"Jing Yan, my dear friend! I am Zhang Yibing, the head of the Zhang family in Haofeng City, and these few around me are all elders of the Zhang family!" Zhang Yibing's attitude was quite polite, and he did not show it on his face because of Jing Yan's young age.
An expression of contempt.
Everyone in the Zhang family still attaches great importance to Jing Yan who comes from Daoyi College.
Otherwise, Zhang Yibing would not have brought many family elders over to see Jing Yan.
Zhang Yibing, the clan leader, and many of the elders present were also at the innate realm. Their status in Haofeng City was relatively high.
"Jing Yan, please take a seat!" After Zhang Yibing introduced himself and others, he motioned for Jing Yan to take a seat.
Everyone sat down.
"I wonder, little friend Jing Yan, what's the matter with you coming to my Zhang family in Haofeng City from Lanqu County?" Zhang Yibing asked directly after sitting down.
After hearing this, Jing Yan pondered for a moment.
"Clan Chief Zhang, is there a female member of the Zhang family named Zhang Min at Daoyi College?" Jing Yan asked after careful consideration.
Although I checked Zhang Min's registered personal information when I was at Daoyi College, it's better to make sure.
"Zhang Min? Yes, Zhang Min is the daughter of the ninth elder of my Zhang family. She entered Daoyi College five years ago." Zhang Yibing nodded.
He looked at Jing Yan.
Jing Yan is also a student of Daoyi College. Now that Jing Yan mentions Zhang Min, it means that Jing Yan must know Zhang Min. They are both students of Daoyi College, so it is normal for them to know each other.
"Then I've come to the right place." Jing Yan's expression was heavy. He stood up and took out a sarcophagus from the Sumeru ring.
Seeing Jing Yan take out a coffin, Zhang Yibing and others' expressions changed, and they even stared at Jing Yan with somewhat annoyed eyes.
It's not pleasant to have a coffin brought out when you come to your door.
"Senior Sister Zhang Min has passed away. Now, she is in this sarcophagus." Jing Yanlian explained.
After hearing Jing Yan's words, the expressions of Zhang Yibing and others changed again.
They didn't know Zhang Min was dead yet.
Lanqu County City is far away from Haofeng City. Although there is an office where the Zhang family is responsible in Lanqu County City. However, Daoyi College is not accessible to ordinary people, so the Zhang family has not heard of the news of Zhang Min's death.
Know.
It is normal for a warrior like Zhang Min not to return to his family once in three to five years after entering Daoyi Academy.
Take Jing Yan, for example, after he joined Daoyi College, it took more than a year before he returned to Donglin City for the first time. This was because he got the news about the war between the Jing family and the Zhao family. Jing Ziqi, who joined Honglian College
, also did not return to Jing’s house for a long time.
Zhang Yibing stepped forward and opened the sarcophagus. After seeing Zhang Min's body inside, his body trembled slightly.
Zhang Min can join Daoyi Academy, which is already considered an incredible talent for a family like the Zhang family.
But now, Zhang Min is dead!
An angry emotion accumulated in Zhang Yibing's chest.
Several elders of the Zhang family also stepped forward and took a look at Zhang Min inside the sarcophagus. Everyone had expressions of grief and indignation on their faces.
At this time, Jing Yan didn't know what he could say to comfort the Zhang family.
"Jing Yan! How did Zhang Min die?" an elder of the Zhang family said in a deep voice.
"Senior Sister Zhang Min was killed by a student from Daoyi College named Qian Zhen. This incident also has something to do with me. Qian Zhen had a younger brother named Qian Bo. This Qian Bo was misbehaving and domineering in the outer courtyard of Daoyi College.
.Seeing that I was a newcomer who had just joined Daoyi Academy, he wanted to extort my academy points. I refused to give him points, so he tried to kill me, but he was not as strong as me, and I ended up killing him."
"Qian Bo's brother Qian Zhen was furious because of his brother's death. He wanted to seek revenge from me, but I happened to not be in Daoyi College at the time. So, he vented his anger on Senior Sister Zhang Min."
Jing Yan told the entire incident in as simple a language as possible.
For these Zhang family members, Jing Yan still hopes to tell them the truth and does not want to deceive them.
As for whether they would hold a grudge against him because of this, Jing Yan couldn't care less.
"So, Zhang Min's death was caused by you?" The elder looked at Jing Yan with a sharp look.
"Yes, it does have something to do with me." Jing Yan nodded, "After I found out about this, I also killed Qian Zhen as a way of avenging Senior Sister Zhang Min."
"Huh! Everyone is dead, what's the use of revenge?" the elder roared angrily.
"Third Elder!" Zhang Yibing glanced at the elder who roared at Jing Yan, "Zhang Min is dead. People cannot be resurrected after death. Jing Yan is a guest from afar. He brought Zhang Min's body back and returned it.
Revenge for Zhang Min. Speaking of which, we have to thank little friend Jing Yan."
Zhang Yibing is a very reasonable person.
The three Zhang Ming snorted again, but did not say anything. A sensible person, even if he was very angry, knew that if Jing Yan was telling the truth, then Jing Yan could not be blamed for Zhang Min's death.
"Clan Leader Zhang, I'm sorry for this matter. However, the matter is irreversible, and I also regret that I was not at Daoyi College at that time." Jing Yan said sincerely, "I know that no matter how much I say now, I can't make up for anything.
.”
"Little friend Jing Yan, you did not kill Zhang Min. Our Zhang family cannot blame you." Zhang Yibing waved his hand.
"Come here!" Immediately, he shouted outside.
A guard walked in quickly.
"Take little friend Jing Yan to rest." Zhang Yibing said to the guard.
"Little friend Jing Yan, the family elders and I have to arrange Zhang Min's funeral arrangements, so I can't accompany you for the time being. Please forgive me for any indifference." Zhang Yibing said to Jing Yan again.
"It doesn't matter." Jing Yan shook his head and said.
"Well! If you want to leave Haofeng City and return to Lanqu County, you can leave at any time. Before you leave, please tell me that you traveled all the way to bring Zhang Min's body back, and my Zhang family should give you some
Remuneration." Zhang Yibing changed his mind and said again.
"I'll leave after Senior Sister Zhang Min's funeral arrangements are taken care of." Jing Yan thought for a moment and said.
Naturally, Jing Yan would not ask for the remuneration mentioned by Zhang Yibing. However, in this atmosphere, it was not convenient for Jing Yan to argue about the remuneration issue.
Next, Jing Yan followed the guards to the guest room in the Zhang family's courtyard and stayed temporarily.
After the guard left, Jing Yan was the only one left in the guest room, and the surrounding area was very quiet.
Jing Yan sighed helplessly and shook his head.
More than half an hour later, a figure walked in from outside.
The person who came in was a girl who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a light green dress.
"Are you my sister's friend Jing Yan?" The girl asked immediately when she saw Jing Yan, with tears in her eyes and a slight frown on her eyebrows.
"I'm Jing Yan." As soon as Jing Yan heard the other party's words, he guessed that this girl should be Zhang Min's sister.
And judging from her appearance, the girl in front of her is indeed very similar to Zhang Min.
