Beast-controlling fairy clan

Shocked, disappointed, and unbelievable, this was Zhou Daoyi's look and mood at this time.

Listening to Zhou Chun's words, he had no idea that Zhou Chun's suspect would actually be Zhou Zhengkang, the foundation-building seed who had been cultivated with great attention by the family!

This result left him shocked and unbelievable.

He really didn't want Zhou Chun's suspicion to come true.

But he chewed Zhou Chun's words carefully and found that the conjecture result, which was a combination of facts and guesses, was very reasonable and could not be completely denied.

For a moment, he was stunned and did not make a sound for a long time.

Zhou Chun looked at his words and knew that it was difficult for him to accept his suspicion as fact, and he was even more worried that he would make some decision that was not good for him.

So after hesitating for a while, he suggested again: Actually, patriarch, if you want to verify the authenticity of the younger brother's suspicion without hurting Brother Seventh's trust in the family, it is very simple. You only need to ask the Supreme Elder if he has done anything recently. I just gave him honey flower tea.

If the Supreme Elder has given a large amount of honey flower tea to Seventh Brother, then Seventh Brother drinking honey flower tea alone in the study is also a normal thing that can be explained. It proves that this junior is overthinking.

Zhou Chun's suggestion was actually very risky.

Because once the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde admitted the matter, whether it was true or false, and protected Zhou Zhengkang, his suspicions would be untenable.

But Zhou Chun still did it.

The reason is simple. He must not let Zhou Daoyi have the illusion that he did this because he was jealous of Zhou Zhengkang.

Another thing is that in his mind, based on Zhou Zhengkang's previous performance, he was 80% or 90% sure that the other party was a traitor.

Even if Zhou Mingde, the Supreme Elder, comes to protect him this time and helps him escape, as long as the surveillance on him is increased in the future, there is no fear that evidence of his collusion with outsiders will not be caught.

Until this moment, even Zhou Chun himself had never thought that Zhou Zhengkang would be the murderer of Zhou Jiahui.

After listening to Zhou Chun's suggestion, Zhou Daoyi also came to his senses, nodded repeatedly and said: Zhengchun, your suggestion is very good. I will go to the Supreme Elder to verify this matter.

After speaking, his face became solemn, he looked at Zhou Chun solemnly and said, In addition, don't mention what you said today to anyone except me, not even to other elders and supreme elders. Do you understand? ?”

Yes, junior understands!

Zhou Chun's heart trembled, and he immediately responded seriously.

He knew in his heart that Zhou Daoyi was protecting himself.

Zhou Chun was sent back to Baozhifeng to wait for news.

After sending Zhou Chun away, Zhou Daoyi meditated alone in the Zhongping Hall for several hours before finally calming down and adjusting his mentality.

Then he went to the cave of Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde at the top of the pagoda.

The patriarch came to me today. Did something happen to the family?

In the cave, Zhou Mingde looked at Zhou Daoyi who was not going to the Three Treasures Hall without anything to do, and directly asked him about the purpose of his visit.

He, the Supreme Elder, usually concentrates on practicing cultivation and does not get involved in family affairs. He usually only comes to consult him when he encounters something that Zhou Daoyi and others cannot solve, or when it is a decision that cannot be made easily.

So he knew very well that something must have happened to Zhou Daoyi when he came to see him without asking for permission in advance.

Facing his inquiry, Zhou Daoyi nodded first, then shook his head and said: There is indeed something small in the family, but I don't need you to worry about it. Today, I came to see my uncle to ask for help. Some honey flower tea for the guests!”

Would you like some honey flower tea?

Zhou Mingde was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhou Daoyi carefully.

He couldn't help but shook his head and said: I don't have much honey flower tea left. When we first came to Jingguo, we gave gifts and entertained guests everywhere, but we emptied most of the inventory in our hands. Now I only have less than two bottles left in my hand. !”

Zhou Daoyi frowned when he heard this.

You don't even have my uncle in your hands anymore?

Then he nodded and said: Then let's find a solution from other clan members. I remember that boy Zhengkang also got some honey flower tea from the family before. He is young, so he should still have these things in his hands!

Unexpectedly, when Zhou Mingde heard what he said, he shook his head and said, Don't expect anything from Zhengkang. After he drank at my place two years ago, he still begged me to give him half a bottle. How could I I gave him so much, but in the end I only gave him two pills to satisfy his craving!

However, as soon as he said these words, he saw Zhou Daoyi's expression suddenly changed in front of him.

His face was instantly full of anger and he shouted: Then it looks like it's really him!!

Such a change also caused Zhou Mingde's expression to change drastically. He couldn't help but look at him solemnly and asked repeatedly: Who is he really? What are you hiding?

When Zhou Daoyi heard this, he immediately took a deep breath and said in a heavy voice: Uncle Mingjian, it's not that I deliberately concealed it just now, but I really don't dare to let you know easily until the matter is confirmed!

But now that everything is clear, I can only tell the truth to you, uncle!

