Seemingly worried that Zhou Zhenkang didn't believe it, he added:
"The two of them struggled with me at the city gate for a long time that day, but Master Mo Qi didn't show up. Instead, he came after they left... If they really knew each other, how could Master Mo Qi be like this given his temperament?"
Zhou Zhenkang was thoughtful.
"Too."
Lord Mo Qi is the emperor's confidant general, and his status is extremely noble. If Ye Xiyue and Pei Qingyu really have anything to do with him, he will definitely come forward for them as soon as possible.
"And - if they really have this backing, why have they never mentioned it?" Zhou Zhenchuan sneered coldly.
Zhou Zhenkang nodded.
"That's good."
He was a little worried before, but now it seems that he is simply overthinking.
but--
"You are also at fault in this matter. If you hadn't been too arrogant, how could Master Mo Qi have taken advantage of you?" Zhou Zhenkang frowned slightly, "My family finally sent you to the city guard army, but you are good at not knowing how to restrain yourself.
It’s become like this now!”
Zhou Zhenchuan shrank his neck guiltily and whispered: "Brother, I, I didn't mean that..."
Zhou Zhenkang shook his head.
His younger brother is really spoiled and needs a good beating.
Thinking of this, he patted Zhou Zhenchuan on the shoulder and whispered:
"...This hunting competition is an opportunity. If you perform well, grandpa can also ask for a favor for you and let you return to the city guard army——"
"What?!"
When Zhou Zhenchuan heard this, he immediately frowned,
"How can I go back?"
He was kicked out by Master Mo Qi in public, how could he have the dignity to go back?
"I'm not going!"
he said.
However, the eldest brother who always dotes on him is determined this time:
"You don't have the right to say anything about this. Do you know how many people want to go in but they can't! You must not miss this opportunity, so in this hunting competition, you must come up with a satisfactory answer!"
Zhou Zhenchuan wanted to say something more, but when he met his elder brother's stern eyes, he swallowed the words in his throat unconsciously.
"……knew!"
In his current situation, it is actually very embarrassing whether he can return to the city guard army or not, but he cannot violate his family's wishes and can only obey them.
This made him irritated. He couldn't help but look back and said coldly:
"It's okay for me to do this, but this debt must be recovered from Pei Qingyu and Ye Xiyue!"
If it weren't for the two of them, would he have fallen into the ridiculous situation where he is now being laughed at?
Zhou Zhenkang's expression brightened slightly:
"It's natural."
Zhou Zhenchuan was humiliated, which hurt the Zhou family's face.
"Let's wait and see what happens. If they can hold on, it will be a good thing."
A sneer appeared on Zhou Zhenkang's lips.
They have plenty of time and opportunity to take care of those people.
…
Walking in the front were the Cheng family and the Xu family.
Each of them has two strong men from the Ling Sect, and their overall strength is considered to be the strongest, so it is naturally much smoother than other aristocratic families.
They also noticed something unusual about Ye Xiyue behind them.
"It seems that the Pei family really invited a capable foreign aid this time."
A young man wearing a bright blue brocade robe smiled and said,
"Let me just say, if Ye Xiyue has no ability, how can he replace Pei Ziyan? At such an age, it is really not easy to become the alchemist dedicated to the Pei family."
His words were less of a compliment and more of a tease.
As he said that, he turned his eyes slightly and looked at the girl beside him, with a bit of flattery.
"When it comes to alchemists, who can compare with Su Su?"
