Supreme Martial Arts: Unlock Boundless Power!

Chapter 50

After seeing off Cheng Jiahui, Zhou Yi quickly asked, "Father, is elder brother really going to marry the daughter of the Cheng family?"

Zhou Quanming turned his head and looked at him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. He said, "Why, are you interested? Should I talk to the Cheng family and see if they would accept you as a replacement for Yitian? I doubt they wouldn't object."

Indeed, although Zhou Yitian was the eldest  grandson of the Zhou family, the one who was currently in the spotlight was Zhou Yi, who had sent Xu Yucai flying with a single palm strike. At this moment, everyone outside had high expectations for this fourteen-year-old cultivator at the peak of the seventh level of inner energy. Some even boldly asserted that he would undoubtedly become the top martial artist in Tai Cang County in the next century.

If the Zhou family were to make such a request, the Cheng family would certainly be delighted to accept it.

Zhou Yi shivered involuntarily and forced a bitter smile. "Father, don't tease me. My goal is the pinnacle of martial arts. Before that, I will never consider such matters."

Zhou Quanming nodded slightly and said, "That's the right attitude. With your talent, your future is limitless. So, it's best not to be burdened by family affairs too early." He sighed lightly and continued, "Your uncle was the same in the past. He was single-mindedly pursuing martial arts. But his status was different. As the eldest son of the Zhou family, he had to shoulder corresponding responsibilities. Otherwise, he might have broken through to the peak of the ninth level long ago and become a ten-level inner energy cultivator like grandpa."

The two brothers exchanged a glance and observed a moment

Zhou Quanming waved his hand and said, "I had intended to have you stay a few more days, but since this incident has occurred, we must immediately report it to the patriarch. Pack your things, we will return home tomorrow. As for Yilong, let them, mother and daughter, reunite for a few more days."

Zhou Yi and Zhou Yixuan's faces flashed with a hint of disappointment. It was difficult enough for the whole family to be reunited, and now they had to be separated again ahead of schedule.

If they had some curiosity about Cheng Jiahui's proposal earlier, now they felt a sense of complain. However, no one dared to oppose their father. They exchanged a glance, expressing their helplessness.

Just as the father and sons had entered the inner hall without mentioning this matter to Lin Wenyu, two estate stewards rushed in like the wind.

Zhou Quanming furrowed his brows and angrily reprimanded, "What is going on here? This is not a place for you to come..." He suddenly stopped mid-sentence, as he noticed that one of the two individuals was disheveled and dressed differently from the household servants present.

Of course, the most significant point was that he recognized this person as a steward from his own family.

The household manager wiped the sweat from his forehead and anxiously said, "Second Master, the Old Patriarch has urgently summoned me. It's an extremely urgent matter. Please take Young Master Three and Young Master Six and return immediately."

The faces of Zhou Quanming and his sons simultaneously changed. The phrase "extremely urgent" indicated that something significant had happened within the family, prompting the use of such a secret code to communicate.

They exchanged a glance, each seeing the cold determination in the others' eyes. Even Zhou Yi, who was usually composed, couldn't help but feel a chill running through his body.

The tragic incident at the Cheng residence was still fresh in their minds, and the culprit had yet to be found. Yet, at this very moment, an urgent summons of such magnitude was issued by their own family. Even the stupid person would connect the dots.
