Chapter 609: Heading towards an unknown future (I)

Zhou Zhi hasn't heard the title "Young Master" for a long time.

For a moment, he was a little dazed.

But he soon came to his senses.

Fang Hui!

In the Bloody Mansion incident a year ago, assassins from the Parasite Family attacked the Eye Secret Guards under Zhong Panxi, and Fang Hui disappeared in the riot.

Zhou Zhi tried to look for it later but didn't find it. After all, the parasite family is best at hiding.

I didn't expect to get the news about Master Ascaris from Su Xing.

"Doctor Su, what else did that man say?"

Zhou Zhi asked.

Su Xing recalled seriously: "He didn't say anything, but... he seemed to say that he wanted to integrate the power of the family, so he had to go to Ji Le."

Su Xing is very sensitive to the word "family". After all, he is from a branch of the Youdu family.

[Integrated family]?
Zhou Zhi thought for a moment.

It is unlikely that someone would impersonate Master Ascaris, so Fang Hui should be fine.

To unify the family - the headquarters of the Parasite Family is in the blissful sea city [Charlando], where people love to eat raw food and it is a territory infested with parasites.

Fang Hui was one of Zhou Zhi's few friends. Although she kept many secrets from him, he had never done anything bad to him.

"Zhou Zhi, are you going to Paradise?"

Su Xing asked.

Zhou Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Once the transportation issue is settled, I will go to Jile."

"I have more than one friend there."

Zhou Zhi's voice was very calm.

In front of the Su family father and daughter, the aura of a superior person naturally arose.

Zhou Zhi felt a little sorry.

He didn't want to use any social skills with the Su family's father and daughter.

"Doctor Su Xing, I am still the same person as before...Except for the changes in my strength, other things - maybe there are changes, but the changes are not big."

Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xing seriously and said, "Back then, in Pingchang Road, Doctor Su helped me a lot. Today in Chengyun, I also learned an idiom, which is to return a favor."

The handsome young man said in a low voice: "I already understand your situation in the Su family."

"rest assured."

"From today on, you will be guests of honor at the Youdu Su family."

Zhou Zhi's voice was flat and calm.

But it gives people a very reassuring feeling.

When Su Rongrong saw Zhou Zhi now, her eyes widened: "Zhou Zhi...you are so handsome now."

Su Xing really wanted to hit his daughter on the head.

only……

Su Xing looked at Zhou Zhi with complicated eyes.

Zhou Zhi now is truly terrifying.

With just a few words, he could decide the life or death of a family that he considered a giant.

"Then, you can have more fun in Youdu these days. I will also have someone arrange Rongrong's enrollment as soon as possible. If you want to study in [Canxia Academy] in the future, you can talk to Xiaoxia and she will help me."

Su Xing nodded quickly.

Xiaoxia...This is the name of Hou Tu Niangniang.

Zhou Zhi and Lin Xiaoxia are so close now, what is their relationship?
……

Three hundred and twenty-eight years in the world calendar.

Youdu.

Three major families and various forces.

Faced with officials from the Central Investigation Team, they completely gave up resistance.

All the family members of corrupt officials were arrested by the epidemic prevention personnel without leaving a single one behind.

At the same time, the three major families had to send plague fighters to maintain order in Youdu.

The central investigation team also took over Youdu's epidemic prevention agency.

Refreshed.

Zhou Zhi knew clearly that Fang Tianzhao's main purpose was to seize power, not for the people's livelihood.

But by taking advantage of the situation, Youdu's political outlook has indeed improved a lot.

Two days ago.

In the Jewel Mansion.

Mao Jiangheng is another pacification envoy from the Xinglin Guard, a troop directly under the Emperor's command in the Chengyun Central Government. He is one of the twelve generals.

From the name, he sounds like a big and strong man, but in fact, she is a woman wearing black-framed glasses. It is said that she has been studying medicine in the Imperial Hospital in the Forbidden City for many years. Because the [Dayuan] Crane Army and the Chengyun Dynasty are about to conduct joint military exercises on the border, the emperor sent Mao Jiangheng, who is also a pharmacist, over.

The woman with black-framed glasses didn't have much expression, she just gave her instructions.

In his oral instructions, Fang Tianzhao praised Zhou Zhi and Lin Xiaoxia, the male and female evil duo.

Among them, they were particularly surprised that Zhou Zhi defeated Dizang.

To be honest, Zhou Zhi didn't know how much sincerity there was in Fang Tianzhao's surprise and praise. After all, he knew very well that the Qihuang Temple had actually always been under Fang Tianzhao's control.

Lin Xiaoxia narrowed her eyes and said, "Sister Mao is the one who holds the overall situation firmly."

"I and Zhou Zhi are just agents, not worth mentioning."

The thick black woman's social skills have almost reached the limit.

However...Mao Jiangheng doesn't seem to be very impressed by this.

