Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 284: Zhang Lingxueʼs Intervention

After they waited for some time, Ye Qianyu finally arrived at the underwater cave, and she immediately checked the protective formation that was blocking Yue Lanxin and the others from entering the deserted valley.

Despite her old age, Ye Qianyu herself had a youthful face due to her high cultivation, which was already at the 10-Star Earth Realm. Her appearance was no less attractive and sexy than that of the Hai Twins, but her body was a bit curvaceous and covered in a long blue dress.

She has beautiful ocean-blue hair and eyes; she also has a long neck and legs, nicely defined curves, and perfectly rounded breasts around E-Cup.

After examining it for some time, Ye Qianyu spoke to Yue Lanxin. ”I donʼt know where this protective formation came from, but it is indeed powerful. It can even obstruct my senses from looking inside, so youʼve made the right decision not to try to break through it.”

”Yes.” Yue Lanxin nodded to Ye Qianyu. ”I suspected that this formation had a counterattack mechanism, so I contacted you immediately. Anyway, can you dispel this formation, Elder Ye? All the herbs in the deserted valley are the main source for increasing the strength of our disciples, and we will suffer a significant loss if we canʼt get in there anymore.”

”Thatʼs true.” Ye Qianyu replied with a nod of agreement, and she observed the formation once more before trying to dispel it. However, as soon as she attempted to dispel it, it shook violently, activating the counterattack mechanisms, prompting her to immediately stop.

”I have been studying formation arrays for a long time, but I have never seen anything like this before, and the counterattack mechanism of this formation is really sensitive. Even though I only injected a little bit of my qi, it has already triggered it, and it will definitely attack me if I forcefully remove it.”

”Who do you think set up this formation, Elder Ye?”

Ye Qianyu responded to Qin Xianerʼs question with a head shake. ”As far as I can remember, no cultivator in the southern or other regions has the ability to create a formation as powerful as this one, and I think the person who created it probably came from the Central Region.”

”Central region?” All three inner disciples gasped in shock.

”Yes.” Ye Qianyu nodded before continuing. ”The Di Clan resides in the central region, and they focus on formation arrays, so their members are the best formation array masters in our realm, especially the young master of the clan. Even the formation that sealed the demon portal was the creation of their ancestors, so you guys should already understand their mastery in that field, right?”

After hearing that, Qin Xianer and the other two female disciples nodded repeatedly, especially considering that the formation in the demon portal had protected them from the demon invaders for hundreds or thousands of years.

”So-”

Suddenly, the giant octopus, who was none other than Polypus, swam into the underwater cave, causing the three female inner disciples to feel frightened by his true form. The three immediately hid behind their senior sister.

However, Ye Qianyu acted swiftly by taking out a blue pearl and throwing it towards Polypus, which immediately expanded before enclosing him within it.

ʼCrap! How could these humans find this place?ʼ Polypus inwardly screamed in panic as he used his tentacles to free himself, but Ye Qianyuʼs pearl artifact was too strong for him, and his efforts were in vain. ʼShit! That woman is so strong! I have to contact my big brother, or I will die in their hands.ʼ

Ye Qianyu immediately approached Polypus and inquired. ”Can you understand my words?”

After he finished contacting Zhang Fei, Polypus immediately returned to his human form before answering Ye Qianyuʼs question. ”Yes, I can understand you, but please let me go first. I have never attacked or killed any of you humans, and I live here because itʼs very comfortable for me.”

”No.” Ye Qianyu immediately refused Polypus. ”If you want me to let you go, then you have to answer a few questions of mine first. Who was responsible for setting up the formation? How did the person find this place? The people of our sect discovered this place many years ago, so it belongs to us, and we often come here to pick herbs in the valley.

But now, the formation is blocking us from entering, so I want to know the identity of that person.”

”What proof do you have that your sect owns this place, Aunty?” The muscles on Ye Qianyuʼs forehead bulged as soon as Polypus addressed her as an aunt, but she still held herself back from attacking him. The valleyʼs herbs are valuable, so your sect should have protected it with a formation if they owned it.

When I discovered this location a few months ago, I found no protections, nor did I encounter any members of your sect during my stay. Doesnʼt that mean this place is open to the public? Since no one owned this place, my big brother decided to set up a protective formation to prevent other cultivators from finding it, and my big sister also frequently visited to pick herbs.”

Ye Qianyu scowled at Polypusʼs response, but she also recognized their sectʼs error in not establishing a protective formation, particularly given its large size and the challenge of creating a formation that could encompass the entire area. ”Who are your big brother and big sister?”

”Aunty, Iʼm sure youʼll be scared if you hear their names, especially my big sisterʼs name, since she came from the central region.” Polypusʼ answer shocked Ye Qianyu, Yue Lanxin, and the three female inner disciples. ”My big brotherʼs name is Zhang Fei, and my big sisterʼs name is Zhang Lingxue.”

”What?” Unlike the three female inner disciples, Ye Qianyu and Yue Lanxin screamed in shock upon hearing the two names, and they were naturally familiar with their names.

”Is your big brother really called Zhang Fei?” Yue Lanxin inquired as she moved beside Ye Qianyu.

Polypus was a little confused by Yue Lanxinʼs question, and he turned to ask her. ”Do you know my big brother, big sister?”

”Yes.” Yue Lanxin nodded to Polypus. ”Actually, I have never met Zhang Fei in person, but two elders of my sect are familiar with him. Moreover, his little sister, Zhang Lin, is one of our sectʼs disciples, and she joined us yesterday.”

”I see.” Polypus nodded in understanding before telling them again. ”Honestly, I met Big Brother when he first came here to rescue disciples from the Yin-Yang Pavilion, and I kidnapped them because they wanted to kill me in order to complete their mission. At first, I thought he wanted to kill me, but he didnʼt do that and asked me to take care of the herbs in the valley instead.

