Chapter 1 The Chu Family

The Chu family, annihilated, a little girl, settling in Songhai...

Apart from the father who shouldn't have been there, the combination of the above information isn't that the Chu family's annihilation case? The girl speaking in the dream is the Zhisha Palace Master?!

Sitting up in bed, Zhang Yuanqing was once again plunged into confusion, but it wasn't like an old ox sinking in a swamp unable to move, but like a particle collider moving at high speed, colliding fiercely.

It was a bit strange to dream of the Zhisha Palace Master, but not incomprehensible. After all, they were good friends, old acquaintances.

Moreover, the Palace Master was a soft-voiced and gentle beauty who often made suggestive jokes with him. As a normal man, dreaming about her occasionally was perfectly normal.

But why did his father appear?

The Zhisha Palace Master and his deceased father were completely unrelated.

Zhang Yuanqing carefully recalled the scenes in his dream and found them exceptionally clear. After waking up, the images from the dream remained fixed in his mind, as if they were real experiences.

Moreover, it was from a first-person perspective, the Zhisha Palace Master's perspective.

It didn't feel like a dream at all, but more like a fragment of memory.

Yes, a fragment of memory!

Zhang Yuanqing, as a Xingguan (Star Official) who had devoured countless spirits, knew this feeling all too well.

So the question arose, why would the Zhisha Palace Master's memory fragments appear in him?

Could it be… Zhang Yuanqing's heart suddenly trembled as a bold idea emerged, causing the hairs on his back and arms to stand on end.

"What's wrong!"

Guan Ya sat up with him, frowning, both anxious and concerned.

Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath. "It's nothing, nothing..."

He suppressed the thought in his mind, shook his head at Guan Ya, and indicated that he was fine.

"Then should we get up for breakfast?" Guan Ya asked tentatively.

"No, you shouldn't ask that. It doesn't fit your character, Guan Ya-jie (older sister)," Zhang Yuanqing said seriously.

Guan Ya was stunned. "How so?"

Zhang Yuanqing immediately grinned lewdly. "You should ask: 'Husband, do you want to eat breakfast, or do you want to eat abalone!'"

"Oh, you want to eat abalone, I'll go tell the bunny girl..." Guan Ya, seeing that things were going south, quickly threw off the covers and tried to slip away.

Zhang Yuanqing pounced on her fiercely, chuckling, "This Tianzun (Celestial Venerable) not only wants to eat abalone, but also wants to treat you to sausage."

Guan Ya quickly adopted a defensive posture, curling up on the bed, facing away from him, protecting her chest, and giggling, "Is it Huadu sausage?"

Zhang Yuanqing was furious. "Bah, it's Qiu Dao Lin red sausage."

At the small dining table in the living room, Xie Lingxi, wearing high-tech headphones, blushed and spat, "You dog couple..."

She gnashed her teeth and poked the bottom of the bowl a few times with a porcelain spoon. "I'm going to cut up the red sausage and boil the abalone."

The Queen, who was drinking millet porridge on the side, raised her eyebrows.

"Are those two doing shameless exercises in the room again?" "No, I must stop this morally depraved behavior immediately."

The little green tea frowned. "Guan Ya is really amazing. She seduces Yuan Shi-gege (older brother), but doesn't let him eat it. She understands the art of fishing very well. She's despicable and shameless, and I can't compare."

If Yuan Shi-gege climbed into her bed, she would probably cry and half-heartedly give in.

Sure enough, she still needed to continue her cultivation.

Hearing this, the Queen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that way we still have a chance."

What she was most worried about was Guan Ya shamelessly rolling around in bed with Yuan Shi. After Yuan Shi poured his energy into her body again and again, he wouldn't be in the mood to hook up with other women.

Then she wouldn't have a chance.

Fishing was good. The more Guan Ya knew how to fish, the more uncomfortable Yuan Shi would be. When the time came, she could just hook him and snatch her best friend's man.

Xie Lingxi had a bitter face. "But every time I hear them being intimate, I feel like I'm wearing a green hat. It's so annoying!!"

On the other side of the dining table, Princess Yinyao sat gracefully, staring intently at a tablet, which was playing a Qing Dynasty drama.

