Chapter 86: The Change in Shao Yang City

  Wǎ sè sè, still four collections short of one thousand, looks like I'll have to update tonight, okay, since I said it, I'll do it, 11 pm tonight, add one more chapter.

  Zhang Cheng did not sympathize with Zhang Yang's experience, because this was his own doing and he was lucky to be alive. However, after hearing about Hua Qiang's situation, his brow furrowed involuntarily.

  To be honest, he now regrets it and regrets why he didn't kill Hua Ying directly at that time.

  As Zhang Yang said, this Huajing might have been noticed by other sects, and at this moment, he still doesn't know which sect it is.

  It can be said that he is now in the light, while Hua Jing is in the dark. He doesn't know what kind of conspiracy this kid will concoct behind his back, which makes him a bit worried. After all, he's not alone now, he has family and Ouyang Qianyun.

  With this guy's temperament, even if he doesn't harm himself, he will definitely target his relatives around him, so he has to guard against it.

  However, fortunately, Huajing has just left for a short time. Even if he starts to cultivate again, it will take at least several years to recover. In other words, he still has more than ten years to prepare.

  "In five years, at most five years my cultivation will reach the late stage of foundation building or even the golden core stage. At that time, I'll be able to refine spiritual pills. As long as I vigorously develop my family and make it so that ordinary sects can't compete with us, then he won't find it easy to deal with them." Zhang Cheng thought to himself.

  However, he also knew that several years did not have an exact time limit, it could be five years or three to four years.

  After all, things are always changing, who knows what kind of strange encounter he will have in the future, or if he gets a lot of help from elixirs, then it won't take long for his cultivation to be fully restored.

  So, it's high time to enhance the overall strength of the family.

  "Zhang Cheng, don't think too much about it, I think that Huajing was just talking nonsense..." Ouyang Qianyun knew what Zhang Cheng was worried about, but she had wanted to say something to comfort him, yet in the end, she herself didn't have the confidence.

  After all, Hua's personality is proud and arrogant. Having suffered such a huge blow this time, he will definitely not let it go easily.

  "Don't worry, I'm fine. Besides, what's there to be afraid of? If anyone should be afraid, it should be him." Zhang Cheng gently scratched Ouyang Qianyun's small nose, feeling a bit amused in his heart. This was the first time he had seen someone use a comforting reason that couldn't even convince themselves.

  "Is everything really okay?" Ouyang Qianyun felt that Zhang Cheng was somewhat insincere, so she couldn't help but ask.

  "It's nothing, but I'm a bit worried about you. This kid, even if he joins the top ten sects, can't do anything to me, so I'm worried he'll choose to deal with you." Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng handed the spiritual symbol that Dan Chenzi gave him to Ouyang Qianyun and said: "Girl, there's a sealed sword energy inside, I've already used one, there are two more left, take it, in case that kid comes to bother you, just give it to him!"

  "No, Zhang Cheng brother, I don't want it." Ouyang Qianyun hastily declined: "This is what your master gave you for self-defense, if you give it to me then what will you do? You'd better keep it for yourself!"

  "Don't worry, I'll be back at the Dan Tao Sect soon. With my master there, nothing can go wrong. It's just that I'm worried about you, so take this and it will give me some peace of mind." Zhang Cheng replied.

  "But..."

  Zhang Cheng saw that Ouyang Qianyun still wanted to say something, so he directly stuffed the Ling symbol into her hand and then carried her horizontally onto the flying sword. After that, he also jumped up.

  "Wait, don't leave me here, I'll die!" Zhang Yang struggled to get up, but his body had not fully recovered from the injuries despite being nourished by the Rejuvenating Pellet.

  Furthermore, his dantian was crippled and his cultivation was completely lost, so he didn't even have the strength to stand up. If he stayed here, he would undoubtedly die.

  "What does this have to do with me?" Zhang Cheng glanced at him and then directly controlled the flying sword, transforming it into a golden light that disappeared into the horizon.

  "Zhang Cheng, you're really just going to leave him there?" Ouyang Qianyun couldn't help but feel a little sympathy, although she usually disliked Zhang Yang, after all they were fellow disciples.

  "Qianyun, don't sympathize with this guy. You have no idea, his heart is even blacker than Huajing's. He has harmed many sisters and it's already a favor to him that he wasn't killed. And you're still trying to save him? It's really surprising that you can think of such a thing." Ma Qiu saw Zhang Yang's appearance and couldn't help but want to applaud, thinking that she would actually try to rescue him.

  "Hey, Ma Shi Jie, he's already miserable enough, don't gloat over his misfortune!" Shen Ying also felt a bit unbearable.

  "You're all too kind-hearted!" Ma Qiu looked at Shen Ying with a bad temper and said, "Have you forgotten about Ning Shui? She liked him so much, but he actually drove her to commit suicide. Don't you think Ning Shui was pitiful?"

  "... " As soon as they heard Ning Shui, Ouyang Qianyun and Shen Ying both fell silent.

  "People can be kind, but they cannot blindly be kind. You can pity others, but before you do, you need to take a good look at whether or not that person is worth your pity. Someone like Zhang Yang doesn't even deserve your sympathy!" Ma Qiu said with an air of superiority.

  "I didn't expect Sister Ma to be so young and yet have such profound insights!" Zhang Cheng sighed, "However, I deeply agree with what you just said."

  "That's... " Ma Qiu heard the first half and thought Zhang Cheng was praising her, but as she listened on, it didn't sound right, so she said: "What do you mean? What's with 'I'm not very old', are you trying to say you're really old or something? I think you're only 13 or 14 years old yourself, and yet you have the nerve to talk like that."

  "Hehe, I just said that... I won't say anything else, you guys chat, go ahead and chat!" Zhang Cheng only then realized he had acted too mature again.

  The three women didn't say anything more to Zhang Cheng, but instead started chatting about topics among themselves. As for Zhang Cheng, he sat leisurely in front of his sword, focusing on his cultivation.

  Time flies when you're practicing, and before I knew it, half a day had passed with just a few moves of the technique.

  Although Shao Yang City was still very far from Bi Xia Sect, under the power of Fei Jian's abnormal tool, they quickly returned here.

  However, when they arrived near Shao Yang City, only Zhang Cheng and Ouyang Qianyun were left on the flying sword, Shen Ying and Ma Qiu had already gone down to the capital city of Hua Xia State, Yanjing.

  They arrived at the outskirts of Shaoyang City and landed in a deserted area, then Zhang Cheng put away his flying sword and took Ouyang Qianyun's hand to head into the city.

  When they arrived at the gate of Shaoyang City, Zhang Cheng stopped and looked at this familiar city gate. His heart was filled with emotion: "Time really flies, it's already been two and a half years."

  "Yes, time flies so fast. When I left, it seemed like just yesterday!" Ou Yang Qian Yun couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

  "Come on, let's go back and meet your future father-in-law!" Zhang Cheng pulled Ouyang Qianyun along and headed towards the city.

  Ouyang Qianyun didn't say a word, her small face slightly red as she followed behind Zhang Cheng.

  However, their appearance immediately caught the attention of many people, and many people recognized Zhang Cheng at a glance. After all, he was once a well-known sickly person in Shaoyang City.

  Adding to that was Zhang Cheng's sudden transformation more than two years ago, where he instantly defeated the sons of the Li and Wang families and became a disciple of the highly respected Xian Shi, further increasing his reputation.

  Now, in all of Shaoyang City you may not know who Zhang Fang is, but if you don't know who Zhang Cheng is, then someone will give you the middle finger and say to you: "You're out!"

  So, as soon as Zhang Chengyi appeared, he was recognized by everyone, and many people only recognized Zhang Cheng but not Ou Yang Qianyun behind him, which shows how great Zhang Cheng's reputation is in Shao Yang City.

  "Third Master is back!" The gatekeeper standing in front of the gate immediately gave Zhang Cheng a big bow after recognizing him, and respectfully called out this sentence.

  "Hmm, back again." Zhang Cheng was startled by the noise of this gatekeeper, and he seemed to be unfamiliar with the guy.

  It wasn't just the gatekeeper; other passersby who saw Zhang Cheng also stopped to greet him, which left Zhang somewhat perplexed.
