<h4>Chapter 1208: Chapter 1215: The Origins of Skyhawk Pavilion</h4>


    "Lady Zhu, how much do you know about the Skyhawk Pavilion?" Ling Chen asked. It was hard toe by someone who knew about the Skyhawk Pavilion, and he wanted to ask clearly so he could be prepared.


    "I don’t know much about the Skyhawk Pavilion. If you want to know, you can ask my Mr. Chang. He is mainly responsible for the Zhu Family’s intelligence work; he knows those things best."


    Not long after, Zhu Qing contacted Zhu Houchang and informed him of what had transpired here. After they finished chatting, Zhu Qing handed the phone to Ling Chen.


    "Hello! Mr. Zhu, it’s me, Ling Chen. I have a few questions I would like to ask."


    "Qing has just told me, Mr. Ling wants to know about the Skyhawk Pavilion?"


    "Yes! I wonder if Mr. Zhu could reveal a bit to me," Ling Chen pleaded.


    Zhu Houchang sighed on the other end of the phone, "Speaking of which, this should be a disgrace to our Zhu Family. Although family scandals should not be broadcasted, this was after all many years ago, and today’s Skyhawk Pavilion has nothing to do with the Zhu Family. On the contrary, they have always been the target we want to eliminate."


    Pausing, Zhu Houchang continued: "Qing isn’t very clear about these matters, most of which are heard from the elderly of the Zhu Family. In fact, the matter wasn’t as she said. Back then, it wasn’t that another faction proactively requested splitting off, but they were expelled by the Zhu Family. The ancestor of the Zhu Family believed their ideas undermined the principles the Zhu Family persisted in. To prevent the Zhu Family from copsing due to internal strife, the Zhu Family Head at the time ordered the total expulsion of those people."


    "After being expelled from the Zhu Family, they lived quite miserably, with some even bing henchmen for others. Later, a great force took a fancy to their abilities, not only providing much help but also funding them to establish their own power, which is when the Skyhawk Pavilion was founded."


    Upon hearing this, Ling Chen immediately understood, "So, it was the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion that helped them back then."


    "You know?" Zhu Houchang appeared a bit surprised, "Mr. Ling, I didn’t mention the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. How did you learn about this?"


    Ling Chen smiled slightly, "To be honest with you, Mr. Zhu, I’m facing threats from the Skyhawk Pavilion at any moment, so naturally, I need to do my homework."


    "Since you know about the Skyhawk Pavilion’s backers, I might as well be frank. Yes! It was indeed the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion that helped establish the Skyhawk Pavilion. Since then, the Skyhawk Pavilion has be an affiliate of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. However, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was hidden very deeply, with hardly anyone aware of the existence of the Skyhawk Pavilion. For years, the Skyhawk Pavilion has been doing dirty work for the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."


    "ording to years of investigation by our Zhu Family, the Skyhawk Pavilion is internally divided into two parts. One consists of outer disciples, who specifically handle businesses outside, like the people around Hong Wei—all elite assassins trained by the Skyhawk Pavilion. Besides them, another part belongs to the management of Ying Hall. Ying Hall is the real core of the Skyhawk Pavilion. Like us, most people in Ying Hall are descendants of the Zhu Family. Mr. Ling, you should understand now."


    "One more thing. Mr. Zhu, do you know where the headquarters of the Skyhawk Pavilion is?"


    "Sorry, I don’t know this either. Over the years, our Zhu Family has conducted numerous investigations, but from various indications, we suspect the headquarters of the Skyhawk Pavilion is not in HuaXia."


    Ling Chen asked puzzled, "Why do you think so?"


    "Training an elite assassin is not easy; assassins who haven’t stained their hands with dozens of lives are unqualified. To train elite assassins, they must get ustomed to blood and enjoy killing. However, HuaXia has too many restrictions, and killing too many people would easily invite trouble. Hence, the Skyhawk Pavilion moved the headquarters overseas where there are no regtions, allowing them to act recklessly."


    "Skyhawk Pavilion has trained many elite assassins. Where did these assassinse from initially?" Ling Chen asked.


    "Skyhawk Pavilion was established by Zhu family members, and many of the training methods followed those of the Zhu Family. To give a simple example, our Zhu Family would select some children with better qualifications from orphanages or elsewhere through official channels for training from a young age. Skyhawk Pavilion does the same, but they aren’t as regted as we are. They will use any means to acquire enough children."


    "I see. Thank you, Mr. Zhu, for sharing so much with me."


    "You’re wee. Since the Skyhawk Pavilion wants to attack you, I should help you more," Zhu Houchang smiled, "Mr. Ling, Qing told me their actionst night failed. I apologize for that. Please believe me, our Zhu Family won’t let you down again."


    At this point, it seemed Zhu Houchang thought of something, and he switched topics, "By the way! Mr. Ling, there’s one very important thing I almost forgot. Last time we met, you asked me to check the Zhu Family archives to see if there are records about Guo Qiang and the tomb of Ling Gengqiu. Believe it or not, I really found that information. Let’s talk more about this the next time we meet."


    "Great, I’m looking forward to our next meeting. Take care!"


    After hanging up the phone, Zhu Qing took back her mobile and asked Ling Chen, "What did you chat with Mr. Chang?"


    Ling Chen teased with a smile, "A lot, but unfortunately, it’s stuff girls can’t listen to." After saying this, before Zhu Qing cast a white eye, Ling Chen waved his hand, "Alright! It’s not early anymore. You have had a busy night, get some rest early; there’s still much to be done in theing days."


    The next day.


    Ling Chen had just had breakfast when he received a call from He Ziyun. Before causing trouble at Chengde Martial Arts Hall yesterday, Ling Chen called Tong Zhentian regarding the matter. Presumably, Tong Zhentian mentioned it to He Ziyun, prompting thetter to call and inquire about the situation.


    "Mr. He, you don’t have to worry. I have a grasp on things; nothing will go wrong... Alright, I understand, let’s leave it at that."


    Just as the call ended, Jiang Yunkai hurriedly ran in from outside the rental unit and said, "Chen, a few cars are outside, saying they’re looking for you."


    Ling Chen got up with a smile, "Don’t be afraid, they’re all our people." Saying this, Ling Chen called Tang Guolun and others, and quickly went out to meet them.


    "Ling Chen, you’re in Beijing yet didn’t contact me. Had Master not told me, I wouldn’t have known," Ye Liangyong scolded.


    Ling Chen smiled apologetically, "Mr. Ye, I didn’t want to bother you."


    Ye Liangyong said dissatisfied, "What are you saying? Do we need such politeness between us? Alright, let’s not talk about it. Have your friends pack their stuff; I’ve prepared a ce for you, and it guarantees satisfaction."


    Ling Chen nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Ye."
