Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 78 The heir, humiliation

Keep Zhou Chun in the family to assist him in investigating possible traitors in the family.

Zhou Daoyi obviously had special intentions.

At least in Zhou Daoquan's view, he was deliberately cultivating Zhou Chun's ability to manage his tribe.

Therefore, after Zhou Chun and Zhou Jiahe left, and when he was the only two left in the hall, he also looked at Zhou Daoyi unabashedly and asked, "Patriarch, you let that boy Zhengchun stay in the clan to investigate the traitor. Train him as your heir?"

Facing his straightforward inquiry, Zhou Daoyi nodded without any hesitation and said, "I do have some plans in this regard."

"But wouldn't it be too early? I'm not saying that kid can't do it, but he's still too young, and his cultivation level is also much worse. Are you sure it's good for him to push him out now? "

Zhou Daoquan looked directly at Zhou Daoyi, and directly expressed his worries.

However, after hearing his words, Zhou Daoyi shook his head slightly and said: "It's good to have it early, let him learn this early, and we can find out early whether he is the material or not."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hands and said, "I've got to worry about this matter, so don't worry."

Seeing this, Zhou Daoquan couldn't say anything more, so he nodded and said: "Well, since you know what's in your heart, then I won't say more."

Because the news was strictly kept secret, the news of Zhou Jiahui's disappearance did not cause any disturbance in the Zhou family in Jiufengling.

Her Taoist companion Shen Xin and her sons and daughters had been comforted and warned by Zhou Daoyi. Although they were extremely sad, in order to find the murderer, they could only bear their grief outside and cry silently at home.

And Zhou Chun, as Zhou Daoyi's designated assistant to investigate the traitors, quickly obtained from Zhou Daoyi the records of the core members of the Zhou family and some elite members of the Zhou family going out for the past three months, as well as the information of their immediate relatives within three generations.

Then, comparing the information in hand, they began to analyze and investigate one by one.

In fact, in Zhou Chun's heart, he also felt that Zhou Jiahui's disappearance was probably related to the Spirit Beast Villa, and most likely it was a traitor in the family.

It has only been a few years since the Zhou family migrated to Yasukuni, and the real enemy is only the disbanded "Qiyun League" and some casual cultivators.

Leaving aside those casual cultivators who hate the Zhou family, who is still thinking about taking revenge on the Zhou family.

It was not easy for them to get the information that Zhou Jiahui had left the family.

Even if he got the information, it would not be easy to kill Zhou Jiahui silently.

And if those casual cultivators really wanted to take revenge on the Zhou family, there was no need for them to choose the Spirit Beast Villa as the target of provocation, because no matter how angry the Zhou family was, they would not take the initiative to take revenge on the Spirit Beast Villa with the Jindan stage monks in charge.

So Zhou Chun believed from the beginning to the end that Zhou Jiahui's disappearance was caused by the Spirit Beast Villa.

Only the Spirit Beast Villa, a force that is inextricably linked to the Zhou family, can easily know the existence of Lianxin Mole, and it is relatively easy to bribe a certain Zhou family monk to provide information for him.

So when Zhou Chun was investigating at this time, whether the clansmen on the list had elder relatives in the Spirit Beast Villa was his key investigation object.

Not only did he investigate and analyze based on written information, but he also went to visit some clansmen openly and unannounced to investigate whether their cultivation had increased greatly or their money suddenly became rich after a certain trip.

After more than ten days of investigation in the family, Zhou Chun had contacted most of the clansmen on the list, and only a few clansmen with special identities were deliberately left at the end by him.

At this time, he looked at the names of the last few clansmen on the list, and his eyes finally fell on the name of a certain monk of the same generation, and that person was Zhou Zhengkang, the foundation seed of the Zhou family.

Zhou Zhengkang appeared on the list because he also applied to go out on the day Zhou Jiahui left the family.

Although his status is unusual, the patriarch Zhou Daoyi has always acted impartially and strictly, so naturally he would not deliberately erase the information about him going out.

Looking at Zhou Zhengkang's name on the list at this time, Zhou Chun couldn't help but whispered to himself: "This guy is very lucky. After being troubled by Aunt Nineteen, I even forgot to report Uncle Sixteen's complaint against him." I brought the book, I hope he can be a little more interesting this time!"

It's just that Zhou Zhengkang really knows how to be funny?
Zhou Chun didn't believe it in his heart.

So when he went to the door, he was well prepared in his heart.

