Start from Wusheng

Chapter 943 The aftermath spreads
"Thank you...Father!"

Outside Wanli Swamp, Chu Jianxiu looked at Zhou You with a complicated expression and bowed to him to say goodbye.

After the matter was settled, Zhou You politely declined Lu Zhigang's invitation to a banquet and set out on his journey back to the provincial capital.

The two parties have reached an agreement that Chu Jianxiu and Lu Chongsheng's relationship will be unrestricted from now on.

Lu Zhigang nodded in approval, which meant that there were no more obstacles to the interaction between the two young people, and they could now interact openly.

From the perspective of interests, this is a win-win situation.

Chu Jianxiu is a rising star in Wanxiu Mountain. When he becomes a powerful warrior in the future, the father and son will be both powerful warriors. They will definitely be a powerful force in Wanxiu Mountain. They may even compete for the position of the mountain master.

As for Lu Chongsheng, she is Lu Zhigang's adopted daughter, and everyone in Wanli Swamp Sea calls her "Young Master".

The exchanges between the two have extraordinary political significance, representing the close connection between Wanxiu Mountain and Wanli Swamp Sea.

This is at the official level.

Privately, Lu Chongsheng is facing the aggressive Chan Juan'er and is in urgent need of external help. Chu Jianxiu has two big backers, Lian Zixiu and Zhou You. The latter is a powerful warrior in the late stage who even Lu Zhigang is afraid of.

Becoming a couple with Hatsumi Hideki would do her no harm at all.

As for Hatsumi-sama, although he is only interested in love, it is hard to say what his future will be like...

On the Wanli Swamp Sea side, Lu Zhigang had no other disciples or successors, and the designated 'young master' was only Lu Chongsheng.

If Chu Jianxiu could marry him, it would mean that Wanxiu Mountain’s influence would extend deep into the Wanli Swamp Sea.

Even if he himself or Lian Zixiu has no such intention, Wan Xiushan and even other forces will take this opportunity to add fuel to the fire and promote this happy event of "a happy marriage for a hundred years".

"Well, when you go back, tell your mother about this and give this to her!"

The pill Zhou You gave to Chu Jianxiu was also a pill of eternal youth. He got five pills in total in Dijing, and gave one to Zhu Qinghua and Qi Qingyao respectively. After returning to Beixuan Mansion, he gave one to Hua Youxing, Qi Fengzi and Zeng Ruyu. The last one was given to Bao Shuixian, the mother of his eldest son.

After learning about the effect of this magic pill, Chu Jianxiu had a complicated expression and asked, "How about you go meet her?"

"If she wants to see me, Wanxiu Mountain is not far from the city, so she can meet me anytime."

Zhou You sighed, "The world is like water, flowing eastward. People today are no longer the same as they were in the past. Seeing them will only add to my sadness."

With Bao Narcissus's identity, she is destined to be unable to be with Zhou You. Her only hope in this life is to watch her son Chu Jianxiu grow up healthily and achieve success!

As for the hungry young man Zhou You from Gongliang City back then, he might have been an old friend in her memory from long ago.

"I will be travelling far away soon, and we won't be able to see each other for a long time. You, take care of yourself!"

Before Zhou You left, he left some meaningful words for Chu Jianxiu.

A few days later, the news that Zhou You severely injured Zheng Feixiong, the master of Dayin Mountain, at the Martial Saint Ruins and fought a draw with the tiger corpse spread far and wide, shocking everyone in the north.

This move announced the birth of a master of the late stage of strong martial arts.
As for the Wusheng Ruins where the conflict occurred, some people went there to search for treasures and antiques, but found that it had been abandoned.

So some people say that Zhou You obtained the inheritance of the Martial Saint in the ruins and became a powerful martial arts master who could rival the tiger corpse.

Once upon a time, Zhou You was just one of Hu Shi's insignificant disciples. Now he is completely different and is on par with his ancestor. It is a miracle.

