After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 143

Chapter 143: Another Fat Sheep
“Little girl, um, do you want some candy?” Zheng Yu stuttered as he approached Zhouzhou, struggling to get out these words.

After saying that, his face turned red in an instant. What kind of words did he just say?

But Zhouzhou ignored him and stared in the direction where Ye Lingfeng had left, then suddenly asked, “Where are Sharp Tongue Uncle and Stinky Little Brother going?”

“Ah? They are…” Zheng Yu’s voice abruptly stopped halfway through his sentence. He realized he couldn’t say it and quickly changed his words, “They are just going out to buy something.”

Of course, that wasn’t the truth. In fact, they were going on a newly assigned mission to capture an internationally wanted criminal. But all their missions were top secret and couldn’t be revealed to anyone.

Seeing that she couldn’t get any information from him, Zhouzhou turned to Qin Lie, hesitating to speak.

Seeing that she had something to say, Qin Lie calmly patted the dust off his hands, picked up the little girl, and walked inside. Even after Zheng Yu called them several times, they didn’t stop.

He couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed. Yesterday, she still called him “Light Bulb Brother,” but today she ignored him?

The little girl had changed so quickly.

It wasn’t that Zhouzhou was fickle, but she had more important things to attend to now.

They arrived at the study, and Qin Lie finally put Zhouzhou down and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Facing him, Zhouzhou honestly said, “Dad, I sensed a deathly aura in Sharp Tongue Uncle’s car. It seems like they’ve encountered a life-threatening situation.”

Although she had seen from their appearance before that they had encountered many life-threatening situations, not all life-threatening situations were the same. The smaller ones could be overcome with caution.

But this time was different. The deathly aura emanating from them was very heavy, indicating a major crisis.

However, Light Bulb Brother refused to tell her where they were going, so she could only tell her dad.

After hearing what she said, Qin Lie furrowed his brows as well.

He quickly stood up and said, “I’ll find out where they went. Don’t worry, they’ll be fine.”

“Okay.” Zhouzhou nodded. Although she was still mad at them for bullying her dad, it didn’t mean she wanted Sharp Tongue Uncle and Stinky Little Brother to be in danger.

She just didn’t know if there was still time.

Just as she was thinking about it, Mu Xuan suddenly knocked on the door and walked in, saying, “Zhouzhou, Senior Martial Uncle Tang is awake.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou shifted some of her attention, feeling a bit surprised. She quickly walked to the bedroom and saw Tang Qing sitting up. She called out, “Senior Martial Uncle Tang.”

“You two…” He had just said two words when both of them immediately backed away. Tang Qing quickly covered his mouth, it smelled so bad.

His face turned red, thinking it was his bad breath from not brushing his teeth for a long time, he awkwardly covered his mouth and said, “Can I brush my teeth first?”

“Of course, of course.” Zhouzhou immediately took out a new toothbrush for him and covered her nose as she quickly ran out, “Senior Martial Uncle Tang, you can take a shower too. Don’t talk until you finish showering, and don’t respond to me either!”

It was just too, too, too smelly.

The ancestral medicine worked, but the smell was unbearable.

Upon hearing this, Tang Qing was about to say “okay,” but immediately closed his mouth.

Half an hour later, Tang Qing walked out of the room, the smell on his body completely washed away.

He stared at Mu Xuan and Zhouzhou for a while, recalling what they had just called him, and asked, “Are you disciples of Yuanming?”

“Yes, Senior Martial Uncle Tang,” Mu Xuan answered.

Upon hearing this, Tang Qing relaxed his brows, stroked his beard, and looked at them approvingly, “Not bad, not bad.”

Then, his gaze fell on Zhouzhou.

Especially this little girl.

She had extraordinary talent, clear eyes, and a spirited look about her.

He never expected that his unreliable junior disciple would actually train such remarkable disciples.

Zhouzhou also looked at him, blinked her eyes, and asked, “Senior Martial Uncle Tang, how did you faint?”

When it came to this matter, Tang Qing furrowed his brows. Sitting on the sofa, he said, “Some time ago, I went to a place to dispel evil spirits, but unexpectedly, the malevolent aura rebounded and I was injured.”

It was the malevolent aura from a thousand years ago, she knew.

