Anyone who was rejected so bluntly would not be able to maintain their composure, let alone Zhang Rufeng, the head of the family, who enjoyed a high status and noble position within the Great Wilderness. How could he not feel some anger when being rejected by a young man?

Yang Jinhe was very good at reading people's emotions. Seeing the change in

Zhang Rufeng's expression, he immediately said to appease him: “Patriarch Zhang, it's normal for Yang Chen to hesitate about such a major matter as marriage. I think it's simply because he hasn't seen Miss Yingruo. If he really meets her, he might not be able to refuse so easily.”

Yang Jinhe's words were like a gentle breeze, softening Zhang Rufeng's expression considerably.

Zhang Rufeng waved his hand: “There's no need to be so polite, Yang Family

Patriarch, I understand the reason!”

At this point, Yang Chen's refusal was so obvious that Zhang Rufeng naturally wouldn't continue to embarrass himself. However, he still didn't give up and said: “That kid Yang Chen has an exceptional talent, I just wanted Yingruo to give it a try. If she can win his favor, it would be her good fortune. If she can't, it just means her luck isn't enough.”

“This…

Both Yang Chen and Yang Jinhe were somewhat taken aback by Zhang Rufeng's change of tone.

Yang Jinhe was also confused and could only say politely: “Patriarch Zhang, you are too kind.”

“Hehe, I don't deserve such politeness. That kid Yang Chen is indeed the number one genius of the Great Wilderness, truly worthy of his title. Even I couldn't see through him on the matter of killing Zhang Long and the others.” Zhang Rufeng said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jinhe furrowed his brows: “Patriarch Zhang, you mustn't sneak careleqgly-”

“Haha, don't be so nervous, Brother Yang. And Yang Chen, with Feng Wuyang protecting you, that Horse -Thief Gang wouldn't dare to cause trouble. And once they confirm this matter, even if you admit it, it won't matter. In fact, Zhang Huaizhong has already told me.” Zhang Rufeng laughed.

Yang Chen realized that this couldn't be concealed any longer, so he said sincerely, “To be honest, I did kill Zhang Long and the other bandits. My apologies for concealing this from you, Patriarch, and I hope for your understanding.”

“This…” Yang Jinhe's eyes widened, as he hadn't expected Zhang Long and the others to have been really killed by Yang Chen.

Zhang Rufeng smiled and said, “I didn't expect you to hide so deeply. If you can handle the five bandits like Zhang Long, it just proves that your martial talent and strength are far more than what the various clans understand. Yingruo is indeed not good enough for you. However, Yang Chen, it is true that my Zhang family wants to get closer to you. Now, I won't beat around the bush.”

“What do you mean, Brother Zhang… ” Yang Jinhe was even more confused. These days, many marriage proposals had come, but he had postponed all of them.

He had thought that Zhang Rufeng came for a marriage proposal too, but it seemed that his intentions were not so simple.

Zhang Rufeng touched his chin, “Actually, I originally wanted Yingruo to marry Yang Chen, so that in the future, Yang Chen would take good care of my Zhang family. Yang Chen, don't doubt your talent. It's only a matter of time before you enter the Spirit Martial Realm. As for which layer you can reach, I can't say for sure, but it's not demeaning for my Zhang family to win over a high-level martial artist who will become part of the Spirit Martial Realm.”

Yang Chen became thoughtful.

Zhang Rufeng continued slowly, “Yang Chen, I understand that you don't want to accept Yingruo as your wife, but I have other things that may interest you.

Brother Yang, you don't mind me talking about them, do you?”

Now, if Yang Jinhe still couldn't understand Zhang Rufeng's intentions, then he would be an idiot.

Zhang Rufeng clearly wanted to cooperate with the Yang family.

How could he not be willing to climb up the big tree of the Zhang family? He quickly laughed and said, “Brother Zhang, don't worry about what I think.”

Zhang Rufeng nodded and looked at Yang Chen, “Yang Chen, have you ever heard of the first genius of the Great Wilderness, Zhang Xuelian, from three hundred years ago?”

