Chapter 326: Devil Sect

Fortunately, these people had only fainted from the shocking Devil Qi. Not long after, the group of people woke up one after another. After waking up, Elder Zhou and the others didn’t ask Zhou Ping anything. After confirming that there were no problems, they ordered someone to tidy up the Zhou family’s main courtyard.

“Father, are we really not asking anything?” Zhou Guosheng, who was beside Elder Zhou, whispered to him.

“Ask what?” Elder Zhou looked at Zhou Guosheng.

“Everyone has their own secrets. Since Ping has to guarantee that there will be no problems with this matter, why should we ask? Could you not trust Ping?”

“Of course I trust him.” Zhou Guosheng nodded.

“Isn’t that enough? A’ping’s position is already higher than ours. If we randomly intervened, we would only drag him down. We might as well leave everything to him.” Elder Zhou’s words carried the wisdom of an elder who had seen through the affairs of the world. Zhou Guosheng was being taught humbly. It wasn’t that he didn’t understand this logic, but understanding and being able to do it were two different things.

On the other side, Zhou Ping’s own room’s roof had been penetrated by the almost solidified devil energy, so he couldn’t live there anymore. Fortunately, the damaged building was only Zhou Ping’s.

Therefore, Zhou Ping only needed to move to the guest room temporarily.

“I originally wanted to give you a Barrier Breaking Pill, but I didn’t expect to save it now,” Looking at Zuo Miaoyan’s increasingly attractive appearance, Zhou Ping smiled and said.

“That Barrier Breaking Pill, this slave doesn’t need it. Master can leave it for the rest of the Zhou family.”

Zuo Miaoyan was still as docile as a cat in front of Zhou Ping. She didn’t forget her roots just because she had broken through to the True Qi Realm.

“I will leave two or three for the Zhou family.” Zhou Ping shook his head.

“A commoner is innocent, and he will be a criminal in the presence of wealth. If this Barrier Breaking Pill was left behind generously, it will definitely attract the attention of countless people. There are a lot of strange things that happen in the rivers and lakes. Instead, it will make the Zhou family restless.

“Moreover, the country pays close attention to those who are in the True Qi Realm. As one of the mainstays of the country, the Zhou family has some bottom lines that can not be touched. If there are one or two experts in the True Qi Realm, it doesn’t matter. If too many experts in the True Qi Realm appeared, then the country wouldn’t be able to relax.”

The Zhou family’s position as the leader of the six big families was one of protection, enjoyment, but also shackles. After all, no matter how powerful a family was, it was impossible for them to openly fight against the entire country. There were some things that should be avoided, so he had to take the initiative to avoid them. This wasn’t a demand imposed by the state, but an attitude that a private family had to show.

“By the way, you only managed to break through to the True Qi Realm after absorbing so much Devil Qi?” Zhou Ping suddenly remembered that Zuo Miaoyan had absorbed a lot of Devil Qi. No matter if it was in terms of quality or quantity, the Devil Qi was very impressive. After all, that was a power that made Zhou Ping’s heart palpitate. How could Zuo Miaoyan, who had absorbed it, simply break through to the True Qi Realm?

“This servant does not know.” Zuo Miaoyan’s eyes were blank as she shook her head.

“Forget it, don’t think too much. I’ll go ask my teacher when I’m free.” Zhou Ping thought about it for a while but couldn’t think of a reason. He simply couldn’t be bothered to think about it anymore and decided to directly throw the problem for Teacher Xiao to solve.

In any case, Teacher Xiao’s cultivation was mysterious and profound, so she must know a lot about this.

Zhou Ping relaxed and began to rest with Zuo Miaoyan in his arms.

The night quickly passed.

Zhou Ping and Zuo Miaoyan slept soundly for the rest of the night. But for others, it wasn’t that simple.

At least the spies from the Devil Sect hadn’t rested for the entire night.

With the development of modern technology, there were many ways to investigate. In just one night, the spies from the Devil Sect found the Zhou family’s main courtyard.

“Are you sure the Devil Qi from last night came from here?” A group of spies from the Devil Sect pretended to be in the wrong and walked past the Zhou Family courtyard.

“I’ve confirmed that there’s still Devil Qi left here. Coupled with the information and evidence that I collected, yesterday’s Devil Qi erupted from here.”

A few spies confirmed the location of the Devil Qi explosion and disappeared on the road.

At this moment, Zhou Ping knew nothing about all of this. Because of yesterday’s explosion of Devil Qi, everyone in the Zhou family’s courtyard, from Elder Zhou to servants, all fainted. Even after a night, no one had fully recovered. Zuo Miaoyan, as the main culprit of everything, was hiding in her room and was embarrassed to leave.

“Master, go and get together with your family. I won’t go. I am just a female slave, how can I sit at the same table as the master? Besides… This slave caused such an embarrassing incident last night, and now she didn’t dare to appear in front of everyone…” Zuo Miaoyan smiled awkwardly and asked Zhou Ping to join everyone for breakfast.

Zhou Ping shrugged and did not force Zuo Miaoyan. Zhou Ping left the room and walked towards the hall.

“Brother, what happened yesterday? Why do I feel like everyone is acting weird today?”

Zhou Ping had just stepped into the hall when he saw his sister, Zhou Tong, question him with a puzzled expression.

Last night, Zhou Tong was drunk and her whole body was cut off. Not to mention an explosive aura, even if you created a volcanic earthquake, Zhou Tong would still be unable to wake up.

“It’s nothing. Just eat well later.” Zhou Ping didn’t plan to tell Zhou Tong when the matter was over anyway. It didn’t matter if he said anything.

Zhou Tong pouted but didn’t say anything. She wasn’t stupid. Since her brother didn’t even want to tell her, it meant that she didn’t need to know.

When he reached the front of the hall, Elder Zhou was already sitting there. Unlike the average Patriarch, Elder Zhou never liked to put on airs and make everyone wait for him. Every time they ate, Elder Zhou was the most punctual and never late.

“Ping, today’s breakfast is meat porridge with preserved eggs. Hurry up and try to taste it.” Elder Zhou smiled at Zhou Ping as if nothing had happened last night.

Zhou Ping and his grandfather greeted them and sat down.

Meat porridge with preserved eggs. You mustn’t think that it was just a normal meat porridge with preserved eggs. The preserved egg was made from a variety of medicinal ingredients, and the lean meat was even more impressive. It was the meat of the True Qi Realm demon beast that Zhou Ping had brought back yesterday. Even the rice used to make porridge was a high-grade product specially provided by the state.

Zhou Ping was already used to this. Actually, the breakfast for the higher-ups was very simple. There wouldn’t be a person with a hundred and eighty dishes for breakfast, unless there was something wrong with that person’s brain.

However, simplicity didn’t mean that it was ordinary. Zhou Ping had just picked up the porridge and was about to take a sip when suddenly, a strong aura erupted from the courtyard.

“It’s Zuo Miaoyan! Something happened!”

After judging the direction, Zhou Ping stood up in surprise.
