Chapter 80- Eavesdropping
"Seeing that these dots are stationary, they must be in between a discussing" If so, should he wait for them to finish their discussion and go out or should he sneak closer and eavesdrop on them?
Yang Chen\'s curiosity won over him and he decided to spy on them. Thanks to the skill [Traceless Shadow Advent], a high tier sky grade battle skill, he was easily able to eavesdrop on them from a few meters even without them noticing anything.
"You know what you need to do right? In the upcoming entrance test, no matter what happens you must drag down the participant from the Lin and Xiao clan. Especially the young miss of the Lin clan who is said to be the ultimate genius their clan had ever produced".
"With the untimely death of our third young master, our Zhang clan do not have any worthy participant that stands any chance of getting selected this time. That is why, you two must pull her down. Constantly create problems for her, bar her in every way and if possible, kill her".
"That would be the most ideal scenario for our Zhang clan. We cannot allow the other two clans to get the better of us this year. Remember, this is the direct order from the patriarch, you are not to divulge it to anyone else".
An aged voice that seemed to be of the disciplinary elder spoke.
"We understand third elder. We brothers cannot compare to the third young master. However, with many aid and resources that the clan has bestowed on us, we will do our best".
Two young voices probably around his age sounded out after the elder.
"You guys won\'t be able to qualify for the outer academy so just focus on the task that the patriarch has given you" the elderly voice said offhandedly.
"Third elder, can we know how did the third young master Zhang Wei died?"…
Yang Chen who was eavesdropping on their conversation from outside the house, intently listened to what the elder was going to say next.
Of course, he knew how the third young master had died since he was the one who killed him. What he wanted to know was how much the Zhang clan knew about this matter.
As Yang Chen had killed Zhang Wei and all the eyewitnesses inside the star fall jungle, he believed that the Zhang clan wouldn\'t know much about what transpired back then.
As he had guessed, the disciplinary elder\'s reply was very vague with no idea of what had happened back there.
"Our clan had carefully investigated the place but we still aren\'t very certain as to what exactly happened there" the third elder replied.
"Eh? Wasn\'t it the slave that ran away from the clan who killed the young master?" one of the young voices asked.
"Be careful of what you speak of. The third young master was a genuine nine star Battle Apprentice, if given a few more years, he might have even been able to reach the Battle Master realm".
"There is no way he would be killed by a mere slave who couldn\'t even cultivate. The reason why the son of the fifth elder and those clan members died was because they underestimated the slave who was assumedly holding a knife or a weapon" the elderly voice explained.
\'So that was what they thought. Indeed if there was anyone in their place, they would also be thinking in the same line after all, just before i awakened in this body. It did not even have the strength of a One Star Battle Apprentice. There was no way of explaining things if not this way\' Yang Chen thought to himself.
"Then do we not know who killed the young master and the fifth elder?"…
"That is… from what our clan managed to investigate, there seemed to have been a big battle between some powerful entities at that time. Hundreds of kilometres of land was decimated beyond recognition".
"Those that witnessed the battle, said that there was a powerful blast that created the crater at the middle of the forest. We believe that the third young master and the fifth elder who pursued the slave inside the star fall jungle, must have gotten caught in the aftermath of that battle and perished" the elder replied.
The things that he mentioned, also intrigued Yang Chen. When coming out of the inner regions of the jungle, he had also seen that devastation and wondered what occurred there.
\'So it was a battle between some powerful beings\' Little did Yang Chen know that there was no big battle, that powerful blast that swept away kilometres of regions of the forest, was something that resulted from the forced restart of the Greedvil system within him.
"I see… then is the patriarch going to do something? The young master and the fifth elder were killed because of those people" The young voices posed a question to which they got a grave reply from the elder.
"Don\'t be an idiot. A battle capable of creating that kind of devastation is far beyond what our clan can even understand. We believe that the people who fought there, were around the Battle Conqueror or even the Battle King level".
"Beings of that level… even if the clan wanted to, we cannot do anything but swallow this down. Just so you know, this is a sore topic for the clan head, so do not bring it in front of him. If you understand then let us go and meet the patriarch, you need to be prepared for the upcoming entrance test".
Right after those words were spoken, the door to the house was opened and three figures walked. One elderly, and two young people exited the courtyard.
\'This is my chance\' Yang Chen who was hiding by the door, entered inside right after they left. Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
After that, he found a pen and paper on the table and started writing down every crime that Zhang Hua had committed.
