When I become a demon king, I want to change my department to the Taoist sect.

Chapter 863 The fight between aristocratic families
"I'm sorry, Qingyun, I shouldn't have said so much." Luo Zhi looked at Zhou Qingyun cautiously, his face full of apology.

After a hundred years, Zhou Qingyun and Luo Zhi have both become great masters of the Yanfa method. The former also became a disciple of the Yuejiang Island lineage, and is now also the direct descendant of the Sanxian Island.

Zhou Qingyun smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I didn't think this matter could be concealed for too long, but I haven't yet formed the elixir. Once the matter of the county supervisor and censor is exposed, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble. Today, Zhou Bing just asked for a household registration, which I can still do. I'm just afraid that you will push it too far and become dissatisfied one day, which will cause trouble."

Luo Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "Although the Zhou clan is powerful, our Yuejiang Island is not to be trifled with. If they go too far, I will report it to the ancestor and let him make the decision!"

"Forget it. Now is a critical time for my uncle. We cannot offend the Zhou family. Let's first listen to what they are doing before we talk about other things."

On the second day, accompanied by Luo Zhi, Zhou Qingyun came to Jiuhua Island to keep her appointment with Zhou Leng.

The two walked for a while and stopped in front of a pavilion. They saw that the pavilion was covered with green jade, with flying eaves, a vermilion lintel, and a red gold plaque with the words "Jinhuan Tower" inscribed on it.

"Zhou Leng actually asked us to come to such a place with willows and mist to discuss matters?" Zhou Qingyun asked with a frown as she looked at the extremely luxurious building in front of her.

Luo Zhi nodded and said, "This building was built by the Zhou family. This is not allowed on Sanxian Island, so the Zhou family found another way and established this business outside the island. I heard that all the people who come and go here are disciples of aristocratic families, and the people who serve them are all well-trained. The luxury and beauty here are not worth telling to outsiders!"

"Since it is against the sect rules, how dare Zhou do this? Aren't you afraid of being punished?"

"How should we punish them? Who will punish them?" Luo Zhi said sarcastically, "Although this building is run by Zhou's disciples, they are not our disciples, so it is not considered a violation of the sect's rules."

"As for the maids, they all did it voluntarily. Who can say no?"

"Voluntary?" Zhou Qingyun asked in confusion, "With the convenience of practicing today, how could anyone be willing to serve others?"

"Why not?" Luo Zhi's words were full of disdain. "Although cultivation is convenient, it still requires resources. If there are many children in the family, it would be a great idea to sell one or two daughters to support the children and grandchildren with better qualifications."

"I heard that the Zhou people are often involved in lending. If you can't repay, you can use your children to pay off the debt. This is also a mutual consent. Who can interfere?"

"Of course, this behavior is not called selling a girl, but only a betrothal gift. For the sake of the Zhou clan, who dares to say anything else?"

Zhou Qingyun sighed and said no more.

Ever since she joined the Three Immortals Island, she has either been practicing in seclusion or immersed in the [Dusty World], and knows very little about the trivialities of the world.

Although I know that the Zhou clan is powerful in Sanxian Island, that's all I know. But from what I heard today, I feel that although the Zhou clan has not yet reached the point of doing evil, it is not far from it.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, even with the protection of the two masters Zhou Ju and Zhou Yao, the Zhou family might be...
After they walked into Jinhuan Tower hand in hand, they found that the scenery inside was even better than the outside.

The scent of agarwood surrounds the coiled dragon pillars, there are eight-treasure cloud patterns, and the ground is inlaid with agate, and stepping on it feels like walking on colorful clouds.

The pavilion is covered with red gauze curtains, and outside the curtains hang jade chimes and silver bells.

"Dear guests, do you have an appointment?" The steward did not show any strange look in his eyes because both of them were women, but still asked with great respect.

"Xiaoxiang Pavilion!"

"You are the distinguished guests of Master Zhou Leng. The Master is already waiting in the pavilion. I will lead you two distinguished guests there now."

