C11 (1/2)
Under Zhou Tong's explanation, Zhou Wan’er finally understood.
There was only one pill refined from the Jade Bone Flower, which Zhou Tong himself had taken long ago. When he lifted up the hem of his robe, the originally shocking wound had already been completely scabbed over.
With Zhou Tong's physique, that sword strike was only a superficial wound, not to mention the pills, even if all the people in the Zhou family added up, they would not be able to compare to a hair on Zhou Tong's body. There were so many healing pills that Zhou Tong did not take them out for the clan meeting because he did not want to give them to Zhou Lin.
”Wu, so that's how it is. No wonder your brother doesn't look like he's in pain at all.” Brother, you're so bad. ”Mhmm, shameless, is that the word used?”
”Heh, you girl, where did you learn to use such crooked words? Did you say that about your brother?”
Zhou Tong scolded while holding Zhou Wan’er in his arms, he kept scratching at the air, to the point where he was about to cry and laugh at the sight of Zhou Wan’er begging for mercy.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Tong suddenly saw a few sneaky figures, and quickly ran out of the courtyard door. All of them had an anxious look on their faces, and upon looking carefully, he noticed that they were the people who were sitting at the same table as Zhou Wan’er.
Zhou Tong's face turned cold, he raised the corner of his mouth and patted Zhou Wan’er's head.
”Wan-Er, do you want to go out and play?”
”Yes!” It's so boring at home, let's go out and play! ” Upon hearing that they needed to go out and play, Zhou Wan’er's eyes immediately lit up, and pulled on Zhou Tong's sleeves, shaking him non-stop.
”Then be a good boy and listen to me. Be an obedient brother and buy your favorite candy man.”
Zhou Wan’er nodded repeatedly, her small face full of excitement.
To the east and west of Cang Lan City were the two security offices. To the east was the protection office of the Zhou family, and to the west was the other big family, the Zheng Family's protection office.
The two branches had been in Cang Lan City for more than ten years. On the surface, they maintained a friendly relationship with each other, but in secret, there were many undercurrents that outsiders did not know about.
In the hall of Zheng Family's side courtyard, an old man with a grey beard was examining the pill in his hand. After a moment, he returned the pill to the jade bottle and smashed it onto the ground in front of the person kneeling.
”Hmph. You pieces of trash. You dare to use this thing to trick me?”
The old man pointed at the broken pieces on the ground and cursed. The pill that Zhou Tong pinched out was lying inside the pieces.
”Lord Third, please calm down. Please calm down.”
The few people kneeling at the foot of the hall were the few Zhou family disciples that had just left the courtyard in a hurry. Seeing that the people in the hall were enraged, the few of them hurriedly picked up the pieces of the floor and begged for mercy.
The person in the hall was Zheng Family's Third Elder, Zheng Jiang.
”That trash, Zhou Lin, took this old man's pill, but it actually left him half dead, and in the end he still dared to use this kind of trash to deceive this old man. I think you all must be tired of living!”
A few Zhou Family disciples were sent flying far away. Their mouths and noses were filled with a sweet and fishy smell, but they didn't even bother to wipe the blood from the corner of their mouths as they crawled back to Zheng Jiang's feet.
”Master San, we really did not do it on purpose. That Zhou Tong must have cheated and taken some kind of miracle medicine, adding on with big brother underestimating his opponent, that's it, that's it! ”
”Enough! If not for Zhou Lin having a place in the Zhou family, I would not have needed to save you all in the Wasteland. I was the one who gave you your lives, so you know what to do! ” Zheng Jiang glared at them coldly and said.
”Yes, yes. If it weren't for San Ye, we would have already become the souls of the beasts in the Wasteland.” We will be at San Ye's beck and call. ”
A few people nodded their heads, no one in the Zhou Family knew, that along with Zhou Lin, the so-called training group had killed a fierce beast, and the truth was that a few people were chased by the fierce beast until they almost lost their lives, if not for Zheng Jiang saving them, they would have been nothing but a pile of dried up meat and bones.
”Get up and speak.”
Hearing Zheng Jiang's words, the few of them stood up and bowed.
”Although Zhou Lin is not a match for Zhou Tong, but at least he is qualified to enter the Zhou Mansion. ”Go back and tell him that we've done what we want him to do. If we screw this up, you guys will all die!” Zheng Jiang returned to his seat and sat down, then picked up the teacup.
