Chapter 37 - 37

Chapter 37: Chapter 37 In the private room, Xiao Ruqian's eyes were dull. After a long time, her face began to change slowly and finally turned purple. Her eyes were extremely angry and she roared, "Zhou Peng, you'll regret it..." When she said this, Zhou Peng had already left. Regret? Any man would regret marrying such a woman. She's only sixteen but already like that. Who knows how many green hats a man would have to wear in the future if he married her. — Zhou Peng was in a better mood. After eating something, he wondered why the fat man and Heiyan hadn't come back yet. Don't they eat when they practice? They are too hard - working, aren't they? Suddenly thinking that he had consumed more than 6,000 qigong points today, Zhou Peng felt a pain in his heart again. He was ready to enter the mountains on the edge of the Kunlun Mountains to hunt monsters. Accumulating more qigong points is not a bad thing after all. After giving some instructions to Zhang Dafu, he walked towards the north of the city. The Kunlun Mountains are a certain distance from Qinghe City. There is a post station in the north of the city that provides various horses for transportation or tamed monsters. For them, it takes only an hour or so to cover dozens of kilometers. Zhou Peng didn't want to waste his qigong running there, so he rented a horse directly at the post station. Just as he got on the horse's back, a servant of the Zhou family came running out of breath and walked to Zhou Peng, gasping, "Young master Zhou Peng... the clan leader wants to see you." "What does he want from me?" Zhou Peng guessed secretly in his heart and then asked, "Did the clan leader say what it was about?" The servant ran too fast and his face was red. Obviously, his cultivation level was very low. He was so tired after such a short distance. Probably his strength was not at the third level of a martial artist. He took a few deep breaths and his face got a little better. He said, "The clan leader didn't say. He just asked you to go back to the Zhou family and said there was something to discuss." It was useless for Zhou Peng to ask. How could Zhou Zhantian tell a servant about the matter? At the moment, he didn't think too much about it. He got off the horse and followed the servant towards the Zhou family. Although he didn't like what Zhou Zhantian did, after all, he was the clan leader of the Zhou family, so he should give him some face. After all, he wanted to use the Zhou family. On the way, Zhou Peng secretly guessed what Zhou Zhantian wanted from him. Something to discuss? What could he discuss with him? He had no say in important matters. "Could it be that the Zhao family has sent someone to argue?" Thinking of Zhao Jiannan's embarrassed appearance, Zhou Peng couldn't help but smile. The Zhao family really wouldn't come to the door for such a thing. Who would like to publicize embarrassing things? Of course, the Zhao family has always been unyielding. Although Zhao Jiannan suffered a loss temporarily, he would surely get revenge in the future. But at that time, it was hard to say whether Zhou Peng would still be in Qinghe City. The Zhou family was in the north of the city, so soon Zhou Peng came to the Zhou family. The servant took him to Zhou Zhantian's private residence and then respectfully said to the door, "Report to the clan leader, young master Zhou Peng is here." After a while, Zhou Zhantian opened the door, looked at Zhou Peng with a smile and said, "Xiaotian, come in quickly." Looking at Zhou Zhantian's kind smile, Zhou Peng knew that there must be nothing good. Zhou Peng saluted respectfully and walked into the house. The interior layout was very elegant, like the room of a scholar. There were several wild grass calligraphy and paintings hanging in the room, with dragons and snakes wriggling, vigorous and powerful. Zhou Peng thought to himself, "I didn't expect that Zhou Zhantian had such elegance." Zhou Zhantian also smiled faintly. In addition to cultivation, he also had deep attainments in calligraphy. However, he didn't like to show off these. After Zhou Zhantian sat down, he motioned for Zhou Peng to sit down and casually said, "Thank you for digging out the moths in the Library Pavilion." Zhou Peng smiled faintly and said, "This is what the children of the Zhou family should do. I can't stand the behavior of embezzlement, so I..." Zhou Zhantian squinted at Zhou Peng and then didn't want to beat around the bush. He said directly, "In half a month, it will be the Invitational Tournament of the Four Great Families in Qinghe City. The Elder Council has unanimously decided that you will represent the Zhou family to participate in the competition. Are you willing?" "The Invitational Tournament of the Four Great Families?" Zhou Peng was stunned. Thinking of what Zhao Yi said in the afternoon, he suddenly realized. However, he smiled slyly in his heart. Of course, he could participate in the competition, but without any benefits, he was too lazy to move. It was better to spend more