As the foundation-building seed of the Zhou family, Zhou Zhengkang's residence is at the foot of Pagoda Peak, and he usually goes to the top of Pagoda Peak for cultivation.

When Zhou Chun came outside the courtyard where he lived and activated the formation outside the courtyard, when he saw that the person who came to the door was Zhou Chun, an unnatural look flashed in his eyes.

These days, Zhou Chun is investigating the affairs of the tribe everywhere, and he has heard about it.

So when he saw Zhou Chun coming to his door at this time, he was a little surprised and angry because he had a ghost in his heart.

Therefore, in terms of tone, it is naturally very impolite.

"What are you doing here? Is this where you can come?"

His nostrils were almost pointing up to the sky, and he looked at Zhou Chun with contempt in his eyes, as if a master was looking at a slave.

Even before Zhou Chun came, he had already made enough psychological preparations, so he was also very angry at this time.

His face turned cold at the moment, and he looked at Zhou Zhengkang coldly and said, "I was ordered by the patriarch to come here to inquire and investigate the matter of Seventh Brother you left the family 22 days ago, and please cooperate with Seventh Brother!"

I don't want Zhou Zhengkang to be even more frightened and angry after hearing his words.

Immediately, he stretched out his finger and shouted angrily at Zhou Chun, "What do you mean? Do you want to use the patriarch to suppress me? Don't you see who I am? Don't you see who I am?"

But with his previous experience, Zhou Chun didn't feel strange about his words at this time.

He just looked at him coldly and said: "My meaning is very simple, please cooperate with me to complete the task assigned by the patriarch!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhou Zhengkang to respond, he continued, "If you still want to mess around, Brother Seven, I can only think that Brother Seven has a ghost in your heart, so you resist the investigation and report the matter to the patriarch truthfully!"

"you……"

Zhou Zhengkang glared at Zhou Chun, speechless.

He really has a ghost in his heart, which is why he is so resistant to Zhou Chun's investigation of himself, and why he wants to use vicious words to force Zhou Chun to "know" and leave.

But he is not completely brainless, of course he understands whether it can be done or not.

Now that Zhou Chun has put his words here, if he acts recklessly again, the person who investigates him is likely to be the patriarch Zhou Daoyi.

Compared to Zhou Chun, he was obviously much more in awe of Zhou Daoyi.

"Fuck you, brat! I'll remember this today!"

I saw him pointing at Zhou Chun with a threatening expression, and then waved his hand impatiently and said, "What do you want to ask? If you fart, let it go!"

But he didn't want him to step back, Zhou Chun immediately had to push forward.

Zhou Chun's eyes flashed coldly, and he looked at him coldly and said, "Now I suspect that you have betrayed the family and colluded with outsiders to sell family secrets, and that there may be stolen goods from outsiders hidden in your residence, so we need to conduct a thorough investigation of your residence." search!"

This was of course Zhou Chun's intentional excuse for revenge on Zhou Zhengkang.

Even Zhou Zhengkang himself could hear that he was looking for faults.

So he immediately shouted angrily: "Fuck your mother! What evidence do you have that I betrayed the family? Who gave you the power to slander me like this? Slander the foundation-building seeds of a family!"

"Is it slander, you can find out if you go in and search it, or is it because you have ghosts in your heart that you resist my search?"

Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Zhengkang coldly and said without changing his face, then turned and left.

And while he was walking, he said without turning his head: "That's fine, let's go up the mountain together to meet the patriarch, tell the patriarch what happened before, and ask the patriarch to make a judgment!"

In the end, he didn't take a few steps, Zhou Zhengkang shouted with a change of expression: "Slow down!"

"What? Have you changed your mind?"

Zhou Chun paused, turned around and looked at Zhou Zhengchun with a half-smile and asked.

He knew from Zhou Zhengkang's compromising attitude just now that he was quite in awe of the patriarch Zhou Daoyi.

And as long as there is one compromise, there will be countless times.

That's why he used this method to humiliate the other party, in order to avenge the other party's repeated insults to him.

Now Zhou Chun basically knows the patriarch Zhou Daoyi's attitude towards him, and he knows in his heart that he is also a person who has a backer now.

Therefore, he was not very afraid of Zhou Zhengkang.

The main reason is that his character is not the kind of ignorant doormat character.

His forbearance will only appear when there is absolutely no chance of winning.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to keep silent while being pointed at and scolded.

