CHAPTER 1172: CHAPTER 1172: ZHOU YU’S PLAN

Gong Family Manor.

At this moment, Zhou Yu had no idea that the Pavilion Master of the prestigious Dragon Country Martial Pavilion had actually killed four King Realm experts for his sake.

Nor did he know how much his status had risen in the heart of the Dragon Country Martial Pavilion Master.

At this time, he had just learned from Gong Shiqiang about the Ancient Spirit Land and the four Spirit Disks.

He remained silent, seemingly contemplating something.

The Gong family members, seeing this, did not disturb him.

After a long while, Zhou Yu suddenly lifted his head and looked at Gong Ke.

Gong Ke was just about to ask something when he saw Zhou Yu unexpectedly take out the Yellow Heavenly Spirit Disc and directly throw it to him.

Gong Ke was startled, but he reacted quickly and caught the Yellow Heavenly Spirit Disc.

"Mr. Zhou, what are you doing?"

Gong Ke asked with a face full of confusion.

The other members of the Gong family were also bewildered.

What was Zhou Yu planning to do?

Only to hear Zhou Yu say calmly:

"Since the Yellow Heavenly Spirit Disc belongs to your Gong family, I’ll return it to you."

"Mr. Zhou..."

Gong Ke’s expression changed, and he quickly explained:

"Our Gong family sincerely gave it to you."

"We only wish for the Gong family to get through this crisis, and nothing more."

After all, the Yellow Heavenly Spirit Disc involves great significance. Having painstakingly given it to Zhou Yu in public, if word got out that it had returned to the Gong family...

Then the Gong family would face annihilation.

However, Zhou Yu simply waved his hand and said casually:

"Go ahead and keep it with ease."

"After all, everyone now knows that the Yellow Heavenly Spirit Disc is in my hands."

"As long as I don’t say anything, no one outside will know..."

Saying this, Zhou Yu gave Gong Ke a deep look, with a mysterious smile on his face.

"But, aren’t you interested in the Ancient Spirit Land..."

Gong Ke was still puzzled, feeling uneasy.

Zhou Yu smiled faintly.

"I am."

"Of course, I am."

"Isn’t there still a fourth Spirit Disk that hasn’t appeared yet?"

"I’m going to look for it, maybe I’ll find it."

Gong Ke finally understood Zhou Yu’s meaning.

Zhou Yu was going to look for the last Spirit Disk.

But!

This item has no leads so far, where would Zhou Yu go to find it?

Gong Ke was very puzzled.

But Zhou Yu did not wish to explain more.

He stood up and said to Gong Ke and his father:

"Thank you both for your hospitality, I have other matters to attend to, I’ll take my leave first."

Then, he glanced at Jiang Xin and Uncle Wang.

"Let’s go."

Afterwards, he left with Jiang Xin and Uncle Wang.

After Zhou Yu and the others left, Gong Ke said with a puzzled look:

"Father, Zhou Yu actually returned the Spirit Disc to us."

"This way, we can secretly maneuver a bit."

"We might even get a share of the Ancient Spirit Land."

Gong Shiqiang heard this and shook his head.

"Son, you are overthinking."

"This matter, it’s not as good as you think."

Gong Ke was taken aback.

"Why?"

Gong Shiqiang sighed.

"By giving the Yellow Heavenly Spirit Disc back to us, it means he’s bringing us onto his ship."

"Moreover, he’s testing our family with this move."

"He doesn’t fully trust us."

Hearing this, Gong Ke pondered for a moment, then took a deep breath and asked:

"Father, what do you think we should do next?"

Gong Shiqiang said solemnly:

"Zhou Yu, this child, has limitless potential. Now that he is in charge of the Martial Pavilion, the power dynamics in Hu City are bound to undergo significant changes."

"As they say, troubled times produce heroes."

"This could potentially not be a bad thing for our Gong family."

"However, during this process, we must establish a sufficiently strong relationship with Zhou Yu."

Gong Shiqiang’s words clearly indicated his decision to fully side with Zhou Yu.

On one hand, it was due to the prophecy from the Bagua Gate expert years ago.

On the other hand, it was also because of Zhou Yu’s displayed talent.

Upon hearing this, Gong Ke nodded solemnly.

"Father, understood."

...

After leaving the Gong family, Jiang Xin felt a sense of injustice for Zhou Yu.

"Zhou Yu, the Yellow Heavenly Spirit Disc was something you risked your life for, why did you return it to them?"

In Jiang Xin’s view, as long as Zhou Yu brought the item back to Wu Ge Headquarters, in the entire Hu City, who would dare to steal from the Wu Ge Headquarters?

In this way, Zhou Yu would essentially control one-tenth of the Ancient Spirit Land, which is an immeasurably enormous resource.

However, Zhou Yu chuckled.

"I have my reasons for doing this."

"The words of the Gong family cannot be fully trusted, so I must make them stand on my side to facilitate future interactions with them."

"If I let them throw away the Yellow Heavenly Spirit Disc’s trouble, they could remain unharmed and neutral, which is not advantageous for me."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xin immediately understood.

She stared at Zhou Yu and said:

"I didn’t realize you had such depth of strategy."

Zhou Yu chuckled.

"Desperation teaches you."

Finishing his words, Zhou Yu prepared to leave and return to the Martial Pavilion.

However, he was stopped by Jiang Xin.

"Don’t be in such a hurry to go back."

"Come to my house for a visit later."

"My father said he urgently needs to see you."

"Uncle Jiang is looking for me?" Zhou Yu was taken aback, but then he nodded.

"Alright, I’ll go and see."

Soon, the three returned to the Jiang family.

Jiang Dongcheng, seeing Zhou Yu return safely, also breathed a sigh of relief, then invited Zhou Yu to sit down.

After some brief exchanges, Zhou Yu asked directly:

"Uncle Jiang, what’s the matter you wanted to see me about?"

Jiang Dongcheng didn’t beat around the bush and said directly.

"Zhou Yu, while you were at the Gong family, several major incidents occurred in Hu City, almost all related to you..."
