Chapter 271 Lin Hongyu Returns [Subscribe]

Su Yuzhen's arrival caused a lot of discussion among the Zhou family cultivators at the beginning, but not many people paid attention to this matter afterwards.

The main reason was that Lin Wan'er's sudden joining had already helped to give those ordinary Zhou family cultivators a heads-up, making them feel that this was not something particularly surprising.

Secondly, Su Yuzhen rarely went out, so not many Zhou family cultivators could see her.

Not many Zhou family monks even knew that she lived in Zhou Chun's courtyard.

As for those Zhou family cultivators who knew about this, they were all very knowledgeable and tactful and would not gossip about it.

On the contrary, Zhou Chun herself felt a little uncomfortable in her life from then on.

Whenever he returned to his own courtyard to practice or rest, he could feel Su Yuzhen's presence in the guest room, and sometimes he would even run into her in the courtyard.

Although Zhou Chun did not avoid it deliberately, she did not adapt so quickly.

There wasn't actually much verbal communication between the two.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, another two months had passed.

On this day, Lin Wan'er, who was responsible for training servants and assassins for the Zhou family, suddenly came to Zhou Chun with a happy look on her face and said that she had contacted his stepmother Lin Hongyu.

After learning about this, Zhou Chun instantly showed a happy smile on his face.

He immediately took Lin Wan'er to see Zhou Mingde and handed Lin Hongyu's letter to Zhou Mingde for inspection.

Not long after, Zhou Mingde said a few words and left the Zhou family gate alone.

After Zhou Mingde left the Zhou family's mountain gate, he quietly concealed his cultivation and walked southward. He walked for more than 500 miles before stopping in a mountain range.

Then he released his spiritual sense to detect and soon discovered Lin Hongyu's existence.

"Congratulations to Brother Lin for recovering from his injuries and returning successfully."

In a valley, Zhou Mingde looked at the beautiful woman in the red dress who had recovered completely in front of him and congratulated her with a smile on his face.

Facing his congratulations, Lin Hongyu said calmly, "You are too polite, Brother Zhou. I think you also know the reason why I invited you here today."

"During the battle a few years ago, I am grateful to you and the Zhou family for your help. I have promised you the reward, and now it is all here. Please check it."

As he said that, he took off a storage bag from his waist and threw it to Zhou Mingde.

After Zhou Mingde took the storage bag, he was not in a hurry to check what was inside.

Instead, he looked at her with a serious expression and asked, "The Hualong Sect is now an enemy rather than a friend to Fellow Daoist Lin. Where is Fellow Daoist Lin going to settle down next?"

"Oh, why do you ask this, Brother Zhou?"

Lin Hongyu's eyes flashed, as if she thought of something.

Seeing this, Zhou Mingde also said slowly: "Don't tell lies in front of a real person. Fellow Daoist Lin should understand what I mean. If Fellow Daoist Lin is interested, I will definitely do my best to make it happen!"

Hearing what he said, Lin Hongyu fell silent.

I saw her eyes twitching slightly and her gaze was a little vague, I don't know what she was thinking about.

After a while, he looked at Zhou Mingde calmly and said, "Even if he did it on purpose, so what? If I remember correctly, Brother Zhou was also strongly opposed to this matter at the beginning!"

Zhou Mingde heard this, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all and answered seriously: "The past was the past, and the present is the present."

"Back then, Fellow Daoist Lin was the guardian of the Hualong Sect. If my Zhou family dared to form an alliance with Fellow Daoist, my family would be destroyed in an instant."

"The Hualong Sect has now retreated to its headquarters and is struggling to survive. Fellow Daoist Lin has also escaped from his cage and gained freedom. Naturally, my Zhou family doesn't need to worry so much anymore."

"Moreover, Daoyi has now successfully opened up his Purple Palace, and has the company of his Green Dragon spirit pet. He is now more compatible with Fellow Daoist Lin in terms of cultivation strength."

Although Lin Hongyu already knew what he meant, she still felt a little emotional after hearing him say it in person.

After walking around in a small area for a while with an extremely restless mood, she looked at Zhou Mingde with a tense face and said, "I'm afraid that Brother Zhou can't make the decision on this matter. That guy has a heart of stone. He was so ruthless when he was just building his foundation. Now I'm afraid he looks down on me, the remnant of the Hualong Sect, even more!"

At the end, a hint of self-mockery appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Zhou Mingde waved his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, you have misunderstood Daoyi. Daoyi was so heartless to you because he was ashamed. He was ashamed that you had secretly plotted against him, and he resented you."

