Chapter 64: Mother's Identity

  "Huh, you love wearing purple clothes so much?" Zhou Heng asked with some curiosity.

  What's wrong with this?!

  Lin Fengxiang gritted her teeth and had an urge to pounce on Zhou Heng and bite him.

  "I really have a preference for purple!" The woman in purple clothes did not take offense, but nodded and revealed a faint smile.

  Adulterer and adulteress! Adulterer and adulteress!

  Lin Fengxiang cursed in her heart and pouted her small mouth, increasing her vigilance.

  "My surname is Ruan, my name is Jia Ying. Because I prefer the color purple, I am also known as Ruan Ziyi." The woman in purple clothes revealed her identity for the first time and gestured to Zhou Heng and the others to sit down. "This time, I came to visit you without an appointment, it's still about old business, I hope Master Zhou can conduct a spiritual body test again!"

  "Why?" Zhou Heng's heart skipped a beat, "You can't think that I'm really the master of Tianbao Pavilion, right?"

  "Perhaps!" Ruan Jiaying said with a hint of a smile, "Please try again, Master Zhou!"

  Zhou Heng didn't believe that Tian Bao Ge would go to such great lengths just to find the so-called master. If you think about it, who would still be looking for another master when they already have control over wealth and power that can rival a country?

  It's better to say there's some ulterior motive behind it than to believe that such a good person really exists in this world!

  Last time was Hei Jian's initiative to go crazy, and he didn't even give him a chance to stop. But now it's different, he reached the realm of gathering spirits, and his control over Hei Jian has also been greatly enhanced.

  "Then let's give it a try!" Zhou Heng agreed.

  Since Tianbao Pavilion has come to the door, if he doesn't agree, will the other party give up easily? It's better to openly agree than wait for them to make a move in secret.

  Ruan Jiaying revealed a satisfied smile, beckoned with her hand, and a maid immediately walked over with a tray, on which was a foot-long crystal column, transparent and crystalline, divided into three sections.

  "If it's damaged again, don't bother compensating for it?" Zhou Heng asked first.

  Ruan Jiaying couldn't help but smile wryly and said, "No need to compensate!"

  "Then I can rest assured!" Zhou Heng stretched out his hand and grabbed the Ling crystal pillar, a familiar feeling rushed over him. When he arrived at the Dan Tian position, he forcibly suppressed the Black Sword, but the two bloodline powers automatically reacted and rushed towards the Ling crystal pillar.

  Hum, the crystal pillar first flashed a golden light, illuminating the lowest section of the crystal pillar. The golden light faded and turned into a purple glow, like a raging fire, also only illuminating the lowest layer of the crystal pillar.

  The two lights continued to change until Zhou Heng let go of his hand, and only then did they fade away.

  "Fire and Gold, the power of dual bloodlines... are all three-starred spiritual bodies!" Ruan Jiaying muttered to herself, her expression more disappointed than shocked, because this scene that she had been expecting was far from what she had imagined.

  "Could it be that I was wrong last time?" she said to herself in her heart.

  "Sorry to trouble you, Master Zhou!" Ruan Jiaying forced a smile, and it was clear that her face was filled with desolation.

  This woman is extremely cunning!

  Zhou Heng secretly thought to himself, this woman was far from being as disappointed as she seemed, but rather intentionally showed a pitiful and weak attitude to soften his heart! It turned out that not only had she not given up, but she also made him doubt himself!

  I really want to spank her!

  Zhou Heng was very displeased, he hated the feeling of being stared at in secret, unfortunately, he didn't have the qualifications to call out Tianbao Pavilion yet, this idea could only be thought about for now.

  Lin Fengxiang saw Zhou Heng's expression, as a veteran, she naturally knew what Zhou Heng wanted to do, and couldn't help but feel annoyed, thinking that this little wolf was indeed interested in Ruan Jiayin.

  "Miss Ruan, if there's nothing else, we'll take our leave first!" Lin Fengxiang said politely to Ruan Jiayun, but the distant meaning was clear even to a fool.

  "Please!" Ruan Jiaying looked at Lin Fengxiang with a profound meaning, got up and sent Zhou Heng and the others out.

  "Hmph!" After leaving the door, Lin Xiangxiang glared at Zhou Heng with a hateful gaze and left alone.

  What's going on now?

  Zhou Heng shook his head and returned to his own courtyard, continuing to practice Xunyun Flowing Light Step and Mingyu Skill.

  He didn't have a quiet day, not only did Lin Fengxiang come to disturb him every day, but Ruan Jiaying also asked him to taste tea from time to time, making the disciples in the sect envy him.

  It was two days later when someone arrived at Heishui Temple.

  The Jiuling Sect suddenly produced two geniuses, one of whom had already crossed the Tian Road, and the other was in the midst of a breakthrough. Even the Heishui Temple was shocked by this, and immediately negotiated with the Jiuling Sect to absorb these two individuals into the Heishui Temple.

  Although unwilling, the Jiuling Sect did not have the qualifications to refuse. And for the Jiuling Sect, this was also an opportunity. If Zhou Heng and Jing Tian became accomplished in their cultivation in the future, they would still be people who had emerged from the Jiuling Sect; how could they not cherish old relationships?

  Jing Tian is Lin Jianchen's direct disciple. Although this world respects martial arts, it also emphasizes respecting one's master and the way. Jing Tian would never betray the Jiuling Sect. On the other hand, Zhou Heng is a bit of trouble - this kid is too cunning! He entered the Jiuling Sect only half a year ago and has already reached the Jiling Realm, not giving the sect any chance to cultivate him!

