"Shh!" Zhou Yuanyuan put her index finger in front of her lips, signaling Wen Ziqing to be quiet, and then said softly: "The old man downstairs was knocked unconscious by me in Yuanbao Lane in Sanhe Town. I wonder if he is here to seek revenge."
"Huh?" Wen Ziqing glanced at the person Zhou Yuanyuan was pointing at and couldn't help but frown. His little girl was really tough. She even dared to plot against the famous housekeeper Zhou.
"Hehe, hehe..." Zhou Yuanyuan saw what Wen Ziqing wanted to say from his eyes and couldn't help but laugh dryly.
It's not her fault! Who made that old man sneak around behind Dad? Who else should I hit if not him?
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuanyuan felt that she was right and couldn't help but puff out her chest.
How had Zhou Xi offended the little girl? Why did she do such a cruel thing to her? Wen Ziqing was a little curious.
"Let's go and admit our mistake." Wen Ziqing looked at Zhou Yuanyuan with amusement. The little girl's look reminded Wen Ziqing of the words "being unreasonable".
Zhou Yuanyuan twisted her body reluctantly. An apology? What kind of apology? The old man was in the wrong first, and he didn't even know he was the one who hit him. Wouldn't an apology reveal everything? God only knew what he was trying to do by sneaking around after Dad that day.
"What's wrong?" Wen Ziqing couldn't help but find it funny when he saw that Zhou Yuanyuan was unwilling to move for a long time and rolled her eyes angrily.
This is the little girl's personality. Black is white, right is right, wrong is wrong. She doesn't know how to compromise. People with such a personality can't do things that are not what they say, and it really makes it difficult for her.
"Hey, no need to go, he's gone." Zhou Yuanyuan didn't want to see Zhou Xi, so she secretly released her spiritual sense to observe Zhou Xi's movements. Seeing that Zhou Xi had already said goodbye to Wen Yiran and walked towards the gate of the compound, Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but smile. Now, Brother Ziqing didn't have to force herself to face that old man, right?
"You little rascal." Wen Ziqing stretched out a finger and tapped Zhou Yuanyuan's upturned nose, saying unhappily.
"Brother Ziqing, let's go! Let's go shopping." Zhou Yuanyuan remembered that she had never seen a large shopping mall in this era! She couldn't help but feel longing. Since she was in Qingshan City, she must buy some "local specialties" to take home, and by the way, see what is selling best in this era, to prepare for her future "money-making career"!
Before Zhou Xi reached the gate of the compound, he suddenly felt a sense of alarm and a powerful spiritual sense locked onto Zhou Xi.
Was he being targeted by a master? Remembering what the Taoist said back then, that the strong were respected in the world of cultivation, Zhou Xi finally understood. Under that powerful divine sense, Zhou Xi summoned all his courage to mechanically move his steps.
After two seconds, the spiritual consciousness did not make any other moves towards Zhou Xi, nor did it issue any instructions to Zhou Xi. Only then did Zhou Xi feel relieved.
Thinking of Wen Yiran's adventure, Zhou Xi's tense back slowly relaxed. So far, Zhou Xi hadn't noticed any hostility from the master. It seemed the master wasn't trying to warn him. Perhaps he was observing his actions from the shadows before revealing himself?
Zhou Xi didn't dare to look back, so he had to walk out of the compound step by step at his original speed.
Sure enough, after leaving the compound, the feeling of being watched disappeared. Zhou Xi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and once again resolutely decided to make friends with the Wen family. Not to mention Wen Yiran's promotion, just because the Wen family had such a powerful helper, Zhou Xi did not dare to underestimate Wen Yiran.
Zhou Yuanyuan had no idea that her unintentional actions had been interpreted by Zhou Xi as a "test from a master." She was a novice cultivator, and in the days since receiving the inheritance, she had been preoccupied with practical household chores, not yet having the time to systematically study. Zhou Yuanyuan was unaware that in the world of cultivation, spiritual awareness was forbidden. If a lower-level cultivator used it to spy on a higher-level cultivator, they would be annihilated in a matter of seconds.
Furthermore, spiritual consciousness has more than just the ability to spy; it can also transmit sounds. When monks converse with one another, they don't need to speak out loud; through spiritual consciousness, one monk can directly transmit what they want to say to another. When monks battle, they can even use spiritual attacks to shatter the other's sea of consciousness. A monk's primordial spirit resides in their own sea of consciousness. Once the sea of consciousness is destroyed, the primordial spirit dissipates, and the monk dies.
Zhou Xi has some connection with the cultivators, and the skills Zhou Xi practices also have some origins, but Zhou Xi's qualifications are limited, and he has only learned a little bit of the basics.
Zhou Yuanyuan didn't know that Zhou Xi had given her the title of "senior master". After Zhou Xi left, Zhou Yuanyuan took Wen Ziqing's hand and went out shopping.
Qingshan City covers an area of more than 6,000 square kilometers and has a population of more than one million. It is one of the top ten cities in China.
Qingshan City is surrounded by abundant coal resources. The Qingshan Coal Mine is the city's largest state-owned enterprise, employing tens of thousands of people. Qingshan also has a well-developed textile industry, and the Qingshan Cotton Textile Factory is one of the companies that citizens are eager to work in.
With the support of these two major enterprises, Qingshan City has three department stores. Among them, Qingshan City No. 1 Department Store is located on the main street Jiefang Street. It is the largest department store in Qingshan City with the most comprehensive products.
After finishing their meal at the Wen family's, Zhao Yunxiang and Zhou Zhixin took the small light bulb Zhou Jiasheng and the big light bulb Zhao Guohui and headed to the No. 1 Department Store in Qingshan City.
Along the way, Zhou Zhixin noticed that something was amiss with his brother-in-law. Zhao Guohui was a cheerful man, and Zhou Zhixin didn't recall him being so silent all day long.
Zhao Guohui's resignation had been discussed with Zhou Zhixin long ago. Zhou Zhixin remembered that Zhao Guohui had not been depressed by the "material incident" at the time, but rather had been full of confidence.
What had happened a few days ago to make Zhao Guohui so depressed? Was it Xu Liqin? Zhou Zhixin pondered.
The affair between Zhao Guohui and Xu Liqin was no secret in the Zhao family. To Zhao Qingshan, his son-in-law Zhou Zhixin was a member of the Zhao family, and he would keep all the family affairs secret from Zhou Zhixin.
Zhao Guohui had just learned the good news of his wife's pregnancy, but then he lost the child. This must have been a huge blow to him. In addition, Xu Liqin's reluctance to follow Zhao Guohui out into the world was also the biggest reason for his bad mood.
Zhou Zhixin was deeply shocked to see Zhao Guohui, the once loving couple, finally break up. Zhao Qingshan had a conversation with Zhou Zhixin a few days ago, and Zhou Zhixin reflected on his actions during his marriage to Zhao Yunxiang, breaking out in a cold sweat.
