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

Chapter 867 Blackmail
"Dad, Mom, what is the important matter that cannot be discussed in the Dharma world?" Zhou Qingyun, who was hurriedly called back home by her parents, asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Although Zhou Qingyun's family background cannot be said to be ordinary, it cannot be considered a cultivation family. Both his parents are so-called Dharma Realm cultivators. They have no master-disciple inheritance and can only practice and enter the Tao by relying on the [Lingshu Dharma Realm].

Even with Zhou Qingyun's help, he is still just a Qi-refining cultivator, but his lifespan has been increased a little, and he won't have to worry about death within a hundred years.

"Good news, it's great news, my daughter!" Zhou Li said with a happy face.

"Oh? What good news?" Zhou Qingyun had been thinking about how to deal with Zhou Leng these days, which was quite stressful. When she heard the good news her parents were talking about, she was naturally quite curious.

"Nannan, is there a family with the surname Zhou among your disciples?"

Zhou Qingyun couldn't help but frown and asked, "How did you know?"

"My daughter has joined such a great sect, so naturally we have to learn more about it." Zhou's mother said with a smile, "It's not like your father and I don't know how to use the [Spiritual Pivot Realm]."

"I heard that the Zhou family is the largest cultivation family on Sanxian Island. Is that true or not?"

Seeing Zhou Qingyun nod in agreement, Zhou's mother smiled even more happily and said, "My daughter has been the smartest since she was young. Unfortunately, she was dragged down by two incompetent people like me and your father. If both of us were well-educated, our daughter wouldn't have to suffer so much."

Zhou Qingyun vaguely sensed what her mother was going to say, but she still took a deep breath and asked, "Mom, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

"Oh, I've already told you it's a good thing." Mother Zhou said with a slightly unnatural look, "Your father and I have always been worried that you would be bullied by yourself in such a big sect. But you also know that we are incompetent and can't help you. If this really happens, we are powerless."

"But these few days, your father and I looked up the family tree and discovered that our family actually has the same origin as the Zhou family of Sanxian Island."

"If you return to the Zhou family and recognize your ancestry, you will be a daughter of the Zhou family from now on, and you will have someone to back you up."

After saying all this in one breath, Zhou's mother looked cautiously at Zhou Qingyun, whose face had no expression. The room suddenly fell into an inexplicable silence.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Qingyun asked in a hoarse voice, "How much is it?"

"I do not."

Before Zhou's mother could argue, Zhou Qingyun lowered her voice and asked word by word: "I want to ask you how much you sold me for?"

In the real world, Zhou Qingyun is already a cultivator who is only one step away from becoming a real person, not to mention that in [Dusty and Floating World], she is a county official who has experienced ups and downs for five hundred years and has gone through countless storms.

Even without using any magical powers at this moment, just questioning in a slow voice was enough to make Zhou's mother breathless, and she dared not say those excuses she had prepared.

She could only tremble and say, "The Zhou Zhou family is willing to accept your brother into the family as the direct descendant and send him to the Three Immortals Island to practice."

"Didn't I already send him to the lower house of the Dao League?"

"But you also know that your brother is useless. Even if he graduates from the lower academy, there is no way he can enter a good sect."

"I have already said it, I have a plan for what my brother should do in the future. When I become a real person, I can arrange for him to become one of the Three Immortals." Halfway through his words, Zhou Qingyun suddenly realized that if he really acted in this way, what would be the difference between him and the Zhou family? Isn't it the so-called aristocratic family that takes over the magpie's nest little by little and accomplishes things secretly?

Zhou Qingyun turned to look at his father, who was dressed in a blue shirt and looked very elegant. He sighed and said, "Father, do you think so too?"

"It is a good thing to return to one's roots and recognize one's ancestors. The people from the Zhou family treated us with courtesy, which must be because they are sincerely looking for my lineage to enter the ancestral temple." Zhou Qingyun knew that although her father was not good at cultivation, he was good at discussing profound ideas on weekdays. He must have some profound ideas when he talked with others. If others flattered him lightly, they must not be able to tell the directions.

Looking at her parents, Zhou Qingyun felt helpless. She believed that she had given enough for this family. Whether it was the elixirs for her parents or her brother's practice, she had treated them with all her heart.

But what she got in return was that she was sold without any consultation.

But even so, Zhou Qingyun did not want to give in. As it involved the path of cultivation, she would not give in. If she compromised against her will, how could she pass the test of her conscience again?
I will cut off all the petty intrigues and complicated affairs myself!

Zhou Qingyun's heart gradually became firm. She slowly looked at her parents and said coldly, "I will be in charge of family affairs in the future. Father and mother, just take a rest."

"Qingyun, are you okay?" Luo Zhi looked over with concern and asked carefully.

"It's just some rumors, what can they do to me?"

Ever since Zhou Qingyun forced her parents to return the gifts sent by the Zhou family, she has been labeled as ungrateful and unfilial.

Zhou Qingyun was already quite famous in Sanxian Island, and was considered the best among the junior disciples. With the Zhou family behind the scenes fanning the flames, it was natural that he became a household name.

Using etiquette and righteousness to weave a web and tame those rebellious people who are unwilling to obey is the method that the aristocratic families are most adept at using.

If we don't break their spines, how can we control them?

Although the Zhou family has only been around for a short time, only a thousand years, they have the great momentum of the Three Immortals Island, and are very confident even when compared to those top families. In this way, they have learned many of the methods of the families.

Zhou Qingyun had already made up her mind and would naturally not be affected by such rumors, but she also knew that if the Zhou family took action, it would not be so simple and they would definitely have a backup plan.

"What does the master say?" Zhou Qingyun asked in a deep voice.

Although Zhou Qingyun became a disciple of Yuejiang Island, he had too high standards. In addition, the opportunities provided by [Lingshu Dharma Realm] and [Dust and Disaster World] were enough for his practice. Therefore, he had not yet appointed anyone as his personal master. He only worshipped the dock of Yuejiang Island.

Luo Zhi's expression suddenly became complicated, with a hint of guilt in her anger. She said carefully, "The Zhou family must have reached some kind of agreement on the condition that my father enter the Lanyun Palace. They just want this matter to be resolved quickly."

"After disobeying your parents, you abandon your master?" Zhou Qingyun sneered, "They really have no new ideas."

"Qingyun, I don't care what they do, I'm on your side!" Luo Zhi said firmly, "I don't believe that the Zhou family can cover up the sky of Sanxian Island with one hand."

"At worst, we can go to Chongli City. The lineage of Patriarch Xu is not afraid of the Zhou family. I also happen to know a few senior sisters who hate evil as much as they hate evil."

Zhou Qingyun shook her head and said slowly, "No need to do that. Uncle is at a critical moment to enter Lanyun Palace. I was worried that my affairs would ruin Uncle's chance. The Zhou family's actions are exactly what I want."

"Don't they just want this household registration? What will happen even if they give it to them?"

"But you don't need it urgently." Luo Zhi also knew that Zhou Qingyun was going to use these resources to break through the Jindan. "If you need anything, just tell me. This matter was caused by me, so I should be responsible."

Zhou Qingyun looked at Luo Zhi, who was full of apology, and said with a smile: "I can give him the household registration, but I will also collect all the things he needs!"

"If he won't give it to me, I'll find a way to get it!"
