The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Meeting Gao Feng Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Meeting Gao Feng Jing Yan’s puzzled eyes fell on the Ninth Elder and the Zhang Family members.

What exactly did these people from the Zhang Family mean?

They made such a grand display to have him come over, just to ask where the resources he had given to Zhang Yu came from?

But why did they all look disappointed after hearing that he was from Donglin City?

What did it matter to the Zhang Family where he was from?

Or where the resources he had given to the Dean came from?

His thoughts flashed rapidly.

“Hmm?” Suddenly, Jing Yan felt a stir in his heart.

At this moment, inside the Zhang Family’s guest room, although Zhang Yibing, the Clan Leader, and several Zhang Family elders were present, the one leading the discussion was Zhang Yu’s father, the Ninth Elder of the Zhang Family.

This probably wasn’t without reason.

Jing Yan vaguely guessed the thoughts of these people from the Zhang Family; he couldn’t help but feel like laughing.

The Zhang Family people had clearly misunderstood his actions.

Seeing that the Ninth Elder was still looking at him, Jing Yan gently shook his head and said, “Sister Zhang Min and I were friends.

When I joined Dao Yi Academy, it was Sister Zhang Min who guided me.

Sister Zhang Min’s death was also caused by me, so I feel very guilty.

Since Zhang Yu is Sister Zhang Min’s younger sister, I wanted to give her some resources as a bit of compensation.”

Jing Yan tried to explain the misunderstanding in the most diplomatic way he could.

However, it was clear that the misunderstanding among the Zhang Family members had not been completely resolved.

Because the resources Jing Yan had given to Zhang Yu were too valuable, if it was just for a little compensation, it really made it hard for the Zhang Family people to understand.

“Jing Yan, are you truly a martial artist from Donglin City?” Zhang Yibing asked, correcting his expression.

“Indeed, I am!” Jing Yan nodded.

“Alright!” Zhang Yibing and the Ninth Elder exchanged glances, their eyes filled with disappointment.

Then Zhang Yibing continued, “Zhang Yu is still young and has never left Haofeng City.

We do not plan to let her leave Haofeng City in the near future.

If you, young friend Jing Yan, want to take back those resources you gave to Zhang Yu, you certainly can.”

Hearing this, the corners of Jing Yan’s mouth twitched slightly.

His earlier guess had obviously been correct.

The Zhang Family indeed thought he had intentions toward Zhang Yu.

Those resources he had gifted to Zhang Yu, in the eyes of the Zhang Family, were probably seen as a form of bride price.

That’s why the Zhang Family asked about his background, if he had a strong backing, then the Zhang Family would probably agree to let Zhang Yu go with him.

Another thought passed, and Jing Yan also felt somewhat disheartened.

“Everyone!” Jing Yan stood up, “Those resources, I gave them to Zhang Yu, hoping she could advance to the Innate Realm sooner.”

“If there’s nothing else, I’d like to take my leave now,” Jing Yan said, his spirits dampened.

He had absolutely no other feelings toward Zhang Yu.

“Clan Leader!”

At that moment, a guard from the Zhang Family came inside.

“What is it?” Zhang Yibing asked with a frown.

“Gao Feng is outside the mansion; she wants to see the Clan Leader!” the guard said.

“Why has she come again?

Haven’t I already told her that our Zhang Family is powerless to help with their matter?” Zhang Yibing’s brows knit tighter.

“Tell Gao Feng to go back!

We, the Zhang Family, really are powerless and can’t help her,” a Zhang Family elder told the guard.

“Yes!” the guard responded, about to turn and leave.

“Gao Feng?” Jing Yan’s gaze sharpened.

The name sounded very familiar.

Could it be the Gao Feng from the Fiery Flame Adventure Team?

A thought flickered through Jing Yan’s mind.

But in this world, there must be many people named Gao Feng.

This Gao Feng who came to the Zhang Family might not be the one he knew from the Fiery Flame Adventure Team.

“Clan Leader Zhang, who is this Gao Feng you’re talking about?” Jing Yan also felt it unlikely to be such a coincidence, but he still casually asked.

“Hmm?” Zhang Yibing looked intensely at Jing Yan.

“It’s like this, I also know a female martial artist named Gao Feng,” Jing Yan smiled and said, “She is a member of an adventure team.

However, it’s probably just a coincidence.”

“Adventure team?”

“This Gao Feng indeed belongs to a low-level adventure team.

Her brother, Gao Zhan, is the leader of the team, named the Fiery Flame Adventure Team,” Zhang Yibing said.

“What?” Jing Yan was momentarily stupefied.

He truly hadn’t expected such a coincidence.

Gao Zhan and Gao Feng, the siblings, were actually in Haofeng City.

When he first met these siblings, it was in Black Wind Town near Duyang City, which was not close to Haofeng City.

“The Gao Feng that young friend Jing Yan knows, couldn’t it be this Gao Feng?” Zhang Yibing, seeing Jing Yan’s expression change, said with focus.

“The one I know is indeed this Gao Feng,” Jing Yan smiled, “Gao Feng and Gao Zhan, are both my friends.

It seems they have run into some trouble.”

“They indeed have encountered big trouble!

Gao Zhan and Gao Feng’s father once was a guard for our Zhang Family.

Therefore, if it were just a small trouble, our Zhang Family would definitely have helped them.

But now, their matter is beyond our ability to solve,” Zhang Yibing said, shaking his head helplessly.

“Clan Leader Zhang, if it’s possible, I would like to meet Gao Feng,” Jing Yan said, turning his attention.

“That can be arranged,” Zhang Yibing directed the guard who had not yet left, “Go and call Gao Feng here.”

“Yes,” the guard complied and departed.

Outside the Zhang Family mansion, Gao Feng, in a fiery red long dress, was pacing anxiously as she waited.

She knew her hopes were slim in seeking help from the Zhang Family because the people they had offended were such that even the Zhang Family would not dare to provoke lightly.

However, she really had no other options.

Within the entire Haofeng City, only the Zhang Family held a slight hope of being able to help.

The Zhang Family had already clearly refused before, and if she had any other way, she definitely would not have come to the Zhang Family a second time.

In her anxious wait, the guard returned.

Gao Feng hurried forward, her anxious eyes carrying a hint of hope.

“Gao Feng, the Clan Leader wants you to come in,” the guard said to Gao Feng.

Hearing this, Gao Feng’s eyes brightened momentarily.

Could there still be hope?

Had the Zhang Family changed their minds?

“Is Clan Leader Zhang willing to help us?” Gao Feng, stirred by her emotions, blurted out her question.

“No, that’s not it!

We have a guest who says he knows you, so he wants to meet you,” the guard shook his head and said.

Hearing the guard say this, Gao Feng’s originally excited emotions plummeted once again.

So they still don’t want to help?

Actually, Gao Feng could understand if the Zhang Family did not want to help.

Because once the Zhang Family intervened in this matter, it could likely bring disaster upon the entire Zhang Family.

For the safety of their own family, the Zhang Family was unwilling to get involved in this matter, and Gao Feng could not complain about that.

As for the Zhang Family guard’s mention of a Zhang Family guest knowing her, Gao Feng hadn’t really paid attention; her mind was just a whirl of confusion.

Unconsciously, she followed the Zhang Family guard into the mansion.