“You mean, Zhang Meiren?” Upon hearing this, Yang Chen was stunned.lndeed, he had heard of such a peerlessly elegant figure before, as her legend was passed down throughout the Great Wilderness with great reverence.

According to the legend, more than three hundred years ago, a truly unparalleled figure emerged in the Great Wilderness. At the age of only fifteen, she entered the Spirit Martial Realm. In her twenties, she swept across the Great Wilderness and became the number one master in the region. Afterward, she led the Zhang Family to become one of the Great Tribes, then left the Great Wilderness, never to be heard from again.

This figure was Zhang Xuelian.

Zhang Xuelian was given the nickname Zhang Meiren due to her extraordinary beauty. In fact, she was considered the most beautiful woman in the Great Wilderness at that time.

Those who saw her were amazed and believed that it would be worth it to die for just a glimpse of her. It was said that just a glance at Zhang Meiren would leave one with no regrets in their life.

This showed that Zhang Xuelian's appearance truly was extraordinary.

After all, even if Feng Xuewu and his older sister Yang Caidie were called the Three Great Golden Hairpin, this was just a collective reference to the trio, whereas Zhang Xuelian had outshined all other women of her time.

It seemed as if she was a reincarnation of a deity, her journey of growth a series of legendary tales.

Lnang Xuelian is indeed our ancestor of the Zhang family. Over three hundred years ago, our family was not much different from the Yang family. Under the leadership of the Old Ancestor, the Zhang Family flourished for a time. It's a pity that the later generations failed to live up to their expectations, and the Zhang family couldn't maintain its status as the number one tribe in the Great Wilderness, gradually declining till now. We can only be considered as one of the Twelve Great Tribes.”

Upon hearing Zhang Rufeng's candid words, both Yang Chen and Yang Jinhe were extremely surprised.

Zhang Rufeng, on the other hand, was very composed and didn't seem to mind his candor. He spoke brightly, “Speaking of our Old Ancestor, the reason our Zhang family could stand in the Great Wilderness for three hundred years without declining was actually related to the many treasures left by the Old Ancestor.”

It was extremely difficult to stay in the Great Wilderness for three hundred years without declining.

Even the Feng Family and the Murong Family had only risen to power in the past century or so.

There were very few great tribes that could persist for three hundred years without declining, which indicated just how powerful Zhang Xuelian was.

“Among the many treasures left by the Old Ancestor, there is one that was not left for our Zhang family, but for the entire Great Wilderness,” said Zhang

Rufeng.

“What?” Yang Chen and Yang Jinhe suddenly looked shocked.

Zhang Rufeng, seeing their surprise, said proudly, “Let me explain. This is not a secret at all. When our Old Ancestor left the Great Wilderness, she instructed our Zhang family members and left a portrait behind. She once said that only a peerless genius could trigger her Divine Soul by looking at the portrait!”

“Divine Soul? A portrait contains the soul of Elder Zhang Xuelian?” Yang Chen asked, frowning.

“Yes, that's right, our Zhang family really wants to know how the Old Ancestor is doing now, but unfortunately, the portrait can only be activated by a peerless genius. In the Great Wilderness, there has never been such a genius. Every generation of our Zhang family would invite the number one genius of the Great Wilderness to view this portrait. However, none have succeeded, and the power of the Old Ancestor's soul has never appeared,” Zhang Rufeng said with a bitter smile.

Yang Chen could roughly understand Zhang Rufeng's meaning now. It was unknown what kind of prohibition Zhang Xuelian had set up in the portrait back then, but only a top genius could stand in front of the portrait and trigger the soul inside, thereby summoning the appearance of Zhang Xuelian's soul.

How could the Zhang family not want to meet Zhang Xuelian, the invincible Old Ancestor, once more, in hopes of receiving her help? The Zhang family had visited the Yang family to have Yang Chen attempt this very task.

“Now that I've said this, my young friend Yang Chen, you should understand my intentions,” said Zhang Rufeng.

Yang Chen nodded, “I can understand some of Elder Zhang's intentions.”

“Are you interested in this?” Zhang Rufeng asked curiously, “If you can really trigger the Divine Soul Power of the Old Ancestor's portrait, our Zhang family will be extremely grateful.. However, there is one prerequisite!”
