Chapter 565
Zhai Yuanhao is now a master of the fourth level of Martial Emperor, but given his identity as the son of luck, it was by no means an easy task for him to climb to this position through hardships. It is conceivable that he has suffered a lot and hovered on the brink of life and death.
The reason why Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi were able to reach the ninth level of Martial Emperor so quickly was because they had accumulated so much from so many worlds and had extremely strong minds, which Zhai Yuanhao did not have at all, making them even more valuable.
Zhai Yuanhao couldn't relax himself in front of the Zhan family, but it was different in front of Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi. Sometimes he felt that he was being taken care of by these two people, even though he was only the fifth brother. He missed those days when he didn't have to be on guard at all.
"Oh, I forgot one thing. What did you say to the eldest lady of the Feng family?"
As soon as Yuan Jing finished speaking, someone came in and reported: "There is a lady named Feng outside who wants to see Emperor Yuanhao Wu."
Zhai Yuanhao's face suddenly froze. He was still thinking about how to word the matter when the woman came running after him.
Zhai Yuanhao pulled his hair with a headache and said, "Tell that woman that I won't see her anymore. Ask her if she can understand what I'm saying. I have nothing to do with her."
In fact, he didn't want such good fortune at all. Before his life story was revealed, how much suffering did he suffer because of this woman? He was suppressed and humiliated by her suitors. Although he rose up because of the repeated suppression and humiliation, it didn't mean that he was grateful to this woman and her suitors.
Anyway, the Zhan family wants to use him, so he might as well use the Zhan family. In the past, he could not defeat Master Feng alone, but now Master Feng can't get the advantage even if he fights against the Zhan family, so he has the right to reject this woman.
The person who reported the news was a servant of Wanbao Pavilion. He did not continue to ask why Zhai Yuanhao was missing. He just answered and turned around to reply. He was only responsible for delivering the message.
At the entrance of Wanbao Pavilion, Feng Yushan heard the reply without missing a word and stamped her feet in anger: "I don't believe it. Let me in and I will ask him myself."
As she said this, she was about to break in, but Wanbao Pavilion was not anywhere else, and even Miss Feng dared to stop her: "Sorry, Miss Feng is not a guest of this pavilion, so you are not allowed to break in without permission. Miss Feng, please go back."
"Just wait for me!" Feng Yushan was so angry that she said something harsh and turned and ran away.
Hearing that Miss Feng had run away, Zhai Yuanhao finally breathed a sigh of relief. When he looked up, he saw his eighth brother and Duan Linzhi looking at him with amusement, and he became even more depressed.
This was not the first time he was targeted by a woman. He could not understand what was going on in those women's minds. Wasn't it fun to practice and improve his cultivation? He had no mind for romance.
Yuan Jing laughed and let the topic go. He could only express envy and sympathy for the protagonist Zhai Yuanhao's good fortune.
He also discovered one thing. Because Zhai Yuanhao walked too fast, Mu Xuanning couldn't catch up with him. So the woman who was originally placed in the deepest part of the male protagonist's heart did not seem to be treated in this way now.
Is it possible that because of his and Duan Linzhi's interference, this official couple will be broken up?
Forget it, this is not something he needs to consider. No matter how bad it is, it is better than Mu Xuanning living well now. If the two really like each other, they will get together sooner or later. Why should his eighth brother worry about them? It should be his aunt who should worry about them.
After the three of them finished their private conversation, Wan Mengling also came over to join in the fun and get to know Zhai Yuanjing's fifth brother, the talented son of the Zhan family. In fact, he was extremely curious about the Xuanwu Continent. With three such talented cultivators suddenly appearing, he would love to have a chance to travel around the Xuanwu Continent.
Yuan Jing then took Zhai Yuanhao to meet Zhong Zheng and Su Wei, because he was Yuan Jing's fifth brother and knew Hua Wenmeng. Zhong Zheng had heard about Yuan Jing's fifth brother several times from his grandson, so the two venerables had a good impression of him. In addition to the gift, Su Wei also gave him some suitable elixirs. Zhai Yuanjing did not expect to get any benefits and was very happy.
"Eighth brother, I have also prepared some things for you and Brother Duan. You don't have to worry about me. I have the ability to protect myself. When you left Xuanwu Continent, I found some good things there. The cultivators in Tianyuan Realm probably didn't expect that there would be such good things in the lower world."
"Oh, and this is made of the Heart-Shaped Jade. With it, if we enter the tomb of the Venerable, we should be able to get in touch if the space is not too severe. I must go in with the Zhan family, and we will find a chance to reunite inside."
Yuan Jing accepted it without any refusals and was very happy to receive it. Zhai Yuanhao was even happier too. In the past, he had always received good things from his eighth brother, and now he finally got the chance to give it to him. Then Zhai Yuanhao had to go back to the Zhan family and said goodbye to the two of them reluctantly.
After returning to the Zhan family, Zhai Yuanhao was not in a good mood, especially when Zhan Chengxun ran up to him and mocked him again, which made Zhai Yuanhao even more unhappy.
Zhan Chengxun was the one who pursued Feng Yushan the most fiercely in the Zhan family. Zhai Yuanhao suffered a lot at his hands before his life experience was exposed. After he returned to the Zhan family, he was only punished symbolically, which did not hurt him. Zhai Yuanhao did not have much sense of belonging to the Zhan family at that time.
