However, he never expected, nor did he realize, that Zhang Erjiao, who had always been by his side, was actually his cousin, Zhang Yun! "My body contains countless worlds..."

Chapter 309 The Capable Preside Over the Country
"No wonder he was so close to Zhang Ning, no wonder Zhang Ling gave her subordinates that kind of reputation, he was so agitated that he even killed Zhang Ling on the spot!"
Zhang Tian took a deep breath and, recalling Zhang Erjiao's strange behavior over the past two days, figured it all out.
Unfortunately, this was only after the fact. If Zhang Yun hadn't revealed his identity, he would still be in the dark.
No wonder Zhang Xiaotian called him an idiot; he truly was an idiot.
However, he did admire Zhang Yun for daring to reveal his identity in Zhang's home.
Doesn't he know that the Zhang family now has a multitude of Heavenly Realm experts, and even a Star Realm expert in charge?
Could it be that Zhang Yun has a backup plan, which is why he is so fearless?
"So it was this little guy."
At the engagement banquet, a woman with a slender waist and delicate features, exuding the charm of a mature woman, stood there. Her beautiful eyes, like autumn water, revealed a hint of a smile, but also a touch of worry.
After all, this is the Zhang family's stronghold, and their strength is formidable. It would be difficult for Zhang Yun's forces alone to contend with the current Zhang family.
"Lun'er, you may step back now."
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Xiaotian's figure appeared in the void, looking down at Zhang Yun. He didn't seem too surprised by Zhang Yun's true identity, which made Zhang Yun's eyes narrow slightly. He believed that his disguise was very good, and could be said to be flawless.
However, judging from Zhang Xiaotian's series of reactions, it seems that he already knew his true identity.
"Yes, Godfather." Zhang Lun respectfully clasped his hands in greeting, but he still couldn't help but look at Zhang Yun, the one who had made quite a name for himself recently.
Even now, he still finds it hard to understand why Zhang Yun, at such a young age, possesses the strength to kill a late-stage Heavenly Gang realm expert.
It was precisely because Zhang Lun was no match for Zhang Yun that Zhang Xiaotian ordered him to step down.
"Uncle, it's been a long time."
Zhang Yun, who had always buried his overwhelming hatred deep in his heart, looked up at the void and smiled slightly.
“Zhang Yun, my good nephew, you’re back without even telling your uncle so I could have come out to greet you personally.”
Zhang Xiaotian stood with his hands behind his back, as if he were in control of everything, his face showing no emotion.
Zhang Yun smiled and said, "Uncle is getting old and should take care of his health. It's such a small matter, no need for Uncle to show up in person."
“Zhang Yun, now that you’re back, don’t be in such a hurry to leave. After all, this is your home, and your uncle will welcome you back anytime.”
Zhang Xiaotian revealed a kind and gentle look in his eyes, as if it were a conversation between an ordinary uncle and nephew, but anyone could see that both of them were hiding daggers behind their smiles.
“I’m not in a hurry to leave, so I don’t need to trouble you, Uncle. I’ve come back for two reasons: one is to retrieve the things my mother left me, and the other is to take over as the head of the Zhang family. You’ve been managing the family for the past three years, Uncle. You’ve worked so hard.”
Zhang Yun spoke casually and naturally, as if the position of head of the Zhang family was rightfully his.
For the past three years, apart from Zhang Hao, if anyone had heard that someone wanted to replace Zhang Xiaotian as the head of the Zhang family, they would have thought he was crazy.
Now, many people feel that Zhang Yun has gone mad. After all, on the surface, there are only one or two negligible women standing by Zhang Yun's side, while the Zhang family has many Heavenly Gang Realm experts, and even Star Realm experts behind them.
How could Zhang Yun, all alone, possibly contend with Zhang Xiaotian?
"An heirloom?" Zhang Xiaotian wasn't angry. He just looked at Zhang Lun and said meaningfully, "You mean the Pure Pearl in Zhang Lun's possession?"
Zhang Xiaotian's words caused a flash of sharpness in Zhang Yun's dark eyes, and he suddenly understood something.
It seems that Zhang Xiaotian already knew Zhang Yun's true identity and deliberately took out the Pure Pearl to attract Zhang Yun's attention.
But his disguise was flawless, so how did Zhang Xiaotian see through it?
What's even more suspicious is how Zhang Xiaotian knew that the Pure Pearl was so important to him.
After raising these two questions, Zhang Yun couldn't help but feel a little alarmed. Could it be that someone close to him had leaked the information?
Since infiltrating the Zhang family, only a few people know his true identity: Lin Ruoxue, Zhang Ning, and Jin Yanhuabanniu.
The only person who knew that Zhang Yun was looking for Jingzhu was the Golden-Eyed Spotted Ox.
But thinking about it, that doesn't make sense either.
Knowing that it had been poisoned by its own unique and potent poison, how could the Golden-Eyed Spotted Ox dare to betray itself?
unless……
The more Zhang Yun thought about it, the more alarmed he became.
"Jingzhu is a minor matter." Zhang Xiaotian said to Zhang Lun with disdain, "Lun'er, give Jingzhu to him."
Zhang Xiaotian's decision was somewhat unexpected by Zhang Lun. Not to mention that Zhang Xiaotian had originally asked him to give this to Yuan Lingshu, the Pure Pearl in his hand also possessed strange effects. Why would he just hand it over to the Zhang family's mortal enemy?
This doesn't seem like the personality of my godfather, Zhang Xiaotian.
Although he had doubts, Zhang Lun dared not disobey Zhang Xiaotian and threw the Pure Pearl in his palm to Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun was slightly taken aback when he received the Pure Pearl.
The Pure Pearl that he had tried so hard to obtain was given to him so easily by Zhang Xiaotian.
After carefully examining it, he realized that this was indeed the Pure Pearl he had been searching for.
