After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 966

Chapter 966: Ancestral Master is Discovered
Whether or not she’s the boss, Zhouzhou knew she wasn’t the kind of person to be the leader.

She was the one who’d go running back and forth with just a phone call!

Thinking of this, Zhouzhou couldn’t help but cast a resentful look at Ancestral Master.

Ancestral Master, seeing that his trick wouldn’t work, let out a “tsk,” clearly realizing the little girl had grown up. She wasn’t as easy to fool as she had been when she first came down the mountain.

Back then, she’d be happy with just a penny.

Now that she had money, she wouldn’t be fooled so easily. Sigh.

But it was okay, he still had his ultimate trump card.

With a mysterious smile, Ancestral Master said, “I want to restore my golden body, and who is it for? Isn’t it to change your poor fate? So, you’re not working for me, you’re working for yourself!”

Upon hearing this, Heavenly Thunder shot him a sideways glance, the look in his eyes full of disdain.

What a shameless person, twisting words! Restoring his golden body was his own wish.

Only Zhouzhou, with her greedy nature, always wanting to become a rich little girl, could be easily manipulated by him. Otherwise, no matter how much he said, she wouldn’t even listen.

Sure enough, when Zhouzhou heard this, she immediately got tricked. She let out a long “Oh,” as if she suddenly understood everything, nodding vigorously.

“Mm!”

Exactly! That’s how it is!

Ancestral Master nodded in satisfaction. “That’s the spirit.”

He continued, “Alright, I’m going to do some work now, and it’s all for you.”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou immediately said, “Thank you, Ancestral Master! I’ll work for you in the future! Let’s work hard together!”

“Good!” Ancestral Master looked at her approvingly, adding, “Zhouzhou, you’re starting to look like a college student now.”

Upon hearing this, the little illiterate’s eyes immediately lit up. “Really? Like a college student?”

Ancestral Master smiled without speaking, his gaze falling on her bright eyes.

Soon, he floated off toward Alva’s laboratory.

Zhouzhou, with her chubby little hands on her round chin, asked Lu Shi, “Uncle Lu, do you think I look like a college student?”

Her question caught Lu Shi off guard. He looked at her in confusion, not quite understanding what she meant.

Jing Bai also stared at her, curious to know whom she had been speaking to just now.

Zhouzhou relayed the conversation she had with Ancestral Master, then excitedly said, “Ancestral Master said I look like a college student!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Shi understood.

Seeing the little girl’s happy expression, his gaze couldn’t help but linger on her eyes.

Indeed, fools are the happiest.

It was better not to tell her the real reason, so he shifted his gaze, unable to look at her for too long.

Just as Zhouzhou was about to say something, the communication talisman in her hand suddenly lit up.

It was her father!

She quickly opened it and heard Ye Lingfeng’s voice.

He said, “Zhouzhou, there’s a Bluetooth signal jammer in the laboratory. Tell Lu Shi to dismantle it. It’s located at…”

He gave her a location, one she recognized from when she passed by earlier.

Lu Shi was skilled with machinery, so this task would be a piece of cake for him.

Even though they had the communication talisman, it wasn’t as convenient as using Bluetooth for direct conversation.

Zhouzhou nodded eagerly, realizing that her father couldn’t see her, so she said, “Got it, Dad!”

Then she turned to Lu Shi. “Uncle Lu, we have work to do!”

Lu Shi also noticed the talisman in her hand and was curious about its mechanism.

To him, it seemed like a few lines drawn on paper—how could that allow communication? It was fascinating.

Jing Bai’s gaze, too, fell on the talisman.

He couldn’t help but want to dissect the little girl to understand how she worked.

Zhouzhou immediately sensed the dangerous look in his eyes. Her fortune hair stood on end as she became wary, quickly running to hide behind Lu Shi.

Lu Shi, noticing her cautiousness, protectively stood in front of her and cast a cold glance at Jing Bai.

“Let’s go,” he said, looking down at Zhouzhou.

Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, eager to finish their task so they could leave. They still needed to take care of Alva, and she wondered how Ancestral Master was doing.

At this moment, Ancestral Master had floated to the door of Alva’s room. Using his ethereal form, he easily slipped inside.

However, the next moment, his relaxed expression vanished.

Once again, a shrill alarm blared, this time directed at Ancestral Master.

Ancestral Master’s eyes widened in disbelief. How could they have detected him?

Alva, standing in the lab, grinned. “Found you.”

His eyes were cold and menacing. Even though his gaze wasn’t directly on Ancestral Master, the latter could sense that the general direction was accurate.

He scanned the area, and his eyes landed on a device, a needle-like pointer, aimed directly at him.

That thing looked similar to their Compass.

But what was Ancestral Master? How dare it compare itself to their Compass?

Ancestral Master waved his sleeve, and the pointer immediately fell to the ground. At the same time, Alva’s expression darkened, and he raised his hand to press a button.

Ancestral Master’s eyelids twitched. He quickly floated away, running as fast as he could.

His life was the most important!

He had originally intended to find Zhouzhou, but suddenly his steps faltered, and he turned in the opposite direction.

Alva, however, took out a backup energy detector, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

He had been researching souls, but this was the first time he encountered such a strong energy signal.

As he looked at the screen showing a rough image of Ancestral Master, his excitement grew. He immediately grabbed the device and began chasing after him.

He would not let him escape!

Alva followed him all the way to a door. When he reached it, he looked at the direction of the pointer, grinning and kicking the door open.

Inside, a man in a white lab coat turned to face the noise.

Seeing Alva, he was surprised. “Dr. Alva?”

“Jonas?” Alva stared at him, narrowing his eyes. “How come it’s you?”

His gaze shifted, and a dangerous glint appeared in his eyes.

Jonas was puzzled. “This is my office. What do you mean?”

His question made no sense.

Alva, however, continued to stare at him, his eyes narrowing further. He then turned his gaze to one spot and his expression became even more dangerous.

“You’re researching souls behind my back?”

Jonas’ heart skipped a beat.

He had indeed been doing so. All research results had to be submitted to the lab, but he had his own selfish motives.

After all, who didn’t want to be famous?

So, he wanted to research the soul of the deceased before Alva did, hoping to become the world-renowned scientist.

But he couldn’t let Alva find out until it was successful.

Alva, despising anyone surpassing him, considered himself the best in the world.

Looking into Alva’s eyes, Jonas froze. Just as he was about to explain, Alva pulled out a gun and fired.

The loud gunshot echoed, and everyone in the lab turned to look.

Zhouzhou and Lu Shi, just about to leave to deal with the signal jammer, heard the noise and froze.

“Crap, Ancestral Master!”
