Lin Xun immediately helped him up and said, “Elder, please feel at ease. Jianming is my blood brother, so his younger brother is my younger brother!”

As he spoke, a chilly look flashed through his dark eyes.

Before he had headed over to Thousand Lake City, Lin Xun had gotten some information. The Zheng Clan was the biggest power in all of Thousand Lake City. It was like a giant mountain that loomed over the city, and no one could shake it up.

However, in Lin Xun’s eyes, the Zheng Clan was no threat at all.

The Zheng Family’s strongest expert was only at the Cyclic Derivation Stage. To the citizens of the city, this was probably considered an extremely powerful entity.

Unfortunately, to Lin Xun, someone at that stage was no different from a stray cat or dog at this point!

He wasn’t being arrogant. After all, he had lots of experience throughout his cultivation journey!

Ever since he had come to the Ancient Wasteland Domain, the number of Cyclic Derivation Cultivators that Lin Xun had killed could not be counted. Among those who died, there were famous peerless geniuses with the West Infinity World’s younger generation.

Thus, the Zheng Family’s great expert in the Cyclic Derivation Stage was not even worthy enough to wipe the shoes of these geniuses!

Furthermore, a great number of half-step Kings also died after fighting Lin Xun.

Under these circumstances, if Lin Xun truly felt some misgivings in storming the Zheng Family’s residence, then other people would mock him for being a coward.

“Elder, please lead the way for me.”

“Young Master, you are being too kind. Although this old man has a useless body, I can still move around and help you anywhere.

……

The Zheng Clan.

The atmosphere was a bit odd within the great hall of a sumptuous and grandiose manor.

The clan head of the Zheng Family, Zheng Qianlong, was sitting upright in the clan head’s seat with an indifferent look on his face. He was glancing down in a way that made it seem like he was a master overlooking his domain. He then looked towards a youngster in the middle of the main hall, and not a ripple went through his eyes.

The youth was dressed neatly with a face as handsome as jade. He looked quite elegant, but he was currently sitting on the floor in a pathetic manner. He was only repeating one phrase, “I’m hungry, I’m hungry…”

This was Yue Jianfei.

On two sides of the great hall were many high-level members of the Zheng Family. There were both men and women, old and young. None of them bothered to hide the looks of disgust, loathing, and disdain on their faces.

This was because they knew that the immaculately dressed youth in front of them, who was quite handsome, was actually an idiot who had been born that way.

Since he was a fool, how could he possibly know what was right or wrong?

After all, he was currently sitting in the middle of the great hall on the floor, being stared at by a bunch of people, but he didn’t feel the least bit insulted or ashamed. All he did was complain that he was hungry all the time. He was so stupid that it was a bit unbelievable.

“Virtuous Nephew, if you want to eat, it’s possible as long as you take out the marriage contract and unconditionally agree to annul the agreement. Once you do that, I’ll give you some food to eat.”

Zheng Qianlong had finally spoken with an apathetic expression. There wasn’t a hint of disdain in his voice. After all, at his status, verbally tormenting an idiot was beneath his dignity.

“Uncle Zheng, what does annulling the agreement mean? Can that be eaten?” Yue Jianfei looked quite frustrated.

Zheng Qianlong’s face darkened as impatience surfaced in his heart. He responded, “How about this, just take out the marriage contract.”

“What is a marriage contract? Can that be eaten instead?” Yue Jianfei continued to ask. He clearly didn’t hear the impatience in Zheng Qianlong’s voice and looked quite earnest and pleasant as he asked.

Everyone fell silent. This guy was truly an idiot!

“Older Brother, what’s the point of talking to a foolish idiot? Isn’t it just faster to kill him?” impatiently asked an elder of the Zheng Family.

“Killing an idiot doesn’t mean much, but this particular fool is still the younger brother of Yue Jianming. It’s still better to be cognizant of any consequences first,” responded Zheng Qianlong expressionlessly.