time on killing monsters and upgrading. At the moment, Zhou Peng showed a difficult expression and said with great respect, "Clan leader, my cultivation level is only at the eighth level of a martial artist. How can I represent the Zhou family to participate in the competition? I'm sure I'm not competent. Moreover, my strength is still recovering. I must hurry up and practice." Zhou Zhantian was stunned. His eyes changed. Participating in the competition for the family is a matter of great honor. No matter whether you win or lose, the family will give certain rewards. But Zhou Peng refused directly without thinking about it. Everyone in the Zhou family wanted to participate in this competition. But the quota was limited. Each family could only send three representatives. All the disciples of the younger generation of the Zhou family wanted to participate, but Zhou Peng had no interest at all. This surprised Zhou Zhantian. Being able to participate in the family invitational tournament is the recognition of strength and a kind of honor. But Zhou Peng had never thought about any honor. In his heart, what kind of bullshit honor is just a piece of shit. He has no sense of belonging to the Zhou family. Even if the Zhou family disappeared in Qinghe City at the next moment, he would not feel any pain, and he might even be secretly happy. Without benefits, there is no bullshit honor. If he is to participate in the competition, he must be given benefits. Otherwise, Zhou Peng will definitely not participate. "For the honor of the Zhou family, you must participate." Zhou Zhantian shouted slightly, showing the dignity that a clan leader should have. His words carried a commanding tone. Zhou Peng sneered in his heart, but on his face, he pretended to be slightly shocked and said, "Clan leader, I also want to win honor for the family. But you know that I have just recovered, and my body is still in the conditioning period. I need a large number of pills and time to condition..." While speaking, Zhou Peng glanced at Zhou Zhantian gently and showed a difficult expression. Seeing that Zhou Zhantian didn't say a word, he said again, "Recently, I'm preparing to break through to the Lingdong Realm, but my body always can't keep up..." "Okay, I know." Zhou Zhantian naturally understood what Zhou Peng meant. He smiled and asked, "Can you really break through to the Lingdong Realm?" "If there are enough pills, there should be no problem..." Zhou Peng didn't dare to be too sure. But it should not be difficult to upgrade two levels in half a month, just in case someone interferes. "Pills are not a problem. I'll give you as many as you want. But you must break through to the Lingdong Realm within half a month for me." Zhou Zhantian looked happy. If Zhou Peng could really break through to the Lingdong Realm, there was a great hope of winning the first place in this family invitational tournament. "Clan leader, since you have said so, I can only go all out to break through to the Lingdong Realm. I wonder when the pills will be..." Zhou Peng had an expression of getting an advantage and still acting like a good boy. He was very happy in his heart. This time, Zhou Zhantian was generous enough. He took out ten bottles of Yangshen Pills from the space bracelet at one time and said, "Here are 100 Yangshen Pills. You can take 50 first, and you can come to get the other 50 at any time if you break through to the Lingdong Realm within half a month." "If you can get the first place in this competition, in addition to the competition rewards, the Zhou family will also reward you with a medium - grade spiritual weapon." "A medium - grade spiritual weapon?" Zhou Peng was shocked secretly. Weapons are more scarce than pills. Not to mention medium - grade spiritual weapons, even low - grade spiritual weapons are hard to find with ten thousand gold. Thinking about why Zhou Zhantian was so generous this time? Or did he have other conspiracies? But it was a medium - grade spiritual weapon. Even Heiyan at the Liangang Realm didn't have a decent weapon. Zhou Zhantian gave a medium - grade spiritual weapon at one stroke. Zhou Peng was a little excited... The reason why Zhou Zhantian was so generous was entirely due to the pressure from the Elder Council. Since he became the clan leader of the Zhou family, he had never achieved good results in the Invitational Tournament of the Four Great Families. If he ranked at the bottom again this time, it would be hard to guarantee that it would not affect his position as the clan leader. When he learned that Zhou Peng had defeated Zhao Yi at the third level of the Lingdong Realm in the afternoon, he was surprised. In addition, there was another reason. Did Zhou Peng take the crystal core in the body of the Violent Golden Ape? If Zhoupeng had swallowed the crystal core, his rise would be astonishingly fast within three years. He had to know this and couldn't let anyone threaten his position as the clan leader. Zhou Zhantian was very narrow - minded and couldn't tolerate anyone.
