Chapter 1: Zhang Family's Sickly Child

  Although Ouyang Qianyun has left, Zhang Cheng's restless heart did not calm down because of this, but instead became more and more disturbed.

  He had thought that his anxiety was due to Ouyang Qianyun's impending departure, but at this moment, he found it wasn't so. Moreover, he felt as if something big was about to happen.

  He shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and walked out of Shaoyang City alone. He came to a small stream near Shaoyang City, where his sister Zhang Xin often practiced boxing.

  He often leaned against this big tree to watch Zhang Xin practice boxing, but today Zhang Xin didn't come.

  At this moment, Zhang Cheng was leaning against the big tree by the creek as usual, with his hands supporting his head, looking at the distant high mountains and the cloudless sky.

  However, Zhang Cheng's heart did not calm down due to the quiet surroundings, but instead became more and more chaotic, so much so that he couldn't even take a short nap.

  "What's going on?" Zhang Cheng sat up again, looking at the slowly flowing stream, and couldn't help but think about it, because he knew that this feeling couldn't have appeared for no reason.

  "Hey, you're quite the elegant one, aren't you?" However, just as Zhang Cheng was trying to figure out what exactly was making him so annoyed, a very discordant and mocking voice echoed from afar.

  Before Zhang Cheng could react, he felt a blur in front of him, and then a handsome man appeared before his eyes.

  "It's you, aren't you already..."

  "Are you going to ask 'Haven't I already left?' right?!" This person was indeed Hua Cheng, who had returned after leaving. Without waiting for Zhang Cheng to respond, he directly said: "I heard that you are my junior sister's fiancé, is that true?"

  Zhang Cheng heard Hua Qiang's words and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled by his meaning. He replied, "That's right, I am Qianyun's fiancé. What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

  "Haha, of course there's a problem, because I feel that you're not worthy of my little sister. In my eyes, you're nothing but a toad who wants to eat swan meat." Huaying said with a sly smile.

  "Haha, I'm not a toad, am I? As long as Qianyun doesn't think I'm a toad, that's all that matters!" Zhang Cheng smiled, completely unfazed by Hua Qing's sarcasm.

  "Hmm, I'm telling you, I came today on behalf of my junior sister to tell you that from now on, don't bother her again. She doesn't want to see you anymore. I hope you understand, you two are no longer the same kind of people." Huaying said seriously.

  "Huh?" Zhang Cheng's body suddenly stiffened as he listened to Hua Qiang's words, and he turned his head to glance at Hua Qiang, seeming to understand something. Then, smiling, he said: "If Qian Yun really thinks that way, then let her say it herself. I think the things between me and her in the past don't need an outsider like you to intervene."

  "You little brat, don't think you can just refuse a toast and get away with it. Let me tell you, you'd better stay far away from my little sister, or else I won't be polite to you." Huaying said menacingly.

  "Your junior sister?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Cheng furrowed his brow, feeling somewhat amused in his heart. He couldn't help but say: "Indeed, she is now your junior sister, but don't forget that she is also my fiancée and will be my woman in the future. And you're just her senior brother, with no relation to her whatsoever. Do you think you have the qualifications to speak to me like this?"

  "Hmph, I may not have the qualifications, but I can easily kill you. If I were to kill you here, probably no one would know it was me who did it. Do you think your little junior sister would spend her whole life guarding your dead body?" Hua Qing said coldly, somewhat annoyed that Zhang Cheng ignored his threat and instead turned it back on him.

  "Kill me?" Zhang Cheng was taken aback, then smiled and said: "If I'm not mistaken, you so-called immortals have a pact that prohibits you from laying hands on ordinary people like us. If you kill me, although no one will know, but once this matter is exposed, your fate won't be much better than mine."

  "Wow, I didn't think you knew so much, but unfortunately, do you think others would bother me for the sake of an ordinary person? So, even if I killed you, it would be a waste of your life, no one would know, and no one would help you find trouble with me." Huaying threatened: "However, you don't have to worry, I'm not a fan of killing people, so I'll give you an opportunity. As long as you agree to leave Ouyang Qianyun and cancel your engagement with her, I can spare your life."

