My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1179 Fascinated

This was like adding insult to injury for Zhou Xing, who was already at the lowest point in his life. Since then, a deep hatred has developed between the two. However, Zhou Xing did not sink into despair. Instead, he worked harder to recover and secretly investigated the truth behind his illness.

"Your Highness..." The guard's respectful voice came from behind him, interrupting his thoughts. "What's the matter?" Zhou Xing turned around. Although he was not able to move well, his eyes were still as sharp as an eagle. "The latest news is that Miss Ling will attend the palace banquet tomorrow." The guard whispered. Hearing this name, Zhou Xing's mouth slightly raised a barely noticeable smile: "God is really helping me..."

The next evening, the palace was decorated with lights and was bustling with activity. Nobles from all over the world gathered in gorgeous costumes, chatting and laughing. There were many young and beautiful women and handsome men, but the most eye-catching one was the girl in a light blue dress and elegant manners - Ling Xue. Although she deliberately kept a low profile, she still attracted many people's attention.

Just as everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence. A few palace maids came hurriedly and knelt on the ground in the surprised eyes of everyone: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Regent has arrived!" As soon as the voice fell, a man in a wheelchair slowly entered the hall. It was Zhou Xing! At this moment, he was no longer the patient who could only walk with crutches, but appeared in front of everyone in a brand new attitude. His appearance immediately caused a sensation, especially when people noticed his powerful eyes, they were even more shocked.

Ling Xue was obviously caught off guard by such a change. She didn't expect that the other party could recover so well in such a short time. What was even more unexpected to her was that in the following time, Zhou Xing seemed to have completely forgotten all the unpleasant things that had happened. He not only took the initiative to greet her but also invited her to dance with him. Although she was full of doubts and vigilance, she had to reluctantly agree under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

As the music started, the two began to dance to the rhythm. At that moment, it seemed as if the whole world had stopped. All the noise around them was isolated, leaving only the subtle and complex emotional exchange between them. At this moment, it was an unprecedented experience for both Zhou Xing and Ling Xue. The former felt the long-lost warmth and closeness; the latter inadvertently discovered the charm of the other person that she had never noticed. However, the good times did not last long. Just when this beautiful moment was about to reach its climax, a piercing scream broke the tranquility...

It turned out that an assassin took advantage of the chaos to break into the banquet and attempted to assassinate the emperor. The situation was very critical. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhou Xing immediately let go of Ling Xue and rushed towards the murderer. With his extraordinary reaction speed and superb martial arts, he finally succeeded in subduing the criminal and handed him over to the imperial guards who came to protect the emperor. After investigation, it was found that there were a series of conspiracies behind this incident, and all of them pointed to a common goal - that is, a secret organization trying to overthrow the current regime and establish a new order.

Through this incident, Zhou Xing realized that the court had been undercurrents and crises. In order to protect the safety of the country and to find out the truth, he decided to temporarily put aside his personal grudges and unite all forces that could be united to fight the enemy. In the process, he gradually discovered Ling Xue's unknown side: it turned out that she had been using her special identity to secretly collect intelligence to help her father fight against corruption and uphold justice. This discovery led to a subtle change in the relationship between the two, from the initial hostility to mutual understanding and even a tacit understanding.

Zhou Xing sat by the window, holding a book in his hand, but his eyes drifted to the deep night sky outside the window. Since being found by his family and becoming the head of Zhou Group, his life has changed dramatically. However, behind this glamorous life, there are unknown pressures and challenges.

"Perhaps we can look at this problem from a different angle." This sentence suddenly flashed in his mind, reminding him of Ling Xue, the girl who grew up in an orphanage and has now become his right-hand man. She is smart and tenacious, and can always give unique insights at critical moments, helping Zhou Xing overcome difficulties one after another.

At this moment, a quick knock on the door interrupted Zhou Xing's thoughts. Standing outside the door was Ling Xue, who said nervously, "Boss Zhou, there are some problems in the company that need your immediate attention."

