Chapter 71 -71 Stealing
Zheng Fa felt that he should apologize to Seventh Young Master.
Although this person often spoke rudely and made many enemies, it was a very objective and reasonable guess that someone would come to beat him up.
But this time, it was Zheng Fa who had misunderstood.
The Chen Family people really weren’t coming to trouble the Seventh Young Master.
Seventh Young Master also seemed to think that Zheng Fa’s misunderstanding was reasonable, and even felt somewhat angry that no one had come to bother him.
“I waited for them for a whole day!” expressed the Seventh Young Master, who had been on guard yesterday, with dissatisfaction: “They actually didn’t come looking for me, are they looking down on me!”
“Do you have any feud with those people from the Chen Family?” Zheng Fa was a bit curious.
“No feud.
It’s just that…
their family is too prolific.
When the brothers meet, they glare at each other like fighting roosters, not only competing in their own home but also wanting to pull me into their schemes.”
Zheng Fa nodded in understanding; not every Young Master from a great family has it as easy as the Seventh Young Master, where everything has the backing of their lady.
“But if they are trying to woo you, Young Master, how could you be in conflict with them?”
This was what Zheng Fa couldn’t comprehend.
“Think I’m a fool?” snorted Seventh Young Master: “These people don’t really want to befriend me, they just want to use me as a pawn!
I agreed to all of them because I wanted to watch the fun, and then…”
Zheng Fa looked at Seventh Young Master whose voice suddenly lowered.
“I secretly fanned the flames…”
“And then you were discovered?” Zheng Fa guessed.
Seventh Young Master nodded.
“Speaking of which, the Chen Family people actually came looking for Master Zhang.” Seemingly embarrassed by his own foiled instigation, Seventh Young Master quickly changed the subject: “They said a Jiushan Sect disciple has arrived in Jingzhou State City and is staying with the Chen Family.
Yesterday, the Chen Family came to our residence to send a visiting card on his behalf.”
“Master Zhang?”
A bad premonition rose in Zheng Fa’s heart.
“I think they are here to snatch your Immortal Item command!
Hurry, let’s go have a look!” Seventh Young Master seemed to have thought of the same thing, and hurriedly dragged Zheng Fa along.
When they arrived at the entrance of Master Zhang’s courtyard, they indeed saw a group of people standing outside, waiting to be summoned by Master Zhang.
The one at the front was a white-clad young man, around twenty-four or twenty-five years old, tall and upright, surrounded by a crowd in the middle and displaying a somewhat superior demeanor when speaking to others—the probably Jiushan Sect disciple from the Immortal Sect.
The people surrounding him also seemed to be extraordinary figures, their clothing and appearance very wealthy.
However, there seemed to be some discord among them, especially in front of this Immortal Sect disciple, as if they were competing to flatter him.
It appeared that these were the very Young Masters from the Chen Family that Seventh Young Master had mentioned.
Seventh Young Master’s remark about the discord in their family was quite evident from these few people.
That group also noticed Zheng Fa and Seventh Young Master, mainly recognizing Seventh Young Master.
In the moment they recognized Seventh Young Master, the previously contentious Chen Family members instantly changed their expressions—unifying against a common enemy.
Regardless of what unforgivable thing Seventh Young Master had done, Zheng Fa felt that the Chen Family Head should at least apologize to Seventh Young Master—it seemed that the unity of the next generation of the Chen Family all depended on Seventh Young Master.
…
Zhang soon let them in, and even after seeing Zheng Fa and Seventh Young Master, her expression didn’t change much, as if she had anticipated their arrival.
The Jiushan Sect disciple immediately performed a respectful salute upon seeing Zhang.
“Sun Daoyu pays his respects to Master Zhang.”
Compared to the arrogance he showed in front of the Chen Family, this Sun Daoyu was extremely respectful in front of Zhang.
“Disciple Sun, you may dispense with the formalities,” Zhang raised her hand and directly asked, “Disciple Sun, you have come all the way from the Jiushan Sect to seek me, what matter brings you here?”
