Chapter 1118: Chapter 1118: Leaving For Capital City

"Grandfather, it does not matter how impossible it seems. The real question you should be asking yourself is not how they had it, but who gave it to them." Zhang Zhenyu said, his gaze sharp and unwavering. He took a brief breath before adding, "I am showing this to you tonight not to ask for permission, but to inform you of what I am going to do next."

"What exactly do you plan to do?" Zhang Wunjin asked, leaning back slowly.

"I plan to completely destroy him." Zhang Zhenyu stated with chilling resolve. "He dared to send killers to wipe out me, my wife, and my innocent daughter. I will never tolerate such an attempt on my family."

Zhang Wunjin fell into a heavy, contemplative silence for several long seconds, staring at the token resting on his desk.

"Hmm... Very well. Grandfather will support you entirely." Zhang Wunjin finally nodded, a harsh glint flashing in his aged eyes.

"Thank you, Grandfather." Zhang Zhenyu stood up straight, cupping his hands together in a formal, respectful salute.

Zhang Wunjin quietly watched his grandson turn and walk out of the study room. Once the heavy doors closed shut, the old Patriarch closed his eyes and let out a long, weary sigh. Since that enemy had dared to strike at his main heir and innocent family members, they had crossed a line, and they should not expect the attack to go unanswered.

Zhang Zhenyu’s decision was now the Zhang Family’s ultimate decision.

Stepping out into the cool night air, a sharp, cold smile touched Zhang Zhenyu’s lips. He was never one to let such treachery pass quietly. He would strike back, and he would make them pay for every single step.

...

The next morning, Bai Xifeng and her friends woke up early and prepared to take their leave. Zhang Zhenyu, Ma Ruoxi, and little Zhang Lingling personally came over to the courtyard to see them off.

The moment she saw her, little Zhang Lingling rushed right over and wrapped her small arms tightly around Bai Xifeng’s waist.

"Pretty Sister, can’t you just stay here and play with me forever?" Zhang Lingling asked innocently, looking up with big, hopeful eyes.

"I can’t." Bai Xifeng chuckled softly, shaking her head.

"Why not?" Zhang Lingling pouted slightly.

"Because I need to go home to see my family. They are all waiting for me." Bai Xifeng stated gently.

"Oh..." Zhang Lingling responded, her little face falling, though she still clearly wanted to convince Bai Xifeng to stay.

"Tell you what, if you really want to stay with me so badly, you can come along with me! But your parents would not be able to come with us. Can you bear leaving your mummy and daddy behind?" Bai Xifeng asked, tilting her head playfully.

Zhang Lingling froze, thoroughly shocked by the suggestion.

"No! I could never leave my daddy and mummy behind!" Zhang Lingling responded instantly, shaking her head vigorously.

"See? Just like you, I want to go home and see my family too. So, I can’t stay here with you." Bai Xifeng patted Zhang Lingling’s head affectionately.

"I see..." Zhang Lingling nodded in understanding. "Then... can I meet you again in the future?"

"Of course. If fate decides to bring our paths together again, then we will definitely meet in the future." Bai Xifeng stated with a warm smile.

"Hmm... Okay! Then let’s definitely meet up again!" Zhang Lingling nodded happily, accepting the promise.

"Hmm..." Bai Xifeng smiled, giving her head one last gentle pat.

She then shifted her gaze toward Zhang Zhenyu, her expression growing slightly more serious.

"Yes, Lady Bai. Thank you once again for your immense help and protection throughout this journey. I really appreciate your help." Zhang Zhenyu thanked her sincerely, bowing his head.

"Yes, Lady Bai. Thank you for your help and protection." Zhang Zhenyu thanked Bai Xifeng again and again.

"Alright, alright... I have already completely lost count of how many times you have thanked me by now. I don’t want to hear another word of thanks." Bai Xifeng waved her hands dismissively.

Ma Ruoxi could not help but chuckle softly at her casual attitude.

"May everyone have a safe trip home. Please be careful on your journey." Ma Ruoxi smiled warmly, bowing alongside her husband.

Bai Xifeng and the group gave their farewells and stepped out of the Zhang Manor. Once they reached the main street, Ning Shoukai turned to the group and suggested that they explore the city for a bit before officially heading out. Naturally, Bai Xifeng was the very first person to enthusiastically support the idea.

Everyone in the group knew exactly what Bai Xifeng was secretly aiming for. She undoubtedly wanted to wander around and check out what kind of delicious local food and delicacies were available in this new city.

Since they planned to travel at top speed for the rest of their journey today, wasting a single hour in the city was practically nothing. So, the group agreed to walk around for an hour before departing.

Everyone had their own preferred shops to visit, so they briefly split up. Bai Xifeng and Ning Shoukai stuck together as usual, eagerly seeking out various food vendors and market stalls. Unsurprisingly, the two of them ended up purchasing a massive mountain of snacks.

After the hour had passed, they all gathered near the main city gate as planned and walked out together. Once they had put a considerable distance between themselves and the city walls, they finally summoned their contracted beasts out from their beast spaces. Once everyone was safely mounted, they departed. Because they no longer had a slow carriage or ordinary guards to accommodate, their overall travel speed became extraordinarily fast.