Hearing Xie Lingxi's complaint, Princess Yinyao took out a palm-sized loudspeaker from her pocket. The next moment, a mature female voice came from the loudspeaker:

"You can poison her, or report her location to the Demonic Path people when she's on a mission, or hire an assassin to eliminate her. There are many ways."

"Get rid of her, and you can take her place and become the Empress."

The loudspeaker was a magical artifact that Xie Lingxi had given her. This item could turn the thoughts in her mind into speech and play it aloud. It was a small item for the Musician profession.

It had no offensive power and only a single function, making it perfect for Princess Yinyao, who couldn't speak.

The dining room suddenly fell silent.

Li Chunfeng, who had been eating his meal with his head down and paying no attention to the women's power struggles, raised his head in horror and looked at the golden branch and jade leaf.

"Princess, your thoughts are very dangerous." The little green tea was shocked.

"That's how my mother treated the concubines in the family. My father would occasionally get angry, but what could he do? Concubines were no different from servants. The head mistress had the power to decide their life and death," Princess Yinyao said indifferently.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading to read books and update recently, switching sources, with many reading tones, .yeguoyuedu Android and Apple are both available. ]

Li Chunfeng couldn't help but say, "Have you ever thought that, perhaps, according to the current relationship, Xie Lingxi and the Queen are the concubines?"

The dining room fell silent again.

Princess Yinyao's tone suddenly became pitying. "You're so pathetic."

Xie Lingxi, the Queen: "..."

After breakfast, although Zhang Yuanqing didn't get to eat abalone, he licked the child's granary and held the child's rice bowl, so he was satisfied.

Back in his room, he dialed Xie Lingxi's father's cell phone and immediately entered Night Tour mode after the other party answered.

This would block the sound of the phone call and prevent Xie Lingxi from eavesdropping.

"Nephew, is Lingxi still well-behaved in Songhai?" Xie Su's mellow and gentle laughter came from the loudspeaker.

"Very well-behaved. She just rejected the suggestion to poison my girlfriend or hire someone to kill her. I think Lingxi is a kind-hearted girl," Zhang Yuanqing said with a hearty smile.

Xie Su's smile suddenly became a little awkward. "Alas, that girl Lingxi was corrupted by her mother from a young age."

Then Zhang Yuanqing heard a soft and charming voice protesting, "Master, don't talk nonsense. I educate Lingxi to be honest every day~"

This is Xie Lingxi's mother? Her voice is really nice, but it feels very tea-like… Zhang Yuanqing silently commented.

"Patriarch Xie, I have something to ask you," Zhang Yuanqing got to the point.

"What is it?"

"I remember that Musicians control conception and life, and the high-level rule-based item, the Womb of the Mother Goddess, can even bring the dead back to life. If, um, someone's soul is scattered, can you restore it?" Zhang Yuanqing asked and immediately held his breath.

Xie Su was silent for a moment, and then said, "It requires many conditions, such as, I have to be present. For example, not many souls are scattered... If the conditions are met and the environment allows, I can piece the soul back together. If there are specific items, I can repair the soul. If there are no items..." Xie Su thought for a moment, and then said, "Then I can't repair it. Even if I pay a huge price, I can only sew it together."

Sew it together… Zhang Yuanqing, sitting at his desk, slumped back in his chair, sitting there in a daze.

He didn't know how long it had been before he heard Xie Su ask tentatively, "Nephew?" Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and asked, "What does a huge price mean..."

"For example, falling in realm!" Xie Su said.

Zhang Yuanqing raised his hand and pressed his forehead.

After a few seconds, he said in a low voice, "I understand. Thank you, Uncle Xie, for your enlightenment."

After hanging up the phone, he put his phone on the desk, slumped back in his chair, and didn't speak or show any expression for a long time.

After a long time, he picked up his phone again and sent a message to the Zhisha Palace Master: "Meet tonight?"

After sending the message, he waited patiently. More than ten minutes later, the Zhisha Palace Master's message finally arrived:

"Okay! Twelve o'clock tonight, see you at the old place." Zhang Yuanqing put away his phone, got up and left the room.

