family, to despise one of the five main peaks of the Qingyun Sect like this? Who gave you the courage?"
Lin Li's eyes were cold. Even if they were more than ten meters apart, the young disciple felt a chill all over his body. Lin Li then turned his gaze to Zhang Feng and said, "Well, Zhang Feng, you actually told the family members about the situation of Qingyun Sect in such detail.
And you despise my Xiaozhufeng lineage, who gave you the courage? I am going to punish the person who spoke now, I hope you have some sense and don't stop me."
