"Brother, do you still have to go by yourself..."
Good tried to be as quiet as possible, but when passing by his sister's room, she still heard the sound outside the door was from Good.
Looking at his sister's worried expression, Good forced a smile and said, "How could that be? I'm so afraid of death, I definitely won't act on my own, so don't worry!"
"But tonight, you guys..." Guliman couldn't help but want to stop him.
Good grinned and said, "It's okay, I'm just going to scout out the situation. There won't be any conflict. I'll come back as soon as I'm done, I promise."
"How about we go together?" Guliman still felt worried.
Good Lian Yiban reprimanded, "Behave!" Then he hugged his frightened sister and gently advised, "Behave, I'll be right back, just scouting ahead."
Click.
The two turned to look, and saw the door of the neighboring room open, and a dark-skinned young man walked out.
"Please keep your voice down, my master is resting." He seemed to be blaming Good for being noisy and disturbing his master.
"Sorry, we're leaving now." Good He apologized by bowing in accordance with local customs.
The young man glanced at them without saying anything and then turned and went inside.
After a simple reassurance, Guliman watched his brother disappear into the night.
"How was it? Who was making all that noise outside just now?" Huangpu Xin asked as he reviewed the martial arts techniques in his mind.
Zheng Yunyu said awkwardly, "As for the master...person's words, they are from a pair of siblings, seemingly bidding farewell with some excitement. I've already reminded them, so they should be leaving soon."
Huangpu Xin twitched his mouth and said, "You'd better call me 'Mr.' instead. This master-servant dynamic sounds strange, like some weird play..."
"Th-this won't do! You don't want me?!" Zheng Yunyu was anxious, about to resort to the old routine of begging on his knees.
Huangpu Xin quickly stopped him, saying, "Stop stop stop! What's going on? I want you to change how you address me simply because it doesn't sound good. If it spreads, people will think I have some kind of special preference."
"Oh..."
"Also, in the future, don't kneel and bow so easily. Loyalty to me is not something that can be demonstrated by just kneeling and bowing. Perhaps in the future, there will be many places where I will need you..." Huangpu Xin said with deep meaning.
"Yes, sir," Zheng Yunyu called out awkwardly.
Huangpu Xin glanced at the mirror and inwardly mocked himself: "Hey, who's the 'sir'? Clearly just a young man, and a barbarian at that!"
"Zhou, my friend, let's have a heart-to-heart talk, what do you say?" Zhong Jinyuan spoke first.
Late at night in the Lord's Mansion, in Zhong Jinyuan's study, two people are playing chess. It's not Zhou Dian and Zhong Jinyuan, then who could it be?
Zhou Dian placed a piece down and said expressionlessly, "Brother Zhong, you are right. I have reached the Golden Elixir stage..."
"Sure enough..." Zhong Jinyuan looked as if he understood everything, fortunately, he had just made time to visit the Guardian City Array, otherwise, wouldn't he have missed a strong reinforcement?
Zhong Jinyuan sighed, "Years have passed, I didn't expect Brother Zhou's immortal fate to be so profound. In just a few years, he has already reached the Golden Core stage! Alas, I have wasted my life, only just entering the Solid Essence realm..."
"Brother Zhong, there's no need for this. Zhangyu City is strategically located and difficult to conquer. It's impossible for ordinary people to do so. Joining a sect and seeking the support of the city lord, breaking through the barriers should not be difficult." Zhou Dian spoke sincerely.
Zhong Jinyuan shook his head and said, "It's not that simple... Although as Brother Zhou said, my the Zhong family has already joined the Divine Court, we are still under attack from all sides during my daughter's wedding. I hope Brother Zhou can help me out!"
"Currently, the the Zhong family is as stable as Mount Tai, and Miss Zhong's relationship with Divine Court shouldn't be a big deal whether there's one more or one less of us..." Zhou Dian hinted and inquired.
Zhong Jinyuan sighed before slowly saying, "As is well known, Divine Court has offended quite a few people..."
Zhou Dian showed a change in expression and asked, "So what brings you here this time?"
"It's the Thirteen Wonders of the Divine Move," Zhong Jinyuan replied slowly.
"Is Thirteen Wonders of the Divine Move the grandmaster of the solidification stage?" Zhou Dian's move seems to have no effect.
Zhong Jinyuan nodded and said, "Yes. His family has a deep feud with Divine Court, and Liao Shisan himself has a deep grudge with Qi Liang."
"That shouldn't be standing opposite the the Zhong family. If I remember correctly, the the Liao Family is not far from Shengkuan City, which is close to Zhangyu City. Aren't they afraid?"
Zhou Dian said that Shengkuan City is thousands of miles from Zhangyu City, but there are no other cities between the two cities, so they are considered neighbors. Moreover, Zhangyu City controls the land and water routes, and everyone wants to be on good terms. If they offend the the Zhong family in Zhangyu, they will probably suffer a great loss in waterway trade.
"Words are correct, but this time that old thing may have someone behind him..." Zhong Jinyuan said with a serious tone.
Zhou Dian understood that Zhong Jinyuan was talking about Lord Liaoyonghong of Shengkuancheng. The the Zhong family now has the support of the Divine Court, and the the Liao Family should have avoided their edge. Unexpectedly, they are facing it head-on, threatening to kill Qi Liang. There must be a force opposing the Divine Court behind them, otherwise, the small the Liao Family, with just two divisions of the Divine Court, could be wiped out.
Zhou Dian shook his head and said, "To be honest with you, I came to the Sanxian Mountain Range for an important matter."
"Oh? What is it?"
Zhou Dian pointed to his head and said, "Ethereal Soul issue."
"Ethereal Soul issue?" Zhong Jinyuan chewed on these four words.
Zhou Dian nodded and said, "That's right. A few years ago, I was exploring ruins and was ambushed by barbarians, leaving me with a lingering illness. Now, I have finally found a way to treat it."
Zhong Jinyuan pondered and said, "Come to think of it, you separated from Suyan on your way here, and the boy you brought back, could he be the method of treatment?"
"Yes. This person knows the magic of the barbarians, and his techniques are related to the one who harmed me," Zhou Dian explained.
Zhong Jinyuan frowned, "Does brother Zhou have any difficulties? Do you need me to use torture to extract a confession?"
"That's not necessary, I have already taken care of it. It's just that the young man seems to be afflicted with a serious illness from excessive use of magic, causing stiffness in his limbs. He needs to rest. So, we need to stabilize his condition first before treating me, otherwise there could be problems."
Zhong Jinyuan slapped his thigh, "That's easy! You just let him treat you, I'll arrange a place for him to rest! And if there's any medicine for healing, just let me know!"
Zhou Dian: "Then I'll thank Brother Zhong first."
"Never mind, never mind," Zhong Jinyuan waved his hand, "Your business is my business!"
Zhou Dian nodded, intending to speak up. However, before he could say anything, Zhong Jinyuan's expression suddenly changed: "Not good! Someone has broken into the inner courtyard!"
The the Zhong family's mansion is divided into inner and outer courtyards, with a concentric circular structure. During the day, Zhou Dian's small courtyard belongs to the outer courtyard, where most of the peripheral members, guest officials, and visitors reside. The inner courtyard is where the core members of the the Zhong family live.
"Are they here for the young lady?" Zhou Dian asked.
Zhong Jinyuan took out a control panel and started operating it, "No mistake, the people from Divine Court are not arriving until tomorrow. They must want to abduct Ji Ying ahead of time! Let me seal off the inner courtyard first!"
