Zo Ye’s father broke off from the main family and went to Changsha later on and started another branch of the Zhang Family.

The secret behind the bronze door is always meant for the Patriarch of the Main Family which is Zhang Qiling. Zo Ye was never meant to know about this. He learned about the bronze door when Zhang Qiling came to find him.

Because their strength of the Main Family is weakening, Zhang Qiling sought out the Mystic Nine to help but they failed terribly.

Not trying to burst your bubbles, but she died in the novel. Either vol 5 or 6, I dont remember.

The secret is never known but if you want to read and find out, there’s a website by merebear helping to translate the novels in english.

Actually, if you read the novel, Zhang Qiling is older than Zhang Zo Fe, distant cousins from the same family.

The link above is the chapter where Zhang Qiling talks to Wu Xie about the reason he needs to leave.

Also, using the same link, you can actually read the Daomu Biji Novels in english as well.
