Chapter 222: Chapter 222 News from Elder Sister Hong_1

The street was dimly lit.

Two figures darted back and forth under the street light, indistinguishably fast to a bizarre degree.

"Damn..."

Jiao Long was somewhat irritated. He couldn’t believe he was unable to defeat a youngster.

"An Innate master really is an Innate master."

Zhang Xian was also struggling in the fight, his many attempts to suppress Jiao Long ended in failure. With not much difference in their power levels, he couldn’t establish a clear advantage.

"Ha ha...Old man, what do you mean by this? Are you bullying the weak?"

Suddenly, a black figure emerged not far away, blending in with the darkness, barely distinguishable. But his voice was clear.

"Damn..." Upon hearing the voice, Jiao Long’s face changed drastically, and without hesitation, he turned and fled.

"Not so fast." Zhang Xian chased after him.

The shadow in the dark also dashed out, trying to stop Jiao Long.

Seeing that Zhang Xian and Qiu Yun were intending to trap him from both sides, Jiao Long immediately turned and ran into a small alley.

Zhang Xian wanted to continue the chase. He had a score to settle and he had to eliminate Jiao Long, the ticking bomb, while Qiu Yun was still around, otherwise, there’s no telling when he might explode.

"Zhang Xian, stop chasing."

Qiu Yun, who had failed to stop Jiao Long, held back Zhang Xian, "At this level, our abilities are not much different from his, and we basically can’t catch him unless we can overpower him."

Zhang Xian was somewhat unwilling to give up. To him, Jiao Long was a major threat.

However, he also knew that if Jiao Long wanted to escape, he was not confident in capturing him. His tricks worked well on latter-day masters, but they were not very effective against Innate masters.

"I didn’t expect that." Qiu Yun looked at Zhang Xian and said: "Your strength is really strong. I underestimated you before."

Zhang Xian chuckled and didn’t say anything.

That was his secret. His master once said that his future was incalculable; he might even break the shackles of ancient martial arts and step into another world.

Currently, he was only at the fifth level of body tempering. After his breakthrough, the Innate masters would have to take a detour to avoid him.

This was the gap between martial artists and cultivators. The path of a martial artist had its limits and would stop at a certain stage. But for cultivators, their peak surpassed martial artists by far.

Remembering something, Zhang Xian suddenly asked, "Old Man Qiu, why are you here?"

"This..." Qiu Yun scratched his head in embarrassment, smiled, and said: "I was just passing by, saw some masters fighting here, so I ran over."

"Really just passing by?" Zhang Xian eyed Qiu Yun skeptically.

Realizing that he couldn’t fool him, Qiu Yun chuckled and said, "I didn’t want that old guy to snatch the Red Heart Fruit, did I?"

"You are quite thoughtful." Zhang Xian knew that this old man must have been following him.

However, since his intentions were good, he didn’t say anything. If Jiao Long was a bit more formidable, he might have been in trouble. With Qiu Yun around, it added an extra layer of protection.

"I’ve got things to do, so I’ll leave first, you be careful." Qiu Yun said with a smile, then turned and left, quickly disappearing into the darkness.

...

It was late at night, and once again Zhang Xian returned home at three in the morning.

Lying on the bed, Zhu Qing glared at Zhang Xian as he came in, her face full of resentment, "You’re good! You’re not home until this late because you were ’helping’."

Zhang Xian laughed, "Well...I ran into some circumstances, so I came back a bit late."

"Then you might as well not come back at all! Isn’t it better to spend the night there? More to your liking?" Zhu Qing’s words were filled with jealousy.

Her man was out late at night with another woman, hardly something which made her comfortable.

"I must come home!" Zhang Xian laid down beside her and chuckled, "I have a beautiful wife waiting for me at home, why would I be tempted by the outside world? Sleeping at home is the most comfortable."

"Hmph! Stop it..." Zhu Qing gave Zhang Xian an annoyed glance.

But noticing the bruise on Zhang Xian’s face, she turned pale and asked, "Zhang Xian, how did you get that bruise? What happened?"

"It’s nothing." Zhang Xian shook his head with a laugh.

These injuries were from his fight with Jiao Long. However, that old man didn’t get away unscathed either, he had numerous injuries as well.

"And you’re still saying it’s nothing?" Zhu Qing quickly got out of bed, intending to get medicine.

Zhang Xian pulled Zhu Qing back into his arms and said with a smile, "I already told you it’s no big deal, why are you getting medicine? It’ll be gone by tomorrow morning."

Zhu Qing knew Zhang Xian had miraculous abilities, so she didn’t insist, but she was puzzled, "Aren’t you very powerful? Why did you get hurt? Are there still people you can’t beat?"

"Of course, you think I am invincible?" Zhang Xian laughed bitterly, "Actually, there are a lot of masters in this world. There are quite a few stronger than me. It’s only natural to get hurt sometimes."

"Ah...Then...Who did you offend?" Zhu Qing started worrying.

"Don’t worry about that, it’s hard for me to explain." Zhang Xian kissed Zhu Qing and said, "It’s late, we should sleep."

Zhu Qing hugged Zhang Xian tightly, "No, I want..."

Zhang Xian was stunned, then leaned over with a wolfish grin, "That’s easy, I’m always full of energy!"

