Si Xinghe was forced to call Zhou Zhou 'brother' at the dinner table.
Although the other person was older than him and it was normal to call him 'brother', the way the two got along in the past few years, as well as Zhou Wei's child-like image and temperament, made Si Xinghe feel awkward no matter what he thought.
After dinner, Zhou Zhou followed Si Xinghe to his study.
"Actually, I'm more than 35 years old."
Zhou Qi was sitting on the sofa, playing with the game figures he took off the bookshelf next to him.
"Do you also play this game? Which district are you in?"
Si Xinghe glanced at it and said, "I play a few games when I'm bored, but it's not fun."
"What did you mean when you said you were more than 35 years old?"
He sat on the sofa opposite Zhou Qi, lying back lazily as a habit, with his legs crossed and raised.
Zhou Zhou looked up at him and smiled, "For the world of cultivation, time is just a meaningless number. Many people can't even remember their own age."
Si Xinghe glanced sideways and said, "Are you trying to tell me that you are actually an old monster?"
"Hahaha... It's not that exaggerated, but I have indeed lived for a long time. The reason why the vice president of the Dynasty is mysterious is because if he often looks at people in a high-profile manner, it will be too eye-catching and it will easily arouse people's suspicion."
Zhou Qi's eyes were so sincere that Si Xinghe could tell them even through his glasses.
He didn't tell lies.
Moreover, he had no need to lie about this kind of thing.
"Why are you telling me this?"
Si Xinghe put Erlang's legs down, sat up slightly and just looked at Zhou Qi.
Zhou Zhou put the figure back on the bookshelf, "Heart for heart, idol, you trust me so much and take me home, of course I will make you and your family feel at ease."
It's like this again, it seems like nothing can be hidden from this man's eyes.
Si Xinghe said: "Don't mind, we were bitten by a snake once, we just don't want what happened many years ago to happen again."
Zhou Zhou smiled and said, "There is no need to feel guilty about this kind of thing. It's human nature and I can understand it. If it were me in your place, I'd probably be more cautious than you."
After a pause, Zhou Zhou took out his cell phone, opened an encrypted email, turned it over, and handed it to Si Xinghe to read.
"What's this?"
"Clues to the second treasure map."
Si Xinghe's pupils shrank, he took the phone and took a closer look.
"'Only because you are in this mountain', a trip to explore the secrets of Mount Lu?"
Si Xinghe raised his head, "Is this what it is?"
Zhou Zhou shrugged his shoulders, "A travel agency organized an activity to explore the secrets of Mount Lu, and it also carried the banner of 'Only because I am in this mountain'. It echoed the poem on the previous treasure map. I concluded that there is a connection between the two. There is definitely a connection.”
Si Xinghe looked at the email carefully again, "Why is there no name of the travel agency?"
"This is the news that my assistant found through special channels. The details have not been announced yet. I think this travel agency wants to use a special time to announce it to the world."
Zhou Zhou looked at Si Xinghe, "But I checked and found that this travel agency definitely does not belong to the world of cultivation."
Si Xinghe understood what he meant and nodded, "I will send people to investigate in the supernatural world and ordinary people, but thank you for telling me this clue."
The two chatted for a while, and Zhou Zhou was ready to leave, but before leaving, he asked Si Xinghe another question.
"Are you really going to raise that grandson of the Bu family as your son?"
