Zhou Xingdou was somewhat displeased. Was it really worth being so eager to tell him something just because of a letter?
Moreover, it's just four words without any beginning or end, which is hardly enough to represent anything.
Youji noticed Zhou Xingdou's displeasure and quickly explained:
"This matter was instructed by Lady Iron Fan that if I were to see my master beforehand, I must tell him, because the information in that letter is only known to my master's war slaves, and it must have been written by my master's war slaves, so I must be serious about it."
Only a war slave could understand it, so it must have been written by a war slave.
If that's the case, Zhou Xingdou has to think about it carefully, because the War Slave originated from the system, and this letter is most likely true. Princess Iron Fan is definitely not someone who makes a mountain out of a molehill.
But which war slave issued it?
Zhou Xingdou's war slaves are now few and far between, and Fahai returned to the Zhou family with him, so it couldn't possibly be him.
Xiao Zuanfeng and Qing Yanjing were both extracted during the battle of the Demon Sea, and they have been with him ever since, so it's impossible for them to be.
Do you still have any war slaves left?
Zhou Xingdou opened the list of war slaves and realized that he had indeed forgotten one of them.
...
[War Slave]: Luo Bailian
[Realm Level]: Late-stage Saint
[Identity]: Saint-grade weapon refiner, patriarch of the Luo family.
(Note: This person is a native of the Primordial Realm, so there is no need for a host to extract him; he will automatically find a host.)
...
This native of the Primordial Realm was drawn at the same time as Xiao Zuan Feng Qingyan Jing.
However, he was neither a familiar figure to Zhou Xingdou, nor a charming woman, nor did he possess any particularly powerful cultivation, and there was no need to extract his power, so Zhou Xingdou initially paid him no attention.
Not long after the extraction, he returned to the Tai Shi Dao Domain and then traveled through the Martial Soul World. Luo Bailian did not appear before him, and he gradually forgot about him.
It now appears that this person was the one who sent the message to the Punishment Thunder Palace.
Why not show yourself directly, and instead use this secretive method to send a message?
The loyalty of the extracted war slaves is impeccable; Zhou Xingdou has no doubt about this. Moreover, they would never betray him. Even if they die, they can be resurrected in the system, and no one can threaten them.
Zhou Xingdou felt a headache coming on; he was overwhelmed by a bunch of things in the Tai Shi Dao Domain.
Now that he has returned to the Primordial Dao Domain, he thought things would finally calm down, but there are still a bunch of mysteries waiting to be solved, which makes him feel mentally exhausted.
At this moment, Zhou Xingdou looked into You Ji's captivatingly alluring eyes, exhaled a long breath, and asked:
"Anything else?"
Youji shook her head:
"That's about it..."
However, as she spoke, Youji seemed to suddenly remember something:
"By the way, when I went to the Heavenly Palace last time, I felt that there was a lot of luck gathering around the Empress of Great Yan. I wonder if I was mistaken, or if her luck is just because she followed you, Master."
"Oh? The gathering of fortune?"
Zhou Xingdou's eyes flashed. He knew that You Ji had the ability to recognize talent, so she couldn't possibly be mistaken.
The idea that following Stephen Chow would bring good fortune is utter nonsense. Following Stephen Chow would only result in having one's fortune plundered, so how could one possibly have good fortune?
It had already been confirmed that Empress Yue Shuhua of the Great Yan Dynasty could not possibly be a person of destiny, but now Youji saw that destiny was gathering on her body, which was definitely not an ordinary matter.
As for the reason, Zhou Xingdou could not easily draw a conclusion before he saw Yue Shuhua in person and before the system was successfully repaired.
However, he had already planned to return to the Punishment Thunder Palace, so this incident didn't really disrupt his plans; it was just a minor hiccup.
Zhou Xingdou's gaze once again fell on You Ji's purple gauze dress.
It's been a month since we last met, and I don't know if it's because You Ji's strength has improved or because the Myriad Transformations Slave Seal is nourishing her, but You Ji's figure is even more well-proportioned.
Zhou Xingdou reached out and pinched You Ji's alluring cheek, slowly turning it around. He had to admit that compared to the disastrous decision of enslaving the entire Liu family, enslaving You Ji was an extremely correct choice.
Whether considering her role in dealing with Lin Fanzhong or her own beauty and status, it was all well worth it.
Moreover, it is a top-grade cauldron, and its effect of enhancing comprehension is extremely valuable. It can even be said that it is the most valuable person that I have subdued with the Myriad Transformations Slave Seal, apart from the War Slave.
Even Lin Hua, the supreme soul body, is not as valuable as You Ji.
Zhou Xingdou also dispelled his irritation, a smile playing on his lips as he stared intently at You Ji's face and asked:
"Elder You, with your looks and such high value, shouldn't I be gentler with you?"
With tears welling in her eyes, Youji said dreamily:
"No need. Master can treat me however he wants. I belong to Master, and Master can do whatever he likes with me."
Seeing this, Zhou Xingdou also showed a bitter smile. Originally, his ruthlessness towards You Ji was nothing more than the hatred from his previous life.
But in this life, Zhou Xingdou could no longer hate You Ji. That hatred had long since turned to dust with Lin Fan's death.
He even felt sorry for You Ji now, and thought he shouldn't treat her like this. She hadn't done anything wrong in this life, and she couldn't escape his grasp anyway.
Thinking of how Zhou Xingdou gently leaned down and kissed Youji's forehead, Youji, who was in a state of infatuation and fervor, was slightly taken aback.
Zhou Xingdou released his grip on her chin, gently lifted her kneeling body in his arms, and carried her towards Youji's boudoir.
Zhou Xingdou looked at You Ji, who was still stunned and hadn't recovered from the shock, and smiled gently:
"I should indeed be gentler with you, after all, you're my woman too. Right?"
You Ji's alluring eyes glistened with tears as she nodded vigorously, her face beaming with the joy of overcoming hardship. Zhou Xingdou carried her into the room...
Zhou Xingdou didn't linger for long; in just an hour, he emerged from Youji's building.
After all, he still had many matters to attend to, and besides, he was now at the peak of the Saint realm.
Although You Ji has advanced to the Supreme Saint level, she has only recently crossed the Supreme Saint level. How can her physique compare to Zhou Xingdou, who has cultivated the Supreme Dao Foundation and perfected the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Giant Elephant?
Zhou Xingdou's departure now is actually for You Ji's sake.
Zhou Xingdou naturally hadn't forgotten about Yun Jinzhi, but he didn't plan to confront her face to face, because he hadn't noticed anything unusual about her back then, and he might not be able to notice it now either.
Moreover, if Stephen Chow's guess is wrong, wouldn't he be hurting the beauty's heart for no reason?
Moreover, Zhou Xingdou is now somewhat wary of Yun Jinzhi and does not plan to see her for the time being. He will investigate first before making any further plans.
If we were to start the investigation from where, it would naturally begin with Lin Fan's entry into the sect, from the elders who allowed Lin Fan to pass the assessment, and even from everyone involved in the assessment.
Zhou Xingdou naturally couldn't investigate this matter himself, since he wasn't familiar with the underlying structure of the Xuantian Dao Sect, and it would be too conspicuous for a Dao disciple like him to inquire from the outer sect, inevitably leading to speculation.
Therefore, Zhou Xingdou entrusted this matter to You Ji. After all, You Ji had no relation to him on the surface, and as an elder of Jiu Xuan Peak, it was not unusual for her to inquire about the disciples' assessments back then.
