Zhou Yuanyuan was certain that Ling Xiaotian's "soul swap" story was a lie he'd fabricated out of a desire for Zhou Xi's appearance. Only someone as hopeful as Zhou Xi would believe Ling Xiaotian's lies.
"Miss, I know you are more capable than He Jingjing. You must know all the skills she knows. Miss, please help Ah Xi!" Zhou Xi pleaded.
Zhou Xi knew that Zhou Yuanyuan was much more capable than He Jingjing. He Jingjing knew the "soul-swapping technique" of the cultivation world, and Zhou Yuanyuan certainly knew it, too.
If Zhou Yuanyuan is willing to help, it should not be difficult to change the appearance of his body to General Zhou's original appearance after the soul swap.
"Grandpa Xi, you are wrong. I don't know how to swap souls. I also advise you not to believe in things like soul swapping casually. Everyone's soul and body must be in harmony. If you rashly perform soul swapping, have you thought about the consequences?" Zhou Yuanyuan asked solemnly.
Consequences? Isn't it just that the master has a young body and can continue to live for decades? And Zhou Xi, this life was saved by the master, and now it is only right for him to return a life to the master.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xi said: "Little Miss, as long as the master is fine, it will be fine for Ah Xi."
"Nonsense!" Before Zhou Yuanyuan could speak, General Zhou's angry voice came from outside the door.
When General Zhou left just now, Zhou Xi's door was not closed tightly.
When Zhou Xi and Zhou Yuanyuan looked towards the door, they saw General Zhou with wide eyes after pushing the door open with force.
General Zhou was initially curious about what Zhou Xi might be whispering to Zhou Yuanyuan, so he secretly pulled Wen Ziqing along and stood outside the door to eavesdrop. You have to know, from childhood to adulthood, Zhou Xi had never hidden anything from General Zhou. He always reported everything, no matter how big or small, without General Zhou asking.
When General Zhou heard that Zhou Xi wanted to give his body to him, tears welled up in his eyes. His Ah Xi, after all these years, still hadn't learned to live for himself.
When Zhou Xi was young, an immortal offered to take him in as a disciple, but Ah Xi flatly refused in order not to leave him. Now, Ah Xi is even willing to give up her body for him. How can Zhou Jinyu accept this?
General Zhou grew angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He shook off Wen Ziqing's hand and walked over to Zhou Xi's bedside with great momentum, cursing, "Ah Xi, are you crazy? Or do you think I, Zhou Jinyu, am just a coward in your eyes?"
"Master, Ah Xi dare not think of you like this." Seeing General Zhou getting angry, Zhou Xi quickly jumped off the bed and stood on the ground with his hands hanging down.
"Axi, you can't bear to see me die? How can I, Zhou Jinyu, bear to see you die? If I find out that you're making such a mess all day long, I'll definitely give you a slap in the face!" General Zhou was so angry that he was puffing his beard and glaring.
General Zhou was truly enraged. Birth, aging, sickness, and death were commonplace, and he, Zhou Jinyu, had never feared death. His brother died for him? How could he, Zhou Jinyu, still have the nerve to live in this world?
"Grandpa Zeng, don't be angry." After General Zhou shook off his hand, Wen Ziqing followed General Zhou half a foot away, always paying attention to General Zhou's movements.
Seeing that General Zhou was trembling with anger, Wen Ziqing rushed forward to help General Zhou calm down.
"Yes! Grandpa Zeng, don't be angry. Grandpa Xi means well, it's just that his idea is wrong. Please don't scold him." Seeing this, Zhou Yuanyuan hurried to comfort General Zhou.
"Hmph!" After hearing what Zhou Yuanyuan said, General Zhou did not continue to scold Zhou Xi, but just turned his head away in annoyance.
Zhou Yuanyuan then turned to Zhou Xi and said, "Grandpa Xi, the soul-swapping technique consumes a great deal of spiritual energy. Even cultivators don't dare to use it recklessly. My great-grandfather fell ill because his soul was too weak. His soul simply couldn't withstand the energy consumption of the soul-swapping technique. It's a good thing you didn't do it, otherwise, you would have killed him."
"Ah? Are there so many details in the soul-changing technique? He Jingjing didn't say anything, but just said that she can guarantee the success of the soul-changing technique." Zhou Xi exclaimed.
Zhou Yuanyuan was afraid that Zhou Xi would not give up and would go and cause trouble for Wang Jingjing, Li Jingjing and the like, so she had to tell him the truth.
"Grandpa Xi, He Jingjing is talking nonsense because she has never thought about using the soul-swapping technique for you. Last night, He Jingjing was waiting for you at the Qingxin Bar, not to teach you the soul-swapping technique, but to take over your body!"
Zhou Xi was stunned.
"Grandpa Xi, if you don't believe me, you can ask Yun Shang, the little demon who sent you home. Yun Shang discovered He Jingjing's evil deeds and couldn't bear to see you harmed by her, so she intervened. Oh, by the way, Grandpa Xi, He Jingjing is no longer He Jingjing. The person living inside He Jingjing's body is a male cultivator named Ling Xiaotian."
Zhou Xi was stunned.
Zhou Yuanyuan's words contained so much information that he needed to digest it all. Was the person inside He Jingjing's body not He Jingjing? Had He Jingjing's soul been swapped out with a male cultivator? What nonsense? Why did this sound like a fairy tale?
"Axi, look at you. You believed in evil ways and almost killed both of us." At this time, General Zhou said with pretended grief.
General Zhou didn't blame Zhou Xi for nearly killing him; rather, he was afraid Zhou Xi wouldn't give up and might actually cause trouble. Not all cultivators are good; when they go bad, they're much worse than ordinary people. Back then, if Zhou Yuanyuan hadn't happened to go to the secret realm to find Wen Ziqing, Zhou Xi would have been nearly killed by that Baopu Taoist.
Zhou Jinyu had experienced both glorious and ordinary days in his life. He was already very satisfied to be able to live to be seventy or eighty years old and to witness with his own eyes the transformation of the once devastated China into the vibrant city it is today.
"Master, I'm sorry, Ah Xi almost killed you." Zhou Xi bowed his head in shame and admitted his mistake.
"Next time you have something to worry about, don't keep your thoughts to yourself. Speak them out and let everyone come up with ideas together. This will help you avoid taking detours." General Zhou warned Zhou Xi.
To be honest, General Zhou is dying, and the one who is most worried is Zhou Xi.
Zhou Xi spent the longest time with General Zhou and understood each other's personalities the best.
General Zhou knew that Zhou Xi was a man of deep concern. Although he considered Zhou Xi a brother, Zhou Xi always considered him a servant of the Zhou family. If there was anything, Zhou Xi would only solve it himself and would not dare to trouble General Zhou.
Because of this, General Zhou was afraid that after his death, Zhou Xi would be polite to Zhou Zhixin and others and isolate himself from the entire Zhou family. That's why he advised Zhou Xi not to treat himself as an outsider and to talk more about his thoughts with people close to him like Zhou Yuanyuan.
In General Zhou's heart, he and Zhou Xi are a family, the Zhou family.
