When Zhou Xuan heard what Zhang Xiao said, he couldn't help but frown. He knew that something that Zhang Xiao's father and the lord of Guxuan City had pointed out must be no small matter.
"Is this related to the Zhou family?"
Zhou Xuan had a vague guess and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, I asked my father a few questions. It is true that something happened to the Zhou family. Rumor has it that the Zhou family was divided internally. Zhou Taishan attracted outsiders to jointly deal with the Zhou family, which forced the ancestors of the Zhou family to end their seclusion and go out to meet the enemy. However, it is still difficult to win, and now they are in a stalemate, but..."
Zhang Xiao found it difficult to speak, and finally sighed helplessly.
"However, the ancestors of the Zhou family are old, otherwise they would not have been in seclusion for many years. Facing the attacks of foreign enemies, even if they can barely resist one or two, they will still be difficult to defeat. My father said that within a few days, the Zhou family will definitely be defeated. If it is breached by a foreign enemy, it is still unclear whether that enemy will take action against other forces."
"There is such a thing..."
Zhou Xuan frowned completely. Just from Zhang Xiao's words, he could clearly feel how serious the problems faced by the Zhou family were. It even alarmed Zhou, who he had never met a few times. The ancestors of the family can see how powerful outsiders are.
Zhou Xuan originally wanted to ask why the other families in Guxuan City and the city lord's palace were sitting idly by, but in the end, he did not ask directly and fell silent.
He is not a fool and naturally understands the reason.
The four major families in Guxuan City have been competing against each other for many years, maintaining a delicate balance. However, the four major families must have long wanted to annex other families and turn them into their own strength, but they are struggling to find them. Just an opportunity.
now.
The Zhou family was divided.
The third elder, Zhou Taishan, was so bold that he directly wanted to destroy the entire Zhou family and take it for himself. This directly gave the other three major families a chance to sit back and watch the fight between tigers. They all wanted to see the Zhou family destroyed, so what? Maybe help?
Seeing such a situation, the City Lord's Mansion found it inconvenient to take action.
Zhou Taishan knows the strength of the Zhou family best, and he still attracted strong support, forcing the ancestors of the Zhou family to fight, and most of them would not be able to win. This can prove how powerful the newcomers are, even if the city lord's palace does not Grasp the response.
Under such circumstances, it is naturally best for Mingzhe to protect himself.
Zhou Xuan's heart fluctuated for a while, and then he quickly calmed down. He no longer had too many special feelings for the Zhou family, so naturally he would not act out of anger, but was only worried about two of them.
"Brother Zhang, I have been back for so long and I have never asked you how Zhou Liming and his daughter are doing?"
Zhou Xuan doesn't think much about the Zhou family, except that he will not forget the fifth elder Zhou Liming and Zhou Liming's daughter Zhou Lanqing. He was targeted by the Zhou family at first. Among the senior figures, only Zhou Liming was willing to protect him, and so was his daughter Zhou Lanqing. For his own sake, he would not hesitate to directly quarrel with the Zhou family, which was incompatible with each other.
When Zhou Xuan just returned to Qin State, he was a little worried about Zhou Liming and his daughter, but it was not convenient to ask. He secretly guessed that these father and daughter were members of the Zhou family after all. They were probably still living in the Zhou family, so he wanted to find time to go back. have a look.
now.
Zhou Xuan learned about the dramatic changes in the Zhou family and couldn't help but worry.
Zhang Xiao naturally understood what Zhou Xuan meant and nodded lightly: "You don't have to worry. After you left, I was worried that the Zhou family would be harmful to their father and daughter. Therefore, although Zhou Lanqing did not successfully enter the five major martial arts houses of Qin Dynasty, she was influenced by me. Under the protection of the City Lord’s Mansion, I will naturally stay in the City Lord’s Mansion to practice.”
"Although the Zhou family is in danger now, they are not in the Zhou family and will not be greatly affected."
"That's it, thank you."
Zhou Xuan felt relieved and nodded lightly.
Zhang Xiao was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "Brother Tang and I came to visit you specifically to tell you these things. However, we are thinking about your relationship with the Zhou family, so we are not sure whether to tell you. Anyway, it's not a big deal." Meaning, maybe the demise of the Zhou family is good news for you, right?"
"The good news...not that much."
Zhou Xuan was also silent for a moment, and then he showed a smile, slowly shaking his head, his eyes filled with reminiscence.
"The grudge the Zhou family had against me was resolved back then, and they paid a certain price. In any case, the Zhou family is where I grew up, and there is some sense of friendship. Moreover, the Zhou family is not all Evil man, my ancestor and the fifth elder treated me well, but now I have ended up like this..."
Zhou Xuan sighed and did not continue.
He then raised his head, looked at Zhang Xiao, and nodded gently: "Brother Zhang, thank you for bringing back this news. I will go back in the next two days to see how the situation is."
"Are you going to help the Zhou family?"
When Zhang Xiao heard this, he was immediately startled. He never expected that Zhou Xuan, the Zhou family who treated Zhou Xuan like this back then, not only did not add insult to injury, but now he actually wanted to save them.
Zhou Xuan had no such idea and shook his head again.
"You are overthinking. The Zhou family no longer has a special status for me. I am neither sad nor happy when they are destroyed like this, and I will not help. Besides, my strength may not be as good as the ancestors of the Zhou family. In short, I won’t take any risks, but..."
Zhou Xuan's eyes flickered with a hint of emotion.
"Some people in the Zhou family treated me well. Now I'm going back to see if I can save their lives. Besides, the Zhou family is where I grew up after all. Even if it is destroyed, I want to see it with my own eyes."
"I see……"
Only then did Zhang Xiao understand, his expression a little complicated.
He then nodded towards Zhou Xuan: "In that case, I will go back with you to take a look."
"No need."
Zhou Xuan shook his head and refused: "Brother Zhang, your and Brother Tang's cultivation levels are still far away from the middle level of Hedan. Today is mostly a battle between the first level of Hedan. In two days, it will be your battle, and I I don’t know how many more days it will take to go here. If it delays your competition, it will really be more than worth the loss."
"All right……"
Zhang Xiao sighed and had to agree.
He looked at Zhou Xuan with worries in his eyes: "Then I won't go back with you, but my father said that the foreign enemies are cruel. You must be careful when you go back this time. If you want to save some people in the Zhou family, , you can tell your father directly, he knows you, and I believe that he will definitely help you with the city lord's mansion."
"Then I'd like to thank you in advance."
With a smile on his face, Zhou Xuan cupped his hands and thanked him. He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. After all, the City Lord's Mansion could have been alone, but now it was willing to take risks for himself. No matter whether it was useful or not, it at least showed his attitude.
