Zhang Feihu has left.
This straightforward man departed unwillingly, carrying a heart full of regret.
But he had no choice.
His Martial Arts foundation had encountered severe issues, and without nding its origin, wishing to advance further was but a delusion.
Staying in Upper Scenic Celestial had lost its aning for him.
The most important issue was that Zhang Feihu felt deeply disappointed in Upper Scenic Celestial.
Xiao Yan killed so many people and yet was able to walk away unscathed, leaving him with a strong sense of injustice.
Zhang Feihu didn’t have the power to change this fact, and the only thing he could do was leave.
Zhang Yuan escorted him to the mountain gate.
"Be careful of Xiao Yan."
At parting, Zhang Feihu solemnly said to Zhang Yuan, "And never underestimate him!"
Zhang Yuan nodded, "I understand."
After sending Zhang Feihu off, in the days that followed, Zhang Yuan continued his daily routine of training between Lin Xian Manor, Naless Peak, and Martial Pavilion.
He devoted most of his ti and energy to cultivating "Primordial Celestial Spirit True thod" and "Six Harmonies Qilin Body."
The Qilin Grass given by Su Jingyao previously was exchanged for several other herbs at the rit Hall, and then he entrusted an Alchemist from Upper Scenic Celestial to refine them into Qilin Pill.
This cost him the majority of his Daoist rit.
The efficacy of the Qilin Pill was far superior to simply swallowing the Qilin Grass, significantly advancing Zhang Yuan’s progress in this Superior Horizontal Cultivation Technique.
However, to reach the Great Success Realm, this investnt was still far from enough.
But Zhang Yuan had enough patience and perseverance.
That noon, after finishing a lecture at the Martial Pavilion, he returned to his residence in Lin Xian Manor.
As he approached his door, he saw a carriage parked in front.
Beside the carriage stood a pretty maid.
Seeing Zhang Yuan, the maid’s eyes lit up, and she gracefully stepped forward to bow, saying, "May I ask if you are Lord Zhang Yuan?"
Zhang Yuan nodded slightly, "I am Zhang Yuan. Is there sothing you need?"
The maid replied, "My young lady wishes to invite you to i Garden for an important matter, may I ask if you’re available?"
Zhang Yuan frowned, "Who is your young lady?"
The maid smiled softly, "My young lady is Yuan Zishan, a true disciple of Cyan Mist Peak."
Yuan Zishan!
To Zhang Yuan, this na was also very well-known.
Even though he had never t Yuan Zishan, he had heard her ntioned so often by Su Jingyao that he could almost envision her as a seductive and enchanting woman.
In a flash of thought, Zhang Yuan responded indifferently, "Sorry, I’m very busy. Let’s talk another ti."
Thinking with his toes, he could guess that this true disciple from Cyan Mist Peak suddenly sent soone to his door probably had sothing to do with his role as Su Jingyao’s Guardian.
Although Zhang Yuan didn’t know how she found out about this.
But that didn’t stop him from deciding to refuse.
Zhang Yuan previously agreed to be Su Jingyao’s Guardian mainly to maintain and solidify his connections in Upper Scenic Celestial.
Su Jingyao held a distinguished status, had a pleasant personality and temperant, and their previous cooperation was very pleasant.
In such a situation, it was unnecessary for Zhang Yuan to complicate matters with Yuan Zishan!
The outco of trying to please both sides is often losing both, since he’s decided to support Su Jingyao, getting entangled with Yuan Zishan is definitely not a wise choice.
The maid was stunned.
She never expected Zhang Yuan to outright reject her young lady’s invitation.
And with such decisiveness!
With a hint of unwillingness, the maid couldn’t help saying, "Sir, my young lady has set up a banquet at i Garden, along with others from Bright Light Peak..."
But before she could finish, Zhang Yuan had already bypassed the carriage and entered his house.
Zhang Yuan had heard of i Garden.
It was the most upscale spot in Lin Xian Manor, requiring a certain status to enter.
Rumor had it that many items inside required Daoist rit to purchase!
Yuan Zishan hosting a feast at i Garden to invite Zhang Yuan showed sincere intentions.
However, Zhang Yuan perceived arrogance in her gesture.
He even suspected Yuan Zishan was rely extending a courtesy invitation or had other purposes.
But regardless, Zhang Yuan had no intention of responding.
Let her entertain herself!
Returning ho, Zhang Yuan thought for a mont and then took out a token from his Storage Space to send a ssage.
To his surprise, hardly a mont later, the courtyard door was knocked on.
When Zhang Yuan went to open it, he saw a girl in a purple dress standing outside.
The girl was about sixteen, with brows arched like distant mountains and a figure as lithe as a willow, her skin fairer than snow, eyes and lips as if painted, a beauty beyond compare.
Since recalling the mories of his past life, among all the won Zhang Yuan had seen, this girl in the purple dress was undoubtedly the most beautiful.
Su Jingyao wasn’t bad, but she lacked a bit of charm.
The enchanting allure of this girl was innate, making her the most dazzling sight on the street without uttering a word.
Yuan Zishan!
Zhang Yuan’s mind imdiately recalled this na.
The fact that she ca in person was truly unexpected!
The girl in the purple dress smiled charmingly and bowed, "Disciple of Cyan Mist Peak, Yuan Zishan, greets Divine General Zhang."
Her smile was more alluring than the spring breeze in March!
Zhang Yuan felt an involuntary stirring in his heart.
He calmly returned the gesture, "So it’s Junior Sister Yuan, you can just call Zhang Yuan."
Yuan Zishan gazed at Zhang Yuan and softly said, "Senior Brother Zhang, I apologize for the sudden intrusion. May I have a word with you?"
Her voice had an inexplicable charm, as if a spring breeze brushed over one’s heart, making it itch.
She is truly remarkable!
Thinking of Su Jingyao’s evaluation of her, Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but be on high alert.
He stepped aside and made an inviting gesture, "Please."
Her proactive visit shouldn’t be repelled harshly at the door, which wasn’t conducive to resolving issues.
It’d also make Zhang Yuan seem too unapproachable.
Since he had a plan, he decided to welco her in.
After taking seats in the main hall, Zhang Yuan apologized, "Junior Sister Yuan, the conditions here are simple, there’s nothing much to offer. Feel free to speak your mind."
Just as Yuan Zishan was about to speak, Zhang Yuan added, "If it’s about the Guardian matter, then let’s not discuss it."
Yuan Zishan’s enchanting eyes instantly showed a flash of embarrassnt and annoyance.
However, she wasn’t an ordinary person, and imdiately smiled, "Senior Brother Zhang, little sister has co mainly to get acquainted with you, and has no other intentions. You are overthinking."
"That’s good."
Zhang Yuan replied seriously, "I have already agreed to be Sister Su Jingyao’s Guardian, there’s no possibility to promise another, since you’ve clarified this, I am reassured."
Despite Yuan Zishan’s strategic mind, she found herself speechless.
She had never encountered a young man like Zhang Yuan who completely disregarded her.
This true disciple of Cyan Mist Peak even began to doubt her own charm!
