In the interrogation room.

It was dark and cold, and you couldn't see your fingers.

There was only the sound of water dripping in my ears.

Cold and suffocating.

Lu Yao squatted in the corner, hugging her legs tightly, and looked at the entrance where she was just thrown in with her eyes.

After serving the ancient family for so many years, this was the first time she was thrown into a hellish interrogation room.

Here, there is no torture.

Just cold, dark, and hungry.

At this moment, Lu Yao had thousands of thoughts in her heart.

She regretted that she had come back obediently. If Bonacay had been delayed for another day and Bonacay suddenly died of a serious illness, no one would pay attention to her whereabouts.

She couldn't help pinching her legs with her fingers and sighed deeply.

During Bonacay's funeral, the entire ancient family did not deal with anything.

She will also be locked up in this place for three years.

After getting over it, he was taken for interrogation.

If she couldn't survive it, she would have to wait three years before someone came to sweep up her bones and dump them out like garbage.

Three years later, a new helmsman can take over.

It was difficult for her to count on Zhou Luoxi.

A salute sounded outside, twelve times in a row.

Representing the death of the current helmsman, all members of the ancient family had to put down their tasks and gather in the auditorium.

Starting today, Bonacay’s mourning period begins.

When Lu Yao was falling into despair, there was a sound of footsteps. She immediately pricked up her ears. Listening to the footsteps getting closer, she suddenly felt hope again. Sure enough, the iron door was opened the next second, and the dark space was illuminated by strong light.

Uncomfortable, she raised her hands to cover her eyes, and heard a familiar voice in her ears: "Yao, I'm here to pick you up."

Lu Yao immediately put down her hand and looked at the unshaven Zhou Luoxi in front of her, her eyes instantly wet.

"ALL, why are you here?"

Logically speaking, he should attend Bonacay's funeral and preside over it.

Zhou Luoxi glanced at the person beside him, and then said to Lu Yao: "I can't explain that much first. Before anyone knows, you leave here with me. I can deal with those old people. As long as we get out of this ghost place, I will find a way to set you free."

Lu Yao didn't hesitate, stood up quickly, and followed Zhou Luoxi out of this terrible place.

By coincidence, as soon as the two of them walked to the outer corridor, they were bumped into by the elders of the ancient family.

Lu Yao hurriedly hid behind Zhou Luoxi, her heart trembling slightly.

When the elders saw Zhou Luoxi, they first saluted, and then the eldest one said: "ALL, Bonacay passed away suddenly from a serious illness. Even the life-saving medicines of our ancient family are ineffective, which means that the enemy has targeted the life-saving medicines of our ancient family. A restraining drug has been developed, and your current situation is very dangerous. It is best not to show up. I will personally host the funeral."

"I will attend and host the funeral, but I will not accept the identity of the next leader." Zhou Luoxi's words struck a cold blow on several old people.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Our ancient family has trained you for so many years, and now you are telling us to quit?"

"Yes, if you didn't tell me sooner or later, wouldn't you want our ancient family to be in turmoil at this juncture?"

"We will never allow you to do whatever you want."

The old people yelled at each other to stop Zhou Luoxi.

Zhou Luoxi didn't take it seriously and said: "I have been banned by Bonacay for five years. In these five years, I have not been involved in any tasks of the ancient family. If you ask me to take over, it will only make the situation worse. Moreover, If you don’t agree with my choice, I will use all my strength to bring the ancient family into chaos!"

The old man blew his beard angrily and glared: "How dare you!!!"

Zhou Luoxi sneered: "I've been banned for five years, what else am I afraid of?"