"Right...," Zhu Qing suddenly pushed Zhang Xian away and asked, "We’ve done it so many times and you’ve never taken any precautions. Why haven’t I felt anything yet?"

"Uh, that was on purpose. I didn’t want you to get pregnant, so you didn’t. Why? Do you want a child?" Zhang Xian asked with a smile.

Being a cultivator, he has plenty of tricks. Contraception is merely a small one.

Zhu Qing replied, "No, I was just a little worried. Since it was you messing around, then forget it."

...

The next day, after breakfast.

Zhu Yan pulled Zhang Xian aside and asked, "Brother-in-law, I... I don’t want to go to school anymore, is that okay?"

Zhang Xian chuckled and asked, "Are you afraid that the assassin will come after you again?"

Zhu Yan nodded, "Yes, he has a gun. I’m worried he’ll suddenly show up and shoot me. Wouldn’t I be done for then?"

"Done for? What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Xian teased, rubbing Zhu Yan’s small nose. "It’s fine, I’ll escort you to school. Just don’t leave the school premises when I’m not around. With so many people at school, not even the boldest would dare make a move there. But just to be safe, don’t wander around, even in school. Stay in the classroom as much as possible, and if you do have to get out, go to places where there are lots of people."

"But I...," Zhu Yan looked afraid.

Zhang Xian said, "Yan Yan, I know you’re worried, but if you keep hiding, that assassin won’t make a move. Do you intend to hide for the rest of your life?"

"Could it be that the one who targeted our Zhu Family is the one behind the assassin?" Zhu Yan asked. "As long as you find out who’s pulling the strings from behind, the assassin will naturally stop trying to kill me."

Zhang Xian answered, "If I knew who was behind all this, do you think I’d be bothering with all this?"

"Then... I...," Zhu Yan didn’t know what to say.

Zhang Xian, while hugging Zhu Yan’s fragrant shoulder, led her out, "Come on, I’ll walk you to school. As long as I’m around, even if the assassin shoots from the shadows, I can still protect you."

Zhu Yan nodded, not saying another word. Just as Zhang Xian had said, unless the assassin was taken care of and the situation clarified, she would have to remain hidden at home. A life like that would be worse than death.

"Hey? Isn’t that Teacher Wen?"

Walking into an alley, Zhang Xian saw Wen Yulan and hurried to catch up with her.

"Naughty brother-in-law...," Zhu Yan was somewhat frustrated.

She knew that Zhang Xian’s mouth was itching again and he wanted to tease the beauty.

As expected, once Zhang Xian caught up with her, he patted Wen Yulan’s shoulder and laughed, "Teacher Wen, what a coincidence!"

"Uh...," When Wen Yulan saw Zhang Xian, she instinctively put some distance between them and asked, "Zhang... Zhang Xian, are... are you okay?"

Zhang Xian responded, "Look at me, I’m perfectly fine. What could possibly be wrong?"

"Didn’t you go to the Jinwan casino the other day?" Wen Yulan asked, eyeing Zhang Xian.

She hadn’t seen him in a couple of days and had thought something had happened. Seeing that Zhu Yan was fine and having several times considered calling to ask, she eventually refrained from dialing the number.

Zhang Xian said, "I did. It has been two days now. Has your father given you any more trouble? I promised to help you out, and I intend to keep my word."

"Yes... yes, there’s been no more trouble. Thank you." Wen Yulan nodded.

Zhu Yan furrowed her brows, asking, "Brother-in-law, Teacher Wen, what Jinwan casino? I don’t understand."

"Why do you need to understand?" Zhang Xian tousled Zhu Yan’s hair and laughed, "Just focus on your own affairs. You don’t need to worry about other people’s problems."

Zhu Yan pouted and didn’t say anything further.

"Teacher Wen, are you going to school? Shall we go together?" Zhang Xian winked suggestively at Wen Yulan.

Wen Yulan rolled her eyes at Zhang Xian and walked ahead.

...

After walking Zhu Yan and Wen Yulan to the school gate, Zhang Xian had no intention of going in. He still had some matters to attend to.

Wen Yulan wanted to invite Zhang Xian in for class. Remembering the embarrassment at the door last time, she refrained from acting on it. She felt that being with Zhang Xian, a hoodlum, would not necessarily end well for her.

"Ring ring ring..."

Suddenly, his phone rang.

Seeing that the call was from He Zheng, Zhang Xian answered, "So, any progress?"

"Brother Xian, I’ve had someone recover the deleted data, but the lighting wasn’t good at the scene, and there was glare, so there’s no clear picture of Ji Yonghao."

Zhang Xian furrowed his brows, "So you’re saying, we can’t pin anything on him with just a car?"

"Yes. That guy has a strong backing. A car alone is not enough evidence to convict him."

"Damn it...," Zhang Xian corners of the mouth twitched unwillingly. "Forget it, don’t worry about that for now. Elder Sister Hong’s matter is more urgent. It’s been several days."

"Brother Xian, I was just about to talk to you about that. One of my guys just called me, he spotted the van and is following it now."

Zhang Xian’s eyes lit up, "Really? Where?"

"It seems they’re out shopping, buying food and such. I suspect if we can locate that van, we should be able to find where Elder Sister Hong is hiding."

Zhang Xian said, "Good. Tell your guy to be careful, don’t get too close, but also don’t lose them. I’m heading over there now."
