Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 78 Important clues, locking the target

"To report to the clan leader, I have completed your instructions and conducted an open and secret visit to all the clan members on the list and made relevant records."

In the "Zhongping Hall", after Zhou Chun investigated the last few people on his list, he came here with all the investigation reports and reported to the clan leader Zhou Daoyi.

After listening to what he said, Zhou Daoyi immediately looked at him and asked, "Did you find anything? Is there anyone you suspect?"

"This junior is incompetent and doesn't feel there is anything wrong with any clan member's answer."

Zhou Chun lowered his head deeply and spoke his answer.

What he said was true and helpless.

Because the disappearance of Zhou Jiahui cannot be made public, he cannot use this as the reason for his investigation, so many things cannot be discussed freely.

Naturally, it is difficult to give him much reference based on the situation investigated in this way.

Under such circumstances, he naturally did not dare to easily identify any tribesman as a target of suspicion, lest it cause any misfortune.

"It seems that you still have a lot of worries in your heart."

Zhou Daoyi looked at Zhou Chun with slightly narrowed eyes and expressed his thoughts in one breath.

Then he nodded slightly and said, "That's right. It's your first time encountering this kind of thing, so it's normal for you to have concerns, but I can't blame you."

Zhou Chun didn't say anything, almost acquiescing to this.

So Zhou Daoyi quickly said: "Then please keep the records of the investigation. I will take the time to review them carefully."

After saying that, he looked at Zhou Chun with an encouraging look and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Not finding out anything might be a good thing. It might just mean that there are no traitors in the clan."

"Yes, this junior has remembered it."

Zhou Chun nodded respectfully and responded.

Seeing this, Zhou Daoyi waved his hand and said: "Then you go back and rest for a day or two. After that, I will arrange something for you to do."

"Yes, I will take my leave, junior."

Zhou Chun responded, then left the "Zhongping Hall" and left Pagoda Peak.

However, after returning to his residence, Zhou Chun did not rest. Instead, he lay on the bed, recalling over and over again the investigations and questions he had conducted on the tribesmen over the past few days.

In his heart, he still really wanted to find out the truth.

Not only to avenge Nineteenth Aunt Zhou Jiahui, but also to keep the secret of "Touch of Despair".

Although it seems that at present, he will have no chance to return to Fangshi in a short time.

But the now popular poison "Touch of Despair" is undoubtedly one of his "political achievements."

If Lingshouzhai can rely on this poison, it will have stabilized its market position and its performance will soar.

Then Zhou Chun, the person who single-handedly promoted this matter, will definitely be favored and valued by the Zhou family monks and Zhou family senior officials who will benefit from this.

So Zhou Chun is definitely the one who least wants "Touch of Despair" to be copied.

But the truth is not so easy to find.

Zhou Chun lay in bed and thought for a long time, his head was a little dizzy, but he still didn't have much idea.

At this time, he felt that the formation outside the courtyard was touched.

"It turns out to be Brother Yong. What do you want to see me for?"

Outside the courtyard gate, after Zhou Chun saw clearly the appearance of the person knocking on the door, he immediately smiled and greeted the visitor with a smile.

But Zhou Zhengyong frowned slightly when he saw the forced smile on his face. He couldn't help but look at him with concern and asked: "Thirteenth brother, you look a little tired. It's something in the family."

What's the matter? I heard that you seem to be very busy recently?"

"It's nothing, Brother Yong, don't think too much about it."

Zhou Chun smiled, but it was difficult to tell Zhou Zhengyong more, so he could only change the subject and said: "Brother Yong, you should tell me about why you came to see me."

Seeing this, Zhou Zhengyong seemed to have noticed something and did not ask any more questions.

She just nodded along with his words and said: "I came to see you today, Thirteenth Brother. It's not a big deal. It's just that after I learned that your sister-in-law was pregnant, my father-in-law and mother-in-law made a special trip to visit her."

Having said this, he looked at Zhou Chun with a hint of pain and said, "Then, in order to entertain these two elders, I specially brought some good things over, so I would like to invite you, thirteenth brother, to come with me and try them out."

After hearing what he said, Zhou Chun was slightly surprised, then looked at him with a heartfelt smile and said, "Is my sister-in-law actually happy? Congratulations to Brother Yong!"

"Hehehe, that's not the case. What we pay attention to when doing things is efficiency!"

Zhou Zhengyong smiled proudly, his face full of joy.

Zhou Chun was sincerely happy for him at this time, and immediately nodded and said: "In that case, Brother Yong, please wait a moment, I will clean up and then I will go with you to see my sister-in-law."

After delaying for a while, Zhou Chun, who washed his face and tidied up his appearance, followed Zhou Zhengyong to his home.

