If Heaven hadn't given birth to me, I would be arrogant.

How could he possibly tell his mother about these things that worried him? He had no way of telling her, and he couldn't even explain it to her.

Therefore, Zongze had no choice but to avoid his mother's numerous hints and inquiries.

His only hope now is that the Sirius Gang's revenge will come soon. Once he can successfully resolve the Sirius Gang's troubles, he will immediately lead the Tribunal Knights to the Outer Continent of Holy Word.

He has his own plans. If he can safely overcome the tribulation in the future, he will choose to be with the woman he loves.

Anyway, Yuxi is a complete descendant of the Korean ethnicity and has a long enough lifespan to wait!

Of course, the prerequisite is that Yu Xi is willing to wait. If Yu Xi is not willing to wait, he will still wish her well, even though Yu Xi can be said to be the only woman who has truly moved Zong Ze's heart in his two lifetimes.

As for Hanli, Zong could only apologize. He had feelings for Hanli, but the thorn in his heart caused by being poisoned to death years ago, the thorn that he didn't want to touch on royal affairs, made him keep his distance from Hanli.

However, just because Zongze didn't say anything didn't mean Yu Rou couldn't guess. Yu Rou knew her son all too well, and she was also known for her intelligence.

Therefore, Yu Rou was afraid. He was pressuring his son, seemingly forcing him to get married, but in reality, he was trying to force out what was inside his son. She understood that something was threatening her son, making him afraid to start a family.

However, Yu Rou failed. She made Zong Ze kneel for the entire day, using both soft and hard words, but Zong Ze didn't say a word. When pressed, he just shook his head.

"Hey!"

Yu Rou sighed softly. Her son had been kneeling for a whole day. How could she, as his mother, not feel sorry for him? Just as she was about to tell Zong Ze to stand up and go back, she discovered that Zong Ze had actually stood up on his own.

"You came?"

Zong Ze stood up because he could feel a powerful aura pressing down on him. This aura was very strong, at least at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Yu Rou and Yu Hua stared wide-eyed, because they actually saw a person suddenly appear in the small bamboo grove by the courtyard.

This person appeared so naturally, as if he had always been standing by the bamboo grove, but Yu Rou knew that there was no such person in her own courtyard.

"Not bad, you knew I was coming?"

The man spoke, and for some reason, both Yu Rou and Yu Hua felt that his tone was so peaceful and kind, as if simply listening to him speak was a pleasure.

"I know!"

Zong Ze nodded, the first time he had nodded all day: "It's been a year. I've waited for you for a year!"

"I know!"

The man suddenly smiled, and as he smiled, Yu Rou and Yu Hua simultaneously noticed that the moment he smiled, all the bamboo in the bamboo forest behind him blossomed instantly!

"I've been here for a while now and I've seen about your mother forcing you to get married. Hmm, I must say you're very self-aware. This is exactly what I found out when I was inquiring about things on the mainland. You're a smart person!"

Hearing the man say that, Zongze laughed, but his laugh was somewhat bitter: "You don't necessarily know everything, otherwise you wouldn't have made me wait for you for such a long time. You didn't spend a year investigating me, did you?"

"Oh?"

The man laughed again, and this time, the grass on the ground in the bamboo forest actually began to bloom with tiny flowers: "I take back what I just said. It seems that you are not only smart, but also very self-righteous. However, I actually like your personality!"

"You think you like it too?"

Zong asked the question casually.

"Ok!"

The man nodded seriously and said, "Perhaps you are the most outstanding talent I have ever met on the Holy Word Continent. If it weren't for that incident, I would be happy to be your guide. What the Sky Wolf Gang lacks is someone who is both smart and self-righteous!"

"I believe it's possible that there's a lack of intelligent people!"

Zong Ze extended an index finger and gently shook it twice: "But if you say there are few self-righteous people, I can't agree. At the very least, the guy who died at my hands was extremely self-righteous!"

At the same time, I must say, you are also incredibly arrogant and self-righteous. Do you really think you can completely control me all by yourself? Spying on me for so long, as if it were just watching a play?

"Hmm, not bad, I like you more and more!"

The man was not angered by Zong Ze's words and said seriously, "It's such a pity. It seems that both Karu and Cole are complete idiots. How could they not see such a talented person as you?"

"Me? Outstanding? Talented?"

Zong Ze couldn't help but shake his head. He realized that he had made a mistake. The man in front of him was not only self-righteous but also extremely arrogant. He had been standing there rambling on for a long time, as if he were not the man who killed his son at all.

However, Zong Ze felt much more at ease. It turned out that Cole's father was not a powerful expert, but a peak Transformation expert. This made things much easier for Zong Ze!

"Indeed, you are truly a talent. Even in the outer continents of Holy Word, it is rare to see someone as talented as you!"

The man nodded and said, "First of all, the Holy Word Continent restricts the advancement of strength, but under such circumstances you can still advance to the peak of Martial Venerable strength, that's one point!"

Secondly, although you are only at the peak of Martial Venerable strength, you are capable of killing Cole, who is at the Divine Sect Realm. No matter what methods you used, it demonstrates your ability. As long as you can kill your opponent, why talk about the methods? That's the second point!

Third, knowing we would come looking for you, you didn't cleverly choose to run away, but instead had the courage to speak frankly with me. That courage alone is enough to earn your respect!

"Wow!"

Zong Ze covered his mouth, looking incredulous: "I didn't know I was this good! I'm a little embarrassed by your praise!"

"Oh, what a pity!"

The man interrupted Zong Ze's exaggerated expression: "It's a pity you killed Cole. This revenge must be taken, so you must die. But I think it's necessary to suggest something: Zong Xiaozhang is your grandfather, right?"

"What did you do to him?"

Upon hearing the man mention his grandfather's name, Zongze, who had been nonchalant, suddenly turned serious. His father was gone, and he would never allow anyone to harm his grandfather again!
