Zhou Wen originally imagined that they would head directly to the auction, but he soon learned that they weren't going to the auction together. An Sheng would be traveling with someone else.
To be precise, An Sheng and Zhou Wen were just hitching a ride. The Zhang family was also participating in the auction, so An Tianzuo had invited them to bring Zhou Wen and An Sheng along. It was equivalent to them being protected by the Zhang family.
"Isn't the An family on bad terms with the six families? Why did the Zhang family agree to bring us along? "Zhou Wen found it odd.
"It's not just us. Even the relationship between the six families is average. The competition is even more intense than outside, but the benefits are another matter. The Zhang family has a huge need for Essence Gold, and we also have a need for the Zhang family. Our relationship is rather solid. However, the Zhang family seemed to want to reject it in the beginning, but for some reason, they agreed, "An Sheng said.
After arriving, a butler-like person received An Sheng and Zhou Wen and brought them to a private airport.
"Old butler, may I know who's in charge of the Zhang family this time?" An Sheng asked.
The Zhang family had many experts, so An Sheng wanted to find out first so that he wouldn't be rude.
"The one going to the Zither Sea is Third Master's only daughter," the old butler said.
An Sheng couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that. The Zhang family had three brothers in the previous generation. The three brothers were especially good at having sons, so they had many sons. The eldest and second brothers each had seven to eight sons. The third brother also had two sons, but he only had one girl.
The entire Zhang family only had one daughter. It was obvious how pampered she was.
Legend had it that all the brothers of the Zhang family rushed back to celebrate Third Master's daughter's birthday. Each of them prepared a rare treasure. It was an extremely shocking scene.
Of course, this was only a legend. Because the Zhang family only had one daughter, she was raised like a princess. Therefore, the protection she received from a young age could be said to be meticulous. Even now, people who were not members of the Zhang family did not know what her name was, let alone know what she looked like.
An Sheng wanted to ask the old butler about the Zhang family's little princess's name, but the old butler clearly didn't want to say too much. He had already boarded the plane.
An Sheng told Zhou Wen about the Zhang family's little princess and said with a smile, "We're considered lucky today. Perhaps we'll have a chance to see that little princess's true appearance."
The two of them boarded the plane, and the old butler brought them inside. The interior of the plane was decorated with all sorts of pink decorations, which made it look very feminine.
In the cabin sat a young woman who looked to be in her twenties. She was somewhat different from the little princess he had imagined. At the very least, she was older than he had imagined.
However, when An Sheng and Zhou Wen saw her face clearly, their eyes widened.
"What's wrong? You don't know me anymore?" The woman looked at the two of them and said with a smile.
"Zhang Yuzhi … You're from the Zhang Clan?" Zhou Wen naturally recognized her. Back when he was returning home with An Sheng, Li Xuan, and Ah Lai, he had met this woman on the way and even given her a ride.
"What you're saying is very strange. You've already called me Zhang Yuzhi. If I'm not a member of the Zhang family, can I be a member of your Zhou family?" Zhang Yuzhi said with a smile.
Zhou Wen wasn't good with words to begin with. He opened his mouth, unsure of how to explain.
"Sit down. The plane is about to take off," Zhang Yuzhi said generously as she pointed to the seat beside her.
"What's that?" After the plane took off, Zhou Wen looked out the window and realized that there were many large white birds outside. They looked like immortal cranes, but they were much larger in size. Furthermore, there were quite a number of them. They flew around the plane in flocks.
On careful look, Zhou Wen realized that there was a person sitting on the back of every immortal crane.
"That's a Sky Crane Companion Beast unique to the Zhang family. It's a top-notch Epic creature. Its flying and combat abilities are very strong," An Sheng explained.
Zhou Wen immediately understood that they were experts from the Zhang family who were protecting Zhang Yuzhi.
Zhou Wen looked at Zhang Yuzhi with an odd expression. With her status, why would she break down alone in the wilderness?
As though sensing Zhou Wen's puzzlement, Zhang Yuzhi said with a smile, "I had some conflict with my family last time, so I went out alone to relax. I never expected something to happen. Thankfully, I met you. Otherwise, I would have been a little afraid alone."
"It's no wonder. Why did the Zhang family reject us in the beginning but later agree to bring us along? It should be because of you, right?" An Sheng said.
Zhang Yuzhi nodded and said, "With our family's relationship with the An family, it's fine to bring you along. However, my family doesn't wish for strangers to approach me, so I originally planned on rejecting it."
As they were all acquaintances, Zhou Wen and An Sheng didn't care about their statuses. Instead, they had a pleasant chat with Zhang Yuzhi.
After chatting for a while, the old butler walked over and said, "Miss, it's time for you to rest."
Zhou Wen and An Sheng found it odd. What did he mean by it was time for her to rest? Zhang Yuzhi had been sitting on a comfortable chair and hadn't done anything.
"Sorry, I need to rest for a while. If you need anything, just tell Uncle Fu." Zhang Yuzhi seemed to want to stay, but the old butler said that it was time for her to rest. Zhang Yuzhi had no choice but to stand up and say to the two of them.
Although Zhou Wen and An Sheng found it odd, they weren't too familiar with each other, so it wasn't appropriate for them to say anything. They watched Zhang Yuzhi walk through the door in front of the cabin.
Zhou Wen was curious and wanted to see where Zhang Yuzhi was resting.
Legend has it that passenger planes in the past had first-class cabins. Could it be that there's a place similar to first-class on this plane? Zhou Wen activated the Truth Listener earring's ability to see what the place Zhang Yuzhi was resting looked like. He didn't have any ill intentions.
The three-dimensional map of the plane immediately appeared in Zhou Wen's mind. In front of the passenger cabin was a separate cabin. Zhang Yuzhi pushed open the door and walked in.
However, when Zhou Wen saw the situation, his expression changed slightly.
The cabin wasn't big, but there were many things placed inside. The layout was very strange. There were many long strips of paper hanging inside. As Truth Listener's ability couldn't see the colors or discern the patterns, Zhou Wen only knew that they were long strips of paper. He wasn't sure if there were any drawings on the paper.
However, there was no reclining chair or bed inside. Zhou Wen only saw a strange box that was round at the bottom and small at the top.
No matter how Zhou Wen looked at it, the shape of the box looked like a funeral item used by humans before the dimensional storms.
It can't be a coffin, right? Could it be a new type of massage equipment? As Zhou Wen thought to himself, he saw Zhang Yuzhi open the lid and lie down in the box.
Zhou Wen could clearly see that there was no massage equipment in the box. No matter how he looked at it, it was a coffin.
