Chapter 955: Self-righteous _1
âWhere is the snow listening tower?â Xia qingchen asked.
âFirst Street in the Central District. Why are you asking about it?â Zhou jingxuan asked.
âIâm just curious, so Iâm asking.â Xia qingchen spoke as if nothing had happened.
âOh.â Zhou jingxuan didnât think too much about it and brought Xia qingchen to the Zhou Manor in a happy mood.
The Zhou Manor occupied an area of several dozen square miles. The left and right courtyard walls stretched as far as the eye could see. There were countless guards at the bottom of the courtyard walls, making it difficult to enter.
âNot bad, itâs more imposing than the palace.â Xia qingchen praised.
The palace of the Liang realm was not as big as the Zhou mansion.
âYoung master Wang is making fun of me.â Zhou jingxuan replied, â the Zhou residence is an aristocratic family of alchemists. Most of the land in the residence is used for alchemy. Hence, it may look big, but it is not very prosperous.
according to the power of the family, the Zhou mansion can only be regarded as a first-class family in the middle cloud realm. The real rich and powerful families belong to the nine Marquises.
The middle cloud realm was different from the cool realm.
The cool territory was divided into 108 regions, but the zhongyun territory conferred the world to nine powerful ministers who had saved the country and made them Marquises.
That was a true super clan, controlling a territory, holding a hundred thousand soldiers, and the clan was passed down for generations!
âYouâre too humble.â Xia qingchen looked at the heavy traffic at the entrance, at the various famous people waiting to pay their respects, and smiled.
The Zhou mansionâs status in the middle cloud realm was definitely not low!
âLetâs go see my father first.â âI will definitely make him reward you handsomely,â the blue flower Fairy said.
In the Zhou mansion.
In front of a study.
âMiss, youâre back too?â The Butler at the door said.
Also?
âIs father inside?â Zhou jingxuan asked in surprise.
yes, young master is back as well. His friends are here too. The Butler said.
âOh.â Zhou jingxuan pushed the door open and entered the brightly lit study room. A kind, chubby middle-aged man was chatting and laughing with two young people.
The middle-aged man was dressed in silk and had a chubby face. He was Zhou bingkun, the Lord of Zhou mansion and Zhou jingxuanâs father. He was also one of the most skilled alchemists in zhongyun realm.
His strength had already reached the level of refining quasi-spirit medicine.
As for the two young men, one of them was in his early twenties and looked somewhat similar to Zhou jingxuan. However, he did not have Zhou jingxuanâs otherworldly temperament and was only dressed more luxuriously.
He was the son of the Zhou family, Zhou jingxuanâs half-brother, Zhou xingyun.
As for the other one, he was a young man who wasnât even twenty years old yet, a friend of Zhou xingyun.
He talked and laughed with Zhou bingkun, not at all restrained by Zhou bingkunâs high status.
as expected of the son of the malignant tumor Commander-in-Chief. Heâs calm and composed. Not bad, not bad! Zhou bingkun smiled kindly and was full of praise.
It turned out that Zhou xingyunâs friend was the son of the famous Southern Army Corps âcommander, Qiu zifan.
Qiu zifan smiled and said humbly, ââUncle, youâre too kind,â
Zhou bingkun was very interested in it, ââI heard from xingyun that youâre well-read in military books and have a profound understanding of The Art of War. Youâre already able to conduct a sandbox exercise with your father, the malignant tumor commander?â
The so-called sandbox drill referred to the two sides simulating an attack and defense battle on the map.
father has been fighting for his entire life and is very experienced, â Qiu zifan said guiltily. I lost most of the time when I rehearsed with him.
âYou can still win against your father?â Zhou bingkun was surprised.
The sandbox drill was a test of oneâs theoretical standard. It was incredible that Qiu zifan could defeat the malignant tumor commander at such a young age!
In Qiu zifanâs expression, it was hard to hide a trace of self-satisfaction, but on the surface, he pretended to be humble. âItâs only one or two matches. Itâs nothing.â
Zhou bingkun was full of praise,âone or two is already amazing!â Your father is the commander of a region, and he has reached the Acme of perfection in using troops to fight. Itâs difficult for ordinary people to even think of a draw with him.â
âFather, you donât know this, but the outside world calls Qiu zifanâ little military advisor â!â Zhou xingyun laughed.
