Young Master Han, what business do you have with our Zhang Family? "Seeing Han Fei Cheng, the guards at the Zhang Family's door immediately greeted him respectfully.
As the eldest disciple of Master Ling, they didn't dare to be disrespectful to Han Feicheng.
"I have something to discuss with your master. Is your master here?" Han Feicheng asked directly.
"Our Patriarch is here. Young Master Han, please come in." With that, one of them walked in with Han Feicheng, and the other immediately went to inform the leader of the Zhang family.
As soon as Han Feicheng sat in the hall of the Zhang family, the leader of the Zhang family walked in.
"Young Master Han, what brings you here?" The head of the Zhang Family greeted Han Feicheng with a radiant smile.
"Here's the thing. Your son passed the exam, but he hasn't come to our place for the past two days, so I came to ask if something happened to the Zhang family," Han Feicheng said.
"What? Didn't he report to your place in the past two days?" The head of the Zhang family was shocked.
"Exactly." Han Feicheng nodded.
"Where did that brat go?" The Zhang Clan's head couldn't help but frown.
He couldn't help but feel that something was wrong because he hadn't seen Zhang Xuan rushing over in the past few days.
"Please wait here for a moment, I'll go and ask those servants!" The head of the Zhang Clan said with a frown.
"Okay, I'll drink tea here and wait." Han Feicheng nodded.
The Patriarch of the Zhang Family immediately left the hall. After asking around outside, his expression became even more unsightly.
This was because the information he received was that after Zhang rushed over and brought a few people out, they had not returned, and those people did not appear again.
Did something happen? He could not help but have such a thought.
If it was any other time, he might have guessed that Zhang Lai Lai would go somewhere outside of Shuangquan City, but these two days were the time to report to Master Ling. Under normal circumstances, Zhang Lai Lai Lai would definitely go.
Such an opportunity was hard to come by for Zhang Lai.
"Immediately bring people out to search!" He immediately accepted the order.
The originally quiet Zhang family immediately became noisy. Soon, the people of the Zhang family left the Zhang family to look for Zhang.
Only then did the Zhang Clan's clan head return to the main hall.
"Zhang Family Master, did something happen?" Han Feicheng couldn't help but ask when he saw that the Zhang Family Master had returned after so long.
"He seems to have gone missing. I've sent people out to look for him, but I'm not sure if they can find him." The Zhang Family Head frowned.
"Really?" Han Feicheng was a little surprised.
"Young Master Han, you can go back first. If there's anything, I'll inform you … Thank you for coming over to remind me about this. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known about it," the Zhang Family Head said.
"You're welcome. I'll go back first." With that, Han Feicheng walked out.
On the other side, the Zhang family investigated for a long time and came up with a piece of information. After Zhang rushed over and left Twin Springs City, he followed another person back and disappeared after that.
However, because the other person was wearing a bamboo hat when he came in, they couldn't tell who it was.
The one wearing the bamboo hat was naturally Linlong. He did this to prevent others from seeing him.
After receiving this information, the head of the Zhang family sent people to investigate in Shuangquan City. However, they did not find any clues.
This was naturally due to Linlong's foresight. If he had not captured Examiner He, Examiner Yu, and the others, the Zhang family would definitely have targeted him.
Just as the Zhang Family Head was frowning, he received a piece of information. Zhang rushed over and had a conflict with someone during the exam. That person's name was Lin Li.
After investigation, the Zhang Family Head found that Lin Li also passed the exam and was now at Master Ling's place. He immediately went to find Han Feicheng.
Seeing the Zhang Family Head come over, Han Feicheng couldn't help but ask, "Master Zhang, is there any news of Zhang rushing over?"
"No, there are no clues either. I only know that he went missing in the city." The Zhang Family Head shook his head.
"Is that so? What should we do?"
"However, I received news that Zhang rushed over and had a conflict with someone on the day of the exam. That person's name is Lin Li, a young man. He passed the exam and is now with you," the Zhang Family Head said.
"Lin Li?" Han Feicheng frowned. He had an impression of this name when he heard the Zhang Family Head say it.
Although Lin Long's performance in the past two days wasn't particularly eye-catching, he was still quite capable. Naturally, Han Feicheng had some impression of him.
"I don't know if he has anything to do with Zhang rushed's disappearance. However, I'd rather kill a thousand wrongly than let one go!" Speaking of this, the Zhang Family Head revealed a cold expression.
Then, he looked at Han Feicheng and said, "However, he is now one of your people, after all. So, I came to ask you, Young Master Han."
"Zhang Family Head, I know what you mean. He should be at the academy now. I'll take you there, and you can take him away directly," Han Feicheng said with a smile.
"Master Ling won't say anything, right?" the Zhang Family Head asked.
"Don't worry. My master hasn't seen these disciples yet, and Lin Li doesn't have any forces behind him. Nothing will happen," Han Feicheng said.
"That's good." The Zhang Family Head immediately smiled.
