C17 (1/2)

Under the setting sun, when night unknowingly covered the Zhou family courtyard, at this moment, the Blue Cloud, who was currently cultivating, was awoken by a shout.

”Young master Cang, the sector lord has summoned you to join him for the banquet.”

Hearing the familiar voice, Cang Yun quickly got off the bed and opened the door. ”Thank you, Uncle Fu.”

As for the reason why Zhou Hao had called him to join the banquet, Cang Yun was not surprised. It seemed like the former knew what had happened at the Zhou household today, and calling him over would mean that there was something he needed to do. Thus, Cang Yun followed behind Uncle Fu and headed towards the main hall.

Other than Zhou Hao and Zhou Xian'er, the other person was a beautiful woman. Her face was very similar to Zhou Xian'er's, a fair skin and exquisite facial features, with the exception of her figure which was slightly bountiful, but it had a more mature and feminine elegance to it.

She was Zhou Xian`er's mother, the only Realmlord wife in the entire realm.

”Uncle Zhou, Aunt.” Cang Yun walked into the great hall and bowed respectfully towards the Zhou couple.

”Yun'er is here?”

”Come, sit down.”

Zhou Hao and his wife spoke out one after another. Their gazes towards Cang Yun were filled with benevolence.

”Big brother Cang Yun.” Zhou Xian'er smiled sweetly and arrived beside Cang Yun in high spirits. She immediately pulled him along and sat down beside her.

”Alright, let's eat first. Let's talk while we eat.” Zhou Hao said with a faint smile.

Cang Yun nodded. In this sort of situation, although he was the only outsider, he did not feel a sense of formality. As a child, he had frequently come to the Zhou Family to 'scrounge for food'.

”Yun'er, I heard that Zhou Shan, that kid, came to find trouble with you today because of the clan's quota?” Halfway through their meal, Zhou Hao raised his head and asked.

”That's true.” Cang Yun nodded.

”These stinking brats.” Zhou Hao frowned and looked at Cang Yun with a worried look, ”Are you alright?”

”I'm fine, I just injured Zhou Shan. I've troubled you, Uncle Zhou.” Seeing the concern on Zhou Hao's face, Cang Yun felt a surge of warmth in his heart. After which, he apologetically recounted the matter. After all, Zhou Shan was a member of the Zhou Family. By doing so, he had disgraced the Zhou Family.

”That's nothing, as long as you're fine.” Zhou Hao waved his hand and pondered for a moment. Then, he suddenly said in a serious tone, ”There are some things that I need to tell you.”

”Is this related to the Zhou Clan's trial by fire?” Cang Yun had already guessed what Zhou Shan said before, so he asked.

Zhou Hao nodded, his expression solemn. ”This opening of the clan territory is different from usual. It concerns the Zhou family, and even the rise of the Sunscorch World.”