“Yue Jianming?”

A middle-aged matron burst out into raucous laughter as she remarked shrilly, “The genius who was famous throughout Fire Spirit Province used to be quite arrogant and lofty. For the sake of a killing machine, he threw himself for Demon God Lin and ended up losing his life. He died quite bravely, I guess.”

She continued with a sneer, “Yue Jianming certainly died at an opportune time. If he was still alive and other people found out about his relation to the Zheng Family, wouldn’t we have a problem now?”

An old man stroked his beard as he remarked, “He was Demon God Lin’s friend, yet almost all of the ancient orthodoxies in West Infinity World are now targeting him. Demon God Lin is a giant ball of misfortune. Whoever gets near him will be affected. If Yue Jianming didn’t die, then I’m afraid that our Zheng Family would have gotten pulled into this as well!”

The middle-aged matron giggled before saying, “That’s right, I also heard that Thousand Illusions Sect is panicking now and refuses to get revenge for Yue Jianming. In fact, they have drawn a line, telling everyone that Yue Jianming had made this decision for himself and deserved to die. It was in no way related to their sect.”

Another person chimed in, “Even the Thousand Illusions Sect has given up on Yue Jianming, so we absolutely cannot get dragged down by him. Thus, we need to get rid of this idiot today!”

Within the large hall, everyone discussed with sneers and laughter and did not bother to conceal their conversations. They weren’t the least bit afraid of being overheard by Yue Jianfei.

“I’m hungry…I’m really very hungry ah…I want to go home…” Yue Jianfei continuously whined to himself with a wronged look on his face.

“Alright, Jianfei, let’s eat first.” A graceful and beautiful young woman entered the hall, holding a tray full of piping hot food.

“Yunqiao, just what are you doing?!” Zheng Qianlong frowned.

“Father, let me handle this,” Zheng Yunqiao said gently. She had already squatted down and set out the food for Yue Jianfei.

Yue Jianfei snatched a bowl off of the ground and began gulping it down ravenously. He muttered in-between bites, “Qiaoqiao is still the person who treats me best. Once my older brother comes home, I will definitely have him personally help us with our wedding day.”

A peel of sneering laughter rang through the great hall. This fool was being way too much. The circumstances had changed so much, yet he was still going on about getting married. He was stupid beyond repair.

Zheng Yunqiao gently said, “Jianfei, since you feel like I treat you well, then can you tell me where the marriage contract is located?”

Yue Jianfei responded in frustration, “Qiaoqiao, just what is the marriage contract? How come everyone wants it right now?”

Zheng Yunqiao was about to explain when she saw Yue Jianfei bury his head in the food again. He said, “Qiaoqiao, can you wait until I finish eating to talk about this?”

The gentle look on Zheng Qiaoyun’s face immediately disappeared and transformed into pure hate. She could no longer suppress the loathing that had long been bubbling inside of her, so with the back of her hand, she slapped away the bowl and utensils in Yue Jianfei’s hands.

Crash!

The bowl crashed to the ground, smashing into smithereens. The broken fragments were as sharp as knives and flew past Yue Jianfei’s face, leaving behind bloody traces.

Yue Jianfei was stunned. His eyes opened wide, and there were still remnants of half-chewed food in his mouth. He looked incredibly stupid as he sputtered, “Qiaoqiao, I…what did I do wrong this time?”

Seeing him like this made Zheng Yunqiao tremble all over with anger. She shrieked shrilly as she berated him, “Eat, eat, eat, all you know how to do is eat! I’ve long gotten sick of that stupid face of ours. If it hadn’t been for your older brother, then do you think I would have paid any attention to a stupid, idiotic fool like you for all of these years?”

