Moreover, even she, the former owner of Yunxi Manor, didn't know about this tunnel before. How did the owner find out?
In her eyes, her master was becoming increasingly mysterious.
“There are actually living creatures in the mountains of this city.”
Zhang Yun's awareness of the Heavenly Dao permeated the air, and suddenly he raised an eyebrow, showing a hint of interest.
"Living creatures?" Gong Yunxi asked in surprise. "Could there be mutated or surviving ancient demonic beasts inside?"
She had some knowledge of ghost stories, but since they were from so long ago, she treated them as myths and didn't take them seriously.
However, after witnessing Zhang Yun's godlike strength, she had a vague feeling that perhaps the legend really existed.
"More or less, but that creature seems to be asleep. If we take another step forward, we might be able to proceed with it."
Zhang Yun said casually, but it startled Gong Yunxi: "If there really are monsters or something down there, we'd better not go down."
In the eyes of the world, Gong Yunxi is definitely a strong woman, but deep down she is still a little woman who is afraid of the unknown.
"I happen to be missing a pet, but I don't know if that guy inside the mountain is qualified."
Zhang Yun smiled slightly and said casually, which almost made Gong Yunxi lose her balance.
"Pet...pet." Gong Yunxi murmured involuntarily, her mind already numb with shock. Her worldview had been completely shattered today.
“However, I have some minor matters to attend to, but there’s no rush,” Zhang Yun said. “Yunxi, you continue to stay here as the owner of Yunxi Manor, just like before. As for the secret room, don’t let anyone know about it.”
"Yes, Master." Gong Yunxi nodded respectfully. Even if her master didn't say it, she would never reveal the secret.
Let's go.
As Zhang Yun stepped out of the gate of Yunxi Manor, a middle-aged figure immediately came up to him, looking full of self-reproach.
"Mr. Zhang, I have failed in my duties. Please punish me!"
Seeing Xiao Zhenghua's anxious and worried expression, Zhang Yun shook his head and said calmly, "Alright, this is not your fault."
It's no wonder Xiao Zhenghua was incompetent at this point. If he hadn't shown up in person, given Gong Yunxi's personality, she would never have given in no way.
"Yes, Mr. Zhang." With a huge weight lifted from his heart, Xiao Zhenghua's eyes involuntarily swept over Gong Yunxi, who was standing respectfully behind Zhang Yun. He immediately understood what was going on and was filled with emotion.
As expected of a deity, their efficiency is exceptionally high. Presumably, Gong Yunxi has already been subdued by the deity.
As expected, Zhang Yun spoke again: "From now on, you and Yunxi should get along well and cooperate properly."
"Yes, boss!"
"Yes, Mr. Zhang!"
"Mr. Zhang... I've come to apologize to you. I'm sorry."
Just before Zhang Yun left, Fang Mulin, as if she had made a great decision, ran over to apologize to Zhang Yun.
Because of preconceived notions, she still harbored some resistance towards Zhang Yun, but for the sake of the Fang family, she had no choice but to bow down to Zhang Yun.
This is because Zhang Yun, as the sole heir of the Zhang Group, is highly likely to take over the entire Zhang Group in the near future.
If Zhang Yun had still harbored resentment at that time, the Fang family would have inevitably fallen into ruin.
"Get lost," Zhang Yun said indifferently, getting into the car without even glancing at Fang Mulin.
Having lived two lives, he could naturally sense that Fang Mulin had harbored malice towards him from the very beginning, a quality fundamentally different from Lin Ruoxue's.
This kind of person doesn't deserve his forgiveness.

Chapter 58 The Young Master?
Inside an unassuming restaurant in Jiangning City.
Lu Shanshan was sitting opposite Zhang Yun with her eyes downcast. Too many unexpected things had happened yesterday.
Zhang Yun, in particular, gave him a feeling that was both strange and familiar.
She used to chat and laugh with Zhang Yun, but now that she knows the truth about Zhang Yun, she doesn't know what to say to him.
After a long silence, Zhang Yun looked at Lu Shanshan and asked, "I see that you have a good foundation in martial arts, why don't you practice martial arts?"
"Although my family are all martial artists, my father hopes that I can live a happy life and does not want me to get involved in the treacherous struggles."
Lu Shanshan spoke the truth, just like a well-behaved child.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yun frowned slightly and said, "Born into a family of martial arts practitioners, do you think you can always remain untainted?"
“Your father’s intentions are for your own good, and I don’t object to that. But if your family encounters an invincible enemy in the future, and you don’t have enough strength, you can only watch helplessly and do nothing.”
Lu Shanshan was slightly taken aback, feeling that Zhang Yun's words made sense.
She had never really considered this issue before.
But she also knew that Zhang Yun was not exaggerating. For a martial arts family like hers, if someone was not careful and offended someone they shouldn't have, even the extermination of the entire clan would not be an exaggeration.
However, Lu Shanshan sighed softly, "Even if I practice martial arts now, what use is it? Even if I encounter the situation you described, even my family behind me can't handle it. How can I possibly turn the tide on my own?"
“Although you started relatively late, if you are determined to cultivate, I can teach you.” Zhang Yun said solemnly, “I can tell you with certainty that within two years, your cultivation will surpass that of your father.”
"Surpassed my father in just two years?" Lu Shanshan looked astonished and laughed, "Zhang Yun, you must be joking. How is that possible?"
Even though she didn't practice martial arts, she knew that cultivation was not something that could be accomplished overnight, but rather something that required years of accumulation and refinement.