"Secondly, Daoyi was the head of the Zhou family at the time. The responsibilities on his shoulders made him dare not get involved with you, Daoist Fellow Lin, for fear of bringing disaster to the family."

"Third, Daoyi's cultivation was much lower than yours at that time, and he has always been a stubborn person. How could he possibly accept the idea of ​​becoming a Taoist partner with you?"

At this point, he changed the subject and continued, "But now it's different. Daoyi has successfully opened up the Purple Mansion, and fellow Daoist Lin has severed ties with the Hualong Sect. The most important obstacle for the two of you to become a Taoist couple no longer exists."

"Besides, as the old saying goes, a husband and wife are bound by love for a hundred days. After all, you and Daoyi have truly had the experience of dual cultivation. He definitely has feelings for you, but he never dared to show it before."

"As long as you, Fellow Daoist Lin, are willing to join the Zhou family and help them, and I continue to match them up, I will be able to slowly eliminate Daoyi's inner resistance and make him finally agree to become a Taoist partner with you, Fellow Daoist Lin!"

Zhou Mingde's words were full of confidence and well-reasoned, and it was obvious that he had been prepared for this.

After hearing what he said, Lin Hongyu couldn't help but fall into deep thought again.

There is no doubt that she was still somewhat moved by what Zhou Mingde said.

This is not because she loves Zhou Daoyi so much in her heart, or how much she wants to become a Taoist partner with Zhou Daoyi.

The main reason was that she knew in her heart that if she wanted to make further progress in the future, she would have to find a force to join. It was impossible for her to be a casual cultivator or to establish a force on her own.

Since we have to find a force to serve, the Zhou family is undoubtedly a good choice.

If she joins the Zhou family and becomes a Taoist partner with Zhou Daoyi, then she will be a true member of the Zhou family, which is something that other forces would find difficult to give her.

And the most crucial point is that the two Purple Mansion cultivators of the Zhou family are only in the initial Purple Mansion stage, and it is still a long way to go before they can condense the golden elixir. They will not compete with her for relevant resources in this regard.

After thinking about it, Lin Hongyu nodded to Zhou Mingde and said, "If Daoist Zhou can really convince him to agree to marry me as a Taoist partner, then there will be no problem for me to join the Zhou family."

"Friend Lin, what you mean is..."

Zhou Mingde looked at Lin Hongyu with suspicion, as if he had heard something.

"Yes, I will not go back to the Zhou family with you now. When you really convince him to agree, then let him come and take me back to the Zhou family in person!"

Lin Hongyu nodded slightly and expressed her plan.

After hearing her words, Zhou Mingde's joy suddenly disappeared. Although Zhou Mingde said nice things and looked confident.

In fact, he was less than 30% sure of persuading Zhou Daoyi.

According to his plan, he would first trick Lin Hongyu into going to Zhou's house and create a fait accompli.

In that case, for the sake of the overall situation, Zhou Daoyi would at least not clamor to drive Lin Hongyu away.

Later, when Zhou Daoyi gradually gets used to Lin Hongyu's presence, it will not be too late for him to bring the two of them together to become Taoist couples.

But Lin Hongyu was obviously a person who would not release the eagle until she saw the rabbit. She didn't care what he said at all, but only cared about what he did.

All I can say is that those who can cultivate to their level are not fools.

No one would be so foolish as to sell himself out just because of what the other person said!

Although he was very disappointed, Zhou Mingde did not show it too obviously. He just sighed with a hint of regret and said, "Well, since Fellow Daoist Lin cares so much about this, I don't have much to say. I wonder where Fellow Daoist Lin will stay next? How should I contact you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Hongyu immediately replied, "I will probably stay in Chengguo next. If you want to contact me, you can send someone to the Bailingfang Market in Nanlingzhou, Chengguo, to find a weapon refining shop called Qianrenfang. I have some friendship with the owner there, so he knows how to contact me."

After saying that, he left directly.

Zhou Mingde could only watch her leave and could not say anything to keep her.

"Ah! As expected, none of these younger generations can make us worry-free!"

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Zhou Mingde lowered his head to look at the storage bag in his hand. He finally had time to check what was inside.

There weren’t many things in the storage bag, at least not as much as Zhou Mingde had imagined.

However, the several important treasures that Lin Hongyu had promised were all in it.

These include a spiritual object to assist in opening up the Purple Mansion, two foundation-building pills, twelve monster eggs, and eight dragon blood spiritual objects.

There is no need to explain the uses of the first two things. Although the number of the twelve monster eggs is not large, they are all excellent dragon-born monsters.

