Su Yu's arrival caused a lot of discussion among the Zhou family monks at first, but not many people paid attention to it later.
The main reason was that Lin Wan'er's sudden joining had already helped with vaccinations, which made the ordinary Zhou family monks feel that this was not a particularly surprising thing.
Secondly, Su Yuzhen didn't go out much, so not many Zhou family monks could see her.
Not many monks from the Zhou family even knew that she lived in Zhou Chun's courtyard.
And those Zhou family monks who know this are very knowledgeable and will not talk too much.
On the contrary, Zhou Chun himself felt a little more uncomfortable in his life.
Whenever he returned to his courtyard to practice or rest, he could feel the real presence of Su Yu in the guest room, and sometimes he would bump into her in the courtyard.
Although Zhou Chun did not avoid it deliberately, he did not adapt so quickly.
There was actually not much real verbal communication between the two.
Time passed slowly, and two months passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Lin Wan'er, who was originally responsible for helping the Zhou family train domestic servants to die, suddenly came to find Zhou Chun with a happy face and said that she had contacted his adoptive mother Lin Hongyu.
After learning about this, Zhou Chun's face instantly showed a smile of joy.
He immediately took Lin Wan'er to see Zhou Mingde and gave Lin Hongyu's souvenir to Zhou Mingde for inspection.
Not long after this, Zhou Mingde explained a few words and left the Zhou family mountain gate alone.
I saw Zhou Mingde leaving the Zhou Family Mountain Gate, quietly hiding his cultivation and heading south. He walked for more than five hundred miles before stopping in the middle of a mountain.
Then he released his spiritual sense to detect, and soon discovered Lin Hongyu's existence.
"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Lin for recovering from his injuries and returning successfully."
In a valley, Zhou Mingde looked at the beautiful woman in red dress who had recovered completely in front of him, and sent his congratulations with a smile on his face.
Facing his congratulations, Lin Hongyu said calmly: "You are so polite, Fellow Taoist Zhou. I think you also know the purpose of inviting fellow Taoist here today."
"During the battle a few years ago, I am very grateful to you for the help you received from my fellow Taoist disciples and the Zhou family. I promised you that the rewards you would receive from your fellow disciples and the Zhou family are now here. I would also like to ask you fellow disciples to check them out."
As he spoke, he took off a storage bag from his waist and threw it towards Zhou Mingde.
After clinker Zhou Mingde took the storage bag, he was not in a hurry to check the contents inside.
Instead, he looked at her with a stern face and asked: "Today, the Hualong Sect is no longer a friend to Daoist Lin. I wonder where Daoist Lin is going to settle down next?"
"Oh, why does Fellow Daoist Zhou ask this?"
Lin Hongyu's eyes flashed, as if she had thought of something.
Seeing this, Zhou Mingde also said slowly: "Don't tell lies in front of a real person. Fellow Daoist Lin should understand Zhou's meaning in his heart. If Fellow Daoist Lin has intentions in his heart, Zhou will definitely do his best to facilitate this matter!"
Hearing his words, Lin Hongyu couldn't help but fell silent.
I saw her eyes twitching slightly, her gaze slightly wandering, and she didn't know where she was thinking.
After a long time passed like this, he looked at Zhou Mingde calmly and said, "So what if it was intentional? If I remember correctly, fellow Daoist Zhou was also strongly opposed to this matter at the beginning!"
When Zhou Mingde heard this, he replied sternly without feeling any embarrassment: "It was then, and now it is now."
"Back then, Fellow Taoist Lin was the protector of Hualong Sect. If our Zhou family dared to marry fellow Taoist Lin, our family would be destroyed in an instant."
"Now that the Hualong Sect can only retreat to the main altar to survive, and Fellow Daoist Lin has escaped from the cage and is free, naturally my Zhou family no longer has to worry so much."
"Furthermore, Dao Yi has now successfully opened up the Purple Mansion, and is accompanied by a green dragon spiritual pet. In terms of cultivation strength, he is even more compatible with fellow Daoist Lin."
Although Lin Hongyu had known what he meant for a long time, she still felt a little turbulent after hearing him say it in person.
After walking around in a small area for a while with a very uneasy mood, she looked at Zhou Mingde with a tense expression and said, "I'm afraid that Fellow Daoist Zhou can't make the decision in this matter. That guy has a heart of stone. He just built his foundation and cultivated his skills."
If you dare to be so heartless, I'm afraid you will look down upon me, a remnant of the Dragon Transformation Sect, even more!"
At the end of the sentence, a hint of self-deprecation appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Zhou Mingde quickly waved his hand and said: "Fellow Taoist Lin has misunderstood Dao Yi. Dao Yi was so unfeeling towards fellow Taoist in the first place. Part of it was out of shame and anger. He was very concerned about the fact that he was secretly plotted by fellow Taoist.
