736: Unpleasant memories

"Have you gone to pay respects to the Old Ancestor?"

At this moment, Zhou Leren, whose figure was still young and handsome, asked.

"That you could break through so quickly caused the Old Ancestor to worry for too long."

"Of course."

"The Old Ancestor's Divine Ability is vast; he knew I was going to break through even earlier than I did."

Zhou Xiutong nodded.

She then surveyed the few people, and after seeing that their cultivation levels were all steadily increasing, she felt relieved.

She had received special tutoring from the Old Ancestor.

Now that she had broken through and exited seclusion, she naturally wanted to emulate the Old Ancestor and provide special tutoring to the younger generation of the Clan.

She had already decided that for the next period, she would lecture on the Dao in the martial arts arena.

On the peak, a gentle breeze blew.

Adding a touch of charm to this peaceful atmosphere... Three and a half months later.

Gui Zhou Island, in the martial arts arena.

At this time, a Cultivator dressed in a scarlet robe quietly arrived on the high platform.

He came behind the purple-clad woman who was sitting upright.

"Grand-Aunt, Big Brother requests your presence at the Zhou Family Main Hall."

Zhou Dingze transmitted his voice.

"Alright."

Zhou Xiutong's heart stirred slightly, and she replied.

Zhou Dingze understood and did not linger on the high platform.

He leaned down and came to the foot of the high platform.

Below the stage, the Zhou Family Cultivators, both those with the family surname and those without, listened enraptured, their internal magical power continuously and involuntarily circulating.

For a moment, no one noticed Zhou Dingze's arrival.

"Let's go."

Zhou Dingze was just about to wait for a moment when he heard a familiar voice sound in his ear. Turning to look, he saw that on the high platform, there was still a purple figure lecturing.

However, beside him, there was another purple-clad figure.

"primordial spirit clone."

Zhou Dingyang withdrew his gaze from the purple-clad figure on the high platform, his heart stirring slightly.

This was naturally not something he had seen through himself.

It was simply that as a Zhou Family Cultivator, his knowledge was naturally extraordinary.

The two figures quietly left the martial arts peak, transforming into streaks of light, one after another, heading towards the location of the Zhou Family Main Hall.

"I heard that you're quite close with the Pavilion Master of Water Moon Pavilion."

In the air, a voice suddenly entered Zhou Dingze's mind from in front of him.

Zhou Dingze's expression stiffened.

"Hehe... this... Grand-Aunt knows about this too?"

Zhou Dingze subconsciously touched his head.

Why does it feel like I've been caught... Zhou Dingze muttered in his heart.

"I just heard about it."

Not far in front, Zhou Xiutong casually nodded.

"Was it... Big Brother who told you?"

Zhou Dingze's mind raced, and almost instantly, he had already guessed the culprit.

Currently, among the Zhou Family, those of a lower generation than him would naturally not speak carelessly, and those of a higher generation would even less likely meddle in his affairs.

After thinking it over, the only person who could report to Grand-Aunt was one person.

A smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of Zhou Xiutong's mouth, but it was quickly wiped away.

"Cough~"

"No, I just happened to hear about it."

She couldn't betray Dingyang.

"Yes, Tingxue is a very good woman."

"I have already decided that I will go to Water Moon Pavilion to propose marriage soon."

Zhou Dingze paused, then nodded frankly.

He had never intended to hide anything.

"How did you and that Pavilion Master... um... meet?"

Hearing Zhou Dingze's affirmative answer.

Zhou Xiutong's speed suddenly decreased.

After Zhou Dingze caught up, a pair of purple eyes looked at Zhou Dingze with great interest.

"This..."

"Grand-Aunt, you're still young... no... this matter is a long story..."

Zhou Dingze felt a chill down his spine under Zhou Xiutong's gaze.

He hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke.

At that time, he went to Water Moon Pavilion to attend a ceremony.

It just so happened that Tingxue became the Pavilion Master of Water Moon Pavilion.

But at that time, he had no other thoughts.

Afterward, in order to make Hei Yao (Black Demon) Great Elder reveal some treasures hidden in his memories.

He began to collect some not-so-precious but interesting items.

These things might not be of high value, but sometimes they weren't that easy to find either.

Not long after, he discovered a shop where people often consigned and sold these strange items from the folk or other regions.

He then became a regular customer of that shop.

Over time.

This small shop frequently sold these items, which naturally attracted his attention.

Under his questioning.

He then, after that ceremony, met the new Pavilion Master of Water Moon Pavilion once again.

By then, she was already well-known.

It was after this.

Their relationship slowly began to draw closer.

"To have someone put so much thought into you is also an extremely rare thing."

"Perhaps even harder than improving one's cultivation."

The hardest thing to exist in the world is true sincerity.

After Zhou Dingze finished speaking, a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes.

He had extensive experience, especially after becoming the Head of the Zhou Family's younger brother.

He had met countless people.

Whether their hearts were true, a Cultivator whose cultivation was much lower than his could naturally not hide it from him.

"It's quite circuitous."

Zhou Xiutong listened in a daze, subconsciously muttering a sentence.

However, another figure appeared in her mind.

But, these were all old stories.

Zhou Xiutong did not mention it further.

She just gently patted Zhou Dingze's shoulder.

"Hehe, when the time comes, Grand-Aunt, I will prepare a generous gift for you."

"Cough~ I won't be polite."

Zhou Dingze lightly coughed.

Although their speed had decreased, after the previous period, they had already arrived at Qingyang Peak.

Zhou Family Main Hall.

The two figures entered together.

"Grand-Aunt."

"Patriarch."

"This is..."

Zhou Xiutong's gaze passed over Zhou Dingyang, who had come to greet them, and fell upon another figure whose body was surrounded by an aura that inexplicably made her heart palpitate slightly.

"I am Wang Liwen of the Red Dust Immortal Palace. I have come by Senior Brother Zhou's order to specially deliver a congratulatory gift to Fairy Zixiao."

"I wish Fairy an endless immortal path and the eternal existence of the Great Dao."

Before Zhou Dingyang could introduce him.

That person quickly stepped forward and bowed to Zhou Xiutong.

At the same time, he took out a Storage Ring from his hand, which floated up and flew towards Zhou Xiutong.

"Second Grandfather."

Zhou Xiutong's heart stirred.

She quickly took the Storage Ring.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Wang."

Zhou Xiutong thanked him.

"Fairy Zixiao, you are too kind."

"Now that Senior Brother Zhou's entrustment has been completed, my cultivation is special, and it is not convenient for me to stay here for long, lest I bring disaster upon you all."

"Patriarch, Fairy, Elder, I bid you farewell."

Wang Liwen requested to leave.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, I will see you out."

Seeing that his intention to leave was firm, and considering him half an insider, Zhou Dingyang did not stand on ceremony and led him out of the hall.

With Zhou Dingyang seeing him off, Zhou Xiutong and Zhou Dingze remained inside the main hall.

"Hmm~ This is... Cloud Thunder Gold..."

Zhou Xiutong's Divine Sense probed into the Storage Ring in her hand, and a large piece of metal, flickering with faint lightning, suddenly appeared within her Divine Sense.

"With such a large piece of Cloud Thunder Gold, the power of my Purple Gold Twin Hammers might be able to go up another level."

Zhou Xiutong exclaimed in surprise.

Beside her, Zhou Dingze, who heard Zhou Xiutong muttering to herself, inexplicably twitched the corner of his eye.

Purple Gold Twin Hammers... "Hiss~"

"Unpleasant memories..."
