"No matter what, the Marquis of Pingyang is your husband and Zhou Cheng's brother-in-law! My original intention was to give the Marquis of Pingyang to you as an inside agent to help Cheng Guige find out the source of the killing weapon."
"But to my utter surprise, you killed the Marquis of Pingyang without even blinking."
"They're family, after all. Tsk tsk tsk, they really showed no mercy."
"Since you are so ruthless and heartless, and this path is blocked, then we can only resort to the open! Young Master Zhou, the weapons are extremely powerful, and I'm afraid you can't handle having them all in your hands."
"How about we allocate a portion of the funds and have Cheng Gui Pavilion help you share the burden?"
Zhou Chengwei raised his eyelids, his gaze falling on Senior Brother Hao, and gave a sneer that was neither a smile nor a laugh.
This attitude is obvious.
The smug smile on Hao's lips became somewhat forced. He hadn't expected Zhou Cheng to be so composed. After hearing the excuse he had racked his brains to come up with, he didn't respond or offer any opinion!
This is not quite what he expected.
Shouldn't Zhou Cheng have angrily cursed Cheng Guige a few times and said some harsh words? Why did the atmosphere become so awkward and oppressive?
The atmosphere was getting awkward.
It was at this time that...
"Da da da—"
A powerful thud came from directly behind.
A tall, slender figure wearing a black mask walked gracefully towards them. He exuded a powerful aura, and his gaze carried the majesty of a superior. As soon as he appeared, Senior Brother Hao immediately led everyone in bowing respectfully.
In front of Zhou Cheng and the others, he addressed the Pavilion Master.
That title, "Pavilion Master!"
Hearing this, Zhou Cheng narrowed his dark eyes. This was the head of Cheng Gui Pavilion? A man?
Zhou Cheng turned his head to the side.
The black rat also instinctively turned its head to the side.
The two exchanged a quick glance, as if exchanging a message, before returning to their composed demeanor.
"The Pavilion Master of Cheng Gui Pavilion truly possesses unparalleled magnanimity." Zhou Cheng stared at the 'Pavilion Master' with an ambiguous expression and said sarcastically, "With a Pavilion Master like you, it's no wonder that all the members under your command are so respectful, frugal, courteous, and righteous!"
"My elder sister's maid had no grudge against you, yet she was brutally dismembered and died with her eyes wide open in disbelief!"
“My Zhou family has no grudges against you, yet we have been provoked and threatened. We thought the rumors were false before, but now it seems that the words ‘charity’ are absolutely true!”
Zhou Cheng's words were completely nonsensical.
It sounded like a compliment, but every word carried a hidden sarcasm.
The young pavilion master, hidden behind his mask, chuckled tolerantly upon hearing these sarcastic remarks.
"Why must Young Master Zhou travel to the Yin-Yang Pavilion in this way?"
"Honestly, it doesn't matter what you think of Cheng Gui Pavilion, as long as the cooperation goes smoothly. But it's pointless for you to order your men to hide in the distance and launch a sneak attack, isn't it?"
As he spoke,
The young pavilion master suddenly reached out and lifted the black dragon's head, turning it towards a dark direction.
The archers hidden in the shadows were terrified and immediately changed their positions.
Zhou Cheng gave the Pavilion Master a deep look, but said nothing.
The black dragon, whose head had been raised, was weak, with dried bloodstains on its cheeks. A finger-length gash had been torn open at its temple, making it look particularly gruesome.
Senior Brother Hao glanced at Zhou Cheng and the others, his face full of confident smiles.
Tsk tsk!
This is shocking and infuriating?
Then let's be even angrier!