After learning about the Wanli Lake Incident, he couldn't help but feel relieved that he didn't provoke Zhou You to go on a killing spree.

The two masters of Dayin Mountain have made Zhou You famous. If Lu Zhigang had fallen out with him back then, it would be unknown how much of Wanli Swamp Sea would be left now!
Many senior officials below Lu Zhigang were extremely secretive about the relationship between Zhou You and Chu Jianxiu, fearing that it would trigger a "silencing".

Although Chu Jianxiu and Lu Chongsheng's public dealings have attracted a lot of attention and speculation, they are somewhat insignificant in this context.

Fucheng! Outside the simple stone house of the Lord of the Fu...

Liu Jinguo's face was lifelike, and her body looked as if she were still alive. All her wounds had healed, her skin was smooth without any trace of scars, her face was rosy, and her hair was black.

The Lord of the Mansion looked at her body with a trace of sadness in her eyes. She had just heard Zhou You's account of the whole incident.

After a long while, he spoke, "You did the right thing. This is the conspiracy of the Queen of Charm. Only decisive killing can eliminate the hidden danger."

"But, she is my disciple after all!"

Zhou You clasped his fists and pleaded guilty, "My Lord, I am willing to bear this sin, please punish me!"

"I can't punish you."

The Lord of the Mansion spread his hands, "You are the son of the Western Clan of the Zhou Clan in the Left Mansion of Dijing, the adopted son of the Di Clan, the Lord of Zhou Zhu Qinghua, and the biological father of Niu Gong's beloved disciple. You are a strong man in the late stage of Qiangwu who can rival the strong man of the Di Clan..."

Before he knew it, Zhou You already had so many titles, satisfying the conditions for triggering the joke "the house can't accommodate all these people".

"But every crime must be punished. I sentence you to a life for every life you find the Queen of Charm!"

Zhou You looked at the determined Lord of the Mansion and clasped his fists, "Zhou You, accept the punishment!"

The Lord of the Mansion was reasonable and did not pursue the matter. He knew that Liu Jinguo's fate was sealed the moment Mei Duo appeared.

As a master, he has a clearer understanding of the truth of the world and knows that enchantments are like cancer in this world and there is currently no possibility of a cure.

However, Liu Jinguo is the legitimate daughter of the Liu family in Fucheng after all.

No matter what the inside story is, the fact that Zhou You killed Liu's legitimate daughter cannot be ignored.

So, Liu Fengji found Zhou You.

"Venerable Zhou, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

Liu Fengji was very polite in front of Zhou You. He was the contemporary leader of the Liu family, a third-level martial artist. With his seal script skills, his overall strength was comparable to that of the fourth-level martial artist.

In addition, he is in his prime and full of energy, and there is even hope that he will be promoted to the late stage of strong martial arts in the future.

However, standing in front of Zhou You, all the brilliance and glory seemed dim.

The late stage of Qiangwu was only a possibility for his future, but it was Zhou You's present. This folk warrior came from behind and became the big man he looked up to. He had mixed feelings when they met again.

"I roughly know the purpose of Venerable Liu's visit."

Zhou You asked calmly, "May I ask what Liu wants in this matter?"

"We have no ill intentions!"

Liu Fengji explained, "Jinguo is my sister. I am very sad about her accident, but although we are blood relatives, the great principles are more important. Venerable Zhou did such a difficult thing. He was patient and humiliated. I admire him!"

"But there are still some details we need to know. Can Venerable Zhou tell us what happened at the Martial Saint Ruins?"

Zhou You immediately understood that this was the purpose of the other party's visit... the ruins of the Martial Saint.

On that day, there were not only him and Liu Jinguo who entered the underground space, but also other powerful warriors, Zheng Feixiong and his group, Hu Shi, Mu Leizheng, and others who left earlier.

These people more or less know the inside story of the ruins. It has been a hot topic recently and a lot of the news came from them.
