Listening to the whispers of the soldiers going away, a look of complacency appeared on Shuiche's face.

"Shui Xuan, since you are unwilling to be a puppet, don't blame me for not considering our past friendship."

"I wanted to spare your life and let you be my puppet, but it seems that you are not my kind after all."

Shui Che was thinking secretly in his heart, and was not at all moved by the soldier's report that Shui Xin and others had returned.

After all, in his eyes, these people are just pawns that can be used.

As the chess player, Shuiche always plays these ignorant people in his hands.

After a cold laugh, he turned around and sat back in his chair, with no intention of dealing with the matter with Shui Xuantong.

Now, through his overt and covert suppression and bribery, most people in the clan have come to fear and respect him.

As long as he finds a good opportunity, Shui Che can overturn everything and start over again, taking control of the huge Shui clan.

In his mind, Shui Xuan and his son were at most rats living in a corner.

Only a guy as ambitious as him can carve out a place for himself in this world.

In front of the Shui clan's city gate, Zhang Yifeng and his group were being interrogated.

In fact, it could not be considered an interrogation. The soldier guarding the city gate was just questioning the captain of the team.

When they heard that Zhang Yifeng had killed more than a dozen charging bulls on the spot with his own strength, the guards in front of the city gate were all shocked.

After looking at Zhang Yifeng deeply, they hesitated about what to do next.

After all, the people who were sent to notify the young patriarch have not returned yet, and these tribesmen who were originally notified by the young patriarch to have died have returned again.

And he returned with a powerful stranger and Shui Xin, who was supposed to be exiled.

This situation was definitely not something that the few young soldiers who were responsible for guarding the city gate could make a decision on.

Just when they were in distress, a low growl suddenly came from behind them.

"Shui Xin, you son of the devil, how dare you come back!"

Shui Xuan was seen waving a long sword, and the moment he saw Shui Xin standing in front of the city gate, he slashed out a water-blue sword energy.

Seeing this, several guards guarding the city gate hurriedly dispersed to the side to avoid the attack.

Shui Xin looked at the knife coming straight towards her, gritted her teeth and raised her hand to fight back.

But in the next moment, a figure blocked his way.

"Don't worry, I promised that man to take good care of you for him."

Zhang Yifeng said calmly, raised his hand and lightly wiped out the sword energy.

"Who are you!"

Shui Xuan landed in front of Zhang Yifeng with a menacing look, holding a long knife and waiting for him viciously.

Zhang Yifeng stared at the young man in front of him, who was dressed in a long blue robe and had a heroic appearance.

Looking at the guards who were nearly hit but dared not say a word, he immediately understood the identity of the person in front of him.

"Are you the young patriarch of the Shui clan? You look like a handsome man, but I didn't expect you to be such a narrow-minded person."

Zhang Yifeng clicked his tongue and looked at Shui Xuan deeply.

"I don't care who you are or what your purpose is in coming to the Water Clan."

"But if you want to protect him, don't even think about leaving the Shui clan's territory today!"

Shui Xuan's brows trembled slightly as he stared at Zhang Yifeng, the guy who interfered with him for no reason.

"Oh, you are narrow-minded indeed. If I let someone like you guide the future of our clan, I am afraid there will be endless troubles."

"But I didn't come here today to waste time with you. I'm here to protect this little guy Shui Xin. You can't do anything to him."

"Of course, as a token of my sincerity I can help you cure the poison your father has contracted."

Zhang Yifeng put one hand behind his back and pointed a finger at the long sword that Shui Xuan was using to chop him down, forcibly sealing off all of his strength.

"You...are you telling the truth?"

Shui Xuan stood there in a daze for a long time before asking, not knowing whether he was shocked by Zhang Yifeng's strength or intimidated by his words.

Hearing that Zhang Yifeng had the ability to cure his father, the anger in Shui Xuan's eyes gradually subsided.

The poison that my father was poisoned with was too strange, even the best doctor in the clan couldn't bring him back to consciousness.

Looking at his father's increasingly thin body, Shui Xuan was heartbroken and his temper became increasingly difficult to suppress.

Even though Zhang Yifeng was a stranger, he was unwilling to give up as long as there was a glimmer of hope.

"Okay, until you cure my father, I won't touch Shui Xin at all."

"But if you fail to treat me properly, I will definitely let you two die together!"

"Also, after my father woke up, we now know who caused him to be poisoned and unconscious."

Shui Xuan took a deep breath, suppressed all the anger in his heart, and spoke to Zhang Yifeng in a cold voice.

"Of course, if it wasn't for proving Shui Xin's innocence, I wouldn't have brought him back."

Zhang Yifeng said this calmly, then raised his hand to signal Shui Xuan to lead the way.

"Hmph, you guys guard the city gate!"

Shui Xuan snorted coldly, shouted an order to the timid guards at the city gate, and led Zhang Yifeng and Shui Xuan to his father's ward.

The guards at the city gate lowered their heads and responded, and only dared to raise their heads after Shui Xuan and his men left their sight.

"The gap between the young clan leader and the clan leader is too big. He is even inferior to the other young masters in the clan, especially Master Shuiche."

"Who said it wasn't? I can't imagine how we will be treated after the young patriarch takes over as patriarch."

A few people sighed and welcomed the clan team members who came with Zhang Yifeng into the city.

But what they didn't know was that a dark shadow who had been leaning against the wall in the corner not far away and had a panoramic view of everything turned around and walked towards the clan hall.

Zhang Yifeng followed behind Shui Xuan, looked at his impatient profile, and asked calmly, "Young Patriarch, may I ask why you are so sure that Shui Xin is the one who murdered your father?"

"Do you draw such a conclusion based on what others said, that he was the only one who entered and left your father's tent?"

Hearing this, Shui Xuan paused, turned around and glared at Zhang Yifeng.

"I don't know who you learned this from, but there is no need for an outsider like you to interfere in our clan's affairs. You only need to cure my father of the poison."

"Also, you mean to say that my own people have been deceived? Oh, how ridiculous!"

Shui Xuan sneered, then turned around and continued to lead them towards his father's ward.

Soon, they passed through houses and came to a wooden house guarded by two fully armed Water Clan warriors.

When they saw Shui Xuan coming, the two men hurriedly bowed to greet him.

"No need to be polite. I have found someone who can cure the poison in your father's body. Open the door."