Then it started with the disappearance of Zhou Jiahui, how the Zhou family failed to find the person, how they investigated the traitor, and how Zhou Chun used the clue of honey flower tea to deduce that Zhou Zhengkang was the most suspected.

Directly report all the clues and suspicions to Zhou Mingde.

And just like Zhou Daoyi's reaction when he first heard Zhou Chun mention Zhou Zhengkang as a suspect.

When Zhou Mingde heard that one of his favorite descendants was actually a traitor to the family, he was also very shocked and unbelievable.

In particular, he had no intuitive impression of Zhou Chun. It was only because Zhou Chun won the top ten in the youth group in the martial arts competition of the five major cultivating families and was the discoverer of the Red Yao Iron Ore Vein that he knew that the younger family member There is such a good junior in the clan.

At this time, he felt very ridiculous and angry when he heard that Zhou Daoyi suspected Zhou Zhengkang to be a family traitor based only on the speculation and judgment of a junior in his twenties.

Just because there is a teapot with honey flower tea in Zhengkang's study, we suspect that he betrayed the family and murdered his elders. Dao Yi, don't you think this is ridiculous?

And the junior you are talking about, how do you know that he is not jealous of Zhengkang's treatment in the family and jealous that Zhengkang is about to take the Foundation Building Pill to build the foundation, so he poured dirty water on Zhengkang like this?

Without any actual evidence, is it reasonable for you to doubt a family's foundation-building seeds?

Zhou Mingde glared at Zhou Daoyi with a frightened and angry expression, and his tone was very fierce.

No wonder he is like this.

After all, Zhou Zhengkang was his brother's descendant. He had been loved by him as his own descendant since he was a child, and he had placed high hopes on him.

Now when he heard that Zhou Daoyi suspected that his most beloved descendant had betrayed the family without any actual evidence, how could he not be extremely shocked and angry.

But Zhou Daoyi had spent several hours thinking calmly in the Zhongping Hall before, and now faced with his expected reaction, he seemed very calm.

I saw that Zhou Daoyi was not in a hurry to argue with him, but looked at him with a heavy face and said: Uncle, please calm down first. This junior knows that you love Zhengkang very much. Over the years, this junior has paid more attention and support to him than you have. Quite a few, you won’t disagree with this, right?”

When Zhou Mingde heard this, he immediately opened his mouth and was unable to refute.

Twenty years ago, not long after he broke through the Zi Mansion, he was busy familiarizing himself with this realm and practicing spells. He really didn't have much time to take care of Zhou Zhengkang, so he could only ask the clan leader Zhou Daoyi to take care of him.

Later, after the Zhou family took root in Jiufeng Ridge, he also fully understood his importance to the current Zhou family and felt that he had a heavy responsibility. Therefore, he had been practicing diligently and had no time to take care of Zhou Zhengkang.

In addition, Zhou Zhengkang had grown up by that time, so he only needed to give him more treasures and occasionally call him to his side for guidance.

At this point, he was unable to refute his words. Zhou Daoyi was convinced and continued: You said that we doubt Zhengkang without any evidence. This is obviously wrong.

Zhengkang happened to have left the family on the day that Jiahui left. Moreover, not long after Jiahui left, he came to me and said he wanted to go out for some relaxation. This time of relaxation is too much of a coincidence!

And the time when Zhengchun saw him come out of the Spiritual Beast Pavilion before. Wasn't that time shortly after the recruitment of disciples at Qinglian Temple was completed, and just a few days after your uncle and I lifted the ban on him?

At that point in time, going to the Spirit Beast Pavilion was just a way to relax in the past?

There is also the fragrance of honey flower tea that Zhengchun smelled in his study. Uncle, you and I both know that when drinking tea in a place like the study, you can only drink it by yourself, and the teapot must have been brewed for less than a day!

And this happened just ten days after Jiahui disappeared.

You also said that you haven't given him much honey tea, and the Spirit Beast Pavilion only sells spirit honey and does not sell honey tea directly. So where does his honey tea come from? Can you explain to him? is that clear?

There's another thing. From the time he came back from going out to relax to today, he has asked the junior several times when he can receive the Foundation Establishment Pill. If he hadn't doubted him before, the junior wouldn't have thought too much about it, but now he doesn't. Don’t you dare think too much about his purpose!”

It can be clearly seen that every time Zhou Daoyi said something, Zhou Mingde's face became uglier and the anger on his face diminished.

After Zhou Daoyi finished summarizing all the information, the anger on his face almost completely dissipated.

Before Zhou Daoyi finished speaking, he quickly continued: This kid, Zhengkang, I think I know him quite well. His talent and qualifications are very good, but it is precisely because of this that he has developed a proud heart. I think his future achievements will definitely be more than the junior level, and may not even stop at the Zifu stage!

Originally, it doesn't matter. If young people are not young and vigorous, they are not called young people. Who doesn't have a great time when they are young?

