Chapter 1065 - Truly Fallen in Love

But Zhang Shizhao’s attitude was clearly that of a junior facing a senior, or a subordinate facing a superior. He had never been so humble even when facing the clan heads of other forces.

“Oh right, Clan Head Zhang, about the matter of Shan Ling Town..?” asked Zheng Zhijun as he stepped forward. Zhang Yuhong had come to take over Shan Ling Town, but he had been injured so badly that he had gotten into another carriage to return to Kai Yuan City, leaving Zheng Zhijun unknown as to how to proceed with things.

“Oh, by the way…” Zhang Shizhao pondered for a moment before asking Ling Chuxi. “…My Lady, I would like to hand over Shan Ling Town to the Yue family for them to manage it on our behalf. It can also be considered as giving them a place to settle down. What do you think?”

“It’s up to you. Do as you see fit.” Ling Chuxi believed that after this lesson and Zhang Yuhong’s previous experience, Yue Qingjie’s family should have some awareness, so she didn’t bother to be too petty.

“Thank you, my Lady. Thank you so much.” Zhang Shizhao thanked her profusely before turning to Zheng Zhijun, “Yue Qingjie is like a brother to me, a family friend of the Zhang family. From now on, hand over Shan Ling Town to him and help him well. We won’t mistreat your Zheng family.”

Zheng Zhijun and the group of guards were completely petrified, so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground. This wasn’t just humility or respect anymore. Zhang Shizhao was simply following Sword Heart Gang’s lead. Even the Zhang family’s property was at their disposal.

Everyone firmly remembered Sword Heart Gang. It went without saying that a powerful force had emerged from Shan Ling Town that would one day rule over Qianzhong Ridge.

The few carriages rode into Kai Yuan City, leaving Zheng Zhijun and his guards still staring after them.

When they arrived at Kai Yuan City, the sky had completely darkened, but the city was brightly lit and bustling.

The scale of Kai Yan City was much larger than Shan Ling Town. It was comparable to the large cities of the Nan Xia Country, people moving about orderly as merchants excitedly peddled their local specialties.

The street was crowded. Although they avoided the Zhang family’s carriage, Zhang Shizhao was still afraid that he would accidentally hurt the pedestrians and become a bully, so he ordered his drivers to slow down.

Since the carriage was going slow anyway, Ling Chuxi, Lan Xinyu, and the others got off the carriage and walked around, curious about Kai Yuan City.

Lan Xinyu, Su Xiu’er, and the others were young and cheerful, so they naturally found many interesting things that excited them along the way.

Ling Chuxi sometimes joined in the fun, but they were just looking and did not intend to buy anything. After looking, they would put the item back down.

Zhang Yuhong, on the other hand, would signal to someone and that person would quietly buy the items that Ling Chuxi had touched.

This guy’s eyes were really sharp. Whatever he bought, it was always something that Ling Chuxi had looked at and appeared somewhat satisfied with. As for what Lan Xinyu and the others saw, he could not care less.

Zhang Shizhao noticed his son’s actions and could not help but sigh.

From the looks of it, he had fallen quite deeply this time. If it was in the past, Zhang Yuhong wouldn’t be able to concentrate on a single woman. He definitely felt more relieved but still sighed. With Ling Chuxi’s strength, status, and identity, how could he, Zhang Yuhong, dream to have her? Moreover, his reputation was already in tatters. How would he appear to others?
