Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 32 Bodhisattva Snake
"Crunch... crunch..."

The long boots stepped on the thick snow, making a rhythmic sound. Several figures appeared in the forest one after another and quickly dispersed.

"Son."

After a moment, someone shouted from afar:

"found it!"

The snow was pulled away, revealing a stiff corpse.

"Damn it!" The person who spoke had delicate features and fair skin, like a finely carved porcelain doll, but his voice was extremely harsh and shrill:
"Yuan Chong? He died at a really bad time!"

"elder brother."

Zhou Yuanling tilted his head:
"This is the place you told me your good husband would live. You also said he was gifted and had treasures that could strengthen his body. Now even his body is nowhere to be found."

As the daughter of the Zhou family, she didn't like the marriage arranged by her family. How could the son of a servant of the Zhu family be worthy of her?
Fortunately, Yuan Bao has developed internal energy at a young age, and his potential is promising. In addition...

Zhou Ye said that there was another opportunity for Yuan Bao to cultivate his internal energy, and considering that "opportunity", he reluctantly agreed.

Never thought.

Something happened suddenly!

He didn't gain any benefit at all, but instead got the reputation of being engaged to someone.

"Who killed him?" Zhou Ye ignored his sister's complaints and squatted down with a gloomy face to examine Yuan Chong's body:

"Although Yuan Chong hasn't developed internal energy, he has made some progress in entering the realm of strength. His foundation is not bad, so it won't be easy to kill him."

"Yuan Hu's headless body was found in the courtyard of the county town. Yuan Chong was also killed. Yuan Bao is nowhere to be found. He is most likely dead." Zhou Yuanling curled her lips.

"This is a family of three who were wiped out. I wonder if they have recently provoked some evil spirit from somewhere."

Ok?
Zhou Ye looked up.

"elder brother."

Zhou Yuanling raised an eyebrow when he saw this:
"you know?"

"...Zhu Mansion." Zhou Ye's eyes flickered:
"The old servant of the Zhu Mansion died because of Yuan Bao, but the Zhu family shouldn't have such a master."

"This injury..."

After carefully examining the injury, his eyes narrowed:

"The claw force penetrated the head, but it did not leave any fingerprints. Only a master who can release internal energy can do this. It is not difficult for such a master to capture Yuan Bao alive."

There is no means to release qi and blood in this world, so it would naturally be mistaken for the release of internal qi. After all, there is almost no difference in the injuries.

"Release the internal energy?" Zhou Yuanling couldn't help but cry out:
"Is there such a person in the Zhu family?"

Zhou Ye's expression changed.

The current Zhu family certainly does not have such a master, but it is not certain that the Zhu family does not have connections in the provincial capital.

Release the internal energy!

He was barely considered a top figure in Hejian Prefecture. Sun Liancheng, the former top master in Leping County, had only reached this level.

"call……"

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Ye spoke in a muffled voice:
"Go back and discuss this with Dad."

"We should discuss this." Zhou Yuanling rolled her eyes.
"A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even though Mr. Zhu is dead, his connections are still there. You shouldn't be so eager to take over the Zhu Family Forest Farm. Yuan Bao's opportunity... is gone too."

…………

The next day.

Zhou Ye, accompanied by his servants, knocked on the door of Zhu's mansion.

"squeak……"

Ma Xun opened the outer door and his expression darkened when he saw who was coming.

"Little brother." Zhou Ye smiled and clasped his hands together.

"He's Xia Zhouye, currently the chief constable of Leping County. We met before at Zhujia Forest Farm."

"I know." Ma Xun said with a cold face:
"busy?"

"Uh..." Zhou Ye's expression froze, and he suppressed his anger and said:
"I'm afraid Brother Zhu might have misunderstood the matter regarding the forest farm, so I came to visit and explain, and I also brought some gifts."

As he spoke, he slightly tilted his body to let the servants bring him the generous gifts.

"Wait!"

"Peng!"

The door closed, and the smile on Zhou Ye's face froze.

Not long after.

Ma Xun opened the door a crack again and said:
"My young master said that an elderly person in the family passed away recently, so it is not convenient to receive outsiders. Mr. Zhou, please go back."

"But..." Zhou Ye stepped forward hurriedly.

"Peng!"

Ma Xun did not give him a chance to explain, and slammed the door shut, rejecting him.

"Sir." The servant behind came forward and said:
"This Zhu family is too bullying. Do you want me to send someone to smash their door and let you vent your anger?"

"Snapped!"

Zhou Ye slapped the servant with his backhand, sending him flying.

"Bastard thing!"

"We're here to apologize. What do you want to do? Are you trying to embarrass me, your son?"

"Yes, yes." The servant knelt down and answered, covering his face and whispering:
"Sir, what should we do now?"