Zhou Xing put down the book in his hand, stood up, with a determined light in his eyes: "Let's go, let's go and take a look together."

####A loud thunder broke through the sky, and a storm was coming.

Zhou Group is facing an unprecedented crisis. Competitors maliciously suppress it, internal management is chaotic, and employee morale is low... A series of problems have come one after another, making Zhou Xing and Ling Xue overwhelmed. However, they are not intimidated by the difficulties, but are more closely united to face this storm together.

"If we start from this assumption, what conclusion will we draw?" Zhou Xing raised a question in the conference room, trying to stimulate everyone's thinking. Ling Xue took notes carefully and put forward her own opinions from time to time. After a heated discussion, they finally found the key to solving the problem.

####She smiled slightly, with stars twinkling in her eyes, as if hiding endless secrets.

As time goes by, the tacit understanding between Zhou Xing and Ling Xue becomes deeper and deeper. They are not only good partners at work, but also spiritual support for each other. However, this relationship is strongly opposed by their families. The Ling family believes that Ling Xue is of humble origin and is not worthy of Zhou Xing; while the elders of the Zhou family are worried that she will take away control of the family business. Faced with heavy pressure, the relationship between the two seems to have come to an end.

####The brave boy embarks on a journey to find the lost treasure.

Just when Zhou Xing was about to give up, Ling Xue found him. "We can't just give up!" She said firmly, "We still have a lot to do and a lot of dreams to realize." Zhou Xing looked at the twinkling light in her eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, as long as they worked hand in hand, they would be able to overcome all difficulties.

So, the two decided to leave the family business and start their own company. Although this road is full of unknowns and risks, they believe that as long as they have a dream in their hearts, they can fly higher and farther.

####On a moonlit night, a mysterious shadow quietly passed over the ancient castle.

The establishment of a new company was not smooth sailing. Shortage of funds, loss of talent, fierce market competition... Each problem was like a mountain pressing on their hearts. However, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue did not back down. They used their wisdom and courage to overcome these difficulties step by step. Finally one day, their company ushered in a turning point - the successful implementation of a large project made them famous and attracted the attention of many investors.

####Her eyes sparkled with stars, as if hiding endless secrets.

As the company continues to grow, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue's names also begin to spread in the industry. However, they did not get complacent. Instead, they cherished this hard-won success even more, continued to work hard, and constantly improved their abilities and levels. At the same time, they also actively participated in public welfare undertakings, gave back to the society, and helped those in need. ####A sudden storm dragged the ship into an unknown vortex, and life and death were uncertain.

Just when the company was developing in full swing, a sudden disaster broke the peaceful life. Due to the malicious revenge of competitors, their company suffered a heavy blow, and many important files and data were destroyed. Faced with such a huge blow, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue fell into deep despair.

However, just when they were about to give up, an old friend stepped forward - he was a senior business consultant with rich experience and resources. With his help, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue picked themselves up again and began the difficult work of reconstruction. After months of hard work, they finally recovered and became stronger and more confident than before.

####He pulled from his pocket an ancient coin with puzzling symbols engraved on it.

After the new company got on track, Zhou Xing accidentally found an ancient coin. He picked up this coin near the orphanage when he was a child and always carried it with him as a lucky charm. Now he saw that the symbols on it seemed to contain some special meaning, so he began to study it. After some exploration, Zhou Xing was surprised to find that these symbols were inextricably linked to the mystery of his life! It turned out that he was not a real orphan but a descendant of an ancient family...

####When the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds, a miraculous scene appeared before their eyes.

Zhou Xing was shocked and excited after learning the truth. He did not make the news public immediately but chose to tell Ling Xue first and discuss countermeasures with her. After listening to her, Ling Xue said that she would support him and accompany him through this journey. In the end, the two decided to keep it secret for the time being and wait for the right time to reveal the mystery. During this period, they also continued to focus on the development of the company and constantly create new brilliant achievements.

