"A fourth-level Qi gathering martial arts monk?"
Hearing Wang Zhuhe's words, Wang Danhe was dumbfounded. It took him a while to come back to his senses and murmured to himself: "Who the hell is that little beast...?"
A fourth-level Qi-gathering martial arts monk, even if placed in Yunfeng County, is still a giant and can support a prominent family.
And this kind of person actually came all the way from the county town to Qingshan Town to support the reopening of Zhou Donghuang's Yunxuan Restaurant
"I think it doesn't matter who he is... just know that he is someone we can't afford to offend in this life."
Wang Zhuhe smiled bitterly and said: "A fourth-level Qi Gathering martial arts monk whose biological son had one of his legs crippled by Zhou Donghuang can still be so groveling in front of Zhou Donghuang. This is enough to explain a lot."
"That's Lu Qinghu, the head of the Lu family in the county! The three poor families, the Lu family, the Ma family and the Fang family, have been able to establish a foothold under the eyes of the prominent families in the county over the years. Not only is it all due to him. But he takes at least half of the credit.”
As a low-grade pharmacist, Wang Zhuhe traveled to the county frequently, so he naturally knew that Lu Qinghu was a very powerful person.
The Zhong Family Mansion.
"How can it be?!"
The three brothers Zhong Gang, Zhong Yi and Zhong Xiu gathered together again. They looked at each other and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.
"That Zhou Donghuang deposed the sons of the heads of three top poor families. Not only did they not seek revenge on Zhou Donghuang, but they also came to send maids and servants to Zhou Donghuang? They also traveled thousands of miles to Qingshan Town to support the reopening of the company. Yunxuan Restaurant to support you?”
This news made the three of them feel extremely incredible, as if they were living in a dream.
"You three are here? Just right!"
A tall, bald, middle-aged man wearing a gray robe and a slightly ferocious face stepped into the courtyard where the three of them were.
"father."
Zhong Gang and the others saluted respectfully.
Listening to what they called the visitor, it was obvious that the visitor was Zhong Yun, the contemporary head of the Zhong family.
"I heard that there is some rift between the three of you and Zhou Donghuang, the owner of Yunxuan Restaurant?"
Zhong Yun stared at the three of them with lightning eyes, and his expression turned completely gloomy.
"Dad, we... just made a few jokes with him."
Zhong Gang said hesitantly.
Before Zhong Yi and Zhong Xiu could speak, Zhong Yun glanced at the three of them coldly, "From now on, when you see him, you must respectfully call me 'Young Master Donghuang'. If you dare, please let me know." What a cowardly gesture.”
"If you let me know that you dare to be disrespectful to him again, don't blame me for ripping off your skin!"
After leaving these words coldly, Zhong Yun just walked away, leaving only Zhong Gang, Zhong Yi and Zhong Xiu looking at each other in silence.
"I really can't figure it out... How could a martial arts loser like a pheasant suddenly fly up a branch and turn into a phoenix?"
Zhong Xiu spoke angrily, his tone full of unwillingness.
Now, Zhong Xiu's mood was as if someone who had been stepped on by her in the past suddenly stepped on her.
…
After Yunxuan Restaurant reopened, Zhou Donghuang's life also returned to peace. In addition to practicing, he still practiced.
During this period, Zhou Donghuang thought that people from the Li family would come to his door to cause trouble for him, but they did not come and seemed to have completely disappeared.
However, Zhou Donghuang thought about it and felt relieved again.
Yunxuan Restaurant has reopened and has entered the fourth level of Qi Gathering. Lu Qinghu, the head of the Lu family who has led the Lu family to become a prominent family, traveled thousands of miles to Qingshan Town to support him, as if he had completely forgotten that he had abandoned his son's leg. Things.
It is not difficult for the Li family to know about this matter.
And just this incident was enough to make the Li family extremely fearful of him and not dare to act rashly.
On January 31, 1228 in the Ziyun calendar, the last day of the month, Zhou Donghuang successfully entered the 'Third Level of Qi Gathering' and became a third-level Qi Gathering martial arts monk with the power of three bulls.
Of course, the power of the three bulls is just the power brought to him by his true energy.
His own ultimate muscle strength exceeds a thousand kilograms. The power he can now exert is comparable to that of an ordinary fourth-level Qi gathering martial arts monk.
With his various martial arts skills, he is not afraid even against ordinary Qi-gathering fifth-level martial arts monks.
"Mom, have you ever thought about returning to the Lin family in the county?"
Zhou Donghuang asked Lin Lan.
With his current strength, even if he goes to the county town, he can still occupy a place alone.
However, he knew that his mother could not let go of the Lin family's identity.
"Donghuang, the master of the family has an order... I, Lin Lan, shall not step foot in the door of the Lin family without being summoned by the family."
Lin Lan smiled bitterly.
The Lin family in the county town was her home. If she had a choice, how could she leave her home and wander around
Precisely because she has average martial arts talent and is a descendant of the collateral family, she was sent to Qingshan Town by the Lin family to be responsible for establishing and running the Chamber of Commerce.
In the eyes of the Lin family, she is just a money-making tool. As long as she is worth exploiting, they will not let her go back to the Lin family to rest.
"Mom, the reason why the head of the Lin family gave such an order is because he didn't know that after you leaked the Lin family's prescription for hemostatic powder, you also gave the Lin family a better prescription for hemostatic powder."
Zhou Donghuang's eyes flashed, "This time, I will accompany you back to clear your name."
