Ye Qiu didn't take Chen Boyi's righteous words to heart.
When it really comes down to life and death, Ye Qiu will not let Chen Bo die.
Two minutes later, the martial arts expert who went in to report ran out.
He first bowed, then politely smiled and said, "Young Master Ye, Madam invites you in. Please come in with me."
"good."
Ye Qiu nodded.
Led by this martial arts master, Ye Qiu and Chen Bo arrived at the Zhou family's living room.
The Zhou family's living room was very large and decorated in a magnificent style.
On the living room wall hangs a valuable ancient painting, the work of a master from the Tang Dynasty.
In addition, there are many antique ornaments on the table, which are extremely valuable and all over 800 years old.
As Ye Qiu and Chen Bo arrived, a beautiful woman stood up and said with a smile, "Young Master Ye, please have a seat."
"good."
Ye Qiu sat down calmly.
Chen Bo, however, dared not sit down and stood nervously behind Ye Qiu.
"Young Master Ye, what brings you here so suddenly?"
The beautiful woman asked with a smile, her demeanor elegant.
Although she is over forty, she has rosy lips and white teeth, radiant skin, and is still very charming.
Without a doubt, this person is the wife of the God of War Zhou Ziling, and her name is Sheng Fanghua.
Ye Qiu glanced at everyone present. Apart from a group of martial arts experts hired by the Zhou family, there were only two girls who looked exactly alike.
These are twin sisters who bear a striking resemblance to Sheng Fanghua; they are Sheng Fanghua's twin daughters.
"Isn't War God Zhou home?"
Ye Qiuming asked a question he already knew the answer to.
"Are you here to see my husband?" Sheng Fanghua said with a smile, "I have never heard anyone say that Young Master Ye knows my husband."
"I wouldn't say I know him personally, but we have a history together, and I want to clarify things with him in person."
Ye Qiu said.
"What is it? It's the same whether you talk to me or not," Sheng Fanghua said.
“Alright, then let’s talk first.” Ye Qiu said, “Five years ago, War God Zhou asked King Zhongbei to find the Eight Desolations Map. Under King Zhongbei’s scheme, nearly a hundred members of the Ye clan in Qianzhou died. Have you heard of this tragedy?”
"What?" Sheng Fanghua's expression changed: "This actually happened back then? I know he asked someone to find the Eight Desolations Map, but I didn't expect the King of Zhongbei to do this. Young Master Ye, the Qianzhou massacre was really not his doing. He just had people find the Eight Desolations Map."
"Is that so?" Ye Qiu said coldly, "But I heard that it was War God Zhou who ordered that no one be left alive?"
“Absolutely not.” Sheng Fanghua said seriously, “He has been at the southern border for many years. Even when he asked someone to find the Eight Desolations Map, he didn’t come in person. It was just a matter of a phone call.”
Moreover, I know very well that he is not one to indiscriminately kill innocent people. This matter was most likely decided by the King of Zhongbei on his own. If you don't believe me, I can call him myself. I won't tell him you're here; I can just ask him about it. You can listen in, how about that?"
Ye Qiu was surprised, not expecting Sheng Fanghua to go this far.
However, Ye Qiu is not someone who can be fooled with just a few words.
"Then, give it a try."
Ye Qiu said.
"good."
Sheng Fanghua took out her phone.
"Mom, why are you trying to clarify things with him? He's prone to misunderstandings, so let him misunderstand. He can't do anything to us anyway."
"Zhou Xiaochen, stop talking nonsense." Sheng Fanghua immediately scolded, "You have no manners at all. You should learn from your sister. Just listen quietly and say less."
"mom..."
Zhou Xiaochen was unconvinced.
"Shut up."
Sheng Fanghua's eyes were sharp and very serious.
Although Zhou Xiaochen was extremely upset, she dared not say anything more.
“Young Master Ye, this is my eldest daughter, Zhou Xiaochen. She is spoiled and doesn’t know how to speak properly. Please forgive her for making a fool of herself.”
Sheng Fanghua said.
"No, madam, please make a phone call."
Ye Qiu said.
"good."
Sheng Fanghua dialed Zhou Ziling's number.
After a while, the call was finally answered, and a dignified and magnetic voice came through: "I'm busy right now, about to go to war with the Li Huo Dynasty. Is something urgent?"
"There's something I've always been curious about and I'd like to ask you," Sheng Fanghua said. "Five years ago, when you sent people to search for the Eight Desolations Map, did you actually order the extermination of the entire human race?"
"Why are you asking this? Did that kid named Ye Qiu come to our house?"
Zhou Ziling was extremely sensitive, yet her voice was very cold.
"He didn't come. I was just curious because Ye Qiu recently arrived in the capital and destroyed the Ji family, so I was a little worried and wanted to ask you about it."
Sheng Fanghua's words were watertight, revealing not a single detail about Ye Qiu's affairs at home.
Zhou Ziling paused for a moment before saying, "Back then, I only instructed the King of Zhongbei to obtain the Eight Desolations Map at all costs; I did not order him to exterminate his clan."
Are you sure you don't?
“I said no, that’s no. Why lie? I’m not afraid of Ye Qiu. I’m hanging up now. If Ye Qiu comes looking for you, tell him to go find Ye Huangchao. Don’t call me again. The war is of utmost importance.”
After Zhou Ziling finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Sheng Fanghua put away her phone, her expression somewhat unpleasant.
Zhou Ziling's tone was extremely cold.
Despite being husband and wife, Zhou Ziling's attitude deeply saddened her.
Sheng Fanghua couldn't remember when Zhou Ziling started to become like this.
"Madam, thank you for your trouble."
Ye Qiu said softly.
If this phone call hadn't been rehearsed beforehand, then Ye Qiu would believe that Zhou Ziling had indeed not ordered the extermination of the Ye clan in Qianzhou.
Even if Zhou Ziling did not issue such an order, ultimately, everything stemmed from Zhou Ziling, and he cannot escape blame.
