74: Can I have them all?
Inside the Zhang Residence.
"Young Miss, what do you think that Zhang Yang looks like? Why would the Master do this?"
Zhang Jingyuan's granddaughter, Zhang Xiyue, was boredly eating pastries when her personal maid asked.
"He should be quite good-looking, but as Martial Artists of our generation, why care about appearance?"
"Zhang Yang's talent, strength... everything is top-tier. It's only natural for Grandfather to do this."
Zhang Xiyue recalled the heroic figure of Zhang Yang she had seen from the spectator stands when she went to watch the Clear Wind Sect Inner Sect Grand Competition.
Handsome features, powerful strength, calm in the face of trouble—he didn't even flinch before so many Great Experts of the Infant Transformation Realm, showing his inner strength.
With just one look, she remembered Zhang Yang. Though she remembered him, she didn't think she would have any interaction with him.
After all, Zhang Yang was a true favored son of heaven and the future Sect Head of the Clear Wind Sect.
Zhang Xiyue shook her head. She had known for a long time that her grandfather had sent her portrait to the Clear Wind Sect, but so much time had passed without any news, so there likely wouldn't be any follow-up.
"You may leave, I am going to Cultivate!" Zhang Xiyue stood up and walked toward the Training Room.
"Yes, Young Miss!" The maid withdrew.
After some more time, Zhang Yang arrived in front of the Zhang Family's main residence.
"Brother, please inform your Family Head that Zhang Yang of the Clear Wind Sect has come to pay a visit."
Zhang Yang said to a burly man guarding the gate of the residence.
"Clear Wind Sect!"
Upon hearing the name, the burly man immediately perked up. With a smile on his face, he nodded and said:
"Alright, please wait a moment. I'll go inside to report immediately!"
Family Hall
Family Head Zhang Jingyuan was still pacing back and forth.
"Family Head, he's here! He's here!" The burly gatekeeper rushed into the Family Hall.
"Who's here?" Zhang Jingyuan frowned at the person before him. Rushing in so frantically, where were his manners?
"It's the Clear Wind Sect! Someone from the Clear Wind Sect has come! Someone named Zhang Yang!" the burly man said hurriedly.
"Is that so!" Zhang Jingyuan's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and his frown instantly smoothed out.
"Good, good, good! Go down and receive your reward!"
Zhang Jingyuan laughed. He had already given orders that if anyone from the Clear Wind Sect came, he must be notified immediately!
"But why did Zhang Yang come in person?" Zhang Jingyuan was somewhat puzzled and couldn't help but speculate.
"Zhang Yang actually came in person? Could it be that he really took a liking to her? So he came in person to propose marriage?" On the other side, Zhang Jingyuan's wife couldn't help but guess.
Hearing his wife's speculation, Zhang Jingyuan's eyes lit up!
That's right!
That might be the reason! Otherwise, there would be no explanation.
Zhang Jingyuan walked quickly toward the main gate.
On the other side, Zhang Yang only waited for a moment before hearing a sound from inside the gate, and the doors opened instantly.
"Little Brother Zhang Yang! Quick, please come in! Why did you come in person!" Zhang Jingyuan stepped forward quickly, his face full of smiles and very enthusiastic.
Zhang Jingyuan led Zhang Yang all the way to the Zhang Family's Reception Hall and served him hot tea.
During this time, Zhang Jingyuan kept sizing up Zhang Yang, feeling shocked in his heart.
During the Clear Wind Sect Inner Sect Grand Competition, he could still see Zhang Yang's cultivation level. Now, only two or three months had passed, and he couldn't even see through Zhang Yang's cultivation anymore.
"He must have practiced some Breath Concealment Martial Skill!" Zhang Jingyuan thought to himself.
"Little Brother Zhang Yang, I wonder what business brings you to our Zhang Family?" Zhang Jingyuan asked with a smile.
"Uh..."
