Chapter 260 - Chapter 260: Chapter 245 Temporary resolution of the crisis (2/2)
Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a figure flying in from the direction of the Fang Market.
This person, Lin Jing had also seen before.
It was none other than the Zhang Family Patriarch, Zhang Chenfan.
Upon Zhang Chenfan’s arrival, the expression on the Wu Cai Immortal’s face grew even gloomier.
“Zhang Chenfan, what are you doing here?”
“If you intend to make a move against Zhang Wu, of course, I’d come.”
No sooner had the Zhang Family Patriarch’s words fallen, than he was already near the group.
Zhang Wu and Lin Jing both turned around and saluted Zhang Chenfan with clasped fists:
“Patriarch…”
“Immortal Chenfan…”
Zhang Chenfan nodded to both, then turned to Zhang Wu and asked:
“Little Wu, what’s going on here?”
Zhang Wu saluted and said to the Zhang Family Patriarch:
“Reporting to the Patriarch, it’s like this…”
Zhang Wu recounted the recent events to the Zhang Family Patriarch.
After listening, the Zhang Family Patriarch nodded and then turned to the Wu Cai Immortal saying:
“Wu Cai…”
“You are a well-known senior with a longstanding reputation. You must be quite clear that this matter is not something Lin Jing could have done. Why make things difficult for a junior?”
After speaking, the Zhang Family Patriarch glanced at Lin Jing, then continued:
“Lin Jing is often seen in close proximity to the young lady from the Bai Family and has some misunderstandings with your family’s younger generation. This is no secret; many people are aware of this matter…”
“Are you perhaps taking this out on him because of this affair?”
After hearing this, the Wu Cai Immortal’s face turned even uglier:
“Zhang Chenfan, it is not your place to lecture me on what I should do…”
After speaking, the Wu Cai Immortal directly pointed at the Zhang Family Patriarch, and continued:
“And you, always at odds with our Liu Clan, I’ve long found you displeasing.”
“How about it?”
“Are you willing to have a bout with me?”
At this moment, the Wu Cai Immortal’s animosity wasn’t just directed at Lin Jing anymore.
Ever since the deaths of Liu Yiyuan and his son, he had been suppressing the rage in his heart. Now, seeing the Zhang Family Patriarch, with whom he had always been at odds, a nameless anger arose within him.
Despite being confronted in such a manner, the Zhang Family Patriarch wasn’t angry but shook his head in resignation and said:
“Sigh…”
“There have been too many misfortunes in your Liu Clan recently.”
“I assume you’ve been suppressing your anger all this while. Since you want to fight, I could keep you company.”
“It could be good for you to vent out your anger.”
These words, coming from the Zhang Family Patriarch, sounded to the Wu Cai Immortal like mockery.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced at the Zhang Family Patriarch and then suddenly burst into laughter:
“Hahaha…”
“Zhang Chenfan, you hypocrite!”
