Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 79 Important clues, lock on the target 【Fourth update for subscription】

"Report to Patriarch, this junior has completed your explanation. We have made open and unannounced visits to all the clansmen on the list, and made relevant records."

In the "Zhongping Hall", after Zhou Chun investigated the last few people on his list, he came here with all the investigation reports and reported to the patriarch Zhou Daoyi.

After listening to his words, Zhou Daoyi immediately looked at him and asked, "Then did you find out anything? Is there anyone you suspect?"

"The junior is incompetent, and I don't feel that there is any problem with any clansman's answer."

Zhou Chun lowered his head deeply, and said his own answer.

What he said was the truth, but also helpless words.

Because the matter of Zhou Jiahui's disappearance cannot be made public, the reason for his investigation cannot be used, so many things cannot be released.

It is naturally difficult to give him too much reference for the situation investigated in this way.

Under such circumstances, he naturally did not dare to easily set any clansman as a target of suspicion, so as not to cause any oolong incident.

"It seems that you still have a lot of scruples in your heart."

Zhou Daoyi looked at Zhou Chun with narrowed eyes, and expressed his thoughts in one breath.

Then he nodded slightly and said: "That's right, it's normal for you to have scruples when you first come into contact with this kind of thing, but you can't blame it."

Zhou Chun didn't say a word, almost acquiescing to this point.

So Zhou Daoyi quickly said: "Then you leave the records of the investigation, and I will take the time to check it carefully."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhou Chun with an encouraging look and said, "Don't put too much pressure on you. It may be a good thing that nothing has been found out, and it may just mean that there are no traitors in the clan."

"Yes, this junior remembers."

Zhou Chun nodded respectfully.

Seeing this, Zhou Daoyi waved his hands and said: "Then go back and rest for a day or two, and I will arrange some things for you later."

"Yes, this junior will leave."

Zhou Chun responded, and then left the "Zhongping Hall" and left the Pagoda Peak.

But after returning to his residence, Zhou Chun did not rest, but lay on the bed, thinking over and over again about the survey questions and answers of the tribesmen these days.

In fact, he really wanted to find out the truth.

Not only to avenge the nineteenth aunt Zhou Jiahui, but also to keep the secret of "Touch of Despair".

Although it seems that he has no chance to return to Fangshi in a short time.

But "Touch of Despair", which is now a popular poison, is undoubtedly one of his "political achievements".

If Lingshouzhai could rely on this kind of poison, it would have stabilized its market position and its performance would have skyrocketed.

Then he, Zhou Chun, who single-handedly promoted this matter, will definitely be favored and valued by the majority of Zhou family monks and senior Zhou family members who have benefited from it.

So at present Zhou Chun is definitely the person who least wants "Touch of Despair" to be imitated.

But the truth is not so easy to find.

Zhou Chun lay on the bed and thought for a long time, his head was a little dizzy, but he still didn't have much idea.

At this time, he felt that the formation outside the courtyard was touched.

"So it's Brother Yong. What's the matter with you here?"

Outside the courtyard gate, after Zhou Chun saw clearly the appearance of the person who knocked on the door, he immediately squeezed out a smile, and greeted the visitor with a smile.

But Zhou Zhengyong frowned slightly when he saw the forced smile on his face, and couldn't help looking at him worriedly and asked: "Thirteenth brother, you seem a little tired. What's the matter? I heard that you seem to be very busy recently?"

"It's nothing, Brother Yong, don't think too much."

Zhou Chun smiled, but it was not good to talk to Zhou Zhengyong, so he could only change the subject and said, "Brother Yong, let's talk about your coming to find my younger brother."

Seeing this, Zhou Zhengyong seemed to have seen something, and didn't ask any more questions.

He just nodded his head according to his words and said: "It's nothing serious to come to find you, Thirteenth Brother, but after learning that your sister-in-law is happy, my father-in-law and mother-in-law came to visit her specially."

Speaking of this, he looked at Zhou Chun with a tinge of heartache and said: "Then I specially brought some good things here to entertain these two elders, so I would like to invite you, Thirteenth Brother, to go over and try something new."

After hearing what he said, Zhou Chun was also slightly surprised, and then looked at him with a smile from the heart and said, "Is sister-in-law actually happy? Then I really want to congratulate Brother Yong!"

"Hey hey, that's not right, what we pay attention to is efficiency!"

Zhou Zhengyong smiled triumphantly, his face was full of joy.

At this time, Zhou Chun was really happy for him, and immediately nodded and said: "In that case, Brother Yong, please wait a moment, I will let you see my sister-in-law after I tidy up."

After such a delay for a while, Zhou Chun, who washed his face and groomed himself, followed Zhou Zhengyong to his home.

