But there was no sense of satisfaction after drinking on his face, but instead a hint of bitterness.
Recalling the first time he came to the Chen family, he was filled with curiosity and arrogance. The rice wine at that time tasted novel, but it could only be considered average.
When he came for the second time, he was already the head of the Zhou family. At that time, he was full of energy and pride, and even the rice wine in the cup tasted much better.
But when he came for the third time, he was in such a mess that even the rice wine with a hint of sweetness became bitter in his mouth.
Maybe it’s not the wine that’s bitter, but his heart!
Zhou Huaian laughed a few times, as if he was mocking these different encounters.
On the side, seeing that Zhou Huaian had stopped drinking, Chen Xingzhen finally couldn't help but ask:
"May I ask Chief Zhou, why do you come to our tribe so late at night?"
Facing Chen Xingzhen's question, Zhou Huaian just smiled and replied:
"No need to call me Clan Leader Zhou anymore. The Zhou family has been destroyed, and there will be no Clan Leader Zhou anymore."
Hearing these jokes, Chen Xingzhen and the others' faces changed slightly, with a look of disbelief on their faces.
Chen Xingzhen said hurriedly:
"Is Patriarch Zhou joking?"
Zhou Huaian said calmly:
"Patriarch Chen, do you think I'm joking? If the family was still there, why would I come here alone?"
There was no emotion in Zhou Huaian's calm words, but his eyes were filled with endless pain. Looking at Zhou Huaian's current miserable appearance, it seemed that he was not joking.
But even so, Chen Xingzhen still couldn't calm down, and said again:
"But with the Zhou family's strength, how could it be possible..."
Before Chen Xingzhen finished speaking, Zhou Huaian spoke:
"Nothing is impossible. My Zhou family is indeed the sole power in Yunmeng City, with few rivals. We have more than a dozen affiliated families. But even if there are three Qi Controlling Realm warriors in the family, what does it matter? We are still just a medium-sized family!"
"Even the Zhou family is just a middle-class family?"
On the side, Chen Qingyu couldn't help but ask. After all, he was the only member of the family who had personally witnessed the glory of the Zhou family, and naturally knew the scale and strength of the Zhou family.
"Haha, of course."
"The world is so big, and families are widely distributed, but most families have only a few dozen people, and there are no Xiantian realm warriors in the family. Such families can only be regarded as second-rate families!"
"If there is a Xiantian realm warrior in the clan, it can be called a small clan! As long as we don't think about further development, it can last for decades."
"Above the small families are the medium families! There is a clear boundary between the two. To become a medium family, the family must have at least one or even several third-level warriors in the Qi Control Realm, and thousands of members!"
"Above the middle-class families, there are upper-class families. Upper-class families need at least one or even several warriors at the upper two levels of the Qi Control Realm, and tens of thousands of members!"
"Above the upper-class families are the top families. Such families need at least one or even several warriors who have reached the realm of martial arts true pill or true fire refining spirit. The number of members is tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands."
"Above the top families, there are the aristocratic families! A family lasts for a hundred years, and an aristocratic family lasts for a thousand years! Aristocratic families no longer care about the number of people, but they must have at least one warrior in the Tiandi Tongxuan realm! Only warriors in the Tiandi Tongxuan realm can live for a thousand years and maintain the glory of the aristocratic family!"
"The world is so big, what does Yunmeng City count for?"
Zhou Huaian said self-deprecatingly.
After hearing this, Chen Tianjing and the others also showed confusion on their faces. This information had a great impact on them.
According to Zhou Huaian, the family could only be considered a second-rate family before, and now it can barely be considered a small family.
However, the highest level person in the clan is only in the middle stage of the innate realm, and there are no more than 200 clan members in total. It is still a long way to go before becoming a medium-sized family, not to mention that there are multiple boundaries above the medium-sized family.
If the family continues to develop, it is unknown when it will become a superior family.
Chen Xingzhen sighed in his heart after hearing this. In fact, after Zhou Huaian came last time, his father had already supplemented him with a lot of knowledge that he had not known before, but he did not tell the tribe members about it because he was worried that the tribe members would lose the courage to fight because the outside world was vast and the enemies were powerful.
But this matter must be told to the tribesmen eventually. If they don’t know the difficulties and dangers ahead, how can they burst out the fighting spirit!
At this moment, Chen Xingzhen was thinking more. The family that could easily destroy the Zhou family would definitely not be a middle-class family like the Zhou family. It must be at least a top-class family with several warriors in the upper two levels of the Qi Control Realm.
What puzzled him was why the Zhou family of Yunmeng City had offended a superior family and even suffered the disaster of genocide.
Without waiting for Chen Xingzhen to ask, Chen Tianjing on the side couldn't help but ask.
Zhou Huaian looked at him with a long gaze and sighed:
"If you don't want your family to follow in the footsteps of my Zhou family, it's better not to know."
After hearing this, everyone's expressions changed and they stopped asking questions.
Zhou Huaian picked up the wine jug and took a few gulps again.
“Cough cough cough!”
But before he could drink to his heart's content, he coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.
"Qingyu, go and get some of the best healing herbs from our clan."
"No, thank you for your kindness, Chief Chen. I appreciate it, but there is no medicine to cure this injury."
"Also, I actually brought something with me from my family this time. Patriarch Chen might as well take a look."
After Zhou Huaian finished speaking, he took out a rectangular wooden box from his arms.
On the side, Chen Qingyu and the other two looked alert.
Although the three of them sympathized with the Zhou family, Zhou Huaian was, after all, a martial artist at the Yuqi realm. A lean camel is still bigger than a horse, so the family must be on guard.
But Zhou Huaian didn't care and just threw the thing in his hand away.
Chen Xingzhen took the wooden box without fear and slowly opened it.
After the wooden box was opened, there was a strange flower inside, showing purple, blue and black. The flower looked strange, and it emitted a wisp of white gas like water mist.
Looking at the contents of the wooden box, Chen Xingzhen had a hint of doubt on his face:
"This is……"
"Yes, this is the Fengxian Flower of my Zhou family. The Fengxian Flower of my Zhou family is divided into three colors. The first color is low-quality, the second color is medium-quality, and the third color is high-quality. The Fengxian Flowers sold by the family before were all low-quality."
"Last time, I promised Patriarch Chen that I would bring a Fengxian flower, and now I am not breaking my promise."
After Zhou Huaian said this, he coughed several times, and blood instantly dyed his chest red, but his eyes were looking at Chen Xingzhen in front of him.
Chen Xingzhen took the wooden box in his hand, but did not accept it immediately. After hesitating for a while, he said:
"The family has received a lot of help from Patriarch Zhou. If it is within the family's ability, Patriarch Zhou can come."
