Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 235: Shen Haoranʼs Trouble

”Zhang Fei?”

Shen Xueyi nodded to Yan Luanʼer and Xi Zihua. ”Yuʼer went with the real Zhang Fei to somewhere else, but I donʼt know where he took her, and he told me that he would bring her back in a month.”

”What do you mean by the real Zhang Fei, Mistress?”

”Have you guys still not noticed anything different about him?” Both women answered Shen Xueyiʼs question with a shake of their heads. ”The Zhang Fei in our sect is his clone, and the real him lives somewhere else, but I guess that he lives in the western region, precisely in the Chu Clan, especially since Liu Hua and the Chu Sisters are his wives.”

Yan Luanʼer and Xi Zihua scowled upon hearing this, particularly because they had encountered several cultivators who possessed clone techniques, but none of them were able to create clones that were exact replicas of the original.

Shen Xueyi then continued. ”At first, I also didnʼt realize that it was Zhang Feiʼs clone, especially since it was completely similar to his real body, including his aura and cultivation. However, my mother and grandmother noticed his clone, and they told me about it.”

”What do you think is the purpose of him leaving his clone here, Zihua?” Yan Luanʼer inquired, turning to face Xi Zihua.

”What else?” Xi Zihua responded with a shrug. ”Since our sect is a dual cultivation sect, Zhang Fei must be looking for dual cultivation partners, and he has already found several, including Shi Yue. However, I find it strange that his clone should have no connection with his real body, and he could not possibly absorb their yin qi, leading me to believe that his actions were in vain.”

Unfortunately, Xi Zihua did not know anything about Zhang Feiʼs demon body double, which was completely different compared to ordinary clone techniques, and all his clones were connected to each other like a bee hive, including their mind and vision.

Shen Xueyi then said to them. ”All right, you two donʼt need to think about Zhang Fei, and you guys can start preparing everything. That way, everything will be ready when the others come out of their seclusion, and we will immediately start cleaning up Shen Haoranʼs loyalists.”

”Yes, Mistress.”

After they left, Shen Xueyi also left her private room, but she saw from a distance that Shen Haoran was walking down the stairs towards the bottom of the tower. ʼHe will find out about his sonʼs condition soon, which will make him panic, and he will definitely make a scene. However, I have prepared a precaution for that, so I donʼt need to worry about it.ʼ

Before long, Shen Haoran had arrived in front of Shen Tianyuʼs seclusion room, but his expression turned to shock as he saw his son acting like a horny pig, and he kept rubbing his dick on the floor, which made it bleed quite a lot. ”What the hell is going on here? Why is he acting so disgusting?”

Shen Haoran immediately moved to his sonʼs side and touched his back. He used his qi to examine his inner body, but he discovered nothing unusual.

In the end, Shen Haoran rendered his son unconscious, assisted him in dressing, and escorted him to the medical hall. Moments later, he had arrived at the medical hall, and he immediately informed Zhiyu Fengzhi about the symptoms his son was experiencing before ordering him to check on Shen Tianyuʼs condition.

Unfortunately, Zhiyu Fengzhi also could not find any abnormalities in Shen Tianyuʼs body, so he decided to check his subconscious and soul space. However, he still couldnʼt find any abnormalities in either of them, so he decided to go out before talking to Shen Haoran. ”I donʼt know what happened to your son, but if what you said before is true, I suspect that he has fallen under someoneʼs hypnosis.

Otherwise, he wouldnʼt have done such a thing, but Iʼm not sure who was the mastermind behind it or what kind of hypnosis that person gave him.”

”Hypnosis?” Shen Haoran frowned upon hearing that. ”Is there anyone in this sect with such an ability? Moreover, the people from my Shen clan are constantly monitoring every corner of the room, ensuring that no one else could sneak in under their watch. Additionally, the underground area is equipped with special formations.

Zhiyu Fengzhi shook his head at him. ”As far as I can remember, no one in your clan or in this sect has the ability for hypnosis, so I think the perpetrator might be an outsider. However, I donʼt know how that person managed to sneak in there, and that person was probably helped by an insider.”

”Hmm?” Shen Haoran fell into deep thought after hearing Zhiyu Fengzhiʼs answer, but he felt that it was impossible for people from his clan to help an outsider harm his son, and all sorts of questions arose in his mind. ʼWho exactly is the mastermind behind my sonʼs misfortune? Why did that person target him? Could this matter have something to do with Shen Yu?

Could it be that Shen Xueyi assisted that person in doing something to him? Whatʼs her purpose in doing this to him?ʼ

Zhiyu Fengzhi then said to Shen Haoran. ”Anyway, you can leave your son here so I can monitor his condition, and I will let you know immediately if I find anything on him.”

”All right, I entrust my son to you, and I hope you can cure him as soon as possible, especially since his wedding is coming soon.” After he said that, Shen Haoran immediately returned to the tower and went to the lowest floor, which was Shen Yuʼs seclusion room.

When he arrived, Shen Haoran saw Shen Yu seriously cultivating in the middle of the artificial lake, so he decided not to disturb her and left the place directly.

Unfortunately, he didnʼt realize that the person he saw wasnʼt the real her, especially considering that the real her was still training in the training room with Zhang Fei and the others and that Shen Huangʼs item had created an illusion of her.

After that, Shen Haoran went to meet some of his loyalists and ordered them to keep an eye on Shen Xueyiʼs movements, and he also ordered them to find the mastermind behind Shen Tianyuʼs misfortune.

On a hill far from the city, two men and five women were watching over a small village a little way ahead of them, but one of them seemed annoyed, especially since three of their group were being too laid-back and preferred to have fun by themselves. ”Hey, Yin Tong! Weʼre here to capture those bandits, so you better focus on our mission!”

