C1740 Zhang Family Head
"Young Master Han, why have you come to our Zhang Family?" When they saw Han Feicheng, the guards at the Zhang Family's entrance immediately greeted him with great respect.
As the head disciple of Master Ling, they naturally did not dare to disrespect him.
"I have something to see your Patriarch, is your Patriarch here?" Han Feicheng asked directly.
"Our family head is here, Young Master Han, please come in first." Saying that, one of them led Han Feicheng inside while the other immediately went to notify the Zhang Clan Head.
Han Feicheng had just entered the Zhang Clan's main hall for a while when the Zhang Clan Head walked in.
"Young Master Han, what wind brought you here?" As soon as he entered, the Zhang Family Head spoke to Han Feicheng with a warm smile.
"It's like this. Your son has passed the exam, but he hasn't come to report to us for the past two days. So I came over to ask if something happened to your Zhang family." Han Feicheng asked.
"What? Didn't he report to you in the past two days?" The Zhang Clan Head couldn't help but be surprised.
"Exactly." Han Feicheng nodded.
"Where did this kid go?" The Zhang Clan Head couldn't help but frown.
He could not help but feel that something was amiss. He had not seen Zhang Ye come over these past few days.
"Please wait here for a moment, I'll go ask the servants!" The Zhang Clan Head frowned.
"Alright, I'll drink some tea here and wait." Han Feicheng nodded.
The Zhang Clan Head immediately left the main hall. After asking around outside, his expression became even more unsightly.
Because the information he got was that Zhang came to take you and the others out and didn't come back, and the people he brought back didn't come back.
Did something happen? He could not help but have such a thought.
If it was at any other time, he might have guessed that Zhang came to a place outside of Shuangquan City, but these two days were for reporting to Master Ling. Under normal circumstances, Zhang came.
This was also a rare opportunity for Zhang to come over.
"Bring someone out to search immediately!" He immediately accepted the order.
The Zhang Clan that was originally quiet immediately became rowdy. Soon, all of the Zhang Clan members left to find Zhang Clan members to rush over.
Only then did the Zhang Clan Head return to the main hall.
"Leader Zhang, did something happen?" Seeing that the Zhang Clan Head took so long to return, Han Feicheng couldn't help but ask.
"He seems to be missing. I'll send someone to look for him. I wonder if he can be found." The Zhang Clan Head frowned.
"Is that so?" Han Feicheng couldn't help but be surprised.
"Young Master Han, you should head back first. I'll inform you if anything happens ?" "Thank you for reminding me of this, or else I wouldn't even know." The Zhang Clan Head replied.
"There's no need to be polite, I'll be going back first." With that, Han Feicheng walked out.
On this side, the people of the Zhang family had searched for a long time and came up with a piece of information. It was that Zhang came to take the people out of Shuangquan City and returned with another person. After that, they disappeared without a trace.
However, since the other person was wearing a bamboo hat on his head when he came in, they could not tell who it was.
The one wearing the conical bamboo hat was naturally Lin Long, he did this so that no one else could see.
After obtaining this information, the Zhang Clan Head had his men investigate the inside of Shuangquan City. However, they did not find any clues.
This was naturally because of Lin Long's foresight. If not for him capturing Examiner He and the others, the Zhang Family would have already targeted him.
Just as the Zhang Clan Head was frowning in worry, he received a piece of information. It was that Zhang Li had once clashed with someone during the exam. That person's name was Lin Li.
After some investigation, the Zhang Clan Head found out that Lin Li had also passed the exam and was currently at Master Ling's place. He immediately went to find Han Feicheng.
"Leader Zhang, is there any news of your arrival?" Han Feicheng couldn't help but ask when he saw the Zhang Clan Head walk over.
"I didn't find anything. I didn't have any leads either. I just found out that he went missing in the city." The Zhang Clan Head shook his head.
"What should I do?"
"However, I heard that he had a conflict on the day of the exam. That person's name was Lin Li, and he was a young man. He passed the exam and is currently with you." The Zhang Clan Head said.
"Lin Li?" Han Feicheng frowned. He already had an impression of Zhang family head saying those two words.
Although Lin Long's performance these two days was not particularly eye-catching, but he still had that bit of ability, so he naturally had some impression of him.
"I don't know if he has anything to do with the disappearance that he came here for, but I would rather kill a thousand than let one of them off!" At this point, the Zhang Clan Head's face revealed a cold and fierce expression.
Then, his expression relaxed as he looked at Han Feicheng. "But he's one of you right now, so I came over to ask you, Young Master Han."
"Clan Head Zhang, I know what you mean. He should be at the academy right now. I'll bring you there. When the time comes, you can directly bring him away." Han Feicheng laughed.
"Will Master Ling say anything?" The Zhang Clan Head asked.
"Relax, my master has never seen these disciples before. Moreover, there is no power backing Lin Li. Nothing will happen to him." Han Feicheng said.
"That's good." The Zhang Clan Head immediately revealed a smile on his face.
Han Feicheng immediately led the Zhang Clan Head out. Soon, they arrived at the academy.
