The inside story

The flying boat of the Demon Suppression Hall also began to head towards Beimang Mountain.

After the flying boat left the Huan Ling Sect, the Vice Hall Master was truly as obedient as a grandson in front of Zhou Ziming.

At this moment, Zhou Ziming was drinking tea inside the cabin, listening as the Vice Hall Master recounted what Gu Yiyun had done to him.

Zhou Ziming was quite familiar with Gu Yiyun.

No, it should be said that the useless Original Owner was familiar with her.

In any case, the Original Owner did not know how he had offended Gu Yiyun.

That Gu Yiyun targeted him every day, frequently using words like "scumbag" and "disgusting."

Regarding this, Zhou Ziming actually found it interesting.

Because, combining the Original Owner's memories with the events of these past few days.

Zhou Ziming had some guesses.

"If I am the Child of Destiny, then Gu Yiyun is very likely one of my harem members. However, looking at Gu Yiyun's abnormal behavior, as well as the fact that the Original Owner's Opportunity was stripped away, it means there is someone behind the scenes who is a Destiny Villain, and it looks like they have undergone Rebirth as well."

"If that is the case, it makes sense. However, the only thing unclear now is whether this is a plot where inner thoughts are leaked, or if there is some sort of Destiny Villain System!"

Having finished these thoughts, Zhou Ziming couldn't help but find it funny.

Because back on Earth, he used to read novels, and reading those plots where a Destiny Villain plunders a brain-dead protagonist was quite satisfying.

Now, it's great; he has become the one being suppressed and having his Luck plundered.

However, Zhou Ziming did not really care.

Zhou Ziming felt that he was now a proper Daoist Disciple, a Personal Disciple of the Primordial Heavenly Venerate.

The Daoist path emphasizes a clear Dao Heart.

In all matters, follow one's own heart; as for other things, whatever.

However...

Zhou Ziming looked at the Vice Hall Master.

"Gu Yiyun must have given you quite a few benefits, and even asked you to take good care of me during this journey, right!"

The Vice Hall Master quickly laughed, "Master Zhou is truly as prescient as a god!"

But afterwards, the Vice Hall Master still voiced his inner doubts.

"But I don't quite understand. Although I am the Vice Hall Master of the Demon Suppression Hall, in reality, no matter how well I do, I cannot catch Gu Yiyun's Dharma Eye. Why would she want to win me over?"

Zhou Ziming's answer was very simple.

"It's very simple. You are a tool. As long as I am in the Demon Suppression Hall, you can continuously suppress me, and as long as you suppress me, some people will benefit!"

Thinking this, Zhou Ziming suddenly wondered if the person behind the scenes was truly a Destiny Villain System? Or perhaps some method to seize Luck?

The Vice Hall Master was also a smart one.

He quickly thought of the inside story.

"Master Zhou, you mean that if the person behind the scenes targets you personally, they might suffer a backlash, so they came up with the idea of letting me target you. In that case, even if a backlash occurs, it will be me who suffers it!"

Zhou Ziming couldn't help but glance at the Vice Hall Master.

"Hmm, your intelligence is a bit beyond my expectations!"

The Vice Hall Master: "..."

"Well, anyone who can gain a foothold in the cultivation world is an old fox. You are treating me a bit too much like I'm not a person!"

Zhou Ziming scratched his head at this.

This isn't right.

The novels I read before weren't written like this.

As a tool, shouldn't you be obediently falling into the trap? And then be discarded after being used?

And the Vice Hall Master also suddenly realized at this moment.

"Damn it, it really is easy to suffer a backlash. If I hadn't surrendered early back then, this Zhou Ziming would have probably killed me first thing after leaving the Sect!"

And the Vice Hall Master thought of one more thing at this moment.

"Master Zhou, the matter of going to Beimang Mountain this time was also specifically requested by the Hall Master for me to bring you along. Could it be that this matter is also related to the Hall Master?"

Zhou Ziming recalled.