“This…” Sun Daoyu glanced at the others around him, mainly at Zheng Fa and his companion, as if he felt it was inappropriate to speak in front of others.
But Zhang just looked at him and did not ask the others to leave.
Sun Daoyu had no choice but to say, “I heard that Sister Zhang has an Immortal Item token in her possession and have come to request it.”
Zhang nodded her head, seemingly unsurprised, yet she did not verbally agree.
Seeing her silent, Sun Daoyu cupped his hands towards the sky and continued, “This is not a personal request, but one my master Master Pang has sent me to make.”
Zhang’s expression became much more serious, and she sat up straight: “Master Pang?”
Clearly, this Master Pang demanded her careful consideration.
“Yes, my master had been wandering around recently and encountered a youngster with outstanding talent in talismanic Dao.
On a whim, he taught him talismanic magic for a while and even thought of taking him as a disciple.”
“But Sister Zhang, you must know that these days, even Nascent Soul cultivators can’t simply take disciples.
He heard that Master Zhang might have an extra Immortal Item token, thus sending me to request it.”
This sounds very familiar…
Someone is stealing my character setup!
No, that’s the real deal; it seems like I’m the one stealing…
Zheng Fa felt something strange in his heart, and when he looked up, he saw that Zhang was also giving him a peculiar look, as if to ask: Is it you?
But Zheng Fa also understood that this Master Pang was probably indeed a Nascent Soul cultivator; no wonder Zhang became much more cautious upon hearing his name.
Zhang looked at Zheng Fa for a long time but couldn’t help asking, “What is this person’s name?”
Sun Daoyu, puzzled, answered, “This junior?
His name is Zhou Qianyuan.”
Seeing Zhang’s expression, Sun Daoyu seemed to misunderstand, thinking that she did not believe his words.
“Sister Zhang, my master said, this junior, who has not yet been formally accepted, not only has exceptional talent in the talismanic Dao but also has a Geng Metal Dao Body and a gold-element Single Spirit Root.
When it comes to talent, he is hardly inferior to you, Sister Zhang.”
Hearing this, Zheng Fa understood why even a Nascent Soul cultivator would specifically send a disciple to request an Immortal Item token for this person.
A Taoist Body plus a Single Spirit Root.
And excellent talent in talismanic Dao.
Zhang was also nodding, “Sounds good, but doesn’t Master Pang have an Immortal Item token of his own?”
“Sister Zhang might not be aware, but my master not only has his own family but also many disciples and followers; the Immortal Item token has long been promised away.
Even other Nascent Souls have already given their tokens to someone, only Sister Zhang you are devoted to the Tao…”
Zheng Fa mentally translated this for Sun Daoyu:
High EQ: Devoted to the Tao.
Low EQ: Has no friends.
Seeing that Zhang still did not speak, Sun Daoyu gritted his teeth and said, “If Master Zhang has any demands, you can just state them directly.
I shall report to my master, and we will surely satisfy Sister Zhang.”
“I’m not saying I won’t agree…” Zhang shook her head, explaining, “It’s just that my Immortal Item token has also been given away.”
“Given away?” Sun Daoyu’s face showed astonishment, he obviously had not anticipated this situation, and there was even a hint of disbelief: “May I ask Sister Zhang, to whom did you give it?”
Zhang fell silent for a moment, and her eternally calm and cold voice surprisingly stuttered a bit:
“To someone…
with exceptional talent in talismanic Dao, who was valued by a Nascent Soul cultivator, but due to the rules, that Nascent Soul couldn’t directly accept him as a disciple…”
“…” Sun Daoyu’s expression gradually stiffened, and his complexion slowly turned red as if he was somewhat enraged.
Zheng Fa understood his rage: If you’re going to refuse, just refuse, what does it mean to steal my wording and refuse me?
“I’m not lying,” Zhang pointed at Zheng Fa and said, “I gave it to him.”