When he arrived at Zhou Zhengyong's house, Zhou Chun first greeted Sun Lianzhong and his wife who came to visit, then raised his hand and patted the storage bag on his waist, took out a brocade box and handed it to Zhou Zhengyong's Taoist couple Sun Yujiao.

With a smile on his face, he said: "I am very happy to hear that my sister-in-law is happy. There are seven spirit jujubes in this box, so I give them to my sister-in-law to nourish her body. I also ask my sister-in-law to accept it."

Hearing his words, Sun Yujiao was also slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but look at Taoist couple Zhou Zhengyong.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhengyong nodded with a smile and said, "Since it's Thirteenth Brother's wish, you can accept Yujiao."

Sun Yujiao didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately said with a smile: "Then sister-in-law, I will first thank the thirteenth brother for the baby in my womb."

After finishing speaking, he took the brocade box, put it in the storage bag without looking at it, and then invited Zhou Chun to sit down together.

Zhou Zhengyong spent a lot of money to entertain his father-in-law and mother-in-law who rarely came to visit.

On the dining table, many of the ingredients are spiritual-level ingredients that contain pure spiritual power, which are usually only used when the Zhou family holds certain banquets.

Eating this table may only have a little effect on improving personal cultivation, but the taste is very good.

Zhou Chun could tell that although Sun Lianzhong had repeatedly complained about his son-in-law's wasting money before eating, he was obviously very happy and in a very happy mood when eating.

After such a few people cleaned up the food on the table together, Zhou Zhengyong brought a pot of spiritual tea as if offering a treasure.

He took out two teacups and poured two cups of light green tea with a strong fragrance, and respectfully handed the two cups of tea to Sun Lianzhong and his wife and said:

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, you and the elders should try our Zhou family's special honey flower tea. This is the spiritual tea that is about to disappear in the Zhou family. The son-in-law also spent a lot of effort to get it from an elder. Yiwan stock comes here to honor your elders!"

Originally, Sun Lianzhong and his wife were attracted by the strong-flavored tea, but after hearing his words, they immediately turned their gazes to him, their eyes filled with relief and satisfaction.

Obviously very satisfied with the filial piety of this son-in-law.

"Hehehe, then we will not be polite."

Sun Lianzhong chuckled, and immediately took a sip of the tea.

Then he closed his eyes slightly, revealing a look of great enjoyment.

After a while passed like this, he opened his eyes with satisfaction and praised: "Good tea! Really good tea!"

After speaking, he couldn't help but took another sip.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhengyong also had a happy smile on his face.

He immediately fetched another teacup, poured a cup and handed it to Zhou Chun, saying, "Brother Thirteen, you should have a cup too, you probably haven't had this honey flower tea for a long time!"

"This tea fragrance..."

Zhou Chun stared blankly at the teacup that Zhou Zhengyong handed over, didn't reach out to take it, but closed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought as if thinking of something.

Zhou Zhengyong was also very puzzled by this performance, and immediately asked: "Thirteenth brother, what's wrong with you, Thirteenth brother? Is there something wrong with this tea?"

"No, it's not that there's something wrong with the tea, it's just that I suddenly thought of something related to this honey flower tea."

Zhou Chun opened his eyes, shook his head slightly, then reached out to take the tea in Zhou Zhengyong's hand, and took a sip.

Really good tea!
This is Zhou Chun's first drink of "Honey Flower Tea" since he came to this world. The taste is as expected. It is much better than the several spiritual teas he has drunk before, and the effect is the same.

But now is not the time for tea.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Zhengyong with piercing eyes and asked, "Brother Yong, where did you get this honey flower tea from? I remember that this thing should be out of stock in the family since we separated. right?"

When Zhou Zhengyong heard his words, he immediately sighed softly: "Yes, without [Jasper Spirit Bee] and Qingning tea tree, our Zhou family can't make this honey flower tea by ourselves now, and now there is only A very small number of family elders still have a little stock in their hands, and they are reluctant to drink it!"

Speaking of this, he is not afraid of embarrassment to expose his short-sighted words: "Today, this pill of honey flower tea is for my brother and I, relying on the face of my father who has been dead for many years, and took the unborn child in Yujiao's womb. It took a long time for Uncle Jiu to ask for it!"

"You child...you really have a heart!!"

After hearing Zhou Zhengyong's words, Sun Lianzhong's face was also moved, and he looked at his son-in-law with kindness.

Zhou Chun didn't care so much at this time. After listening to Zhou Zhengyong's answer, Dang even showed a thoughtful expression, and muttered to himself: "So, a spiritual thing like honey flower tea, Even for an old man like Uncle Jiu, it is impossible to drink it often now!"

"How is it possible to drink often!"

