Chapter 79 Important clues, lock the target [fourth update, please subscribe]

"Reporting to the clan leader, I have completed your instructions and have conducted open and secret investigations on all the clan members on the list and have made relevant records."

In the "Zhongping Hall", after Zhou Chun had investigated the last few people on his list, he came here with all the investigation reports to report to the clan leader Zhou Daoyi.

After hearing what he said, Zhou Daoyi immediately looked at him and asked, "Have you found out anything? Do you have any suspects?"

"I am incompetent and I didn't feel that there was anything wrong with any of the tribe members' answers."

Zhou Chun lowered his head deeply and gave his answer.

What he said was true, but also helpless.

Because Zhou Jiahui's disappearance could not be made public, he could not use this as a reason for his investigation, so many things could not be discussed freely.

Naturally, the information obtained from this investigation could not provide him with much reference.

Under such circumstances, he naturally did not dare to easily identify any tribesman as a suspect, so as to avoid causing any misunderstandings.

"It seems that you still have a lot of concerns in your heart."

Zhou Daoyi looked at Zhou Chun with his eyes slightly narrowed, and said what was in his mind.

Then he nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it's normal for you to have concerns since this is your first time dealing with this kind of thing, but I can't blame you."

Zhou Chun didn't say anything, which was almost equivalent to tacitly agreeing to this.

So Zhou Daoyi quickly said, "Then leave the records of your investigation. I will take the time to check them carefully."

After that, he looked at Zhou Chun with encouragement and said, "Don't feel too stressed. Not finding anything is a good thing. It may just mean there are no traitors in the clan."

"Yes, I remember it."

Zhou Chun nodded respectfully in response.

Seeing this, Zhou Daoyi waved his hand and said, "Then go back and rest for a day or two. I will arrange some things for you to do later."

"Yes, junior, please take your leave."

Zhou Chun responded, then left the "Zhongping Hall" and left Pagoda Peak.

However, after returning to his residence, Zhou Chun did not rest, but lay on the bed, recalling over and over again in his mind the surveys and questions he had conducted on the tribesmen over the past few days.

In his heart, he still really wanted to find out the truth.

It is not only to avenge the Nineteenth Aunt Zhou Jiahui, but also to keep the secret of "Touch of Despair".

Although it seems that he will not have the chance to return to the market in the short term.

However, the now best-selling poison "Touch of Despair" is undoubtedly one of his "political achievements".

If Lingshouzhai can maintain its market position and achieve great performance with this poison,

Then Zhou Chun, the person who pushed this matter forward, will definitely be liked and valued by the vast majority of Zhou family cultivators and Zhou family seniors who will benefit from it.

Therefore, Zhou Chun is definitely the person who least wants “Touch of Despair” to be imitated.

But the truth is not so easy to find.

Zhou Chun lay on the bed and thought for a long time. His head felt a little dizzy, but he still had no clue.

At this moment, he felt that the formation outside the yard was triggered by someone.

"It's Brother Yong, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Outside the courtyard gate, Zhou Chun saw clearly the face of the person knocking on the door, and immediately forced a smile and greeted the visitor.

But Zhou Zhengyong frowned slightly when he saw the forced smile on his face. He looked at him with concern and asked, "Thirteenth brother, you seem to be a little tired. Did something happen in the family? I heard that you seem to be very busy recently."

"It's nothing, don't think too much, Brother Yong."

Zhou Chun smiled, but it was difficult to say more to Zhou Zhengyong, so he could only change the subject and said, "Brother Yong, please tell me why you came to see me."

When Zhou Zhengyong saw this, he seemed to have realized something and did not ask any more questions.

I just nodded along with what he said and said, "I came to see you today for nothing serious. It's just that after learning that your sister-in-law is pregnant, my father-in-law and mother-in-law came to visit her."

At this point, he looked at Zhou Chun with a look of pain in his heart and said, "Then, in order to entertain these two elders, I specially brought some good things over, so I would like to invite you, my thirteenth brother, to come over and try them."

After hearing what he said, Zhou Chun was slightly surprised, then he smiled from the bottom of his heart and looked at him and said, "Sister-in-law is pregnant? Congratulations, Brother Yong!"

"Hehehe, of course not. We focus on efficiency when doing things!"

Zhou Zhengyong smiled proudly, his face full of joy.

Zhou Chun was also really happy for him at this moment, and immediately nodded and said, "In that case, Brother Yong, please wait a moment. I will pack up and go with you to see your sister-in-law."

After delaying for a while, Zhou Chun washed his face and tidied his appearance, then followed Zhou Zhengyong to his home.

