After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 585

Chapter 585: Let’s Fight
Upon hearing this explanation, a glint of amusement flickered in Ye Lingfeng’s eyes. Considering the modus operandi of the Ancestral Master, well, such a thing was not entirely improbable.

Zhouzhou glanced at him and winked, nudging him with her eyes. “Isn’t that right, Dad? You think so too, don’t you?”

Brother Dafu said it: middlemen are all like this. Before he could speak, the Ancestral Master floated out, his face as grim as the bottom of a pot, gripping the disobedient disciple’s vital organ with clenched teeth. “Who are you accusing of embezzlement?”

Zhouzhou hastily protected her precious hair, trying to please him. “It was me, I embezzled.”

With a disdainful snort, the Ancestral Master released his grip and cast a sideways glance at her. “You naughty girl, little troublemaker, am I the type of person to do such things?”

Zhouzhou swiftly hid behind Ye Lingfeng, peeking out from behind his leg, pouting unhappily.

“Ancestral Master is exactly that kind of person! Don’t think I don’t know. You told Heaven Thunder before that all the merits I earned were given to it. In reality, you two secretly agreed to split them evenly!”

At these words, the Ancestral Master was startled. “How did you know?”

Realizing he had exposed himself, he quickly covered his mouth, his eyes darting around, unable to figure out what had happened. It shouldn’t be possible. She was asleep when they were talking.

At this moment, the evil spirit popped out its head, eager to take credit. “I told Little Celestial Master!”

As long as Little Celestial Master needed him, he was her most useful spy!

So it was this kid!

The Ancestral Master’s expression darkened, gritting his teeth. “You’re quite proud, aren’t you?” His tone was fraught with danger.

Even if the evil spirit was slow to react, he sensed that something was amiss and immediately retreated into the Soul Nourishing Talisman, his voice emanating from within: “I belong to Little Celestial Master. Ancestral Master, you can’t bully me!”

Everyone had their backers, huh? Sooner or later, they would drive him to madness! He was old, why wouldn’t they let him at ease?

Seeing the suspicious look in the little girl’s eyes, he argued cunningly, “You’ve worked hard for these merits. Of course, you shouldn’t just give them away to Heaven Thunder. Keeping some for yourself is only fair.”

“Besides, when I regain my golden body, it will be a simple matter for me to help you with your financial troubles. This is for your own good, to ensure you become a wealthy woman as soon as possible.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up. It seemed reasonable, didn’t it? Watching as his daughter was almost swayed by a few words, Ye Lingfeng’s gaze swept towards the Ancestral Master, narrowing warningly. “Before she turns eighteen, you’re not allowed to push Zhouzhou into missions.”

Upon hearing this, the Ancestral Master stomped his feet. “Do you think I’m that kind of person?”

“Since you care about her, shouldn’t I care too? She’s a member of my Sanqing Temple. How could I stand by and watch her do dangerous things?”

That was true. Zhouzhou nodded her little head, soothingly patting the Ancestral Master’s thigh. “Ancestral Master, don’t be angry. I believe you.”

That was more like it. The Ancestral Master’s anger dissipated in an instant. With a slight hum, he said, “Consider yourself conscientious.”

Casting a glance at the nearby little gold mine, recalling Zhouzhou’s words, he sneered, “Rest assured, although I desire merits, I have my limits. The merits you give to your father and uncle, I won’t touch.”

After all, the two of them played a crucial role in Hua Country. He wouldn’t harm them no matter how black-hearted he was.

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou’s eyes curved with delight as she hugged his leg, coquettishly saying, “I knew Ancestral Master is the best!”

Finishing her words, she didn’t forget to flatter him further. “I’ll definitely work hard to earn merits in the future, to help Ancestral Master regain his golden body and make our Ancestral Master at Sanqing Temple the most dazzling person! Everyone who sees you will have to praise you.”

Thinking of that scene, even the Ancestral Master couldn’t help but smile. Seeing that she had appeased him, Zhouzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

Phew, why was the Ancestral Master acting like a child?

After pacifying him, Zhouzhou took his hand and said, “Then Ancestral Master, help me exchange the merits first.”

With a grunt, the Ancestral Master, still remembering her earlier disbelief, didn’t say anything but helped her.

The gold mine instantly disappeared, turning into a small golden light, no bigger than a fingernail.

Looking at this speck of gold, Zhouzhou encouraged herself. She must work hard to earn money, to support her two fathers, her uncle, her grandmother, her grandfather…

She counted her fingers for a long time, even including her toes, but still hadn’t finished counting, sighing deeply.

Ah, she really had it tough.

Ye Lingfeng chuckled as he watched her. The little one was so young, yet she carried the burden of providing for her family. He tried to convince her to let it go, but she refused.

He pinched her ponytail, feeling very pleased.

With the gold mine gone, the place suddenly felt much more spacious.

The other contestants also boarded the plane.

The final selected individuals were: leaders of the Dragon, Tiger, Lion, and Wolf groups, with Wan Leng and Chen Tuo from the Dragon group also making the cut.

They were already the strongest group, and with Zhouzhou and Cui Kun from Wealthy group, the remaining two were members from the Tiger and Lion groups respectively.

When Zhouzhou saw Cui Kun, her eyes lit up, and she ran over. “Uncle Cui.”

Cui Kun was the person Zhao Xinghua recruited from the army. Originally, he was the most likely candidate to become the leader of the Leopard group.

Unexpectedly, Zhouzhou emerged out of nowhere and he ended up becoming a member of her Wealthy group.

However, even so, he harbored no resentment towards Zhouzhou. On the contrary, he liked her very much.

But he was naturally cold and expressionless, giving off an aloof aura.

Zhouzhou didn’t mind, feeling close to him in her heart, feeling that he was a bit like her Uncle Xi Mo.

She hugged his arm excitedly. “Uncle Cui, when we get there, I’ll introduce you to my uncle. You two will definitely get along well.”

“Your uncle?” Cui Kun looked at her in confusion, not knowing who her uncle was.

Zhouzhou proudly lifted her chubby double chin. “My uncle’s name is Xi Mo. I think your fighting styles are very similar, so you’ll definitely hit it off.”

At these words, surprise flashed in Cui Kun’s eyes. Coming out of the army, he naturally knew Xi Mo’s name, their Military King.

With strength comparable to Ye Lingfeng, the War God, he was also someone he greatly admired.

But he didn’t expect Zhouzhou to be his niece.

The others also looked over when they heard this.

Zhouzhou’s information was classified. Except for a few members of the Dragon group and those close to Ye Lingfeng, others only knew that Ye Lingfeng was her father and didn’t know about her other relatives.

More importantly, Ye Lingfeng and Xi Mo were archenemies. They had no inkling that the two of them knew each other.

Ma Hao’s eyes rolled around, smiling as he said, “Zhouzhou, do you know how to quickly improve your strength?”

“Hmm?” Zhouzhou was intrigued by his words, turning her little head curiously to ask.

“It’s by fighting with a strong opponent,” Ma Hao said with a smile, even more cunning than Luo Jin, but his honest and simple appearance concealed his cunning thoughts perfectly.

He sincerely suggested, “For example, your uncle is especially powerful. If you spar with him more, you’ll definitely improve quickly.”

Unaware of his ulterior motive, Zhouzhou vigorously nodded her little head. “Dad and Uncle Zhao also said the same thing!”

As she spoke, the little girl was excited and expectant.

Seeing her like this, the others chuckled softly but didn’t say anything.

What was there to remind her about? They had finally found Xi Mo’s nemesis. They must make good use of it. Let’s see how Xi Mo can bear to make a move this time!