Arriving at Zhou Zhengyong's house, Zhou Chun first greeted the guests Sun Lianzhong and his wife, then raised his hand and patted the storage bag on his waist, took out a brocade box and handed it to Zhou Zhengyong's Taoist companion Sun Yujiao.

With a smile on his face, he said: "I am very happy to hear that my sister-in-law is happy. There are seven jujubes in this box, so I will give them to my sister-in-law to replenish her body. Please accept it."

Hearing his words, Sun Yujiao was slightly startled and couldn't help but look at Taoist companion Zhou Zhengyong.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhengyong immediately nodded with a smile and said: "Since it is what Thirteenth Brother wants, Yujiao, just accept it."

Sun Yujiao didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I will thank my thirteenth brother for the baby in my belly first."

After saying that, he took the brocade box, put it into the storage bag without looking at it, and then asked Zhou Chun to sit down with him.

Zhou Zhengyong really spent a lot of money to entertain his father-in-law and mother-in-law, who rarely visited his home.

On the dining table, many of the ingredients are spiritual-level ingredients that contain pure spiritual power, and can generally only be used when the Zhou family holds certain banquets.

Eating this table may only have a little effect on improving personal cultivation, but the taste is very good.

Zhou Chun could see that although Sun Lianzhong complained many times about his son-in-law spending too much money before eating, he was obviously very happy and in a very happy mood while eating.

After several people cleared the food on the table, Zhou Zhengyong brought another pot of spiritual tea as if it were a treasure.

He took out two tea cups and poured two cups of light green tea with a strong fragrance. He respectfully raised the two cups of tea and handed them to Sun Lianzhong and his wife and said:

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, you two elders, please try our Zhou family's specialty honey flower tea. This is a spiritual tea that is about to disappear in the Zhou family. My son-in-law also spent a lot of effort to get it from an elder.

I have a pill in stock and come here to honor you two elders!"

Originally, Sun Lianzhong and his wife were attracted by the fragrant tea. After hearing his words, they immediately looked at him, their eyes full of joy and satisfaction.

Apparently he was very satisfied with his son-in-law's filial piety.

"Hehehe, then we won't be polite."

Sun Lianzhong chuckled and immediately took the tea and took a sip.

Then he closed his eyes slightly and showed an expression of great enjoyment.

After a long time passed like this, he opened his eyes with a satisfied look and praised: "Good tea! It is indeed good tea!"

After saying that, I couldn't help but take another sip.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhengyong also had a happy smile on his face.

He immediately fetched another tea cup, poured a cup and handed it to Zhou Chun, saying, "Thirteenth brother, you can have a cup too. You probably haven't had this honey flower tea in a long time!"

"This scent of tea..."

Zhou Chun stared blankly at the tea cup handed over by Zhou Zhengyong. He did not reach out to take it, but thought of something and closed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.

This performance made Zhou Zhengyong very puzzled, and he immediately asked: "Thirteenth brother, Thirteenth brother, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with this tea?"

"No, it's not that there's anything wrong with the tea, it's just that I suddenly thought of something related to this honey flower tea."

Zhou Chun opened his eyes, shook his head slightly, then reached out to take the tea in Zhou Zhengyong's hand and took a sip.

It is indeed good tea!

This is the first time Zhou Chun has drank "honey flower tea" since he came to this world. The taste is indeed incredible, it is much better than the several spiritual teas he has drunk before, and the effect is the same.

But now is not the time for tea.

Zhou Chun just thought about it for a moment, then looked at Zhou Zhengyong with bright eyes and asked: "Brother Yong, where did you get this honey flower tea? I remember that this thing has been out of stock in the family since we separated.

Alright?"

When Zhou Zhengyong heard what he said, he immediately sighed softly and said: "Yes, without the [Jasper Spirit Bee] and Qing Ning Tea Tree, our Zhou family cannot make this honey tea by ourselves now. Now we only have

A very few family elders still have some stock in hand, but they are reluctant to drink it!"

At this point, he was not afraid of embarrassment and exposed his shortcomings: "Today's pill of honey flower tea is still for my brother. I relied on the face of my father who has been dead for many years, and took the unborn child in Yujiao's belly to show my affection. Please

It took a long time for Uncle Jiu to ask for it!"

"You kid...you are so thoughtful!!"

Sun Lianzhong on the side also looked moved after hearing Zhou Zhengyong's words, and looked at his son-in-law with eyes full of love.

Zhou Chun didn't care so much at this time. After listening to Zhou Zhengyong's answer, he looked thoughtful and murmured to himself: "So, spiritual things like honey flower tea,

Even the elders of the family like Uncle Jiu cannot drink it regularly now!"

"How is it possible to drink it all the time!"

