It's clearly a crossover game, but the system insists it's a pirate game.

Chapter 115 They had a lot of people, that's why there was so much smoke.

The sky is as blue as water, and a flying dragon soars in the sky.

As one of the leaders of the Azure Dragon Society, how could Shangguan Jin Hong not know how powerful the Azure Dragon Society was? Such an impossible thing suddenly happened, it must be the Azure Dragon Society, and only the Azure Dragon Society could have done it.

But now a problem arises: it's not someone else who's being messed with, it's themselves—so will the Azure Dragon Society give up its position as the dragon leader?

Otherwise, why do it?

Shangguan Jin Hong was not afraid of Zhou Ye, but he still had a lot of headaches with the Zhou family because they did things without any rules, and sometimes they were even more unreasonable.

Nothing happened one moment, and the next moment Zhou Ye's people might be at the door. No one can grasp the Zhou family's situation through any means, which is the biggest headache.

Just like last time, Zhou Ye attacked so many branches of the Azure Dragon Society without saying a word, including the Money Gang. Several leaders suffered losses, but no one mentioned it and acted as if it never happened. Now, it is his own Money Gang members who have directly clashed with the Zhou family.

How many branches does the Money Gang have that they could provide for the Zhou family to vent their anger?

If the Green Dragon Society is rebelled, the Money Gang will be finished; but if the Zhou family is offended, the Money Gang could be finished at any moment.

How to choose?

While Shangguan Jin Hong was busy making a choice, there was a lot of fun in the inn. Those who were imprisoned had their powers sealed and were squatting together with their heads down. But in the middle of the night, one of them suddenly raised his head and a strange red light appeared in his eyes.

With a simple jolt, the ropes binding him broke. After glancing around, he opened the storage room window, leaped out, and disappeared into the town in a flash, his figure as swift as lightning.

What he didn't see was that there were two figures floating in the sky above the town.

Zhou Ye held Huang Rong in his arms and watched the figure move without stopping it, but he followed it in the air. Huang Rong opened her mouth as if to say something, but then she didn't say anything.

With the couple working together, Zhou Ye knew what she wanted to say and said with a smile, "You don't need to be so careful. As long as you don't use telepathy, he won't be able to hear us."

"call!"

Huang Rong let out a breath, then said, "Big oaf, are you sure this guy will lead us to the mastermind?"

"Who knows? There's always hope if you follow along, and you're guaranteed not to find anything if you don't."

"Are you sure it has nothing to do with Shangguan Jin Hong?"

"Ah Yue is right. Shangguan Jin Hong will not clash with us. Firstly, he wouldn't dare, and secondly, there's no need for it."

Huang Rong laughed: "Why wouldn't it be necessary?"

"Because we have no conflict of interest with him. He wants to dominate the martial arts world, but our Zhou family only has Zhou Shan, and we're far away from the Money Gang. Even if he wanted to deal with us, it wouldn't be now. Besides, as soon as this guy entered the inn, I smelled a strange odor on him. Otherwise, how could they have survived until now?"

Huang Rong laughed: "I knew it! So that's what you were waiting for. Well, you big oaf, after all these years, you've finally grown a brain?"

Zhou Ye tightened his grip in anger, and Huang Rong let out a soft cry, then slapped him on the chest: "You're so annoying!"

"It's not that I'm brainless, I just don't want to use it. With you guys around, I don't need to use my brain, right? Besides, if there's anything that needs to be solved, just take action."

"Okay, you're right."

Huang Rong knew her man's personality all too well. She was held in his arms and stared at the figure below until the other person entered a small courtyard. Only then did Zhou Ye land with Huang Rong, and the two of them stood in the courtyard.

Looking at the dark courtyard, Huang Rong asked curiously, "Where is everyone?"

"He's dead."

Zhou Ye curled his lip: "Is this guy crazy? Running all that way just to commit suicide?"

died?

Huang Rong's eyes widened in disbelief. After all that fussing all night, this was the result?

Without a word, she pushed open the door, looked around, and then came out with a dark expression: "There's something fishy about how this person died. It seems they were trying to send a message this way. What are we going to do now? Just wait for someone else to come?"

Zhou Ye laughed: "They say pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, what? You really didn't expect that?"

Huang Rong let out a "woof" and threw herself into Zhou Ye's arms, then deliberately gave him a light bite on the cheek, just like when the two were deeply in love.

Zhou Ye laughed heartily, then, carrying her, vanished instantly, returning to the inn's bedroom a few breaths later.

There were no words on the wall, only bloodstains. It was obvious that there was something fishy about it. So when Huang Rong discovered this, she cleaned up the bloodstains on the wall without hesitation, completely changing its appearance.

As for who came to receive the message—

If someone dies, the first to arrive will definitely be the government officials and constables, so there's no need to wait; just keep an eye on them.

As for whether the imperial court would want to deal with the Zhou family, it's really hard to say, because the current imperial court is like a giant fishing net with holes everywhere, and anyone with a bit of ambition will put their people in there.

