391: Zhou Shixin

True Person Lieyang's passing didn't cause Yao Wu much sadness; she was merely surprised that such a Golden Core True Person would also pass away suddenly without leaving behind a successor.

"In a few days, the Wan Gu Sect will likely send someone to verify your identity," Zhou Luo said.

This matter had already occurred, and according to Hong Han, the Wan Gu Sect placed great importance on inheritance.

Now that they knew True Person Lieyang had a successor, they would certainly not let the benefits of his lineage fall into the hands of others.

Even if the Sect Head agreed, the Elders who were in the same faction as True Person Lieyang would not agree.

So, it's expected that the Wan Gu Sect will send someone over soon.

Upon hearing this, a complex emotion flickered in Yao Wu's beautiful eyes. She stared at her Husband, like a lost child seeking direction.

"Husband, what do you think I should do?"

Since she was young, she had followed her Master, and later became Zhou Luo's wife. For over a decade, she had primarily been raising children and cultivating. Therefore, facing this matter, she was somewhat at a loss.

Zhou Luo didn't speak immediately. He just suddenly reached out, grasping her fair and delicate jade-like hand, and said gently, "This depends on your choice, because no matter which you choose, there will be risks."

"If you choose to return to the Wan Gu Sect, you will definitely receive systematic guidance, and your future achievements in Gu technique won't be low. But similarly, you will also have to face conflicts between various forces, because the benefits of a lineage have fallen upon you, and your strength is insufficient, you might be coveted by others."

"Of course, if you don't return to the Wan Gu Sect, you can avoid these things, but you might also miss your immortal destiny and the opportunity to control a lineage."

He looked at her, his eyes gentle, and explained the matter thoroughly and unhurriedly, so that she could understand the consequences of her choices.

This kind of thing, fortune and misfortune are intertwined; he couldn't make the decision for her.

But no matter what decision she made, he would support her.

Feeling the warmth from her right hand, Yao Wu's uneasy heart found a little relief.

She pursed her lips, still looking confused, and said, "Husband, I don't know either."

"Mother."

Just then, a clear and cheerful voice came from outside the room.

It was a slender and graceful young girl, with a face like a flower and a figure like a willow, and the aura she exuded.

Fresh and refined, extraordinary.

With bright eyes and white teeth, she walked over with light steps, looking very lively. Her smiling eyes made her appear completely harmless.

Of course, the servants in the Zhou Residence knew that this young girl's temperament was not as simple as it seemed.

Just looking at the girl's appearance, she was quite beautiful, with willow-leaf eyebrows, fair skin, a light blue long dress swaying in the wind, and a hint of childishness in her eyes.

As the girl walked over, she also noticed Zhou Luo.

She stopped, put away her smile, and bowed respectfully, "Father."

The girl was none other than Zhou Luo and Yao Wu's daughter, Zhou Changqing's younger sister, Zhou Shi Xin.

So many years had passed, and she was now nearly sixteen years old, already a slender and graceful young woman.

Moreover, she had been by Zhou Luo's side all these years, and under his specialized guidance, she had already reached the Qi Refining Fifth Layer of cultivation.

Although she didn't have various Physiques or the aid of Innate Qi like her older brothers, because she had always stayed in the Core Area and enjoyed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, her progress was extremely fast.

Furthermore, this little girl also had talent in Gu technique, and was close to getting started.

"What do you need your mother for?" Zhou Luo withdrew his hand and asked sternly.

In their daily cultivation, he and Yao Wu played different roles, one strict and one gentle, which is why Zhou Shi Xin was so well-behaved in front of him.

Mainly, Zhou Luo had discovered that this little one, despite appearing obedient on the surface, was actually very mischievous, even more cunning than her own older brother, and quite troublesome.

Therefore, to properly discipline her, he had to establish the image of a strict father.

Otherwise, he feared this little girl would bring trouble to the Zhou Family in the future.

"Father, I just wanted to ask Mother some questions about Gu technique," Zhou Shi Xin raised her head, a serious expression on her fair, oval face.

"Xin'er, what do you want to ask?" Yao Wu said softly.

Her daughter's talent in Gu technique was indeed good. With each day of teaching, she grew to like this child more and more, and immensely hoped that she could surpass herself.

"Mother, there's a kind of Gu that I don't quite understand."

Zhou Shi Xin naturally moved closer to her and took out a Jade Slip, which was densely filled with her questions, as well as her understanding and doubts about them.

Zhou Luo watched the content on the Jade Slip from the side and couldn't help but marvel that she truly liked Gu technique.

She not only asked questions but also specifically annotated them, and derived numerous other questions.

Therefore, if you wanted to solve one of her questions, you had to solve the others as well.

It's just that this little girl liked to study poisonous Gu and enjoyed playing tricks on the servants in her daily life. If she really achieved something in the future, he truly worried that she would go down the wrong path.

Yao Wu looked at the content on the Jade Slip and also felt it was not simple, analyzing it carefully.

Zhou Shi Xin secretly looked at her Father, not daring to make a sound.

Because the question she was confused about this time was related to a type of poisonous Gu.

This Gu is an Entry-Level Gu. If it enters someone's body, it can temporarily control their body.

However, this control has many limitations and is mainly aimed at ordinary people and low-level Qi Training cultivators.

"Alright, Xin'er."

In less than a quarter of an hour, Yao Wu made annotations on the Jade Slip, telling her to go down and study it carefully first, and she would teach her later.

"Thank you, Mother," Zhou Shi Xin smiled sweetly and carefully retreated.

After she left, Zhou Luo shook his head and said, "Our daughter likes to mess with these crooked and evil Gu every day."

Yao Wu smiled faintly, "When I first came into contact with Gu, I wasn't as daring as her. But being bolder is also good; with interest, there's more motivation to Cultivate."

"She's probably close to getting started now."

As she said this, a look of pride appeared on Yao Wu's face.

As a Mother, she naturally hoped her children would achieve something.

Like Zhou Changqing, who now, relying on his talent, was living a comfortable life in the Immortal Sect, without needing her to worry.

So she poured all her thoughts into her daughter.

Zhou Luo nodded slightly, "Her talent is not low either. If she can receive good guidance, her future achievements will certainly be extraordinary."

These words made Yao Wu fall into deep thought.

She naturally understood this, and also clearly understood that if her daughter grew to her current Realm in the future and had no one to guide her, it would also be very troublesome.