  "I appreciate your kindness, but I forgot to tell you that not long ago, I met my master, who is a high-ranking expert in the Dan Dao Sect. He will be coming for me soon. If you kill me, I'm sure he'll avenge my death." Zhang Cheng knew that if he didn't reveal some background information, it wouldn't just be a simple scare tactic.

  So he told him about the Dan Tao Sect, hoping to make him wary and at least not dare to kill himself for the time being.

  "What's with the Dan Dao Sect?" Hua Jing's expression changed, but after glancing at Zhang Cheng, he said: "Heh heh, you little brat is quite clever, I almost got deceived by you. But do you think it's that easy to join the Dan Dao Sect? That's one of the top ten sects in the cultivation world, not something a weakling like you can join."

  "That's not necessarily true, have you heard of Dan Chenzi? He is my master." Zhang Cheng learned from Hua Qing that the Dan Dao Sect was one of the top ten sects in the cultivation world, and he couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement. At the same time, he thought to himself, if Hua Qing knew about the Dan Dao Sect, then he should also know about Dan Chenzi's reputation.

  In this way, he should be wary of Dan Dust and will not harm himself.

  "This kid can't be serious, right?" Hua Jing had naturally heard of Dan Chenzi, who was a renowned figure in the entire cultivation world and the second most powerful person in the Dan Dao Sect, with strength that was not ordinary.

  If these are false, then there's nothing to it, but if Zhang Cheng is telling the truth, then not just him, even the entire Bi Xia sect can't afford to provoke this little kid.

  Although he thought Zhang Cheng was lying from the bottom of his heart, however, he saw that what Zhang Cheng said was reasonable and logical, and he could even mention the name of Dan Chenzi, which wasn't something that could be casually fabricated.

  After all, Dan Chenzi was very famous in the cultivation world, but few people knew him in the secular world. He could say it out loud, which meant that he had really seen Dan Chenzi. This also means that what Zhang Cheng said was true.

  At this thought, Hua's heart suddenly trembled violently, and his back began to feel cold, while also breaking out in a cold sweat.

  "What to do? Are we just going to let this kid go?" Hua Cheng had already lost the will to fight, after all, neither Dan Dao Zong nor Dan Chen Zi were people he could afford to offend.

  But, thinking again, today I have already torn my face with this kid, in the future if he becomes successful, then he will definitely not let me go, and his family has already given a death order, must take over Ouyang Qianyun...

  As he thought of this, Hua Cheng couldn't help but glance at Zhang Cheng again, his heart filled with unwillingness. However, just as he was about to give up, a flash of inspiration struck him, and a sinister plan rose to the surface of his mind.

  "How about it, have you figured it out?" Zhang Cheng smiled and said: "I advise you to leave, rest assured that today's matter I will treat as if it never happened, as long as you don't come after me again, I won't go looking for trouble with you."

  "Are you looking for trouble? Is that possible?" Zhang Cheng added in his heart, the reason he said that was because he was afraid of being killed and silenced, even if Danchenzi could really help him avenge, he would not survive.

  So, for now, the most important thing is to survive, only by surviving, there will be a chance for revenge.

  "Haha, not bad, I can't kill you, but you've forgotten one thing, that is, you can commit suicide, hehe, this idea shouldn't be bad, right?" After finishing speaking, Hua Jing didn't give him a chance to speak, and suddenly appeared behind Zhang Cheng, directly grabbing his collar and lifting him up.

  "What do you want to do?" Zhang Cheng saw that Hua Qiang had actually taken action and was immediately panicked. He didn't think this kid would really dare to kill him.

  "What do you want to do? Didn't I tell you before, go kill yourself, haha, gone." Hua Cheng coldly smiled and then dragged Zhang Chenghua away, disappearing into the distance in an instant.
