When she finished speaking, her eyes landed on Chu Fan, and they held a surprising hint of tension.
Cao Feng and several of the Li Clan Elders exchanged glances, knowing smiles touching their lips.
Chu Fan felt her warmth, and his heart swelled. He nodded. "Thank you, Senior Sister. I'll stay with the gang for now. It won't be too late to report to the Demon Suppression Bureau in a few days."
He paused, his expression growing more serious. "I came to Qing Province on the orders of Lord Yue Mankong to investigate the Zhang Family. My next steps will depend on the Demon Suppression Bureau's arrangements."
At his words, the cheerful atmosphere in the hall instantly froze.
The faces of Cao Feng, Chen Xuan, Wang Kaishan, and the others grew dark and solemn.
Only after arriving in Qing Province did they truly understand how terrifying the Zhang Family was.
The Zhang Family was one of Qing Province's true Big Three.
