Chapter 5732 Slander

The young man, who had been keeping an indifferent attitude and had no expression on his face even after being rescued by Zhang Yifeng, changed his expression when he heard the mysterious strong man in front of him say his name.

"You, who are you and why do you know my name?"

Shui Xin raised his head in surprise, revealing the confused look that only a teenager of his age should have.

"Hmm... so you're the one who was exiled by the Water Clan?"

Zhang Yifeng said this with a strange look on his face, then turned to look at the dozen or so Shui clan guards.

"If what I know is correct, Shui Xin should be the child adopted by your clan leader."

"And his father also sacrificed his life for the survival of the Water Clan. How dare you exile him to a place like this?"

After Zhang Yifeng finished speaking, there was a hint of solemnity in his eyes as he gazed at the Shui clan guards.

"You, you know so much about our clan?"

"But don't get me wrong, my lord. Exiling Shui Xin was not our idea. It was the young patriarch's idea."

The captain of the guard heard the dissatisfaction in Zhang Yifeng's words and hurriedly explained.

Originally, Shui Xin's status in the Shui clan was indeed not low. Although he was not qualified to inherit the leadership of the clan, he was at least the adopted son of the clan leader.

Moreover, someone had been secretly protecting Shui Xin, and no one in the clan dared to do anything bad to him.

But only recently has everything started to change.

Their clan leader was suddenly found poisoned the day before and has remained unconscious ever since. Naturally, leadership of the clan fell into the hands of the young clan leader.

In addition, some people in the tribe claimed to have seen with their own eyes that Shui Xin was summoned into the rest tent by the tribe leader that night, and no one else entered or left the tribe leader's tent that night.

As a result, Shui Xin was undoubtedly the biggest murderer who murdered the patriarch.

In addition, the strong man who was hiding in the dark to protect Shui Xin also disappeared. The young patriarch, who was determined to avenge his father, immediately decided to exile Shui Xin.

And it was not just as simple as exile. The young patriarch also called Shui Xin the son of the devil, saying that he was a broom spirit who only knew how to harm people.

No matter if it is Shui Xin's father or the patriarch of the Shui clan, anyone who has anything to do with him will be affected by the disaster.

For this reason, expelling Shui Xin from the Shui clan is the best way to deal with it.

With Shui Xuan's instigation, Shui Xin's exile finally became a foregone conclusion.

After hearing the whole story, Zhang Yifeng pondered for a while and turned to look at Shui Xin.

"So, did you really do what they said?"

Zhang Yifeng raised his eyebrows and asked in a very serious tone.

"Of course not. I did go to the chief's tent."

"But the clan leader called me there because he had something to tell me to do. I definitely didn't do anything to harm him."

Shui Xin shook her head and replied with a firm look.

"Well...I believe you."

Zhang Yifeng stared at Shui Xuan for a while, and seeing that he didn't show any sign of wavering, he spoke in a deep voice.

Shui Xin, who had gained Zhang Yifeng's trust, showed a rare expression of joy on her face.

He didn't know why he was so happy about the trust of a stranger.

"May I ask who you are and why you want to help us?"

"Your Excellency seems to be very interested in our Shui Clan? And he knows Shui Xin very well."

The captain of the guard watched for a long time, but couldn't help but take a step forward and ask Zhang Yifeng.

Although Zhang Yifeng rescued them, his constant inquiries about the Shui clan's situation still made him a little wary.

Even though Shui Xuan had just abandoned them, the Shui clan was still a clan worth defending throughout their lives.

He would not betray his clan just because someone saved his life.

"Don't you know? Shui Xin, how much do you know about the mysterious man who often helps you behind the scenes?"

Zhang Yifeng looked at Shui Xin with a smile on his face and asked in a calm voice.

Shui Xin was surprised to hear that Zhang Yifeng knew so much about the mysterious person who often helped him.

But he looked Zhang Yifeng up and down for a long while, then shook his head vigorously and said in a deep voice: "No, you can't be that one."

"Although I don't know his identity, it is absolutely impossible for him to appear in front of me on his own initiative."

Shui Xin's expression quickly calmed down, and she looked at Zhang Yifeng in a serious tone and spoke.

He had never had any contact with the person who secretly protected him, but he could draw a lot of conclusions just from the key information he captured with his keen intuition.

Although that person had always protected himself, he had never shown up on his own initiative.

Even in the entire Shui clan, there were people who had seen him once, but only he, the protected person, had not been able to see his true appearance with his own eyes.

From then on, he knew that this mysterious person who was protecting him secretly would never appear in front of him.

The reason is no longer known, but Shui Xin has thought of countless possibilities.

Is that person not wanting to appear in front of me because of guilt or something?

As soon as he thought of this, he looked at Zhang Yifeng in front of him, and a desire for knowledge flashed in his eyes.

Just as Shui Xin was about to ask Zhang Yifeng if he knew any information about that person.

But the mysterious man in white in front of him shook his head at him.

"I'm sorry, I promised this friend not to tell anyone what I know."

"Your guess is correct. I do know the person who is protecting you in secret."

Zhang Yifeng put one hand behind his back and said in a calm voice.

The reason why he knew about Shui Xin's existence was naturally because Yanlong told him.

Yanlong once told him that in order to atone for his sins, he had stayed in the Shui clan for several years before coming to the Yan clan.

During this period, he had been secretly protecting Shui Xin and preventing him from suffering any harm.

The reason for all this is that Shui Xin's father was a general of the Shui clan and was ordered to be stationed in the Yan clan.

Moreover, the friendship between Shui Xin's father and Yanlong is quite deep, and it can even be said that they are almost like brothers.

But the Flame Dragon at that time was deeply bewitched by the devil, and he could be cruel even to his comrades who were like brothers.

In the end, Shui Xin's father successfully spread the news before his death and had someone bring it back to the clan.

And he himself is sleeping forever in a foreign land.

Yanlong knew very well that he had to pay for the sins he had committed, so he stayed with Shui Xin for many years under an assumed name to protect him.

Only after he confirmed that Shui Xin had a place in the Shui clan did he feel at ease to leave for his current Yan clan.

Previously, Yanlong had specifically requested Zhang Yifeng to help him check on Shui Xin's condition when passing by the Shui clan, and described Shui Xin's appearance to him.

Zhang Yifeng had not expected that he would meet the little guy who had been protected by the Flame Dragon for several years in such an occasion.