"Go back!" Zhou Ye took a deep breath:

"Since someone has passed away in the Zhu Mansion, let's come back in a few days. He can't just keep the door closed to visitors forever."

…………A few days later.

The Zhou family servant knocked on the outer door of the Zhu Mansion again.

Ma Xun opened the door and raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the person coming.

"Little brother……"

"unfortunately!"

Ma Xun shrugged and interrupted Zhou Ye:
"My young master went to the capital to celebrate the hundredth day of his life for the eldest lady's child. He is not in the mansion today."

"What?" Zhou Ye frowned and said with a strange look in his eyes:

"What a coincidence?"

"It's just a coincidence." Ma Xun raised his eyebrows:
"Whether you believe it or not, my young master is not at home today. Mr. Zhou, please come back when you have time."

Saying that, he was about to close the door.

"Wait!" Zhou Ye stretched out his hand to block:
"When will Brother Zhu be able to return?"

"At the fastest, it will take three days. If it's slow, it won't be clear." Ma Xun shook his head.
"As servants, how can we ask about the master's movements? We just follow his orders and do what he tells us to do."

"Peng!"

The door is closed.

…………

A few more days passed.

Zhou Ye and his men appeared in front of Zhu Mansion again.

"you again!"

When he opened the door, Ma Xun looked strange.

"Little brother."

Zhou Ye bowed:

"You won't tell me that Brother Zhu is not at home today?"

"Indeed." Ma Xun nodded.
"The young master is not here today."

"Nonsense!" Zhou Ye said in a cold voice with anger on his face:

"Zhou specifically asked someone to keep an eye on him outside the city. Yesterday evening, Brother Zhu returned to the city, and someone saw him with their own eyes."

"That's right." Ma Xun grinned.
"The young master returned home yesterday, but he went out again today."

"Where did you go?" Zhou Ye took a step forward, unable to suppress his anger.

"I'm not someone you can easily bully. Why do you keep preventing me from seeing Brother Zhu? What's your intention?"

"Believe it or not!" Ma Xun took a step back and said:
"He went to the forest farm today. There was also a banquet hosted by the young masters of the He and Leng families. My young master has a lot of things to do. It's not surprising that he is not at home."

"Linchang, banquet?" Zhou Ye's eyes flashed:
"In other words, Brother Zhu will definitely be at home tonight."

"That's hard to say." Ma Xun said:

"We servants can't control where the young master goes. If something unexpected happens, we never know."

"Humph!" Zhou Ye snorted coldly:
"I'll trust you one last time. I'll be waiting here today. If Brother Zhou doesn't come back..."

"Zhou will make you pay!"

"Whatever you want." Ma Xun closed the outer door directly.
"Wait!"

*

*
There are countless mountains south of Leping County, which are filled with miasma and poisonous insects, making them the perfect place for Tibetans.

Somewhere in the forest.

Zhu Ju's figure appeared in front of a simple thatched hut.

"Son."

The snake breeder Sang Er came over holding a clay pot.
"This is a medicinal wine made from the Bosuqu snake. Drinking it can make you feel refreshed and increase your strength."

"Then Yuan Bao cultivates his internal energy by drinking it every day."

"Hmm." Zhu Ju took the jar, sniffed the strong lingering smell of wine, and asked:
"Have you arranged your family affairs during this period?"

"..." Sang Er nodded repeatedly:
"Thanks to the silver you gave me, my wife's eyes lit up when she saw it, and she didn't even ask where I had been for the past year."

"Fortunately, she takes good care of the child. If she doesn't care, then she doesn't care."

And said:

"Don't worry, sir. I haven't told anyone about the Yuan family. If anyone dares to tell anyone, I'll be struck by lightning!"

He was filled with gratitude towards Zhu Ju, who not only rescued him from the Yuan family father and son, but also paid him two taels of silver a month to raise snakes.

To know.

The Yuan family father and son asked him to raise snakes but did not give him any money and often beat and scolded him.

Now, not only do I not have to worry, but I also have a stable job, I don’t have to worry about supporting my family, and I have a goal for the future.

As for betrayal...

Sang Er had also seen the world and knew the strength of his current backers, so he would not say anything nonsense.

"Bodhisattva Snake!"

Zhu Ju lowered his eyes and looked.

This is a precious snake recorded in medical books. It has a faint golden glow all over its body, fleshy horns on its head, moves like the wind, and is extremely difficult to catch.

Yuan Bao took medicinal wine made from the Bosuqu snake and cultivated his internal energy with his mediocre martial arts skills. His foundation was as solid as that of the wealthy disciples in the provincial capital. That's why he was chosen as a son-in-law by the Zhou family.

For Zhu Ju, the Bosuqu Snake is also a rare treasure, especially effective in tempering the body.

However, the specific effect will only be known after trying it.