I feel ashamed and angry, and then resent my fellow Taoist."
"Secondly, after all, Dao Yi was the head of the Zhou family at that time, and the responsibilities on his shoulders made him dare not get involved with you, Daoyou Lin, in order to avoid harming the family."
"The third thing is that Dao Yi's cultivation at that time was much lower than that of you, fellow Taoist Lin, and he has always had a strong personality. How could he possibly accept becoming a Taoist partner with you, fellow Taoist?"
At this point, he changed the topic again and continued: "But it's different now. Now that Dao Yi has successfully opened up the Zi Mansion, you, fellow Daoist Lin, have also severed ties with the Hualong Sect, and the two of you have become Taoist partners.
The most important obstacle no longer exists.”
"Besides, as the old saying goes, a couple's kindness lasts a hundred days. After all, you and Dao Yi, Brother Dao Lin, have truly experienced dual cultivation. He will definitely not have no interest in you at all, Brother Dao Lin, but he never dared to show it before.
Just come out."
"As long as you, Fellow Daoist Lin, are willing to join the Zhou family and help the Zhou family, and with Zhou's continuous matchmaking, you will be able to slowly eliminate Dao Yi's inner conflict and make him finally agree to become a Taoist partner with you, Fellow Daoist Lin!"
Zhou Mingde's words were full of confidence and well-founded, and he was obviously well prepared.
After hearing what he said, Lin Hongyu couldn't help but fell into deep thought again.
Needless to say, she was still a little moved by what Zhou Mingde said.
This is not because she loves Zhou Daoyi so much in her heart and wants to become a Taoist couple with Zhou Daoyi.
The main reason is that she also knows in her heart that if she wants to go further in the future, she must find a force to join her. It is impossible to become a casual cultivator or to re-establish a force by herself.
Since we have to find a force to join us, the Zhou family is undoubtedly a good choice.
If she joins the Zhou family and becomes a Taoist companion with Zhou Daoyi, she will be considered a true member of the Zhou family, which is something that other forces can hardly give her.
And the most critical point is that the two Zifu period monks of the Zhou family are still in the initial stage of Zifu, and they are still far away from condensing the golden elixir. They will not compete with her for relevant resources in this regard.
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Hongyu nodded gently to Zhou Mingde and said, "If fellow Taoist Zhou can really convince him to agree to become a Taoist companion with me, then there will naturally be no problem for me to join the Zhou family."
"What Fellow Daoist Lin means is..."
Zhou Mingde looked at Lin Hongyu with a surprised expression, as if he heard something.
"Yes, I will not go back to the Zhou family with you, Fellow Daoist Zhou. After you really convince Daoyou Zhou to agree, let him come and take me back to the Zhou family in person!"
Lin Hongyu nodded slightly and expressed her plan.
After hearing what she said, Zhou Mingde's joy instantly dissipated for the most part.
Even though Zhou Mingde talks nice, he looks confident.
In fact, he was not even 30% sure about convincing Zhou Daoyi.
According to his plan, he first deceived Lin Hongyu into going to Zhou's house to create an established fact first.
That way, for the sake of the overall situation, Zhou Daoyi would at least not clamor to drive Lin Hongyu away.
Later, when Zhou Daoyi gradually gets used to Lin Hongyu's existence, it won't be too late for him to bring the two of them together to become Taoist couples.
But Lin Hongyu is obviously a person who doesn't care about rabbits but doesn't care about them at all. She doesn't care about what he says, only what he does.
It can only be said that those who can cultivate to their level are not fools.
No one will be fooled into selling themselves out easily just because of the other person’s words!
Although he was very disappointed in his heart, Zhou Mingde did not show it too obviously. He just sighed lightly with a hint of regret: "Well, since Fellow Daoist Lin cares about this so much, then Zhou has nothing to say.
I wonder where Fellow Taoist Lin will stay next? How should Zhou contact Fellow Daoist Lin?"
Lin Hongyu heard this and immediately replied: "I will probably go to Chengguo to settle down next. If Zhou Daoyou wants to contact me, he can send someone to Bailingfang City in Nanlingzhou of Chengguo to find a family named Qian.
The owner of the weapon refining shop in Renfang has some friendship with me and knows how to contact me."
After saying that, he left directly.
Zhou Mingde could only watch her leave, but couldn't say anything to persuade her to stay.
"Hey! As expected, none of these juniors can make people worry-free!"
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Zhou Mingde lowered his head and looked at the storage bag in his hand, finally having time to check the contents inside.
There are not many things in the storage bag, at least not as much as Zhou Mingde imagined.