Yue Jianfei responded out of shock, “Qiaoqiao, didn’t you say that I was your favorite fool of all? Apparently, you’ve been tricking me for all of this time…”

Zheng Yunqiao was so mad that her face turned beet red as she screamed, “Shut up! Only an idiot would like another idiot. Let me tell you, your older brother is already dead. Your Yue Family only has a stupid fool left. Do you think a piece of trash like you can seriously get married to me? Fat chance!”

Yue Jianfei was stunned silly. Although his intellectual abilities were limited, he was still a human. He still had feelings. After encountering such a blow, he would also feel sad and depressed.

“You…you…you’re trying to trick me! My older brother cannot be dead!” howled Yue Jianfei. He was so overcome with emotion that his entire body trembled and his eyes turned red. “Qiaoqiao, you’re trying to trick me, right?”

“Why would I need to trick a fool?” Zheng Yunqiao sneered.

“This…this can’t be true. My older brother said that he’d help me get healed and then I can be like him and also cultivate. How could you be so mean to try to trick me…”

Tears filled Yue Jianfei’s eyes as he squatted on the ground. Blood was still dripping down from his cheeks and the food on the floor was a mess. It made him look exceptionally helpless.

However, everyone in the great hall was cold and indifferent. He was merely an idiot, so there was no need for them to sympathize with him.

“Are you going to tell me where the marriage contract is?”

Zheng Yunqiao had lost the last of her patience. After revealing the news of Yue Jianming’s death, she could no longer control the years of hate and resentment she had hidden in her heart.

The heavens had eyes and finally allowed her to break free of her fate. She no longer needed to get married to a stupid idiot!

Yue Jianfei was numb to all of this. He simply sat on the floor as he muttered incessantly, “My older brother wouldn’t die, he has never tricked me…he will definitely come back and get me…”

A spurt of rage suddenly arose in Zheng Yunqiao’s heart. She raised her right hand and was about to heavily slap Yue Jianfei’s face.

This blithering idiot!

If it hadn’t been for the sake of the signed marriage contract, she would have long drawn and quartered this stupid fool!

All of the elders in the Zheng Family could understand Zheng Yunqiao’s actions, so no one tried to stop her. After all, they all had the same mindset. He was merely an idiot, so what did it matter if they killed him?

“If you have the guts to continue, then I’ll make you wish for death instead!”

Right as Zheng Yunqiao’s hand was about to come down, an icy-cold voice suddenly echoed throughout the great hall.

It was as if an icy-cold blizzard had engulfed the entire hall. The temperature was rapidly dropping, and the void howled. The great hall had suddenly filled with a stifling atmosphere that could choke them all.

Zheng Yunqiao felt herself stiffen. She had sensed an intense and sharp intent targeting her heart. As soon as she moved, she knew the consequences would be more than she could bear.

The next moment, it felt as if a death god was staring straight at her.

At the same time, the elders of the Zheng Clan involuntarily felt their eyes constrict, and their hearts began to tremble. Their expressions abruptly changed, and they all looked toward the entrance of the hall.

No one was certain when he had appeared, but there was now a youth dressed in moon-white clothing standing there. His long, dark hair cascaded down his shoulders, revealing a handsome yet ice-cold face.

His eyes were especially striking. They were as dark as an abyss, and a person’s spirit inadvertently trembled whenever he looked at them.

Other than this youth was an old servant, but the elders of the Zheng Family at least recognized him. He was the only servant left in the Yue Family, so there was no need for them to take any notice of him.

But no one could see through that youth. This made them feel bewildered. However, their first reaction was to feel angry and not afraid.

They were simply an old servant from the Yue Family and an unknown youth, yet they dared to have the guts to intrude into the Zheng Residence. Weren’t they being too rude?

As the number one power of Thousand Lake City, the elders of the Zheng Family had long gotten used to throwing their weights around like a tyrant. No one had tried to provoke them for many years, so this also gave them the arrogance to back their actions up.

In fact, there was a saying that circulated through Thousand Lake City: It was better to offend a devil of King Yama than to provoke a dog from the Zheng Family!
