“Big Brother, eat some wolf leg! Lu Renjia’s cooking is truly exceptional.”
Under the pavilion, Zhou You happily gnawed on a wolf leg.
Li Ying and the three Old Men had already left. Zhou Chao looked at Zhou You, his expression growing increasingly complex.
Truly carefree, living without burdens.
Is this really his younger brother?
That one-hundred-and-eight-year-old younger brother?
“What’s wrong?”
Zhou You was quite puzzled.
Zhou Chao had no choice but to quietly explain the thoughts of Li Ying and the other two, also mentioning Fierce Tiger Gate. After all, with Lu Renjia, an outsider, present, it wasn't good to directly say that Zhou You had killed someone from Fierce Tiger Gate.
If that were to be spread everywhere, even if they initially didn't want to bother with you, they’d have to find a way to kill you.
“Actually, it’s quite simple.”
Zhou You pondered for a moment, “Just kill Lin Long’s elder and younger brothers-in-law beforehand, and don’t alert Fierce Tiger Gate. Wouldn’t that work?”
“…”
Zhou Chao was dumbfounded. This idea was truly confident enough.
He didn't deny that his younger brother had the ability, but those two were elders of Fierce Tiger Gate.
The dignified top five hundred powerhouses of Kunyuan Continent!
How could it be a child's play?
“As for the manpower for the demon plague…”
Zhou You’s eyes darted around, and he raised a hand to point at Lu Renjia, who was still roasting the wolf leg, “He seems to be from some Ancestor Sect?”
Lu Renjia suppressed his anger, “Yaoguang Sect.”
Zhou You nodded repeatedly, “Right, right, Yaoguang Sect. Just have him go back and get some people, wouldn’t that be fine?”
Zhou Chao and Xiao Chen also looked over.
Lu Renjia instantly felt the pressure double, his expression anxious, “Don’t look at me! I’m actually just an outer disciple of Yaoguang Sect. I’m still just a useless Fan Blood Realm Fifth Layer cultivator, so I don’t have much status in the sect!”
Fan Blood Realm Fifth Layer… useless stage!
Zhou You frowned slightly, feeling a sense of being offended.
Lu Renjia’s expression was embarrassed. In fact, he also had his own little scheme in his heart.
If he could introduce a genius like Xiao Chen into the sect, he would certainly gain benefits. Most importantly, their relationship was already good now, so at least someone would take care of him, right?
Eating soft rice?
Don’t even mention it.
How delicious is soft rice? Who wouldn't eat it if they could?
“Speaking of which.”
Zhou You asked, “I forgot to ask you, what were you and the one who got eaten doing that day?”
Lu Renjia hesitated, “Investigating the nearby situation, which was to see if any demonic beasts had entered the sixteenth ring area. The result, as you know, was not very good luck.”
Zhou You let out an “oh,” “So, your sect over there actually knows everything, right?”
Lu Renjia nodded, “We had more than a dozen groups of people go down the mountain at that time. Although I didn’t go back, the others must have sent back the corresponding intelligence.”
Zhou Chao quickly said, “Then what kind of view will Yaoguang Sect hold on this matter? Will they send people to protect the nearby cities?”
Lu Renjia shook his head, “I don’t know. My status is too low. I don’t know what decisions the higher-ups will make.”
After speaking, he quickly added, “Junior believes that this matter still requires Fierce Tiger Gate to take action. Fierce Tiger Gate squeezed into the top five hundred of Kunyuan Continent ten years ago. They have over five hundred disciples, and even their outer elders are in the Zhen Xuan Realm.”
Such a major power was not something Yaoguang Sect could compare with.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao’s brows furrowed tightly.
Although his younger brother had money, once the High-Grade Spirit Stones were exposed, it would definitely be a disaster, not a blessing.
The best way to deal with such precious cultivation resources was to consume them secretly oneself, rather than exchanging them for external items.
Furthermore, they were facing a demon plague; this wasn't a problem of one or two.
The more people there were, the simpler it would be to handle this matter.
Zhou You looked at his Big Brother with amusement, “Is there a need to worry so much? One should think positively. Perhaps the Demon Subduing Division will clear them out when they pass by?”
Zhou Chao smiled helplessly.
That possibility couldn't be ruled out either. It seemed that merely fantasizing here was just mental exhaustion, with little meaning.
As his thoughts settled, Zhou Chao looked at Zhou You, “We’ll depart for Qingping City this afternoon. What do you think?”
Zhou You scratched his head, “I was still thinking of spending some time with our parents. How about this then? You stay at the manor, and I’ll go back with Xiao Chen tomorrow morning. If there’s any discussion, just let Zhou An handle it, wouldn’t that be fine?”
The demon plague had reached here, so he wasn't at ease either.
Before Zhou Chao could speak, Zhou You said again, “Furthermore, you’ve just broken through to the Spirit Connection Realm and still need time to stabilize and cultivate in seclusion. Since I’m back, let me handle these matters. I also want to contribute to the family.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao’s expression was excited, “Good brother, you’ve truly grown up.”
The day after the matter was decided, Zhou You set off with Xiao Chen, and Lu Renjia naturally left the Residence of Nourishment with them.
At their parting, Lu Renjia’s expression was serious, “I will now return to the mountain sect to report. Regardless of the outcome, I will definitely come to the Zhou Family in Qingping City to find you. Also, Zhou Guniang, I hope you can seriously consider this matter. I will also report this to the elders.”
Xiao Chen was stunned, “I…”
Before she could even speak, Lu Renjia ran off in a hurry.
Zhou You paid him no mind and walked straight ahead.
Xiao Chen quickly caught up, “Second Master.”
Zhou You didn't stop, “Can’t bear to part?”
Xiao Chen pouted, “We’re going the wrong way.”
Zhou You was stunned, turned around and looked, “You lead the way.”
Along the way, Xiao Chen was worried, “Second Master, the sect you belong to must be very powerful. Can’t you consider…”
She hesitated to speak.
The meaning was obvious: she wanted Zhou You to bring reinforcements.
Putting everything else aside, just the third-grade demonic beast, Blood Shadow Wolf, had scared her quite a bit.
How could Zhou You dare to reveal the specific situation? “No worries, don’t I still have me?”
Xiao Chen bit her lip lightly, “But no matter how strong you are, you can’t be everywhere at once.”
Zhou You didn’t speak anymore.
The problem was, even if he wanted to bring reinforcements, he had to have some to bring.
There was only one Old Man on the mountain, and he rarely left Zhenyu Pass.
Xiao Chen hurried to catch up, “Second Master, I’m not questioning you. I heard that once a demon plague appears, it’s not just one or two kinds; all sorts of demonic beasts will appear in groups.”
“Sigh.”
Zhou You sighed in his heart, secretly pondering, “I was even thinking of finding a brothel to relax, but this troublesome matter is so annoying.”
Putting everything else aside, for this reason alone…
It was enough for these demonic beasts to die ten thousand times without regret!
Zhou You secretly gritted his teeth, and a surge of nameless anger shot up from his heart.
“Don’t worry.”
Zhou You’s eyes sharpened considerably, “I’ve been away from home for a hundred years, and it’s not easy to reunite with my parents. How could I allow these trashy demonic beasts to destroy my happy life? I just don’t believe it, if the Old Man can do it, I can’t? Although I haven’t killed any demonic beasts in these years, I’ve eaten a lot.”
And every time he ate, it was always demonic cores of the sixth grade or higher!
Because of this, he had no reverence for these demonic beasts.
Since they were foolish enough to invade, then kill them all.
