339: Go to Bai's
Dragon Cloudfrost's voice was calm, not showing any hint of dissatisfaction.
Facing this imperial Family descendant, Zhou Luo knew clearly that if he pushed his luck, it would inevitably displease the other party.
For someone without a background like him, relying solely on a legendary Immortal destiny to bluff the other party would certainly be meaningless.
So, after a brief moment of thought, Zhou Luo said seriously, "I need Manager Long's friendship."
These words seemed to gain nothing, even having a flattering connotation.
But upon careful consideration, gaining the friendship of an imperial Family descendant would undoubtedly be extremely beneficial in the long run.
Even currently, the other party was very likely to become his background.
Dragon Cloudfrost's beautiful eyes flashed, and a hint of surprise flickered in her gaze as she looked at him.
She hadn't expected that this man in front of her would ask for this.
For a moment, she thought more highly of the other party.
It seemed the other party was also someone who knew the bigger picture and understood reason.
Such a person was good; they knew what should be done and what shouldn't, and wouldn't be short-sighted or greedy.
After a while, Dragon Cloudfrost spoke, "To gain my friendship, you must show your value."
She certainly wouldn't agree to the other party easily, as this matter was larger than imagined.
As a descendant with imperial Family blood, if she casually became someone's background and reliance, she didn't know how much trouble it would bring upon herself.
Facing these words, Zhou Luo had already thought of a response. He chuckled softly, "Manager Long will know my value in the future."
The other party not outright refusing gave the matter room for maneuver.
Since that was the case, there was no need to rush. There was still a long time, and he was confident he could slowly win over the other party.
If he had an imperial Family descendant standing behind him, perhaps it would be more convenient to act in the future.
"I hope you can surprise me," Dragon Cloudfrost said flatly.
"I will," Zhou Luo said.
Such a straightforward answer somewhat surprised Dragon Cloudfrost. She didn't say anything more, only asking Zhou Luo to arrange for someone to handle the handover, and then let him leave.
Walking out of the Tianxia Tavern, Zhou Luo let out a long breath.
This new person in charge wasn't that difficult to deal with. If handled properly, perhaps she could become his greatest reliance in the future.
In the world of Immortals, connections were always one of the most important things.
Often, lonely and bitter cultivating Immortals, who are alone, have limited achievements throughout their lives.
Because without connections, you cannot obtain many things, and you cannot do many things.
Having an imperial Family descendant as his connection meant that in the Immortal City in the future, he wouldn't have to worry about being targeted by others, at least.
Even the Azure Origin Sect would be wary.
Afterward, Zhou Luo found Wang Lang and informed him of the relevant matters.
After listening, Wang Lang patted his chest and said he would definitely cooperate well with the Tianxia Tavern.
If Dragon Cloudfrost was very important to Zhou Luo, someone he needed to rely on,
Then Zhou Luo was Wang Lang's greatest reliance.
Moreover, as Zhou Luo's performance became more outstanding, this idea became more deeply ingrained.
So much so that now, Wang Lang basically unconditionally stood by Zhou Luo's side, doing whatever the other party asked him to do.
After a simple explanation, Zhou Luo returned to the Zhou Residence.
"Husband, there's a letter from the Zhou Family."
As soon as he returned, Yao Wu, holding a small boy's hand, took out a letterhead with the Lin Family crest on it.
This was Yao Wu's third child, now five years old.
This child did not have the terrifying talent of his older siblings, only a Six-Rank Spiritual Root.
Taking the letterhead, Zhou Luo opened it directly and scanned it with his Divine Sense.
Every so often, Lin Xi would report on the current state of the Zhou Family.
Now Lin Xi was in seclusion, and Zhou Family matters were temporarily being handled by Lin Jinxuan.
Over these ten years, the Lin Family had gradually recovered from the great battle of that year.
Now the Zhou Family showed a scene of prosperity.
Most of the content in the letter was about mundane Family matters, but the only thing Zhou Luo cared about was Bai Zhiyan's matter.
It mentioned that Bai Zhiyan wanted to go home and see.
Back then, she was plotted against by Evil Cultivators and abducted to Maple Leaf City. If Zhou Luo hadn't stepped in righteously, she might have already perished.
Later, Zhou Luo learned that the other party was a Main Family descendant of the Bai Family, a Immortal Family from the Crimson Radiance Domain.
At that time, because the two sides were hostile forces, Zhou Luo didn't dare to expose this news and didn't let Bai Zhiyan return.
Now, it had been more than forty years since she left her Family.
Approaching seventy years old, she still wanted to go home and see.
The current Lin Family was basically under Zhou Luo's control, so there was no need to worry about bad results.
After thinking, Zhou Luo decided to satisfy the other party.
With his current strength, even without taking Bai, going to the Bai Family was not a problem.
Even if he was pursued and killed by the Crimson Light Sect, he had the confidence to retreat safely.
After all, these days, killing a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, unless a Golden Core True Person made a move, it was indeed a bit difficult.
And with the Talisman Treasure, he could exert its full power. Even if a Golden Core True Person made a move, he might be able to resist one or two blows.
After making the decision, Zhou Luo explained a few things to Yao Wu and then left the Immortal City.
He believed Wang Lang would handle the subsequent matters in the Immortal City. As for the imperial Family descendant, he had already told Wang Lang to notify him if there was any news.
For this, Zhou Luo even specially prepared a communication tool for Wang Lang.
Although this tool could not transmit sound or images, its advantage was long-distance communication.
The Bai Family in the Crimson Radiance Domain was not close to Qingyuan City, and it also required crossing two major domains.
If a situation really arose at that time, Zhou Luo only needed to sense it to react immediately.
With Zhou Luo's current speed, it only took a few hours for him to rush from Qingyuan City to Maple Leaf City by flying boat.
Returning to the Zhou Family, he directly landed at the Family Head's residence.
He saw a gentle and dignified, beautiful and charming woman in luxurious clothes sitting in front of the study table, concentrating on reading Jade Slips one by one.
Her jade neck was snow-white, and the magnificent outline of her chest was faintly visible. It was Lin Jinxuan.
"Husband, you're back."
Seeing the other party, Lin Jinxuan immediately stood up, her eyebrows and eyes full of joy.
"Yes, is everything well with the Zhou Family?" Zhou Luo asked.
"All is well, nothing major has happened," Lin Jinxuan said with a smile, preparing to make tea for him.
Zhou Luo waved his hand, "I came back this time to take Zhiyan to the Bai Family."
Hearing this, Lin Jinxuan nodded slightly, "Sister Zhiyan has always been thinking about this. Now that Husband has time, it is right to take her home to see."
"Then I will temporarily leave the Family matters to you," Zhou Luo said softly.
"Don't worry, Husband," Lin Jinxuan nodded.
After a brief chat, Zhou Luo came to Bai Zhiyan's room.
The moment she saw him appear, Bai Zhiyan's face showed great joy.
She said happily, "Husband, are you taking me home?"
"It's time to go and see," Zhou Luo nodded slightly.
As a Immortal Family, the Bai Family's foundation should not be low.
If they could establish contact and even cooperate, it might not be a bad thing for the current Zhou Family.
However, this matter still needed careful planning.