And none of the eight dragon blood spiritual objects is less valuable than the 400-year-old dragon blood ginseng that Zhou Chun once gave to the Silver Lightning Thunder Python.

Therefore, after checking all the treasures in the storage bag, Zhou Mingde smiled again.

Satisfied, he transferred all the treasures in the storage bag to his own regular storage bag, and then went straight back to the Zhou family mountain gate to share his harvest with Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Chun and others.

"According to what was agreed upon, this [Ghost Face Soul Mushroom] belongs to Daoquan for use."

"As for these two foundation-building pills, Zhengchun, you will arrange them."

"Let the elders and tribesmen decide whether to exchange these twelve monster eggs. If no one wants to exchange them, we will hatch them and release them into the beast garden."

"As for these eight dragon blood spiritual objects, I will keep them for now and deal with them later depending on the situation."

Inside the cave, after Zhou Mingde took out the various treasures he had obtained from Lin Hongyu and showed them to Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun, he took the opportunity to talk about his own arrangements for these things.

In fact, several people already had a rough idea about the arrangement of these things, and Zhou Mingde was just going through the motions at this time.

However, after Zhou Mingde finished speaking, Zhou Chun said, “I suggest that you don’t rush to take out these two foundation-building pills. Otherwise, the continuous appearance of foundation-building pills in my Zhou family will inevitably arouse suspicion and give the clan members the illusion that they were too easy to obtain.”

"Well, Zhengchun, your concerns are not unreasonable. It's up to you to decide."

Zhou Mingde pondered for a moment, then nodded and agreed to Zhou Chun's suggestion.

Then he said to Zhou Chun: "According to the time, the various elixirs and magical instruments promised by the three major sects should be almost finished. Zhengchun, you might as well go and talk to Miss Yuzhen about this matter and see if you can get some inside information in advance."

"If there really is a spiritual object that can help open up the Purple Palace, our Zhou family must strive to get one!"

At the beginning, Zhou Daoyi used two spiritual objects to assist in opening up the Purple Mansion, and only then was he able to successfully break through to the Purple Mansion stage.

Zhou Mingde obviously wanted to give Zhou Daoquan the same treatment, which could be regarded as compensation for having taken away Zhou Daoquan's opportunity before.

Naturally, Zhou Chun couldn't help but pay attention to this matter.

He immediately responded, "Yes, I will find a chance to talk to Miss Su."

After that, he left the cave with the foundation-building pill and the monster egg.

After Zhou Chun left, Zhou Mingde looked at Zhou Daoyi who had been silent beside him. After thinking for a while, he brought up the matter of Lin Hongyu.

"I have talked to Fellow Daoist Lin. She still has some feelings for you, Daoyi. As long as you are willing to become her Taoist partner, she is willing to join the Zhou family and serve the Zhou family for the rest of her life!"

Without any beating around the bush, Zhou Mingde went straight to the point of what happened.

He knew that there was no way he could fool Zhou Daoyi, nor did he want to.

After hearing his words, Zhou Daoyi replied calmly, "Please forgive me for not being able to do this. I don't think it will be a good thing for the Zhou family if she joins. How do you know if she will become the second Yu Jinghua in the future?"

"That's different. After she joins our Zhou family, even if she succeeds in forming a pill, she won't be able to take charge of our Zhou family like Yu Jinghua did. No one will listen to her. Her past background is her biggest weakness!"

Zhou Mingde shook his head slightly and expressed his own opinion in response to Zhou Daoyi's concerns.

"Then there is no way I can become her Taoist partner!"

As Zhou Daoyi spoke, he bowed to Zhou Mingde and left.

Seeing this, Zhou Mingde could only smile bitterly.

He knew it would be like this.

Zhou Daoyi had rejected Lin Hongyu many times before. Now it was not so easy for him to invite Lin Hongyu back to the Zhou family to be his Taoist partner.

But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, Zhou Mingde will still work hard on this matter.

On the other side, after Zhou Chun left Zhou Mingde’s cave with the things, he quickly called all the foundation-building cultivators in the family to Zhongping Hall.

"Recently, the family has obtained a batch of high-quality monster eggs. Elders, please take a look to see if there are any that catch your eye. If necessary, you can pick one to take to incubate and cultivate."

I am speechless. I have just seen signs of recovery, but my parents at home have both tested positive, and they can’t buy medicine. I have to pack up and go back to my hometown tomorrow. By the way, I will bring back a few ibuprofen pills and some unfinished medicine that I was reluctant to take to save them!
