“Senior, please speak.” Yang Chen said respectfully.
Zhang Rufeng said loudly: “It’s very simple. If you can activate the portrait, you will surely get the treasure left by our ancestor. If you obtain this treasure, on the day of my Zhang family’s difficulties or your rise to power, you must help my Zhang family. What I ask for is not much, just your promise!”
Yang Chen fell into deep thought.
To be honest, he was very interested in Zhang Xuelian.
At that time, the first genius of the Great Wilderness was invincible at the age of over twenty, given the conditions in the Great Wilderness. Such talent is unparalleled. Even after cultivating countless geniuses, he had never seen one like Zhang Xuelian. Even Hua Wanru, who regarded herself as the phoenix among women, might not truly be stronger than Zhang Xuelian.
How could he not be interested in the treasure hidden in the portrait left behind by such an extraordinary woman?
And now, all he needs to give is a promise and help in the future.
Thinking of this, Yang Chen hesitated and said: “Elder Zhang, I agree to this deal. If you trust me.”
“Hahaha, Yang Chen, you can reject Yingruo and concentrate on pursuing the Martial Arts, which shows that your heart is as firm as a rock and you value your promises very much. I have no other demands for this. If you are willing, come with me to Zhang family now?” Zhang Rufeng couldn’t wait and wanted to set off immediately.
Yang Jinhe, on the other hand, was afraid that Yang Chen would encounter any difficulties, so he repeatedly said, “I’ll go with Yang Chen.”
“All right, let’s go together.” Zhang Rufeng understood Yang Jinhe’s thoughts and said with a faint smile.
Before long, the three of them arrived at the Zhang family together.
At a glance, the orderly group of young people in the Zhang family could be seen practicing martial arts in the practice field, which seemed quite impressive.
When these youths noticed that Zhang Rufeng brought the two of them back, they quickly expressed surprise and excitement. “It’s Yang Chen!”
“The first genius of the Great Wilderness, Yang Chen!”
“It’s actually Yang Chen!”
Many of these young people have not yet come of age, but they have heard about Yang Chen from their older brothers and sisters in the clan, and have shown admiration and worship for the strong one. Some young girls from the Zhang family were even more stealthily casting their admiring eyes at Yang Chen, extremely nervous.
“Yingruo, look, it’s Yang Chen. I heard from the Clan Leader that he went to the Yang family to discuss your marriage with Yang Chen. Now that Yang Chen has come to our Zhang family, has the matter been settled?”
Among the crowd stood a young girl about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a red long skirt, adorned with some flowers. She had long waterfall-like hair and bright eyes like flourishing stars. Standing there with her flushed face, it was none other than Zhang Yingruo of the Zhang family.
Upon hearing the other girl’s words, Zhang Yingruo’s heartbeat accelerated even more.
Girls love heroes. Yang Chen, as the first genius of the Great Wilderness, naturally caught her attention. How could she not have some admiration in her heart? Thinking that she would marry the supreme powerhouse of the Great Wilderness in the future, she felt her life was full of color.
Unfortunately, she soon became disheartened, because their Clan Leader did not take Yang Chen to meet her parents, but directly went to the forbidden area of the Zhang family.
“Yingruo, why didn’t the Clan Leader take Yang Chen to meet your parents?” “Yeah, shouldn’t he take Yang Chen to meet your parents?”
Zhang Yingruo said with disappointment: “Most likely, Yang Chen rejected it…”
As for Zhang Yingruo’s little episode here, Yang Chen didn’t pay much attention. He followed Zhang Rufeng and went straight to the forbidden area of the Zhang family, where the portrait was located.
Along the way, many of Yang Chen’s admirers appeared, discussing incessantly, much to the chagrin of Yang Chen. Originally, he just wanted to prevent people from looking at him with colored glasses, but who would have thought that the effect would be so unexpected.
“The place where the portrait is located is right ahead.” Zhang Rufeng walked ahead with his hands behind his back, leading the way.