Today was the fifth day, and he had to go to Huadu (Flower City), the provincial capital of the soup-braising province.

At noon, Zhang Yuanqing drank a whole pot of light and fresh chicken soup in Huadu, and left contentedly with a round belly.

This time he was very vigilant. He first used the Ghost Mirror to look at his face, then went to a hotel and opened a short-time room. After using the Great Luo Star Disc to deduce today's itinerary and getting feedback that everything was calm, he raised his head and took a taxi to Wanbao House.

In the shabby alley with a strong sense of the last century, Zhang Yuanqing, wearing perfect human skin and completely changing his appearance and karma, crashed into the tightly locked iron gate and entered the narrow and messy

Small shop.

Next to the shelf facing the shop door, Lian Sanyue was counting the goods. She was wearing a brown leather jacket, with the collar open, revealing a black tube top. Her lower body was a pair of slim-fitting capri pants. She was concise and fashionable, revealing a strong sense of aggressiveness. At first glance, she was an aggressive elder sister or a big boss type.

If she were holding a cigar, she would look even more like a gang boss. Seeing a customer coming in, Lian Sanyue looked sideways and said with a chuckle, "You're quite punctual."

Zhang Yuanqing looked around and saw that there was no one in the shop, so he asked, "Do you have an answer to my question?"

Lian Sanyue looked away, sorting out the messy shelves and said, "I found out from an elder in the Zhu family that the previous owner of the zoo was a Night Tour God, no, was a Night Tour God profession, at least a Ruler stage, the elder knew him when he was a Ruler stage, the specific level is unknown."

That's right, if he wasn't a Ruler, how could he own a zoo and have contact with the zoo's artifact spirit… Zhang Yuanqing said, "Who is he?"

"A person named Zhang Tianshi (Celestial Master)."

Zhang Tianshi... The surname is Zhang… Zhang Yuanqing frowned, pondering in silence.

Zhang Tianshi should be his father's Lingjing (Spirit Realm), after all, no Lingjing Xingzhe would use their real name to roam the martial world. As for the zoo's artifact spirit knowing his father's real name, it's not difficult to understand.

To give a simple example, the Ghost Bride knew his real name and even knew his home address.

If the Red Dancing Shoes had a higher level of intelligence, it could also know.

The Cat King Speaker was the same.

A Lingjing Xingzhe's identity could be hidden from outsiders, but not from the natal artifact they spent day and night with.

"What other information is there?" Zhang Yuanqing considered for a moment and said, "For example, how did that Zhang Tianshi die, and when did he die?"

If his father was a Night Tour God, then he could never have died in a car accident.

Lian Sanyue shook her head. "The specific time is unclear. I can only determine a rough range, the earliest being 20 years ago, and the latest being 15 years ago, because 15 years ago, I already knew that the dog elder of the Songhai branch had that rule-based item."

It's as good as not saying anything. I can tell you for sure that my dad died 15 years ago… Zhang Yuanqing remembered that he was six years old when he started elementary school, and his dad died in a car accident that year.

He is 21 years old now, exactly 15 years.

"However, the time is a little close. My dad just died, and the dog elder got the zoo? It's unreasonable. The interval between Rulers entering副本 (instances) is very long. There's no reason why the dog elder would happen to enter the instance as soon as the zoo returned to the Lingjing (Spirit Realm), and it's still the instance where the zoo is located…" Zhang Yuanqing said to himself in his heart.

"When did that dog elder become an elder in the Songhai branch?" he asked.

If Lian Sanyue didn't know, or charged a fee, he would go back and ask Fu Qingyang himself.

"I don't know, but it should be more than fifteen years," Lian Sanyue picked up a tilted alarm clock, blew the dust off it, and put it back in place. "Are there any other questions? If not, let's settle the balance."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

More than fifteen years ago, that is to say, when my dad was still alive, the dog elder was already in Songhai. It's possible that they had an intersection!

Zhang Yuanqing thought for a while and asked, "You just said the Zhu family? The Zhu family among the three families of life? How did that elder know Zhang Tianshi?"

