Before Zhou Xingdou could even step inside, figures hurriedly came out of the hall to greet him, and Yuan Tian's obsequious voice immediately rang out:
"Young Master, it feels like three autumns have passed since we last met. I never imagined that your divine might would be even greater now, with your domineering aura overflowing. I am truly ashamed of myself and wish I could bang my head on the ground!"
Hearing this long-absent flattery, Zhou Xingdou glanced at Yuan Tian indifferently:
"You still know how to come back. I thought you had died in the Great Yan."
He wasn't surprised by Yuan Tian's return, after all, he had no doubt about Yuan Tian's loyalty.
However, it has been some time since the Great Yan Dynasty was destroyed, and Yuan Tian has not returned, which makes Zhou Xingdou somewhat dissatisfied.
Yuan Tian naturally sensed the dissatisfaction in Zhou Xingdou's words, and explained with a smile:
"I, Yuan, still want to serve you, young master, for the rest of my life. How could I possibly die easily in the Great Yan? It's just that those seniors wanted to visit you, young master, and I had to use all my persuasion to get them to go back so as not to disturb you."
The "senior" Yuan Tian mentioned was naturally the Supreme Being who came to destroy the Great Yan.
Zhou Xingdou nodded slightly. It would indeed be troublesome if those people came to visit him, since they were all seniors who had fought for the Zhou family for many years. If they really wanted to visit Zhou Xingdou, he would not be able to refuse.
But he guessed they were all there to persuade him and preach to him, and just thinking about it gave Zhou Xingdou a headache. Yuan Tian's explanation naturally satisfied Zhou Xingdou, so he stopped pursuing the matter.
Princess Iron Fan swayed her slender waist to Zhou Xingdou's side, her voluptuous body pressed close to his, and she whispered in his ear:
“Master, this man has brought back a woman. I have examined her and made sure she has washed up. She is currently waiting in your bedroom.”
Zhou Xingdou's eyes flickered slightly, then he looked at Yuan Tian. Yuan Tian gave Zhou Xingdou a lewd smile that any man would understand, and then said very tactfully:
“Young Master, I have heard that Brother Fahai is building in Yougu. Please allow me to go with him so that we can finish Yougu as soon as possible.”
"Can."
Zhou Xingdou looked at Yuan Tian with great satisfaction. He had to admit that a thoughtful subordinate was more important than cultivation level.
After Yuan Tian left, Zhou Xingdou looked at the lovely Princess Iron Fan in his arms and asked somewhat abruptly:
"Madam, what do you think of Yuan Tian?"
Princess Iron Fan slightly raised an eyebrow and slowly said:
"He is somewhat shrewd and worldly-wise, but his loyalty to his master is undeniable."
But Stephen Chow shook his head:
“He’s not shrewd at all; that’s just his facade. Yuan Tian is wise beyond his years and will never be an ordinary person.”
Princess Iron Fan Zhou Xingdou was somewhat puzzled by his assessment. If this person hadn't been Zhou Xingdou's subordinate, she probably wouldn't have even given him a second glance.
Seeing the puzzled look on Princess Iron Fan's face, he smiled slightly and said meaningfully:
"His loyalty is probably greater than you and I can imagine, and the things he has done and the plans he has made are also greater than you and I can imagine."
After saying this, Zhou Xingdou stopped talking and stepped into the Qingxin Palace with Princess Iron Fan in his arms.
How could he not know what Yuan Tian had done? Li Huayuan, the head of the Li family, had already informed him of everything Yuan Tian had done to force the Li family.
For example, all those who saw the remnant soul jade pendant that day, even members of the Li family, perished; not one escaped.
They directly suppressed the matter of the Supreme Remnant Soul, which should have alarmed countless forces.
The auction house incident, if Yuan Tian hadn't stepped in to cover it, wouldn't have had a major impact on me, but it would have caused some trouble.
After all, if things escalate to the point where the Xuantian Dao Sect gets involved, they might actually trace it back to them.
