Capítulo 1872: Chapter 1869: Transferring Anger

Xin Shuang remained silent, and Zuo Yuqi carefully sat aside, head down, not speaking. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to speak, but he truly did not know what to say. Besides, the intimidating aura of Xin Shuang discouraged him from speaking.

“What is the current situation with the Cheng family?” At this mont, Xin Shuang’s calm voice ca across.

Zuo Yuqi was startled and quickly replied, “Since the Head of the Cheng Family was taken by the people of Heaven’s Gate, the current family head is a guy nad Ling Feng!”

“Ling Feng?” Xin Shuang faintly furrowed her brows; the na was unfamiliar to her. “Is he a Cheng family mber? How co I’ve never heard of him before?”

“It’s said that he returned with the old family head of the Cheng family, but he’s not truly a Cheng family mber!” Zuo Yuqi explained: “However, so say that ever since Ling Feng beca the head, he has secluded himself in retreat, leaving all affairs to the Elders Council, leading many to consider Ling Feng rely a puppet of the Council!”

Xin Shuang’s eyebrows slightly raised: “Oh? Is that the case? So it seems, the real rulers of the Cheng family now are the Elders Council?”

“It seems that way!” Zuo Yuqi nodded.

“What do you think of Heaven’s Gate?” Suddenly, Xin Shuang turned and stared into Zuo Yuqi’s eyes, saying, “Heaven’s Gate has been stirring up quite a commotion recently. What are your thoughts on Heaven’s Gate?”

Zuo Yuqi was dumbfounded. He was rely a disciple from a collateral line and had never been involved in Heaven’s Gate affairs. Although he recently learned a bit about Heaven’s Gate, he had no opinion on it.

“Forget it!” Seeing Zuo Yuqi’s bewildered face, Xin Shuang chuckled softly and said, “How long until we reach the Cheng family?”

Zuo Yuqi breathed a sigh of relief, like a heavy weight lifted from him, and quickly replied, “Less than three hours until we reach the Cheng family’s territory.”

Xin Shuang smiled and then sighed in her heart: “If it were Big Brother Lei…”

In fact, Xin Shuang always knew that her future husband would be Zuo Yuqi from the Zuo family. She was even more aware that being the heir of the Xin family, she couldn’t decide her own marriage. Thus, she tried her best to forget Big Brother Lei!

But after eting Zuo Yuqi, she couldn’t help but compare him to Big Brother Lei, and the more she compared, the more she found Zuo Yuqi lacking in comparison to Big Brother Lei.

“Big Brother Lei is truly a noble among n. How can an ordinary mortal compare?” In her heart, Xin Shuang sighed and carried a hint of disdain as she glanced at the anxiously uneasy Zuo Yuqi.

“I’m tired; I’ll go rest first. Call when we reach the Cheng family!” Xin Shuang stood up and said.

Zuo Yuqi hurriedly stood up as well: “Is it because of sitting too long on the airship? Then you go rest first; I’ll call you when we are close.”

Xin Shuang nodded, then turned and left, leaving behind a trail of fragrance and a face of dejection on Zuo Yuqi.

At this mont, inside the Cheng family, Dao Chengzi was sitting in the reception hall, facing the Great Elder.

“Great Elder, I believe you should know the purpose of my visit this ti, right?” Dao Chengzi looked at the calm-faced Great Elder, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice.

The Great Elder smiled: “I’m really not quite sure. What brings Vice President Dao Chengzi to our Cheng family at this ti?”

Dao Chengzi sincerely said, “Naturally, it’s about the rescue of the Head of the Cheng Family! Ever since the head was captured by Heaven’s Gate, although we’ve been anxious, due to insufficient power, we could only watch helplessly as events unfolded…”

The Great Elder’s eyes glead: “President Dao Chengzi, are you suggesting that Canglan Comrce wants to retaliate against Heaven’s Gate? That would be wonderful! When the battle occurs, the Cheng family will certainly lend full support!”

Dao Chengzi’s mouth twitched. Start a war with Heaven’s Gate? Is Canglan Comrce crazy? Heaven’s Gate is capable of easily destroying Heavenly Cloud Gate, how could Canglan Comrce dare provoke them?

“Ahem!” Dao Chengzi coughed several tis, sowhat embarrassed, and said, “Great Elder, you must be joking. It’s not just us at Canglan Comrce, even the Xin family and Storm Sect don’t have the power or courage to go to war with Heaven’s Gate!”

The Great Elder squinted: “Then Vice President, what are you suggesting…”

“Though we are not opponents of Heaven’s Gate, that doesn’t an we don’t want to rescue the Head of the Cheng Family!” Dao Chengzi said earnestly, “After all, Heaven’s Gate rely wants the Wordless Heavenly Scripture. Though it’s mysterious, how many have truly comprehended its secrets over the past thousands of years?”

The Great Elder spoke with thought: “Vice President, are you suggesting that we hand over the Wordless Heavenly Scripture to exchange for the head?”

“Exactly!” Dao Chengzi sighed in relief, glad the Great Elder understood his intent: “Heaven’s Gate isn’t charitable. Their target is the Wordless Heavenly Scripture. If we don’t use it to rescue the head, the head may face disaster. Then, Heaven’s Gate might even turn against the entire Cheng family, putting them in danger!”

The Great Elder smiled arrogantly: “Danger? When has the world ever been safe? Besides, I suppose the Vice President is not truly concerned for our Cheng family but worried about Heaven’s Gate turning against the entire Canglan Comrce instead?”

Dao Chengzi’s expression changed, becoming extrely serious: “Great Elder, this is a very grave matter. There’s only a month left until Heaven’s Gate’s deadline. If you don’t hand over the Wordless Heavenly Scripture and implicate our entire comrce, then we will have no choice but to… act in the interest of righteousness!”

“Act in the interest of righteousness? What a joke!” At this mont, a contemptuous voice ca from outside: “How amusing to hear such words from you?”

A tall figure walked in, and Dao Chengzi’s eyes narrowed: “It’s you? Insolent! Is this a place for you to speak?”

“Dao Chengzi, you are the insolent one!” The Great Elder’s deanor changed: “To be so disrespectful to our Cheng family’s new family head, are you declaring war on the Cheng family?”

Dao Chengzi’s eyes shrank, sowhat incredulous as he looked at Ling Feng, who walked in: “He’s your new family head? How is that possible? Isn’t he just a puppet?”

The Great Elder stood protectively in front of Ling Feng, a look of nace in his eyes: “Dao Chengzi, I only show courtesy because you’re the president of Canglan Comrce, but if you continue to disrespect our new family head, don’t bla the Cheng family for being ungracious!”

Ling Feng looked at Dao Chengzi, a cold smile on his face. When Dao Chengzi sched against Ling Feng initially, he never thought Ling Feng would soday beco the head of the Cheng family. What has beco of this world? Could the Cheng family truly be without capable leaders?