âYoung heroes! In the future, when we enter dusk, we will definitely become great, and our achievements will not lose to fatherâs!â Zhou bingkun admired him very much.
The Zhou father and son had a tacit understanding and did not mention the recent defeat of the cancer commander to avoid embarrassment for Qiu zifan.
youâre too kind. My goal is to become a commander like my father. Iâm already satisfied. Qiu zifan said humbly.
The group of them chatted and laughed. Suddenly, Zhou jingxuan brought Xia qingchen in.
âXuan âer is back too?â âI heard from your brother that you defeated Li henshui, the fourth-ranked heavenâs favorite of the cool territory, during the Battle at the border?â Zhou bingkunâs smile widened.
Compared to Zhou xingyunâs return, he personally went out to welcome him. When Zhou jingxuan returned, he didnât even get up. In contrast, he seemed a little cold.
âIt was a narrow victory. Iâm sorry to disappoint you, father.â Zhou jingxuan glanced at her brother Zhou xingyun, who glanced at her indifferently before looking away without any expression.
The relationship between the two of them could not be considered harmonious.
After all, they were not born from the same mother, so it was difficult for them to have the feelings of biological siblings.
âNot bad. That Li henshuiâs strength is not bad.â âXingyun and you are both my pride, Iâm proud of you.â Zhou bingkun nodded.
Among the five proud sons of heaven in the middle cloud realm, the Zhou family had two of them. It was a unique and glorious scene.
However, his praise for Zhou jingxuan was obviously much paler.
Zhou jingxuanâs peaceful face flashed with a trace of undetectable loneliness.
In his fatherâs eyes, there was only his brother!
Her brother was not only a man, but he was also more talented than her. He was the third-ranked heavenly talent in the middle cloud realm. In addition, he was good at currying favor with others, so he had better connections than her in all aspects.
That was why his father had always been biased towards him. In comparison, Zhou jingxuan was not valued.
âThis is?â Zhou bingkun smiled as he looked at the unfamiliar Xia qingchen.
Zhou jingxuan then smiled and introduced, ââWang Kai, a capable man I met on the road.â
Wang Kai?
Zhou bingkun looked at his son, Zhou xingyun, with an inquiring look.
He didnât know as much as his son about the young peopleâs circle.
Zhou xingyun shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of Wang Kaiâs name.
In the capital, as long as it was someone of the same age who was slightly famous, he would know them. Even if he didnât know them, he would have heard of their names.
However, he had never heard of Wang Kaiâs name.
âYoung master Wang, youâre a capable man?â Zhou bingkun tried to guess who Wang Kai was.
This was the first time her daughter had brought a man home.
âSecond-grade secret agent,â Xia qingchen replied.
A secret agent?
Isnât that the special Forces under Twilight?
Furthermore, a level two secret agent was not low, but not high either. It was only equivalent to the thousand cricket cavalry of the cool realm.
Zhou bingkunâs eyes revealed a trace of surprise, but he hid it well, ââBeing a spy is good, being a spy has a bright future.â
Then, he looked at his daughter, hoping that she would explain.
Why did he bring a nobody back?
The Zhou mansion was a big courtyard, and all the people who came and went were high ranking officials and nobles. Wouldnât bringing a small figure like Wang Kai lower the Zhou mansionâs threshold?
Zhou jingxuan said, â young master Wangâs skills are outstanding. He has great potential in martial arts. Most importantly, he saved my life before. Thatâs why I want to recommend him to you.
She had brought Xia qingchen back precisely because she hoped that her father would give her some help in establishing some connections.
As long as his father was sincere in helping him, Xia qingchen would definitely be able to improve even further in the twilight.
Oh?
Zhou bingkun, Zhou xingyun and even Qiu zifan were all shocked.
Zhou jingxuan was a four-senses powerhouse of a major astral plane, yet she actually needed Wang Kai to save her.
âSo itâs because you saved my daughterâs life!â Zhou bingkun stood up immediately, he cupped his fists and said, ââIâm sorry, Iâm sorry!â
thereâs no need to be polite, â Xia qingchen replied. itâs just a small matter.
Zhou bingkun sized up Xia qingchen curiously and said, ââSince you were able to save my daughter, your cultivation must be very profound, right?â
If that was the case, he had to win over such a talent.
