C12 (1/2)
At night, Zhou Tong packed his things. The Sumeru Pearl his father gave him had to have a space that was at least ten meters in length and width, which was enough for Zhou Tong to stuff everything into it in one go.
Just as he was tidying up, Zhou Wan’er pushed the door and walked in.
”Brother, are you going out?” Zhou Wan’er jumped to Zhou Tong's side and asked while blinking his eyes.
”Yeah, go dart with aunt.” Zhou Tong smiled as he looked at his sister, then took out an exquisite candy and placed it in his sister's hands.
Hearing that Zhou Tong was about to go out, Zhou Wan’er's small mouth immediately pouted, as if she had no appetite to grab the candy.
”How long will it take? Wan-Er was the only one in the house. It was so boring.
”It won't be long. We won't be far from here. We'll be leaving early tomorrow and will be back in three to five days.” I'll bring you something nice to eat when the time comes. ” Zhou Tong reached out his hands and lovingly rubbed his sister's head.
”The pinky.”
”Alright, pinky swear.” Zhou Tong crouched down and stretched out his pinky with Zhou Wan’er.
”The moon is so round tonight. Accompany me to the roof to see if it's okay.”
After pulling on the hook, Zhou Wan’er swung Zhou Tong's sleeves back and forth as he said those words.
”Alright, I'll accompany you to see the moon.”
Zhou Tong grinned, pointed at the tip of Zhou Wan’er's nose and turned to pick up the jade xiao from the table, then picked up Zhou Wan’er with one hand and walked out of the door.
jumped out of the house and with two leaps, he brought Zhou Wan’er along and landed on the roof.
In the entire young generation of the Zhou Family, only Zhou Tong was able to carry someone and easily climb up the roof.
Zhou Tong swept a patch of snow off the roof beam, laid a cushion on it and let Zhou Wan’er sit down, then swept it away himself and sat down.
The night was calm, a full moon hung high in the sky, and the air was filled with a soft light.
Zhou Tong picked up the jade flute in his hand and placed it in his mouth, then started to play the tune Zhou Wan’er liked to hear the most. This tune, had accompanied Zhou Wan’er through countless of such peaceful nights.
”Brother, come back early, otherwise I will miss you.”
Zhou Wan’er leaned on Zhou Tong's leg and muttered.
On the morning of the second day, Zhou Tong woke up early and did not fall asleep. This was a habit that Zhou Tong had developed over the years.
Walking out of the Zhou Mansion, the streets were still quiet. Zhou Tong followed a group of burly men in the middle, looking like a harmless mascot.
”Tong Tong, follow Auntie closely on the way, okay?” If you encounter any danger, you can just hide behind your aunt and not run around. ”
The leading beautiful woman with short hair patted Zhou Tong's head, her face filled with a doting expression. This person was Zhou Tong's aunt, the Zhou family's third clan elder, Zhou Yuqin.
”Alright, Aunt, don't worry.” Zhou Tong squinted and smiled as he nodded his head, secretly disagreeing with him.
The few Escort s present were all of Qi Refinement Realm, while Zhou Yuqin, who had the highest cultivation level, was of the fourth stage of qi generating state. Although the difference in cultivation was huge, Zhou Tong was not afraid of any of them in terms of actual combat.
With his current strength of more than 2000 jins of the ninth level of Qi Force, apart from his aunt Zhou Yuqin, no one else present could withstand a single strike from his sword.
Even if it was just a piece of scrap iron, it could be refined into high-quality steel. The concept of the strong and weak could only be considered a truth if one's cultivation was low. Only those who did not pursue the path of cultivation could follow this concept.
There were several fine horses in front of the gate. After giving out instructions to everyone, they all got on their horses under Zhou Yuqin's lead. They pressed a cart with a seal on it and set off along the road.
As Zhou Tong rode on the horse, he could not help but recall his previous life of riding and riding. His heart was filled with emotion.
There was a saying, ”Ten thousand pagodas in the Misty Mountain Sect, the nine heavens and the jade lake were all flashy; Mo Yan's path in front was very dangerous, he relied on his sword to ride his horse across the horizon.”
In the former world, he explored Gabriella and then asked Gloria about it. How cool was it to walk with a sword? Now that he was living a new life, he had to live another life.
After the escort team left the Cang Lan City, they took the escort car and went around the mountain.
