“I... Why can't I move?” Zhang Jianfeng wanted to get up from the bed, but he couldn't move.
Zhang Hao sighed and said, “Jianfeng, your bones were all crushed, so...”
Zhang Jianfeng seemed to have thought of something and said in despair, “Does that mean I'll be a cripple from now on?”
Zhang Hao looked at Zhang Jianfeng and sighed, “Don't be like that. Who says you'll be a cripple from now on? Just now, I learned from the Physician that there are actually some treasures that can heal your injuries.”
A glimmer of hope flashed in Zhang Jianfeng's eyes, and he said with some hesitation, “But such treasures must be very expensive, right?”
Zhang Hao looked at Zhang Jianfeng firmly and said, “That's not necessarily true. Maybe it just happens to be very cheap. You are my Brother, no matter what, I will definitely heal you.”
“Brother, Xiaomin believes you will get better,” Zhang Xiaomin said.
Zhang Hao looked at Zhang Jianfeng and comforted him, “Jianfeng, I will definitely avenge this for you, but you must not give up.”
Zhang Jianfeng nodded firmly, but still hesitated for a moment, looking at Zhang Hao and saying, “Zhang Hao, that Zhang Kuanglong's strength is very terrifying. I... I advise you to...”
Zhang Hao knew that Zhang Jianfeng meant to advise him to give up when things were impossible. He smiled bitterly at Zhang Jianfeng and said, “Jianfeng, don't worry!”
In the courtyard, Jin Bao was already waiting there.
“Boss, you're looking for me? How is Jianfeng?” Jin Bao looked at Zhang Hao with some concern.
Zhang Hao sighed and said to Jin Bao, “Well, his situation is a bit serious, but I have a very important matter that I must entrust to you.”
Jin Bao's expression became serious and he said, “Boss, please speak.”
Zhang Hao looked at the bright moon in the distance and said lightly, “Tomorrow, I will fight Zhang Kuanglong. If the situation is unfavorable to me, you immediately arrange for someone to take my Family, Jianfeng, and Xiaomin away together.”
“Ah!”
Jin Bao's expression became solemn. Because he could tell that Zhang Zekai's words were actually entrusting him with the aftermath.
“Boss, do you really have no confidence at all?” Jin Bao looked at Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao shook his head and said, “No, I have some confidence, but it's still necessary to prepare for the unexpected.”
Jin Bao's expression became serious, and he nodded to Zhang Hao, saying, “Boss, I understand what you mean.”
Zhang Hao patted Jin Bao's shoulder and said, “Then I'll leave everything to you.”
“Okay... Then I'll go get ready...”
Just as Jin Bao was about to leave, he suddenly slapped his head and said apologetically, “Boss, this is a letter the Princess asked me to give you. Take a look...”
Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment and said, “Zi Qian?”
After Jin Bao left, Zhang Hao opened the letter. There were only a few words: Tomorrow, Zi Qian will be with you.
Zhang Hao knew that Zi Qian would definitely come to watch his fight with Zhang Kuanglong tomorrow. Presumably, as long as Zhang Kuanglong killed him on the battle stage, Murong Jingtian would announce the engagement between Zhang Kuanglong and Zi Qian in public!
“Hehe, you've got a good idea, but I won't let you have your way!” Zhang Hao muttered.
The next day, the Yan Wu Field was crowded with people. The bustling crowd was even larger than the day before.
Not only the Clan Leaders of the other two major families, but also the Deputy Dean of Tianba Academy. Even people from the Royal Family came.
“Wow, look quickly, who is that girl getting off the carriage? She's too beautiful! The courtesan queen of Yichunyuan isn't even fit to carry her shoes compared to her!”
“How dare you compare her to a courtesan queen. Do you know who she is? She is the Third Princess of Watt Country, Murong Ziqian! Do you think she's beautiful?”
“Ah, isn't that the legendary number one beauty of Watt Country!”
Zhang Hao ignored the discussions of the surrounding crowd and focused his gaze on Zi Qian. Murong Ziqian's eyes quickly found Zhang Hao in the crowd. Their gazes intertwined in the air.
Although no words were spoken, it was more than a thousand words; everything was understood without saying anything.
Because this battle was the last one, the Referee presiding over it was the Second Elder, Zhang Baichuan. Zhang Baichuan was from Zhang Yanwu's faction. Naturally, he stood on his side. However, Zhang Hao didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, under the watchful eyes of the public, Zhang Hao believed that the other party couldn't pull any tricks.
Zhang Baichuan stood proudly on the battle stage, his tiger-like eyes scanning the area below the stage, and said, “Today is the final battle of the Zhang Family's annual clan competition, and also a battle that everyone is looking forward to. Now I announce, the martial arts competition begins!”
“Wait!”
Just at this moment, a cold snort was heard.
The one who appeared was Ning Xue.
Ning Xue floated onto the battle stage and stood in front of Zhang Zhenfeng.
Zhang Baichuan looked at this girl who appeared so abruptly, a little surprised, but upon seeing the movement technique she used, he didn't dare to be negligent, and only asked, “Who is this girl, and why are you stopping our competition?”
When Zhang Zekai saw Ning Xue, he naturally knew why Ning Xue had come. He smiled playfully and said nothing more, knowing that Ning Xue had come to break off the engagement.
At this moment, Zhang Hao looked at Zhang Kuanglong with some amusement.
“Who am I? I heard that Young Master Kuanglong is preparing to marry Princess Zi Qian of Waxi Country, but he has an engagement with the City Lord's Mansion of Wushuang City, so this time, I have come to break off the engagement.”
“Break off the engagement?”
At this, the Zhang Family was in an uproar.
Zhang Yanwu looked at the King of Watt Country, Murong Jingtian, with some unease. He had indeed made a marriage arrangement for his son with the son of the City Lord of Wushuang City by betrothal before birth many years ago. However, as Zhang Yanwu's ambition grew, compared to the Princess of Watt Country, the Miss Xijie of the City Lord of Wushuang City was naturally a little inferior. Therefore, Zhang Yanwu planned to resolve the engagement with Wushuang City after marrying Princess Zi Qian.
“I don't know what you're talking about?” Zhang Kuanglong looked at Ning Xue with some unease.
“You don't know? Now I, Ning Xue, announce that from now on, the engagement between Ning Xue, the Miss Xijie of the City Lord of Wushuang City, and Zhang Kuanglong is null and void. From now on, Zhang Kuanglong has nothing to do with me, Ning Xue,” Ning Xue shouted.
Zhang Kuanglong's face was a little pale. He knew that this time he had truly angered Ning Xue. Especially being publicly dumped like this dealt a great blow to Zhang Kuanglong's self-esteem.
“Miss Ning Xue, is there some misunderstanding between us?” Zhang Kuanglong forced a smile.
“There's no misunderstanding. I think you're much worse than him. From now on, he is the one I like.” Saying this, Ning Xue hugged Zhang Hao's arm.
Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment. His arm was held by Ning Xue. This was clearly a move to draw hatred towards him.
“Zhang Hao.” Zhang Kuanglong felt incredibly uncomfortable at this moment. His fiancée was actually connected to his enemy. Although this fiancée was someone they had voluntarily given up, Zhang Kuanglong still felt as if there was a light shining on his head.
“Family Head Zhang, what is the meaning of this? You need to give me an explanation.” Murong Jingtian looked at Zhang Yanwu with dissatisfaction.
