Chapter 447: Chapter 447 Funeral Specifications Chapter 447: Chapter 447 Funeral Specifications The Song family had previously had no major quarrels with the Zhang family, but their relationship was far from intimate.

Now, because of Jing Yan’s involvement, shouldn’t the Song family view the Zhang family with animosity?

So, what was the meaning behind the Song family attending Zhang Min’s funeral today?

The appearance of the Song family members clearly caused a significant stir.

Those who had been discussing the matter with a mocking tone suddenly fell silent, looking with surprise and uncertainty as four Song family elders hurriedly approached!

Could it be that the Song family members were here to cause trouble?

No, that couldn’t be right!

It was said that Jing Yan was still within the Zhang family, and even if the Song family were out of their minds, they would know that causing a disturbance at Zhang Min’s funeral would definitely not go unpunished by Jing Yan!

The originally modest funeral seemed to gain a lot more color with the arrival of the Song family members.

After all, the Song family was a top-tier family in Haofeng City.

As the four Song family elders made their entrance, their presence was undeniably different.

Liu Family Mansion!

“Clan Leader…” A Liu Family guard hurriedly rushed into the Clan Chief’s Courtyard.

“What’s the panic?” The Liu Family Patriarch’s countenance darkened.

He had been discussing with several Liu Family elders why City Lord Yuan Jihu had been inactive these past few days when the guard burst in, obviously displeasing him greatly.

“It’s…

it’s about the funeral of Zhang Min of the Zhang Family!” The guard was stared down by the Liu Family Patriarch and even shuddered a bit.

Hearing the guard’s words, the Liu Family Patriarch remembered that he had indeed sent someone to gather information at Zhang Min’s funeral.

Although the Liu Family had decided not to attend, he still needed to know which major families had gone.

“Speak!” The Liu Family Patriarch gestured with a wave of his hand.

“Yes!” The guard said, “Second Elder Song, Third Elder Song…

they all went to the Zhang Family to attend Zhang Min’s funeral.”

“What?” The Liu Family Patriarch and the elders all tensed up.

They had just been discussing whether the Hu Family would send someone to attend the funeral.

They had absolutely not considered the possibility of the Song family attending Zhang Min’s funeral.

In their view, it was unthinkable for the Song family to attend.

The message brought back by the guard was completely unexpected.

And not only did the Song family attend Zhang Min’s funeral, but it was also four revered family elders.

The Second and Third Elders were among the most important members within the Song family.

It could be said that apart from the Song Family Patriarch, the Second and Third Elders held the most influence.

Their attendance at Zhang Min’s funeral suggested several implications.

“Keep observing!” After a moment of shock, the Liu Family Patriarch motioned to the guard once more.

“Yes!” The guard departed.

“Why would the Song family attend Zhang Min’s funeral?” After the guard left, the Liu Family Patriarch looked gravely at the Liu Family elders.

“Could it be that they wish to alleviate their relationship with Jing Yan?” One elder speculated.

“Jing Yan is not from Haofeng City, he will leave eventually.

What’s the use of the Song family easing their relationship with him?

Haofeng City is still under the control of City Lord Yuan Jihu!” Another elder shook his head.

“It couldn’t be to make trouble, could it?

Jing Yan is still with the Zhang family, and with Jing Yan’s strength, not just four Innate Martial Artists, but even four martial artists of the Dao Spirit Realm might go and never return!”

“Let’s just wait and see!

For the moment, we can’t fathom the Song family’s intentions,” the Liu Family Patriarch’s eyes hardened.

“Clan Leader!

Now that the Song family has sent representatives, shouldn’t we also send someone?” one person suggested with furrowed brows.

“Let’s wait a bit longer.

I have a feeling that something out of the ordinary might happen today, perhaps even a move by City Lord Yuan Jihu,” the Liu Family Patriarch mused.

Outside the Zhang Family Mansion,

Zhang Yibing and the others were obviously in much better spirits.

With the Song family attending, the standards of Zhang Min’s funeral had been raised significantly.

One of the three great families of Haofeng City, the Song family, wasn’t the type to attend just any funeral.

However, with the arrival of the Song family, the resentment Zhang Yibing and the others felt towards the Liu family deepened.

The Song family had sent representatives, yet your Liu family couldn’t bother to send a single person?

Heh!

To think our Zhang family always respected the Liu family above all others!

Even if the Liu family feared the City Lord, shouldn’t they have sent someone as a gesture?

And now, not even a shadow of the Liu family was in sight.

“Clan Chief, look quickly!”

At that moment, the Ninth Elder suddenly exclaimed.
He saw a figure approaching down the street, dressed in a dark gold robe – it was City Lord Yuan Jihu.

The Ninth Elder’s eyes widened, and after a careful second glance, there was no mistake – it was indeed the City Lord!

Why was City Lord Yuan Jihu here?

Could it be a coincidence?

Clan Chief Zhang Yibing and the other Zhang Family elders also widened their eyes.

They watched as City Lord Yuan Jihu walked straight toward them.

“Clan Chief Zhang!

Ninth Elder!

Please accept my condolences, ah, it’s such a pity about Zhang Min,” Yuan Jihu said as he arrived before Zhang Yibing and the others, letting out a sigh.

Hearing Yuan Jihu speak these words, Zhang Yibing and the others knew for certain that City Lord Yuan had come to attend Zhang Min’s funeral.

Yet, they found it hard to believe that the scene unfolding before their eyes was real.

If members of the Song family attending Zhang Min’s funeral were a mixture of surprise and pleasure for Zhang Yibing and the others, then City Lord Yuan Jihu’s attendance left them completely bewildered.

Yesterday, when Jing Yan returned from Gao Lan Mansion, he had mentioned that his misunderstanding with City Lord Yuan had been resolved.

But still, Zhang Yibing and others had not expected Yuan Jihu to attend Zhang Min’s funeral.

This honor had unexpectedly fallen on the Zhang family.

Keep in mind, Yuan Jihu was the City Lord of Haofeng City!

Even the funeral of Zhang Yibing, the clan leader, normally would not likely see City Lord Yuan attending in person; usually, the most that would happen would be Zhang Yibing sending a chief manager from the City Lord Mansion as a token gesture.

Only the funerals of clan leaders from first-tier families might compel City Lord Yuan to attend in person.

And so, stunned, Zhang Yibing and the others were speechless for quite some time, simply gazing at Yuan Jihu.

“Clan Chief Zhang, do you not welcome me?” Yuan Jihu said with a deliberate smile, watching the expressions of Zhang Yibing and the others.

That was when Zhang Yibing and the others finally snapped back to reality.

“City Lord, please come in!” Zhang Yibing quickly bowed and invited Yuan Jihu into the courtyard.

It wasn’t until then that Zhang Yibing and others realized what Jing Yan meant by resolving the misunderstanding with the City Lord.

This was beyond clearing up a misunderstanding; it was as if they had become close friends.

Although the Zhang family was extremely excited at the moment, they were not completely overwhelmed; they all understood that City Lord Yuan’s visit was not for the sake of the Zhang family’s face, but for the sake of Jing Yan.