When he arrived at Zhou Zhengyong's home, Zhou Chun first greeted the guests, Sun Lianzhong and his wife, then he patted the storage bag on his waist, took out a brocade box and handed it to Zhou Zhengyong's Taoist partner Sun Yujiao.

With a smile on his face, he said, "I am very happy to hear that my sister-in-law is pregnant. There are seven magical dates in this box, so I will give them to my sister-in-law to nourish her body. I hope she will accept them."

Hearing his words, Sun Yujiao was slightly stunned and couldn't help but look at her Taoist partner Zhou Zhengyong.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhengyong immediately smiled and nodded, saying: "Since it is Thirteenth Brother's intention, Yujiao, you should accept it."

Sun Yujiao no longer hesitated and said with a smile, "Then I, your sister-in-law, will thank you, Thirteenth Brother, on behalf of the baby in your belly."

After saying that, he took the brocade box, put it into the storage bag without even looking at it, and then invited Zhou Chun to take a seat.

Zhou Zhengyong really spent a lot of money to entertain his father-in-law and mother-in-law who rarely visited his home.

On the dining table, many of the ingredients are spiritual-grade ingredients that contain pure spiritual power, and they are usually only used when the Zhou family holds certain banquets.

Eating this meal may only have a small effect on improving one's personal cultivation, but the taste is very good.

Zhou Chun could see that although Sun Lianzhong complained many times about his son-in-law spending money recklessly before the meal, he was obviously very happy and in a good mood while eating.

After several people cleared the food on the table together, Zhou Zhengyong brought a pot of spiritual tea like offering a treasure.

He took out two teacups and poured two cups of light green tea with a rich aroma. He respectfully picked up the two cups of tea and handed them to Sun Lianzhong and his wife, saying:

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, please try our Zhou family's specialty honey flower tea. This is a magical tea that is almost extinct in the Zhou family. I have spent a lot of effort to get a pill from an elder to present to you!" Sun Lianzhong and his wife were originally attracted by the fragrant tea. After hearing what he said, they immediately looked at him with relief and satisfaction in their eyes.

He was obviously very satisfied with his son-in-law's filial piety.

"Haha, then we won't be polite."

Sun Lianzhong chuckled and immediately took the tea and took a sip.

Then he closed his eyes slightly, revealing a look of great enjoyment.

After a long while, he opened his eyes with satisfaction and praised: "Good tea! It is really good tea!"

After saying that, he couldn't help but take another sip.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhengyong also showed a happy smile on his face.

He immediately fetched another teacup, poured a cup of tea into it, handed it to Zhou Chun and said, "Thirteenth brother, have a cup too. I guess you haven't had this honey flower tea for a long time!"

“This tea fragrance…”

Zhou Chun stared at the teacup handed to him by Zhou Zhengyong. He did not reach out to take it. Instead, he closed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought, as if he had thought of something.

Zhou Zhengyong was also very puzzled by this performance, and immediately asked: "Thirteenth brother, Thirteenth brother, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with this tea?"

"No, there's nothing wrong with the tea. It's just that I suddenly thought of something related to this honey flower tea."

Zhou Chun opened his eyes, shook his head slightly, then reached out to take the tea from Zhou Zhengyong's hand and took a sip.

Good tea indeed!
This was the first time Zhou Chun drank "Honey Flower Tea" after coming to this world. The taste was indeed amazing, much better than the several kinds of spiritual tea he had drunk before, and the effect was the same.

But now is not the time to drink tea.

After Zhou Chun savored it for a while, he looked at Zhou Zhengyong with a sharp gaze and asked, "Brother Yong, where did you get this honey flower tea? I remember that this thing should have been out of stock in the family since we separated, right?"

When Zhou Zhengyong heard what he said, he sighed and said, "Yes, without the Jade Spirit Bee and the Qingning Tea Tree, our Zhou family can no longer make this honey flower tea. Now only a few elders in the family still have some stock, and they are reluctant to drink it!"

At this point, he was not afraid of embarrassment and revealed his shortcomings: "This pill of honey flower tea today was obtained by me, my brother, relying on the face of my father who died many years ago, and using the unborn child in Yujiao's belly to persuade her, and I begged Uncle Jiu for a long time!"

"You kid... you really have a lot of heart!!"

Sun Lianzhong, who was standing by, was also moved after hearing what Zhou Zhengyong said, and looked at his son-in-law with eyes full of love.

Zhou Chun didn't care about that at this time. After listening to Zhou Zhengyong's answer, he immediately showed a thoughtful look and muttered to himself: "So, even an elder in the family like Uncle Jiu can't drink a spiritual thing like honey flower tea often now!"

