Chapter 436 What is the relationship between you and my husband?
Fortunately, the head of the Bai family had not completely lost his mind. After finishing one round of attempts, he finally remembered that there were still distinguished guests waiting for him, and he dressed with satisfaction.
After giving Madam Bai a few words of advice and telling her to get some rest, he hurriedly went to find Yu Zhiyi.
Yu Zhiyi had already finished dinner.
Although she waited for two hours, she did not harbor any resentment.
She discovered that in addition to the spiritual energy contained in the tea, many ingredients in the hidden realm also contained spiritual energy, and the food made from them could be transformed into pure spiritual power.
It wasn't much, but it was better than nothing.
Not long after she put down her chopsticks, the head of the Bai family finally returned, exuding a spirited and triumphant air.
“Miss Jiang, I entrust my son to you.”
This is an acknowledgment of Yu Zhiyi's abilities.
At this moment, the head of the Bai family had long forgotten about Zhong Zhehao's request to see him.
Yu Zhiyi nodded slightly.
This time, the Bai family head is prepared to accompany him throughout the entire process.
The two walked together toward the stairwell.
Just as he was about to step onto the steps, a guard at the door rushed over, his face beaming with delight: "Master, Master Lingyun from the Taixu Sect has arrived!"
The head of the Bai family was overjoyed: "What did you say?"
Yu Zhiyi's heart sank.
Taixu Sect...
Is it just a coincidence, or have they already found something?
However, she couldn't say anything at this moment. Seeing that the Bai family head was going to personally come out to greet her, she frowned and said, "Bai family head, are you not going to treat her?"
The Bai family head was immediately in a dilemma: "Miss Jiang, it is rare for True Immortal Lingyun to come out of seclusion, so this old man must go to welcome him in person."
Yu Zhiyi was his benefactor, and he felt somewhat ashamed of abandoning his benefactor.
But there was nothing I could do.
That's Master Lingyun.
A prodigy from a century ago, now the Supreme Elder of the Taixu Sect.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "Didn't Miss Jiang say that my son's illness requires the use of fire? It just so happens that True Person Lingyun has a top-grade fire spiritual root and has also subdued a strange fire. If he could help, wouldn't it be twice as effective with half the effort?"
Yu Zhiyi said indifferently, "I accepted the challenge because I'm interested in the reward offered by the Bai family. If someone else gets involved, the reward will naturally be halved. I don't want to do such a losing business."
"If Patriarch Bai insists on involving True Person Lingyun, then let the Taixu Sect handle this matter entirely, and I will not get involved."
The head of the Bai family hesitated.
He didn't know if the Taixu Sect could cure his son.
Most importantly, the Taixu Sect has a feud with the Demon Clan.
If any other power knew that his son was possessed by the remnant soul of a demon, they might be able to help him keep it a secret by using threats and inducements.
But the people of the Taixu Sect, especially True Person Lingyun, would never help him cover it up.
If necessary, he might even humanely euthanize his son.
But then again, what if his son wasn't possessed by the remnant soul of the Blood Fiend King?
What if Miss Jiang has made a mistake?
Who was the Blood Fiend King? He was a Nascent Soul Realm expert when he fell!
Even if only a wisp of a soul remains, how could an unknown little girl possibly discern that?
He admitted that Miss Jiang was indeed quite capable, but to say that she was actually more powerful than the Blood Fiend King based on that would be rather rash.
"Since Miss Jiang is unwilling to share the credit, then you should go back first. I will contact you again if needed."
Yu Zhiyi glanced at him, said nothing, and turned to leave.
Waiting is not an option.
She planned to leave Wanyuan City overnight.
Perhaps worried that Yu Zhiyi might offend the Supreme Elder of the Taixu Sect while she was in a bad mood, the servants of the Bai family led her out of the main gate they had come through this time, but through a side gate in another direction.
If it were someone else, they might get angry, but Yu Zhiyi couldn't be happier.
She followed the servants expressionlessly until they left the Bai residence, at which point she finally felt relieved.
The Bai family head probably felt that with the Supreme Elder of the Taixu Sect in charge, the eldest son's illness had been completely stabilized, so he had no intention of keeping Yu Zhiyi's address.
Yu Zhiyi wasn't angry and rushed back to Lin Qingxi's residence as quickly as possible.
Lin Qingxi was not in the courtyard.
Unlike the clean and tidy place when she left, the courtyard was now messy and showed signs of a fight.
Yu Zhiyi's expression changed, and she rushed into the house.
There was a pool of blood on the ground at the entrance of the main room.
The bloodstains had dried and turned dark red.
Yu Zhiyi narrowed her eyes, calculated with her fingers, and quickly figured out the whole story.
"The Zhong family."
She knew Zhong Zhehao wasn't a good match, but she never expected that he wasn't even a normal man.
Lin Qingxi had already expressed her intention to break off the engagement, but he still wouldn't let go.
Moreover, it wasn't even because of romantic entanglements.
This matter is somewhat related to her, and Yu Zhiyi cannot ignore it.
The map she bought had the exact location of the Zhong family. Yu Zhiyi had originally decided to wait until tomorrow because it would be impolite to visit them in the evening. But now it seems that there's no need to be too reasonable with some people.
In less than half an hour, she had made the round trip.
With the help of the map, she quickly found the Zhong residence.
Both families were prominent in Wanyuan City, but the Zhong family and the Bai family were clearly not on the same level. The most obvious difference was that the Zhong family's house was more than ten times smaller than the Bai family's.
If the Bai family is another imperial palace, then the Zhong family is at most a small courtyard in the mansion of a powerful clan.
It is worth mentioning that the Zhong family also has a defensive formation.
Having traveled a long way, Yu Zhiyi had calmed down and naturally wouldn't force her way in.
Otherwise, summoning that Supreme Elder would be a greater loss than a gain.
There were also two guards at the entrance of the Zhong family's residence.
Unlike the arrogant yet polite guards of the Bai family, the guards of the Zhong family were utterly arrogant.
Upon seeing a beautiful young woman suddenly arrive at the Zhong family's door, with no spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from her, the two men immediately revealed a strong sense of disdain in their eyes, and cast a different kind of look in their gazes as they sized up Yu Zhiyi.
Perhaps the young master has gotten himself into another romantic entanglement?
Yu Zhiyi seemed oblivious to the strange expressions on the two men's faces. She stepped forward and introduced herself: "Please inform the two elder brothers that I have come to deliver something for Patriarch Zhong."
The two guards exchanged glances, both somewhat surprised.
They never expected that this woman wasn't after the young master, but after the master.
The two men's eyes grew increasingly disdainful.
The head of the Zhong family is over a hundred years old, and his appearance is that of an elderly man.
He's not even as good as Young Master Zhong.
But since it concerned the head of the Zhong family, they didn't make things difficult for Yu Zhiyi. One of them turned around and went into the courtyard.
Before long, a middle-aged woman emerged, surrounded by maids and servants.
The woman had a stern face and a cold, rigid demeanor; she was none other than Madam Zhong.
Standing on the steps by the door, Madam Zhong looked down at Yu Zhiyi with undisguised hostility in her eyes.
The maids and servants behind her showed expressions of shared hatred and indignation.
"You said you came back in place of the master? Why didn't the master come back in person?"
She maintained her composure and ultimately did not ask what the relationship was between the woman in front of her and her husband.
Because she knew that the woman would inevitably reveal her identity.