But you also know, uncle, that when we prevented him from worshiping the Qinglian Temple, it was a huge blow to him. He even felt that we were blocking his path!

Of course, you and I both know that after he builds the foundation in the future, he will gradually understand how difficult it will be to open the Purple Mansion later, and understand how rare it is to have spiritual objects that are useful to monks in the foundation building stage. He will naturally figure it out by then. These, so I didn’t pay too much attention to his childish thoughts.”

Speaking of this, Zhou Daoyi couldn't help but sigh deeply with a wry smile: But now it seems that it is really possible for him to do something stupid that neither you nor I thought he would do! No normal person can do it! There will always be abnormal people who can do things!

Only Zhou Daoyi himself knew how much heartache and grief this last sentence contained.

If there weren't too many clues pointing to Zhou Zhengkang, Zhou Daoyi would never believe that Zhou Zhengkang, the seed of the family's foundation, would betray the family!

Even if this kind of thing is said out loud, not many members of the Zhou family would believe it or dare to believe it.

Because Zhou Zhengkang's conditions are so excellent, including his excellent spiritual talent and excellent background. With the combination of these two, he is destined to become one of the most powerful people in the Zhou family in the future, and even have many people. It is possible to remove the word one.

With such good conditions, normal people would only think of betraying and leaving the family if they had a bad brain.

Although I still find it hard to believe that Zhengkang would do such a thing, Dao Yi, since you are convinced of this matter, I can ask you to verify the authenticity. What are you going to do?

Zhou Mingde looked at Zhou Daoyi, who looked complicated in front of him. After being silent for a while, he still made a decision that was consistent with his identity.

He was able to stand up and take the lead and lead the monks of the Zhou family to Jiufeng Ridge to lay down their roots. There was no need to doubt the loyalty and love of the Zhou family.

Therefore, even if it was hard for him to believe that Zhou Zhengkang would betray his family, after Zhou Daoyi, the patriarch who also trusted him deeply, had expressed his intention to investigate the matter, he would not forcefully stop it for his own personal reasons.

It's just that this kind of investigation and verification must be conducted under his supervision.

Zhou Daoyi also understood this, so he quickly said: This is very simple. If Zhengkang is really such a stupid and unaware idiot, we only need to call him over to confront him and search him. Under the watchful eye and interrogation, as long as those clues pointing to him are true, it is impossible for him to remain completely silent!

Okay, let's do it!

Zhou Mingde twitched his eyebrows, and immediately went to the Zhongping Hall with Zhou Daoyi, and then watched Zhou Daoyi assign the big blue parrot Lanlan to summon Zhou Zhengkang.

Not long after this, Zhou Zhengkang came to the palace.

It can be clearly seen that when Zhou Mingde was also in the hall, Zhou Zhengkang had a look of panic in his eyes.

Although he quickly covered it up, it still couldn't escape the eyes of Zhou Mingde and the two of them, and their hearts immediately sank.

Then Zhou Mingde seemed to have completely forgotten the previous discussion process with Zhou Daoyi, and his hair and beard were standing straight, he glared at Zhou Zhengkang who had just entered the palace and shouted: Nie Zhan, you have done something wrong!

ah! !

Zhou Zhengkang was shocked. He stepped back a few steps and said hurriedly: Grandpa, what did you say? Why can't my grandson understand?

I still want to make excuses!

Zhou Mingde roared angrily, then raised his hand and used the Standing Technique to freeze Zhou Zhengkang in place.

Then he reached out and the storage bag on Zhou Zhengkang's waist fell into his hands.

I saw him easily opening the storage bag and shaking out everything inside.

Soon the jade bottle containing the remaining honey flower tea tea pills was taken into his hands.

When he saw the relatively new tea balls inside, the anger on Zhou Mingde's face was no longer a deliberate show.

Just for a few tea pills, you betrayed the family and murdered the elders!!

He squeezed the jade bottle in his hand tightly and glared at Zhou Zhengkang with an angry face, the anger in his eyes almost turned into substance.

At this time, Zhou Daoyi used his spiritual consciousness to scan the pile of things on the ground, and soon looked at one of the purses containing a large number of spiritual coins and said: There are also a lot more spiritual coins. He has been practicing in the family. , I still know how much he is worth, but the number of spirit coins in this storage bag is obviously far beyond what he should be worth!

After receiving his reminder, Zhou Mingde also glanced at the bulging money bag, and then his face became more angry.

He raised his hand and slapped Zhou Zhengkang to the ground with a loud slap, which also released the effect of the body holding technique.

Tell me, I'm waiting to hear your sophistry. Let's see how capable you are. You can fabricate the origins of these things so well that you can't find any mistakes!

At this moment, Zhou Mingde was like a furious lion, staring fiercely at Zhou Zhengkang, which was very scary.

It was hard for him to believe that Zhou Zhengkang would betray his family before, but now he was so angry inside.

Even Zhou Daoyi, who knew him well, could not guess how he would deal with Zhou Zhengkang at this time.
