After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 410

Chapter 410: Run! Hurry, Run!
Watching her depart, the smile faded from Zhao Xinghua’s face. He turned to the others and solemnly declared, “Today’s events must not be leaked.”

“Yes,” the others agreed without dissent, having already inferred his thoughts.

They cared little about who would be the captain, as long as the person’s strength surpassed theirs. Here, only fists were recognized.

However, someone inquired, “Director Zhao, what about the members of the Leopard team? They’ve never fought Zhouzhou before. Even if the leaders of the Tiger, Lion, and Wolf teams came, it’s doubtful they could defeat her. What should we do?”

Zhao Xinghua already had a list in mind. He counted off ten names and said, “Prepare yourselves. In three days, there will be a battle royal to determine the top four. They will become members of the Leopard team.”

These were the strongest individuals present, aside from Zhouzhou. This rule was fair, and the others nodded in agreement.

After everyone dispersed, Qi Hua maintained his composure and asked, “Director Zhao, are there any tasks lately? I’m free at the moment, so I could take care of them.”

He had to run. Otherwise, his legs would surely be broken by Ye Lingfeng. As the captain of the Tiger team, he knew that once all the members of the Leopard team were selected, they would have to meet with members of other teams.

By then, they wouldn’t be able to keep Zhouzhou’s appointment as captain of the Leopard team a secret.

Therefore, he had to escape before Ye Lingfeng broke his legs. As for Director Zhao’s plan, it was his own idea, so he would bear the responsibility alone.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xinghua sneered, “Don’t even think about running until this matter is resolved.”

“Director Zhao…” Qi Hua’s expression turned grim.

But Zhao Xinghua didn’t even spare him a glance and walked away. Jokingly, how could he bear it alone? The more people involved, the lighter the burden.

At this moment, Ye Lingfeng was unaware that his daughter had been tricked into leaving and was currently training in the training room.

When he came out, he saw a group of people limping over, each holding their knees. He couldn’t help but wonder, “What happened?”

Seeing him, the group suddenly stiffened and quickly shook their heads, mumbling, “Nothing, just got into a fight and lost.”

Ye Lingfeng glanced at them. Since when did people specifically target knees in fights? What nonsense.

But on the island, sparring was common, so he didn’t pay much attention, simply waving them off and returning to his quarters.

Zhouzhou should be awake by now. In fact, not only was she awake, but she had also done something significant.

As soon as he entered the room, the Ancestral Master appeared, smiling at the sight of a sack full of gold.

Seeing him, Zhouzhou’s eyes immediately flashed with wariness. She tightly hugged the sack to her chest and said, “Ancestral Master, I earned this!”

“I know, but you still owe me for the merits you borrowed before An Ya reincarnated.”

Zhouzhou remembered this and was no longer stingy. “Then, Ancestral Master, you can take it all.”

The Ancestral Master glanced at her, raised an eyebrow, and thought she was quite generous to her family. After a brief look, he handed her the smallest piece and took the rest.

Instantly, her arm gained a golden glow. Satisfied, he nodded and remembered something else, saying seriously, “Zhouzhou, I think that person’s suggestion is worth considering. If you join, you can earn merits like your father’s.”

Those were all the country-protecting golden lights, the strongest of all merits. If she could obtain them, it would undoubtedly accelerate his recovery of golden light.

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou’s ears twitched. She didn’t resist much but said, “Dad doesn’t want me to join.”

Indeed, that was a problem. Although there were many merits, the Ancestral Master could see that they were all obtained at the cost of life.

Watching the little kid, who was barely taller than an onion, the Ancestral Master fell silent for a moment, then waved his hand and said, “Never mind, I just said it casually. Let’s just capture some spirits and do some good deeds. Those are merits too.”

“Okay,” Zhouzhou nodded, but she remembered his words.

So, she could also earn the country-protecting golden lights? Lost in thought, she heard a tiger’s roar outside. Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up, and she hurriedly ran out, only to see Wangcai carrying a sheep in its mouth, throwing it to Chen Tuo, indicating for him to cook it.

Seeing this, Chen Tuo couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth and poked its forehead, “Wangcai, you’re a tiger. Why do you want me to cook it?”

But Wangcai didn’t care. It let out a low growl at him, looking fierce.

This time, King didn’t say anything. After all, he also preferred his food cooked. Leaving aside everything else, the taste was indeed superior. His silly son had achieved its goal by catching food by itself.

At that moment, Wangcai relaxed, basking in the sun outside. Suddenly, it heard something and turned its head to look inside.

Zhouzhou came running down the stairs and rushed to Wangcai, hugging it tightly. “Wangcai, where have you been these days? I missed you so much.”

Since she brought her to her father after coming to the island, Wangcai had disappeared.

Hearing this, Wangcai nudged her head with its own, letting out a low growl at King, its eyes filled with grievances.

It wasn’t its fault. Its dad took it to exercise as soon as they arrived. It hadn’t had time to play with her these days. It missed her too.

But Zhouzhou didn’t understand its meaning. She smiled and patted its head affectionately, saying, “Wangcai, do you miss your dad? From now on, I’ll bring you home often. How about staying this time?”

She didn’t want to be separated from her father for too long either. Wangcai surely thought the same.

Unexpectedly, Wangcai exploded at her words, firmly refusing with its claws tightly hugging Zhouzhou, full of resistance.

It didn’t want to! King glanced at it, then looked away indifferently, emitting a light snort from his nostrils. Who cares?

Seeing its reaction, Zhouzhou finally understood. “Okay, we’ll stay together then.”

Wangcai let out a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. It was terrified. It was better to follow Zhouzhou and be fed!

When Ye Lingfeng came in, this was the scene he saw. He couldn’t help but chuckle softly, his eyes filled with warmth.

Zhouzhou also spotted him immediately and ran over with her short legs. “Dad!”

“Okay,” Ye Lingfeng said, patting her head. “Let Wangcai stay with you. It can keep you company. But before that, it still needs proper training.”

With that, he looked at King. “King, Wangcai will be in your care during this time. Train it well for me.”

Hearing this, King stood up and let out a low growl in agreement. But Wangcai was completely dumbfounded. It didn’t even react when King approached it.

It wasn’t until it got a hard kick on its butt that it let out a growl and ran away, its paws pounding the ground.

Help! King chased after it, slowing down when it did, ready to train all that fat off its body!

Listening to Wangcai’s cries, Zhouzhou grimaced sympathetically. Wangcai’s dad was so fierce. Her dad was much better!
