Otherworldly Singer: Pure-hearted Wolves and Fiery Love

Ever since Zhou Qiqi returned to the Zhou family, Zhou Lin has treated her with utter disdain. The family's advisors, who usually greet Zhou Qiqi with kindness and gentleness, are few and far between.

Seeing Zhou Qiqi's good treatment made Zhou Lin furious. However, no matter what, she was still the daughter of the Zhou family head, so her treatment wouldn't be much worse.

Little did I know that this one mistake would lead to eternal regret.

She actually stole the manuscript from the study, and then her own father scrapped it.

Zhou Qiqi looked at Uncle Wu, thinking to herself: The authority and rules of a large family are truly terrifying; this is too horrible. Zhou Lin is, after all, the daughter of the family head, yet she so easily deposed her.

Uncle Wu said with a heavy expression, "The Zhou family is fair in its rewards and punishments. Miss's father used to be quite mischievous, and although the Third Young Master is a playboy, he knows the rules and wouldn't dare to act recklessly. The Fourth Miss has committed a serious offense this time, and the Master and the others will definitely cripple her Battle Core Sea."

The matter of red-tier songs is significant; it's a major event that can directly increase the number of high-tier warriors.

Zhou Lin stole the sheet music and gave it to outsiders. Even a modified version is tantamount to handing over a clan's secret treasure to others, allowing another family to rise to power.

Even if the modified sheet music wasn't quite at the red level, the fact that Zhou Lin stole it from Zhou Mian meant it was a very serious matter!

Uncle Wu said with a worried look, "The Zhou family has few offspring, and the fourth young lady... is the daughter of the family head. Now that our Zhou family has risen to prominence, it is enough to take good care of the fourth young lady, educate her, and limit her living expenses."

He looked at Zhou Qiqi and gently advised her:

"Fifth Miss, Uncle Wu hopes that you will not take out sheet music casually in the future. If you have any compositions, please discuss them with the head of the family. We, the Zhou family, will not treat you unfairly."

After listening, Zhou Qiqi turned her gaze to the window of the office and stared blankly at the green belt.

Destroying Zhou Lin's core battle ability was really a bit too much.

Zhou Lin was a bit foolish; she boasted that she would get red-level songs for others, but in reality, she only verbally agreed.

Those scions of powerful families didn't dare to mess with Zhou Lin. After all, a verbal agreement was enough to trick her into wanting a red-tier song. If they were to sign a written agreement, it would mean the Zhou family would break ties with the four major families and become enemies.

The Zhou family already has three members who have successfully advanced to high-level warriors. A single high-level warrior can easily destroy a small aristocratic family. Even if a major aristocratic family has high-level warriors, the Zhou family is definitely not someone that a major aristocratic family can afford to offend.

The scions of powerful families aren't stupid, so their deal with Zhou Lin was merely a verbal agreement.

The Zhou family can completely deny this matter.

This matter is neither a big deal nor a small one.

To the average person, simply giving Zhou Lin a good talking-to, and transferring the daily enjoyment that Zhou Lin deserves to Zhou Qiqi would be enough.

Destroying the core of the battle sea would truly cripple Zhou Lin.

The Zhou family rules are very cruel.

However, the mistake had already been made, and Zhou Lin regretted it too late.

Zhou Qiqi followed Uncle Wu and the other guards back to the classroom, looking at Zhi Xiuwen with an icy expression.

"What a scoundrel!" Zhou Qiqi thought indignantly. "He actually managed to trick Zhou Lin into stealing the manuscript."

It's one thing that Zhou Lin is mentally challenged, but she's still my fourth sister.

Now, because of this Zhi Xiuwen, Zhou Lin has been crippled, causing a rift in Zhou Qiqi's interpersonal relationships within the Zhou family.

Given the other party's ill intentions, how could Zhou Qiqi possibly have a good attitude towards Zhi Xiuwen, who had ulterior motives?

Zhou Qiqi's cold face made Zhi Xiuwen extremely uncomfortable.

Zhi Xiuwen did indeed try to trick Zhou Lin into giving him the sheet music, but he was only doing it as a trial and didn't expect to successfully fool Zhou Lin into producing the red-level sheet music.

Zhi Xiuwen had just reviewed the sheet music and was quite certain that Zhou Lin had stolen the genuine article. However, there seemed to be some discordant parts in the melody, clearly indicating that it was a deliberately altered version.

Zhi Xiuwen didn't even have time to feel secretly pleased.

Unexpectedly, this seemed to have caused a major disaster. Zhou Jinrui called to warn him, demanding the return of the sheet music in the name of the family. Zhi Xiuwen didn't want to completely offend the Zhou family, so he agreed to return it.

"The way Qiqi has been looking at me this week is so strange... and so is their Uncle Wu... Could it be that something happened to Zhou Lin?"

Just as Zhi Xiuwen was thinking this, his phone vibrated.

Upon seeing that it was his own mother calling, he quickly went outside the classroom to answer the phone.

"...You've really got some nerve! I told you to curry favor with others, and you actually tricked Zhou Lin into stealing the manuscript! Zhou Mian has already crippled Zhou Lin's core battle acumen! How are you going to make amends for this!"

The news of Zhou Lin's dismissal came from Zhi Xiuwen's biological mother.

Zhi Xiuwen was astonished: "Zhou Lin has been crippled in the core sea?!"

This... this will make them enemies!

Zhi Xi on the other end of the phone said, "You young people are so reckless. How could you possibly produce this Red Rank score so easily? I've already told you to be careful. Zhou Lin is stupid, but the rest of the Zhou family are ruthless and clever. Come out now, and I'll take you to the Zhou family to apologize!"

Just as the next class was about to begin, the Zhi family's guards appeared outside the classroom door.

Zhi Xiuwen, his face grim, followed the guards out of the academy. His followers, bewildered, whispered among themselves, speculating about what had happened.

It didn't take more than a few minutes.

Qin Ye was called out of the classroom, but he returned quickly.

When he returned, Qin Ye glanced at Zhou Qiqi a few times, already knowing about the major events that had occurred in the Zhou family that day.

Qin Ye hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not walk over.

Zhou Qiqi turned to Uncle Wu and asked, "Uncle Wu, such a big thing happened at home, should I go back too?"

A family member was crippled by the family head and forced to fight at the core of the sea.

This would be a big deal in any family.

Uncle Wu shook his head: "The master and the others didn't ask you to go back, they definitely don't want to affect you."

Zhou Qiqi didn't waste any more words and got everything ready for class.

The Holy War Academy is just like a university.

Today there were only morning classes, so Zhou Qiqi was able to leave the academy around noon. After class, Zhou Qiqi was too lazy to go to the Zhou family's old house, so she went back to the big villa where she lived with her brother.

The Zhou family now has many high-ranking warriors.

After handing over his shift to a skilled bodyguard, Uncle Wu quickly returned to the Zhou family's old residence.

At this moment, the Zhou family's old house was very quiet and as usual.

Uncle Wu had just returned when he saw the Zhi family leaving.

The matriarch of the Zhi family, Zhi Xi, and her second son had finished their visit to the Zhou family and were leaving the Zhou family in a large entourage.

Uncle Wu walked into the hall and saw Zhou Mian with a gloomy face and Old Master Zhou.

Zhou Mian did not speak, but an uncharacteristic, barely suppressed rage appeared in his usually calm eyes.

Grandpa Zhou slammed his hand on the table.

boom!

"The Zhi family really knows how to insult people!"
