In the middle of the night, Zhou Zheng did not go to bed, but sat by the window, quietly looking at the bright moon outside the window.

"What are you thinking?" said Old Ancestor's voice in his head.

"This morning. Zhou Zheng replied in a low voice.

"It's really worth thinking about. ”

Zhou Zheng vaguely heard the lewd temperament in the ancestor's tone, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"I mean, what the eldest lady of the Shangguan family said today seems to have other deep meanings. ”

"For example?"

"I don't know. Zhou Zheng shook his head helplessly. "I mentioned that the Zhou family doesn't have a deep friendship with the Shangguan family, but she seems to know something, and I just feel this way. ”

"Do you know what the six major families are responsible for?"

Zhou Zheng shook his head slightly.

"Among the six major families of the Great Yan Dynasty, the Fu family is a family of alchemists, the Ye family is a sect on the rivers and lakes, the Su family is a scholarly family, the Pang family is in charge of the treasury, the Zhou family is the first force to guard the Great Yan Dynasty, and the Shangguan family is in charge of the book of life and death. ”

"Book of Life and Death?" Zhou Zheng looked puzzled. "What is the Book of Life and Death?"

"To put it simply, half a year ago, Zhou Hong designed to frame the hairy boy of the Chen family and pressed the charge of the shadowless killer on him. Later, the boy of the Chen family was escorted to the imperial city, and he was handed over to the Shangguan family for interrogation and conviction. ”

In other words, the Shangguan family was responsible for conducting interrogations, tracking down criminals in the Great Yan Dynasty and arresting them. ”

"Then the Shangguan family is in the imperial city?"

"It's not. Only the family of the current patriarch is eligible to live in the imperial city, so it is not surprising that there is only the Pang family in the imperial city now. For the teacher, Shangguan's family is located in Huaiyue Villa. ”

"Huaiyue Villa?" Zhou Zheng listened, only to feel that his thoughts became more and more confused.

"You kid, there's still a long way to go. Compared to Yunzhou City, this place is farther away from the Imperial City. ”

"I always thought that only our Zhou family was isolated, so it turned out that Huaiyue Villa was farther away from the imperial city?"

"The Shangguan family has mastered the book of life and death, established a border guard, and is responsible for arresting dangerous criminals who are on the run, these are the basic introductions of the Shangguan family. ”

"Hearing this, I feel that the Zhou family has no contact with the Shangguan family anymore. ”

"It's hard to say. The ancestor raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously hiding something and not saying it yet.

"Master. Zhou Zheng sat upright, his eyes exuding curiosity.

"Please, I can smell grandpa's deeds. ”

"It's good that your kid has such a smart nose when he practices!" Old Ancestor snorted in disgust.

"Zhou Yan made a marriage contract with the daughter of the Shangguan family, but it was later annulled. ”

"Oh?" Zhou Zheng not only didn't hear anything about his grandfather Zhou Yan in the Zhou Mansion since he was a child, but he didn't even know about his grandmother's information at all.

"The Shangguan family... Lady is my grandmother?"

"It's not. The Ancestor quickly denied it. "Anyway, if you go back in time, the Zhou family does have some connections with the Shangguan family. ”

"Why was the engagement ruined in the end?"

"I don't know about this, because I didn't know Zhou Yan very well at that time. Old Ancestor shook his head slightly.

"So, master, when did you meet grandpa?"

"It's almost an adult, the year he participated in the Hero Martial Arts Conference at the age of sixteen, it was an official meeting between the two of us. ”

"Grandpa lost?"

"Lost. There was a hint of excitement in Old Ancestor's words.

"It can't be that the master has played some small tricks, right?"

"What the hell are you kid... How many times has the teacher told you that I was upright and defeated Zhou Yan with my own hands! What is there to question!"

"Master, aren't you a Xuan-rank powerhouse?" Zhou Zheng suddenly smiled slyly. "You told me that my grandfather was a Heavenly Rank powerhouse back then. ”

"What do you know!" Old Ancestor roared angrily, and the two were just about to argue, but there was a brief knock on the door.

"Who?"

"It's me. I don't know if it's late at night, Nangong Yunmeng's voice is extremely gentle at this moment.

Zhou Zheng opened the door and saw that under the background of the moonlight, Nangong Yunmeng's eyes seemed to be more agile than before. His eyes were full of affection, and Zhou Zheng didn't remember when the two habitually looked into each other's eyes in their daily conversations.

At first, Zhou Zheng would still feel embarrassed and uncomfortable, but as the world of getting along with him became longer, Zhou Zheng gradually got used to it, and even sometimes inadvertently stepped forward and talked to Nangong Yunmeng in a low voice.

"Come in, what's wrong?"

"I can't sleep. Nangong Yunmeng's face was slightly sad, and he sat by the window with Zhou Zheng.

The moonlight shone into the room, and part of it was reflected on Nangong Yunmeng's face.

Zhou Zheng suddenly had an urge to come forward.

"Is it because of today's conflict?"

"There is a part, but the main thing is the junior martial arts tournament the day after tomorrow. ”

"What's there to be afraid of?" Zhou Zheng smiled.

"I'm not as talented as you, not as strong as you, even though I'm trying. Nangong Yunmeng lowered her head aggrievedly.

"Coupled with today's conflict, I feel that the day after tomorrow I am most likely the one who accompanies me. ”

"Don't worry too much. Zhou Zheng reached out and gently pinched Nangong Yunmeng's face.

"Isn't there still me? ”

"That Shangguan Yun... ”

"What's wrong?" Zhou Zheng nodded.

"She seems to know you, do you feel that way?"

"No, right?" Zhou Zheng reached out and touched his lips. "I don't want to be speechless. ”

"But you see the tone she spoke to that attendant to-day was very different from the tone she spoke to you. ”

"It's too much to think about, but it's just because I'm also the main family of the five major families of the Great Yan Dynasty, and she looks up to me and gives me a face. Zhou Zheng shrugged helplessly. "If I run into her the day after tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't want to kill me directly. ”

"You have to be careful. Nangong Yunmeng suddenly leaned forward and said in a low voice.

"Don't worry!" Zhou Zheng patted his chest.

After sending Nangong Yunmeng back to the room, Zhou Zheng gradually felt sleepy, so he lay down on the bed.

"You're going to sleep now?" Old Ancestor's voice came from his head again.

"If you don't sleep, what can you do?" Zhou Zheng turned over in disgust.

"Then if the teacher tells you that you are in danger now, will you still sleep?"

"What?" Zhou Zheng sat up in a daze. "What danger?"

"The girl of the Shangguan family is outside now. Old Ancestor said calmly.

"What!" Zhou Zheng jumped up directly from the bed.

Zhou Zheng hurriedly turned on the Foehn Duel and used his soul power to probe the situation outside.

To Zhou Zheng's surprise, he didn't perceive the special situation outside at all.

This means that Shangguan Yun's soul power level is far stronger than his own.

"Oops, I can't feel her. Zhou Zheng leaned over to the window in distress, hid aside, and used his afterglow to secretly observe the situation outside.

"Don't look at it, come out right now. ”

A familiar female voice came from Zhou Zheng's mind.

"Wind Soul Possession?" Zhou Zheng suddenly remembered that Yan'er also had this ability, which meant that Shangguan Yun's soul power level was at least above the Yellow Rank!

"So you can't get out?" Shangguan Yun's voice came slowly, and Zhou Zheng couldn't help but get nervous.
