Doomsday group favorite: I will win with my three brothers

Chapter 284 You've all come

“I can do it!” Zhao Shikang affirmed, and then refused to say another word.

Zhao Lexi saw that Gao Jue had been observing Zhao Shikang through the rearview mirror. Gradually, his expression became somewhat strange: inquiry, appreciation, sympathy, regret... Finally, the moment he met Zhao Lexi's inquiry gaze, all the strange expressions disappeared, leaving only a comforting smile, as if to say: Don't worry, I've got you covered.

Soon, they arrived at the foot of Jingshan Mountain and easily found the Zhao family's convoy. Their vehicles were arranged in a circle, and there were no mosquitoes inside the circle.

Like them, the convoy from Jianghai Base also formed a circle around the Zhao family's convoy. An evolved human got out of the car first, holding a bottle, and poured liquid around the convoy. The mosquitoes near the liquid fell down, and the surrounding mosquitoes quickly moved away from the liquid's range.

Zhao Shikang flicked a fireball out the window. The fireball split into two, then into four, and in an instant, countless fireballs burned away all the mosquitoes within the circle of liquid.

Everyone got out of the car, and the head of the Xue family exclaimed, "As expected of Master Yuantong's last disciple, his strength is indeed formidable."

"Patriarch Xue, you flatter me."

After exchanging pleasantries, the people from the Zhao family's convoy quickly approached. Zhao Shikang went to greet them: "Grandpa."

“Grandpa.” Zhao Lexi followed closely behind.

The one who arrived was Zhao Hao, the current head of the Zhao family.

"Lele, Shikang." The old man held the two children's hands, looked them up and down for a while, and then his smile disappeared. "I won't say much more. Your three senior brothers and sisters are all on the mountain now. The eldest and the third arrived yesterday, and the second arrived this morning. They're just waiting for you."

There was no time for reminiscing; everyone hurriedly got into the car and drove up the mountain.

The higher you go, the fewer mosquitoes there are. By the time you reach the parking lot halfway up the mountain, there are almost none left. Further up, there are no roads, only steps, and at the very top of the steps is Jingshan Temple.

Unable to drive up the mountain, the group got out and hurried uphill.

Twenty people from the Zhao family arrived, and together with the Xue and Li families, there were a total of fifty people, a grand and imposing group.

Zhao Hao held Zhao Lexi's hand and walked behind Zhao Shikang, asking softly, "Lele, are you doing well at the Beicang base? If not, come back to Grandpa's side."

Zhao Shikang, who was in front, glared at him and said, "Grandpa!"

Zhao Hao teased, "Oh, you're jealous! Wouldn't it be better to give Lele more choices? Why are you so angry? Look, you've got pimples."

On the way here, Zhao Shikang, who was so anxious that a red bump appeared on the tip of his nose because his proficiency in using his supernatural abilities was not as good as Zhao Lexi's, turned his head away in shame and indignation.

Zhao Lexi quickly reassured him, "Grandpa, once things are settled here, I'll go back with you for a day."

"Good, good! This is Grandpa's good granddaughter. Grandpa missed you so much. When you were still at the base, I said I wanted to video chat with you, but your older brother wouldn't agree. That unlucky kid, the older he gets, the more disobedient he becomes. No one is as adorable as our little Lele."

During the conversation, the group had already reached the mountaintop.

The temple gates, which were never closed before, were now tightly shut.

Zhao Shikang stepped forward and knocked on the door. Soon, a disciple came and opened the door a crack. Upon seeing Zhao Shikang, the disciple exclaimed with delight, "Fourth Senior Brother! Junior Sister!" Then, seeing the crowd behind him, the disciple hurriedly opened the main door and welcomed them in.

"Please follow me." The disciple led the way and whispered to the two, "Our eldest brother, second brother, and third sister have arrived and are waiting for you."

"Okay, thank you, junior brother."

Passing through the front yard, the crowd saw a number of people sitting in twos and threes. The junior disciple Xie Long said to the people behind the two, "Please wait here for a moment. When the will is made public, we will come and invite you to come."

The Zhao and Xue families each gathered their own people and found places to rest, clearly separating themselves. Zhao Shikang and his sister continued walking forward with their young disciple, Xie Long.

As they approached the hall, Xie Long couldn't help but ask, "Fourth Senior Brother, will you stay?"

Zhao Shikang understood what he meant, but still shook his head and said, "No."

Disappointment flashed across Xie Long's face, but he quickly regained his composure.

Upon arriving at the hall, the two pushed open the door and entered. They saw their eldest senior brother and third senior sister standing to one side, while their second senior brother stood alone on the other side, creating a tense atmosphere.

Upon seeing the two enter, the eldest brother and third sister visibly relaxed.

"Lele, come here!"

"Lele, come here!"

The third senior sister and the second senior brother shouted at the same time.

The overlooked Zhao Shikang: Did I gain some kind of superpower that allows me to become invisible?!
He held Zhao Lexi's hand, and without getting close to anyone else, he greeted them one by one: "Hello, Senior Brother! Hello, Second Senior Brother! Hello, Third Senior Sister!"

Then came an eerie silence.

Zhao Lexi looked around and finally broke the silence: "Senior brothers and sisters, if you have nothing else to do, can my brother and I go and kowtow to Master first?"

The eldest brother sighed and said, "Go. His memorial tablet is on the table in front."

The brother and sister walked over, and Xie Yuan, the senior disciple of the inner sect who was standing by, gave each of them three sticks of incense. The two of them respectfully accepted the sticks, inserted them into the incense burner, and then solemnly kowtowed three times.

"Xie Yuan, now that all five of us are here, you can take out the video of Master's death, right?" the second senior brother said indifferently.

"Yes, Second Senior Brother." Xie Yuan bowed respectfully, took an SD card out from the seam of his clothes, then took a video recorder from the cabinet next to the table, inserted the SD card, turned it on, and placed it on the table. Soon, Master Yuantong's thin face appeared in the video.

The five people stood up respectfully without making a sound.

Master Yuantong did not speak. His slightly cloudy eyes simply looked quietly at the camera, his gaze seemingly piercing through time and space, landing on the five people present.

"I know you will all come back."

Zhao Lexi's eyes welled up with tears: Did the images left by her master in her previous life also say these words? She and her brother didn't come, and they even died early in the end. Did her master know?

"Lele."

"I'm here!" Zhao Lexi answered subconsciously, only to realize afterward that her master could no longer hear her.

"Some things are just a dream; when you wake up, that's reality. Remember, follow your heart; do what you want to do. The only thing that can hold you back is yourself."

Zhao Lexi burst into tears: she understood. Her master knew, her master knew everything. He knew about her past life and understood her thoughts in this life. Unfortunately, she was once again separated from her master forever.

“Shikang, your mother sent you up the mountain just to improve your health, but we are destined to be master and disciple, so I took you in as my last disciple. You are a lucky child. Live well and see for your master whether the new world after the disaster is better.”

“Master!” Zhao Shikang’s eyes were red.
