C280 Going to the Zhen Family
In the spacious carriage, Yang Fan and Zhen Xinru sat on one side.
The middle-aged butler was driving the carriage, and the interior of the carriage was very quiet.
Yang Fan looked at Zhen Xinru, took a deep breath, and said, "Miss Zhen, the thing you want me to help you with is to help you take the position of the successor of the Zhen Family. You think too highly of me."
After he defeated Qi Sha, he was naturally hired by Zhen Xinru. After that, he immediately set off for the Zhen Family.
Just now, Zhen Xinru told him. What he needed to do was actually to help Zhen Xinru become the sole successor of the Zhen Family. As an outsider, how could he help?
According to Zhen Xinru's introduction, the Zhen Family had two Nirvana Stage Tribulation One warriors, and he was only a God Refining Stage Layer Five warrior.
Even if he used all of his techniques, his combat strength was comparable to any God Refining Stage Layer Seven warrior, or even a little higher. However, the gap between him and a Nirvana Stage was still indescribable.
Under such circumstances, how could he affect the choice of the Zhen Family's successor?
Zhen Xinru saw Yang Fan's expression and knew that he had misunderstood her. She quickly explained, "Young Master Yang, it's not what you think. Listen to me carefully."
...
After listening to Zhen Xinru's explanation, Yang Fan frowned.
The Zhen Family was organizing a family examination this time, and the content of the examination was to see who was stronger. The other tests, such as moral values, were just excuses.
In the end, the Martial Tao World still talked about strength.
This time, the disciples of the Zhen Family were allowed to participate in the test, and they were allowed to ask for an external helper. This assessment tested interpersonal relationships.
In this examination, the disciples of the Zhen Family and the external helper could join hands.
Whoever won the first place would be the only heir to the Zhen Family.
According to what Zhen Xinru said, Yang Fan knew that there were a total of sixteen direct disciples participating in this examination. Apart from him and Zhen Xinru, there were fifteen people remaining. Including the external help, there were also thirty people left.
To stand out from these thirty people, it was definitely not that easy.
The most important thing was that Zhen Xinru's strength was too weak, she was only at the God Refining Stage Layer Three.
Zhen Xinru had said that the two biggest competitors this time were both at the God Refining Stage Layer Six, together with the external help she had invited. Yang Fan was not confident that he could help Zhen Xinru get first place.
Seeing Yang Fan frown, Zhen Xinru forced a smile and said, "Young Master Yang, you don't have to worry too much. After we arrive at the Zhen Family, I will give you the reward this time."
"As for the final result, Young Master Yang only needs to do his best."
Although she felt helpless, there was nothing she could do. She knew that she was too weak.
She was very confident in Yang Fan. He could even defeat Qi Sha. It was out of her expectation that she would be able to invite such a genius this time. However, she also didn't have the confidence to win the first place.
"If only I was a little stronger..." Zhen Xinru sighed in her heart.
If her strength was a little stronger, not to say that she would definitely win the first place, at least there was hope.
However, when she thought about the position of the successor of the Zhen Family, it would fall into the hands of one of the two fellows. The anger in Zhen Xinru's heart could not be suppressed.
"You don't have to be pessimistic. There is still a chance."
Yang Fan looked at Zhen Xinru. He sighed for a while, then gritted his teeth. No one knew what he was thinking. He smiled and said, "We will talk about everything when we reach the Zhen Family."
His words were casual and relaxed, as if there was no pressure at all.
Zhen Xinru calmed down after being affected by Yang Fan's emotions, but she did not say anything else. The carriage returned to silence.
It could be seen that Zhen Xinru's mood was still not good.
However, the two of them were not familiar to begin with, so Yang Fan did not know how to comfort her. Hence, he closed his eyes and closed his eyes.
As for the Zhen Family's examination, he initially felt that it was very troublesome, but after thinking about it, he actually didn't need to worry about it. At that time, he would look at the strength of his opponents, if they were really strong.
Then, he could use the Spirit Accumulating Pill to break through at any time.
The reason why Yang Fan was not in too much of a hurry to break through to the next realm. One of the reasons was that he had to try his best to earn more battle points in every realm.
Two days later, Yang Fan finally arrived at the Zhen Family.
As soon as he entered the gate, Yang Fan felt the people in the Zhen Family. They looked at him with surprise. To be precise, they were looking at Zhen Xinru.
He was standing beside Zhen Xinru, so he was brought into the crowd's line of sight.
The gazes of these people were first surprised, then followed by looks of disdain and ridicule.
Regarding this, Yang Fan raised his eyebrows.
He tilted his head and looked at Zhen Xinru beside him. The latter's expression was calm. However, he could feel an indescribable anger under this calmness.
Yang Fan knew that Zhen Xinru's status in the Zhen Family might not be satisfactory.
He followed Zhen Xinru to a corridor and headed towards the place where they lived.
In the corridor, he ran into two young men.
"Yo, isn't this our Second Lady? Why did she come back at this time?" One of the young men in brown robes blocked the way and asked with a smile.
Before Zhen Xinru could say anything, another person laughed and said, "In another day, it will be the family examination. Our Second Miss, although she almost let the criminals of the family escape, hence, she was assigned to a remote place to take care of the family business."
"However, she still has the qualifications to participate in the clan's examination."
The young man in the brown robe slapped his head and looked very vexed as he said, "How could I forget about this memory? I thought that the Second Miss wouldn't come to participate."
Another person immediately added, "I also just remembered. After all, the Second Miss is too busy taking care of the family business. Furthermore, she's so weak. Even if she came to participate in the Family Assessment, it would only be a disgrace."
"Haha, I didn't expect the Second Lady to be so brave. She really came back."
The two of them exchanged words and did not give Zhen Xinru a chance to speak. Furthermore, there was a clear hint of sarcasm in their tone.
Yang Fan also heard some useful information. Zhen Xinru had almost let the criminals from the Zhen Family go, so she was assigned to a remote place to take care of business.
No wonder Zhen Xinru appeared in a small town near the Defiant Wind Cliff.
Regarding these, Yang Fan only listened and did not think deeper. Anyway, this had nothing to do with him. Between him and Zhen Xinru, it was equivalent to a deal.
He tried his best to help Zhen Xinru get first place in the family examination and then take the Rootless Essence Qi Flower to escape.
The rest were the private matters of Zhen Family, and it had nothing to do with him.
Zhen Xinru glared at the two of them and said, "Zhen Ju, Zhen Yi, you two shut up! What happened back then, you two know clearly in your hearts!"
The youth in brown robe did not care about Zhen Xinru's anger at all. He continued to laugh and said, "I know very well that your brother passed the family's secret technique to an outsider and was imprisoned because of that."
"And you actually want to secretly let your brother out. Is this looking down on the rules?"
Zhen Xinru's eyes seemed to be burning with anger, but she also knew that these two people were deliberately saying these things to anger her. Even if she explained, it would only be a waste of words.0
At this time, the young man in the brown robe looked at Yang Fan again and said disdainfully, "Second Miss, is this the external help you invited?"
"Tsk tsk, as expected, in these past few years, managing the family business in such a remote place, I haven't been able to recognize any decent young elites."