When they reached the top floor, they saw Xiaoxiang Pavilion. After pushing the door open, they saw a noble man in white sitting inside, and there were dozens of girls playing the piano and drinking tea around him. Seeing the two people coming hand in hand, Zhou Leng was surprised and bowed, saying, "Are you Senior Sister Qingyun and Senior Sister Luo Zhi?"

Today, the Three Immortals Island has become a large sect with no less than ten thousand disciples. It is common for them to be unfamiliar with each other.

After the greeting, Zhou Qingyun did not want to talk much, and went straight to the point: "I do have a household registration of the Great Qin in my hand, I wonder how much Junior Brother Zhou can offer?"

"It would be a waste to only talk about business in such an elegant place. Please have a drink first, and enjoy my singing and dancing, and then we can talk about other things."

As he spoke, he clapped his hands and dozens of dancers spun around and stood up. They were all wearing colorful gowns made of shark silk, with golden threads wrapped around their arms and phoenix bells tied to their feet. Their wide sleeves fluttered like colorful clouds chasing the moon. They were all stunning beauties.

Zhou Leng clapped his hands and said with a smile: "This is the best dancer among the three best dancers in Jinhuan Tower. All the dancers are former cultivators of Miaoyin Pavilion. Their tradition is pure and few in the world can compare with them."

"Miaoyin Pavilion?" Luo Zhi was puzzled, but he had never heard of such a sect.

Zhou Leng said proudly, "This Miaoyin Pavilion was once a first-class sect in the East China Sea. Unfortunately, it strayed into the devil's way and was destroyed by our sect. Afterwards, it was taken over by our Zhou family and became the lower branch of the Three Immortals Island."

"Their sect's heritage has not been lost. The two arts of music and dance are just what our Jinhuan Tower is used for. It is to show the power of the Zhou clan. Isn't it appropriate?"

Zhou Qingyun suppressed her discomfort and said, "It is indeed a combination of singing and dancing, pleasing to the eyes."

Zhou Leng replied: "If you like, Senior Sister, I will give you a few people, but you can't put them on the island. But like me, raising them outside is not a big deal."

Zhou Qingyun frowned and said, "Isn't it said that all the girls in Jinhuan Tower are hired and free?"

"Hahaha, Senior Sister has lived on the island for a long time, you really have a pure heart." Zhou Leng laughed, "You are just saying this to deal with others. The girls in this building are all raised by our Zhou clan. We select the best looking ones and send them to Miaoyin Pavilion for training. Those who have completed their training can be called back to be dancers, or used by Jinhuan Building, or sold to other families. It's really a good business."

"Raising people and using them as slaves is a violation of the sect's laws!"

"Senior sister, what you said is absurd. These people are all entrusted to us because their families cannot afford to raise them. Our clan provides them with food, drink and training, and in the future we will choose a family for them to become monks or provide them with jobs. Everything we do is a great good deed. How can it be said that we are violating the law?!"

"Besides, except for my Zhou family, all other clans and tribes act in this way. Does that mean that all the clans are wrong?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand to call over a dancer, stroked her head and said, "Do you feel that my Zhou family has let you down?"

The dancer shook her head repeatedly and said, "It is all because of the kindness of my clan that I am now able to have enough food and clothing and the method of cultivation. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness, and I will repay you with this life!"

"Senior sister, don't think too much about others. There are countless women in this Chaos Sea who want to rely on our Zhou family. If she doesn't do it, there are many people who will be vying to do it. For them, this is a great favor."

"Sister, you have just become a true disciple and have not yet established a family, so it is naturally difficult for you to understand my intentions. You will understand in the future."

Zhou Qingyun shook his head coldly and said distantly: "I don't understand now, I don't want to understand, and I won't understand in the future."

Seeing Zhou Qingyun's bad tone, Zhou Leng stopped talking and said with a smile: "Since Senior Sister doesn't want to listen, let's talk about the household registration. I heard that Senior Sister has taken the position of the Imperial Censor of Daqin County, so it should not be difficult to issue a household registration."

"Junior brother, you are required by the mission. If you can help me, my Zhou clan will definitely reward you in the future."

Zhou Qingyun glanced at Zhou Leng calmly and said, "I don't ask for rewards later, I just want the money and goods to be settled, ten real talismans, and the household registration to be taken away."
