Chapter 776 Adoption and Engagement

This incident became one of the legendary stories passed down in the city.

The young man of a noble family who was living among the people and suffering from oppression was unexpectedly found by his family and instantly became a phoenix.

Then those "evil people" and "bad guys" who offended him would naturally get the punishment they deserved.

……

In fact, the few people who attacked Zhou You were really punished.

Jia Jinzhong and Jia Ruyi were strong men and the backbone of the family. In order to save the family, they were ordered to commit suicide to atone their sins.

In order to compensate Zhou You for his "mental damage", Jia paid half of his family property. Due to the heavy losses, they could no longer gain a foothold in the local area and had to move their family to the more barren Haiming Prefecture, while also staying away from Beixuan Prefecture.

This punishment is quite severe.

And it’s just an appetizer!
Qi Tianmen is related to the Qi family in Dijing. The news has not yet been passed back, so the subsequent impact cannot be seen for the time being.

But looking at his pale face and dejected back as he walked home, his ending will not be good.

On Zhu Ruoxuan's side, Lord Beixuan and Lord Kuiguang patted their chests and promised to give an explanation and not let Zhou You suffer any injustice.

As for the Medicine King Sect...

"My dear husband, it is difficult for me to say this, but my Hua family has received great favors, so I have to pass on the message for you!"

That night, Hua Youxing came to see Zhou You with a complicated expression.

Qi Fengzi beside her was filled with shock. How could this happen? Just by going out, Zhou You became a member of the Zhou family in Dijing, and a descendant of the master's bloodline. This was an extremely noble status.

Although Qi Fengzi is completely devoted to Zhou You, she has developed a mindset from growing up in the Qi family that makes her believe that family status is extremely important.

Although Zhou You has top-notch talent and ability, his disadvantage is that he is born into a common family.

Qi Fengzi marrying him as a concubine could be a big deal or a small one, and last time Qi Tianmen took the opportunity to get upset with him.

Now that Zhou You has returned to his ancestral home and become a member of the Zhou family in Dijing, the last trace of hidden danger has disappeared.

"Several elders guarding the tripod have joined forces to plead for mercy. They want you to say a few good words and not to embarrass the Medicine King Sect!"

Zhou You got angry when he thought of this. He didn't take the Yaowang Sect seriously at all. It was these old guys who were always aggressive.

He sought cooperation with Lu Zhigang to circumvent the ban by the Medicine King Sect. Is this attitude tolerant enough?
Suddenly, the Medicine King Sect joined forces with several noble families to launch an attack, accusing him of impersonating a noble family and fighting him to death!
At this time, seeing that the situation was not good, he came to beg for mercy again.

Zhou You did not forget that when Hua Youxing was banned, she was in a difficult situation and was criticized by the Yaowang Sect, who accused her of being ungrateful.

Now he shamelessly asks her to build bridges and pave the way...

"Take it easy. It's not convenient these few days."

Hua Youxing nodded neatly, "I'll go back right away!"

The Daqian Martial Arts School has now become the most lively place in the city, and all the important figures in the city want to visit it.

The owner of the museum, Zhou You, is now the most distinguished son of a noble family in the city, even above Liu Fengji.

Zhou Nanwang was visiting home, talking with Old Man Zhou about his ancestral relatives.

Poor old man Zhou, when he met his 'great uncle' who was many generations older than him, he almost had to kneel down and talk to him the whole time.

Zhou Nanwang also realized that Zhou You's parents were law-abiding common people. This reminded him of his own background, and he was filled with emotion for a moment.

"Zhou You, come here. I was just talking to your parents about taking you to Dijing for a while."

Zhou Nanwang brought Zhou You back home and enthusiastically called him over to talk.

Zhu Qinghua, as a junior, stood nearby, smiling gently and quietly. When she saw Zhou You coming, she bowed slightly to him.

Zhou You thought to himself that she was more beautiful in person than in the picture album, no wonder she was recognized as the most beautiful woman in the north.