As a cultivator, you must have backbone!
Immortal cultivators who have been forbearing for a long time have lost all energy, how can they have the courage to attack when they face those realms where they may die if they fail in the future!

Facing Zhou Chun's ridicule at this time, Zhou Zhengkang couldn't help but his face darkened, and his teeth were clenched.

But he had already suffered from the previous losses, and at this time he forcibly held back the anger in his heart, and did not continue to quarrel with Zhou Chun.

He just gritted his teeth and looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Okay, I'll let you go in and search, and see what you can find!!"

After speaking, he opened the courtyard door and strode in.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun was not polite to him, and really followed strides into the yard, and then searched room by room.

Compared with Zhou Chun's somewhat simple courtyard, Zhou Zhengkang's residence is undoubtedly much more luxurious. All the appliances in it are made of high-quality materials, and a kind of insect-repelling and calming effect is burned in the bedroom all year round. Spiritual incense.

After searching every room like this, Zhou Chun walked into the study under Zhou Zhengkang's murderous gaze, then sat down on the chair next to the desk, took out a pen and paper and put it on the desk .

He looked at him as if he was interrogating a prisoner and said, "Okay, now Brother Qi, you can tell me the truthful and detailed story of your recent trip away from the family!"

Zhou Zhengkang's face twitched suddenly when he heard this, and he couldn't help glaring at him and said: "Boy, you are more arrogant than me, I will remember this matter today!"

Zhou Chun heard the words, but said lightly: "I ask you to answer, I will also write this sentence!"

These words made Zhou Zhengkang very angry again.

But the compromise has come to this point, if he turns his face completely now, wouldn't he have suffered all the anger in front of him in vain?

So he could only pinch his nose to hold back his anger, and spoke out one by one a set of seamless sayings that he had made up a long time ago.

However, Zhou Chun deliberately chewed on the words and picked thorns everywhere. He would repeat many places and let him say it again, and he had to find out every word wrong and let him explain it clearly.

But he was so angry that he almost didn't slap the table and hit someone!

"Well, it's almost there, except..."

While Zhou Chun was writing something on the paper, he reached out to the teapot next to him, but he was thirsty and ready to pour tea.

As a result, he opened the teapot, only to find that there was no tea in it, it was empty.

"This teapot of yours clearly smells like tea, but it doesn't have any water. Did you hide the good tea on purpose? You can't do that. The dignified Zhou family's foundation-building seeds have to be so petty!"

Shaking his head, Zhou Chun put the teapot back while teasing Zhou Zhengkang.

But Zhou Zhengkang didn't realize that after seeing him put the teapot back, his originally tense face relaxed a lot, and it was rare that he didn't express any kind of ridicule to him.

At this time, Zhou Zhengkang was both grateful and regretful.

Fortunately, Zhou Chun didn't smell the tea fragrance as "honey flower tea", and regretted that he forgot about it, and didn't put away the teapot that had made "honey flower tea" before Zhou Chun entered the residence.

Fortunately, Zhou Chun had already finished asking questions at this time, and seeing that he had nothing to say, he seemed to feel bored, so he got up and said goodbye to him and left.

After witnessing Zhou Chunyuan go in this way, Zhou Zhengkang let out a hysterical roar with a gloomy face.

"Ahh! Damn you bastard, I will kill you, before I leave Zhou's house, I will cut your corpse into thousands of pieces and feed it to the wolves!!"

How had he ever been so angry like today!

As long as he could remember, he had never been treated like this by a peer, never!

If it wasn't for his guilty conscience, and the day when Zhou's subdivision of Jidan was approaching, he didn't want to let the patriarch Zhou Daoyi feel disgusted and suspicious of him at this juncture, he would never have endured this birdishness!

So now, he has only one thought in his heart, that is, after he succeeds in building his foundation, he will immediately tear Zhou Chun into thousands of pieces, and he can't wait for a moment!

Besides Zhou Chun, he remembered the scene of Zhou Zhengkang being toyed with by him today, and immediately walked with a smile on his face, in a very good mood.

After he left Zhou Zhengkang's residence, of course he did not truthfully hand over the interrogation record in Zhou Zhengkang's residence to Zhou Daoyi.

If this is handed in, even if he is justified, he will definitely be severely reprimanded by Zhou Daoyi.

So he first copied a normal investigation report based on the main points, and then kept the original as evidence, in case things were revealed in the future, and could be used to get rid of responsibility.

Although he actually concluded in his heart that Zhou Zhengkang had no guts or the face to leak these things today.
