1886: C1886 Fool to the Core

C1886 Fool to the Core

At this point, Zou Jiuzhou felt that the threat was not enough.

Zou Jiuzhou smiled brilliantly as he tucked his hair behind his ears.

"I almost forgot. In my impression, Mr Ye was an outstanding and elegant man. It's said that he obtained the hearts and hearts of many close female friends. He truly makes others envious."

"According to Mr Ye's usual style, those close friends should be in Liverpool, enjoying the atmosphere of the harbor and enjoying the exotic atmosphere, right?"

Ye Lingtian closed his eyes and replied patiently, "As long as the two keys are with Zhu Shigui, I guarantee that they won't fly."

Zou Jiuzhou slowly filled his cup and raised his eyebrows.

"I'm not a worm in Zhu Shigui's stomach. How would he know if he carries it with him or not?"

Ye Lingtian frowned: "If that's the case, then I can't guarantee you the time limit for killing Zhu Shigui."

Zou Jiuzhou paused for a moment and then chose to compromise.

"I will do my best to investigate this matter before deciding on a time to make a move with you."

"I thought you were going to leave everything to me!"

Ye Lingtian felt that until now, Zou Jiuzhou finally said something human and asked for a staff member.

"Perhaps in Mr Ye's eyes, I am the unforgivable devil."

"But putting aside those prejudices, I consider myself a very good collaborator."

Zou Jiuzhou raised his glass and walked to the balcony. He leaned on the railing and looked at the icicles hanging under the eaves.

"The strength of your Infinite Mind lies in your ability to see through it from a certain distance. My Soul Repellent Technique surpasses my ability to control distance."

"No matter what happens in the future, we are now partners. Each of us will use our strengths to do things beautifully, no?"

Ye Lingtian praised, "Miss Zou is a very smart person. It is only natural for her to come here today."

"If the Nine Great Venerables can tightly surround Miss Zou's body, I think this would be a disaster for the immortal."

Zou Jiuzhou had a bitter smile on his face as he tilted his head back and finished the wine in one gulp.

"Surrounded by me? Is that possible? "

Thinking about the past, Zou Jiuzhou threw his wine cup to the distance, his tone more or less helpless.

"In their hearts, not only me, Zou Jiuzhou, but even Ma Qingkong is nothing."

"Everyone has a little plan in mind to charge into the Immortal Level, who cares who they think highly of in the depths of their heart?"

"Speaking of which, isn't it the same for me as well?"

"Now that I think about it, if Nine Great Venerables were to unite together, maybe it would be a completely different case."

It's a good thing you didn't stick together, otherwise I wouldn't be able to play this game.

Ye Lingtian smiled faintly, "I feel that if we were to talk about this issue and Zhu Shigui flies away, we won't be able to finish."

"Seriously, are you going to let Ling Xi go after killing Zhu Shigui?"

"Let Ling Xi go, who will give me the key?"

Zou Jiuzhou widened his eyes in surprise: "Are you treating me like a fool?"

"Do I take you for a fool? "Miss Zou, I think you're the one who's playing me like a monkey, right?"

"If I complete my mission and you refuse to let Ling Xi go, won't I cry to death?"

"Besides, with your current strength, what's the big deal if you meet me?"

"You've learned what needs to be learned. I believe Miss Zou's strength has already surpassed Ma Qingkong's. I should be the one afraid of meeting you."

Zou Jiuzhou's resentment was boundless, as if Ye Lingtian owed her a lot of money in his previous life.

"I really don't dare to meet you. In the Youzhou Wasteland, is Ma Qingkong's performance bad?"

"If it was me, I definitely would not be able to dodge that Earth-shaking slash. Not only did Mr Ye dodge it, he even successfully killed it."

"In the martial arts ring, I think that even Qin Ruyan isn't a match for you, right?"

Zou Jiuzhou's face changed as he spoke and said confidently, "Give the key to Ling Xi after Zhu Shigui is done."

"If there's no problem with my inspection, I will naturally release them."

Zou Jiuzhou turned around and walked into the living room. He sat down on the sofa and turned on the audio system, causing the beautiful music to fly in the air.

"At this stage, the life and death of a Layman is of no importance to me."

"You and I do not have any deep grudges between us. There's no need to go against you."

Ye Lingtian nodded and said into the microphone, "Then I'll wait for your order."

"Alright, thank you for your hard work."

Zou Jiuzhou smiled sweetly into the microphone.

"The winter of Tianjiang has a kind of rough beauty, and before the mission is completed, Mr Ye can walk around and enjoy it."

A busy signal came over the phone, Ye Lingtian threw his phone onto the tea table.

"I'm not as romantic as you think, and I'm not as free as you think."

Ye Lingtian frowned.

After thinking over Zou Jiuzhou's words again and again, he still wasn't sure if Zou Jiuzhou would let Ling Xi go after completing the mission.

Thinking about Gaixia that incomparably sensible little girl, Ye Lingtian felt extremely ashamed between his brows.

"I originally wanted to help you, but who would've thought that it would actually harm you."

Ye Lingtian fiercely pressed his cigarette into the ashtray.

In a certain villa in Tianjiang, Zou Jiuzhou mocked himself as he looked at his makeup in the mirror.

"I think it's funny. I've been a neighbor for so long, but I didn't know the guy upstairs was the famous Ye Lingtian."

