Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Investigating Jing Yan【Five Updates】 Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Investigating Jing Yan【Five Updates】 “If the Song Family could form a good relationship with Yuan Jihu, having this City Lord to help them in the future, even if the Song Family were to fall from a first-class family, it would not be completely devoured by those covetous forces.

It can be said that the Song Family Patriarch has painstakingly considered his family!

“Old Clan Leader, I will remember this favor!” After calming his mind, Yuan Jihu once again gave a salute to the Song Family Patriarch, “I take my leave!”

As Yuan Jihu left the Song Family Mansion, Jing Yan and Zhang Yibing and others were walking on the road back to the Zhang Family.

At this moment, Zhang Yibing and the others were filled with awe towards Jing Yan.

What kind of powerful existence was this Martial Artist before them?

Even the Song Family Patriarch was powerless against him!

While on their way, Jing Yan suddenly smiled and said to Zhang Yibing, “Clan Chief Zhang, do you have something to say to someone?”

Jing Yan had already noticed!

Since leaving the Zhang Family, Zhang Yibing had a peculiar expression on his face, as if he had something to say but dared not speak.

“Jing Yan…

Mr.

Jing Yan!” Upon hearing Jing Yan’s question, Zhang Yibing forced an unnatural smile on his face.

“You don’t need to change your attitude towards me,” Jing Yan sighed softly and continued, “Clan Chief Zhang, just say whatever you want to say!”

“Mr.

Jing Yan, I wanted to ask if you plan to leave Haofeng City soon?

Rest assured, for Zhang Min’s funeral, our Zhang Family will handle it with the utmost respect.”

Jing Yan’s brow furrowed slightly.

“I do not plan to leave Haofeng City just yet,” Jing Yan said, looking at Zhang Yibing.

“If Clan Chief Zhang feels that my presence at the Zhang Family would cause trouble, then I can avoid visiting the Zhang Family and also not attend Elder Sister Zhang Min’s funeral.”

Zhang Yibing’s face turned pale and he shook his head vehemently.

“Mr.

Jing Yan, please don’t misunderstand, that’s not what I meant!

The truth is, City Lord Yuan Jihu is completely different from Song Zhongshan.

Even if he knows about Mr.

Jing Yan’s relationship with our Zhang Family, he will definitely not vent his anger on the Zhang Family.

What I mean is, Mr.

Jing Yan, do you really want to clash with the City Lord?” Zhang Yibing explained quickly.

Indeed, he was speaking the truth!

Given Yuan Jihu’s character, he would not vent his anger on the Zhang Family because of Jing Yan.

So when Zhang Yibing asked if Jing Yan wanted to leave right away, he was genuinely considering Jing Yan’s situation.

Jing Yan is strong, but if he were to confront Yuan Jihu directly, what would the outcome be?

If Yuan Jihu’s strength was superior, then Jing Yan might be killed directly.

If Jing Yan’s strength was superior and he ended up killing Yuan Jihu, but since Yuan Jihu is the City Lord of Haofeng City, killing a City Lord would stir up a huge commotion!

Hearing Zhang Yibing’s explanation, Jing Yan felt somewhat reassured.

“Clan Chief Zhang, you don’t need to worry about me, I know my limits,” Jing Yan said in a calm tone.

“Yes!

Yes!” Zhang Yibing nodded quickly in response.

…

After leaving the Song Family Mansion, Yuan Jihu headed straight back to the City Lord Mansion, his expression grim.

The events of today had indeed left him seething with nowhere to vent his frustration.

However, after hearing what the Song Family Patriarch had said to him, Yuan Jihu didn’t dare to confront Jing Yan directly.

But to just let it go?

Yuan Jihu was not willing!

Shortly after Yuan Jihu returned, a figure swiftly walked in.

“City Lord, did you call for me?” The person who entered bowed to Yuan Jihu and asked.

This person was the Chief Manager of the City Lord Mansion.

“Chief Su, go and do something for me.

Investigate that man’s background; I want to know everything about him.

Yes, use all the resources of the City Lord Mansion to find out!” Yuan Jihu instructed Chief Su.

Chief Su, obviously aware of Yuan Jihu’s reason for being upset, also knew who Yuan Jihu wanted him to investigate.

“Yes!

I’ll handle it immediately!” Chief Su replied and then turned to leave.

Yuan Jihu took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with intensity.

As for the words the Song Family Patriarch had said, Yuan Jihu indeed could not entirely trust them.

He could not find a reason why the Song Family Patriarch would lie, but to believe that a 20-year-old youth was a Dao Spirit Realm Martial Artist and comparable to a Peak Dao Spirit Realm Strong Person, he found it very hard to convince himself.

So, as soon as he was back, he had the Chief Manager of the City Lord Mansion dig up Jing Yan’s details.

He wanted to know exactly who Jing Yan was and what kind of background he came from.

Two days passed in a blink!

The conflict between Jing Yan and the Song Family had ended, but the incident of Jing Yan visiting the Song Family alone two days ago, killing the Song Family Patriarch Song Zhongshan and several Song Family elders, was still brewing within Haofeng City.

This incident might be the biggest event in Haofeng City in recent centuries.

Everyone was talking about it eagerly!

And during these two days, Clan Chief Zhang Yibing was all smiles and full of vigor!

Because, when Jing Yan left the Song Family Mansion two days ago, he was walking with Zhang Yibing and other members of the Zhang Family.

At that time, countless eyes saw this scene, thus everyone knew about Jing Yan’s connection with the Zhang Family.

So over these two days, the leaders of Haofeng City’s forces, many of them quietly visited Zhang Yibing.

Their attitude made Zhang Yibing ecstatic.

Even clan chiefs of families comparable to the Zhang Family adopted a somewhat humble demeanor before him.

And this was nothing!

The most important was the Liu Family!

The Liu Family Patriarch invited Zhang Yibing over, engaging in very polite and cordial conversation, indirectly inquiring about Jing Yan’s identity.

However, Zhang Yibing didn’t know much, only able to tell Patriarch Liu that Jing Yan was a student of Dao Yi Academy and had an extraordinary relationship with his deceased Zhang Min.