Needless to say, Zhan Chengxun came for Feng Yushan. Zhai Yuanhao sneered, "If you have the guts, tell that woman not to run after me. Otherwise, stop whining in front of me. I'm annoyed by hearing you."
After saying that, Zhai Yuanhao ignored the bastard and walked away with a swagger, making Zhan Chengxun behind him so angry that his hands began to tremble.
In the past, these children of noble families looked down on him and felt that even his presence was a stain on their eyes. But as for Zhai Yuanhao, he also looked down on these children of noble families. Now that they have been left behind by him one by one, what qualifications do they have to show off their status in front of him?
Zhai Yuanhao was also extremely proud. The Zhan family was said to be a first-rate family in the Tianyuan Realm, but in his opinion, none of the young men in the Zhan family could compare to his eighth brother and Duan Linzhi.
Zhan Chengxun was extremely frustrated by being despised by the country bumpkins whom he used to look down upon. At this time, his elder brother appeared and Zhan Chengxun complained: "Brother, look at this guy. He became arrogant as soon as he succeeded. Don't you even consider his background?"
"Okay," Zhan Chengling glanced in the direction where Zhai Yuanhao disappeared, "You too, you knew that woman didn't have you in her heart, so why did you stand up for her? Do you think she'll be grateful to you for that?"
Zhan Chengling didn't like Zhai Yuanhao, but he also didn't like the way Zhan Chengxun was ordered around by Feng Yushan. He felt very disappointed with his brother, as his brother was not even as good as Zhai Yuanhao in this respect.
"Our most important task this time is to enter the tomb of the Venerable and get what the Zhan family wants. Everything else will be put on hold. Second brother, you don't want to be scolded by the Great Elder, do you?"
After the threat, Zhan Chengxun calmed down a lot and put the overall situation first.
Zhan Shiqing was also working on Zhai Yuanhao's work. Zhan Shiqing had complicated feelings towards this son who came along halfway, but now he had a wife and a child. What could he do? He could only blame it on a combination of circumstances.
If his memory had not been sealed, he might have brought Yuan Hao's mother back and made her a concubine. However, decades have passed and things have changed. The feelings he had decades ago have long since vanished. The only thing he is grateful to her for is that she gave birth to such a talented son for him, which has also improved his status in the Zhan family.
Therefore, he was willing to suppress the protests of his wife and other son for the sake of this son.
"The Great Elder said that we can bring your cousin back to the Zhan family. The Zhan family will not treat them badly, and you also need to cultivate your own confidants around you. You don't need your father to give you more guidance on these matters." Zhan Shiqing felt that he had really planned everything for his son.
Zhai Yuanhao almost wanted to pick his ears in front of Zhan Shiqing to see if he had misheard. From Zhan Shiqing's condescending tone, did his eighth brother and Duan Linzhi have to thank the Zhan family for letting them join? Did everyone really want to join this so-called first-class family?
Didn't he see how much external forces his eighth brother and Duan Linzhi had relied on along the way? How long did it take them to get to where they are now? If the Zhan family is really so great, has the Zhan family cultivated children who are better than his eighth brother and Duan Linzhi? If they really entered the Zhan family, their development would only be suppressed by the Zhan family.
"No need. My eighth brother and eldest brother Duan are not the kind of people who can stand being restrained. They are used to being free outside." Zhai Yuanhao refused expressionlessly. He was getting better and better at hiding his true feelings, making it impossible for people, including his biological father, to see his true thoughts. "You don't need to persuade me anymore. I will do everything else I should do. I'm going back to my room to rest first."
After saying this, Zhai Yuanhao left without caring about Zhan Shiqing's expression.
Although he married into the Zhan family, he never changed his surname and it was still Zhai Yuanhao. He could not call his biological father Zhan Shiqing "Dad".
Zhan Shiqing frowned, but in the end he could only sigh. This son was actually more stubborn than anyone else, and he was afraid that if he pushed him too far, he would drive the boy away.
Within two days, there was movement in the tomb of the Venerable. The cultivators guarding here rose into the air one after another, watching the restrictions that gradually emerged in mid-air.
The space where the Venerable's Tomb is located seems to be dragged out from the depths of the endless void. There is a huge vortex at the entrance, like a giant beast in the deep space, which wants to swallow all those who enter.
The storm generated by the vortex was extremely strong. At this time, even if a Venerable approached, there was a danger of being torn apart by the vortex, so everyone was waiting for the vortex to calm down a little.
Two more days passed, and the vortex at the entrance was much calmer than when it first appeared, but it was still very dangerous for cultivators with weaker cultivation.
At this time, a cultivator leaped out, laughed loudly, "I'll go first," and jumped into the whirlpool. His figure was quickly swallowed by the whirlpool.
"That's Venerable Xin Huaixin, an eighth-rank martial master! He hasn't appeared in many years. I didn't expect him to be here so early."
Where there is the first person, there will be the second person. At this time, the cultivators waiting outside were shocked. They rarely saw the appearance of the Venerables at other times, but today these Venerables jumped into the vortex like dumplings. It turned out that there were so many Venerables hidden in this Tianyuan Realm, and many of them were unfamiliar faces.