Zhou Zhengyong sighed, shook his head repeatedly and said: "Not to mention Uncle Nine, I guess even the clan leaders, Supreme Elders and others would not be able to drink this honey tea often now. They probably only entertain important guests or celebrate their own birthdays.

At that time, I took it out and talked about it for a while!”

"Is that so?"

Zhou Chun muttered to himself in a low voice, then suddenly raised his head and saluted Zhou Zhengyong: "Brother Yong, please forgive me. I have something important to do and need to see the clan leader immediately, so I'll excuse you now."

After saying that, he saluted Sun Lianzhong and his wife and said, "Uncle Sun, Aunt Lin, please take your time. My nephew will take his leave now."

This did not give Zhou Zhengyong a chance to ask for reasons or to persuade him to stay, so Zhou Chun quickly left the show and left Zhou Zhengyong's house under the astonished and suspicious eyes of his family.

After staring at his leaving figure in a daze for a while, Zhou Zhengyong came back to his senses and quickly explained to Sun Lianzhong and his wife: "My father-in-law, please forgive me. Thirteenth brother has always been very steady and polite. This time

I'm afraid that something really happened, and I definitely didn't mean to neglect you two!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Lianzhong immediately waved his hand and said: "Zhengyong, you don't have to say anything. We were all watching what happened just now. Nephew Zhengchun must have something important to do, so we shouldn't disturb him."

"Father-in-law, you just need to understand!"

Zhou Zhengyong breathed a sigh of relief, then hurriedly picked up the teapot and refilled the teapot for the two elders, and began to serve them diligently.

Besides, after Zhou Chun left Zhou Zhengyong's house, he directly took out his flying magic weapon and flew towards Pagoda Peak without daring to delay for a moment.

When he saw the clan leader Zhou Daoyi in the "Zhongping Hall", he immediately bowed his hands and said, "Clan leader Mingjian, I have just discovered an important clue, and I would like to ask the clan leader to help me clear up my doubts!"

"Oh, what do you want to ask?"

Zhou Daoyi looked at him in surprise and was immediately attracted by his words.

"Junior would like to boldly ask the clan leader, as you and the supreme elder, can you still enjoy spiritual teas such as honey flower tea on a regular basis?"

Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Daoyi with a serious face and immediately asked the question in his mind.

"That's definitely not possible. Even in the past when we were in Feng Country, I and the Supreme Elder could only get three to five bottles of tea pills every year. Even for this, we still had to give some as gifts to friends outside the sect.

Taoist friends, some should be given to the descendants, and some should be reserved to entertain other distinguished guests."

"If you really count it, the number of times you can enjoy honey flower tea by yourself is only a few times a year!"

Zhou Daoyi shook his head slightly and answered Zhou Chun's question in great detail.

Then his eyes flashed with suspicion, and he looked at Zhou Chun with confusion and asked: "Zhengchun, why do you suddenly ask this question? Is the important clue you found related to this honey flower tea?"

After listening to his answer, Zhou Chun suddenly became more confident about his guess.

When he heard him ask this, Zhou Chun took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone: "Clan leader Mingjian, I think I may know who betrayed the family secrets, who betrayed the family and murdered Nineteenth Aunt!!"

"Who is it? Tell me who he is!"

Zhou Daoyi's face darkened, and he looked at Zhou Chun with a cold light in his eyes and asked the person's name in a deep voice.

"Didn't the patriarch just ask the junior why he asked about honey flower tea?"

"Actually, there is one thing that I forgot to mention in my previous investigation report. When I was questioning Qi Ge in his study, I once opened the teapot on his desk, and there was still faint honey tea inside.

The unique tea aroma.”

"It's just that I haven't drunk honey flower tea for a long time, and I didn't recognize it at the time. Today, thanks to Brother Ten, I drank a cup of honey flower tea at his place, and then I remembered where the fragrance in Brother Seven's teapot came from.

Place!"

"Patriarch, you also said that even when we were in Fengguo, Zhou family foundation-building monks like you couldn't often enjoy honey tea. So now after so long, how can Brother Qi still do it in a place like the study?

Exclusively enjoying honey flower tea? Where does his honey flower tea come from?"

"When I contacted Seventh Brother, he happened to be out on the day Nineteenth Aunt left the family. I dare not say that these two things have nothing to do with each other!"

"One more thing. I once accidentally witnessed the seventh brother coming out of the Spiritual Beast Pavilion in Fangshi. I also asked the sixteenth uncle at that time. He can testify that the seventh brother had not been to us when he went to Fangshi.

Spirit Beast House, I think this is unreasonable!"

Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Daoyi with a solemn expression, and spoke his findings and speculations in a low tone.

Although he didn't say it clearly, his words clearly made it clear who that person was.

Now it depends on what Zhou Daoyi thinks of his speculation.