Zhang Yang felt a bit embarrassed. It didn't seem quite appropriate to say he was here for the women in those portraits, or for their Family's Martial Skill, the Eight Trigrams Transformation.
At the same time, inside the Zhang Family Training Room, Zhang Xiyue was working hard on the Family's Martial Skill, the Eight Trigrams Transformation.
With every repetition, her body felt heavier, and sweat poured down like rain, soaking her training clothes and highlighting the curves of her body.
"Young Miss, stop practicing! Something big has happened!" At this moment, the maid from before ran over and shouted.
Zhang Xiyue was stunned for a moment. She stopped her movements and asked, "My grandfather is overseeing the Family; what big thing could have happened?"
"It's Zhang Yang! Zhang Yang of the Clear Wind Sect has come in person! He's chatting with the Family Head in the Reception Hall right now!" the maid explained hurriedly.
"Zhang Yang! Why is he here?"
Zhang Xiyue was startled upon hearing this, then seemed to think of something and hurriedly said to the maid.
"Quick! I need to bathe. Bring me my favorite clothes!" After saying that, Zhang Xiyue rushed out of the Training Room.
The maid also realized and hurried to get Zhang Xiyue's favorite set of clothes.
In the Reception Hall, Zhang Jingyuan seemed to see Zhang Yang's embarrassment and gave a slight smile:
"Little Brother Zhang Yang, don't be nervous. I've already called over the three people from the portraits I sent to the Clear Wind Sect."
"They'll be here in a moment. You can take a good look then!"
Seeing Zhang Yang's expression, Zhang Jingyuan was secretly delighted. It looked like there was a great chance!
It might be exactly as his wife had guessed!
"Mhm."
Zhang Yang nodded. Although he was anxious to obtain the Zhang Family's Martial Skill, the Eight Trigrams Transformation, since the Family Head was so eager for him to pick a beauty, he could only reluctantly comply.
Before long, three women stepped into the Reception Hall: one was heroic and valiant, one was charming and enchanting, and one was lively and cute.
Zhang Yang's gaze swept over them, and he couldn't help but nod inwardly. All three had their own unique characteristics. Although they looked good in the portraits, seeing them in person was even more stunning.
One could only say that as expected of a martial arts world, appearances were never too bad.
Before coming, Zhang Yang already knew the names and some basic information of these three women.
The heroic and valiant one was named Zhang Xiyue, Zhang Jingyuan's granddaughter, currently 20 years old.
The charming and enchanting one was named Zhang Yuechan, the daughter of an elder from a side branch of the Zhang Family, currently 22 years old.
The last one, lively and cute, was named Zhang Siqi, nineteen years old, from a side branch of the Family.
While Zhang Yang was recalling their names, the three of them were also secretly observing him, their eyes sparkling.
They had long known of Zhang Yang's great name. They were also secretly happy when the Family Head sent their portraits to the Clear Wind Sect.
In the martial arts world, who doesn't like a Genius? Especially a Genius like Zhang Yang?
In this world, although they were members of the Zhang Family and undoubtedly luckier than others, they were often not in control of their own destinies.
Except for Zhang Xiyue, the talent of the other two was not particularly outstanding; it was average. Marriage Alliances would be their eventual fate.
Since they had to enter a Marriage Alliance sooner or later, why not choose the most talented and brilliant person?
Zhang Yang was such an excellent choice. So when the Family Head wanted to send their portraits to the Clear Wind Sect, both Zhang Siqi and Zhang Yuechan had readily agreed.
Initially, they hoped Zhang Yang would choose them, but after two or three months without news, they had calmed down.
They didn't expect things to take a turn today!
"Little Brother Zhang Yang, how is it? You know the backgrounds of these three juniors of mine. I wonder if any of them have caught your Dharma Eye?"
Zhang Jingyuan asked softly with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhang Yang looked at the three women before him, and the three women also looked up at Zhang Yang.
As their eyes met, Zhang Yang nodded. After a slight hesitation, he spoke.
"Can I have them all?"
