Versatile Mage: The Zhou Family's Young Master Forcefully Marries Mu Ningxue

Chapter 156 Zhao Youqian Inherits the Zhao Family Business (Revised)
"It's alive again!!"

Bai Miaoying was completely dumbfounded. Was she dreaming?

"What on earth is going on?!"

Zhao Yuzheng glanced at Bai Miaoying beside him, and then his brain completely shut down.

Was he dead or alive?

Just then, a loud bang came from outside the door, and Uncle Qing and a group of bodyguards rushed in.

"How dare he attack the patriarch! Capture him and hand him over to the Holy Judgment Court!"

The people who rushed in didn't immediately check the hospital bed; instead, they tried to forcibly take Zhou Haoyu down.

Attacking the head of a clan is a serious crime, and could result in immediate trial.

"Uncle Qing!!"

Just as Zhao Youqian was about to stop him, he suddenly saw his father on the hospital bed watching them like it was a show.

That's not right. He remembered that his father was seriously ill and should be lying in a hospital bed now.

But now, looking at him, he has plenty of blood and energy and breathes strongly, not at all like a patient should.

Is he dreaming?
Since this was a hospital ward, the bodyguards didn't use magic; they mostly just swung their fists at Zhou Haoyu.

Even if magic is used, it will only be minor magic that won't cause too much damage to the ward.

Faced with their attacks, Zhou Haoyu easily dodged them with a few quick movements.

After reaching the Super-Order in the Space system, his control over the Space-Time Divine Eye improved even further, and short-distance teleportation basically did not consume any magic energy.

"A bunch of useless trash, let me do it."

The head of the bodyguards took off his sunglasses and fixed his gaze on Zhou Haoyu with piercing eyes.

In an instant, a powerful spiritual force directly invaded Zhou Haoyu's mental world.

This spiritual power is very strong, and it is almost touching the threshold of a higher realm.

But the next moment, the head of the bodyguards was sent flying as if hit by a heavy truck, crashing into the wall.

For a high-level mage, this external injury is not considered very serious.

But the injuries he suffered were not just physical; most importantly, his mental state suffered a major backlash.

"There are so many spells available, why did you have to use a mind spell on me?"

Zhou Haoyu shook his head. Although his Mind System was only at the high-level second stage, his Spiritual Power was close to the eighth level.

In addition, with the inheritance of the illusionist, he can directly use mental power to attack the enemy's mental world.

It takes at least several dozen days to fully recover from the mental backlash.

At this moment, Uncle Qing, who was standing nearby, also noticed that Zhao Yuzheng had woken up.

No, judging from her condition, she should be completely cured.

So many renowned healers couldn't cure him, yet a mere young boy managed to heal him.

And how long has it been since then? How did she recover so quickly and beautifully? Isn't that a bit too outrageous?
"Dad, you're alive?"

Zhao Youqian walked to the bedside, still with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"What, are you hoping I die?"

Zhao Yuzheng seemed to have a prejudice against Zhao Youqian, so he didn't give him a friendly look.

Zhao Youqian didn't dare to respond, so he could only introduce Zhou Haoyu, "Father, it was Brother Zhou who cured your illness, so I invited him here."

In fact, Zhou Haoyu also cured Zhao Yuzheng.

Instead, he used fragments of the Dark Laws to transform him into an undead form, similar to the resurrected state of Izusa.

Zhao Yuzheng immediately looked at Zhou Haoyu standing opposite him, and seeing how young he was, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

"What do you call me, little friend?"

"Zhou Haoyu."

Zhou Haoyu replied with three words indifferently.

"You're Zhou Haoyu?!"

Zhao Yuzheng's eyes widened in surprise. He had been paying close attention to the World University Tournament, after all, Zhao Manyan was the one he had sent into the National University Team. However, he never expected that the young man in front of him was actually the captain of the National University Team.

Did he really save me?
Zhao Yuzheng could only look at Bai Miaoying, who was probably the only one present who had seen it with her own eyes.

Noticing her husband's gaze, Bai Miaoying remained silent for a moment before nodding.

Although Zhou Haoyu killed Zhao Yuzheng first, he also truly brought Zhao Yuzheng back to life.

Such miraculous methods are simply unbelievable.

As far as she knew, only the Parthenon possessed this method of resurrection, and she never expected that this young man would also have mastered it.

If I told you, probably no one would believe me.

Seeing his wife nod, Zhao Yuzheng had no choice but to believe it; it was impossible that his wife had been bribed as well.

"Young friend, just tell me what you want."

Zhao Yuzheng looked at Zhou Haoyu and said.

As a businessman, Zhao Yuzheng knew very well that there was no such thing as a free lunch.

“The Zhao family needs a young leader, and Zhao Youqian is a good fit.”

Zhou Haoyu didn't beat around the bush and spoke frankly.

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned, even Zhao Youqian, the person involved, was dumbfounded.

Is it really necessary to be so direct?

"Zhao Youqian, is this your intention?"

Zhao Yuzheng's gaze was fixed on Zhao Youqian; he had already decided to designate Zhao Manyan as his successor.

In his view, the Zhao family needs a powerful sorcerer to succeed them in order to have any hope of reaching a higher level.

Zhao Youqian took a deep breath and said with a serious expression, "Dad, you want Zhao Manyan to inherit the Zhao family name simply because he is a member of the National Team, but I am a mage now!"

"What??"

Zhao Yuzheng was dumbfounded. He knew Zhao Youqian's situation very well. He had failed to awaken Zhao Youqian several times, otherwise he would not have gone to such extremes.

Zhao Youqian's contributions to the Zhao family are also evident to all.

But when it comes to the Zhao family business, he can't treat everyone equally; there will always be some trade-offs.

"Intermediate Level 1!"

A high-ranking bodyguard sensed Zhao Youqian's presence.

"It's only been a little over a year since I became a mage. Give me another two or three years and I'll be able to break through to the advanced level."

Zhao Youqian deliberately spoke conservatively, after all, breaking through to the intermediate level in just a few months was really too exaggerated.

Upon hearing this, the high-ranking bodyguard, who hadn't paid much attention before, immediately showed a surprised expression.

This cultivation speed is too incredible! Could it be that he has been accumulating knowledge and experience for a long time?
"This"

Zhao Yuzheng hesitated. Zhao Youqian's abilities were beyond question; he had managed so many of the Zhao family's businesses without encountering any major problems.

At this moment, Bai Miaoying whispered a few words in Zhao Yuzheng's ear.

As a mother, Bai Miaoying's last wish was for her brothers to kill each other.

In her eyes, the Zhao family business was not as good as that of Zhao Youqian and Zhao Manyan.

Most importantly, she knew that Zhao Manyan had no interest in inheriting the family business.

Since Zhao Youqian already possesses the talent for cultivation, there is absolutely no need to forcibly pass the family business to Zhao Manyan.

"Ah~~"

After a long while, Zhao Yuzheng sighed deeply. Having experienced life and death, he no longer valued some things as much.

The best option he had was to let Zhao Youqian inherit the Zhao family business.

As for Zhao Youqian's shortcomings, they can be corrected gradually later.

Moreover, Zhao Youqian has a very prominent advantage: he is not obsessed with women.
