Douluo Continent: Saving Zhang Lexuan at the Start

Chapter 4: Departure, Being Targeted!

At ten years old, Zhang Lexuan is a Soul Master; her talent is truly unparalleled.

Like Ye Ying, Zhang Lexuan also possesses innate full soul power, and her martial soul is the Zhang family's inherited martial soul, the Moon.

Despite her exceptional talent, Zhang Lexuan is still just a little girl and enjoys playing around.

The two played around in the backyard for a while until Zhang Yanxin, who looked a little unwell, came to the backyard. Only then did Zhang Lexuan let go of the little hand that had been tormenting Ye Ying and hug Zhang Yanxin like a swallow pouncing on its mother.

"Dad, you're back!"

Not wanting his own low spirits to affect his daughter, Zhang Yanxin instantly smiled and affectionately stroked Zhang Lexuan's soft hair.

Ye Ying witnessed the harmony and warmth between father and daughter, which strengthened her resolve. Shrek... hehe.

Holding Zhang Lexuan's small hand, Zhang Yanxin approached Ye Ying and said gently, "Ying'er, you've awakened your martial spirit too, right? Can Uncle take a look?"

Ye Ying did not refuse and released the Moon Soul Bow directly. An elegant and slender silver-white longbow appeared, just like a work of art.

Anyway, Uncle Zhang, you didn't say how many to release, so I'll just assume one (=^▽^=).

With a pair of dark, jewel-like eyes full of surprise, Zhang Lexuan felt as if her martial soul was being drawn to the Moon Soul Bow.

"Dad, I..."

There were no outsiders here, so Zhang Lexuan didn't hesitate and was about to speak when Zhang Yanxin stopped her.

Zhang Yanxin knew the secrets of their martial spirits perfectly. If they cultivated together, their cultivation speed could increase by 1.5 times, which was 50% faster than their usual cultivation!

Therefore, the most outstanding younger generation of each family would meet in advance; if both were male, they would be brothers, and if both were female, they would be sisters.

If it's a man and a woman, they are necessarily a married couple. This situation has never been related to the strength of their families; it has always been this way.

After Ye Ying put away his martial spirit, Zhang Lexuan seemed to understand something. A hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she took Ye Ying's hand.

The two were very young, and their actions didn't seem ambiguous at all. In the eyes of adults, it was just that the two children had a good relationship.

Led by Zhang Yanxin, the three of them arrived at the back of Zhang's house, at a simple farmhouse courtyard where four elderly people were sitting.

Besides Ye Zhenting and Feng Xin'er, the other elderly couple looked rather haggard.

Especially the old man, Zhang Lexuan's grandfather Zhang Tianming, was pale and looked like he was recovering from a serious illness.

When the three arrived, the four elders noticed them. Zhang Tianming smiled and beckoned to Zhang Yanxin, "Come in, let me see, this is Xuanxuan's fiancé."

The old man spoke very bluntly, and Zhang Lexuan's fair face flushed red instantly. She unconsciously tightened her grip on Ye Ying's small hand, causing Ye Ying to wince in pain.

Fortunately, Zhang Lexuan reacted in time, her eyes filled with guilt, and she kept rubbing Ye Ying's small hands.

Ye Zhenting and Feng Xin'er were very satisfied with Zhang Lexuan, and they took the initiative to suggest, "Tianming, the two little ones get along well, how about I leave Ying'er with you for a year?"

To Ye Zhenting's surprise, Zhang Tianming refused outright, "No, brother, not only can your grandson not stay in our Zhang family! When you leave in a few days, you must take Le Xuan with you!"

Zhang Tianming had already noticed some clues about certain things.

After all, his serious injury this time was caused by a Super Douluo using an eighth-level soul tool to launch a sneak attack.

Super Douluo are not commonplace; they are extremely rare even within the original Douluo Three Kingdoms.

If the other party really wanted to kill Zhang Tianming, it wouldn't have taken much effort at all, but they didn't intend to kill him and even let him go directly.

The fact that a Super Douluo ambushed him but didn't kill him felt like a warning shot.

After being injured, Zhang Tianming spent a long time analyzing the situation, and he believed that he had not offended anyone over the years.

The only one I've offended is Shrek.

Zhang Tianming personally refused Shrek's offers to recruit him on the first two occasions.

This is why Zhang Tianming disagreed with Ye Ying staying in the Zhang family, and even wanted Ye Zhenting to take Zhang Lexuan away with him.

Hearing his old brother's intense words, Ye Zhenting also noticed some clues. Although he didn't understand what was going on, he was certain that it had a lot to do with the Zhang family itself.

"Okay, brother, I can agree to that, but is there anything you can't tell me?"

Zhang Tianming couldn't hide it, since the matter originated from Zhang Lexuan, who was Ye Ying's fiancée, and Ye Zhenting had the right to intervene.

After explaining to Ye Zhenting about Shrek Academy's repeated visits and his serious injury, Zhang Tianming advised him, "This is just my speculation, brother. Don't spread it around, or our two families will be in big trouble."

Ye Zhenting's face darkened. He was starting to believe it, after all, what had happened to Zhang Tianming was just too bizarre.

Ye Ying, who was sitting obediently next to Zhang Lexuan, couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

He had been racking his brains about how to prevent the Zhang family from suffering this ordeal, and now this was a perfect opportunity!

Ye Ying jumped off the stool and went straight to Ye Zhenting and Zhang Tianming's side. "Grandpa, why don't you let Grandpa Zhang's family move to a place near our house? Then our two families can look after each other since we're both in the Longyue Mountains!"

Upon hearing Ye Ying's words, Ye Zhenting glared at him irritably, "You brat, the Zhang family is the Zhang family, and the Ye family is the Ye family, understand?!"

Ye Ying was completely unaware that he had made a common-sense mistake within the family.

That means that no matter how good the relationship is between the two families, they will still maintain a certain distance.

Especially now, the Zhang family and the Ye family are one weak and one strong.

If people get too close and become indistinguishable, it's easy for the stronger one to swallow up the weaker one.

Zhang Tianming didn't mind, after all, Ye Ying meant well...

The three members of the Ye family stayed at the Zhang family's house for a few days. Zhang Tianming's injuries had almost recovered, but he only had less than twenty years left to live.

When the three of them were about to leave, Zhang Lexuan, at the insistence of her grandfather, went with them to the Ye family.

Zhang Lexuan will eventually belong to the Ye family, and as the future young mistress, the Ye family will never mistreat her.

Even in cultivation, the Ye family can provide Zhang Lexuan with greater assistance.

Zhang Tianming and Zhang Yanxin watched Zhang Lexuan leave with the Ye family grandfather and grandson, feeling very reluctant to part with her.

Zhang Tianming sighed, patted Zhang Yanxin beside him, and immediately used his high-pitched voice to say, "I'm leaving this to you. Whether our Zhang family survives or not depends on you."

Outside Tianyue City, a man with gray hair and a serene face frowned slightly. "The Ye family... this is troublesome!"
