Chapter 96 Five (2/2)
Zhou Qing looked at the slender youth in the hall, happiness overflowing in his eyes. He walked towards Zhou Yuan and gently patted the latter’s shoulders. “Yuan’er, I really have to thank you this time.”
If Zhou Yuan had not gained the support of Wei Canglan and the Black Venom King, the only option left would be a battle to the death with king Qi.
Zhou Yuan grinned. “Father has shouldered such a huge burden for so many years, it is only right for me to help ease it a little.”
How could he not know Zhou Qing’s pains. The Great Wu Empire’s rebellion from many years ago had shattered the dignity of the royal clan. Even though they had managed to painstakingly preserve the Great Zhou Empire, it was not so easy to recover the lost dignity.
In such a situation, the royal clan would naturally fall into a decline. If it was not for Zhou Qing’s bitter persistence, their clan would have disappeared long ago.
For the sake of the Great Zhou Empire’s safety, he had given in time and time again to the unreasonable Qi Manor, swallowing all the terrible resultant feelings into the pits of his stomach without even the slightest grumble.
As he gazed at Zhou Yuan, even the eyes of someone like Zhou Qing could not help but turn a little red as he mumbled. “Yuan’er has finally grown up.”
“Father, since Qi Yuan still dares to rebel even after finding out that I have gained the support of Wei Canglan and the Black Venom King, it is likely that he has something to fall back on. We must take precautions against this.” Zhou Yuan expression turned a little grave as he cautioned.
Zhou Qing nodded. “If I am not wrong, I’m afraid that the Great Wu Empire has given him a tremendous amount of support.”
Zhou Yuan’s eyes seemed to turn as deep as the night. “I’ve heard that news of my performance during the class ranking exam has reached the ears of the Great Wu Empire’s crown prince. It is because he cannot be bothered to personally deal with this that he seeks to borrow king Qi’s hand to eliminate me.”
Zhou Qing gnashed his teeth as murder flashed in his eyes. “Don’t worry Yuan’er. With Wei Canglan and the Black Venom King on our side, the royal clan now possess three Alpha-Origin experts, a force powerful enough to control the situation.”
Zhou Yuan chuckled upon hearing this. “It is more accurate to say five.”
Zhou Qing was taken aback.
Thus, Zhou Yuan told Zhou Qing about Yaoyao and Tuntun.
“If not for Yaoyao and Tuntun, I’m afraid that we will not have been able to subdue the Black Venom King and even Wei Canglan might not have bothered with this rebellion.”
Truthfully speaking, subjugating Wei Canglan and the Black Venom King had been done through force. The only difference was that Wei Canglan’s situation had been gentler, while the Black Venom King’s direct and rough.
Zhou Qing sighed. “Yaoyao is truly the benefactor of our Zhou clan. I really do not know how we will be able to repay her.”
Zhou Yuan smiled. “If father wishes to thank big sis Yaoyao, give her all of the good alcohol you have been saving. I’m sure that she will be very happy.”
A small smile emerged on Zhou Qing’s lips. “Okay, they will be given to her.”
Father and son exchanged a look and burst out into laughter.
After laughing for a while, Zhou Yuan raised his head and looked outside the hall into the distance, where black clouds seemed to be gathering as he slowly said, “Don’t worry father, the Great Zhou Empire will be fine.”
“I was too young back then, and could only allow both of you to protect me without being able to do anything myself. But it’s different now…”
“Now, if they still dare to do anything, they will have to first ask if I agree.”
The smile on Zhou Yuan’s face seemed to contain an endless frostiness.
“All that they’ve taken away will sooner or later be taken back by us…”
“And now, we will begin with Qi Manor…”Previous ChapterNext Chapte
