Chapter 114 Old Acquaintances and Past Events

Chu family, extermination, little girl, settled in Songhai...

Apart from the father who shouldn't be there, the above information combined is the Chu family extermination case. The girl speaking in the dream is the Palace Master of Zhisha?!

Zhang Yuanqing, who sat up in bed, fell into confusion again, but not the kind where an old cow gets stuck in a swamp and can't move, but rather like a particle collider, moving at high speed and colliding fiercely.

It's strange that he dreamed of the Palace Master of Zhisha, but not incomprehensible, after all, they are good friends and old acquaintances.

The Palace Master is also a beautiful woman with a soft voice and body, often teasing him with ambiguous jokes. As a normal man, it's only natural to dream about her occasionally.

But why did his father appear?

The Palace Master of Zhisha and his deceased father are completely unrelated.

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

Moreover, he was in the first-person perspective, the perspective of the Palace Master of Zhisha.

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 Star Lord who has devoured countless spirits, is very familiar with this feeling.

So here comes the question, why did the memory fragment of the Palace Master of Zhisha appear in him?

Could it be? Zhang Yuanqing suddenly trembled, a bold idea popping up, making the hairs on his back and arms stand on end.

"What's wrong!"

Guan Ya also sat up, frowning, both nervous and concerned.

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

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

"Then shall we get up and have breakfast?" Guan Ya asked tentatively.

"No, you shouldn't ask like that, it doesn't suit your personality, Sister Guan Ya," Zhang Yuanqing said seriously.

Guan Ya was stunned, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Yuanqing immediately revealed a wicked smile: "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 saw that the situation was not good and quickly lifted the quilt and tried to escape.

Zhang Yuanqing fiercely pounced on her and pushed her down, grinning:

"This Celestial Venerable not only wants to eat abalone, but also wants to treat you to sausage."

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

Zhang Yuanqing was furious: "Bah, it's Qiu Daolin red sausage."

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

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

The Queen, who was drinking millet porridge next to her, raised her eyebrows:

Are they doing something shameful in the room again?" No, I must stop this morally corrupt behavior immediately.

Little Green Tea wrinkled her nose: "Guan Ya is really amazing, seducing Brother Yuanshi while not letting him eat her, she understands the art of fishing very well, despicable and shameless, I can't compare."

If Brother Yuanshi climbed onto her bed, she would probably cry and half-heartedly submit.

Sure enough, she still needs to continue her cultivation.

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

What she was most worried about was Guan Ya shamelessly sleeping with Yuanshi, and after Yuanshi injected energy into her body again and again, he wouldn't be interested in hooking up with other women.

Then she wouldn't have a chance.

Fishing is good, the better Guan Ya is at fishing, the more uncomfortable Yuanshi will be, and when the time comes, she can hook him away from her best friend with a little effort.

Xie Lingxi looked distressed: "But every time I hear them being intimate, I feel like I have a green hat on my head, damn it!!"

On the other side of the dining table, Princess Yinyao sat gracefully, staring intently at the 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 with medicine, or report her location to the Demonic Path when she is 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 official consort."

The loudspeaker was a magical item that Xie Lingxi gave her. This item can transform thoughts into speech, and it is a small item for the Musician profession.

It has no attack power, a single function, and is perfect for Princess Yinyao, who cannot speak.

The restaurant suddenly fell silent.

Li Chunfeng, who had been eating with his head down and not paying attention to the scheming between women, raised his head in horror and looked at this noble princess.

Princess, your thoughts are very dangerous," Little Green Tea exclaimed.

"That's how my mother treated the concubines at home. My father would occasionally get angry, but what could he do? Concubines are no different from servants, and the head mistress has the power of life and death," Princess Yinyao said indifferently.

[Seriously, I have been using Yeguo Reading to read and update recently, switching between sources, with many recitation voices, both Android and Apple are available.]

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

The restaurant fell silent again.

Princess Yinyao's tone suddenly became sympathetic: "You are so pitiful."

Xie Lingxi, the Queen: "..."

After breakfast, although Zhang Yuanqing didn't eat abalone, he licked the baby's food storage and held the baby's rice bowl, feeling satisfied.

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

This way, he could block the sound of the phone call to prevent Xie Lingxi from eavesdropping.

"Nephew, is Lingxi being good in Songhai?" Xie Su's mellow and gentle laughter came from the speaker.

"She's very good. She just rejected the suggestion of poisoning my girlfriend or hiring someone to kill her. I think Lingxi is a kind-hearted girl," Zhang Yuanqing also gave a hearty smile.

Xie Su's smile was a little awkward, "Alas, Lingxi was spoiled by her mother since she was a child."

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

This is Xie Lingxi's mother? Her voice is really nice, but it feels like there's a lot of tea flavor, Zhang Yuanqing silently commented.

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

"What is it?"

"I remember that Musicians control pregnancy and life, and the high-level rule-based item, Mother Goddess's Uterus, 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, then said: "It requires many conditions, for example, 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 while, and said: "Then I can't repair it, even if I pay a huge price, I can only stitch it up."

Stitch up? Zhang Yuanqing, sitting at his desk, slumped back in his chair, sitting there blankly.

After an unknown amount of time, he heard Xie Su tentatively say: "Nephew?" Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and asked: "What does a huge price mean..."

"Such as falling in rank!" 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 clarifying my doubts."

After hanging up the phone, he put the phone on the table, 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 Palace Master of Zhisha: "Meet tonight?"

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

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

Today is the fifth day, and he is going to the provincial capital of Baotang Province, Huadu.

