Zhang Lingyun

Chapter 008: Zhang Lingyun

The Beast Arena in Lanjiang City didn't belong to any specific faction. Instead, it was controlled by a powerful, mysterious organization, which was why even the former City Lord of Lanjiang City dared not offend it.

"We're here!"

Qin Shaofeng's eyes lit up as he spotted the massive, circular structure in the distance. Just then, a voice with a peculiar, mocking tone suddenly cut through the air.

"Well, well, isn't this the number one genius of Lanjiang City, Young Master Qin?"

The voice was so sudden, yet so familiar.

Zhang Lingyun!

Is that his brother?

Without turning around, Qin Shaofeng recognized the voice.

A chill ran through him, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. However, Qin Shaofeng didn't stop. He walked directly into the Beast Arena.

He's ignoring me?

That scoundrel!

Qin Shaofeng's attitude clearly enraged Zhang Lingyun. But upon seeing the two guards accompanying Qin Shaofeng, he halted his steps, not daring to approach.

He recognized them, of course. They were men from the Qin family patriarch's side. While not Xiantian Martial Masters, they were peak Houtian Realm tenth-level martial artists.

It seems after that incident, that old man Qin has become more cautious!

"Those Wu Clan brothers, Da and Er, really messed up. They didn't manage to finish this brat off!"

Muttering softly, Zhang Lingyun sneered coldly, feeling a sense of disdain.

"Hmph, so what if he's not dead? Qin Shaofeng is already a good-for-nothing now. My Zhang family doesn't need to pay attention to a cripple anymore."

"Father said the Wu brothers have disappeared without a trace, and some of our Zhang family's hidden businesses have suffered unprovoked attacks, incurring significant losses. It seems the plot to harm that cripple was exposed, and he told me not to provoke Qin Shaofeng recently. He even forbade Eldest Brother from leaving the house."

"Honestly, it's ridiculous! As long as Eldest Brother wins the competition, this Lanjiang City will be ours, the Zhang family's. What's a mere Qin family to us? Do I need to fear Qin Shaofeng, this cripple?"

Although these were Zhang Lingyun's thoughts, they were his father's orders, which he couldn't disobey. In the end, he could only suppress his anger.

However, thinking about Qin Shaofeng's attitude towards him just now, a knot of resentment remained in his heart.

After a moment's thought, Zhang Lingyun's eyes brightened, and a cold smile spread across his face. He followed Qin Shaofeng into the Beast Arena.

"Well, well, what a pleasant surprise today! A rare guest like Young Master Qin graces my Beast Arena!"

As Qin Shaofeng stepped through the main entrance of the Beast Arena, a middle-aged man in his thirties greeted him.

This man was Steward Fang, the manager of the Beast Arena. Although Steward Fang appeared ordinary, Qin Shaofeng knew that he was a peak Houtian Realm expert.

Qin Shaofeng wouldn't act rashly towards someone like him.

With a slight smile, Qin Shaofeng replied, "I've been a bit bored lately, so I decided to drop by and visit, Steward Fang!"

"Visit? I think Young Master Qin has developed a new hobby lately, hence your visit to the Beast Arena?"

A sarcastic voice chimed in as Zhang Lingyun entered the arena.

"Steward Fang, you have no idea. Our Young Master Qin here has recently developed a taste for slaughtering low-level Demonic Beasts! The scenes of him unleashing his might against those barely first or second-tier beasts are truly spectacular!"

Before Qin Shaofeng could respond, Zhang Lingyun walked over and mockingly added another jab.

Zhang Lingyun's words made Qin Shaofeng frown.

He had only killed those low-level beasts this morning, at most an hour ago. Besides Qin Dabao, very few people should have known about it.

Yet, Zhang Lingyun's words clearly indicated he was aware.

It seems the Zhang family has planted quite a few informants in my Qin manor!

A faint smile played on Qin Shaofeng's lips, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Steward Fang was well aware of the relationship between the Qin and Zhang families in Lanjiang City. Therefore, he didn't react to Zhang Lingyun's words, merely addressing him as "Young Master Zhang Er," acknowledging his presence.