The Demon Suppression Hall Master, Leng Wushuang.

She was also quite the beauty.

According to the protagonist's law, this should also be a harem member.

But because of the influence of the person behind the scenes, this person was also at odds with him.

Zhou Ziming chuckled.

"Yes!"

For a moment, the Vice Hall Master only felt malice everywhere.

He even had the feeling that the whole world was targeting Zhou Ziming.

But why?

Just at this moment, the Vice Hall Master's sound transmission talisman vibrated.

The Vice Hall Master looked at Zhou Ziming.

Zhou Ziming nodded.

The Vice Hall Master directly activated the sound transmission talisman.

"When you arrive in Tianyin City, go to the Xiuchun Workshop; I have matters to entrust to you!"

This was the Hall Master's voice.

The Vice Hall Master looked at Zhou Ziming again.

Zhou Ziming said directly, "Everything as usual, but write a report when you return!"

The Vice Hall Master scratched his head, "The specific conversation content and details?"

Zhou Ziming nodded.

The Vice Hall Master smiled.

It was a novel way of putting it.

...

...

After arriving in Tianyin City, Zhou Ziming went straight to the Brothel.

Regarding this, the Vice Hall Master could only say that Master Zhou was a man of true character.

However, the Vice Hall Master also hurriedly headed to the Xiuchun Workshop.

After twists and turns along the way, the Vice Hall Master was led to the backyard by someone.

Just after entering the backyard, the Vice Hall Master saw the Hall Master wearing a black robe.

"Greetings, Hall Master!"

The Vice Hall Master hurriedly saluted.

Leng Wushuang also glanced slightly to the side at this moment.

"You have already reached the eighth level, and your cultivation is also just a step away from the Profound Realm!"

The Vice Hall Master quickly said, "This is all thanks to the Sect's cultivation!"

Leng Wushuang snorted coldly.

"The Sect's cultivation? I'm afraid it's Gu Yiyun's cultivation!"

The Vice Hall Master was filled with fear and trepidation.

"Subordinate, I did indeed receive some benefits from Peak Master Gu!"

Leng Wushuang waved her hand.

"I cannot be bothered to care about these things. If she gives you things, it is because she needs you to handle matters, and this is what you deserve."

"However, I have come this time to ask about some matters."

After hesitating for a long time, Leng Wushuang finally asked.

"You have had more contact with that Disciple named Zhou Ziming. You tell me, what kind of person is this Zhou Ziming exactly?"

The Vice Hall Master felt very uncomfortable.

How do I answer this?

That is my Master Zhou now.

However, the Vice Hall Master still spoke objectively.

"He does not like to cause trouble, but he is also not afraid of trouble, and he is very low-key in his conduct!"

Leng Wushuang frowned.

"Does he have no conflicts with other Disciples?"

The Vice Hall Master was even more embarrassed.

Conflicts?

Within the Huan Ling Sect, Zhou Ziming could still be considered restrained.

But after leaving the Huan Ling Sect, some Disciples mocked Zhou Ziming, and were slapped sixty times by Zhou Ziming while he grabbed them by the collar.

They were slapped until they were half-dead, and thrown aside like dead dogs.

Those Disciples were unconvinced and found people to deal with Zhou Ziming.

Zhou Ziming killed everyone who came directly, and then threw them into the deep mountains to feed the wild beasts.

After all, those people came with murderous intent, and Zhou Ziming did not reason with them.

Afterwards, Zhou Ziming said it plainly.

"We are fellow Disciples, yet we don't know each other. I thought we could get to know each other through this matter. Rest assured, as long as you let me have an easy time, we will all be fine. If you don't want me to have an easy time, then no one will have an easy time!"

Although he, the Vice Hall Master, did not express his stance, the other Disciples had seen the situation clearly.

In the end, this part of the journey became very peaceful because of Zhou Ziming.

Thinking of this, the Vice Hall Master could only say, "There are no conflicts. Why would the Hall Master ask such a thing?"