"At that time, he seemed to not even have reached the middle section of the Immortal Level, and his aura was concealed so perfectly."

"The Immortal Arts is indeed better than martial arts."

Walking to the bedroom and changing into the outdated down jacket, Zou Jiuzhou lowered his head.

"It's a good thing I mastered the soul repelling technique that night. Otherwise, if I keep playing, I would be exposed."

She sat on the bed. It was as quiet as a windless lake. How was it like the cold Zou Jiuzhou from before?

Thinking about the first time she met Ye Ling in Gaixia, a charming smile flashed across her face.

"After struggling on the line of life and death for so long, after seeing through the evilness of the human heart and staying in the Secret World for so many days, I still have my original intentions."

"Ye Lingtian's state of mind is truly extraordinary, what a pity."

Tianjiang, Fleeting Town, Little Tian Manor.

Every winter, the river to the east of the village would be covered with a thick layer of ice, and the temperature could be imagined.

Under the cold, there was no green, thus standing at the dam looking out into the distance, a desolate piece of land.

As for the forests by the river, even the blooming of the spring flowers was somewhat desolate, let alone now?

On the other hand, the icicles hung from the branches, glittering in the sunlight.

Zhu Shigui came down from the embankment and walked in the forest. He looked up at the icicles hanging from the treetops and the corners of his mouth curled into an innocent smile that did not match his age.

Different from many other Immortal Sect experts, Zhu Shigui had climbed up from the bottom with his talent and hard work.

In climbing higher, he forgot many things.

These include Little Tian Manor, including people from the past.

Just before he reached the riverbank, he arrived at a grave. Because of the passage of time, the tombstone had long since been broken into several pieces.

Zhu Shigui sat down in front of the grave and gently wiped off the fragments of the tombstone with his hand. From the markings, it could be inferred that it should be the words "Zhu Shi".

"You're an idiot, why didn't you remarry?"

"You can't be so stubborn."

Zhu Shigui said in a low voice to the grave bag that was filled with weeds.

Ever since he had embarked on the road of Cultivation Level, his status had become higher and higher, and the number of women by his side had increased.

Many were goddesses that were unattainable.

Except for their physical pleasures, he couldn't find any psychological pleasures in them.

He had always been unwilling to admit that he still remembered that slightly vulgar country girl from Little Tian Manor who could not show her face.

Until one day, when he could no longer hold it in and returned to the Tianjiang, to the homeland that had raised him for eighteen years.

Unfortunately, the girl who had once run with him through the woods in a ponytail had long since turned into dust.

He could live on in this world for a long time, but she could not.

He had thought he would be able to see her once he got home.

But who would have thought that in the cold and desolate world of Tianjiang, with her leading her child by her side, how long could she last?

That was the first time Zhu Shigui returned to his hometown since entering the Immortal Sect.

This time, when he returned to his hometown, Zhu Shigui's heart was filled with mixed feelings.

What appeared in his mind were the scenes from many years ago.

One should not be too selfish, or there will be retribution.

Back then, if he had brought the mother and son pair along with him, it was true that his chances of breaking through Immortal Level was not very high.

So what if he had attacked Immortal Level?

He had lived alone for so many years, yet he couldn't even find someone to speak the truth. Was this happiness?

Time was indeed the greatest enemy of life, and everyone wanted to live for a long time in this world.

This was a beautiful dream.

Once the dream became a reality, many people would discover that longevity was actually not that beautiful.

"Death is scary, but it is also the death that makes you realize the value of life."

"Only when you realize how precious life is will you be able to cherish the few days you have left and the people around you."

"If you treasure it, happiness will naturally follow."

Zhu Shigui smiled at the grave.

"I have always wanted to attack Divine level Martial Cultivator, hoping to live a wonderful life with the heavens and the earth. If it wasn't for the cultivators from that world aggressively attacking me, perhaps I wouldn't have awakened."

"Without joy, what's the point of eternal life?"

"Without a family that can be proud of you, it would be boring no matter how high we go."

Saying that, Zhu Shigui turned around and looked at the grave, which was also falling not far away.

"When I returned that year, I should have seen him. I should have told him that his father wasn't dead, but how capable he was."

"When he needed me the most, I did not appear. When he was buried, I did not appear either."

"I'm not a good husband, or a good father, or a good son!"

"Perhaps …"

Zhu Shigui turned around, looked at the man slowly walking over from the distance and muttered to himself.

"Perhaps even more so, they are not good people."

While Zhu Shigui was filled with emotion, Ye Lingtian had already arrived in front of him. He looked him up and down and was happy.

"I never thought that Little Tian Manor is actually the homeland of one of the Four Great Honored Warriors of the Tianji Sect."

Ye Lingtian held the Han Knife and turned around to look at the village not far away and sighed: "I never thought that the family of the Venerable One would be so ordinary."

Zhu Shigui followed Ye Lingtian's gaze and looked over, maintaining his silence.

"Sir Zhu Shigui, in order to play hide and seek, I'm afraid there aren't any other people in the Nine Great Venerables besides you, right?"

Ye Lingtian sneered.

Zhu Shigui nodded, placed his hands behind his back, and looked at the sky.

"Originally, I thought I had done a beautiful job, but now, I realized that the one playing is me."

"It's fine if you don't see your loved ones, but it's better if you don't create a good living environment for them."1

"Very stupid, very stupid."
