Black Rat's worried and urgent calls woke Zhou Cheng.
He sat up, wearing a white undershirt, rubbing his temples. His mind was a jumbled mess of thoughts, making it difficult for him to process what was happening.
Where is this?
what happened........
He remembered seeing Xianyi's figure outside the brothel, then rushed in and encountered... He remembered! He encountered Lin Jiaoyun wearing a human skin mask, which he exposed on the spot.
It seems a divine aura has appeared, and he and she...
"Whoosh—"
Zhou Cheng suddenly looked up and quickly checked his points in the supply mall, as well as the mysterious page that had appeared after the update.
Zhou Cheng was stunned by the series of terrifying numbers. He glanced at the bedside in horror and saw the mess on the floor. Then, his memory went back to a few hours earlier.
In the midst of his exhilaration, he remembered that Xianyi seemed to have sent him a few messages...
What did she say she was again?
"The Pavilion Master of Chenggui Pavilion?!"
“This…” Zhou Cheng’s pupils dilated slightly.
"Third Sister betrayed the Zhou family and is going to take a grenade back to the academy?"
"The Eastern Conference recently gathered to form an alliance against the Zhou family?"
"She also said... what was she going to do... Am I dreaming?"
If it weren't for the fact that the points in the supply mall had increased to one billion, if it weren't for the dazzling array of goods scattered all over the ground as evidence, and the soreness in his thighs, Zhou Cheng would have thought he was dreaming.
However——
Before he could think it through...
Black Rat, who had been frantically banging on the door, couldn't wait any longer. He kicked the door open and led a hundred sharpshooters in.
The ambiguous atmosphere in the room and Zhou Cheng's lingering reminiscence caught everyone's attention.
The black rat stopped in its tracks: "???"
The sharpshooters' eyes widened: "!!!"
"Father-in-law...Young Master, what's wrong?"
Zhou Cheng picked up his coat and draped it over his shoulders, his expression regaining its usual composure. He frowned and asked, "What happened? Where are the people from Chenggui Pavilion and the Academy?"
Upon hearing the important matter mentioned, Black Rat quickly suppressed his surprise and replied, "Young Master, Miss Ziyan suddenly ran out in a panic just now, saying that something happened to you and Miss Cheng."
"They also said they knew the hideout near the academy and wanted our people to bring grenades and wipe them out in one fell swoop."
"Oh, Miss Ziyan also said that this was all Young Master's order. We must first eliminate the academy, our rear support, before we can take down the brothel. So I sent Black Horse with Miss Ziyan, carrying hand grenades!"
Because he was worried about what was happening inside the brothel, and because Zhou Cheng had been inside for several hours without any movement, Black Rat was extremely anxious. He believed Zi Yan's tearful account as soon as he heard it.
He immediately brought all 100 sharpshooters over, but only a few went with Ziyan.
After all, Ziyan said it was just a matter of throwing a grenade, and it wouldn't require too many people.
Moreover, having too many people makes it easier to be discovered.
Black Rat thought it made sense, so he handed all five hundred grenades to Black Horse and Purple Smoke, and then rushed to take over the brothel. That's why he saw this scene as soon as he entered.
"I understand." Zhou Cheng rubbed his temples, unsure how to react.
He seemed to... hear what Xianyi was saying.
To wipe out the East and the Academy in one fell swoop, we'd need a lot of hand grenades, wouldn't we?
"Young master! What's wrong? Was there a fight here just now or...?" As he was speaking, Black Rat looked down and suddenly saw a piece of indescribable torn fabric.
He quickly looked away and continued to ask, "Young Master, where is Miss Cheng? Why isn't she here?"
"Was she taken away by people from Nanyue Academy? And what about Miss Qianyan? My men searched every corner of the brothel, but couldn't find her."
Zhou Cheng felt incredibly conflicted whenever Cheng Xianyi was mentioned.
God knows he hasn't recovered from this emotional state yet!
He said that Cheng Gui Pavilion was acting strangely, being far too enthusiastic towards the Zhou family, and that the dozen or so female members were too hostile towards the Princess.
The case is solved!
The fairy-like figure whom Grand Tutor Cheng always called delicate and harmless was actually hiding such a big disguise.
He said that Cheng Xianyi was so docile in front of him, but her affection level was obviously a bit extreme. Whose affection level is measured in hundreds of millions? This doesn't seem to fit the image of a docile and harmless person!
Now it meets the requirements!
"She's very good." Zhou Cheng slowly fastened his belt, savoring the feeling for a moment, then slowly pulled out the grenade's timer, turned off the activation button, and sighed.
"She made me worry for so long. Once I find her, I'll definitely punish her severely!"
"You don't need to worry about the matters at the academy and Cheng Gui Pavilion anymore. Zhou Qianyan won't be returning to the Zhou family either. She'll handle these things. Now, take everyone and come with me to Cheng Gui Pavilion!"
Chenggui Pavilion?
What will she solve?
What do you mean by that, young master?
Black Rat looked up and saw that Zhou Cheng had already walked out of the room. He quickly led the others to follow: "Young Master, what about Miss Cheng? She's defenseless and in danger!"
Zhou Cheng turned and glanced at him, then said something cryptic: "Let's worry about our own safety."
