C3143 Return to Home
Chao Jian looked at the round-faced youth, a trace of anger appearing in his eyes.
This Chao Zhiwei was the grandson of the clan's Third Elder, and was not on good terms with Chao Jian since young.
The Chao Family's patriarch was a recommendation system. As long as it was the Chao Family's people, they could all participate in the clan patriarch position.
At that time, before the last patriarch of the Chao Family passed away, the two clan patriarch candidates were confirmed. They were precisely Chao Zhong and the Third Elder.
Chao Zhong was a junior at that time, but he had extraordinary talent and was smart. The Third Elder, on the other hand, was experienced and experienced.
After the election, although Chao Zhong eventually gained the upper hand and became the head of the clan, the Third Elder had a grudge with Chao Zhong because of this.
Usually, the Third Elder would not go against Chao Zhong on the surface, but he would often go against him in private.
Even the descendants of the Third Elder were not on good terms with the branch of Chao Zhong.
Hence, Chao Zhi Wei normally did not like Chao Jian, often finding trouble for no reason.
"No meaning. Guarding the entrance to the foreign land is the duty that Lord Clan Head gave us. We naturally have to do this well."
Chao Zhiwei said with a fake smile.
"Everyone, the identities of these two people are unknown, so it wouldn't be good to rashly let them in. It wouldn't be good if something unexpected happened, and you don't want to bear this risk, right?
Chao Zhiwei looked at the other guards and said.
"Brother Zhi Wei, this is nothing, right?"
One of the guards frowned and couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, let them in. What does Young Master need to worry about the people he brought back?"
The others replied.
In the Chao Clan, the vast majority of people supported Chao Zhong because the Patriarch Chao Zhong really did do well.
"All of you! "
Chao Zhiwei also did not expect that these people were actually all facing Chao Jian, his expression suddenly turning cold.
" Humph! Since you all want to shoulder this risk, then do whatever you want!"
Chao Zhiwei stepped aside.
"What a joke."
Chao Jian sneered, his gaze sweeping past Chao Zhiwei's face with disdain, and then walked into the foreign land with large strides.
Ye Feng and Da Xuan Yun exchanged a glance, smiled indifferently, and followed inside.
Chao Zhi Wei looked at the backs of Ye Feng and the others, his eyes flickering, his expression changing indeterminately.
After entering the foreign lands, on the way, when his family saw Chao Jian and his sister, they all warmly greeted them.
Chao Jian replied with a smile, bringing Ye Feng and the others to the manor.
"Jian-er, Qinger, why did you guys come back?"
Chao Jian's father, the head of the Chao Family, Chao Zhong had already received the news. At this moment, he was waiting in the manor. Seeing them enter, he immediately welcomed them.
"Father."
When Chao Jian saw Chao Zhong, he immediately revealed a smile. Chao Qinger even hugged Chao Zhong's arm happily.
"These two are?"
Chao Zhong did not get angry in the slightest, patting Chao Qinger's little head intimately, and looking at Ye Feng and Qing Er amiably.
"Oh, this is Brother Ye Zhen, and this is Sister Da."
Chao Jian opened his mouth and introduced, revealing the identity that he had prepared beforehand.
Knowing that Ye Feng and Da Xuan Yun were being pursued by the Illusory Demon Clan, barely escaping with their lives, it was Chao Jian and his sister who saved them. Chao Zhong revealed a gratified smile.
"Not bad. “
Chao Zhong patted Chao Jian's shoulder heavily, looked at Ye Feng and the other two, and said solemnly, "Rest assured, the two of you. Now that we've already left the Great Shattered Region, the Illusory Demon Clan will definitely not chase after us again. The two of you can rest assured and stay at my Chao Family. "
"Many thanks, Patriarch Chao. “
Ye Feng cupped his hands in thanks. His impression of Chao Zhong was not bad. He was indeed someone who had his heart tied to the Human Clan. Could it be that Chao Jian and Chao Qinger had such a sense of belonging towards the Human Clan?
" Haha, Qinger, take good care of the two guests. Your father will discuss some matters with your brother. "
Chao Zhong laughed heartily and let Chao Qinger entertain Ye Feng and Chao Jian. He apologized and brought Chao Jian into the study.
