Chapter 1081 Where Would He Put His Pride?

The more Miao Zhi spoke, the more her heart ached for the toothless Zheng Kaiyuan and fury surged fiercely within her.

As her fury rose, it soon morphed into murderous rage toward the City Lord of Sky City, who had knocked the teeth out of Zheng Kaiyuans mouth.

Miao Zhi felt that her son was a gem among stones.

He had expressed Creation Master talent from the age of 11.

Even without Miao Zhis recommendation, Zheng Kaiyuans Creation Master talent had been recognized by Miao Qi, and he was accepted as her disciple.

The only reason Zheng Kaiyuan had no opportunities was that the Zheng family was a mere veteran faction and not a top faction.

Zheng Kaiyuan had immediately seized the best opportunity for himself when he attended the Guard Ye Banquet.

Miao Zhuo and Miao Qi had caused trouble, and they were kicked out of the Guard Ye Banquet.

Zheng Kaiyuan had stayed behind in the Guard Ye Banquet and brought back news of the Cla.s.s 6 abyss dimensional rift opening in the Radiance Federation to the Miao family. Moreover, Zheng Kaiyuan had become friends with the Moon Empress disciple and obtained the latters contact information.

An important persons phone number was their most precious secret, and they would never give it away casually.

After Miao Zhi had married into the Zheng family, she was forbidden from returning to the Miao family.

Miao Zhenshan had never picked up the call when she called home to wish him well during New Years.

This had resulted in Miao Zhi resenting the Miao family slightly.

She had been yearning to return to the Miao family all these years but could never find a way to do so.

But now, Miao Zhenshan was personally welcoming her return to the Miao family.

Miao Zhi knew full well how powerful and merciless her father was.

Hence, she had a change of att.i.tude now that she was back in the Miao family. She felt that the Miao family now needed to depend on her son.

Previously, she had been courteous even to the servants.

But now that she was back, she acted as though she owned the place.

Zheng Kaiyuans eyes lit up. If Elder Han could truly represent the Zheng family in the blood pact ultimate fight against Sky City, Zheng Kaiyuan would not have to be worried at all. Elder Han would even be able to beat some lower-ranked top factions, much less the recently established Sky City.

However, Miao Zhis words made the pacing elderly man freeze.

The elderly mans expression darkened, and he looked extremely displeased.

Zheng Ji was a pinnacle emperor-cla.s.s expert and the leader of the Zheng family. All he ever thought about was the best way to expand the Zheng family.

Zheng Ji had expended a significant amount of effort in the fights with the two veteran factions in Indigo Azure City.

He was putting so much effort into expanding the Zheng family to strengthen the Zheng family, as well as gain glory for himself.

Zheng Ji had always chosen the steadier path to expand the Zheng family because he was afraid that the other two veteran factions would rebel against them at any moment. He had agreed to Zheng Kaiyuans suggestion of a blood pact ultimate fight against Sky City because he already regarded Zheng Kaiyuan as the Young Leader of the Zheng family.

Zheng Ji was still carrying the torch as the Zheng familys leader because his son was too incapable.

However, his son had caught a good wife from Connected Beast Park.

In the beginning, Zheng Ji had been delighted with his daughter-in-law. Unexpectedly, after marrying into the family, she did not help the Zheng family to gain any of the Miao familys resources. Rather, the Miao family had even disowned her.

It was only when Zheng Kaiyuan was born and was accepted as Miao Qis disciple that the Miao family started to provide the Zheng family with resources.

If Connected Beast Park supported the Zheng family like Coiling Dragons Valley did with Dark Clouds Bird Shrine, the Zheng family would be in a much better position than they were in now.

Indigo Azure City was the least prosperous of the 36 major cities and did not have any top factions.

If the Zheng family could use the Miao familys power to conquer the other two families and combine the Indigo Azure Citys resources, they would be able to become a top faction within a few years.

Zheng Ji sighed.

All three of his grandsons were capable. Zheng Kaiting was part of the Radiance Hundred Sequence and did not partake in his familys matters.

At first, Zheng Ji had chosen his youngest grandson Zheng Kaiyan as his successor. Zheng Kaiyan was born with six fingers and a sharp mind.

From a young age, he had shown pa.s.sion and talent for expanding a faction.

Unfortunately, ever since that accident that could not even be investigated, Zheng Kaiyan had been bound to a wheelchair, and his personality had warped into an unapproachable and unstable one.

To save themselves from humiliation, the Zheng family could not allow a wheelchair-bound person to become the leader of the Zheng family.

Finally, all hope was placed on Zheng Kaiyuan.

However, Zheng Kaiyuan had become much closer to the Miao family and had yet to return to the Zheng family ever since the Guard Ye Banquet ended.

A large part of the reason Zheng Ji had agreed to the blood pact ultimate fight was that the Miao family had two emperor-cla.s.s experts with pinnacle Myth III feys.

Sky Citys Creation Master resources made Zheng Ji uncertain about targeting them. Nonetheless, Zheng Kaiyuan was strangely obstinate about the blood pact ultimate fight with Sky City.

Eventually, Zheng Kaiyuan used his connection with the Moon Empress disciple to convince Zheng Ji.

It would only be beneficial for the Zheng family if Elder Han could help the Zheng family during the blood pact ultimate fight.

However, Miao Zhi had said to replace someone from the Zheng family with Elder Han.

The only person from the Zheng family partic.i.p.ating in the blood pact ultimate fight was Zheng Ji. If he was replaced, all the people partic.i.p.ating in the blood pact ultimate fight would come from the Miao family.

The blood pact ultimate fight would be spectated by other factions, and it would already attract rumors if he was the only one from the Zheng family who partic.i.p.ated.

If none from the Zheng family partic.i.p.ated, everyone would a.s.sume that the Miao family had subsumed the Zheng family.

Where would he put his pride?
