568 If You Were Emperor (1/2)

Turning around to take a look at Zong Shou's expression, which had dimmed back down, only then did Xunayuan Yiren realize that something was wrong. Her brows furrowed, thinking that before this matter Zong Shou had taken a trip to Oblivion Cloud Ocean. A tragic gaze appeared in her eyes, \”You didn't manage to find father-in-law?\”

Zong Shou laughed awkwardly inside, and knew that Xuanyuan Yiren misunderstood him.

What he was worried about had nothing to do with this matter. However, the matter of Zong Weiran being still alive shouldn't be easily told to others.

He trusted his future wife, but this place wasn't the right time to talk about all that.

Shaking his head and not answering, Zong Shou casually threw the Saint decree towards the dustbin on the side, showing no signs of respect towards it, annoying Kong Yao. He didn't bother with that, turning his eyes to the side of Xuanyuan Yiren.

An old man was sitting there. He looked like he was seventy years old, but the amount of energy and lifeforce he had was something that even he as a young man couldn't compare to.

\”May I ask, is this old man the sect leader of Pill Fountain Sect, Yiren's teacher, Old Man Mingdan?\”

The old man's eyes opened slightly. Without needing Xuanyuan Yiren to introduce him, he stood up.

\”I am Mingdan, greetings to Ruler! This time what happened within my Pill Fountain Sect, Ruler must have ridiculed us.\”

\”Why would I?\”

Zong Shou laughed, like he didn't mind at all, \”The spiritual wave is about to arrive, these external race members rushing over, especially this Shadowless Demon race which is really hard to deal with. In the ancient era numerous sects and dynasties fell to their hands. For me to be able to protect my legacy, Pill Fountain Sect, is a huge credit. This matter is also unrelated to you, only…\”

When he said those words, Zong Shou's tone changed, his expression also turned serious, \”As a Ruler I must be unbiased, punishing and rewarding people fairly. This battle was still started by Pill Fountain Sect. Giving face to Yiren, I won't dish out any punishment. However all the sales of pills from the sect in the future, forty percent must be handed over to Gantian Mountain…\”

Xuanyuan Yiren was startled when she heard that. Right as she was about to speak, Zong Shou stared over viciously.

It was natural to punish, but this forty percent sum was simply too huge…

He had obviously already recovered and fixed the weaknesses of the Mysterious Moon Wood Brilliance Method. However, he was like a turtle hiding and not coming out, letting Xuanyuan Yiren take up all the pressure by herself. Even if this person had many reasons for doing so, it was tough for her to forgive him.

Why would he be nice to this Mingdan?

Mingdan heaved a sigh, instead grabbing Xuanyuan Yiren and bowing towards Zong Shou. \”Mingdan follows your orders. Ruler has saved our sect from being wiped out, our entire sect is really grateful! This kindness is like building the sect again from new, if you have any orders for us, we will follow without hesitation.\”

Said by Mingdan like that, Zong Shou felt embarrassed.

Unfortunately, forty percent of pill sales, no matter what, he won't relax on that. He was rich, but ever since he got that Book of Eon Extreme Life, he was just a poor man…

Thinking of how dark his future was, he gave out a powerless laugh as he looked towards Leidong and Jin Buhui.

He had to deal with so many matters, and nearly forgot about these two brothers.

At this moment there was still Zhao Yanran at the side, who looked over with her eyes wide, like she had something to say.

Only he decided to act like he didn't see that crazy woman…

------

A fragrant, thick, cool, and sweet wine surged into his throat. When it entered his stomach, it instantly turned into a ball of flames, causing his body to heat up while also feeling extremely comfortable and enthusiastic.

\”Great wine! Is that Blazing Flame Fragrance? To be able to brew such a good wine, as expected from a talented woman. This Miss Zhenru, if I have the chance I would really want to meet her! Give me another cup!\”

At this moment, Leidong's face was ashen white, there seemed to be stars spinning in his eyes. His consciousness was muddy, and he was unable to think straight anymore. He was about to fall to the ground at any moment, and he only knew one thing...

He could never drink this beer again!

Zong Shou laughed. Today he took revenge for when they formed their brotherhood, and as such he wasn't going to go too hard on him.

Jin Buhui sighed at the side, \”Senior brother Leidong has been smart for his entire life, today he was really destroyed here!\”

His tone was filled with deep pain and a bit of regret, but his brows were totally gloating.

Reaching out with a finger and waving it in front of Leidong, he asked how many numbers it was. When Leidong answered doubtfully that it was eight, he couldn't take it anymore and burst out laughing.

His expression turned serious as he asked Zong Shou, \”Brother Shou has returned from the east, did you head to Gong Xinran's grave? Looking at your worried expression, was it because of that matter?\”

\”That's right!\”

Zong Shou's expression turned cold and serious. \”Looking at the situation there, I think within one or two years that Nine Yin Death Witch will act. Who knows if at that time if it will still be her or not…\”

Jin Buhui's brows rose up, knowing what Zong Shou meant. If Gong Xinran had some consciousness left, then maybe both sides can talk about their relationship. If not, then they could only fight to the death.
