Chapter 78 Family Heritage

Zhou Changyi was sitting in the center of the hall, with smoke rising from the incense burner beside him, and the scroll in his hand was gently flipping, and a peaceful voice sounded.

"What do you want to see the great grandfather for? Didn't the trip to the Zhao family go smoothly?"

Zhou Daocheng was stunned and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Before he said it, the matter had been guessed. This great grandfather was really extraordinary.

So he didn't hide it and roughly told the situation of the Zhao family.

After listening, Zhou Changyi frowned slightly: "Zhao Chengshan... Zhao Chengchuan... I didn't expect this to happen. It was indeed my negligence. But since you took the initiative to find me, it seems that the matter has been dealt with almost?"

Zhou Daocheng nodded, organized his words, and said: "I asked Zhao Chengchuan to bribe me 5,000 spirit stones and promised him that this matter would end here."

"5,000 spirit stones?"

Zhou Changyi's face changed slightly when he heard this number. Even for the Zhou family, this is definitely not a small number.

"Daocheng, since you have made a decision, why did you come to Grandpa?"

Zhou Daocheng pondered for a moment, a cold light appeared in his eyes: "Humph, how can it end here? But due to his status as a ninth-level Qi Refining, it is not easy to compete with him directly, so I have to resort to this last resort."

"5,000 spirit stones, if he can't take it out, just take this opportunity to warn his Zhao family, so as not to cause these moths. If he really takes out 5,000 spirit stones... then there is really a problem."

Zhou Changyi looked at his grandson thoughtfully, with a meaningful look in his eyes. He was a little surprised and asked with some consideration: "Oh, what do you mean?"

Zhou Daocheng raised his drooping eyes and said: "The Zhao family has been oppressed by the Ma family for many years, and many industries have been destroyed. The family is unable to make ends meet and can't even pay the family salaries. Moreover, half a year ago, they moved to our Zhou family area and spent a lot of money. If under such circumstances, he, the Zhao family, can come up with 5,000 spirit stones, which means that he... must have a big problem!"

Zhou Changyi listened, his dim eyes brightened a little, and a cautious look appeared between his eyebrows, and he also noticed the abnormality.

"So, Daocheng, what do you mean?"

"Although Zhao Chengshan is weak and incompetent, he is easier to control and is beneficial to our Zhou family; Zhao Chengchuan is too sophisticated and smooth, and is a disaster."

Zhou Changyi stared at Zhou Daocheng with a hint of surprise in his eyes, as if he cared more about his grandson than the affairs of the Zhao family.

"Daocheng... you are very good!" Zhou Changyi looked deep in his eyes and praised sincerely after a long time. It seemed that for the first time, he really knew this inconspicuous grandson.

Zhou Daocheng was slightly surprised. In his memory, this great grandfather was always serious. He didn't expect that his great grandfather would praise people. It was really rare.

However, he didn't care too much, because his mind was now completely on the 5,000 spirit stones in his pocket.

Before he decided to report the matter, Zhou Daocheng had been hesitating. This was a full 5,000 spirit stones. If he really had to hand it over completely, he would be reluctant.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he still took out the storage bag from his pocket and handed it over with gritted teeth.

"Grandpa, this is 3,000 spirit stones."

"3,000?" Zhou Changyi said with approval in Soviet eyes: "Didn't you say 5,000 just now?"

"Ahem, Grandpa, that... the wind was strong on the way back, and the wind broke the storage bag, and I lost 2,000." Zhou Daocheng said with a straight face and a calm heart.

Zhou Changyi twitched his lips, looking at Zhou Daocheng with a serious face, and felt that his forehead was full of black lines: "Whose storage is this? The quality is so poor. Grandpa will take you to ask for an explanation."

"Ahem, there is no need to be so troublesome."

"Well, the storage bag was blown open, and the items inside fell into the space turbulence. There is nothing we can do about it, but it happened that two thousand pieces were lost, which is really strange."

Zhou Daocheng widened his eyes and said: "Grandpa, you should know my character. I have always been resolute and upright, and I am frank. I never lie to others."

Zhou Changyi couldn't help but pursed his lips and looked at this grandson with thick eyebrows and big eyes, quite helpless: "You also fooled Zhao Chengchuan in this way? Did he believe it?"

"Believed it!"

"Well, well, this matter is originally for you to solve, take the 2,000 spirit stones." Zhou Changyi smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly. He couldn't control this grandson for a while, so he had to let go.

Zhou Daocheng smiled happily, bowed respectfully, and then said goodbye and left directly, fearing that the master would regret it.

Originally, handing over 3,000 spirit stones was enough to make him feel distressed, but this was also a helpless move. The affairs of the Zhao family must not be treated as a joke. Once some accidents happen, destroying the Zhao family is a small matter, but affecting the Zhou family will be troublesome.

Moreover, as a vassal of the Zhou family, the Zhao family originally belonged to the family. It was appropriate for him to take 2,000 spirit stones. If he took all of them, it would be unreasonable.

Watching Zhou Daocheng leave with satisfaction, Zhou Changyi sighed silently: "This kid... Don't let my Zhou family's style go astray. But the affairs of the Zhao family should be taken seriously."

When talking about the Zhao family, the originally peaceful face suddenly showed a trace of ruthlessness. The eyes hidden in the shadows became deeper.

After a long while, Zhou Changyi suddenly sighed and said slowly: "Uncle San, I can't seem to understand Daocheng..."

A few seconds later, an old man walked out of the shadows behind the hall. His temples were gray due to the erosion of time, but his posture was unusually upright, and his aura was as vast as the abyss, giving people an unshakable feeling.

This person is the real pillar of the Zhou family in Tianchi Mountain, the only elder of the Yong generation, a third-level foundation-building expert, and the current patriarch of the Zhou family.

Zhou Yonghan walked out slowly, his eyes drooping calmly, and after coughing twice, he said: "The Dao generation has indeed produced several extraordinary children. Before, there was Daobai Daoqi, and now Daocheng has shown extraordinary talent and determination. This is really God's blessing for my Zhou family!"

Zhou Changyi couldn't help but sigh: "Daocheng is a child. I watched him grow up. Although he was mature and sophisticated since he was a child. But he didn't really enter my field of vision. It's just that in the recent period of time, he suddenly changed a lot, it seems that... after he became a Taoist partner with the Zhao family girl."

"Ahem, maybe he is hiding his shortcomings, maybe he is awakening, everything changes. The human heart is even more treacherous, who can really see through it. "

Zhou Changyi looked up sadly at the words, looking at the misty Tianchi Mountain outside the window, his cold eyes revealed tenderness, and he couldn't help asking:

"Then, patriarch, who do you think can lead the Zhou family in this generation of Dao characters and lead the family for the next thousands of years?"

Zhou Yonghan stood with his hands behind his back, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled face: "If you can't tell, then keep watching. We old men will support the family for a few more years, and it's time to hand everything over to the children."

Then, he sighed again and couldn't help but sigh...