The academy in this courtyard wasn't small. It seemed like it could house around fifty to sixty people to read books.
Han Feicheng who walked in saw Lin Long who was reading a book on a chair.
"Lin Li, come with me." Han Feicheng said as he looked towards Lin Long.
Raising his head, Lin Long saw Han Feicheng and an unfamiliar middle-aged man standing at the entrance.
"Yes, eldest senior brother." Lin Long immediately replied.
Although the person looked a little unfriendly, Han Feicheng was still the eldest senior brother, so he didn't dare to do anything to him.
With that, he stood up and walked over.
"Eh, why is the Zhang Clan Head here?"
"Although I've heard that the Zhang Clan is on good terms with the Eldest Senior Brother, they have never seen us before. Why are they suddenly here today?"
"Furthermore, I heard that the Zhang Family is searching everywhere for the missing Zhang to rush over. From the looks of it, could it be related to Lin Li?"
"I don't know about that. I only know one thing, and that is that Lin Li and Zhang Qian had a conflict during the exam."
"It seems that the Zhang Clan became suspicious just because of this."
? ?.
While walking over, Lin Long heard the people around him whispering to each other.
Han Feicheng clearly heard something. He stared at them and said, "You guys keep your mouths shut!"
These people were so frightened that they quickly shut their mouths.
"Lin Li, I'm just asking you a few questions, don't be nervous." Then, Han Feicheng looked at Lin Long and smiled.
At this time, he once again had the appearance of a senior that was filled with warmth.
Although he said that, Lin Long realized that they were obviously bringing him towards the main entrance.
Looks like the Zhang Family Patriarch is bringing him out for interrogation, Lin Long thought.
Once he brought him out of this place, torture would naturally not be lacking. However, Lin Long knew that things were not that simple. Even if he could not get any information from the other party, he might just lock himself up forever or simply kill him.
Naturally, Lin Long would not wait for death, but at the moment, he did not want to take action until the very last moment, since he was doing so, it would be impossible for him to learn Alchemy here.
He would only do it when he had no other choice.
Very quickly, they arrived at the entrance. At this time, Han Feicheng said to Lin Long, "Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, just go out with the Zhang Family head. Don't worry, he is just leading you out with some questions, you'll be back very soon."
"Eldest Brother, something is not right. The main question of the Zhang Family can be asked here. Bringing Junior Brother out like this is completely disrespectful to Master!" Lin Long said coldly at this time.
Han Feicheng clearly wanted to sell him out, so naturally he wouldn't give him face.
"Lin Li, are you senior brother or am I senior brother?" Hearing Lin Long's words, Han Feicheng's face turned ugly.
None of the disciples dared to give him face, and now that Lin Long dared to say such words to him, how could he not be angry?
"This has nothing to do with whether or not you are senior brother, but rather, Master's face. I think Da Shixiong, no matter what, you have to let Master know!" Lin Long said to each other.
"Good boy, it seems that you don't want to become my Junior Brother, and you don't want to become Master's disciple!" Han Feicheng said coldly.
With that, he directly said to the Zhang Family Head, "Leader Zhang, this person is no longer our person, he is no longer my Master's disciple. You can directly take him away!"
"Many thanks to Young Master Han." The Zhang Clan Head could not help but laugh.
After he finished speaking, he wanted to reach out and grab Lin Long.
Just then, a voice came from the side, "Wait!"
A few people turned to look and realized that a person was walking towards them. It was Master Ling's second disciple, Zheng Le.
"Second Junior Brother, why are you here?" Han Feicheng frowned as he looked at Zheng Le.
"I just don't want a junior with decent strength to be chased out by you, senior brother." Zheng Le said with an expressionless face.
"Second Junior Brother, Lin Li disobeyed my orders, so I could only chase him out." Han Feicheng said coldly.
"Big Senior, although you have more authority than me, I have already reported this to Master. So, even if you want to chase Junior-apprentice Brother Lin out, you will have to wait a while to see Master's decision." Zheng Le said.
"You actually told Master!" Han Feicheng couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Thank you, senior apprentice-brother." Zheng Le said.
"But, so what if I told Master? Will Master protect a disciple that he has never seen before?" Han Feicheng said coldly.
"I, I don't know about this." Zheng Le said with his usual expressionless face.
"Zheng Le, I don't understand. Why are you going against me in this matter?" Han Feicheng stared at Zheng Le as he spoke.
"Like I said earlier, I don't want a disciple with decent strength and talent to be kicked out." Zheng Le said.2
"Very well, then I will wait and see if Master will stand on my side or choose to stand on yours!" Han Feicheng said coldly.
He was confident about himself, because his knowledge of alchemy was much higher than Zheng Le's. Previously, even if he and Zheng Le were at odds, Master Ling would still stand on his side.
Moreover, this time there was still the Zhang Family Head. If Master Ling stood on Zheng Le's side, he would definitely offend the Zhang Family.
Han Feicheng believed that his master wouldn't do that.
Immediately, the few of them stood where they were, waiting for news from Master Ling.