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

He was very vigilant this time. First, he looked at his face with the Ghost Mirror, then he went to a hotel and booked a short-term room. After deducing today's itinerary with the Da Luo Star Compass and receiving feedback that everything was calm, he raised his head and took a taxi to Myriad Treasures House.

In the dilapidated alley with a sense of the last century, Zhang Yuanqing, wearing a perfect human skin mask and having his appearance and karma completely changed, crashed into the tightly locked iron gate and entered the narrow and messy little shop.

Next to the shelf directly 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 inside. Her lower body was a pair of fitted capri pants, which was simple and fashionable, with a strong sense of aggression. She looked like an aggressive older sister or a big boss.

If she had a cigar, she would look even more like a female gang boss. Seeing a guest coming in, Lian Sanyue looked sideways and snorted: "You're quite on time."

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 retracted her gaze, and while tidying up the messy shelves, she said: "I inquired from an elder of the Zhu family. The previous owner of the zoo was a Night Wanderer, no, he was a Night Wanderer profession, at least at the Ruler stage. The elder knew him when he was at the Ruler stage, and his specific level is unknown."

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

"A person named Zhang Tianshi."

Zhang Tianshi... Zhang... Zhang Yuanqing frowned and thought silently.

Zhang Tianshi should be his father's spirit realm. After all, no Spirit Wanderer would use their real name in the world. As for the zoo's artifact spirit knowing his father's real name, that's not difficult to understand.

For a simple example, the Ghost Bride knows his real name, and even knows his home address.

If the Red Dancing Shoes had higher intelligence, they would also know.

The Cat King Speaker is the same.

The identity of a Spirit Wanderer can be hidden from outsiders, but not from their life-bound item that they spend day and night with.

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

If his father was a Night Wanderer, then it was impossible for him to die in a car accident.

Lian Sanyue shook her head: "The specific time is not clear, but I can only determine a rough range, at the earliest 20 years ago, and at the latest 15 years ago, because 15 years ago, I already knew that the Dog Elder of the Songhai branch had that rule-based item."

That's like saying nothing. I can tell you with certainty that my father died 15 years ago. Zhang Yuanqing remembered that he started elementary school at the age of six, and his father died in a car accident that year.

He is now 21 years old, exactly 15 years.

"However, the time is a bit close. My father just died, and the Dog Elder got the zoo? That doesn't make sense. The interval between Rulers entering dungeons is very long. There's no reason why the Dog Elder would just happen to enter the dungeon when the zoo returns to the spirit realm, and the dungeon he entered was the one where the zoo is located..." Zhang Yuanqing muttered to himself.

"When did that Dog Elder take office as an elder in the Songhai branch?" he asked.

If Lian Sanyue didn't know or wanted to charge 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 fallen alarm clock, blew the dust off it, and placed it back in place, and said: "Are there any other questions? If not, let's settle the final payment."

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

More than fifteen years ago, that means that when my father didn't die, the Dog Elder was already in Songhai. It's possible that they had some kind of interaction!

Zhang Yuanqing thought about it and asked: "You just said the Zhu family? The Zhu family of the three families of life? How did that elder know Zhang Tianshi?"

"I don't know," Lian Sanyue first shook her head, 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 they were once members of a powerful organization."

"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 go too. Many 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 exterminated."

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

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

"Xiaoyao!" 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 declined.

He can completely check through the official database. As long as it's an organization with a name, the official database will definitely be clearer and more detailed. There's no need to spend 200,000.

200,000 can buy a brakeless electric car. Immediately, Zhang Yuanqing settled the final payment of 250,000 and left Myriad Treasures House.

The flight back to Songhai was already at 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. A stack of books was also piled on the stone table.

"Reading? Lend it to me when you have time. 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 approached and took a closer look.

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

I'd rather not swim in this ocean," Zhang Yuanqing silently passed by. A few minutes later, he walked out of the house again, returned to the small yard, and asked:

"Where are they?"

"Guan Ya and the Princess went next door to spar in physical skills, and Xie Lingxi and the Queen went to cheer them on," Li Chunfeng didn't take his eyes off the book.

"Who are they cheering for?"

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

Zhang Yuanqing's expression was serious, and he said: "Brother Li, you are a scholar, knowledgeable and talented, well-informed, and wise in reading. What do you think I should do with the relationships between my teammates?"

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 prevent this kind of competition, including kinship. To protect his mating rights, a male lion will drive his grown children out of the pride."

"Among humans, there are also many examples of brothers, sisters, fathers, and sons competing for mates." To completely solve this problem, it's actually very simple. As long as the one being competed for loses what the competitors want, all conflicts will be resolved."

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

"In short, it's four words," Li Chunfeng focused his Qi on his Dantian and his strength on the tip of his tongue: "Castrate to cure!"

"?"

Midnight, twelve o'clock.

The coffee shop opposite the Kangyang District Public Security Bureau was brightly lit and the door was open.

A dreamlike starlight rose from the entrance of the shop and transformed into a tall and handsome young man.

Zhang Yuanqing stepped into the shop and looked around.

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

She was wearing a silver mask that covered half of her face, and when she calmed down to do things, she was gentle and peaceful, with a warm temperament.

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

She looked in a good mood, acting as if she was brewing coffee to entertain her lover. Zhang Yuanqing walked to the bar and stared at her silently. The Palace Master of Zhisha lowered her head and smiled: "I heard Xie Lingxi talk about your experience last night. Not bad, you are becoming more and more capable. When you are promoted to Ruler, I will appoint you as the master of the harem and let you govern 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 Palace Master of Zhisha was stunned for a moment.