Han Feicheng immediately walked out with the Zhang Family Head. Soon, they arrived at the academy in the courtyard.
The academy in the courtyard was not small. It seemed to be able to accommodate 50 to 60 people reading inside.
Han Feicheng walked in and immediately saw Linlong, who was reading on a chair.
"Lin Li, come with me," Han Feicheng immediately said to Linlong.
Raising his head, Linlong saw Han Feicheng and an unfamiliar middle-aged man standing at the door.
"Yes, Eldest Senior Brother," Linlong immediately said.
Although the man looked a little unfriendly, Han Feicheng was the Eldest Senior Brother after all. He didn't dare to do anything to him now.
After saying that, he stood up and walked over.
"Hey, why is the Zhang Family Head here?"
"Although I heard that the Zhang Family has a good relationship with Eldest Senior Brother, I've never seen him come here before. Why did he suddenly come today?"
"And I heard that the Zhang Family is looking for the missing Zhang Rushed. It seems that this has something to do with Lin Li."
"I don't know about that. I can only confirm one thing. That is, Lin Li and Zhang Rushed had a conflict during the exam because of Zhao Qian."
"It seems that this incident has aroused the suspicion of the Zhang Family."
…
Along the way, Linlong heard the people around him whispering.
Han Feicheng obviously heard something. He stared at these people and said, "Watch your mouths!"
These people were so scared that they immediately shut their mouths.
Then, Han Feicheng looked at Linlong and said with a smile, "Lin Li, I'm just asking you something. Don't be nervous."
At this time, he looked like a gentle Senior Brother.
Although that was what he said, Linlong realized that they were obviously leading him to the door.
It seemed that the Zhang Family Head was going to bring him out for interrogation, Linlong thought.
Once he was brought out, he would definitely be tortured. However, Linlong knew that things were not that simple. Even if he couldn't get any answers, the other party might lock him up forever or kill him.
Of course, Linlong wouldn't sit still and wait for death. However, he didn't want to do anything until the last moment. After all, if he did, it would be impossible for him to learn alchemy here.
He would only do it when he had no other choice.
Soon, they arrived at the door. At this time, Han Feicheng said to Linlong, "Junior Brother Lin, you can go out with the Zhang Family Head. Don't worry, he's just asking you some questions. He'll bring you back soon."
"Eldest Senior Brother, something is wrong. The Zhang Family Head can ask questions here. It's completely disrespectful to Master to bring you out like this!" Linlong said coldly.
Han Feicheng was obviously going to sell him out. Naturally, he wouldn't give him any face.
"Lin Li, are you the Senior Brother or am I the Senior Brother?" Upon hearing Linlong's words, Han Feicheng's face darkened.
None of the disciples who came in dared to give him face. Now that Linlong actually dared to say such words to him, how could he not be angry?
"This has nothing to do with whether I'm the Senior Brother or not. It has to do with Master's face. I think you should inform Master no matter what!" Linlong argued.
"Good lad, looks like you don't want to be my Junior Brother or Master's disciple anymore!" Han Feicheng said coldly.
After saying that, he said to the Zhang Family Head, "Zhang Family Head, this person is no longer one of us. He's no longer my Master's disciple. You can take him away directly!"
"Thank you, Young Master Han." The Zhang Family Head couldn't help but smile.
After saying that, he wanted to reach out to grab Linlong.
At this time, a voice suddenly came from the side. "Wait!"
The few of them turned around and saw a person walking towards them. It was Master Ling's second disciple, Zheng Le.
"Second Junior Brother, why are you here?" Looking at Zheng Le, Han Feicheng couldn't help but frown.
"I just don't want a capable Junior Brother to be chased out by you, Senior Brother," Zheng Le said expressionlessly.
"Second Junior Brother, this Lin Li disobeyed my orders, so I could only chase him out," Han Feicheng said coldly.
"Eldest Senior Brother, although you have more authority than me, I have already reported this matter to Master. So, even if you still want to chase Junior Brother Lin out, you have to wait for a while and see what Master thinks," Zheng Le said.
"You actually told Master!" Han Feicheng couldn't help but exclaim.
"Senior Brother, please understand," Zheng Le said.
"But, so what if I told Master? Would Master protect a disciple that he has never seen before?" Han Feicheng said coldly.
"This, I don't know, Junior Brother," Zheng Le said expressionlessly.
"Zheng Le, I don't understand. Why are you going against me on this matter?" Han Feicheng stared at Zheng Le and said.
"It's the same as before. I don't want a capable and talented disciple to be chased out," Zheng Le said.
"Very well, then I will wait and see whether Master will choose to stand on my side or your side!" Han Feicheng said coldly.
He was confident in himself because his ability in alchemy was above Zheng Le's. Even if he had a disagreement with Zheng Le previously, Master Ling would still stand on his side.
Moreover, this time, the Zhang Family Head was here. 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.
Thus, the few of them stood on the spot and waited for Master Ling's news.
