Chapter 241: Chapter 241 Zhao Xingyan’s Proposal_1

River City, Zhao Family.

A group of Zhao family members were arguing in the villa’s main hall.

After the deaths of Zhao Rongfu and Zhao Xinghui, the Zhao family was headless, with everyone eyeing the position of Family Head.

"My brother is dead, and his two sons, Xing Hui and Zhao Xingrui, are also dead. The position of the Zhao Family Head should rightfully be mine!" Zhao Rongfu’s brother, Zhao Ronggui, declared loudly.

"Heh, Ronggui, when it comes to seniority, it shouldn’t be your turn, right? Back then, I gave up the position of Family Head to Rongfu’s dad, and after his death, it was passed on to Rongfu. Now that Rongfu and his two sons are dead, it’s only right that the position returns to me," said Zhao Linsen, Zhao Rongfu’s uncle.

"The position of the Zhao Family Head must be filled by someone capable! Otherwise, how can we lead our family to establish a foothold in River City?" A younger member of a collateral branch of the Zhao family also eagerly put forth his opinion.

Although the Zhao family had suffered a great loss and was close to being picked clean by other families, its remaining assets were still not to be underestimated, for a starved camel is still bigger than a horse.

Everyone in the Zhao family had their eyes on the position of Family Head, with designs on the remaining assets.

At that moment, a woman with a curvy figure and enchanting looks stood up and said coldly, "My dad and my two brothers died at the hands of Ning Fan. It’s very simple to decide who will be the new Family Head: whoever kills Ning Fan to avenge my dad and brothers will be the Zhao Family Head!"

This woman was Zhao Xingyan, the daughter of Zhao Rongfu and the sister of Zhao Xinghui and Zhao Xingrui.

Half a month ago, Ning Fan had burst into the Zhao family, defeated the Zhao Family Patron, and killed Zhao Xinghui and Zhao Rongfu. At the time, Zhao Xingyan had been hiding on the second floor, watching everything unfold, forcibly holding in her emotions without making a sound.

"Xingyan, you are certainly not wrong in saying that, but if no one can unite the strength of the Zhao family now, what will we use to kill Ning Fan? That Ning Fan is very powerful, and our previous Patron was no match for him. To kill him, we must spend a lot of money to hire a more formidable martial arts expert, or a top assassin! Whether it’s a formidable martial arts expert or a top assassin, they are both very expensive... With no one to mobilize the Zhao family’s assets at the moment, who could afford such an expense?" Zhao Linsen shook his head.

The other members of the Zhao family also nodded in agreement.

However, Zhao Xingyan sneered and said, "Since none of you are willing to kill Ning Fan, then leave it to me. After I find someone to kill Ning Fan, the position of the Zhao Family Head will be mine!"

"Heh, Xingyan, anyone can talk big, right? You can find someone to kill Ning Fan? Who on earth would that be?" Zhao Linsen challenged.

"Yeah, Sister Xingyan, could it be that you’re using your private money to hire an expert? But I’m afraid your personal savings wouldn’t be enough, right?" Zhao Ronggui also sneered.

Zhao Xingyan proudly stated, "Watch closely, the man I, Zhao Xingyan, have found to kill Ning Fan is my man! The son of the Martial Alliance Hierarch, Fei Liang!"

As her words fell, a robust young man walked in, striding confidently, exuding a fierce aura.

"What? The son of Fei Zhongzhi, the Hierarch of the Martial Alliance, Fei Liang?"

"Is that the same Fei Liang who is known as the martial arts prodigy of River City?"

"Greeted by Master Fei!"

The members of the Zhao family were taken aback and hurriedly paid their respects.

The Martial Alliance, as the name suggests, is a league of martial artists.

Martial Artists, with their strength far beyond that of ordinary people, are not easily managed by the secular world’s law enforcement.

Thus, organizations like the Martial Alliance were created to act as a league for martial artists and also as a semi-official institution to manage them.

Many large cities in Xia Country have a Martial Alliance presence, including many martial arts experts.

The strongest among the Martial Alliance in River City is the River City Martial Alliance Hierarch, Fei Zhongzhi.

Fei Zhongzhi’s son, Fei Liang, is hailed as a prodigy that River City has not seen in fifty years!

It is said that he has already broken through the Master Realm in his twenties, although no one knows exactly what rank of Grandmaster he is.

After Zhao Rongfu’s death, Zhao Xingyan considered many methods to exact revenge on Ning Fan, but in the end, she chose this most dependable plan: to become Fei Liang’s woman and have Fei Liang kill Ning Fan!

In the past two weeks, she had orchestrated various chance encounters, using all the means a woman could employ, finally making Fei Liang fall for her.

With Fei Liang’s status, position, and power being far from ordinary, now that Zhao Xingyan had become his woman, the other members of the Zhao family naturally did not dare oppose her suggestion.

"Ning Fan, Ning Fan, you want to participate in the Qingyun List selection, don’t you? Fei Liang will beat you to death in front of all of River City during the Qingyun List’s martial evaluation!"

Zhao Xingyan, with her arm wrapped around Fei Liang’s, had a malicious and cruel glint in her eyes.

...

Elsewhere, on the outskirts of River City, a young man and an elder were walking towards the city district.

"Elder Liu, has Elder Chang finished the job of killing Ning Fan in River City?" the young man asked.

"He probably has killed him by now," the elder said.

"Then why hasn’t he met up with us yet? He couldn’t have been defeated by Ning Fan, could he?" the young man frowned.

"How could that be possible? Elder Liu is a Second-Rank Grandmaster, Ning Fan may have killed Yan Hu, but at most, he’s just a First-Rank Grandmaster, or perhaps even just a Half-Step Grandmaster. You’re worrying too much, Young Hall Master," the elder said.

"That’s true, send a message to Elder Liu, tell him to hurry up. We have big things to handle at the Qingyun List’s martial evaluation tomorrow," the young man said.

These two individuals were none other than Liu Quanguan, an Elder of the Divine Tune Sect’s Tianying Hall, on par with Chang Guishou, as well as the Young Hall Master, Yin Xiaoye.