After going through so many trials and tribulations, Zhou Xing not only found his own direction in life but also gained a precious love. He also understood that true success is not only career achievement but also inner growth and transformation.

However, as the investigation deepened, more clues surfaced, showing that the real mastermind behind all this was most likely a senior figure in the Ling Xue family. Faced with such a difficult choice, Zhou Xing was in a dilemma. On the one hand, as a subject, he had the responsibility to reveal the truth and uphold justice; on the other hand, he couldn't bear to hurt innocent people, especially the father of his beloved. Just as he was hesitating, an unexpected news came and completely changed the course of the war...

According to reliable intelligence, the real mastermind is actually the orphan of an old minister who has died many years ago. This person has been dissatisfied with the rule of the previous emperor and has been holding a grudge. Therefore, he has been planning for many years and has made a detailed layout, waiting for the right time to overthrow the dynasty in one fell swoop. After learning about this, Zhou Xing suddenly realized that all the previous attacks against him were just to divert attention and cover up the real purpose. So he immediately summoned his elite men to form a special action team and vowed to catch this thief and eliminate the harm to the people.

After days of hard work, he finally brought the long-lurking spy to justice on a stormy night. At the same time, he confessed everything to Ling Xue, including his feelings for her and why he chose to keep it to himself. After listening, she not only did not blame him, but gave him full understanding and support, which made Zhou Xing feel very relieved. From then on, the two of them went hand in hand to face future challenges together. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, they could not stop them from moving forward.

"What's going on?" Zhou Xing frowned in thought, but he soon realized that there was no time to lose and he had to adapt to this new identity.

"Master," Ling Xue said softly, with an undisguised panic in her tone, "It's dinner time now, you need to eat."

Zhou Xing smiled bitterly in his heart, but could only accept this absurd reality temporarily. He followed Ling Xue into an ancient castle, with thick bluestone floors under his feet and oil paintings of vampire families from past generations hanging on the walls. When they arrived at the restaurant, the candlelight was dim, and a set of exquisite Western tableware was placed, and in the center was a piece of bright red raw beef.

"Master, please have your meal." Ling Xue bowed slightly, with an imperceptible glimmer of anticipation in her eyes.

Zhou Xing looked at the piece of raw beef, his stomach churning. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down: "Senior Sister Ling Xue, we must adapt to the current situation and find a way to get through this first."

Ling Xue nodded, and she carefully cut the raw beef into small pieces and placed them in front of Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing suppressed his disgust and reluctantly swallowed a few pieces. He secretly thanked his strong self-control that he had cultivated for many years, which allowed him to maintain his sanity.

In the following days, Zhou Xing gradually adapted to the life of a vampire. He began to learn how to use blood servants, how to control the castle, and even how to deal with other vampire forces. However, deep in his heart, he has been looking for a way to break this illusion.

Late one night, Zhou Xing was sitting alone in his study, flipping through an old book that had been covered in dust for a long time. Suddenly, he noticed a line of small words faintly visible at the corner of the page: "Only by focusing on one's own thoughts can one break through the illusion." He suddenly understood the meaning behind it.

At the same time, Ling Xue was also observing all this silently. As Zhou Xing's "maid", she kept an eye on his every move. She found that Zhou Xing gradually regained his calmness and confidence, and she felt relieved in her heart. She knew that they had to work together to find a solution. He never thought that there would be such a day. It was not until he was found by his family that he revealed the secret of his life experience.

One night, Zhou Xing said to Ling Xue: "Senior sister, I found a saying, 'Only when you focus on one thing can you break through the illusion.' Maybe as long as we work together, we can break through this illusion."

As night fell and the neon lights in the city gradually lit up, Zhou Xing stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of Zhou Group, looking at the bustling street scene, but his heart was filled with waves. He was the new head of this huge enterprise, but this identity was both familiar and unfamiliar to him. Zhou Xing grew up in an orphanage since he was a child.
