Chapter 100 The Kind-Hearted Master Zhou

For Zhou Tai, the unexpected reunion with Wang Fengying at the Yuying Hall was just a minor incident and he didn't pay much attention to it.

The two didn't have much interaction back then, and the later transaction was just a transaction.

So after he returned to his cave in the Three Star Mountain, he almost forgot about the matter.

The trip to Yuying Hall went quite smoothly. As an inner disciple and Song Yanting's apprentice, Hall Master Chen readily agreed after hearing his purpose.

Just two days later, the two twelve- or thirteen-year-old girls were sent to the outside of the Sanxing Mountain cave.

When Zhou Tai saw that the two people who had been brought over were female disciples, he was slightly taken aback.

When he discussed this matter with that Palace Master Chen, he didn't specify that it had to be a female cultivator.

Now that the person has been delivered, it would seem rather inhumane to send them away just because they are female cultivators.

Therefore, he could only say in a deep voice, "The work here is not easy. Are you two little girls sure you can handle it? If you're unwilling, you still have a chance to back out!"

Upon hearing this, the two girls' expressions changed slightly, and they couldn't help but look at the middle-aged man who had brought them over.

The middle-aged man was an outer disciple working at the Yuying Hall. Seeing the two young women looking at him, he secretly glanced at Zhou Tai. Seeing that Zhou Tai didn't seem inclined to stop them, he whispered, "Why are you all looking at me? Since Uncle Zhou has given you the choice..."

Yes, you can choose for yourselves!

Upon hearing him say the same thing, both girls showed hesitation and doubt in their eyes.

They didn't actually have a choice before they were sent here.

After all, as a sect servant, one can only follow orders from above and has no room for negotiation when it comes to where to work.

Moreover, given their age, they were actually quite afraid and worried when they heard that they were being sent to serve as servants to Foundation Establishment cultivators.

After all, in their imagination, Foundation Establishment cultivators were all old monsters who had lived for hundreds of years, much older than their own grandfathers.

What if this old monster takes a fancy to my body and tries to force himself on me?

The young girl, who had not yet witnessed the cruelty of the cultivation world, was quite resistant to this kind of thing and did not realize that it was also a shortcut.

However, looking at Zhou Tai's unusually young face, the two girls felt less resistant.

Seeing that the two girls remained silent, Zhou Tai's patience quickly wore thin, and he urged them directly, "Are you going to stay or leave? Just say it now, I don't have that much time to waste with you!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately shouted, "Did you hear that? Speak up now!"

Urged on repeatedly, the older-looking girl finally made her choice first, immediately kneeling down and kowtowing to Zhou Tai, saying, "Uncle-Master, I am willing to stay and serve you!"

Upon seeing this, the younger girl didn't think twice and quickly knelt down, saying, "Me too."

"Uncle Zhou, look at this—"

The middle-aged man couldn't help but look at Zhou Tai, his eyes full of flattery.

Palace Master Chen asked him to bring the person over. If he were to take the person back, even if it was Zhou Tai's idea, he would definitely be considered a nuisance.

So of course he didn't want to go through the trouble of making another trip.

Zhou Tai had risen through the ranks from a menial disciple, so he was fully aware of both the middle-aged man's thoughts and the two young girls' worries.

He might even give the two girls a choice, perhaps because he himself had been caught in the rain and wanted to give the next person a chance to use an umbrella.

Seeing that the two girls had made their decision, he didn't press the matter further and simply nodded, saying, "Then let them both stay."

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man noticed that the two young girls didn't respond immediately, so he couldn't help but urge them, "Hurry up and thank your martial uncle for taking you in."

Reminded by him, the two girls realized what was happening and quickly bowed respectfully, saying, "Thank you for taking us in, Uncle-Master."

"Get up. You don't need to perform this grand ceremony when you see me again."

Zhou Tai waved his hand, then said to the middle-aged man, "Nephew, please thank Senior Brother Chen for me when you go back, and welcome him to visit me sometime."

"Yes, disciple will certainly convey the message."

The middle-aged man respectfully responded and quickly mounted his flying horse and left Sanxing Mountain.

Zhou Tai then led the two girls into the cave and inquired about their names and origins.

After inquiring, it was learned that the older girl's name was Sun Yuzhu, and she was almost fourteen years old. Her parents were both menial disciples of the Spirit Beast Mountain. However, because she only had five spiritual roots, even though she started cultivating at the age of five, her cultivation level was still only at the second level of the Qi Refining stage.

The younger girl is named Tao Zhenzhen. She is not yet thirteen years old and comes from a wealthy family in the mortal world. She has the aptitude of four spiritual roots and her cultivation is currently at the first level of the Qi Refining stage.

These two people had previously worked in different places, and the jobs they did were not particularly strenuous.

After understanding these circumstances, Zhou Tai was quite satisfied.

These two people have relatively clean backgrounds, and Sun Yu has the support of her parents, so there's no need to worry about her being dishonest.

