movements; come to the rescue
The Blackwood Stronghold had been burnt to ashes by a large fire and all the bandits had been exterminated!
This news spread to various places at a very fast speed as if it had wings. The villages in the vicinity of Mt. Blackwood, which had normally been tyrannized by the bandits, were all jubilant because their abducted women had returned safely, and more importantly, because that loathsome bandit den no longer existed.
The major merchants in Ganling City and Luoshi City were so excited that they celebrated this too. From now on, they finally did not have to be anxious when transporting goods between the cities.
Unlike these excited, joyful people, the Zhang mansion in Luoshi City appeared to be somewhat gloomy at the moment. This oppressive atmosphere was created by Zhang Zhenshan, who was sitting in the head seat in the living room reading a letter in his hands with an unsightly expression.
After reading the letter, he lowered his head and pondered in silence for a while. Then he raised his head and looked at the housekeeper on one side, saying: “Make some preparations. I need to leave for Baifeng City immediately!”
“Yes, master.”
The housekeeper answered then hurriedly went to instruct his subordinates to make preparations. When he walked out of the door, he happened to bump head-on into a person. He lowered his head and saluted at once, saying: “Young master.”
“Humph.” That person replied casually with a snort then stepped into the room. Hiding his arrogant, bossy expression, he bowed slightly in salute to Zhang Zhenshan and asked carefully: “Father, you… want to go out?” His voice seemed to contain some anticipation.
This man had fair and clear complexion and was handsome, but he could not conceal the brutality and ruthlessness which occasionally flashed in his eyes — this was none other than Zhang Yang!
Seeming to have something on his mind, Zhang Zhenshan said casually: “Yeah, I’m taking a trip back to the school…”
Then he cast a look at his happy-looking son, frowned and said solemnly: “You’re thinking that after I leave, you can idle about and run amok all day long, right?”
“Er…” Zhang Yang had not expected his father to be able to see through his own mind. With a somewhat flustered expression, he momentarily did not know what to say.
“Humph! You think I don’t know what you normally do? All day long you visit brothels and sap your spirit by seeking pleasure! That girl of the Liu family is already about to become a middle Soul Warrior but you’re not even a late Soul Personage yet!
