Chapter 41 The Zhou Family's Apology, Manipulating Little Xuexue's Heart, Pang Lai's Secret Manual

The Zhou family owns a large estate in the heart of the capital, which looks magnificent, but in Zhao Chengyue's eyes, it exudes the air of a 'nouveau riche' and has little substance.

Zhao Chengyue took Mu Ningxue to the car that the temple had brought, and they drove directly to the Zhou family's residence.

The license plate number is 京A888888, which is very impressive.

The Zhou family patriarch was informed in advance by Zhao Lingyun that Zhao Chengyue was going to pay a visit, and he was somewhat uneasy.

Zhou Youhong, the young master of the Zhou family, was also dragged into it.

Zhou Youhong was initially reluctant, but upon hearing about Zhao Chengyue's strength and background, he immediately became obedient, and even a hint of eagerness flashed in his eyes.

The two families are not far apart in age, and if they can befriend this most favored young master of the Zhao family, it will be of great benefit to the Zhou family as well.

"This must be my nephew Zhao! He is indeed exceptionally brave and handsome, quite like your father, truly deserving of the name 'Zhao family's prodigy'!"

The Zhou family head put on a smile and stepped forward to flatter him.

"Good nephew?"

A hint of coldness played at the corners of Zhao Chengyue's lips:
"Patriarch Zhou, you should probably refrain from using that title."

He ignored the Zhou family father and son, and turned around to take Mu Ningxue's hand very naturally.

With his gentle support, Mu Ningxue gracefully stepped out of the car.

First, she took a long, slender step, and then slowly came to a stop.

This scene shocked Zhou Youhong so much that his jaw almost dropped.

Zhao Chengyue's gaze swept over Zhou Youhong's discomposure, and a slightly cold smile curved his lips.

"It is said that."

Zhao Chengyue's gaze returned to the Zhou family head, his voice not loud, but carrying an invisible pressure:
"Your Zhou family wants to force Ning Xue into marriage?"

"Ahem! Ahem!"

The Zhou family head was shocked, and cold sweat broke out almost instantly. He hurriedly waved his hand:

"Misunderstanding! Young Master Zhao, this is absolutely a huge misunderstanding!"

At that moment, he finally understood.

The Zhou family's attempt to force Mu Ningxue into marriage this time has definitely backfired!
If I had known that you, Zhao Chengyue, also liked Mu Ningxue, I wouldn't have dared to let my son, Zhou Youhong, come to our door to force Mu Ningxue into marriage, even if I had a hundred times the courage!

The air seemed to freeze instantly, and the scene plummeted to freezing point.

The Zhou family head's face burned with embarrassment, as if he had been slapped in public, and his lips twitched slightly.

To welcome the second young master of the Zhao family, he specially gathered many clansmen, hoping to take advantage of the Zhao family's influence to make a grand spectacle. Who would have thought that he would end up in such an embarrassing situation!

Mu Ningxue's gaze fell on the tall figure in front of her.

Seeing him so assertive, demanding an explanation from the Zhou family, a warm feeling welled up inside me.

Zhou Youhong, who was standing to the side, caught a glimpse of the warmth in Mu Ningxue's eyes, and his heart clenched as if he had been stabbed by a needle.

"It's over!"

He thought desperately.

From this day forward, Zhou Youhong and the entire Zhou family will likely lose all face and become infamous in the capital!
However, at this moment, he could only swallow his humiliation.

The most urgent task is to satisfy Zhao Chengyue.

Otherwise, given the Zhao family's power, a little pressure would severely impact the Zhou family's business and shake the foundation the family has built up over many years.

finally.

Only after the Zhou family offered their almost obsequious apologies and lavish hospitality did Zhao Chengyue leave the Zhou family manor with Mu Ningxue.

Before leaving, the Zhou family head, suppressing his heartache, offered two precious Star River Veins and a Winged Demon Tool as an apology.

Zhao Chengyue also felt somewhat emotional.

It seems that although the Zhou family head and Zhou Youhong are bad, they are not stupid.

The Zhou family earns billions every year through a project provided by their family, and they exchange a fraction of that profit for the Zhao family's forgiveness and promise not to hold them accountable.

They're very pragmatic.

The car stopped near the Mu family's residence. "Ning Xue, take this."

Without a word, Zhao Chengyue stuffed the two shimmering Star River Veins and the dazzling Winged Demon Tool into Mu Ningxue's arms.

His movements were swift and decisive, carrying his usual domineering manner, leaving no room for refusal.

He clearly remembered that in the original trajectory, Mu Ningxue left the National Team with regret because she lacked the resources to purchase the Star River Vein to break through to a higher level.

He will never let this happen again.

"I don't want it, take it back!"

Mu Ningxue was moved, but unwilling to accept such a generous gift for nothing, she hurriedly tried to return the Star River Vein.

However, Zhao Chengyue had already turned around, strode into the car, and left only one clear sentence carried on the wind:

"Keep this safe! It's an apology from the Zhou family. What would it look like if I took it? Focus on your cultivation and break through to the next level as soon as possible!"

Before he could finish speaking, he waved, his tall figure disappearing through the car window.

As the car engine started, a loud roar resounded.

Mu Ningxue was left standing there, holding the warm yet heavy treasure in her hand, her heart churning with emotions.

Looking at the Star River Vein and the Winged Demon Tool in his hands, his eyes were already red with tears:
"Cheng Yue."
-
After watching The Richest Man in Xihong City in his previous life, Zhao Chengyue understood a principle.

Although Xia Zhu doesn't like money, every moment that Wang Duoyu touched her was bought with money.

The same principle applies.

He now has the backing of the Zhao family and is also very successful; he's not short of money.

Two Star River Veins and one Winged Magic Tool, worth hundreds of millions, were given away without a second thought.

Anyway, it wasn't his money that was being taken.

Although if you really want him to give it to you, he won't refuse.

soon.

Because of that recording pen, Songhe Laogou, Jiang Yi, and others were sent to a military court and tried.

Zhao Chengyue had no interest in the verdict against Jiang Yi and others.

Songhe suffered heavy losses due to the combined pressure from the various forces behind the students.

He not only compensated each student who participated in the Jinlin City training with one million yuan, but also resigned from his position as the dean of the Imperial Capital Academy.

After that, I guess I'll just retire and enjoy my old age. I can forget about participating in any major events anymore.

Early the next morning, Zhao Chengyue arrived at the Forbidden City by car.

Zhao Lingyun, the father, used his connections to successfully find a copy of "The Secret Manual of Mental Control" for Pang Lai.

After Zhao Chengyue awakened his spatial abilities, he returned home and obtained a manual within his clan on how to properly cultivate spatial abilities.

But it's just the basic version.

Pang Lai, the chief mage of the Forbidden City, is one of the top three summoning mages in the world, and possesses semi-forbidden summoning spells.

Their mental strength is undeniably powerful.

At the same time, he also possesses a secret manual for cultivating spiritual power passed down through generations, which Zhao Chengyue can obtain.

Later, by cultivating spiritual power, one can absorb and refine the mind stones more quickly, thereby enhancing spiritual power.

"Old Pang," Zhao Chengyue said with a smile.

"You must be Zhao Chengyue? You've gained quite a reputation in the capital these days."

Pang Lai laughed heartily.

“Your father also told me that you can take this ‘Manual of Mind Control’,” Pang Lai said.

He handed a copybook to Zhao Chengyue and said with a light laugh.

'I wonder what price my father paid to get his hands on the copy directly.'

Zhao Chengyue clicked his tongue in amazement.
