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."
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!
