153: Grief and indignation

On Feiyue Peak Summit, Zhou Liyue and the others watched with great interest.

Even Zhou Licheng and his wife were no exception; although they were Zhou Leren's parents, their interest in such matters might have been even greater than Zhou Liyue's and Xia Chuxue's.

Looking at Zhou Leren's appearance at this moment, the two of them recalled their first meeting.

Many memories flashed through their minds. The two exchanged glances, their hearts connected, naturally understanding each other's thoughts. The hidden affection between them made Xia Chuxue, who was nearby, feel a bit downcast.

Seeing this, Zhou Liyue knew she was thinking of the deceased Zhou Lihai, so she quickly teased Xia Chuxue a few times. As expected, Xia Chuxue glared at Zhou Liyue a few times, and the sadness in her heart was dispelled by Zhou Liyue.

In the air, after Zhou Leren regained his composure, he adjusted slightly, then once again controlled his sword light and flew towards Qingyuan Town... Outside Jade Moon Peak.

A sword light stopped, revealing the figures of Zhou Leren and Jing Ya.

Jing Ya had already let go of Zhou Leren's clothes before entering Qingyuan Town.

At this moment, she was holding the hem of her plain skirt, constantly twisting it, her mind restless.

Zhou Leren waved his hand, putting the luan fa sword into his Storage Pouch.

With the pull of his magic power, he brought Jing Ya and flew into Jade Moon Peak.

"Come to the peak summit."

As soon as he entered the Formation, Mo Xuan's voice echoed in Zhou Leren's mind. At this moment, the precious bead within his body quietly floated out and disappeared from Zhou Leren's sight.

Hearing this, Zhou Leren's expression shifted. He had just been hesitating whether to see his parents first or the Old Ancestor first.

But since it was the Old Ancestor who spoke, there was no need to choose.

Zhou Leren said something to Jing Ya behind him, preparing to head towards the peak summit.

Huan Bi flew out from the Spirit Beast bracelet, nodded to Zhou Leren and Jing Ya, and no longer continued to rest in the Spirit Beast bracelet.

The two people and one snake arrived at Feiyue Peak Summit.

Zhou Leren was filled with doubt. Why were all his elders, except for Fifth Aunt, here?

Although he had questions, he still respectfully bowed to the people on the peak summit.

"Old Ancestor, Father, Mother, Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt."

Mo Xuan and the others smiled and nodded, signaling him not to be so formal.

After arriving at the peak summit, Huan Bi scurried from Zhou Leren's side to not far from Mo Xuan. After greeting Zhou Licheng and the others, she quietly coiled up nearby.

Mo Xuan glanced at her, nodded, and didn't bother with her.

"You must be Le Ren's Senior Sister, right?"

"Le Ren often talks about you at home."

Zhou Liyue stood up and came to Jing Ya's side, speaking softly to Jing Ya, who was also bowing but seemed a bit at a loss.

"Greetings, greetings Third Aunt."

Jing Ya's face flushed slightly. She looked at Zhou Liyue in front of her, hesitated for a moment, but still softly called out the title as Zhou Leren did.

"No need to be so reserved. Come, from now on, treat this place as your own home, just relax."

Zhou Liyue pulled Jing Ya towards the Zhou Family members who were seated in a circle.

Listening to their conversation, Zhou Leren felt a slight relief. Fortunately, Third Aunt took over; otherwise, he really wouldn't have known how to introduce her.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Zhou Leren seemed to think of something.

"How does Third Aunt know this is my Senior Sister?"

"I don't think I've ever mentioned it at home."

Zhou Leren pondered. After all, the incident of him being forced to wear women's clothes in the Crescent Moon Sect was too dark, so he had never really talked about things in the Crescent Moon Sect.

"Then, besides me, only the Old Ancestor knows, but the Old Ancestor definitely wouldn't be so bored as to talk about these things..."

"Unless Third Aunt has seen Senior Sister..."

"Seen..."