Furthermore, if everyone in the world knew that Lin Fan possessed the Supreme Remnant Soul Jade Pendant, would Lin Fan still participate in the three-year agreement with Liu Yanran?
Yun Jinzhi will also be affected by Lin Fan. Even if she is protected in the name of her Dao Child, there is a fear that there are desperate people whose lifespan is about to end and who urgently need the remnant soul of the Supreme One to fight for a breakthrough opportunity.
It can be said that Yuan Tian is Lin Fan's benefactor and a good subordinate who supports Zhou Xingdou.
After entering the Qingxin Palace, Zhou Xingdou did not rush into the bedroom, but instead asked Princess Iron Fan to take out the jade pendant that had attracted the ominous black light.
Princess Iron Fan hurriedly took out the jade pendant, but instead of handing it directly to Zhou Xingdou, she held it in her hand and displayed it to him.
As if afraid that Stephen Chow would misunderstand, Princess Iron Fan explained:
"This jade pendant is quite powerful; if its owner takes it, he might escape."
Zhou Xingdou naturally understood this; the power emitted by the jade pendant that day was something even the saintly You Ji could not withstand.
If it weren't for Princess Iron Fan, who was capable of defeating the Great Sage, this remnant soul jade pendant would probably have escaped and been obtained by the Eighteen Sacred Realms associated with the ominous black light.
Looking at the ancient jade pendant, Zhou Xingdou tentatively asked it:
"Senior, please show yourself."
If he hadn't experienced that ominous black light, Zhou Xingdou would have definitely ordered Princess Iron Fan to destroy the remnant soul of the Lin family ancestor without hesitation.
But now Zhou Xingdou feels that perhaps the remnant soul of the Lin family ancestor knows why these people are hunting him down.
Unfortunately, the jade pendant remained completely still for a long time, as if it were an inanimate object.
Princess Iron Fan frowned and guessed:
"It must be too weak. After all, this jade pendant suffered a lot of damage in the struggle between me and those holy realm beings."
But at this moment, Zhou Xingdou took out a golden lotus flower. The lotus flower exuded a strong medicinal power. Even just taking a breath of it could clear one's mind and make one feel that one's soul was being nourished.
This was also the last item in that day's auction, a top-grade holy medicine that could repair the power of the soul, the Three-Life Rejuvenation Lotus.
"Senior, I mean no harm. Consider this Three-Life Rejuvenation Lotus as our greeting gift."
Zhou Xingdou spoke to the ancient jade pendant and placed the Three-Life Rejuvenation Lotus in his hand on the pendant.
As expected, the jade pendant reacted. The entire pendant resembled a pool of water, and the Three-Life Resurrection Lotus slowly sank into it, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
But after accepting the Three-Life Resurrection Lotus, the jade pendant immediately fell silent again, just like before, completely ignoring Zhou Xingdou's calls.
Zhou Xingdou's eyes, which were filled with purple aura and silver-white light, narrowed slightly at this moment, and a chilling, devouring look appeared in his eyes.
The remnant soul's behavior of taking benefits without doing any work aroused his murderous intent.
However, just as Zhou Xingdou was about to have Princess Iron Fan destroy the remnant soul, he heard an old and extremely weak voice in his ear:
“Young friend, my remnant soul is severely damaged. I am very grateful for your Three-Life Rejuvenation Lotus. Once I have digested the Three-Life Rejuvenation Lotus, I will naturally show myself to express my gratitude.”
The remnant soul was naturally willing to speak, and Zhou Xingdou naturally suppressed his thoughts and suppressed them, forcing a smile again as he spoke to the jade pendant:
"Please rest assured and recover, senior. I will have a long talk with you after you have recovered."
This ancestor of the Lin family was probably afraid that, in his current weakened state, if his remnant soul were to appear, he would be able to capture it.
It's estimated that it will only appear and talk to me after it has digested the Three-Life Resurrection Lotus and gained the ability to protect itself.