The two of them met the same as before. Although Zhou You had saved Zhu Qinghua's life before, they were still clearly divided into upper and lower classes, but now Zhou You was on the same level as her. "You'er, your great uncle wants to promote you, we can't let him down. We have to follow our parents' ideas."

Zhou You listened and nodded seriously, "That's what I think too!"

In order to trace his roots, Zhou You had to go back to Beijing, and he was mentally prepared for this.

"One more thing!"

Zhou Nanwang said calmly, "Zhou Gan, that beast, framed you and insulted Qinghua. This matter has touched my bottom line. In the past, I could tolerate it because he was useless, but not now!"

He nodded towards Zhu Qinghua, "I wanted to cancel the engagement, but I have a better idea!"

Zhu Qinghua seemed to have guessed something, her heart pounding, could it be...

"...Zhou You, you will complete the marriage contract and marry Qinghua!"

Zhou You stood up resolutely, "Great Uncle, this won't do. I have a wife and we have a deep relationship. I cannot divorce her and marry again!"

Zhou's father and mother were terrified when they saw this. They already knew that Zhou Nanwang was a very important person and were afraid that their son had offended him.

Seeing his resolute attitude, Zhou Nanwang smiled and explained, "It's good that you don't forget your roots!"

"Qinghua is a beautiful lady, is that wronging you?"

Zhou You said seriously, "I only marry a wife if she is compatible with me. If I were after beauty, I wouldn't have only one wife and one concubine."

This is true. Despite his status as a powerful warrior, the number of his wives and concubines is not as many as that of many martial artists.

With Zhu Qinghua's identity, as the legitimate daughter of Beixuan Zhu, she must be the legal wife no matter what.

Therefore, Zhou You refused to give in. If he agreed, Hua Youxing would have no way to survive!
"You are such a loyal and righteous person, Zhou You. Do you really think that I can't touch you?"

Zhou Nanwang was furious. "You are not a master yet, so you are not qualified to bargain with me. Do you believe that I can kill you with one palm, and it will be as if I have never seen you today?"

At this time, Zhu Qinghua's face turned slightly red and she pleaded, "Father, please calm down. I think that what Master Zhou did is what a responsible man should do."

If Zhou You coveted her beauty and status and divorced his wife and remarried, he would be despised and looked down upon by Zhu Qinghua.

"Pfft!"

Father Zhou knelt down and begged for mercy, "Grandfather, spare my life. You'er is ignorant and he is still young..."

Zhou Nanwang stared at Zhou You, with all the grandmaster's aura pressing down on him, like a tiger intimidating a child.

But Zhou You never gave in or showed any weakness, and he resisted the pressure from the other side.

"it is good!"

Zhou Nanwang exhaled, "You made a good choice."

He waved at Zhu Qinghua, "Qinghua, I'm sorry for wronging you. Zhou You is unlucky not to marry you. I have an adopted son whose character and ability are no worse than his. Are you willing to marry him?"

"Qinghua is willing!"

Zhu Qinghua's smile was somewhat sad, but marrying Zhou Nanwang's son was her destined fate.

I just don’t know what kind of person the adoptive father and adopted son, whom I have never met, is. Can he resist the oppression of the master and elders for the sake of his wife like Zhou You did?

When Zhou You saw Zhu Qinghua's appearance, he felt a little bit sorry for her. He thought that as the legitimate daughter of Beixuan Zhu and the adopted daughter of the master, she still couldn't decide her own marriage and was arranged by everyone.

Suddenly, Zhou Nanwang said to him, "You must agree to the second thing. I am your great-great-uncle, and we are quite distant from each other. In order to facilitate future actions of the clan, I intend to adopt you as my adopted son."

"Don't you have an adopted son?"

"Well, I didn't have it before, but I have it after I accepted you!"

Zhou Nanwang said, "You are still Zhou You outside, but in the clan you are my adopted son. You are another person with a clan name. You are unmarried, so you can just marry a wife!"
