Qin Ming's lips twitched upon hearing this. This brat really doesn't know the value of money when he's not in charge. Although the Zhou family's resources come like a whirlwind, they can't be wasted like this.
But now Qin Ming knew that Zhou Xingdou was showing favor and establishing his authority. He simply stood to the side of Zhou Xingdou, coldly looking at the remaining five people without saying a word.
However, he had already made up his mind that if anyone really left the Zhou family, Qin Ming would not be lenient and would be even more ruthless than Zhou Xingdou.
Old Chen, who knew Zhou Xingdou, had just recovered from the deaths of Yu Shexiang and Tie Qianduan.
Although not all of their seven servants were close friends, they had all served the Zhou family for many years and were quite familiar with each other.
Now that Yu Shexiang and Tie Qianduan have died suddenly, it would be impossible not to feel something in one's heart.
Just then, a faint, deep, hoarse voice rang out:
"Everyone in Xingyou respects the young master as they would a patriarch, and has absolutely no disloyal intentions!"
It was only when this deep, hoarse voice appeared that Zhou Xingdou noticed the least noticeable last of the seven servants.
This person had an ancient and mysterious face, and his figure was shrouded in a long black robe, making it impossible to see his face or figure. He didn't even have a trace of aura.
He stood there, yet seemed not to exist there, devoid of any life force, as if he did not exist in the world, or as if he were air.
Master!
Looking at the dark figure, Zhou Xingdou couldn't help but admire it in his heart.
Because he did know there were seven people, but he had been ignoring this person until he revealed himself, which allowed him to see him.
At that moment, Qin Ming's voice transmission reached Zhou Xingdou's ears:
"You can rest assured about this person. Xingyou is the secret guard created for you by your parents and Grandpa Zhou."
He is the commander of Xingyou. If I hadn't appeared, he probably would have directly killed Yu Shexiang and Tie Qianduan.
Upon hearing Qin Ming's words, Zhou Xingdou then noticed that the position where Commander Xingyou was kneeling was right behind Yu Shexiang and Tie Qianduan. If he were to attack, he could strike directly at the back of Yu Shexiang and Tie Qianduan.
The appearance and words of Commander Xingyou seemed to make the remaining five people very wary.
Whether it was the farmer Old Chen, the scholar, the hunter, or the old man in white robes, they all kowtowed at this moment:
"We have absolutely no disloyalty to our young master or the Zhou family, and we have no intention of backing out!"
Zhou Xingdou couldn't care less about the Star Nether Guards' problem at the moment. He slightly raised his head, his silver eyes exuding incomparable coldness and majesty:
"Remember your words. If you do something like this again, Yu Shexiang and Tie Qianduan will suffer the same fate."
Zhou Xingdou sat upright on his throne. Although he did not have the same awe-inspiring presence as Zhou Wuji, which shook the heavens, he still instilled fear in these supreme experts.
Even Qin Ming looked at Zhou Xingdou with surprise, a hint of relief rising in his eyes that was hard to detect. In his eyes, Zhou Xingdou now looked like a true saint!
Seeing that the servants made no further move, Zhou Xingdou ceased his display of power, his tone indifferent yet resounding like the might of heaven:
"Please introduce yourself, your real name, and your job responsibilities."
Old Chen naturally took the lead and said:
"Reporting to the young master, my real name is Chen Nong. My duty is to guard the Zhou family's divine plants and precious herbs. I am skilled at nurturing the growth of spiritual objects and refining elixirs."
Qin Ming also added telepathically to Zhou Xingdou from the side:
"Chen Nong was once known as the Nine-Turn Medicine Master in the outer realms. He had mastered the Azure Wood Great Medicine Scripture and could refine supreme medicines."
The elderly man dressed as a Confucian scholar also followed suit and spoke up:
"Reporting to the young master, my real name is Wei Luosheng. My duty is to manage the treasure vault and annotate and classify the techniques and magical arts within it."
Qin Ming continued to add to Zhou Xingdou's explanation:
"Master Wei is not from the Primordial Realm. He founded the Weizi Academy in the outer realm and captured demons to teach and educate them."
But in the end, instead of reforming the demons, he was attacked by a demon king and rescued by the Second Master, after which he stayed with the Zhou family.
After listening to Qin Ming's telepathic message, Zhou Xingdou couldn't help but glance at Wei Luosheng a few more times. He had to admit that this person was indeed a talent; the idea of teaching demons was not something an ordinary person could come up with.
This also dispelled his dissatisfaction with Wei Luosheng's previous statement that he disregarded etiquette and law. After all, just having this idea and daring to put it into practice, this person could indeed be called a great Confucian scholar.
The somewhat taciturn hunter slowly spoke:
"His real name is Tianyin, and his duty is to eliminate any strange beasts and people that enter the Zhou family."
Qin Ming added:
"Tianyin is the strongest of the five, but he is a bit dull and not good with words. However, he is also the most dutiful servant."
Zhou Xingdou also looked at Tianyin. Even without Qin Ming's explanation, one could see Tianyin's strength just from their roles.
Even those who accidentally stumbled into the Zhou family were by no means weak, and Tianyin's duty was to eliminate these creatures, so their strength goes without saying.
However, judging from his somewhat dazed expression, he must be a martial arts fanatic or a Taoist fanatic.
Only then did the white-robed elder speak:
"His real name is Yuchi Li, and his duties include maintaining the Zhou family's formation and creating formation plates."
Qin Ming continued:
“Yu Chi Li, the Array Master, is nothing special except for his array techniques. He is relatively ordinary and usually just maintains small arrays.”
Zhou Xingdou nodded slightly, but a Array Master was not as worthless as Qin Ming had made him out to be.
In other words, the Zhou family's protective formation is too powerful and seems to need no maintenance, so it's not really necessary to use Yuchi Li, the formation master.
Otherwise, his role might be much greater than that of the other four.
A series of deep voices also emanated from the ethereal figure of the Star Nether Commander:
"No real name, Commander of Star Nether, codename Nether, currently without any duties. Skilled in assassination, intelligence gathering, and protection."
Qin Ming didn't add anything this time, since he had already said it once, and Zhou Xingdou wouldn't forget it so quickly.
Zhou Xingdou has nothing to explain to everyone now. If Zhou Wuji hadn't gathered these servants together today, he wouldn't have bothered to establish his authority on this particular day.
However, it did give him some insight into the role of the Zhou family's servants. As for their strength, Zhou Xingdou could only say that none of them were below the Supreme Realm.
To be honest, the fact that even their servants possessed the cultivation level of the Supreme Realm makes the Zhou family's power and mystery quite terrifying.
After all, in the Primordial Realm, a Saint Realm expert in other forces would at least be a revered figure.
Even if one wants to win over a supreme being, or even an immortal force, it is difficult to win their heart. Even if one does win them over, they will be treated with the utmost respect, like an ancestor.
Unlike the Zhou family, who were called servants, Zhou Xingdou used the power of a grand formation to kill two of their esteemed members.
"Commander Xingyou, please stay. Everyone else, you may leave."
Meanwhile, Zhou Wuji, who was in the universe within the Ziwei Taihuang Tower in the ancestral land, had a smile on his lips, and the aged appearance that Zhou Xingdou had noticed had long since disappeared.
Within its towering figure surged boundless power, destroying countless galaxies with each breath and creating billions of new stars.
"He has made some progress, but unfortunately he is still too kind."
As Zhou Wuji spoke, he looked upwards, his eyes, which were filled with Dao runes, darkening slightly:
"I hope it's not too late."
