Chapter 285: Chapter 267 Demonic Techniques
After hearing the truth, Wu Cai Immortal was in immense pain, holding his head with both hands.
“Impossible…”
“How could this happen?”
Seeing that Wu Cai Immortal still refused to believe the truth, the Zhang Family Patriarch went straight to the point and dropped a bombshell:
“Third brother!”
“Before your second brother died, didn’t he also invite you to his island to be a guest?”
“And besides, he told you to keep it a secret from me.”
Upon hearing this, Wu Cai Immortal was stunned.
Because, at the time, that was indeed the case.
His sworn second brother had said he was going to get a special Magical Treasure to give to his elder brother and asked for his assistance in checking it out.
He also said to keep it a secret from his elder brother, claiming it was meant to be a surprise.
“At that time, it was exactly because he wanted to harm you that I eliminated him in advance.”
“Now, do you still have any doubts?”
Wu Cai Immortal was stunned for a long while before he came to his senses.
“Is that really so?”
“Of course,” declared the Zhang Family Patriarch emphatically.
“Then why didn’t you explain to me at the beginning?” Wu Cai Immortal asked the Zhang Family Patriarch.
“Third brother, haven’t you noticed?”
“You’ve always had a deep prejudice against me.”
“Even now…”
“Back then, even if I had explained, I’m afraid you wouldn’t have listened.”
“Besides, I didn’t have any evidence.”
After hearing this, Wu Cai Immortal gave a wry smile. He indeed had always held prejudices against the Zhang Family Patriarch.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a deep rift between the two of them.
However, this prejudice went back a long way…
“Enough, let’s not talk about this matter anymore…”
“That incident is in the past now, and our misunderstanding seems to have been resolved…”
The Zhang Family Patriarch chuckled lightly, as if he had let go of something, and suddenly he appeared much more relaxed.
Wu Cai Immortal remained silent for a long time before nodding:
“Yes…”
“It’s resolved…”
After saying this, the Zhang Family Patriarch smiled at Wu Cai Immortal and said:
“With this issue resolved, I can let go of a burden that’s been weighing on my heart.”
“Elder brother…”
Wu Cai Immortal pondered for a moment before speaking.
Calling out this “elder brother,” it was evident that Wu Cai Immortal believed the Zhang Family Patriarch’s words to a large extent.
However, the Zhang Family Patriarch raised his hand, stopping Wu Cai Immortal from continuing, and said instead:
“Third brother, today your elder brother will ask you for one last thing.”
“After this…”
“From then on, there will be a complete severance of brotherly ties between us.”
…
…
Hearing the words of the Zhang Family Patriarch, Wu Cai Immortal, who was initially somewhat sad, was first taken aback, then he looked up at the Zhang Family Patriarch, his eyes full of confusion:
“May I know what you wish to borrow, elder brother?”
Not just Wu Cai Immortal, but even Lin Jing and the other two were perplexed. Even though the misunderstanding between them had been cleared, why would they break off their brotherly ties?
“Cackle…”
Subsequently, the Zhang Family Patriarch grinned, letting out a laugh, but this smile was somewhat strange.
After the laugh, the Zhang Family Patriarch spoke again to Wu Cai Immortal:
“Third brother, why don’t you ‘lend’ me your life for a moment…”
Having heard that, Wu Cai Immortal immediately put away his grief and became extremely vigilant, quickly retreating a distance and glaring at the Zhang Family Patriarch, shouting:
“Zhang Chenfan, it turns out you’ve been deceiving me all along.”
