CHAPTER 783: CHAPTER 395: MORE TERRIFYING THAN IMAGINED!

Among Zhou Kuangtian’s many disciples, Zhou Yuanshou was the most valued and also the one Zhou Kuangtian cared about the most.

He was indeed impressive; despite being only in his early thirties, he had already made a name for himself on Xiang Island and was referred to as a seed of cultivation.

Although Xiang Island was just a tiny place, its influence covered the entire Southeast Plate.

On the Southeast Plate, there were several countries, and although they couldn’t hold their heads high in front of Dragon Country, they were considered strong nations elsewhere.

Standing out on the Southeast Plate was already incredibly difficult; moreover, Zhou Yuanshou was highly capable and respected by many influential families.

The tabloids often took sneaky photos outside Zhou Yuanshou’s Daoist Temple when they had no other stories.

At any time, you could see luxury cars and beautiful women outside Zhou Yuanshou’s Daoist Temple, including some big celebrities.

Though a cultivator, Zhou Yuanshou was famous in the elite circles as a playboy.

"Yuanshou, you have been bothering with me because of my bad mood recently."

Zheng Yaxin forced a smile, her facial expression very unpleasant.

Recently, the head of her family fell ill, causing internal strife. Several uncles were clamoring for the family division, and although her father temporarily held the reins, the responsibility for handling various issues fell on her shoulders.

In the Zheng Clan, everyone enjoyed the right to profit, but the actual work was done by only a few specified by the head of the family.

Although Zheng Yaxin was the biggest beneficiary, she shouldn’t have been so fatigued, yet she was a very responsible girl.

Some time ago, she deceived an elixir from a master on the mainland.

After obtaining the elixir, Zheng Yaxin never intended to pay.

Although the Zheng Clan could afford the cost, it was an astronomical sum for Zheng Yaxin, entirely out of her reach.

Even if she asked for it under the guise of treating the head of the family, the clan might not give it to her.

From beginning to end, Zheng Yaxin never told outsiders about this matter, and when asked about the origin of the elixir, she always said she discovered it by chance.

Initially, some doubted Zheng Yaxin, but over time, they stopped inquiring and assumed she was just lucky, secretly resenting not seizing the opportunity themselves.

"You’ve been too stressed recently. I asked my master for a few bottles of elixir that can beautify, detoxify, and promote health. Use them as needed."

Zhou Yuanshou said softly, his face full of tenderness.

Hearing this, a warm flow surged through Zheng Yaxin’s heart.

The young man before her, whether in status or ability, outshone her. Most importantly, he was devoted to her, always helping no matter what she said.

With such a husband, she shouldn’t have any further desires.

But everyone has their worries. Zheng Yaxin was still somewhat anxious.

Zhou Yuanshou was excellent; she worried that accepting his pursuit might show her incompetence.

At that moment, a man in a Zhongshan suit walked over slowly, his thick lenses revealing an anxious look.

"Mr. Gao."

Seeing the man in the Zhongshan suit, Zheng Yaxin was slightly startled but then smiled lightly.

Zhou Yuanshou nodded slightly, to show respect.

The man before them, Mr. Gao, although not well-known, had extraordinary cultivation.

In a city full of cultivators like Xiang Island, average practitioners had no status and were mostly like ordinary workers, needing to sell themselves.

However, among them, a few geniuses gradually stood out, becoming masters through their exceptional talent.

Mr. Gao was one of them.

As one of the few top experts on Xiang Island, Mr. Gao was renowned even across the Southeast Plate.

Other cultivators would be very cautious, fearing to offend Mr. Gao, but Zhou Yuanshou had reasons to be proud.

He was Zhou Kuangtian’s disciple, and at just 30, his cultivation rivaled Mr. Gao’s.

With the Celestial Gate now open, everyone’s cultivation was progressing rapidly, and with another ten years, he might surpass Mr. Gao.

In fact, if not for Zheng Yaxin being present, Zhou Yuanshou wouldn’t have even bothered to nod in greeting.

Zhou Yuanshou’s politeness was only to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor and impress Zheng Yaxin.

Mr. Gao glanced coldly at Zhou Yuanshou without speaking, then looked directly at Zheng Yaxin.

"Miss Zheng, the matter you asked me to investigate has results."

"Based on my latest investigation, this Lin Beichen person is likely a big problem."

Mr. Gao said solemnly, his gaze unprecedentedly serious.

"Of course I know he’s a big problem; otherwise, why would I hire you? Your investigation fees are so high; why would I have you investigate an ordinary person?"

Zheng Yaxin said excitedly, a hint of panic in her eyes.

After returning to Xiang Island, she often had nightmares, fearing debt collectors from the mainland.

Therefore, after a period of torment, she decided to hire someone to investigate the mainland.
