Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 184: Becoming Famous
"Your aunt ...."
At that moment the door opened. A woman sitting in a wheelchair entered the hut.
"Sister, I heard Xiao Yu has returned. Did you know that?" Zhang Bing had just returned from the herb garden that was around the hideout. Hearing a lot of people talking about Zhang Yu who had returned made her impatiently want to immediately go to the hut looking for her brother.
Who would have thought that when he arrived, Zhang Yu was already here with his brother and sister-in-law.
"Xiao Yu's? Sister-in-law?"
Xiao Mei immediately got up to hear Zhang Bing's voice. But his face changed when he saw him in a wheelchair. "Zhang Bing, why are you in a wheelchair? What's going on?"
Zhang Yu followed his mother's question. For a long time he was also curious about the condition of such an aunt. Yet every time he asked her, Zhang Bing always looked for an excuse not to answer him.
Moreover when Zhang Yu asked his father or the person within the clan, not a single person gave him an answer. It was as if the real circumstances were deliberately covered up and those who knew it were forbidden to reveal it.
"That all happened ...."
"Sister," Zhang Bing tried to stop Zhang Long from telling a story. But Zhang Long immediately shook his head asking him to be quiet.
"It's been too long to remain secret. Nor is it a mistake to hide. Zhang Yu has the ability to cure poison. Maybe he can help you get back to being healthy."
Zhang Bing raised his face to look at Zhang Yu. "really?"
"It's more or less like that," Zhang Yu replied.
At this second Zhang Bing started to sigh. "If so I'll be out for a minute."
Zhang Bing felt that he would be awkward and strange when he heard his own story. So decided to come out when her brother told Zhang Yu and his sister-in-law everything.
"You were one year old then." Zhang Long glanced at Zhang Yu. "Your mother is a talented young generation and known to many people for her looks. Not only in Qian Gu City, but also Heishan City."
"This is where all the trouble comes from. Noble Ming, the richest noble family in Heishan city is attracted to your aunt. They came to ask for Ming Jun, the first young master of the Ming noble family. But your aunt rejected him because she already liked another man named Zhen Rui."
"That rejection certainly made Ming Jun extremely angry. When Ming Jun found out the reason for the rejection was because of another man, he was determined to get rid of him. Especially when he found out that the man was Zhen Rui, the son of the Zhen family who had served the Ming Family for decades."
"Although Zhen Rui was a genius and he had a higher cultivation level than Ming Jun, but with the help of the Ming family's elder, Zhen Rui was found dead horribly."
Instantly Zhang Yu's hands clenched hearing his father's story. It was unexpected that there was such an unashamed person like Ming Jun. Even if Ming Jun was the only man left in the world, auntie would definitely not want to marry him.
“So Ming Jun also poisoned auntie?" ask Zhang Yu. However Zhang Long immediately shook his head refuting that.
"No. Your aunt wasn't poisoned. He drank the poison himself hoping that his face would go bad. He hoped that Ming Jun would no longer be interested in him. But who would have thought that poison was so vicious. Quickly all the cells of his body died, he almost lost his life if the clan had no antidote."
Zhang Yu was silent. Since the poison was too ferocious, the antidote potion alone was not enough. Although it could save aunt, but the effects of the poison made her legs paralyzed.
Tok tok...
"Second Chief, the Patriarch is already conscious. Now he wants to meet you and Zhang Yu."
Zhang Yu immediately got up from his seat hearing the Patriarch had regained his senses. They all flocked to the Patriarch's hut to see his condition. But since the hut is not so big they have to take turns.
"How does the Patriarch feel now? Is it more fit?" ask Zhang Long.
The patriarch slowly changed his position from lying down to sitting down. "If it wasn't for your son helping me neutralize the poison, maybe I'd be dead."
Zhang Yu who heard did not say anything to respond. Even ordinary people easily knew Zhang Lei's condition was very bad. It was fortunate that there was a dragon god who helped absorb the dark energy.
"Zhang Yu, is the news true?" zhang Lei asked turning to Zhang Yu.
Perhaps what he meant this time was the destruction of the Wen Clan. So Zhang Yu immediately nodded his head. "really. I've already eliminated them."
"..."
Zhang Lei did not know what else to say seeing Zhang Yu so calmly. He acted as if defeating the Wen Clan was not such an amazing thing.
However the Wen Clan was among the largest Clans in Qian Gu City who were only slightly weaker than the Zhang Clan. But Zhang Yu flattened them all on his own that even Zhang Lei himself was unsure of being able to do.
"Patriarch, since the situation in the city is under control and the Wen Clan is also gone, it's time we leave the valley of the skull."
The sentence of the Fourth Elder instantly got the response of the other elder. They also agreed for the Zhang Clan to return to the city.
In the absence of the Wen Clan, the Zhang Clan was automatically the only large clan that still survived. The entire territory of the city and the dozens of second-rate clans were under their rule.
It's decided. It was also then that the people of the Zhang Clan prepared to leave the valley of the skull. As they walked through the main street, the passersby stopped to watch hundreds of people in the group.
"Look! The Zhang Clan has returned!" exclaim them.
"Klan Zhang returned after the Wen Clan was destroyed. Are these not related to each other?"
People who don't know start to wonder. People who have heard the latest news immediately tell everyone what they know.
"You haven't heard it yet? The one who destroyed the Wen Clan was the son of the second elder, Zhang Yu. He destroyed the Wen Clan in one night."
Hordes of people on the side of the road rounded their eyes in astonishment. They instantly searched for where Zhang Yu was in the Zhang Clan's entourage. As soon as they found it, they kept staring not letting it get out of sight.
Zhang Yu did not know who told them about this. As he remembered there was no one else around the residence of the Wen Clan as it had been very late.
But when he thought about the four middle-aged men he met at the restaurant, his face immediately became tangled.
"Not wrong anymore. They must be the culprit!"