Zhou Zhengyong sighed, shook his head again and again, and said, "Let's not talk about Uncle Jiu, I guess even the patriarchs, the elders, and the like would not be able to drink this honey flower tea often now, and they would probably only entertain important guests or their own birthdays. At that time, take it out and talk about it for aftertaste!"

"Is that so?"

Zhou Chun murmured something to himself, then suddenly raised his head and bowed to Zhou Zhengyong and said, "Brother Yong, forgive me, I have important matters to see the patriarch immediately, so I will excuse you first."

After speaking, he bowed to Sun Lianzhong and his wife and said: "Uncle Sun, Aunt Lin, you two are slow, my nephew will take my leave first."

In this way, Zhou Zhengyong was not given a chance to inquire about the reason and to persuade him to stay, so Zhou Chun quickly left the scene and left Zhou Zhengyong's house under the astonished and suspicious eyes of his family.

After staring at his leaving back in a daze for a while, Zhou Zhengyong came back to his senses, and then quickly explained to Sun Lianzhong and his wife: "Forgive me, my father-in-law, Thirteenth Brother has always been very stable and prudent, and he knows how to be polite. I'm afraid that something really happened, and I definitely didn't intend to neglect you two!"

When Sun Lianzhong heard this, he immediately waved his hands and said, "Zhengyong, you don't need to say too much. We are all watching what happened just now. Nephew Zhengchun must have something important to do. Let's not disturb him."

"Father-in-law, you just need to understand!"

Zhou Zhengyong breathed a sigh of relief, then hurriedly picked up the teapot to refill the tea for the two elders, and began to serve them attentively.

Besides, after Zhou Chun left Zhou Zhengyong's house, he directly sacrificed the flying magic weapon and flew towards the Pagoda Peak, without daring to delay for a moment.

When he saw the patriarch Zhou Daoyi in the "Zhongping Hall", he immediately bowed his hands to him and said: "Patriarch Mingjian, this junior just found an important clue, and I want to ask the patriarch to help this junior!"

"Oh, what do you want to ask?"

Zhou Daoyi looked at him in surprise, and was immediately attracted by his words.

"This junior would like to ask the patriarch boldly, as you and the Supreme Elder, can you still enjoy spiritual tea like honey flower tea?"

Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Daoyi with a serious expression, and immediately asked the question in his heart.

"That's definitely not possible. Even when I was in Fengguo in the past, I and the Supreme Elder could only get three or five bottles of tea pills every year, so I still have to give some as gifts to friends outside the sect. Fellow Daoists, we must bestow some on the younger generations, and keep some to entertain other distinguished guests."

"If you really count it, the number of times you can enjoy honey flower tea by yourself is only a few times a year!"

Zhou Daoyi shook his head slightly, and answered Zhou Chun's question in great detail.

Then he also had a suspicious look in his eyes, looked at Zhou Chun with a puzzled face and asked, "Zhengchun, why did you suddenly ask this question? Is the important clue you found related to this honey flower tea?"

After Zhou Chun listened to his answer, he became more confident about the guess in his heart.

Hearing his question at this time, Zhou Chun took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone: "Patriarch Mingjian, I think I may know who betrayed the family secrets, who betrayed the family and murdered the nineteenth aunt!!"

"Who is it? Tell me who he is!"

Zhou Daoyi's complexion darkened, he looked at Zhou Chun with flickering eyes and asked the man's name in a deep voice.

"Didn't the patriarch just ask why the younger generation asked about honey flower tea?"

"Actually, this junior forgot to mention one thing in the previous investigation report, that is, during the question-and-answer session with Seventh Brother in his study, this junior once opened the teapot on his desk, and there was still faint scent of honey flower tea in it." Unique tea aroma."

"It's just that the younger generation hasn't drunk honey flower tea for a long time, and I didn't recognize it at the time. Thanks to brother ten, I drank a cup of honey flower tea with him today, and then I remembered where the fragrance in brother Seven's teapot came from. place!"

"Patriarch, you also said that even when you were in Fengguo, Zhou family foundation cultivators like you couldn't enjoy honey flower tea often, so now it's been so long, how can Brother Seven still do it in a place like the study?" Exclusive honey flower tea? Where does his honey flower tea come from?"

"After contacting Seventh Brother, he just happened to go out on the day Nineteenth Aunt left the family. I dare not say that these two things have nothing to do with each other!"

"One more thing, this junior once saw Brother Seven coming out of the Spirit Beast Pavilion by chance in Fangshi, and asked Uncle Sixteen at that time, and he can testify that Brother Seven didn't visit us when he went to Fangshi. Spirit Beast Zhai, I don't think this is normal!"

Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Daoyi with a solemn expression, and said his own discoveries and conjectures in a low tone.

Although he didn't say it clearly, his words clearly showed who that person was.

Now it depends on how Zhou Daoyi thinks about his speculation.
