Chapter 81 Zhou Hanxiao is here again
On his way home, Zhuo Yang chose to walk, enjoying the rare moment of relaxation while walking at night.
Xin Mirou followed a step behind him and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Master, isn't what you're doing too conspicuous?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Yang stopped and laughed, "You think I went too far?"
Xin Mirou shook her head: "It's not that it's excessive, but the commotion you've caused will inevitably attract the attention of cultivators in Lingzhou, and even the entire southeast region will notice you."
"This is the effect I wanted." Zhuo Yang smiled faintly, took another step, stretched his body, and enjoyed the refreshing feeling brought by the night breeze.
Xin Mirou frowned and quickened her pace to catch up. "Why? Shouldn't cultivators keep a low profile?"
Zhuo Yang looked at the stars in the sky and said calmly, "You're right, but what would you do if a powerful enemy was secretly watching you?"
Xin Mirou was taken aback for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, "Master, do you mean that someone is plotting against you in the dark? Should I take action and eliminate the enemy?"
Zhuo Yang shook his head slightly and said softly, "My enemy is very powerful. If you act rashly, you might attract an even stronger being, which would be a loss. Once my cultivation level improves further, I will take the initiative to attack them!"
"I will obey Your Majesty's command!" Xin Mirou's expression turned serious as she bowed respectfully. "When Master attacks the enemy's home, you must take Xiaorou with you. This servant is willing to fight alongside Master to the death!"
In fact, she had already been impressed by Zhuo Yang when she broke through as a cultivator, and now she had found an opportunity to swear allegiance.
Zhuo Yang held her hand, preventing her from kneeling, and smiled, "Your words are enough."
The two continued walking towards the distant tombstone hill. Suddenly, Zhuo Yang's phone rang.
I took out my phone and saw it was my mom!
Zhuo Yang fell silent for a moment, still unsure how to face his parents in this life.
"Master, is that your mother?" Xin Mirou asked softly, then quickly retreated more than ten meters away, not wanting to disturb Zhuo Yang.
Shaking his head and giving up on his dilemma, Zhuo Yang sighed, "The kindness of giving birth and raising is greater than heaven. They are my parents in this life, and they will always be my parents!"
Slide to answer, Zhuo Yang smiled relaxedly, "Mom, what made you think of calling me?"
A familiar voice came from the phone, pleasant and slightly magnetic: "Xiaoyang, you haven't called your mother for half a month. Are you very busy with work?"
The feeling of being cared for made Zhuo Yang unconsciously laugh out loud.
"What are you laughing at? You've got a girlfriend?" Mom asked reproachfully.
Zhuo Yang quickly said, "Mom, go buy plane tickets right away and come to Lingzhou first thing tomorrow morning. I'll pick you up at the airport!"
"Why? Airfare is expensive."
Zhuo Yang became serious and said in a deep voice, "Mom, I'll tell you the details when you get to Lingzhou. Don't ask anything now. Just know that I've launched a counterattack against Wang Shanlong!"
Now that he has a master by his side, Zhuo Yang plans to bring his parents over for protection.
"What? Wang Shanlong?" Mom exclaimed, her phone vibrating.
Zhuo Yang moved his phone away a bit and said with a wry smile, "Mom, don't ask anymore. I know what I'm doing, nothing will happen."
"No, I need to find out right now! You have no idea how much power Wang Shanlong wields!" Mom said, her voice a mixture of anger and anxiety. "Wang Shanlong is a ruthless and vicious man. His specialty is destroying people through conspiracies..."
Zhuo Yang had no other choice but to explain over the phone, finally managing to fool his mother by using the excuse that Wang Shanlong might be eavesdropping on his calls.
Sighing, Zhuo Yang felt he had never been so tired; his mother was too difficult to deal with.
Zhuo Yang had to pick up his parents from the airport early the next morning, so he put aside his thoughts, took Xin Mirou with him, and leaped into the air, quickly returning to Tombstone Mountain.
Before I could even have a drink of water after entering the house, the security guard at the gate called to say that someone had come to visit.
"Mr. Zhuo, it feels like three autumns have passed since we last met!" Zhou Hanxiao said casually, extending his hand with a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
Zhuo Yang looked at him expressionlessly: "You can't smoke at home if there are women in the house!"
Zhou Hanxiao looked embarrassed and quickly threw the cigarette butt outside the door.
In the end, Zhuo Yang still had no intention of inviting him into the house.
“A batch of precious medicinal herbs will be delivered to Lingzhou in a few days. I’ll have someone send them directly to you, how about that?” Zhou Hanxiao smiled wryly, finally finding a topic to start the conversation.
Zhuo Yang nodded indifferently, "I will sign for it when the time comes. The purchase price of the medicinal materials will be deducted from the price of the pills I sell to you."
Zhou Hanxiao gasped, feeling a toothache. "You're such a shrewd businessman!"
"Is there anything else?" Zhuo Yang asked coldly.
The smile on Zhou Hanxiao's face froze, and he felt helpless. His former playboy demeanor turned dejected: "I came to borrow someone from you."
"Who?"
"she!"
Zhou Hanxiao pointed to Xin Mirou inside the house, who was holding a bowl of millet porridge and drinking it.
"No!" Zhuo Yang refused decisively.
"Let's discuss it." Zhou Hanxiao said with a bitter face, thinking to himself, "Why am I so unlucky? Which cultivator wouldn't rush to curry favor with the Dragon Court as soon as they hear about it? Only you dare to give me attitude!"
After pleading for a long time with a shameless grin, Zhuo Yang not only refused but also closed the door.
The two men stood awkwardly in the doorway.
Zhou Hanxiao lit another cigarette, took a puff, and then said in a low voice, "Brother, you've got guts today. Not only did you kill Lang Chi, that Golden Core expert, but you also brought along a Nascent Soul expert. You've completely trampled the reputation of the Lingzhou Cultivator Alliance underfoot. I admire you!"
"Let's get down to business. What does your Dragon Court think?" Zhuo Yang asked in a cold voice.
Zhou Han chuckled and said, "I don't really watch it. Anyway, you haven't bullied any ordinary people, so we won't care if you break the law."
"However, the Fu family's affairs are very troublesome!"
After saying that, he stared into Zhuo Yang's eyes with a half-smile.
Zhuo Yang frowned and said in a deep voice, "Fu Zhiqi is a cultivator who has mastered the Ghost-Binding Body Tempering technique."
“I know, we’ve been watching him for a long time.” Zhou Hanxiao stretched lazily. “You’ve ruined our entire plan, you know that?”
"What do you mean?" Zhuo Yang frowned, a bad feeling creeping over him.
Zhou Hanxiao took a deep breath and became unusually serious: "More than two hundred years ago, the Fu family, together with four other ghost-binding families, committed a heinous act that angered both heaven and man, causing countless deaths and injuries within a radius of hundreds of miles, and allowing vengeful ghosts to roam freely. Subsequently, several major sects in the cultivation world joined forces to annihilate the five major ghost-binding families."
"Twenty years ago, the Fu family secretly rebuilt their power in the secular world. Our Dragon Court had been keeping an eye on them for several years. We originally wanted to capture all five major ghost-binding families in one fell swoop and find out what the secret was back then, but we didn't expect you to interfere."
"Now the true heirs of the Fu family have all gone into hiding, and Longting's plans have been completely ruined, all because of you. How do you intend to compensate Longting for its losses?"
Hearing this, Zhuo Yang snorted: "Stop talking nonsense and just say it. What do you want me to do?"
"I need you to find something for Longting at the auction in two days!" Zhou Hanxiao said lazily, taking another drag of his cigarette.
