Chapter 108 I really envy these people who have low tolerance for stress.
Three poles in the sun.
Zhou Zhengying couldn't get out of bed smoothly.
By the time I got up, washed up, and sat in the living room, it was already noon.
Xuan Yizi diligently practiced his boxing techniques, loosened his muscles and bones, and worked his qi to improve.
Liu Zhen sipped his tea: "Your health is good. You really should get married and have children as early as possible."
Ye Keke leaned against the sofa armrest while playing King of Glory, complaining, "This is really bad. I'm still single, while my best friend is already in a state of blissful harmony."
Tang Ying interrupted, "Master Zhou, should I call Xu Fan?"
Zhou Zheng: "Make a call and ask him to come over. I have something to talk to him about."
A short while later, Xiaoxue finished washing up and came out of the bedroom. Ignoring everyone's gaze, she slumped down next to Zhou Zheng and immediately clung to him.
Zhou Zheng smiled and, as she wished, took out his phone to review the disk from last night and continue working on it.
Forty minutes later, Xu Fan arrived, carrying a box of Lulu milk and pure milk.
Zhou Zheng: "? What does that mean?"
Xu Fan said apologetically, "Brother Zhou, I went too far yesterday. You've already helped my brother and me a lot. You have your reasons, and I shouldn't have lost my temper with you. Even if you hadn't called, I would have come over today to apologize properly."
Zhou Zheng glanced sideways at the Six Walnuts Lulu and Mengniu Pure Milk: "Couldn't you have sent something a little more upscale?"
Xu Fan: "...My salary will be deposited into my account next month; this is something I bought with a loan."
Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea and calmly remarked, "From a certain perspective, your sister is truly a menace."
They've ruined what good life could have been like. They've forced King Xu You to live a life of utter poverty.
Xu Fan: "Ahem, she's just recovered and is quite happy, I can understand that."
Zhou Zheng: "You're just spoiling me. Fine, put it over there and sit down to talk."
Xu Fan beamed and sat down eagerly: "I'm glad you're not angry with me, Brother Zhou. I knew you were magnanimous."
Zhou Zheng took out the names and information he had recorded last night and pushed it in front of Xu Fan: "This is the information on the members and families of the Nine Streams Sect that I have compiled. Take a look. Today we are going to wipe out their entire sects one by one. Make preparations."
Xu Fan's face instantly turned green: "Brother Zhou, didn't you say you weren't angry?" I was genuinely angry, but I'd only be angry for a moment and then think of a solution. Brother Zhou, how come you managed to find out their entire family's household registration in just one night?
How come the consequences of you not getting angry are more outrageous than the consequences of me getting angry?
Xu Fan glanced at it twice and couldn't hold back any longer: "Brother Zhou, I'm not against you, I just want to ask, are you even going to kill children?" I don't object to killing members of the Nine Streams Sect; if you're going to do that, you have to be prepared to be killed. But killing children is just too cruel, inhumane, and against the natural order.
Zhou Zheng gestured for him to be quiet: "Originally, I didn't plan to get too involved, but since you've already put the information in front of me, and you're a good person—how can a good person be held at gunpoint? Taking everything into consideration, I've decided to intervene."
I'll accept your good deeds. I'll take the blame for the bad karma caused by this. But I need you to listen attentively and seriously consider whether you can accept it.
First, I'll give you two choices. The first choice is that we start by killing their family members, forever severing their path to reincarnation, so that they can never be reborn as humans and can only be thrown into other realms of reincarnation.
Our second option is to start by killing the ringleaders, and then their families. This will make you feel much better emotionally, but it will cause some of the family members to run around in circles, requiring us to spend more time hunting them down, which is a bit troublesome.
I understand your concerns and feelings. Please calm down first, and I'll explain what will happen next. If you can accept this, I can change my strategy and not kill these family members.
Xu Fan nodded obediently, indicating that he was listening attentively.
Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Can you accept that Xu Xiaoye has fallen into the hands of the Nine Fiends and is being tortured by them to find out your whereabouts?"
Xu Fan jumped up with joy, his body radiating a surge of yin energy, and his eyes reddened with happiness.
Zhou Zheng laughed: "Look how happy you are, kid. Quiet down first, I have something else to say."
Xu Fan forced himself to sit down, suppressing his excitement: "Could there be anything more unacceptable to me than this?"
Zhou Zheng said calmly, "I know you are a kind person, and I also know that you haven't experienced as much as I have, so I understand your tolerance. But I have a question for you that touches the soul."
Xu Fan: "Brother Zhou, what's the problem?"
Zhou Zheng: "When they killed your whole family and murdered your mother, did they consider that you were a child, or that your sister was a child?"
Xu Fan fell silent and sat on the sofa.
Zhou Zheng: "Look, isn't your bottom line too high? Sometimes you think I'm cruel, but have you ever thought that if this matter isn't handled well, won't your enemies be even more cruel to you and Xu Xiaoye? Or do you think that the Nine-Rank Sect, which has already wiped out your whole family, wouldn't do something like torture your sister to death and then search her soul?"
Now you're trying to persuade me, saying, "Brother Zhou, please don't kill their relatives and children anymore. Their relatives and children are innocent."
What about your relatives, the children of your Xu family?
There are six spirits in that villa, five of them evil spirits. What was that child's name again?
Xu Fan was silent for a moment, then said, "Xu Changyun."
Zhou Zheng: "How old is he? Never mind, you don't need to tell me, I don't want to know. I just want to tell you that I understand your kindness, but don't misuse it."
He paused for a moment.
Zhou Zheng added, "I think you're quite capable to maintain your optimistic, energetic, and resilient spirit even after your whole family has been killed."
Xu Fan: "...My mother was a concubine."
Zhou Zheng: "Didn't you consider that there might be something fishy about your mother's death?"
Xu Fan's expression was slightly complicated: "My mom said forget it, and just tell me to live a good life."
Zhou Zheng choked slightly, then chuckled, "So, you still object?"
Pity the parents of the world.
Xu Fan: "I don't object anymore. I will take on the responsibilities I should bear, even if my hands are stained with blood. I am willing to do anything for my sister's safety."
Zhou Zheng: "It's not about sin, it's just the cycle of cause and effect. The Nine Schools wiped out your entire family, with whom you had little affection, so I'll lead you to kill their entire family. It's fair."
So, where do you want to start? Begin by killing the ringleaders, or by killing their family members?
Xu Fan swallowed hard: "Brother Zhou, do I have to choose? Can you choose?"
Zhou Zheng rolled his eyes: "Then I'll choose. I'll start by killing the family members. Hunting down a few people is easier than chasing them all over the place at the end."
Xu Fan thought for a moment, shuddered, then thought of his sister and made up his mind: "Alright, I'll do it!"
Zhou Zheng looked at Xu Fan, then leaned back on the sofa tactically: "To be honest, you people have been living in a peaceful environment for too long. Unlike me, I've been through all sorts of scams, deceptions, and life-or-death battles. I'm even a bit used to these kinds of things."
When the conversation turned to the situation Xu Xiaoye might face, Ye Keke was so frightened that she turned pale and felt nauseous. Xiaoxue was so scared that she shrank to the other side of the sofa. Tang Ying silently spat the coffee in her mouth into the trash can, and Xuan Yizi took out a calming talisman and stuck it on his forehead.
I really envy these people who aren't so resilient; they're nothing like me, who's been through this kind of garbage over and over again.
