Miracle Farmer with Special Abilities-Chapter 659 - 0: Conflict_1

In the afternoon, golden sunlight shone upon the green vines of the vineyard, making them appear even more lush. Bunches of green grapes dangled from the emerald-like vines, resembling strings of green gemstones and looking extraordinarily beautiful. Some of the grapes had even begun to ripen, emitting a sweet fragrance. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Perhaps it was because the vineyard had returned to Red Leaf’s hands, or perhaps it was because there were no more assassins here. The vineyard seemed reborn, bursting with a strange vitality from the inside out.

At this moment, Zhang Bin stood at the estate gate seeing off his guests, who were, of course, all the Chinese Cultivators.

"Everyone, our operation against Black Bell has been a great success," Zhang Bin said with a smile. "Wait for notification about the next mission. You can return to your sects or wait in Yanjing. I still have some matters to handle here, but I will return to China soon."

"There’s another mission?" Zhou Tianyu’s face lit up with surprise and anticipation, his eyes shining brightly.

Ever since he started taking on missions with Zhang Bin, it had been especially thrilling. He had received a lot of Spirit Stones and even earned a huge amount of merit. He felt his Realm beginning to loosen, but he was still just short of breaking through to the Mid Nascent Soul stage. Of course, he hoped for another mission to earn even more merit.

"Yes, there is another very important mission that can earn a lot of merit. However, we won’t need so many experts this time since we’ve already dealt a heavy blow to Black Bell," Zhang Bin said in a tempting tone.

"Heh heh..."

All the cultivators who felt they still lacked sufficient merit to break through chuckled foolishly, their faces full of expectation. They resolved not to return to their sects but to wait in Yanjing for the mission.

"Senior Zhang, you aren’t returning to your sect immediately, are you? Could you let Zhang Xue stay and help me with a few things?" Zhang Bin asked, casting an expectant gaze upon Zhang Hangkui’s face.

He was using the promise of merit to tempt Zhang Hangkui into not returning to Shushan, giving him and Zhang Xue more time together.

"Hmph..." Zhang Hangkui’s face turned colder than ice. "Zhang Bin, listen well. Zhang Xue is my granddaughter. You’d better not have any designs on her, you scoundrel, or I won’t go easy on you."

He was an exceedingly crafty old fox. Ever since he saw Zhang Xue throw herself into Zhang Bin’s arms, he knew that Zhang Bin must have used some despicable trick to make his granddaughter fall for him. He had been observing Zhang Xue ever since and noticed the affectionate way she looked at Zhang Bin, which nearly drove him mad with rage. Now that Zhang Bin wanted to keep Zhang Xue here, how could he possibly agree? He decided to speak bluntly to shatter Zhang Bin’s foolish fantasies.

The numerous cultivators, who were just about to fly away, all stopped to watch the drama unfold. They looked at Zhang Bin with quizzical expressions, curious to see if he had a way to make the notoriously stubborn Zhang Hangkui change his mind. Getting him to change his mind was harder than scaling the heavens.

Zhang Bin’s expression soured. He had hoped that after he had given out so many Spirit Stones and helped them earn a tremendous amount of merit, Zhang Hangkui might agree to his relationship with Zhang Xue. To his surprise, the man had rejected him outright. How can this be? Zhang Xue is already my woman!

His face hardened as he said, "What have I done wrong? Senior, you should watch your words."

"Hmph... You’re nothing but a scoundrel! You already have a girlfriend, yet you still covet my granddaughter Zhang Xue. I don’t know what vile method you used to deceive her, and you should consider yourself lucky I haven’t settled the score with you. And you dare speak to me like this?" Zhang Hangkui roared, his face frigid and his voice brimming with killing intent.

The Shushan disciples began to clamor angrily.

"Yeah, who does Zhang Bin think he is? How could he possibly be worthy of Zhang Xue?"

"Zhang Xue is our Shushan Goddess! She can only marry a Shushan disciple. You’re just daydreaming, Zhang Bin!"

"Zhang Bin, just admit it! What despicable means did you use to trick Zhang Xue?"

At that moment, it was as if Zhang Bin had become a rat crossing the street, with everyone shouting for his head. The other cultivators were snickering to themselves. The drama seemed to be escalating, and their anticipation grew.

Zhang Bin’s face turned livid, and he clenched his fists so tightly that a fierce aura burst from him.

He pulled Zhang Xue into his embrace and growled, "Zhang Hangkui, you listen to me! Zhang Xue is my woman, and no one can change that. Whether you agree or not, she is mine! Heh heh, what are you going to do about it?"

"You..." Zhang Hangkui trembled with fury, almost grinding his teeth to dust. When had he ever encountered such a shameless scoundrel?

All the Shushan disciples were beside themselves with rage, cursing Zhang Bin loudly. The onlookers were all dumbstruck. Zhang Bin was simply too audacious, too brazen.

"Grandfather," Zhang Xue said, snuggling obediently in Zhang Bin’s arms, "I am his in life and will be his ghost in death. So, you two should stop arguing. We’re all family, what is there to argue about?"

The power of her words was terrifying, utterly shocking and scandalous. Everyone was completely dumbfounded, hardly able to believe their ears. For Zhang Xue to utter such affectionate and resolute words, it showed just how deeply she loved Zhang Bin.

Zhang Bin was also deeply moved, holding her in his arms like a precious treasure.

"Zhang Xue, are you... are you trying to kill me with anger?" Zhang Hangkui roared, practically jumping with fury. His right hand shot out like lightning to snatch Zhang Xue from Zhang Bin’s embrace.

But Zhang Bin immediately activated the formation. A terrifying force, as imposing as a mountain, bore down on Zhang Hangkui, almost forcing him to his knees. His outstretched hand drooped powerlessly. Enraged to the point where he felt his lungs might explode, he shouted viciously, "Zhang Bin, you have some nerve! I demand you release Zhang Xue right now, or your life is forfeit!"

That he would say such a thing showed the depths of his fury.

"Senior Zhang, we’re family. I’m your grandson-in-law. How can you say such things?" Zhang Bin said with a wicked smile, not letting go of Zhang Xue. This is my Great Array. Never mind Zhang Hangkui, not even a Late-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator could touch me here.

"Very well," Zhang Hangkui said with a cold sneer. "In that case, I have no choice but to use a Secret Technique to summon the Shushan Ancestor. I’ll be honest with you, our Shushan Ancestor has a temper like a raging fire and detests evil. The moment he arrives, he will destroy this vineyard with a single palm strike, and all of you will be turned into meat paste."

"Zhang Bin, let me go, quickly! Grandfather isn’t exaggerating at all." Zhang Xue’s face turned deathly pale, and she quickly struggled free from his grasp.
