Although it was a little dark at night, Yang Qi could still see at a glance that there was indeed a name Zhou written on the end of the sheepskin. If the person in front of him was indeed from the Zhou family, then this sheepskin might really be something left behind by the other party's ancestors.
"Since you have already obtained the sheepskin, why did you come here in the middle of the night?" Yang Qi's face darkened and he said coldly.
He didn't care about the sheepskin at all. Since it belonged to the Zhou family, it didn't hurt his parents if the Zhou family took it away. But the other party came in the middle of the night, obviously with other intentions. After all, the sheepskin that Yang Fei dug out was taken away by Zhou Tong.
"Senior, please allow me to report." Zhou Tong hurriedly said, "When our ancestor disappeared, he also took away the token that had been passed down from generation to generation in the family. Now that the sheepskin has appeared here, I think the token may have appeared, so I came here to investigate. I really don't know where this place is, so I came to the senior's home."
Family keepsake
Hearing this, Yang Qi's heart skipped a beat. Could the token Zhou Tong was talking about be the ring that Yang Fei dug up
This ring is a storage ring. Now that Yang Qi has recognized it as the owner, he is somewhat reluctant to hand it over. After all, he doesn't know if there is another treasure like this.
"What family token?" Yang Qi frowned.
"It is a jade pendant left by the ancestor of the Zhou family. When the ancestor left, he took the jade pendant with him and disappeared without a trace." Zhou Tong said with a wry smile.
Jade pendant
Yang Qi was stunned. He thought Zhou Tong was talking about the ring. Since the ring was not a token of trust, he naturally had no intention of returning it.
"When your ancestor disappeared, what level of cultivation was he at?" Yang Qi suddenly asked.
"Hua Jin, my Zhou family was a well-known martial arts family in Qingchuan back then, but unfortunately our ancestors disappeared and the inheritance was cut off. For countless years, not to mention Hua Jin, even those who have stepped into the level of An Jin are few and far between." Zhou Tong said helplessly. There were countless martial arts families in history whose inheritance was cut off like the Zhou family. Even the Mu family, with a Hua Jin warrior like Mu Ying in charge, was worried that their inheritance would be cut off, let alone a martial arts family like Zhou Tong whose inheritance was cut off.
Hua Jin? No wonder...
Yang Qi nodded secretly in his heart. It seemed that the ring should have been obtained by the Zhou family ancestor accidentally. To recognize the master by dripping blood, one must be a strong warrior above the martial arts master level. At that time, the ancestor of the Zhou family was only at the level of Huajin. According to the strength of the Tianwu Continent, he was just a martial arts apprentice and could not recognize the master by dripping blood.
Although some treasures can be recognized by dripping blood, but dripping blood to recognize the owner also has certain requirements for one's own strength, and it is not something that can be done casually.
"I have never seen the jade pendant you mentioned, and I believe my father hasn't picked it up either." Yang Qi said lightly.
Hearing this, Zhou Tong's expression dimmed. The value of the jade pendant was not high, but for the Zhou family, it was a spiritual symbol, not beneath those sheepskins. Of course, he did not doubt Yang Qi's words at all. With Yang Qi's strength, he didn't care about an ordinary jade pendant at all, and there was no need to lie to him. But it was precisely because of this that he knew that it would be difficult to find the jade pendant!
"I don't want my family to be disturbed, do you understand what I mean?" Yang Qi looked at Zhou Tong and said slowly.
"Yes, I understand." Zhou Tong trembled and nodded quickly.
Not to mention the Zhou family, which had long been in decline, even the Zhou family during the period when there were Hua Jin warriors would not easily provoke a Hua Jin warrior.
"Junior, take your leave." Zhou Tong looked dejected. He said goodbye carefully before disappearing into the darkness.
"I was overthinking." Yang Qi shook his head slightly. The ring should have been obtained by the Zhou family's ancestors accidentally, not something from the Zhou family. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Zhou family's ancestors not to explain it. After all, this thing is an extremely precious treasure even in the Tianwu Continent, let alone on Earth where martial arts are not popular.
Shaking his head, Yang Qi stopped thinking about it. He was not worried that Zhou Tong would go back on his promise, unless the Zhou family was willing to bear the wrath of a martial artist!
"But some necessary warnings are still needed." Yang Qi said secretly. Although Zhou Tong promised him that he would not look for his parents again, he still planned to give some warnings to the Zhou family through Mu Ying, letting them know that not only was his strength far superior to the Zhou family, but he also had powerful forces behind him to support him. Only in this way would the Zhou family not have any ideas!
The next morning, Yang Qi called Mu Ying on his way to Qingzhou City to inform her that the Mu family owed Yang Qi a great favor because of Mu Yan's matter. This little thing was a piece of cake for the Mu family. As soon as Yang Qi returned to Qingzhou, Mu Ying informed him that the matter had been settled. Zhou Tong would never dare to disturb Yang Qi's family.
After getting Mu Ying's assurance, Yang Qi was completely relieved. He was not like those old monsters who had lived for countless years in Tianwu Continent. To him, his family was also an extremely important part of him.
After returning to Qingzhou, Yang Qi learned that Shi Dong was ready to move out of the school. It was already late August in the forest, and Wang Xin was about to start work. It was not convenient for the two to live in the school urgently, so they had to rent a house elsewhere.
On this day, Yang Qi was practicing when he was awakened by a sudden phone call.
"Zhang Chaosheng?" Yang Qi was stunned when he saw the incoming call. To be honest, he and Zhang Chaosheng had only met once, and it was because the elixir he gave to save the other party, and then the other party came to thank him.
Because Zhang Chaosheng was a member of the National Security Bureau's Ninth Bureau, Yang Qi would not have had any contact with him normally, but he did not expect that the other party would suddenly call him.
"Captain Zhang, you are a very busy man. Why did you think of calling me?" Yang Qi asked curiously.
Although the Ninth Bureau of the National Security Bureau has several teams, it usually needs to manage all matters related to the warrior level in China. It is no exaggeration to say that it is very busy.
"Senior, a group of strong men from the Duanmu family suddenly entered China and lost their trace. We suspect they are coming for you." Zhang Chaosheng said in a deep voice over the phone.
"Duanmu family?" Yang Qi was stunned and a little confused. He didn't know anyone from the Duanmu family.
"The ninjas from the Duanmu family were the ones who stole the experimental samples. They must have discovered something." Zhang Chaosheng said.
No matter how powerful the Duanmu family is, they are just an intermediate force of the Koga Ninja School of the island country. They don't have the strength to retaliate against the National Security Bureau. The only possibility is to retaliate against Yang Qi who is alone.
"How do they know of my existence?" Yang Qi's face darkened and he said with some displeasure.
At first he asked Zhang Chaosheng and others to keep it secret, but he didn't expect that the matter would be leaked out. Although Yang Qi is a martial artist, he is absolutely unwilling to fight to the death with the ninjas of the island country. That is a country.
"The senior went in and out of the police station and the hospital, and many people knew about it. Although we have issued a gag order, there are many people who talk nonsense..." Zhang Chaosheng said helplessly. Naturally, they dared not disclose Yang Qi's affairs. (To be continued)