Yang Jinhe then said, “Please!”
The three of them entered the ancient but newly-cleaned courtyard ahead and opened the door to enter the room.”There’s nothing else here, just this portrait!” Zhang Rufeng pointed out.
Yang Chen also saw the portrait hanging in the middle of the room, in which there was a woman with long hair, skin like snow, and eyes clear as autumn water. Wearing a white dress, she was extraordinarily beautiful, unspeakably elegant, and seemed like a celestial being.
Upon seeing this woman, only one phrase came to Yang Chen’s mind:
Quiet and ethereal, she is like a fairy descending upon the mortal realm.
It seemed as if the woman could step out of the painting at any moment, yet at the same time, she would forever remain within it.
In Yang Chen’s life, he had seen countless beauties, but none like Zhang Xuelian!
Zhang Xuelian, Zhang Xuelian.
Her name matched her demeanor: a cold lotus amidst snowflakes. Her aloof expression revealed nothing of her inner thoughts.
This was merely a painting, so what would the real person be like?
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Yang Chen slowly said, “Zhang Meiren, truly deserving of her title as a beauty.”
“Hehe, Young Friend Yang Chen, you should carefully observe this painting now. You have one hour, and during this time, I will wait outside with Little Brother Yang. I hope you can communicate with the ancestral spirit within the painting.” Zhang Rufeng’s words were full of anticipation and longing.
Immediately afterward, he and Yang Jin He retreated, leaving Yang Chen alone in the room.
This made Yang Chen focus even more intently on the portrait in front of him, lost in thought.
He didn’t know what Zhang Xuelian was thinking, but from Zhang Rufeng’s description, communicating with Zhang Xuelian’s soul required high Martial Arts Cultivation and natural talent.
“It seems that there is a prohibition secret technique in Zhang Xuelian’s portrait, and the communicator must enter the painting with their soul. This prohibition secret technique will automatically evaluate the communicator’s soul and determine their natural talent, age, Martial Arts strength, and so on to judge if they meet Zhang Xuelian’s satisfaction…”
Yang Chen said with a wry smile, “It seems there’s no shortcut. I can only see if
I can meet the satisfaction of the beauty in the painting.”
With that thought, Yang Chen didn’t hesitate to control his tiny soul and enter the painting.
In an instant, he felt a mysterious force enveloping him.
The voice of a woman, gentle yet cold, entered Yang Chen’s mind:
You who come later, do not resist!”
Soon after, Yang Chen seemed to fall into sleep, his state extremely subtle.
Only after the time it took for a cup of tea to pass did a sudden rumble sound.
A burst of light shot out from the painting.
Immediately afterward, Yang Chen abruptly woke up to see a woman in white standing gracefully in the air. She was a soul-shadow but still inherited her master’s stunning beauty, making Yang Chen pause slightly on the spot.
He knew that this person was the first genius of the Great Wilderness at that time, Zhang Xuelian.
He succeeded, meeting Zhang Xuelian’s prohibition requirements and summoning her soul.
At this time, the woman gently turned her head, her beautiful eyes falling on Yang Chen, and then she slowly said, “After three hundred years, a genius who can meet my satisfaction finally appeared in the Great Wilderness. To reach the Refinement Realm Peak at the age of fourteen, you are truly outstanding!” “Are you Zhang Xuelian, Elder Zhang?” Yang Chen asked.
“It is me.” Zhang Xuelian spoke as if she was detached from the mortal world:
“To be precise, I am just a soul, but I, from afar, will tell you the reason and significance of me leaving this portrait!”
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen became even more curious:
‘What is the meaning of doing this? To help the Zhang family?”
Zhang Xuelian said coldly:
“You only guessed half of it, and, moreover, this is not the most important part.”
“Then what’s the most important thing?” Yang Chen furrowed his brows. “My marriage destiny!” Zhang Xuelian gazed into the distance and exhaled softly..
