After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 1150

Chapter 1150: The Human Trafficker Zhouzhou
He vaguely thought he had misheard and turned to look at the butler, frowning deeply. “Hm?”

The butler snapped out of his daze, wiped his face, and didn’t know how to respond. After a moment, he said, “Master Yin, would you like to go and take a look yourself?”

Sensing something was off, Yin Hua put down his chess piece. “Let’s go see.”

He was sure he had misheard.

Shuo had been taught by him personally; as long as he practiced diligently, he was sure to inherit his legacy one day. How could he be crying?

Could it be that he was crying tears of joy?

Zhouzhou, too, was confused. She looked at Yin Shuo, who was sobbing uncontrollably, and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you okay? Why are you crying?”

“I spared you from having to compete in the third round. I’m being so considerate, and yet you seem so upset?”

By the end, Zhouzhou herself felt a little aggrieved.

Yin Shuo muttered, “Well, thank you.”

Zhouzhou replied cheerfully, “You’re welcome! We’re just honest people who are considerate like that!”

Yin Shuo: “…”

Who told her this was ‘considerate’?

He had never met someone fiercer than her!

Now he was crying even harder.

His dignity had been broken, utterly shattered!

Despite always being modest on the outside, he had some pride deep down. He thought he was impressive, but never expected to lose so thoroughly today.

The formation he had carefully set up was easily broken by the girl without even batting an eye.

On the other hand, when she casually used a few stones to create a formation, he couldn’t even escape.

His entire world view was crumbling. He began to wonder if he had been a frog in a well, thinking he was great all these years.

But wait, he had traveled with his grandfather. He had seen the world, right?

He couldn’t help but voice his doubts.

Zhouzhou casually replied, “Maybe they were letting you win.”

Otherwise, she couldn’t understand how someone like him could have remained “number one” for so long.

She patted his shoulder, saying, “It’s okay. Just try harder in the future. Maybe one day you can reach one-tenth of my level.”

Yin Shuo: “…”

Is this why he had no friends? He used to say similar things to others.

Back then, he never understood why people got angry after hearing his words. Now, he finally got it.

She was killing him slowly!

Now, he was crying even harder.

When Yin Hua arrived, the scene that greeted him made his eyebrows furrow. He glared at Zhouzhou.

Zhouzhou immediately sensed the intense gaze and turned her head to meet it. Their eyes locked, and Yin Hua narrowed his eyes in response.

Ancestral Master whispered into Zhouzhou’s mind: “Don’t let him find out who your master is.”

Zhouzhou nodded slightly. She wasn’t foolish.

However, just then, Yin Hua stared at her and said, “Zhouzhou?”

Zhouzhou: “!”

How did he know her name?

It seemed as if he had seen through her thoughts. Yin Hua sneered and said, “Li Yuanming has been bragging to me about how he has a brilliant disciple. He even showed me your photo. Didn’t you know?”

Before Zhouzhou could respond, they suddenly heard a familiar voice from outside the wall: “Yin Hua, come out! My disciple is amazing! She’s way better than your grandson!”

Zhouzhou: “…”

Ancestral Master: “…”

That troublemaker!

Not long after, the butler brought Li Yuanming in, and his face was not looking good.

Who could blame him? Anyone in this situation wouldn’t look too happy.

Zhouzhou wasn’t looking too pleased either.

She had a bad feeling about this. It seemed like things were about to go south.

Li Yuanming, however, was in a good mood. He saw Zhouzhou and was a little surprised. “Zhouzhou, what are you doing here?”

He quickly walked over, pulling Zhouzhou in front of Yin Hua and said proudly, “This is my disciple! She’s way better than you, old man. No wonder my master told me to stay away from you.”

Yin Hua immediately clenched his fists.

Zhouzhou’s mouth twitched, and she leaned in to whisper to Li Yuanming, “Master, be quiet for a moment. I need Master Yin’s help with something.”

Li Yuanming glanced at her, then smirked and said, “What can he do for you? He’s no better than me. Whatever it is, let me handle it!”

Zhouzhou glanced at Yin Hua, who had an utterly displeased expression, and sighed helplessly, “I need him to help me with catching spirits.”

Li Yuanming fell silent instantly.

Yin Hua scoffed, folding his arms as he looked at Li Yuanming. “I thought you were the one claiming you were capable? Why don’t you step up?”

Li Yuanming was now feeling defiant. He straightened his neck and said, “I can’t do it, but my disciple can!”

He then turned to Zhouzhou and asked curiously, “Zhouzhou, aren’t you better at catching spirits than this old man? Why are you asking him for help?”

Zhouzhou answered honestly, “My grandfather said if I don’t know how to work with a team, I would be exhausted to death doing it alone.”

Li Yuanming didn’t understand business, but Zhouzhou’s grandfather always spoke the truth.

He hesitated for a moment, wondering if he had caused trouble for his little disciple.

But after all, she had come to Yin Hua.

Li Yuanming frowned, obviously not happy about it.

Yin Hua was even less pleased. He glanced at Zhouzhou coldly, sneering, “You can leave now. Don’t ever come back. I won’t go.”

He had already been against this matter, and now that he knew Zhouzhou was Li Yuanming’s disciple, he felt even more disgusted.

With a cold expression, he turned to leave without looking back.

Zhouzhou wanted to chase after him but saw he was still angry, so she gave up.

She glanced at Yin Shuo and thought of a plan.

“Would you like to visit our Sanqing Temple? I can teach you how to draw talismans and break formations.”

Upon hearing this, Yin Shuo’s eyes lit up.

He wasn’t the petty type, and despite losing to Zhouzhou, he didn’t resent her. If anything, he blamed his lack of skill and didn’t hold a grudge against her.

Now, he was intrigued.

But…

“My grandfather might not approve.”

Zhouzhou looked at him and asked, “Are you an adult?”

Confused, Yin Shuo nodded. “Of course. I will be twenty-three this year.”

“Then that’s fine,” Zhouzhou said confidently. “You’re an adult now; you can make your own decisions. Or are you a ‘grandfather’s boy,’ still needing to listen to him for everything?”

“Grandfather’s boy?” The term sounded strange and unpleasant to Yin Shuo.

He immediately shook his head in denial.

Zhouzhou added, “Then just tell me if you want to come.”

“Yes,” Yin Shuo said.

“Great, then come with us. You’ll be in charge of your own decisions, and besides, getting stronger will bring honor to your grandfather too.”

That made sense to Yin Shuo. He was easily persuaded.

Zhouzhou pressed on: “When you come, we’ll provide food and lodging. I can teach you whatever you want. Want to know why my talismans are so powerful?”

“Yes!” Yin Shuo nodded eagerly.

Zhouzhou continued, “I’ll tell you. It’s because…”

As she spoke, she walked ahead, and Yin Shuo subconsciously followed. He didn’t even notice when they got in the car.

It wasn’t until they arrived at Sanqing Temple that he suddenly realized. He turned to Zhouzhou, feeling bewildered.

She looked like a human trafficker!