Zhouzhou nodded, not paying much attention to this matter. She immediately changed the topic and asked eagerly, “Senior Martial Uncle Tang, can you recommend me to participate in the Mystery Sect Conference? I want to become that Big Fool’s grandfather, not his grandson.”

What grandfather and grandson? Tang Qing was a bit confused and looked at Mu Xuan.

Mu Xuan then explained how they went to buy medicine for Tang Qing’s treatment but were rejected by Cen Zhiyuan. He also mentioned their encounter at the Ninth Bureau and briefly described their current situation.

Finally, he said, “Well, at first, I was ready to give up because I thought that even with so many capable people at the Ninth Bureau, there was nothing we could do. But then Zhouzhou said she wanted to try and never give up. She thought of various ways, gathered medicinal herbs, and stayed up late every night drawing talismans. She almost turned herself into a little baldy again.”

As he spoke, he calmly touched Zhouzhou’s thick hair. Even though he was blatantly telling lies, his eyes showed no signs of avoidance. He looked at her with a face full of concern, and Zhouzhou said, “It’s okay, for Senior Martial Uncle Tang’s sake, even if I become bald, it doesn’t matter.”

Hearing this, Tang Qing was deeply moved and, thinking about what they had just discussed, became a little angry. He snorted heavily.

“This Cen Zhiyuan, I knew he had been eyeing my position all along. Humph, he wants to use this opportunity to kill me and take my place. He wishes!”

“Zhouzhou, I’ll write a recommendation letter for you to participate in the Mystery Sect Conference. When the time comes, I’ll also give you a few treasures to ensure that you will win first place in the conference. Let those people from Baiyun Temple know that we Sanqing Temple aren’t vegetarian!”

But Sanqing Temple is a vegetarian sect to begin with.

But it didn’t matter.

Zhouzhou and Mu Xuan exchanged a glance, immediately stood up, and bowed to Tang Qing, saying in unison, “Thank you, Senior Martial Uncle Tang!”

Their voices were loud, as if they were afraid that if they thanked him a moment too late, he would change his mind.

Ancestral Master watched this scene and couldn’t help but shake his head.

It would be a waste if these two didn’t become swindlers. They were such promising talents.

But now, with a new fat sheep in tow, his own coffin could be slightly preserved.

Glancing at Tang Qing, who had no idea he had become a big target for revenge, Ancestral Master suddenly felt happy.

Finally, they caught more than just him.

It wasn’t easy for an old man like him, after all.

Tang Qing also asked about the situation at Sanqing Temple for a while, and Zhouzhou answered one by one, shifting her attention away.

In the study upstairs, Qin Lie’s phone rang. He looked at the message on it and immediately went to Zhouzhou’s room and took her compass.

However, he didn’t know how to use it.

Just as he was thinking about it, a figure suddenly floated out of the statue. Ancestral Master looked at him curiously and asked, “What are you doing with the compass?”

Seeing him, Qin Lie’s frown eased, “Ancestral Master, can you do me a favor?”

Upon hearing this, Ancestral Master raised an eyebrow. Just as he was about to make some demands, Qin Lie took the initiative and said, “I’ll donate one billion to you.”

Ancestral Master: “…”

The one billion that was about to come to his mouth was swallowed, and he cleared his throat, “Deal.”

He finally understood why Zhouzhou liked Qin Lie so much. He was giving her way too much!

The man and the ghost quietly went downstairs without alarming Zhouzhou, who was still talking, and left with light footsteps.

Two hours later, guided by the talisman activated by Ancestral Master, Qin Lie arrived at a run-down village.

As soon as he arrived, a sharp sound of wooden barn doors being opened sounded in his ears.

Qin Lie’s brow furrowed even tighter.

Meanwhile, not far away, Chen Tuo supported Ye Lingfeng as they hid behind a wall. Seeing his increasingly pale complexion, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of despair.

They never expected that the information would be wrong.

What they were facing today was not just one fugitive, but a group of people.

Now they only had one bullet left, and their leader had been injured while protecting him.

As the footsteps drew closer, he gritted his teeth and his eyes flashed with determination.

Even if he had to die, he would make sure his boss survived.

He tightened his grip on the wooden barn door and was about to rush out when someone suddenly grabbed his shoulder.

He was startled and turned his head sharply to look.

Who was it?