"As long as your name is corrected, even the head of the Lin family will not be able to find any excuse not to allow you, a descendant of the Lin family, to return to the Lin family."
When his cultivation reached the third level of Qi Gathering, Zhou Donghuang planned to leave Qingshan Town and settle down in the county town.
Compared with Qingshan Town, the county town is more convenient in all aspects.
"Donghuang, are you sure?"
Lin Lan was a little moved, but she couldn't help but worry, "If you're not sure, you can wait a little longer..."
"Mom, if I'm not sure, I won't tell you this."
Zhou Donghuang shook his head and smiled.
"Okay, mother will go back with you."
Lin Lan's eyes lit up, and the long-buried haze in her heart completely dissipated at this moment, just like the sky cleared after the rain.
Seeing that Lin Lan agreed, Zhou Donghuang ordered Ah Fu to prepare to go.
Now, Ah Fu is busy practicing, and has handed over the position of shopkeeper of Yunxuan Restaurant to the leader of a group of clerks and maids from the three major families, a descendant of the Lu family named 'Lu Qing'. She is a woman, but she is very capable and careful.
Normally, apart from practicing, Ah Fu would stay in the courtyard behind Yunxuan Restaurant, waiting for Zhou Donghuang's orders.
"Afu, you should have entered the first level of Qi Gathering, right?"
When Ah Fu took the order and was about to leave, Zhou Donghuang asked him.
According to his estimate, even if Afu's talent is average, he has already had a foundation in cultivation. With the top skill in the universe "Thunder and Fire Body Refining Technique" and the Qi Gathering Powder that enhances the sense of Qi six times, he should have almost reached the stage of Qi Gathering. One weight.
"Master, I just walked in yesterday."
Ah Fu smiled innocently.
"good."
Zhou Donghuang nodded, "Being able to break through in such a short period of time shows that you have worked hard and are not lazy... Okay, go get ready. We will leave Qingshan Town tomorrow."
After being praised by Zhou Donghuang, Afu was immediately flattered. When he was preparing to leave Qingshan Town, he seemed to be carrying a gust of wind when he walked.
He was leaving tomorrow. Zhou Donghuang paid a visit to the Qin family's residence. Although Qin Yi, the old head of the Qin family, and Qin Long, the head of the Qin family, came out to greet him, he always responded with indifference.
"I'm looking for Xiaoyu."
Under the bitter gazes of Qin Yi and Qin Long, Zhou Donghuang found Qin Xiaoyu, and Qin Xiaoyu's father Qin Zhen happened to be there.
"Brother Donghuang, are you leaving Qingshan Town?"
Hearing Zhou Donghuang say that he was leaving tomorrow, the little girl immediately cried with reluctance, tears streaming down her face. No matter how she coaxed her, it was no use, "Brother Donghuang, can you not leave? If you leave, it will be difficult for Xiaoyu to see you again." it's your turn."
"Silly girl, as long as you want to see me, you can go to the county town at any time... Then, you can just go to the owner of Yunxuan Restaurant, Lu Qing, to make arrangements."
Zhou Donghuang touched Qin Xiaoyu's head and said with a smile: "As for Lu Qing, I will ask Ah Fu to greet her in advance."
"Really?"
Only then did Qin Xiaoyu stop crying.
"If you don't believe me, you should believe your father, right?"
Zhou Donghuang looked at Qin Zhen, who was standing aside, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhen, if Xiaoyu wants to go back to the county town, you can go with her."
"Yes, Master Donghuang."
Qin Zhen responded respectfully.
"Uncle Zhen, you don't need to be restrained in front of me, and you don't need to call me Young Master Donghuang. You can just call me Donghuang like before."
Zhou Donghuang shook his head.
"Yes, Master Donghuang."
Qin Zhen spoke like this again, and Zhou Donghuang insisted again that he change his words.
Because he knows that now, after the three heads of the Lu family, Ma family and Fang family came to Qingshan Town, his status in Qin Zhen's eyes has been completely different.
After saying goodbye to Qin Xiaoyu, Zhou Donghuang was personally escorted out of the Qin family's residence by Qin Yi and Qin Long.
Whether in the process of entering or leaving, Zhou Donghuang did not say a word to Qin Yi and Qin Long asking them to take care of Qin Xiaoyu.
With his current status in the eyes of Qin Yi and Qin Long, they knew what to do even if he didn't say anything.
…
In the early morning of February 1, 1228 in the Ziyun calendar, a carriage pulled by a bloody horse left Qingshan Town and headed towards Yunfeng County.
Since leaving Qingshan Town, Lin Lan has been opening the curtains of the carriage carriage, watching Qingshan Town getting smaller and smaller, and finally disappearing at the end of the road and disappearing in front of her eyes. She just closed the curtains again and sighed longly. .
"Mom, if you want to come back in the future, we can come back at any time."
Zhou Donghuang consoled him.
"Actually, there is nothing to miss... After all, the Magnolia Chamber of Commerce is gone. I just want to take a few more glances at this small town where I have been staying for more than ten years without knowing it."
Lin Lan shook his head and smiled.
"Donghuang, where is Hanfeng? It seems that you haven't seen him since you came back from the county town half a month ago."
This time when she went to the county town, Lin Lan still didn't see Leng Hanfeng. She couldn't help but frowned, "You didn't drive him away because he told mother about it, right?"
"How can it be."
Zhou Donghuang shook his head and smiled, "Mom, I asked him to go out to do some errands. When he finishes his errands and returns to Qingshan Town, he will naturally come to find us when he finds out that we have gone to the county town."