Tao Zhenzhen was born into the mortal world, possessed four spiritual roots, and seemed somewhat timid, so she probably wouldn't dare to break any taboos.

He was satisfied and his attitude became much more amiable. He immediately led the two to the outside of a two-story building and said, "You two can stay in this building for now. From now on, your main tasks will be to feed the frogs at the pond at the foot of the mountain, and also help me with chores such as cooking and laundry."

After pausing, seeing the two looking like they didn't quite understand, he said in a deep voice, "This is something you, as menial disciples, should do. However, I am a kind-hearted person and can't stand seeing people do things for me for nothing. From now on, as long as you do well, you can receive three catties of low-grade spirit rice every month."

Upon hearing that they would receive spiritual rice every month, the two women finally reacted.

The older Sun Yuzhu immediately beamed with joy and said, "Uncle Zhou is so kind and benevolent, I am deeply grateful. I will do my best to fulfill the tasks assigned by you!"

Tao Zhenzhen quickly nodded in agreement, saying, "Zhenzhen too, Zhenzhen will definitely try her best to do things well."

Zhou Tai nodded slightly and immediately gave the two women tokens for entering and exiting the cave, as well as tokens for entering and exiting the pool at the foot of the mountain.

In the following days, Zhou Tai personally took Sun Yuzhu and Tao Zhenzhen to the pond to feed the frogs, and let them get acquainted with the Thunder-patterned Frog Yuanbao, revealing their identities to them.

The two women wouldn't know that Thunder Frog Yuanbao could also act as his informant. If they dared to do anything to the frog colony or withhold their frog food, Thunder Frog Yuanbao would naturally inform him.

If the two women really dared to do that, they would know that getting three catties of spirit rice every month was definitely not so easy.

In the days that followed, Zhou Tai resumed his life as a lord in the mortal world.

The two handyman disciples would cook, wash clothes, and sweep the floor for him every day after they finished their cultivation. He only needed to ask them to do the work.

Just as Zhou Tai resumed enjoying his life as a master, Wang Fengying, whom he had forgotten about, gathered a lot of information about him after several days of inquiries.

After Zhou Tai completed the transaction with the Wang family, not only did he stop thinking about it, but Wang Fengying and other Wang family cultivators also stopped paying attention to him.

Therefore, Wang Fengying and the Wang family had no idea where Zhou Tai had gone or what he had done all these years.

If Wang Fengying hadn't seen Zhou Tai at the Yuying Hall this time, she would have forgotten about him long ago.

But now that she has discovered that Zhou Tai has actually succeeded in establishing his foundation, Wang Fengying can no longer ignore it.

Now, relying on the network of connections she has built up over the past century, and after much searching and investigation, she has obtained most of the information about Zhou Tai over the years.

The more she learned, the more alarmed she became.

Looking at the pile of information she had collected and organized, her face was filled with hesitation.

But if she didn't do that, she was afraid that Zhou Tai's cultivation would become so high that one day the Wang family would not be able to afford to offend him, which would bring about the downfall and extermination of the Wang family!

"I'm already this old, what's the point of hesitating? Besides, trouble is inevitable, and this was bound to happen someday!"

With a self-deprecating smile, Wang Fengying's eyes narrowed, and she finally made up her mind.

The next day, she took leave and personally took the information she had collected to the Wang family's mountain gate.

The Wang family has existed in Heng Kingdom for over five hundred years, and the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators within the family has never ceased, making them quite powerful.

Currently, the Wang family has two Foundation Establishment cultivators, one inner disciple of the Spirit Beast Mountain, and hundreds of cultivators within the family.

The last time Wang Fengying returned to her family's mountain gate was more than ten years ago. This time, she didn't recognize many of the young family members she met.

In the past, she wouldn't have paid much attention to this situation, since such things are very common in cultivation families.

But thinking about why she came back this time, she couldn't help but ask everyone about her background.

In fact, she already knew about the results of that "sperm donation" plan back then, and she was quite surprised at the time.

Because ten pregnant female cultivators from the Wang family gave birth to twelve children, nine of whom possessed spiritual roots.

Such a high proportion of spiritual roots is extremely rare.

So much so that after testing her spiritual root aptitude, the Wang family patriarch even asked her if she could continue to cooperate with Zhou Tai.

However, Zhou Tai had already been transferred to Leihefeng to raise frogs. After Wang Fengying learned about Zhou Tai's significance to the owner of Leihefeng, she felt that Zhou Tai would never agree to such a thing again, so she persuaded the Wang family patriarch to give up the idea.

Looking back now, she probably really did the right thing.

She asked several people along the way, but none of them were people she knew. Wang Fengying couldn't help but sigh that she was really getting old, that she was doing such a meaningless thing.

Deep down, she knew that this was all because of the shock that Zhou Tai's information had brought her, to the point that she couldn't help but pay attention to anything or anyone related to Zhou Tai.

After walking through the Wang family's gate for a while, she finally arrived at the place where the Wang family patriarch was conducting business.