Since then, he has set up that protective formation, and no one can go in there without his permission, so only me and my big sister can go in now.”

”Then, what about Zhang Lingxue? What is her relationship with Zhang Fei?” Ye Qianyu had already gotten some information about him from the Hai Twins, so she knew he was not a member of the Zhang Clan, but they didnʼt tell her that he had any connection to that clan.

”Haha.” Polypus laughed at Ye Qianyuʼs question. ”Shouldnʼt that be obvious, Aunty? Big Sis Lingxue is one of my big brotherʼs wives; otherwise, he wouldnʼt have allowed her to enter the valley, right?”

Once again, Polypusʼ answer shocked Ye Qianyu and Yue Lanxin, especially since the Zhang Clan was the second-strongest clan in the central region. They were really shocked to hear the truth that Zhang Lingxue was one of Zhang Feiʼs wives, which meant she had to share him with his other wives.

Moreover, Zhang Fei himself was also the son-in-law of the Chu and Liu Clans, and both clans were powerful clans in their respective regions, so they felt that his relationship was more terrifying than the others.

While they were in shock, they suddenly heard the sound of someone jumping into the water, so they immediately turned to look at that person, who was none other than Zhang Lingxue.

Initially, Zhang Lingxue was still training in the training space. However, after listening to Polypusʼ voice transmission, Zhang Fei took her out of the training space and sent her to the deserted valley using his warp portal to take care of them.

”Why are you guys looking at me like that?” Zhang Lingxue asked with a playful look as she moved to Polypusʼ side before freeing him from the pearl that was confining him, and the pearl immediately shrank before flying back into Ye Qianyuʼs hand.

Zhang Lingxue then rubbed Polypusʼ head. ”This little guy has already told the truth to you guys, and I am indeed one of Feiʼerʼs wives.”

”Your relationship with Zhang Fei really surprised me, Lingxue.” Ye Qianyu said it with a soft sigh. ”Anyway, how could you arrive here so soon from the central region?”

”Hehe.” Zhang Lingxue chuckled at that. ”In fact, Iʼm not in the central region, and Iʼm with my husband in this region, so he sent me here as soon as this little guy told him about the arrival of the five of you in this place. Anyway, your niece is also his future wife, especially since your brother and sister-in-law have already approved of their relationship.”

”Huh?” Ye Qianyu looked at Zhang Lingxue with a look of disbelief. ”Are you serious? Since when did Ye Lian have a relationship with Zhang Fei? Furthermore, she has been Gu Zhanʼs fiancée for a considerable amount of time.

”I see.” Zhang Lingxue nodded in understanding. ”It appears that Yan Huanʼer has not shared the information with anyone, including you, but Gu Zhan has been dead for a long time. He died due to his own stupidity as he attacked Ye Lian, which led to my husbandʼs contract beast swallowing him alive.”

Not only was Ye Qianyu shocked by Zhang Lingxueʼs confession, but Yue Lanxin was also shocked after she heard it, especially since Gu Zhan was one of the best talents of her generation.

Ye Qianyu immediately contacted her sister-in-law to confirm the truth of Zhang Lingxueʼs words, and Yan Huanʼer promptly informed her that Gu Zhan had indeed died at the hands of Boitata. Aside from that, her sister-in-law confirmed Ye Lianʼs relationship with Zhang Fei, but they would only get married after Ye Yuan returned from the demon cave.

”Is Gu Zhan really dead, Elder Ye?” Yue Lanxin inquired with a look of disappointment.

”Yes.” Ye Qianyu then told Yue Lanxin about the news she got from Yan Huanʼer, causing her to let out a heavy sigh. ”Anyway, could you please ask your husband to allow us to enter the valley? The valley herbs have helped us grow our sect for years, and without them, it will decline.”

”Actually, you donʼt need to ask, as my husband is willing to share the herbs in the valley with your sect, especially since Linʼer and Xingʼer are your sect disciples, and his relationship with the Hai Twins is also excellent, so he will not allow your sect to decline.” After hearing that, Ye Qianyu and the others sighed with relief, and Zhang Lingxue turned to Polypus.

”Your big brother allowed their sect to enter the valley, but only certain people can go in, so you must watch them.”

”Yes, Big Sister.” Polypus replied with a nod of understanding.

After that, Zhang Lingxue led Ye Qianyu and the others into the valley to pick some herbs that they needed for their cultivation, so Yue Lanxin and the three female inner disciples directly selected and picked them. However, they do not pick in large quantities, and they only pick the amount they need.

”You should warn those three inner disciples not to tell anyone about our previous conversation or about this place.” Ye Qianyu immediately turned to Zhang Lingxue. ”My husband doesnʼt like people to pry into his personal affairs, let alone if they spread his secrets, and he will definitely do something to them if that happens.”

”All right, I will definitely forbid them strictly, and they wonʼt dare to say anything to others.” Ye Qianyu immediately agreed with Zhang Lingxue, especially after she remembered the Hai Twinsʼ story about Zhang Feiʼs actions towards You Han.

I will discuss the situation in this valley with the Hai Twins, and since your husband wants it, we might as well forbid the disciples from coming here for everyoneʼs good sake.”

”Thatʼs good.” Zhang Lingxue then told Ye Qianyu about something else. ”Anyway, Chu Youqian seems like sheʼs going to suffer, especially since sheʼs on her way to the Yin-Yang Pavilion to do something to my husband.”

”What do you mean by that? Why would Chu Youqian want to do something to Zhang Fei? Moreover, he himself is a member of the Chu Clan, so they are relatives now.” Ye Qianyu asked in confusion.
