Chen Zhou looked at Yuan Ziyi openly. Originally, Yuan Ziyi thought that Chen Zhou was just someone with a small force protecting him who had gotten lucky and entered the eighth level through the teleportation channel. In the end, she only had so many brothers left. So she thought that Chen Zhou would probably go to the capital city to register directly. But she didn't expect that he would actually take care of the local local tyrants.
This was something Yuan Ziyi never expected. Now she was slowly beginning to believe what Chen Zhou had said. It was probably true that her squad leader's master was this man!
"You don't need to understand. The purpose of my return this time is to ask you something," Chen Zhou said, continuing to stare at Yuan Ziyi.
"Looking for me? What's up?" Yuan Ziyi felt a chill run down her spine when she noticed Chen Zhou staring at her intently without blinking. She hesitated to ask, wondering if this man was just like that fat guy. Had his true nature been revealed after he became successful? Had he not even checked his newfound wealth before coming back to see the two women?
This made Yuan Ziyi increasingly uneasy as she thought about it, and she unconsciously moved her body away from Chen Zhou. Seeing Yuan Ziyi do this, Ning Qing'er also imitated Yuan Ziyi's posture, constantly moving away from Chen Zhou, which happened to be closer to the door.
That way, if Chen Zhou says anything, they can run straight to the gate! The first priority is to get away from this great demon!
However, Chen Zhou's next words immediately stunned the two of them.
"I want you to come with me to find Wo Wan." Chen Zhou didn't notice their subtle movements. He only knew that after he finished speaking, the two of them froze in place, as if something was different from before! It seemed like they were both moving just now?
However, Chen Zhou didn't think that much about it. His attention was focused on Yuan Ziyi. Right now, his world revolved around whether Yuan Ziyi agreed to go with him to find Wowan.
"good."
Surprisingly, Yuan Ziyi readily agreed, which relieved Chen Zhou. The journey ahead should be easier. Yuan Ziyi came from the Ninth-Level Army; she must be quite capable. With her by his side, he wouldn't have to resort to his own strength so often, right?
Previously, Chen Zhou, along with the people of the Advanced Alliance, would often take matters into his own hands whenever something happened. Fortunately, the middle-aged merchant's Nine Linked Rings had an unexpected effect in the teleportation channel.
“That’s great, that’s exactly why I came back this time, I wanted to ask you this question.” Chen Zhou said.
It was already close to evening, and Chen Zhou didn't know when he had set off.
"When do we set off?" Yuan Ziyi asked.
Chen Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, it's already late today."
"Then why don't you stay for dinner?" Ning Qing'er said. She didn't have much to repay Chen Zhou with, and inviting him to stay for dinner was probably the only way she could do so.
Although she lives on the eighth floor, it was entirely assigned by the Burning Ground. Some people are born with good assignments, but unfortunately, she was assigned to this place because she could sense demonic energy before entering the Burning Ground. She has a great talent, but unfortunately, she hasn't made any further progress since entering.
This has resulted in my current combat ability being quite low. However, I have learned a lot from that old man. After entering this eighth level, I owe a lot to the old man's care. Otherwise, I don't know what I would be like now.
“That’s fine. I’ll stay and eat, then go check out that territory, rest for the night, and set off tomorrow,” Chen Zhou replied.
Ning Qing'er nodded, then got up and walked outside with Yuan Ziyi. Chen Zhou didn't linger in the room either, and followed the two outside.
After leaving the room, Chen Zhou followed behind the two women and said, "I have arranged two people at the entrance of this house. These two people are not fixed; different people will be assigned each day. They are here to ensure your and Grandpa's safety. You only need to provide one meal a day. They will arrive after breakfast and leave at dinner time."
Now, Yuan Ziyi is following Chen Zhou to find Wo Wan in this house, so the only people living in this house are Ning Qing'er and the old man. Chen Zhou arranged this so that these two people could protect the old man and Ning Qing'er.
Upon hearing Chen Zhou's arrangement, Ning Qing'er was taken aback for a moment, but then she reacted and immediately said, "There's no need for such trouble! This village is very peaceful! As long as you really take down that local gangster organization, no one will come looking for trouble."
“You’re wrong about that,” Yuan Ziyi retorted immediately after Ning Qing’er finished speaking.
Chen Zhou was going to answer anyway, because even without the harassment from that local gangster, there would probably still be other people harassing him.
But Yuan Ziyi had already spoken first.
"Everyone within a ten-mile radius knows there's a beautiful country girl here; she's quite famous. So even without the local bullies causing trouble, others will still come to bother us," Yuan Ziyi said.
Upon hearing Yuan Ziyi's words, Chen Zhou immediately understood the true meaning she wanted to convey.
What she meant was that if there was a big fat man on this eighth floor, then there would be a little fat man, a second fat man, and so on, even a fourth fat man. It's likely that before, because of the existence of the big fat man, the others didn't dare to compete with him. Now that the news of the big fat man's death has spread, everyone else will come looking for Ning Qing'er again.
The most obvious reason is that the threat of that big fat man is gone.
Therefore, it is a wise move for Chen Zhou to leave two people guarding this gate.
"Stop talking nonsense," Ning Qing'er said shyly.
After saying this, Chen Zhou stopped following the two men and returned to the entrance. He briefly explained the situation to them, meaning that they no longer needed to guard the place and only needed to serve as upper-level members of the Advancement Alliance. He added that it was just a temporary situation where no one was available to come over.
The two people were naturally extremely grateful to Chen Zhou. Although they had been standing outside for a long time, they did not have any ill intentions towards Chen Zhou.
Their leader ordered them to do it, so naturally they had no complaints.
Afterwards, the two prepared a meal. Chen Zhou then led the two gatekeepers from the Advanced Alliance to eat. Following that, under Yuan Ziyi's guidance, they prepared to head to the old forces' territory, which was now the Advanced Alliance's territory.
Chen Zhou didn't let the two gatekeepers from the Advanced Alliance leave, but instead waited until the next shift change to arrive before letting them go. So, they would have to work hard for a while.
Chen Zhou and Yuan Ziyi were already heading towards the territory of the Advanced Alliance. The entire field was now shrouded in moonlight, and it was completely dark. Every time Chen Zhou saw the sky here, he couldn't help but wonder whether the sun and moon were real or not.