No, there are also fools who don't know. Huang Rong looked at Wang Yuyan, who was eating snacks. When the latter saw her eyes, she was stunned for a moment, and then carefully handed over the snacks in her hand.

Huang Rong closed her eyes, held back for a full second, and then suddenly pounced on Wang Yuyan, pinning her to the bed: "You silly woman, you gave me half-eaten pastry, what do you mean by that???"

Wang Yuyan laughed as she dodged, "I saw you staring straight at me, and I thought you were hungry—"

Am I looking at you? No, I'm looking at my brainless cousin through you!

Although they still hadn't found out who was behind the sabotage, the trip to Shaoshi Mountain was definitely worthwhile. At dawn, Zhou Ye, with his wife and children, returned to the hillside. Just like yesterday, they sat on the hillside, watching the chaos inside Shaolin, the surging internal energy, and the black smoke rising from within—

"Holy crap—" Zhou Mo, the eldest daughter, put her little hand to her forehead, looking at the billowing black smoke, and said, "Dad, didn't you say the monks at Shaolin are vegetarians? Are they grilling meat?"

Yaoyue's lips twitched. This was her own daughter, but she just couldn't understand why her daughter hadn't inherited her good qualities.

Of course, there's another possibility: looks are inherited. She's been growing up to be a great beauty, but her brains...

Turning her head, Yaoyue looked at the man eating fruit and became angrier the more she thought about it. Without saying a word, she jumped in front of Zhou Ye and punched him twice in the chest. After hitting the man, she turned around, picked up her daughter, put her on her lap, and gave her a good slap on her little bottom. Goodness, she slapped all the dust off her daughter.

As for the damage—

Seeing that my daughter can still secretly stuff dried fruit into her mouth, there is absolutely no need to worry.

After the beating, the eldest daughter nestled in her father's arms for comfort, but the conversation...

"Dad, are the monks grilling meat?"

"It shouldn't be. When it comes to vegetarianism, the monks of Shaolin are still trustworthy."

"Then why are they making so much smoke—are they grilling meat, or are they grilling vegetables?"

"It's possible—"

"Is it tasty?"

"It tastes good once it's baked."

"Then I want to eat it too."

"6

"Let's bake it now."

After saying that, Zhou Ye really started setting things up. In less than twenty minutes, smoke rose from the hillside. Zhou Ye had started a barbecue, with meat and vegetables, a very lavish spread.

"Something's not right—" The eldest daughter looked at the wisps of smoke rising from their own hillside, then at the black smoke rising from the Shaolin Temple: "Dad, the color of this smoke is wrong. Why is that smoke over there so black?"

"There are more people over there, so the smoke from grilling is naturally greater."

It was indeed huge; from their perspective, they could even see the flames within the black smoke.

Like the other children, Wanwan rested one hand on her forehead and stared at the scene. After a while, she turned to Zhou Ye and said, "Are you really not going to do anything about it? It's about to catch fire!"

"What's it to us?"

Zhou Ye didn't even turn her head: "They think we have too many family members, so they won't even let us in the door. Even if we wanted to help, we couldn't."

Wanwan chuckled, "I love your stingy side!"

The fire at Shaolin Temple ultimately failed to ignite. After a chaotic day, it was finally extinguished. A group of martial arts masters emerged, covered in soot, and fled down the mountain without looking back.

At this Lion-Slaying Assembly, Shaolin not only failed to regain its reputation as the "Number One Sect," but also lost face due to this internal strife. Although Xie Xun eventually joined the Shaolin sect, it only salvaged a little face. However, the Dragon-Slaying Saber did not fall into Shaolin's hands.

The Dragon-Slaying Saber is lost.

Even Xie Xun didn't know how the sword was lost, and no one in the martial arts world knew that the lost Dragon-Slaying Saber was currently in the Zhou family's tool shed. The servants in the family only knew that the sword was very useful for chopping wood, and had no idea that this sword had the reputation of "commanding the world".

This was all done secretly by Dai Qisi. She had already found out where Icefire Island was. When the Zhou family encountered the so-called crisis, she sent someone to bring Xie Xun back from the island, using Zhang Wuji's name. Then, she drugged him halfway there, took the Dragon-Slaying Saber, and secretly revealed Xie Xun's whereabouts to Shaolin.

It can be said that the Shaolin Lion-Slaying Assembly was secretly arranged by the Zhou family, not for the Dragon-Slaying Saber, but to use this opportunity to lure out the mastermind behind it all.

The adults in the Zhou family, except for the children, all knew about this matter, so they didn't pay much attention to it from beginning to end.

It's a pity the operation wasn't successful, but it wasn't exactly a failure either; it just ended up hanging in the middle of nowhere.

"Alright, that's enough excitement—" Because of the kids, Zhou Ye didn't go to the front lines of the drama, so the experience was naturally a bit less exciting. But it didn't matter; there would be plenty of opportunities to watch the drama unfold, so one or two more wouldn't make a difference. "Let's pack our things, head down the mountain, and then get ready to go home."