When the siblings suddenly returned, Chao Zhong knew that something must have happened. Clearly, he was in a hurry to inquire.
"Brother Ye Zhen, my father is not bad, right?"
Chao Qing looked at Ye Feng, smiled sweetly, and asked.
"En, Patriarch Chao's character is naturally not bad."
Ye Feng nodded slightly.
In the study, Chao Jian revealed a worried expression, informing Chao Zhong of the excuse he had thought of previously.
"Father, I brought my clansmen to Yi City. Unexpectedly, that young master of Miao Tian City's city lord set his eyes on little sister and insisted on forcing little sister to be his servant..."
"I naturally am unwilling to have a conflict with that treacherous fiend race and have no choice but to leave Yi City."
"I just didn't expect that when we arrived in Descending Sky City, the trade there wouldn't be able to continue. All the big sects in the Human Clan of the Great Shattered Region knew that we had offended the young master of the city, so they didn't dare to make a deal with my Chao Family. “
Chao Jian gave a forlorn sigh. " Under my helplessness, I could only bring people back. In order to prevent the Feather Demon Clan from discovering their whereabouts, Chao Ge and the others waited in the Forest of Death first. I brought my younger sister back to see Father and talk about this matter. "
"So that's how it is."
Chao Zhong nodded slightly, looking at Chao Jian with a profound gaze.
As a father, Chao Zhong understood his son very well. Although what Chao Jian said was not a lie, it also had quite a lot of secrets. Chao Zhong naturally saw through it, just that he did not open his mouth to inquire.
Chao Zhong believed that Chao Jian hiding from him definitely had a reason, but this son would not harm him, nor would he do anything bad. Hence, if Chao Jian did not say it, Chao Zhong would not ask either.
"Since it's like this, then it's fine if we don't do business in the Great Shattered Region. We can go to the Great Desolate Domain."
Chao Zhong picked up the teacup and drank a few mouthfuls, then said in silence.
"The Realm of Unbounded Desolation?"
Chao Jian looked at Chao Zhong with some surprise. The first reason he came back with Ye Feng this time was to examine whether the Chao Family had the qualifications to join the Covenant Alliance, and the second was to let the Chao Family go to the Great Desolate Domain to trade.
It was even to the extent that the Chao Family could join the Holy Court and become the subjects of the Human Clan's royal court.
"Yes, the Great Desolate Domain."
Chao Zhong's expression was the same as usual, but there was a trace of worry in his eyes. Compared to the Great Desolate Domain, which was governed by the Illusory Demon Clan, the Great Desolate Domain was obviously more dangerous.
However, trade must be carried out. Otherwise, such a large clan wouldn't be able to continue living.
The Realm of Shattered Earth, the Realm of Unbounded Desolation, and the Realm of Unbounded Desolation were the only places in the vicinity of the Void domain. There were also the Realm of Unbounded Desolation, which was ruled by the Multi-eyed Demon Clan.
The Multi-eyed Demon Race's attitude towards the Human Clan was even more hostile than the Horned Demon Race's. It would only be more dangerous for them to trade in the Realm of Unbounded Desolation.
As for the other territories, they were very far away from the Great Void Domain, so it would be even more difficult for them to trade.
"I can only go to the Great Desolate Domain..."
Chao Zhong sighed inwardly. Although it was also very dangerous to trade in the Realm of Unbounded Desolation, there was nothing he could do now.
However, Chao Zhong would not reveal these difficult problems. He did not want Chao Jian to worry and blame himself. As a father, as the family head, there were some things that he had to shoulder on his own.
"Father, when I was in the Great Shattered Region, I heard some Human Clan say that there seemed to be some changes in the Great Desolate Domain."
" Oh? What happened?"
Looking at Chao Jian's mysterious appearance, Chao Chao regained his interest and asked.
"It seems like, over at the Great Desolate Domain, a Human Clan King was established..."
Chao Jian had yet to finish his words when a loud shout suddenly sounded from outside the patriarch's courtyard.
"Patriarch, this old man heard that Chao Jian and Qinger have returned and even brought back two outsiders!"