"The Old Ancestor's precious bead!"

Zhou Leren grasped the core of the matter.

Connecting this to the meaningful smiles of his parents and the others just now, Zhou Leren's expression froze.

He looked up at Mo Xuan, his eyes filled with an uncomfortable light.

Mo Xuan was perfectly serious, continuing to sip the Spirit Wine in front of him, ignoring Zhou Leren's gaze.

Seeing Mo Xuan's demeanor, Zhou Leren immediately knew where the problem lay.

"Something fell on the road. I'm going to take a trip. You don't need to mind me."

Zhou Leren's face was burning. He couldn't stay here!

He casually said something to Mo Xuan and the laughing group, and without waiting for their reply, he fled the place like a gust of wind.

"Pfft~"

Seeing Zhou Leren's embarrassed escape, Zhou Liyue chuckled.

From childhood to adulthood, it seemed only Uncle Xuan could handle this boy.

Jing Ya looked bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

"Hahahaha..."

On the peak summit, laughter echoed far and wide.

This laughter sounded extremely harsh in Zhou Leren's ears.

The embarrassingly fleeing Zhou Leren stumbled, almost falling from the sky.

The indignation in his heart was beyond words.

"Old Ancestor, I hate you!"

Zhou Leren roared to the heavens in his heart.

Afterward, the magic power in his body circulated rapidly, and his speed increased by several points.

Several hours later.

Zhou Leren still returned.

After all, he had brought Jing Ya back. His previous departure, leaving Jing Ya alone here, was already very impolite.

Zhou Leren's face was calm.

He had come to terms with it. Since things had come to this, and he couldn't resist, he might as well just give up.

Anyway, they were all close elders of his own family, no harm done!

Zhou Liyue and the others no longer teased him, only talked with Jing Ya.

Zhou Leren came to Mo Xuan's side and stared at him resentfully.

Mo Xuan secretly chuckled, and magic power surged out, pushing Zhou Leren's head to the side... Jing Ya temporarily stayed at the Zhou Family.

Because Jing Ya was at home, Zhou Leren no longer went to Tianshui City.

Instead, he took on the responsibility of the Zhou Family's Dao Protection Hall Master.

As for the Legacy Cultivation Technique obtained from the four sects of Qianmo Valley, Zhou Leren placed it in the Zhou Family Cultivation Manual Tower. The resources obtained from annihilating the Jinyuan Sect were handed over to his father, Zhou Licheng.

After counting, Zhou Licheng distributed various resources to the different halls within the family, serving as the Zhou Family's foundation.

As for the three third-tier magic treasures, no one in the Zhou Family could use them for the time being. Zhou Leren specifically built a treasure platform, had Zhou Liyue set up a Spirit Gathering Formation, and arranged various Spirit Stones and other spiritual items around the treasure platform to nurture these three third-tier magic treasures.

Zhou Leren had already been studying these four Legacies for a long time.

He always felt that although there were connections between them, these connections were not close enough, and it seemed like something was missing.

This deficiency was not just because these four Cultivation Techniques were incomplete.

Zhou Liyue and the others also knew that there should be secrets hidden in the several Cultivation Techniques brought back this time.

They each studied them for a long time, combining them with the records of True Man Jin Feng, but their gains were not significant.

They could only wait for the future to slowly uncover the hidden secrets within them.

But even just these four Cultivation Techniques themselves were already a considerable gain for the Zhou Family.

After all, they were all third-rank Legacies, even if incomplete.

For the Zhou Family, they were only second to the complete Puhua Yuanlun Scripture.

This greatly enriched the Zhou Family's foundation.

Time flowed on.

The Zhou Family developed steadily.

With the resources from the Jinyuan Sect, the treatment of the Zhou Family's disciples improved even further. Throughout Qingzhou, they could probably already rival the three Nascent Soul (Yuan Ying) forces/power level.

After all, the Zhou Family currently had a small number of people, but their resources were abundant enough.