"I don't know," Lian Sanyue first shook her head, and then said, "But when mentioning Zhang Tianshi, that elder mentioned some past events. He said that Zhang Tianshi and Chu Shang of the Chu family were close friends, and the two were once members of a organization that dominated the era.

"The Zhu family and the Chu family are both Musician families, so Chu Shang often went to the Zhu family as a guest, and sometimes Zhang Tianshi would also go. Many of the young girls in the Zhu family secretly liked them back then.

"Oh, by the way, Chu Shang was the later head of the Chu family, and also the last head of the Chu family. About twenty-one years ago, the Chu family was annihilated."

So that's how it is, so that's how it is… Zhang Yuanqing repeated it in his heart over and over again.

"You just said that they were both members of an organization, what organization?" Zhang Yuanqing regained his thoughts.

"Xiaoyao (Carefree)!" she said, "If you need information on the Xiaoyao organization, add another 200,000."

"I don't need it for the time being," Zhang Yuanqing politely refused.

He could completely check through the official database. As long as it was a named organization, the official database would definitely be clearer and more detailed. There was no need to spend 200,000.

200,000 could buy an electric car without brakes. Immediately, Zhang Yuanqing settled the balance of 250,000 and left Wanbao House.

Taking a flight back to Songhai, it was already 3:30 in the afternoon.

In the small villa, Li Chunfeng was sitting at the stone table in the yard, reading a book and leisurely drinking coffee. There was also a stack of books on the stone table.

"Reading? If you have time, lend them to me. I haven't been to class for a long time. I feel like I should take some time to swim in the ocean of knowledge." Zhang Yuanqing leaned over, and when he took a closer look:

*Quantum Mechanics*, *The Origin of the Universe*, *Atomic Physics*, *Chemistry*, *Pharmacology*, *Code World*

"Forget the swim…" Zhang Yuanqing silently brushed past. A few minutes later, he walked out of the house again, returned to the small courtyard, and asked:

"Where are they?"

"Guan Ya and the Princess went to the next door to spar in physical skills, and Xie Lingxi and the Queen went to cheer," Li Chunfeng said without taking his eyes off the book.

"Cheer for who?"

Li Chunfeng turned his head and looked over. "What do you think?"

Zhang Yuanqing looked serious and said, "Brother Li, you are a scholar, knowledgeable and talented, well-informed, and read books to gain wisdom. What do you think, how should I handle the relationships of my team members?"

Li Chunfeng thought for a few seconds and replied:

"Competition is the nature of animals, especially in terms of competing for mates. No relationship or emotion in the world can stop this kind of competition, including family affection. Male lions will drive their grown children out of the pride in order to maintain their mating rights.

"Among humans, there are also many examples of brothers, sisters, and fathers competing for mates." "If you want to completely solve this problem, it's actually very simple. As long as the person being competed for loses what the competitors want, all contradictions will be solved."

Zhang Yuanqing listened in a daze. "What do you mean?"

"In short, it's four words^" Li Chunfeng focused his energy on his tongue: "Castration is the only permanent solution!"

"?"

Midnight, twelve o'clock.

The cafe opposite the Kangyang District Police Station was brightly lit and the door was open.

A dreamlike starlight rose from the door of the store, transforming into a tall and handsome young man.

Zhang Yuanqing walked into the store and looked around.

Behind the bar, a beautiful young woman in a gorgeous red dress was concentrating on brewing coffee.

She wore a silver mask that covered half of her face. When she calmed down and did things, she was quiet and peaceful, with a gentle temperament.

"Heh, I calculated the time, and you should be missing me," the Zhisha Palace Master said with a smile, "Right, my little gigolo."

She seemed to be in a good mood, acting like she was brewing coffee to entertain her lover. Zhang Yuanqing walked to the bar and stared at her silently. The Zhisha Palace Master lowered her head and said with a smile, "I heard Xie Lingxi tell you about your encounter last night. Not bad, you are becoming more and more capable. When you are promoted to Ruler, I will make you the Lord of the Harem and command all the gigolos for me." Zhang Yuanqing looked at her silently for a long time and said:

"Palace Master, did you know me a long time ago?" The Zhisha Palace Master was stunned for a moment.