  Zhou Heng didn't worship under any elder, so his relationship with the sect naturally couldn't be too close. Fortunately, this genius seemed to have a special relationship with the young lady, and in the future, he might become the son-in-law of the Jiuling Sect.

  Disciples and sons-in-law can be considered half-sons, so close that they cannot be any closer. Therefore, although the upper and lower levels of the Jiuling Sect were initially somewhat unwilling, once they understood this point, there was no disagreement. They couldn't wait for Zhou Heng and his wife to leave quickly, cultivate the ultimate divine technique, and come back to take charge.

  Zhou Heng considered it for a moment and also accepted the invitation.

  Only by standing at a higher level can he gain more development space. Fengyucheng is too small after all, and there aren't that many masters for him to kill.

  However, before that, he has to go see Dinghai next week.

  Zhou Heng took a ten-day leave and returned to Yuanshi Town. He wanted to have a long talk with his father.

  It can be seen that Zhou Dinghai has a big secret hidden in his heart.

  "Hey, why are you following me?" Zhou Heng turned his head and looked at the beautiful girl beside him.

  "What's it to you if I'm happy?" Lin Fengxiang hummed.

  "Is your butt itching again?" Zhou Heng rolled up his sleeves.

  "Ah——" Lin Fengxiang was so frightened that she quickly covered her buttocks with both hands, this was a public street, if Zhou Heng spanked her here, she would really be ashamed to death.

  Zhou Heng burst out laughing and headed towards Zhou's residence.

  "Forever young!"

  "Forever young!"

  After entering the Zhou family, whether it was the servants or the clansmen, they all respectfully addressed Zhou Heng. This was natural; this young master had even killed Zhou Xianming, who had cultivated his body to the 12th level, so who would dare not show respect?

  Lin Fengxiang's stunning beauty made everyone stare, limited to the original stone town's framework, they had never seen such a high-level extreme beauty. Lin Fengxiang was following Zhou Heng, and they only dared to use their eyes to steal a glance.

  Lin Fengxiang is very satisfied with this, which shows that Lin Xiaojie's charm is big enough!

  Zhou Heng took three steps in two strides and quickly returned to his residence, shouting loudly: "Dad, I'm back!"

  "Heng Er!" Zhou Dinghai also came out upon hearing the noise, and he hugged Zhou Heng tightly, his face filled with excited expressions. When his eyes scanned Lin Fengxiang, he was taken aback for a moment, then revealed a hint of a bewildered smile: "Heng Er, aren't you going to introduce me to your father?"

  "Oh, she insisted on following herself, don't mind her!" Zhou Heng was in a hurry to discuss the matter with Zhou Dinghai and directly ignored Lin Fengxiang.

  "Little... Zhou Heng, don't talk nonsense!" Lin Xiangxiang originally wanted to scold him as a little rascal and a petty ghost, but thinking of Zhou Dinghai beside her, she hastily pressed back and gave Zhou Dinghai a sweet smile. "Uncle Zhou, I'm Lin Xiangxiang, a friend of Zhou Heng's!"

  Zhou Dinghai looked at Lin Fengxiang with a satisfied smile on his face, thinking to himself that his son had good taste. This girl was not only beautiful but also had a noble temperament!

  "Come on, come on, sit down inside first!" He invited Zhou Heng and Lin Fengxiang into the house.

  After sitting down, Zhou Heng told his experiences over the past few months, which made Zhou Dinghai both surprised and delighted. He didn't expect that Zhou Heng would have traversed the Road to Heaven so quickly and become a strong practitioner of the Gathering Spirit Realm.

  This step out, is really farewell to mortal!

  The father and son talked until midnight, Lin Fengxiang kept yawning but stayed by their side, which annoyed Zhou Heng. He thought to himself: "They're having a heart-to-heart talk, what are you doing sticking your nose in?" But Zhou Dinghai was very pleased and looked at his future daughter-in-law with even more favor.

  Finally, Lin Fengxiang was persuaded by Zhou Dinghai to go to the guest room to rest. The only ones left in the room were Zhou Heng and one other person, and the atmosphere had unknowingly turned cold.

  "Heng Er, I know you have questions, don't worry, your father will tell you everything today!" Zhou Dinghai looked at his son in front of him, with a hint of affection in his eyes.

  "Your mother is still alive!"

  "What?!"

  Zhou Heng suddenly jumped up, and Zhou Dinghai's first sentence was so shocking.

  "Don't interrupt, let me tell you from start to finish!" Zhou Dinghai said so, but his eyes showed a hint of confusion, as if he was immersed in the past.

  After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "Your mother was not a native of Yuanshi Town. She escaped here at the age of 13. At that time, I was only 15 years old. Because I saved her from starving for several meals, we became good friends."

  "As we grew up slowly, we came to like each other and got married, had children, and then there was you!"

  "I originally thought our family would live a happy life, but unexpectedly..."

  "Your mother is not an ordinary person, but the little princess of the Zhao family, a prominent aristocratic family in Langyue Imperial Dynasty! In those years, the Zhao family suffered a great calamity and was almost destroyed overnight. The clan members were scattered all over the place, and your mother also escaped to Hansheng Country at that time and eventually arrived in Yuanshi Town."

  "But the Zhao family had a genius named Zhao Duotian, who quickly restored the prestige of the Zhao family and brought it to new heights!"

  "When you were two years old, he found your mother and brought your mother back to the Zhao family!"

  "He is your uncle!"