"Now, the overall situation in Youdu has been settled. The officials sent by the court will stabilize the political structure of Youdu."

Mao Jiang pushed his glasses up and looked at Zhou Zhi: "Youdu, I'm just passing by. I have to go to [Shenchuan] to conduct the [Dragon Hunting Exercise]. Before that, the emperor asked me to bring this."

The woman with black-framed glasses clapped her hands.

Two tall Xinglinwei epidemic control soldiers came over carrying a small lead box.

Somewhat strange.

It was obviously only the size of a small basket, but it was carried by two huge strong men, who seemed to be struggling.

Lin Xiaoxia didn't know what was in the lead box. She looked at Zhou Zhi with her beautiful eyes. "This is the reward you received for the duel in front of the emperor. After being processed by the [Weapon Making Division] in the Forbidden City, it has become an [Epidemic Mask] that is completely suitable for your abilities."

Mao Jiangheng picked up the lead box with one hand.

The object that the two sturdy men picked up with difficulty seemed to have no weight at all in the hands of the woman with black-framed glasses.

Zhou Zhi took the lead box and his fingers sank.

Good weight!

So heavy?
Zhou Zhi recalled the epidemic mask he had chosen in the [Royal Treasure House].

Because it is a defective product from the Fallen Dragon Dynasty, it cannot be used directly.

The emperor kept his word and sent one of his generals from such a long distance to deliver the gifts.

Speaking of...

The level of this female general should be similar to Gao Lan.

Zhou Zhi cast his gaze on the woman.

Mao Jiang pushed his glasses up: "Anyway, I will stay here for about ten days."

Zhou Zhi asked softly: "What about us?"

Mao Jiangheng was indifferent: "Lin Xiaoxia has a formal position in the court and needs to return to the Forbidden City to report on his work. As for you, Zhou Zhi..."

"The emperor did not make any extra demands on this. He also said..."

"This time, you are allowed to keep a portion of the Youdu family's interests."

Zhou Zhi asked: "So, can I leave Chengyun?"

Mao Jiangheng didn't even nod or shake her head. She just said straightforwardly: "If you want to go for the dragon hunting exercise, I won't stop you, but... this time we are hunting for the real nest of [Dragon-level Plague], which is beyond the ability of individual bravery."

"Besides, you are from Xuanyuan after all."

Having said that, the woman with black-framed glasses turned and left.

After hearing this, Zhou Zhi understood.

Lin Xiaoxia bowed politely and waited for a while before speaking: "Mao Jiangheng... She is almost the best pharmacist in the palace and a master of elixirs. This is the first time the emperor has sent her to the front line."

Zhou Zhi looked at the woman's back and said, "She is very strong."

Lin Xiaoxia narrowed his eyes: "The emperor commands the entire Chengyun, and every general is an extreme monster, it's normal."

"By the way... do you plan to leave Chengyun?"

The thick black woman turned around and said: "To be honest, I think I should take a good rest next time."

Zhou Zhi nodded: "Yes, because I heard the news from my friend, I plan to go to Paradise."

Lin Xiaoxia laughed softly when she heard the word "Jile". "This is not a good place... It just so happens that I have a dinner date tonight, and that person should know a lot about Jile."

"Who?"

Zhou Zhi asked.

Lin Xiaoxia said softly: "Little Baldy, let's have vegetarian food tonight."

………………

Six Kingdoms.

Bliss.

The Western Territory, [Charlando].

The weather has been bad recently.

The European-style buildings look a little eerie under the gloomy sky.

The girl was walking in the alley holding an umbrella.

"It should be right here."

"We didn't go wrong."

The girl has a slender figure and a round face. In the dark rain, she looks like a lovely little flower.

What is worth noting is that the girl has a metal glove on her right hand.

Also, on her forehead, there is a small goggle.

now.

3pm.

The streets are strange.

This strange world is so cramped.

There was a faint stench and the sound of a drug addict coughing as leaves flew under the awning.

Some malicious glances passed over the beautiful girl.

The girl didn't care at all. She hummed a song and walked forward with a big bag on her back.

Gurgling.

It seemed as if some insect was twisting in the darkness.

I don't know since when, this place has been empty.

Somewhere an atrium opened wide.

The girl stepped in and saw dozens of people wearing the same uniforms, performing some special ceremony.

"[Ascaris Cult]... well, it's a little bit disgusting."

The girl said to herself.

At this moment, the girl has been noticed.

At the same time, everyone's eyes were focused on her.

It's like... the same person.

The eyes on everyone's face were dull, like humans, yet not like humans.

At the top, a young man wearing sunglasses smiled and said slowly, "Long time no see! I missed you so much!"

"Ok?"

The girl opened her eyes wide and looked for a long time.

"Uh……"

She was a little embarrassed: "Excuse me, who are you?"

The rain continued to fall on the streets of Xiaerlandu without stopping for a moment.