”Hahaha!” Upon hearing that, Yin Tong burst into laughter. ”Are you jealous of us, Dongʼer? If thatʼs true, then you should quickly choose your partner, and you can have fun with your partner later. If my memory serves me correctly, Yuan Zheng and Wang Jie have a deep affection for you, so itʼs up to you to choose one of them, lest you end up as an old maid for the rest of your life.”

”Moreover, weʼve been waiting here for two days, but those bandits still havenʼt returned to their village, so we canʼt do anything for now.” Ni Weiwei spoke casually, but the mocking smile on her face made Lin Dongʼer furious. ”Besides, waiting is the most boring thing in life, so itʼs okay if we have some fun, right?”

Unlike them, Yun Kexin didnʼt say anything, but from her expression, it was clear that she wanted to complete their mission as soon as possible, so they could get back to their sect.

”Tch!” Lin Dongʼer gritted her teeth in anger at their behavior, and she wanted to scold them. However, Mu Lingshu immediately stopped her with a shake of her head, especially since her anger would be in vain. ”Do you think those bandits are looting other villages?”

Mu Lingshu nodded and replied to Lin Dongʼer. ”There is such a possibility, so we can only wait patiently for now, and we will immediately make our move once they return to this village.”

”Sigh.” Lin Dongʼer let out a heavy sigh before turning to the other two members. ”Have you received any news about Lian Chengyu, Xia Bing?”

”Yes.” Xia Bing replied with a nod. ”Chengyu contacted me yesterday and told me that Elder Zhiyu had released him, so I asked him to follow us here, and he should arrive tonight or tomorrow morning.”

”Thatʼs good.”

Nanxuan Luoyue suddenly asked Lin Dongʼer. ”What do you think will happen to Lan Zhen? Will they kill her?”

”Why do you still care about that woman?” Lin Dongʼer returned the question with a frown. ”I know that youʼve been friends with Lan Zhen for a long time, but her Lan Clan is one of the vassals of the Pang Clan, so you shouldnʼt think of her anymore.

However, I heard from my father that Mistress Shen forbade them from executing her, especially since it would only alert her grandfather, and the seniors in the demon cave still needed his help to strengthen the seal, so they decided to lock her up for the time being.”

”I see.” Nanxuan Luoyue nodded in understanding, but her expression was filled with disappointment, especially since she and Lan Zhen had been friends since they first joined the Yin-Yang Pavilion.

”Anyway, do you know anything about Zhang Fei?” As she turned to Xia Bing, Lin Dongʼerʼs expression turned strange upon hearing the name, and it did not escape his and Nanxuan Luoyueʼs eyes. ”I heard that you went with Elder Lin to pick up my two cousins in that village, and I also heard that he was the one who saved them.”

Mu Lingshu smiled amusedly after seeing her friendʼs expression, but she did not like to meddle in other peopleʼs business, so she did not say anything about the matter.

Lin Dongʼer took a deep breath before answering Xia Bing. ”You are right that Zhang Fei saved them, but I do not know him, so you do not need to ask me about him. If you have any business with him, you can go directly to our sect later. However, you better not bring Luoyue to see him, or he will snatch her away from you.”

After hearing that, Nanxuan Luoyue questioned Lin Dongʼer with suspicion. ”Why do I feel that you hate him so much? Did he try to seduce you before?”

”Humph!” Lin Dongʼer snorted and turned her face to the side, as she had no intention of answering Nanxuan Luoyueʼs question, but her attitude made her and Xia Bing sure of it. They then turned to Mu Lingshu, who immediately shook her head at them, especially since she had not witnessed Zhang Fei [1]ʼs action towards her.

*Drap... Drap...*

Suddenly, they heard the heavy footsteps of beasts from afar, prompting them to immediately use their senses to check that direction. Their excitement was heightened, especially since the bandits had finally returned to their village. Their expressions immediately turned serious as they observed the bandits, including Yin Tong and Ni Weiwei, who had been acting so relaxed.

”So, when are we going to make our move?”

Yin Tong was the first to answer Xia Bing. ”Based on their condition, they appeared to have had a fierce battle before, and many of them are quite badly injured. However, we are unable to do so at this time due to the strength and quantity of their riding beasts, making it challenging for the seven of us to fight them.”

”Look at that guy; he should be their leader.” Ni Weiwei spoke as she gestured toward the bald man riding a leopard in front. ”It seems the person who proposed this mission gave us incorrect information about them, as I canʼt sense his cultivation, which should have reached the soul realm.”

”Thatʼs true.” Lin Dongʼer nodded with a serious expression. ”I think it would be better if we aborted our mission, especially since thereʼs no way we can defeat their leader even if we work together to gang up on him.”

Xia Bing and the others nodded in agreement with Lin Dongʼer, particularly considering that Yin Tong was the strongest among them. However, his cultivation was still in the 8-Star Core realm, while most of them were in the middle-stage Core realm.

Mu Lingshu unexpectedly received a voice transmission, prompting her to immediately inform Lin Dongʼer through voice transmission. ʼZhang Fei [1] contacted me and inquired about our whereabouts. He is currently en route to this area to carry out some missions that arenʼt far from here. Furthermore, he is not traveling alone; his partners are accompanying him. How about I ask him to help us?

Lin Dongʼer turned to Mu Lingshu with a frown, but she was eager to capture those bandits, so she immediately agreed with her idea. ʼAll right, you can contact him now and ask him to come here as soon as possible.ʼ ”Guys!

There are some core disciples from our sect on their way to this region, and Lingshu has already asked them to come here to help us, so we will wait for them to arrive before thinking about our next plans.”
