26 The 4 Heavenly Gates (1/2)
”Father…..”
Outside the valley, Zhou Wenwu looked back in the direction of the secluded valley and said, ”Let my sister becomes a slave to someone else? If this piece of news spread, what will the Zhou family's reputation become?”
”You are over worried. If both of us don't reveal anything, no one will know that it is Wenxin!”
Zhou Tong shook his head and said, ”Your sister is too stubborn. It is time for her to look for someone to improve her character. Since I'm still alive now, it is still okay. When I'm dead, she will likely bring trouble for the Zhou family!”
”But…..”
Zhou Wenwu disapproved. ”I still feel that this is inappropriate. Sister's reputation….hold on a second. Father, you want to….”
”Haha, the young Master is not that kind of person. Even if so, what is there to lose out on if I have a son-in-law?”
Zhou Tong stroked his moustache and said, ”Even though your sister is stubborn, her character is actually good in nature. We should let them get together first. Even if their relationship doesn't work out in the end, at least your sister is able to benefit from learning a few techniques from the Master!”
”Father, looks like you have much confidence in this Master!”
Even though Zhou Wenwu stayed silent, he knew that Zhou Tong had already made a decision and would not change it no matter what.
Also, the mindset here was different. Marrying off one's daughter or sister to a capable man meant that others would not look down on you.
”Not to mention…..”
Zhou Tong heaved a long sigh, ”Qingye City's situation is unpredictable. I am finding an alternative path for the Zhou family. Wenwu, don't follow me back to the city. Just head straight to Lieyang County and find your aunt. Stay there for a period of time and enjoy yourself!”
”The situation is in such a bad state now?
Zhou Wenwu was surprised and this would mean that Zhou Tong would be on his own and away from the family. Zhou Wenwu angrily said, ”Father, when Song Yujie died, you still haven't recovered from your injuries. The whole family was in the mountains. How will Song Zhong dare to accuse you?”
”In the past, he would not dare to. However, it is hard to say now….”
Zhou Tong shook his head.
A desperate person was the scariest. Song Zhong lost his child when he was old and since then, he had lived alone. It was hard to say what his mind had become.
Plus, he was also an elder. Zhou Tong, on the other hand, was just an Outer Sect Deacon and both of them were enemies of the same Sect.
If the other party lost his loved one and felt like committing suicide, he would also bring others along and die together!
Zhou Tong's face was gloomy and suspected that the poison case was likely to have originated from the Song family.
Of course, Zhou Wenwu wouldn't need to know about this suspicion.
”Alright, Father will with all of us. We have nothing to be afraid of since we did nothing wrong!”
Zhou Wenwu shuddered as Song Zhong, who broke through two Gates, was a [Martial Artist (7th Gate)] expert!
If Song Zhong became crazy and started killing everyone in Qingye City, no one could stop him as the city was not part of the Spirit Returning Sect.
”Leave?”
Zhou Tong listened and gave a sorrowful smile. ”You should leave with your sister first. I, being the father, shouldn't!”
This was just a prediction of the worst case scenario. It was totally unnecessary for now.
If the Zhou family migrated elsewhere, what would the rest of the Qingye City think?
If the Zhou family retreated and escaped to elsewhere when there was trouble, they would not have to think about living in the Qingye City ever again.
Nowadays, families here were like beasts as they had territories they controlled. Qingye City was the territory of the Zhou family. If this territory was abandoned, others would come and claim it.
Hence, the worse the situation became, the more Zhou Tong couldn't leave.
”Don't worry, Song Zhong and I are of the same Sect. With Lin family around, he will not dare to do anything funny!”
Even though Zhou Tong was worried, he still comforted Zhou Wenwu.
Even he himself also felt this way. If not, based on his cunning character, he would definitely not go back and die.
...….
”Your father sent you here to become my servant?”
At that moment, Fang Yuan stared at Zhou Wenxin and remained silent.
”Certainly…..certainly not….”
Zhou Wenxin immediately teared after hearing what Fang Yuan said.
Seeing that Fang Yuan stepped forward, she became even more terrified and retreated further with her hands clutching her shoulders. ”What….what do you want? Don't come near me!”
”Why do you make me look like the bad guy?”
Fang Yuan stroked his chin and said, ”I'm not interested in you. Even if I wanted to be mean, isn't it normal for me to have a servant?”
”Boohoo!”
After what he said, Zhou Wenxin couldn't endure any longer and cried out loud. ”You are bullying me again….you are a bad guy….”
”Excuse me, you are being self-affectionate!”
Fang Yuan frowned and said, ”I am preparing to send you out of the mountains today actually!”
”What?”
Zhou Wenxin stopped crying and lifted her head. Her teary eyes were staring right at Fang Yuan's.
She thought that she would be suffering since she landed onto a thief's hands. She didn't expect that Fang Yuan was not interested in her and was preparing to send her off!
At that moment, she felt humiliated instead of being fearful.
Previously, she thought that being a servant was humiliating. She didn't expect that being rejected to be someone's servant was even more humiliating!