“How can I drink it often?”

Zhou Zhengyong sighed and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Let alone Uncle Nine, I guess even the clan leader and the great elders can't drink this honey flower tea often now. I guess they will only take out a little to savor it when entertaining important guests or on their birthdays!"

"Is that so?"

Zhou Chun muttered to himself, then suddenly raised his head and bowed to Zhou Zhengyong, saying, "Brother Yong, please forgive me. I have something important to discuss and need to see the clan leader right away. I'll excuse myself first."

After that, he bowed to Sun Lianzhong and his wife and said, "Uncle Sun, Aunt Lin, please enjoy your meal. I will take my leave now."

Without giving Zhou Zhengyong a chance to ask for reasons or to try to persuade him to stay, Zhou Chun quickly left Zhou Zhengyong's home amidst his family's astonished and suspicious gazes.

After staring at his departing back for a long while, Zhou Zhengyong finally came to his senses and quickly explained to Sun Lianzhong and his wife, "Father-in-law, please forgive me. Thirteenth brother has always been very steady and prudent, and knows how to behave. I'm afraid he really encountered something this time, and it was definitely not his intention to neglect you two!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Lianzhong immediately waved his hand and said, "Zhengyong, you don't need to say anything more. We are all watching what happened just now. Nephew Zhengchun must have something important to do. We should not interfere and disturb him."

"Father-in-law, I hope you understand!"

Zhou Zhengyong breathed a sigh of relief, then hurriedly picked up the teapot to refill the tea for the two elders and began to serve them attentively.

Besides, after Zhou Chun left Zhou Zhengyong's house, he directly summoned his flying magic weapon and flew towards Pagoda Peak without delaying for a moment.

When he saw the clan leader Zhou Daoyi in the "Zhongping Hall", he immediately bowed to him and said, "Clan leader, I just found an important clue and would like to ask you to help me solve this puzzle!"

"Oh, what do you want to ask?"

Zhou Daoyi looked at him in surprise and was immediately attracted by his words.

"I would like to ask the clan leader, given your status as the Grand Elder, can you still enjoy spiritual tea like honey flower tea regularly?"

Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Daoyi seriously and immediately asked the question in his mind.

"That's definitely not possible. Even when we were in Feng Country, this seat and the Grand Elder could only get three to five bottles of tea pills every year. We had to give some of that as gifts to fellow Taoists we made friends with outside the sect, give some to the younger generation, and keep some to entertain other distinguished guests."

"If you really count it, the number of times I can enjoy honey flower tea alone is probably only a few times a year!"

Zhou Daoyi shook his head slightly and answered Zhou Chun's question in great detail.

Then he also had a flash of suspicion in his eyes, and looked at Zhou Chun with a puzzled look and asked: "Zhengchun, why did you suddenly ask this question? Could the important clue you found be related to this honey flower tea?"

After hearing his answer, Zhou Chun suddenly became more confident about his guess.

Hearing him ask this, Zhou Chun took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone: "Patriarch, please understand. I think I may know who sold out the family secrets and who betrayed the family and murdered Aunt Nineteen!!"

"Who is it? Tell him who he is!"

Zhou Daoyi's face darkened, and he looked at Zhou Chun with a cold light in his eyes and asked the man's name in a deep voice.

"Didn't the clan leader just ask me why I asked about honey flower tea?"

"In fact, there is one thing I forgot to mention in my previous investigation report. When I was questioning Brother Seven in his study, I opened the teapot on his desk and found the unique aroma of honey flower tea."

"It's just that I haven't had honey flower tea for a long time, and I didn't recognize it at the time. It was only today, thanks to Brother Ten, that I drank a cup of honey flower tea from him, and then I remembered where the fragrance in Brother Seven's teapot came from!"

"Patriarch, you also said that even in Feng Country, Zhou family foundation-building cultivators like you could not enjoy honey flower tea often. So now, after such a long time, how can Seventh Brother still enjoy honey flower tea alone in a place like the study? Where does his honey flower tea come from?"

"I contacted my Seventh Brother and he happened to be out on the same day that the Nineteenth Aunt left the family. I dare not say that these two things have nothing to do with each other!"

"There is one more thing. I once accidentally saw Brother Seven coming out of the Spirit Beast Pavilion in the market. I also asked Uncle Sixteen at that time. He can testify that Brother Seven did not go to our Spirit Beast Pavilion when he went to the market. I think this is unreasonable!"

Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Daoyi with a serious expression, and spoke of his own findings and speculations in a low voice.

Although he did not say it explicitly, his words clearly revealed who that person was.

Now it depends on how Zhou Daoyi views his speculation.
