General Zhou's expression was somewhat complicated.
General Zhou had observed with disdain over the past few years that Zhou Zhixin and his wife couldn't handle much more than Zhou Yuanyuan and her siblings. Therefore, General Zhou hadn't told Zhou Zhixin about his plans to support Wen Ziqing's rise to power. After all, Wen Ziqing wasn't considered a member of the Zhou family yet.
Alas! His life is so miserable! Even at such an old age, he still has to make plans for his children and grandchildren.
"Dad, I get it!" Zhou Yuanyuan nodded with a smile and responded, which earned her a grateful look from Zhou Zhixin.
Zhou Yuanyuan didn't take Zhou Zhixin's "lessons" to heart at all. Now her family was harmonious and happy, something Zhou Yuanyuan had always wanted. Being able to listen to her parents nagging about her, Zhou Yuanyuan felt very happy.
The family was chatting idly when suddenly Zhou Yuanyuan raised her leg and walked towards the stairs.
Zhou Yuanyuan came to the corner, her figure flashed, and she disappeared on the spot.
Zhou Xi raised his head and glanced towards the stairs in surprise. It seemed... something urgent had happened to his sister.
Zhou Yuanyuan had encountered an emergency. When she appeared in the bedroom, a faint flash of black light could be seen in the clenched fist of her left hand.
After the black light flashed four times, Yan Hei's voice rang out: "Sister Yuanyuan, Sister Yuanyuan, please answer if you hear me, please answer if you hear me."
Zhou Yuanyuan was almost going crazy. She clenched her fists tightly, as if the black jade spoon in her hand would turn into powder in the next second.
Breathe, take a deep breath, one, two, three...
Zhou Yuanyuan tried her best to control herself from going berserk. There was no other way. Yan Hei was too strong. She was no match for him and could not afford to offend him.
"Sister Yuanyuan?" Yan Hei was a little surprised that he didn't hear Zhou Yuanyuan's voice.
"Something's going on." Zhou Yuanyuan gritted her teeth.
If Zhou Yuanyuan hadn't sensed something and jumped quickly, Yan Hei's voice would have been exposed to everyone through the black jade key.
Yan Hei's existence brings mixed feelings to Zhou Yuanyuan. Zhou Yuanyuan is grateful to Yan Hei for saving her life, and Yan Hei is still friendly to her. But Zhou Yuanyuan has never forgotten that Yan Hei is determined to get the Kongming Stone. But the owner of the Kongming Stone is Wen Ziqing.
The contract between Kong Ming and Wen Ziqing is an equal contract. Unless Wen Ziqing dies, Kong Ming has no way to terminate his relationship with Wen Ziqing.
Because of Kong Ming, Zhou Yuanyuan had long anticipated that one day, she and Wen Ziqing would face off against Yan Hei.
Unfortunately, Yan Hei was too powerful, and even Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing, combined, were no match for him. Therefore, Zhou Yuanyuan seemed to have no other choice but to play along.
Yan Hei did not disturb Zhou Yuanyuan's consciousness at all. His mind was still immersed in the excitement of Zheng
"Sister Yuanyuan, let me tell you! I found a younger brother yesterday." Yan Hei said happily.
"Then what?" Zhou Yuanyuan didn't think that Yan Hei, the high and mighty Lord of the Underworld, would need to report to her even something like taking in a disciple.
"Sister Yuanyuan, it's truly fate that we met this brother. That time, I was by the Wangchuan River and saw... floating in the water..." Yan Hei babble, meticulously recounting to Zhou Yuanyuan how he found his unconscious brother in the river, and then fished out a person, oh no, a ghost, from the Wangchuan River. He even emphasized the direction of the wind blowing from the Wangchuan River.
Zhou Yuanyuan was so angry that her teeth were itching. It was finally time for the family to be together again, and she really didn't want to listen to Yan Hei's nonsense! She wanted to go downstairs to the living room and chat with her family!
The treacherous Yan Hei had left her the Black Jade Key so she could control the Immortal Residence. But in reality, Zhou Yuanyuan hadn't even tried using the Black Jade Key to control the Immortal Residence. Instead, Yan Hei had used it to find her twice.
If Zhou Yuanyuan hadn't been concerned about Yan Hei's strength, she would have definitely destroyed the black jade key.
"Sister Yuanyuan, did I disturb you? Hehehe... I'm sorry! I haven't done any good deeds in tens of thousands of years. I just did a great good deed, and God has blessed me with it. That's why I thought of sharing it with you as soon as possible..." Yan Hei didn't know that in such a short period of time, his impression in Zhou Yuanyuan's mind had changed from "idiot" to "villain".
Yan Hei seemed particularly excited today, and he kept talking a lot, repeating over and over again how lucky he was today and how happy he was. As for what kind of blessing Yan Hei had, he never got to the point.
Zhou Yuanyuan seriously suspected that Yan Hei was unable to find anyone to talk to and was feeling anxious, so he "harassed" her again and again.
It had to be revealed. Yan Hei stood by the Forgotten River, feeling the cold, chilling wind as he gazed upon the desolate underworld, a lingering sense of melancholy. Only when he heard Zhou Yuanyuan's voice did Yan Hei feel less alone. Hey! On the other end of the black jade spoon was his own sister, Yuanyuan! A sister closer than a real sister.
"Brother Heizi, if you have something to do, I'm busy!" Zhou Yuanyuan quickly interrupted Yan Hei's nagging.
Zhou Yuanyuan estimated that if Yan Hei continued to nag, he would not stop from now until tomorrow morning. He was a grown man, and I wonder if he had become stupid after being a spirit in the "Immortal Mansion". Tsk tsk tsk...
Within half a minute, Zhou Yuanyuan had already made up her mind. Yan Hei had better be looking for something serious, otherwise, she'd toss the Black Jade Key into the Chaos Orb's trial space. Zhou Yuanyuan didn't like being forced to talk out of the blue.
"Sister Yuanyuan, what are you busy with? I still have a lot to say!" Yan Hei felt a little aggrieved. Why did he feel a hint of disdain in Sister Yuanyuan's tone? No, no, no, this is not true. Sister Yuanyuan is so gentle and cute, how could she dislike him?
I remember when I first met Yuanyuan, she called me "Brother Heizi" all the time, and her tone was sweet. What a nice girl! She didn't look down on him even when he was down and out, and even gave me a black jade token...
Yan Hei secretly thought about how good Zhou Yuanyuan had been to him, and his hurt heart was immediately healed.
"Brother Heizi, didn't you ask me to find something for you? It doesn't take me time to find things." Zhou Yuanyuan didn't want to pay much attention to Yan Hei, the troublemaker, and quickly used the matter of finding the Kongming Stone for Yan Hei as an excuse.
"Hey! Sister Yuanyuan, this is exactly what I want to talk to you about. Do you know? I just accepted a disciple, and he can sense the aura of the Kongming Stone." After being reminded by Zhou Yuanyuan, Yan Hei remembered the real reason he came to see Zhou Yuanyuan today.
