"It's a pity. Nanyue Academy is the pinnacle of the Central Plains, surrounded by sea on all sides. Ships from the mainland cannot cross the sea, nor can they reach the islands of Nanyue Academy."
"Only the academically powerful Mohist disciples built large ships capable of crossing the sea many years ago. People from the mainland can only safely reach the island by using the ships of the Nanyue Academy."
"The fake human skin masks they want are beyond the reach of Cheng Gui Pavilion."
“............”
is that so?
Zhou Cheng's suspicious gaze swept over the dozen or so female members. Each of them had a normal expression and sincere eyes. If they weren't so nervous that they were picking at the corner of the table with their fingers, Zhou Cheng might have believed them a bit more.
For the next period of time.
Cheng Yan calmly explained the matter of the human skin mask in detail, implying to Zhou Cheng that as long as he wore the mask, he would be no different from a real person, and even his relatives might not be able to tell the difference.
That's why they were able to come together to @#¥%........
After giving Zhou Cheng the shot of the human skin mask.
Cheng Yan confidently promised that she would definitely be able to find Miss Cheng by next month.
Finally, at Ziyan's prompting, he quickly added shamelessly, "By the way, Young Master Zhou, they came in a hurry. They originally planned to order the human skin masks at Cheng Gui Pavilion."
"I'll go to Miss Cheng's residence to seek refuge and have a chat with her."
"Now that Miss Cheng is missing, they have nowhere to live, it's so pitiful. How about you... as their future brother-in-law, how about..."
As soon as he said that...
The dozen or so female members seemed very shocked, their eyes widening immediately.
they?
What was the leader of Orange Smoke thinking, sending them to follow Young Master Zhou around? Aren't they afraid of being exposed?
Chengyan: She didn't want to either, but now that so-called Princess is in the Zhou family. If the Princess gets her way, what will happen to our master? Won't that burn down the entire Yan Kingdom?
Rather than letting it go unchecked, we should send in a dozen spies to stir up trouble!
Especially that damn silk jade robe, I'd steal it in a heartbeat, I absolutely won't allow it to offend Young Master Zhou's eyes.
“In that case, come back to the Zhou family with me for now.” Zhou Cheng glanced at the female members, then looked at Cheng Yan, who was frantically winking at them: “I’m counting on you for the matter of the Immortal Will.”
Having received Orange Smoke's promise, Zhou Cheng prepared to leave with the female members and others.
He knew that finding the person would take time, and he couldn't force Cheng Guige to find the person immediately, so he could only wait patiently.
But this feeling of constantly being on edge is really uncomfortable.
Where exactly is the divine essence?
"etc!"
"Young Master Zhou."
"I have another piece of advice, but I don't know if I should tell you."
Zhou Cheng stopped, frowned, and slowly turned his head: "You speak."
"Lust is a knife above one's head. To obtain anything in this world, one must pay a corresponding price, whether it be financial gain or physical and mental well-being. There is never a free lunch."
"Of course, Cheng Gui Pavilion is different. As long as Young Master Zhou wants it, Cheng Gui Pavilion can be a sharp weapon in your hand, helping you to rise with the wind, without needing any benefit or reason."
"I hope that Young Master Zhou can always understand that from the moment you possessed the weapon, you have been standing at the forefront of the storm. It is not something you can quell at will. The Zhou family has no way out."
"Either stand at the top, or become the target of everyone's criticism and end up in a miserable state."
"This is my advice, and I hope Young Master Zhou will heed it."
Hearing Cheng Yan's words, which were somewhat reasonable yet absurd, Zhou Cheng was like, "???"
What word, "lust" has a knife above its head?
He's not a pervert!
No, he's not lustful towards other women!
Xia Lin'er, Lin Jiaoyun, He Miaoxue, and others—they all came for his power and status. Similarly, these women could stab him in the back at any moment for their own benefit.
He's not stupid! How could he possibly lose sight of the bigger picture for a small gain?
Zhou Cheng felt that these words were somewhat self-defeating. He looked at Cheng Yan with a strange expression and said, "Why is it that as long as I want, Cheng Gui Pavilion can help me rise to power without any reason or reward?"
"Didn't you just say that there's no such thing as a free lunch?"
Cheng Yan chuckled mysteriously: "Because this is what our Pavilion Master ordered. She said that Cheng Gui Pavilion will always be the Zhou family's backer. As for the reason, you will know it later."
after?
Zhou Cheng had a premonition back in Wangcheng.
Cheng Gui Pavilion has been too lenient with the Zhou family.
Previously, the Marquis of Pingyang had given it to him without hesitation, and now he was doing everything he could to help him find Cheng Xianyi's whereabouts, even offering some thoughtful advice, without asking for any reward.
Does he have any connection with that pavilion master?
Zhou Cheng frowned slightly, unable to recall ever having any contact with the Pavilion Master.
After Zhou Cheng finished dealing with matters at Cheng Gui Pavilion and returned to his residence with a group of beautiful women, the guards at the gate, after their initial stunned silence, rushed over with beaming faces to report to Zhou Cheng:
"Young master, young master, the third young lady is back!"
"We just arrived in Luo'an City and are currently chatting with the General and his wife. They are waiting for you in the main hall!"