However, the several important treasures that Lin Hongyu promised at the beginning are all inside.
These include a spiritual object to assist in opening up the Zi Mansion, two foundation-building pills, twelve monster eggs, and eight dragon-blood spiritual objects.
Needless to say the uses of the first two items. Although the number of twelve monster eggs is not large, they are all excellent dragon-born monsters.
And among the eight dragon-blood spiritual items, none of them are worth less than the four-hundred-year-old dragon-blood ginseng that Zhou Chun once gave to the Silver Lightning Python in vain.
Therefore, after checking all the treasures in the storage bag, Zhou Mingde smiled again on his face.
Satisfied, he transferred all the treasures in the storage bag to his regular storage bag, and then returned directly to the Zhou Family Mountain Gate to share the harvest with Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun.
"As originally agreed, this [Ghost Faced Soul Mushroom] belongs to Daoquan for use."
"As for these two foundation-building pills, it's up to you, Zhengchun, to arrange them."
"Let the elders and tribesmen decide whether to redeem these twelve monster eggs according to the situation. If no one redeems them, they will be hatched and put into the animal garden."
"As for these eight dragon-blooded spiritual objects, let me keep them for now and deal with them later depending on the situation."
In the cave, Zhou Mingde took out the various treasures he got from Lin Hongyu and gave them to Zhou Daoyi. After Zhou Chun and Zhou Chun looked at them, they talked about his arrangements for these things.
In fact, several people had already roughly figured out the arrangement of these things, and at this time Zhou Mingde was just going through the motions.
However, after Zhou Mingde finished speaking, Zhou Chun said: "Junior suggests not to take out these two Foundation Establishment Pills in a hurry, otherwise the successive occurrences of Foundation Establishment Pills in my Zhou family will inevitably arouse suspicion, and will also
It gives the tribesmen the illusion that it is too easy.”
"Well, Zhengchun, your worries are not unreasonable, so it's up to you to take care of it."
Zhou Mingde pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement with Zhou Chun's suggestion.
Then he said to Zhou Chun: "Calculate the time, the various elixirs and magic weapons promised by the three sects should have been almost refined. Zhengchun, you might as well go talk to Miss Yuzhen about this and see.
Can I get some inside information in advance?”
"If there is really help to open up the Zi Mansion and release the spiritual objects, our Zhou family must strive to get one!"
At the beginning, Zhou Daoyi used two spiritual objects to assist in opening up the Zifu before he successfully broke through to the Zifu stage.
Zhou Mingde obviously wanted to give Zhou Daoquan the same treatment, which could be regarded as compensation for taking away Zhou Daoquan's opportunity.
Zhou Chun naturally had to be concerned about this matter.
He immediately responded: "Yes, this junior will find an opportunity to talk to Miss Su."
After that, he took the Foundation Establishment Pill and the monster egg and left the cave first.
After Zhou Chun left, Zhou Mingde looked at Zhou Daoyi who had been silent next to him. After thinking about it, he still mentioned Lin Hongyu's matter.
"I have talked with fellow Taoist Lin. She still has some feelings for you, Dao Yi. As long as you, Dao Yi, are willing to become a Taoist couple with her, she is willing to join the Zhou family and serve the Zhou family for the rest of her life!"
Without any mincing words, Zhou Mingde directly talked about the outcome of the matter.
He knew that it was impossible for him to fool Zhou Daoyi, and he didn't want to.
After listening to his words, Zhou Daoyi responded with a calm face: "I'm sorry, it's hard for me to do this, and I don't think that her joining the Zhou family will be a good thing for the Zhou family. Who knows if she won't do it in the future?"
Will he be the second Yu Jinghua?"
"That's different. After she joins my Zhou family, even if she succeeds in forming the pill, she won't be able to take charge of my Zhou family like Yu Jinghua. No one will listen to her, and her past background is her biggest weakness!"
Zhou Mingde shook his head slightly and expressed his opinion on Zhou Daoyi's concerns.
"Then it's impossible for this junior to become a Taoist couple with her!"
As Zhou Daoyi said this, he bowed his hand to Zhou Mingde and left directly.
Seeing this, Zhou Mingde could only smile bitterly.
He knew it would be like this.
Zhou Daoyi once rejected Lin Hongyu many times, but now it is not that easy for him to invite Lin Hongyu back to the Zhou family to become a Taoist companion with him.
But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, Zhou Mingde will still work hard to do this.
On the other hand, after Zhou Chun left Zhou Mingde's cave with his things, he quickly called all the foundation-building monks in the family to the Zhongping Hall.
"Recently, the family has received a batch of monster eggs of good quality. Elders, take a look to see if any of them catch your eye. If necessary, you can choose one first and bring it to be hatched and cultivated."
