Chapter 722: Chapter 722: Misunderstanding

"Xu Tian, what exactly is going on, why did you engage in a fight with Senior Zhao?"

Xu Fei approached Xu Tian and asked accusingly.

It was well known that during her time at the sect, Zhao Lingxi treated everything with absolute impartiality, never mixing personal emotions, which garnered great respect for her from everyone within the sect.

After all, as a woman, the fact that she was able to manage the Lingxi Commerce Guild so exceptionally, bringing countless benefits to the Jade Cauldron Sect, was something many in the sect could not achieve.

Thus, in terms of contributions to the Jade Cauldron Sect, apart from Lin Chen and Xu Ma’an, it was unlikely that anyone could compare with Zhao Lingxi.

Furthermore, it seemed that Zhao Lingxi had an even deeper relationship with Lin Chen. Of course, the truth of the matter was a separate issue. If it were true, should the Battle Eagle Squad kill Zhao Yuntian here, and Zhao Lingxi decided to make things difficult for them in regards to her father’s affair, they would find themselves in a situation too bitter to voice.

"When I got here, I saw this person suppressing our brothers from the Dark Division and beating them, so naturally, I helped out," Xu Tian responded, feeling aggrieved by Xu Fei’s scolding and pointing at Yu Jin and the others.

Upon hearing this, Xu Fei turned his gaze to Yu Jin.

The Dark Division was formed later, so it was normal for Yu Jin not to recognize Zhao Yuntian.

However, the members of the Dark Division were always astute and capable of assessing problems from various angles. It was puzzling why they would unreasonably enter into a battle with Zhao Yuntian.

"Brother Xu, what you don’t know is that when I arrived here, I saw this person desperately protecting the previously injured member of the Zhao Family. Naturally, I couldn’t allow that person from the Zhao Family to escape. This person interfered, so the Dark Division had no choice but to take action and temporarily subdue him. However, I didn’t expect this person’s strength to be so formidable," Yu Jin, seeing Xu Fei’s gaze on him, explained his thoughts and the motives of the Dark Division.

No sooner had he spoken, Yu Jin furrowed his brows and looked at Xu Fei.

"Brother Xu, could it be that you know this person?" Yu Jin asked indifferently.

Although during the escort mission, Yu Jin had come to admire Xu Fei and they had developed some friendly relations.

But regardless of whether Xu Fei knew this person, the Dark Division would not let him go.

The Dark Division served only their lord; if someone hindered them from carrying out their duties, it was only fitting that they be taught a lesson.

Upon hearing this, Xu Fei sighed, sensing that this matter was likely difficult to resolve.

"Brother Yu, this senior is called Zhao Yuntian, and he is the father of President Zhao," Xu Fei said in a muted tone.

Hearing Xu Fei’s words, Yu Jin was also taken aback.

They naturally knew of Zhao Lingxi’s status within the Jade Cauldron Sect, and had not expected that they had engaged in a fight with her father.

Even so, Yu Jin still stood by his conviction.

The Dark Division carried out duties only for their lord. Even if the person before them was Zhao Lingxi’s father, he had no right to impede them from completing their mission.

"Senior Zhao, I am unaware of any misunderstandings here, but I think it’s best to clear this up to avoid any hard feelings. Why don’t you come back with us and discuss the matter in detail?" Yu Jin approached Zhao Yuntian, offered him an elixir for his injuries, and spoke with a smile.

At this, Zhao Yuntian nodded with a wry smile and accepted Yu Jin’s proposal.

In truth, even if Yu Jin hadn’t made the offer, Zhao Yuntian was planning to go to Cloud Sky City to find Lin Chen and clarify the full story, so as not to negatively impact Zhao Lingxi’s development and future within the Jade Cauldron Sect.

Subsequently, everyone started to return to the Flying Boat. As for Zhao Zhongtian’s escape, there was a sense of helplessness amongst them all.

Especially the members of the Battle Eagle Squad, who held some resentment towards Zhao Yuntian, but considering he was Zhao Lingxi’s father, they dared not speak out and could only harbor their dissatisfaction internally.

When they returned to the Flying Boat, Wang Xuan was shocked to find that members of the Dark Division and Battle Eagle Squad had all sustained severe injuries. She felt extremely puzzled – could it be that the fleeing member of the Zhao Family was so powerful that despite the combined efforts of both the Dark Division and Battle Eagle Squad’s martial artists, they failed to capture him?

Moreover, the middle-aged man beside them, didn’t he somewhat resemble the father of their Lingxi Commerce Guild’s president?

"What happened?" Wang Xuan asked, looking at the captain of the Battle Eagle Squad, Xu Fei.

Hearing this, Xu Fei also didn’t know how to explain, as he wasn’t clear on what exactly happened and shrugged his shoulders in response.

Afterward, Wang Xuan inquired about the events from Xu Fei, then sent a message to Zhao Lingxi to inform her of the situation.

...

At this moment, far away in Cloud Sky City, Zhao Lingxi was engaged in managing the commercial affairs within the city.

After defeating the armies of Zhangyang Country and Zhenning Country, the Jade Cauldron Kingdom’s military had acquired a large amount of resources. Naturally, these resources needed Zhao Lingxi’s attention to ensure their optimal use and to facilitate wealth growth.

At that moment, her Communication Talisman suddenly lit up with a glow.

Wang Xuan, a subordinate and good sister of hers, was currently leading a large amount of resources to the newly established Yunfei Kingdom. Zhao Lingxi was unaware of her current whereabouts.

Wang Xuan sending her a message at this time – could it be that she had already reached her destination?

Zhao Lingxi imbued her Spiritual Power into the Communication Talisman in her hand and instantly understood the content of the message.

Upon learning the message sent by Wang Xuan, the smile on Zhao Lingxi’s face gradually faded.

In the message, Wang Xuan had informed her of the actions of the Zhao Family, including her father’s.

Originally, the relationship between the Great Flame Imperial Family of the Great Flame Dynasty and the Jade Cauldron Sect had been very unpleasant. If not for Zhao Lingxi’s request to Lin Chen to spare the Zhao Family once, they might have already vanished from the world, with all of its members ceasing to exist.

After all, the Great Flame Imperial Family had wronged the Jade Cauldron Sect and Lin Chen too much in the past.

Nevertheless, the Jade Cauldron Sect had spared them once.

But now, the Zhao Family had actually plotted to rob the merchant fleet that Wang Xuan was escorting to Yunfei Kingdom.

This act amounted to a great disrespect to the Jade Cauldron Sect, and they could not possibly tolerate the Zhao Family’s conduct any longer.

Most crucially, the affair involved Zhao Lingxi’s father.

Having received cultivation resources she’d sent for over a year, her father’s Cultivation did not fall behind but instead had broken through to the Half-Step Heavenly Human Realm.

These matters were known to Lin Chen.

The resources Zhao Lingxi had sent were exchanged with her own Contribution Value, without any selfish intent, so naturally, Lin Chen did not interfere.

However, it was precisely because of her father’s formidable Cultivation that the entire forces of the Dark Division and Battle Eagle Squad had sustained significant injuries.
