C1468 Arriving at the Zhang Family

3In the crisscrossing branches of the trees, it was hard for the sun to reach the ground, and the few bits of light that could not be seen were like brightly colored insects crawling over the moss and the red, withered, and withered fern.1

Xu Fann and Zhang Lingfu could not do it for more than an hour. The scene in front of them gradually changed as layers of mist shrouded the forest. Zhang Lingfu explained, "I'm afraid that some people might accidentally enter the illusion."

Zhang Family were similar to other Hidden Family, they did not want to be disturbed by others. However, the real difference between Zhang Family and those Hidden Family was that Zhang Family did not concern themselves with worldly matters, while Hidden Family were different; they valued benefits more. To be frank, that group of people did not want to be bound by some secular system, and they also wanted to benefit from it.

In front of a cliff, Zhang Lingfu stopped his footsteps. Xu Fann stood to the side and watched, then he saw Zhang Lingfu cast a restriction in the air. Then, the fog in front of the two gradually disappeared and the cliff disappeared as well.

The entrance of the cave was covered with green moss, wild thorns, and thatch. On top of the hole, which was over five feet high, a large green vine was hanging down, covering the entrance of the cave. Zhang Lingfu was in front and Xu Fann was behind, the two of them entered the cave one after the other.

There was a long tunnel built inside the cave. Xu Fann and Zhang Lingfu walked for about half an hour before they finally saw the end of the tunnel.

As he walked out of the cave, the scene in front of him surprised Xu Fann. In the distance, there were layers upon layers of mountains, and on top of the tallest mountain peak in the distance, there was a palace piercing straight into the sky. The mountain was not very high, less than a thousand meters, but the cliff wall was straight, the valley was deep, and the mountains were competing with each other.

Seeing this, Xu Fann also felt that they had previously underestimated the power of Zhang Family. Xu Fann looked at Zhang Lingfu and asked, "The accumulation of Zhang Family is not bad."

Zhang Lingfu shrugged and said, "That's it." However, it wasn't hard to tell from Zhang Lingfu's expression that he was purely unwilling to admit the power of Zhang Family. Xu Fann also shook his head slightly.

"Let's go, there's no need for the past anymore. These were all left behind by the old ancestor." Zhang Lingfu seemed to have seen through Xu Fann's plan.

It was impossible for ordinary people to appear here. The two of them did not hold back and directly flew into the air. After a moment, they arrived before the palace. At this moment, Xu Fann could roughly understand the meaning behind Zhang Lingfu's words.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that this was a palace that did not look luxurious in the slightest, and the door plaque looked ordinary as well. There was nothing special about this place, and no one would have imagined that such a simple and ordinary place was actually the location of the legendary Hidden Family.

The few janitors at the door only had yellow level cultivation bases. In Xu Fann's eyes, they were no different from mortals.

Even if it was his Hidden Family, for example, the disciples guarding the Ye Family gate all had at least the cultivation of the Profound Stage level, and the hidden great sects, even more so, used cultivators at least the peak of the Profound Stage or even the Earth Stage rank to guard the mountain gate.

"Young Master, you're finally back. The Patriarch is going to send someone to find you tomorrow. It will be a thunderstorm in the morning." One of the janitors said. Zhang Lingfu did not have much of a reaction and said lightly, "Notify him. I have a friend who wants to see the Patriarch."

"Alright, Young Master, please wait a moment. This subordinate will pass on the message for you." With that, the disciple walked into the courtyard.

Not long after, that disciple came back with an unsightly expression. He saw Zhang Lingfu and said, "Young Master, the Master is waiting for you in the main hall."

"Thank you, thank you." Zhang Lingfu smiled. He did not put on any airs towards his servant, Zhang Lingfu.

The moment Xu Fann and Zhang Lingfu stepped into the yard, the disciple added, "The Patriarch seems to be in a bad mood. Young Master should be careful when you speak later."

"Got it." Zhang Lingfu's face was indifferent, as if he had quite a conflict with Patriarch of Zhang Family. Xu Fann patted Zhang Lingfu's shoulder and said something, as though a clear official could not get rid of a family matter.

The design of the main courtyard was rather unique. Within the main courtyard was a large bamboo garden, and as they walked along the corridors of the main building, they saw a rock garden. Xu Fann took a closer look and could not help but sigh in his heart. This mountain was truly a work of god. These bamboo forests resonated with the fake mountain and formed a formation to gather spirit energy.

"Xu Fann, the main hall is right in front. I won't accompany you in." Xu Fann did not seem to want to see Patriarch of Zhang Family, he smiled and patted Zhang Lingfu as he said, "There is no need to do this, we will go together. Xu Fann did not seem to want to see Patriarch of Zhang Family, he smiled and patted Zhang Lingfu as he said," There is no need to do this, we will go together.

"Alright, I'm the persistent one." As Zhang Lingfu spoke, he walked towards the main hall.

Zhang Lingfu stepped forward and pushed open the main door, and Xu Fann saw an old man wearing a violet sun scarf and a baguette. After pushing open the main door of the main hall, a breeze blew in, and the old man drifted over in the breeze.

Xu Fann stepped forward respectfully and said, "Junior greets Patriarch of Zhang Family!"

"You must be a friend of Lingfu." Patriarch of Zhang Family said. Xu Fann nodded slightly and replied, "Yes."

"Thank you for persuading this good-for-nothing brat to come back, sorry for the trouble." At this moment, Patriarch of Zhang Family finally opened his eyes. The pair of eyes had a clarity that did not match his age.

"There is no need to thank me. This junior came here for another matter. I would like to ask senior about something." Xu Fann said. Patriarch of Zhang Family glanced at Zhang Lingfu. Zhang Lingfu turned his body to the side and didn't even look at Patriarch of Zhang Family.

"Sigh." Patriarch of Zhang Family couldn't help but sigh.
