After leaving the Baomeng Pavilion Auction House, Shen Nian did not return to the medical clinic, but went to the Zhou Mansion.

No one stopped him, and he met Zhou Hai in the study.

"Xiao Shen, you...are you okay? It's really great!"

Seeing him, a flash of excitement flashed in Zhou Hai's eyes, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Nian didn't say anything and sat down on the chair.

Seeing this, Zhou Hai showed a wry smile on his face.

He sighed and asked bitterly: "Xiao Shen, do you still resent me in your heart?"

Hate?

Thinking silently.

To be fair, when he first learned the truth half a month ago, he did hate Zhou Hai.

Even now, I still can't feel relieved.

He hated that the other party allowed everything to happen even though he had a chance to prevent this disaster.

He hated him for taking advantage of him!

However, during the past half month, he also thought a lot during his retreat.

Rather than saying that he hates Zhou Hai, it is better to say that he hates himself.

Zhou Zhouhai did take advantage of him, but he also gave him the opportunity to choose. It was he who chose to raise the butcher's knife and lost his heart in the killing.

In the end, all ten thousand soldiers died in his hands.

After being silent for a long time, Shen Nian shook his head slightly and said, "I have thought about it, am I not wrong in this matter? It is just a way of self-exculpation to blame all the mistakes on you!"

"Xiao Shen, have you forgiven me?"

Zhou Hai's face showed a hint of joy.

"forgive?"

Shen Nian chuckled lightly and shook his head, "I just admitted my mistake and didn't say I would forgive someone who took advantage of me."

Zhou Hai's expression changed a bit.

Shen Nian seemed not to notice and continued: "I can tolerate all other things, except betrayal!"

Buzz——

Zhou Hai's body was shaken and his face turned a little pale.

Shen Nian looked at him and said expressionlessly: "This time, you are borrowing my hand to help you take charge of the Yangzhou War Zone again. What about next time? Do you want to use me to help you deal with the four royal families?"

He thought of something and shook his head slightly, "I forgot. After what happened this time, in the eyes of the four royal families, I have been labeled as yours. Sooner or later, they will find me. This should also be your purpose. One of them?"

Zhou Hai quickly shook his head and explained: "Xiao Shen, that's not the case. I admit that I did use you before, and I did want to use your power to deal with the four royal families, but we can guarantee that nothing will happen to you. "

Shen Nian chuckled, "Promise? What guarantee do you have?"

Zhou Zhouhai opened his mouth, but no words came out for a long time.

Shen Nian said coldly: "I am not afraid of becoming enemies of the four royal families, but as I said just now, what I hate most is betrayal! And your use, to me, is a kind of betrayal!"

After saying that, he ignored Zhou Hai's attempts to stay, got up and walked outside.

When he was about to step out of the study, he paused and said calmly: "If I really stand on the opposite side of the royal family in the future, that will be a private matter between me and them and has nothing to do with anyone else! "

Behind him, looking at the disappearing figure, Zhou Hai's face was filled with bitterness.

After a long time, a sigh echoed in the study.

…

After leaving the Zhou Mansion, Shen Nian felt very complicated.

He has a good sense of Zhou Hai, and he respects this old man who serves the country and the people from the bottom of his heart. Since he came to Yangzhou City, the latter has also provided him with a lot of help, just like a respected elder.

However, he also knew that after what happened this time, the relationship between the two could never go back to the past.

As he said, he cannot tolerate betrayal.

Zhou Hai's behavior has touched his bottom line.

In fact, if Zhou Hai had directly pointed it out from the beginning and asked him to help deal with the four royal families, he would not be so angry.

Unfortunately, he chose the wrong way.

Back at the hospital, Ye Qingqing stopped him and said that someone had sent him a lot of elixirs.

Shen Nian was stunned for a moment and returned to the room.

Sure enough, I saw a wooden box placed on the ground in the center of the bedroom, about the size of two suitcases.

Open the box, it's full of elixirs.

Shen Nian used his spiritual power to scan and found that there were a hundred plants in total, and they were all poisonous elixirs.

Regardless of his nature, he was a little shocked.

There is no doubt that these elixirs were sent by Baomeng Pavilion, but a hundred poisonous elixirs are indeed a big deal.

Immediately, he called Yusha and asked about the hundred elixirs.

On the phone, Yusha told him that these elixirs were sent from the headquarters, and a batch would be sent after a while.

Will another batch be sent?

Shen Nian's heart trembled.

He was already certain that the Baomeng Pavilion Auction House must have some means of cultivating elixirs, or had discovered a treasure land that could support the growth of elixirs.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Nian's eyes fell on the hundred elixirs in front of him again.

He could probably guess the purpose of Baomengge Auction House.

Sending the elixir is nothing more than a show of goodwill.

However, this hand is really quite courageous.

One hundred elixirs may not seem like much, but in today's era of spiritual energy depletion, it is definitely a "huge sum".

Of course, Shen Nian would not refuse.

The relationship between him and Baomeng Pavilion is nothing more than a mutually beneficial relationship.

These elixirs seemed to be of astonishing value, but was the elixir he helped Baomeng Pavilion refine with inferior results?

It is a perfect quality elixir, the only one of its kind in history.

Therefore, he can hold these elixirs with confidence and no burden in his heart.

Furthermore, being trapped in his mental state, he could not improve his martial arts level. He could only find ways to improve his physical strength.

These poisonous elixirs came at just the right time.

Before, when he was in the Zhou Mansion, he had said that this matter had exposed him to the royal family's view, and he was not just talking about it casually.

However, it is not certain whether those high-ranking "big men" will care about him as an "ant".

"Royal family..."

A cold light flashed in Shen Nian's eyes.

No matter whether the royal family will target him or not, one day in the future, he will target the royal family.

For no other reason than to help his father and give him a sigh of relief.

As for now...

His first priority is to improve his strength.

But he did not forget that all four royal families were suspected of having war gods in charge.

With his current strength, he has no chance of winning when facing a strong Martial God.

He did not rush to practice, but checked his body first.

In the battle outside the city, not long after he started killing, his consciousness fell into blur.

In that state, he lost all reason.

He didn't know what happened next. When he regained consciousness, there was no other person around who could stand except him.

He has never forgotten that feeling.

It was as if, in the second half of the journey, he lost control of his body and was controlled by others.

As soon as this idea emerged, he couldn't help but shudder and felt a chill running down his spine.

After a moment, Shen Nian's brows frowned deeply.

He checked several times but found nothing.

But just because it hasn’t been discovered doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
To be continued...
