He had originally thought that in a minor place like Jiannan Circuit, his Eighth-Rank strength would leave almost no one capable of threatening him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing he needed to pay attention to was keeping an appropriate distance from the descendants of Prince Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the descendants of Prince Qing knew about the miraculous treasure within Ancestor Cheng Yuan's inheritance. In exchange for a share of the benefits, Cheng Fang was required to assist the descendants of Prince Qing in their uprising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In return, they would keep his true identity secret as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though there had been promises, Cheng Fang understood clearly in his heart that getting too close to mad rebels was no different from bargaining with a tiger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If word of it got out, it would absolutely deal a massive blow to the Cheng Family's reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would also affect the great tree upon which both the Cheng Family and the River-Severing Sect currently relied: the upright and widely renowned Great Hero Cheng, Cheng Zhenjiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Cheng Fang had never imagined\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that even though he had done nothing at all, the first time he showed his face in Jiannan Circuit, someone would point out his identity on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who exactly is this Cheng Yu, and why was he able to recognize my identity?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Fang's understanding of Cheng Yu was limited to his fearsome reputation: wiping out the Jianghu forces of Qingjiang Prefecture and raiding and destroying the Sword-Forging Manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Jinyiwei Thousand-Household Commander from Jiannan Circuit, and a prodigious talent on the Human Ranking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other than sharing the same surname, what possible connection could he have to him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If sharing a surname were enough to expose his identity, then no one in the world would be able to hide who they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Fang could not make sense of it no matter how much he thought about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the subordinate beside him. \"I told you to investigate Cheng Yu's background. Have you found out where he comes from?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reporting to you, sir, everything Cheng Yu has done in Jiangnan only began not long ago, after he took office as a Banner Captain in the Qinghe County Jinyiwei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After that, he relied on his considerable martial strength to repeatedly deal with Jianghu forces and render great merit, so his position kept rising.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Fang frowned. \"None of that has anything to do with my Cheng Family. What about before that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His earlier history was concealed by some important figure within the Jinyiwei. We only found out that Cheng Yu is not a local. When he first took office, he came by boat from Beixuan City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beixuan City?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Fang raised his brows in surprise. Beixuan City was an important stronghold in the northwestern region of Great Qian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, that area was precisely where the River-Severing Sect and the Cheng Family were located. It was his home territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he heard that Cheng Yu had come from Beixuan City, the strange feeling in Cheng Fang's heart deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the fact that Cheng Yu's martial arts were so strange and revealed no discernible origin at all,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he would almost have suspected that Cheng Yu had some connection to the Cheng Family. Only that would explain how he had recognized him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He came from Beixuan City... but there isn't time to investigate that side now...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Fang frowned deeply. The descendants of Prince Qing had already been exposed. Great Qian's court troops could arrive at any moment, and the Jinyiwei under Cheng Yu were even harder to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to obtain Ancestor Cheng Yuan's treasure as quickly as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gritting his teeth, he said, \"We can't worry about so much for now. We need to complete Elder Cousin's orders first. Young Master Cheng Feng's matter is more important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put his clothes back on, stood up with his hands behind his back, and looked toward the subordinate beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard that Young Master Cheng Feng has risen through the Human Ranking at an astonishing pace. As expected of the unparalleled genius of my Cheng Family. We must get the item as soon as possible and help him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subordinate hurriedly nodded as well, pride on his face. \"Young Master Cheng Feng is only sixteen, yet he was already able to defeat the head disciple of the Sword-Forging Manor. By the time he reaches twenty-five, he may well be able to contend for a top-three position on the Human Ranking!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Human Ranking records the young talents under the age of twenty-five. Once they pass that age, they fall off the list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of those at the top are already over twenty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Feng still had at least nine years left, so the significance of his current twentieth-place ranking was extraordinarily high!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Fang nodded proudly, even more motivated to find the treasure for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as it could help Cheng Feng improve, it would be a tremendous contribution to the Cheng Family!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right at that moment, Cheng Fang suddenly noticed that something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who did you just say Young Master Cheng Feng defeated? Why haven't I heard of that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The head disciple of the Sword-Forging Manor... how could it be him?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subordinate widened his eyes and hurriedly pulled out a recently copied Human Ranking list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Cheng Feng's ranking, only to find that the combat record section was blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I clearly remember that when the ranking was first updated, there was a combat record listed...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Fang took the ranking sheet and stared at the completely blank combat record section, falling into total confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianji Tower never ranked people without reason. Whenever someone's rank changed substantially, it would always state their combat record.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now it was completely blank, which clearly meant the recent version had deliberately hidden it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Sword-Forging Manor had already been destroyed. Cheng Feng had only broken through recently, so when would he have had the chance to defeat that man's head disciple?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Fang frowned as he thought. \"Where is Cousin Zhenjiang now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The clan head is visiting Tianji Tower...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianji Tower!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like lightning striking through Cheng Fang's mind. Cheng Zhenjiang was at Tianji Tower, so Cheng Feng's combat record had most likely been hidden at his request!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That had to be to conceal something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To conceal the fact that before the Sword-Forging Manor was destroyed, Cheng Zhenjiang and Cheng Feng had gone to the Sword-Forging Manor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Fang and his subordinate looked at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Sword-Forging Manor incident, almost no one in the Jianghu had survived. Everyone still alive had been taken away, and the people within Great Qian's court had kept their mouths tightly shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were still many unresolved doubts about what exactly had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, unexpectedly, Cheng Zhenjiang's family had been entangled in it as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Fang was utterly baffled. What could a man as open and upright as Cousin Zhenjiang possibly be hiding?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of the day, it could only be something he did not want others to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have there been any rumors in the Jianghu recently about Cousin Zhenjiang?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subordinate thought for a moment. What rumors could there possibly be about such a forthright great hero?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he thought, his eyes suddenly widened. \"I remember hearing a rumor that the clan head once went to the Beixuan City Jinyiwei to look for someone. There was even a rumor saying it was his son. At the time, I thought it had to be nonsense...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1709,"2026-06-03T04:54:42.394Z","2026-06-03T04:54:48.224Z",1,"novelbin.me","461cdc36f437d33987ed5ffa1143b1eb43fca95a259cdac075676b7924cdfa46","you-drove-me-out-with-your-hypocrisy-and-now-cry-chapter-117","you-drove-me-out-with-your-hypocrisy-and-now-cry-chapter-115",126,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-drove-me-out-with-your-hypocrisy-and-now-cry-cover.jpg"]
