Chapter 1053: Philandering
“Brother Yue, don’t worry too much about this matter. You didn’t ruin Golden Pill Sect’s big event, and you’ve even received your punishment. I, Zhang Shizhao, am not such a petty person, so I’m sure this matter will simply pass.
“Our Zhang and Yue families have been friends for hundreds of years. When the Zhang family was in trouble, it was all thanks to your Yue family’s help. I won’t just watch you fall into trouble. I can’t say the same for elsewhere, but at least in Kai Yuan City, you can rest at ease. No one will dare trouble you here.
“When we arrive at Shan Ling Town in a while, you can take a look around first. If you don’t mind, I’ll leave it to your Yue family to take charge of it in the future.” Zhang Shizhao tried to comfort Yue Qingjie.
“Then I’ll have to thank Brother Zhang. I only came here to seek refuge with you because of your righteous character. Fortunately, I didn’t misjudge you,” said Yue Qingjie happily.
Although this kind of treatment was far from comparable to what he had received in Flowing Clouds Sect, it was already a blessing for him to have a place to stay.
“Brother Yue, you are being too polite.” Zhang Shizhao laughed, flattered upon hearing ‘righteous’.
“Oh right, how has Yuhong been recently? We haven’t seen each other for a few years. His strength should have made a big breakthrough, right?” asked Yue Qingjie.
“He is still the same. He only knows how to flirt with women all day long, and he doesn’t know how to behave properly. However, his strength is not bad, and he has already stepped into the realm of True Essence,” said Zhang Shizhao with relief. After all, the Spiritual Qi in Qianzhong Ridge was much weaker than that of the other big sects. For Zhang Yuhong to advance to the realm of True Essence with the aid of the elixir and marrow cleansing medicinal liquid should be considered to be quite good.
“Congratulations,” said Yue Qingjie before reminding his friend. “However, his lust for women should be changed. My unfilial son was the same and he caused me such trouble because of it.”
“It doesn’t matter. Qianzhong Ridge is different from the sects. There aren’t that many rules. If you don’t cause some trouble, people will actually look down on you,” Zhang Shizhao said disapprovingly.
Yue Qingjie couldn’t refute that either. What Zhang Shizhao said was right. This was Qianzhong Ridge, so there weren’t as many rules as in the other sects.
“Is that the Zhang family of Kaiyuan City in front?” At this moment, a voice came from the front.
“Who are you?” Zhang Shizhao’s guard shouted sternly.
“I’m Zheng Zhijun of Shan Ling Town.” The person answered.
“Zheng Zhijun? The clan head of the Zheng family of Shan Ling Town?” asked Zhang Shizhao as he pulled open the curtain of the carriage.
“So, it’s the head of Zhang clan. That’s great, there’s hope now.” Seeing Zhang Shizhao, Zheng Zhijun shouted in pleasant surprise. He had been rushing to Kai Yuan City on horseback when he saw the sign of the Zhang family on the carriage from not far away. He decided to try his luck and approach the carriage, hoping the head would be in it. “Who would have thought that it would be the head of Zhang clan, which is also Zhang Yuhong’s father…” His worried heart finally settled down.
“Aren’t you supposed to be with Yuhong? Did something happen?” Zheng Zhijun’s travel-worn appearance gave Zhang Shizhao a bad feeling.
“Sir, it’s bad. Young Master Zhang is fighting with someone,” said Zheng Zhijun anxiously.
“Who is so reckless that they dare to attack my Zhang family?” asked Zhang Shizhao angrily. He had just been bragging that no one within hundreds of miles of Kai Yuan City would dare to touch them to Yue Qingjie. In the end, he just had to hear that someone fought had picked a fight with his son. Needless to say, Zhang Shizhao felt very embarrassed.
