As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Wuxian straightened his body, a cold and knowing glint flashing in his eyes. He noticed that Wei Wuxian had only just relented.

They left a small opening as bait, and some people couldn't wait to take the bait. Their behavior was really ugly!

With a look of disgust, he carried the incense holder containing the red spider lily out of the Zhang residence, pondering to himself.

"Sigh... Apart from Miss Xinyue, who's that innocent and adorable little white rabbit worth befriending in the entire Zhang family? Let's not even mention the rest."

If it weren't for my methods that made them hesitant to act, I would probably still have a share in their schemes over the next 20 years…”

Wei Wuxian wanted to get away from this chaotic and troublesome place and not bother with that tasteless Deputy Zhang.

Feng Che didn't have such a good temper. Just as the two figures were about to disappear around the corner, Feng Che turned around and saw Zhang, the adjutant, half-squatting with his buttocks sticking out, and Yin Xinyue, who didn't know what to do.

Lieutenant Zhang felt Feng Che's gaze and met his eyes. All he saw were the dark holes in the mask covering the eyes due to the distance, and he instantly felt a chill run down his spine, his skin crawling.

Lieutenant Zhang couldn't move, but he could feel the bone-chilling coldness emanating from the eyes beneath the mask, and he could almost see the wicked and mocking smile on Feng Che's face, as if he were saying...

"Look at that! What a servile and obsequious dog!"

(?' ??'?) ?roll??*~●

Yes, my little scheme was instantly seen through by Wei Wuxian and Feng Che, leaving me nowhere to hide.

Or perhaps what he just said was just a test, and he foolishly fell into the trap. Zhang, the adjutant, was regretting why he was in such a hurry. Maybe if he had just waited a little longer, he would have succeeded?

But it's too late for regrets now. There's no going back, and even if there were, he couldn't afford the consequences. His current posture is a clear indication of his clownish behavior! ↗

As Feng Che disappeared from Zhang's sight, Zhang finally knelt down, his legs stiff and unyielding.

"Oh!"

The knees slammed against the stone slabs with a loud thud, and with the aid of spiritual energy, two dents appeared on the slabs.

I don't know if "The Art of War" has any successors, but Zhang the adjutant's kneeling down really made him a grandson!

His legs and waist were numb from the shock, and he couldn't straighten up for a long time. Zhang's adjutant's eyes darkened for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. He endured the pain, pressed his knees, and thankfully, the bones weren't broken.

It won't delay our trip to the Zhang family's ancestral home, but it will hurt for ten to fifteen days. Feng Che is constantly reminding Zhang's adjutant that this is an injured leg, so he should take it easy and not make it lame!

( ̄y▽ ̄)~* Cover your mouth and snicker

Zhang Dafoye is on the verge of death... Wei Wuxian could understand Zhang's actions, but he still despised them; this behavior seemed all too familiar.

Moreover, not helping might cause resentment, but why should Wei Wuxian help?

Given Zhang's identity as a member of the Qilin clan, it's impossible that he didn't know about the Zhang family's life-or-death situation. Wei Wuxian had just said he was leaving when he tried to morally blackmail him into leading the way for free. Where did he get the nerve!

Wei Wuxian was not only a bloodline inheritor but also a cultivator; everyone in Changsha knew that his kindness in saving Madam Hong had already caused him "backlash."

It's causing quite a stir; everyone's saying that if this Jade-Faced Yama violates the heavenly rules again and incurs further karmic retribution, he'll die quickly!

Lieutenant Zhang himself was from a branch of the Qilin clan, and his voluntary following of Qiongqi was a matter of kinship. He held Zhuque in great awe, partly due to the suppression of his bloodline and partly due to his own insecurity.

During the last Nine Gates Conference, Zhang Qishan extended an olive branch to Wei Wuxian, inviting him to join the Nine Gates.

Wei Wuxian only gave him a verbal warning before going off to socialize with the other leaders of the Nine Gates, leaving him out of the conversation!

The heads of the Nine Gates rarely get a moment of leisure; only the miserable Zhang Dafoye is handling official business!

?? (??  ̄?? ̄? )?? ??

Zhang Qishan: True heartbreak isn't about making a scene...

However, Wei Wuxian wouldn't believe this idea was without Zhang Lieutenant's instigation. Qiongqi was trying to drag Zhuque down to be on equal footing, or even to be subordinate to him.

He will not agree; it's utterly against the will of Heaven! ↗

(┙>∧<)┙へ┻┻

For those who are not of the same lineage, submission means war!

This is something Wei Wuxian only learned after receiving the Vermilion Bird bloodline. It was the Vermilion Bird that gave Wei Wuxian his identity cover. Everyone with the bloodline knows the unspoken rules!

Pipi Xian: In that case, if, oh, I mean if, Xiao Guan and I kowtow to each other, what would happen?

??(*?????*) ??

He: I've made a mistake... Ancestor, don't do this! ↗

Σσ? ?°???)° ??

Zhang Qishan subconsciously dared not entertain such thoughts. What if it was his adjutant Zhang who suggested it?

Wei Wuxian, pureblood, fully buffed, Suzaku vs. Zhang Rishan, mixed-blood human messenger, Qilin, barely manages an equal dialogue.

Despite repeated attempts and defeats, the Zhang family remains stubborn and unyielding!

?⊙﹏☉?

Qi Tiezui and Zhang Deputy were on good terms. As a fortune teller recognized by all the members of the Nine Gates, it was impossible for him not to know that kneeling, taking one's fate, and gratitude... were all part of a powerful karmic connection.

If Lieutenant Zhang asks, our kind-hearted Master Qi will surely tell him; he's been used as a pawn without even realizing it.

Faced with a huge gap in strength, the easiest thing to do is to kneel down!

Who knows if Zhang the adjutant's kneeling was motivated by a sense of karmic retribution, thus securing Wei Wuxian's complete allegiance to the Nine Gates?

Zhang Qishan's return to the Zhang family territory will also include a free way to pass through, or perhaps Wei Wuxian's backlash will worsen, making the only Vermilion Bird easier to control?

Never underestimate the determination of a die-hard fan, especially when they are truly committed!
