Chapter 27
The Human Heart Cannot Be Looked Upon Directly

Thinking about it, Zhang Bei didn't hesitate, immediately got up and walked towards the inner courtyard.

All the Zhang Bei's who entered along the way hid from him.

However, Zhang Bei discovered that these people were all gathered near the inner courtyard.

Even those from the outer family were gathering there intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhang Bei knew they were waiting, waiting for the younger brother's success.

After entering the inner courtyard, these so-called elites of the Zhang family were no longer worth mentioning in Zhang Bei's eyes.

Even without using Divine Mechanism Hundred Tempering, he could enter and exit freely, so he didn't even bother to pay attention to the gazes of these people.

Fortunately, yesterday's ferocity made the Zhang family members very wary of Zhang Bei.

Soon, Zhang Bei arrived at the inner hall of the inner courtyard, where the elders usually held meetings and worked.

Upon seeing Zhang Bei's arrival, everyone stood up, looking at him vigilantly.

"Don't worry, if I wanted to attack you, you wouldn't even have a chance to react."

Zhang Bei looked at these elders with disdain.

"Zhang Bei? This is the Elder Hall, what brings you here?"

Dong Shu was the most familiar with Zhang Bei, so he had to get up and ask.

"Bullshit Elders? They're just a bunch of old geezers." Zhang Bei said contemptuously.

Dong Shu was embarrassed, and the others didn't even dare to look at each other, making Zhang Bei speechless.

"The younger brother is right, the Zhang family is already rotten, it needs him to end all this."

Looking at this scene, Zhang Bei felt a pang of heartache.

Who would have thought that the once mighty Zhang family was now rotten to the core.

"What exactly are you here for?" The acting patriarch could only ask helplessly.

Zhang Bei asked, "Didn't you say that kind of medicine would dissipate in an hour?

Why hasn't there been any movement from the younger brother until now?"

"You're too impatient. That's the deepest, most dangerous place in the Zhang family.

Even he needs some time."

The acting patriarch said.

Zhang Bei frowned, his heart filled with worry.

"Don't worry, he has the purest Zhang family bloodline, he'll be fine." The acting patriarch said.

Zhang Bei could only wait now, he believed the younger brother would be fine.

He is the future younger brother, the future Zhang Qi Ling.

"The well! The well is boiling!"

Suddenly, a cry of alarm came from outside.

The elders completely ignored Zhang Bei, rushing out the door, while the acting patriarch remained relatively calm.

But a smile appeared on his face, and he also heaved a sigh of relief.

"That little devil succeeded, we are free now!"

"Haha… I can go wherever I want!"

"Great, great, I don't want to marry my cousin, now it's finally possible."

Listening to the cheers outside, watching the nearly frenzied clan members.

Zhang Bei and the acting patriarch had different expressions.

The Zhang family had always practiced marriage within the clan, resulting in many deformed children who died young.

The survivors were all the elites of the Zhang family, but a large number of them died on the path to growth.

This also led to the Zhang family declining generation after generation.

Now that the curse is broken, they no longer need to marry within the clan.

Of course, it also meant that they were free.

"Did you see that? Using just one little devil to gain so much freedom, do you still think it's wrong?"

The smile on the acting patriarch's face never stopped.

According to the acting patriarch's previous statement, the former Zhang family patriarch used this curse to control the Zhang family.

Now that the curse is broken, the patriarch's control is gone.

They have gained true freedom, the younger brother has succeeded, nothing Zhang Bei says matters now.

"Remember this, this is what you owe the younger brother. In the future, if he needs anything,

If you dare to pay lip service but disobey in secret, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, the result will be the death of your entire family."

Zhang Bei no longer had the desire to argue with the acting patriarch, he simply left these cold words.

"Of course! Regardless of what happens, he's still the Zhang family patriarch." The acting patriarch said with a smile.

Zhang Bei looked disdainful, this was only while the younger brother was still alive. If the younger brother died unexpectedly.

This promise would naturally be like a gust of wind, gone in a flash.

"Patriarch! Water!"

At this moment, a Zhang family core member came in holding a bowl of water.

The acting patriarch pushed the bowl of water towards Zhang Bei.

"Screw this." Zhang Bei said disdainfully.

After saying that, Zhang Bei left, he didn't want to stay with these people any longer.

Watching Zhang Bei's departing back, the elders immediately gathered around the acting patriarch.

"Patriarch! This Zhang Bei is too arrogant, for all these years without a patriarch, it's been us who've been supporting the Zhang family."

"That's right, he's just got some skills and dares to commit violence in the Zhang family, Patriarch, we can't let him get away with it."

"Patriarch, just make up your mind, he's a time bomb."

These elders, each one of them talking, seemed to be deciding some important decision.

"Even if that little devil successfully survives, he's just a single patriarch.

We are free, no longer subject to anyone's coercion, even if he's the patriarch."

The acting patriarch stood up, his face fierce.

It looked like Zhang Bei had humiliated him by capturing him in public yesterday, his heart must be filled with anger.

"Patriarch! Should we act now?" Dong Shu asked in a low voice.

The acting patriarch shook his head and said, "No, everyone celebrates to their hearts' content today.

When we leave the Zhang family, that's when he'll go down to keep his patriarch company."

A fierce glint flickered in everyone's eyes, indicating that they had murderous intentions.

Zhang Bei was unaware of this, he returned to the front of the Zhang family's ancient building.

The younger brother's ordeal made him heartbroken, but he was helpless.

As the saying goes, "A thousand gold can't buy my willingness", this was the younger brother's own choice.

As a friend, he couldn't make choices for the younger brother, but he could stand firmly by his side.

The entire Zhang family was celebrating, celebrating their rebirth.

Although they were using the younger brother as a sacrifice, they didn't feel wrong at all.

Zhang Bei didn't participate, but took some peanuts and a wine gourd.

Although he was only fifteen years old, he could already drink, and now his physique had increased dramatically,

Drinking a little wine was naturally no problem, if conditions allowed, he would even want to smoke two.

He just sat in front of the Zhang family's ancient building, watching the sunset and the rise of a new day, but the younger brother still hadn't returned.

As a new day dawned, the entire Zhang family fell into chaos.

In the Zhang family's warehouse, countless people were frantically grabbing the treasures.

Some were grabbing secret manuals, some were grabbing gold and silver, and some were grabbing valuables.

However, most of the assets were controlled by the core members of the Zhang family.

But no one dared to approach the house near the Zhang family's ancient building, simply because Zhang Bei was there.

No one wanted to touch Zhang Bei's nerves at this moment.

"Humanity ah!"

Watching some people fighting over treasures, Zhang Bei had no intention of stopping them.

He simply left a sigh, for him, these people who betrayed the younger brother were not good people.

Perhaps from their perspective, they were not wrong, but Zhang Bei was simply not happy about it.

Not long after, the once prosperous Zhang family became dilapidated.

Some even dismantled the beams, upon closer inspection, it was indeed golden nanmu wood, they really knew how to pick.

It might take a long time to build the ancestral land of a family.

But to destroy the ancestral land of a family, it might only take half a day.

Zhang Bei was dumbfounded by the sight of the destruction.

These people were really hungry, and they really didn't want to stay here anymore.

"Perhaps after tomorrow, not a single person from the Zhang family will be left."

Zhang Bei shook his head helplessly, watching these people looking happy.

But this had nothing to do with Zhang Bei anymore.

Little did he know, a plot against him had been quietly laid.
