Socially anxious me transmigrated to a world of cultivation.

Qin Yan'er looked at Pingfan with anticipation, thinking that Pingfan would understand what she meant.

The next moment, Qin Yan'er heard Pingfan say those words, and her expectations were dashed.

Pingfan ignored Qin Yan'er's disappointed expression and looked at her solemnly, waiting for her answer.

Seeing Pingfan's expression, Qin Yan'er pouted and snorted unhappily.

"Who says that joining the Qin family requires knowing about the Zhang family?"

After saying that, Qin Yan'er let out another cold snort.

"Besides, the reason I let you join the Qin family is because I think you're an interesting person, and I wanted you to keep me company."

Upon hearing this, Pingfan's lips twitched involuntarily; he hadn't expected Qin Yan'er to be so naive.

He dared to speak so bluntly. Even if he is a body cultivator, he is still a human being, and every human being has dignity.

However, thinking that Qin Yan'er might just be a simple-minded person who couldn't keep her mouth shut, Pingfan suppressed his anger.

After calming himself down, Pingfan tentatively spoke again.

"But if you get into a fight with the Zhang family in the city, you'll need to know who they are, right?"

Hearing Pingfan say this, Qin Yan'er chuckled smugly and said...

"You don't need to worry about that. Zhang Shan from the Zhang family is dead, so no one from the Zhang family will bother me anymore."

Upon hearing Zhang Shan's name, Pingfan came up with a plan. He used Zhang Shan to elicit information from Qin Yan'er and slowly asked, "..."

Who is Zhang Shan?

Upon hearing Pingfan mention this name, Qin Yan'er's face clearly showed a hint of disgust, and she said through gritted teeth.

"The grandson of Zhang Liang, the patriarch of the Zhang family"

Seeing Qin Yan'er follow his words, Pingfan suppressed his excitement and asked in confusion.

"Zhang Shan is dead, doesn't the Zhang family have any reaction?"

Seeing Pingfan ask this question, Qin Yan'er gave a disdainful sneer and said...

"How could there be no reaction? At that time, Zhang Liang led some cultivators to the place where Zhang Shan had the accident. They learned that Zhang Shan had been killed by a demonic beast, and in anger, they killed the beast."

At this point, Qin Yan'er seemed very happy and continued.

"However, I heard that Zhang Shan wasn't killed by a demonic beast, but I don't know who killed him. I only guess that the other party might be a body cultivator."

After saying that, Qin Yan'er paused slightly, frowned, looked at Pingfan, and said.

"Why are you asking these questions? Besides, you are also a body cultivator and have always lived deep in the mountains and forests. Did you kill Zhang Shan?"

Upon hearing this, Pingfan clenched his fists involuntarily, his heart pounding uncontrollably.

However, Qin Yan'er slowly shook her head and denied it.

"You didn't even know Zhang Shan, so why would you kill him for no reason?"

Hearing Qin Yan'er's words, Pingfan's wildly beating heart calmed down, and he loosened his clenched hands, chuckling softly.

"Miss is wise."

After saying that, Pingfan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Qin Yan'er had guessed that he had killed Zhang Shan.

Upon hearing Qin Yan'er's subsequent words, Pingfan finally realized how Qin Yan'er, that silly girl, could suddenly become so clever.

Hearing the ordinary praise, Qin Yan'er's smug expression was evident. She then tilted her pretty face up and said...

"That's right, don't you know who I am? I'm the legendary, all-knowing immortal, Qin Yan'er."

Hearing Qin Yan'er's arrogant words and her smug expression, Pingfan's lips twitched slightly, and he quickly echoed her.

"Miss is mighty!"

After saying that, he calmly and casually steered the conversation back to the Zhang family and asked a question.

"What happened next? Did the Zhang family find the body cultivator who killed Zhang Shan?"

Still basking in her smugness, Qin Yan'er's expression slowly turned cold when she heard Ping Fan mention Zhang Shan again. She looked at Ping Fan with a scrutinizing gaze.

Seeing that Pingfan only looked curious, he reluctantly said it.

"No, Zhang Liang was furious about it. After that, he went berserk and started annexing some small forces near Fengyan City."

At this point, a hint of fear unexpectedly appeared on Qin Yan'er's face as she slowly spoke.

"I once overheard my grandfather and brother talking; it seemed Zhang Liang wanted to annex the Qin family as well."

Upon hearing this, Pingfan recalled his previous encounter with Xie Yuan and his group of five, who had also mentioned that the Zhang family was currently at odds with the other three families.

It seems the reason lies here. Presumably, Zhang Liang failed to obtain what he wanted from Li Tiansheng and his wife, and then his most beloved grandson died.

That's why they're willing to do anything to make the Zhang family the number one family below the four holy lands of the Northern Region.

However, there was one thing Pingfan didn't understand: even if Zhang Liang's cultivation was stronger than the other three family heads, defeating him was easy, but killing him was probably impossible.

Thinking of this, Pingfan looked at Qin Yan'er and asked in confusion.

"Aren't the patriarch and Zhang Liang both at the half-step Nascent Soul stage? How dare Zhang Liang really fight the patriarch?"

Hearing Pingfan's words, he didn't realize why Pingfan knew so much about his grandfather and Zhang Liang's strength. Instead, he smiled bitterly and said...

"That's how it should be, but not long after the four great families returned empty-handed, Zhang Liang comprehended another power of the Heavenly Dao Law."

"So now Zhang Liang's strength has greatly increased. If it weren't for the fear that Grandpa would fight him to the death, the Zhang family would probably have already taken action against the Qin family."

After speaking, a faint look of sorrow appeared on Qin Yan'er's face.

Although Qin Yan'er seemed carefree and didn't care about anything, she still felt a little upset after hearing her grandfather and brother's conversation.

After hearing what Qin Yan'er said, Pingfan frowned and thought to himself.

"It seems we need to hurry and kill Zhang Liang. If we wait until he breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, it will be extremely difficult to kill him."

At that moment, Pingfan didn't want to continue talking to Qin Yan'er and planned to rest for the night and see if he could find out where Zhang Liang lived in the Zhang family tomorrow.

Having made up his mind, Pingfan looked sleepy and said to Qin Yan'er.

"Miss, I traveled all night to reach Fengyan City, and I'm a little tired now. I'd like to rest."

Hearing Pingfan's words and seeing the weariness on his face, coupled with the conversation between the two of them just now, she lost the mood to continue playing around.

Then Qin Yan'er casually waved her hand and said to Pingfan.

"You should rest now, I'm going back too."

After saying that, Qin Yan'er turned and left, looking preoccupied.

As Pingfan watched Qin Yan'er's departing figure, his tense nerves slowly relaxed, and he turned and walked into the room.

Meanwhile, at the foot of the Zhang Family Mansion's waterfall, not far to the right, stands a simple house.

Qin Yu was standing in front of the house.

Qin Yu took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled before bowing respectfully towards the door.

"My grandson, Qin Yu, has important business to discuss with me."

After Qin Yu finished speaking, the space was silent for a moment, and then an old yet loud voice came from inside the room.

"come in!"
