Chapter 368: Reconciliation Fails
The next day, early in the morning.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
In the courtyard of the Xia family, there was a knock on the door.
Less.
"Crunch."
As the sound of pushing the door spread, Du Zhong, who had just recovered his strength to the peak, pushed the door out.
"Brother Du."
In front of the door, Xia Ningyu shouted with a smile.
"So early?"
Du Zhong grinned.
"We Xia family disciples have to get up before sunrise to cultivate, and the lazy will be punished."
Xia Ningyu said with a smile.
"It's a big family."
Eucommia opened his mouth in admiration.
Xia Ningyu nodded as expected, and then opened her mouth with a regretful face and said: "Brother Du, in fact, I came to disturb you so early, I came to tell you that our Xia family has already negotiated with the Zhou family, and we have reconciled the grievances between you and the Zhou family, but the result is ......."
"How?"
Du Zhong asked indifferently.
"Nope."
Xia Ningyu shook his head and opened his mouth to say: "The Zhou family, after all, is one of the three major families, and the big family has the dignity and face of the big family, although the reconciliation cannot be achieved, but the head of the Zhou family also agreed, not to raise the grievances between you and the saint daughter of the Zhou family to the height of the family, that is to say, if you want to take your girlfriend away from the unknown land, you must fight with the saint of the Zhou family, and you can only win and not lose." ”
"Yes."
Du Zhong nodded slightly.
He had already thought of this result, so he didn't feel anything wrong in his heart.
"In addition, because you promised not to raise this matter to the level of the family, no matter how you win or lose the duel, the Zhou family will definitely not be angry with you and your relatives."
Xia Ningyu opened her mouth and said.
Hearing this, Du Zhong's eyes lit up.
According to the Zhou family's previous way of doing things, it is almost impossible not to involve relatives and friends, which is also the reason why Du Zhong did not directly kill the Zhou family after entering the unknowable land.
He can ignore it himself.
But his relatives and friends, he must not ignore them.
What happened to Gu Muer must not happen again.
Therefore, Du Zhong agreed to stay in the Xia family, trying to learn more about the Zhou family from the Xia family.
But what he didn't expect was that the Xia family could actually make the Zhou family agree to this.
In this way, he has no worries at all.
No doubt.
The Xia family did him a great favor!
"Brother Xia, thank you."
Du Zhong immediately nodded in thanks.
"As it should be."
Xia Ningyu replied with a smile and asked, "Brother Du, today is the day of the duel, how is your strength recovering?" ”
"Thank you Brother Xia for your concern, this night's recovery is enough!"
Du Zhong opened his mouth.
After all, the density of heaven and earth energy in the Agnostic Earth is too great, and Du Zhong originally wanted to use the Zhu Grass to restore his strength to the peak, but as a result, he found that the recovery speed was several times that of the outside world.
In this case, he not only restored his strength to the peak, but even improved his strength by a little.
It seems that the breakthrough is not far away.
"That's good."
Xia Ningyu nodded with satisfaction.
"It's almost time."
Du Zhong raised his head to look at the sky, and then opened his mouth and said, "Solve it early and go home early." ”
Xia Ningyu was stunned.
"Brother Xia, farewell!"
Du Zhong clenched his fist towards Xia Ningyu.
"You can do it."
Xia Ningyu nodded.
Under the guidance of Xia Ningyu, Du Zhong bid farewell to the Xia family and rushed to the Zhou family in person.
Less than ten minutes.
Du Zhong came to the Zhou family boundary.
From a distance, the Zhou family occupies a mountain range covered with a sea of clouds, and above the mountain range, there is a large area of golden and brilliant buildings, because it is located due west, the morning light shines on the large group of buildings, reflecting the golden rays, which looks extremely majestic.
"Smack!"
Against the light, Du Zhong's body was extremely fast, and he rushed to the gate of the Zhou family in the blink of an eye.
Week!
A huge golden font was carved on a two-person high boulder and stood next to the gate of the Zhou family.
On the door, there is not even a plaque.
Look through the main entrance.
Visible to the eye.
Ahead, like the Xia family, is a huge bluestone field, there are many children of the Zhou family who are cultivating on the field, and on the other side of the field, it is the main hall that is as majestic as the imperial palace.
"Bang ......"
Step in.
Du Zhong suddenly found that the Zhou family on the bluestone field, as if they had received an order, retreated to both sides and stood in neat rows.
Everyone, staring at Du Zhong.
There was not the slightest kindness in everyone's eyes.
"Huh!"
At this moment, a sound of breaking the air came from a distance.
In the blink of an eye, two figures appeared in front of Du Zhong's eyes.
The first to bear the brunt.
It is the white-clothed, cold and proud saintess of the Zhou family.
Standing beside the saintess of the Zhou family was Gu Mu'er.
"Mu'er!"
The moment he saw Gu Mu'er, Du Zhong couldn't help but shout.
"Nerd."
Gu Mu'er also trembled with excitement.
"Humph!"
Seeing this, Zhou Ying'er immediately snorted coldly and opened her mouth to say: "Before the duel, give you a chance to see her for the last time, you will definitely die in this battle!" ”
After listening to the first half of the sentence, Du Zhong's figure flashed, and he rushed directly towards Gu Mu'er.
Over there, Gu Mu'er also ran out immediately.
"Smack!"
In the blink of an eye, the two hugged each other tightly.
How long has it been?
How long has it been since I hugged like this?
This kind of intimate feeling, no one can separate them, finally appeared again.
Holding Du Zhong tightly, Gu Mu'er couldn't help but see a flower in front of her eyes, and a stream of warm tears immediately flowed down like a river that burst the embankment.
"I miss you so much."
Gu Mu'er said in a choked voice.
"Me too."
Du Zhong endured the excitement in his heart, let go of his hands, and stroked Gu Mu'er's face with a look of pity, helping him wipe away all his tears.
"I knew you were coming."
Gu Mu'er burst into tears and smiled, her face full of happiness.
"Yes."
Du Zhong nodded lightly and said softly: "I'm here, I will definitely take you away." ”
"I know."
Gu Mu'er nodded firmly.
"During this time, have you been doing well here, have you been bullied?"
While asking, Du Zhong's face turned cold, and he glanced at everyone present.
"Nope."
Gu Mu'er shook his head and said, "I'm fine here, but I don't have freedom, I just miss you." ”
"Not anymore."
Du Zhong said softly.
"Yes."
Gu Mu'er nodded and asked rhetorically, "What about you, are you doing well, are you hurt?" ”
"Am I standing in front of you now?"
Du Zhong grinned, patted Gu Mu'er's forehead gently, and said, "Okay, you go over first, and I'll take you away and take you home in a while." ”
Go home?
As soon as I heard these two words.
Gu Mu'er was so excited that she burst into tears again.
It wasn't until Du Zhong helped him wipe away his tears that she turned around and walked towards Zhou Ying'er.
"Come on."
As soon as Gu Mu'er left, Du Zhong immediately stared at Zhou Ying'er and opened his mouth to shout.
"You're in such a hurry to find death?"
Zhou Ying'er snorted coldly and opened her mouth to say, "It's not time yet, you go to a place with me!" ”
The tone was as if he was ordering Du Zhong.
Hear the words.
Du Zhong raised his eyebrows.
However, after all, this is in the other party's house, since the other party has spoken, if he beats him strongly, it will be too bad to give the Zhou family face.
"Take people down."
Zhou Yinger waved her hand.
The people of the Zhou family immediately rushed forward and pulled Gu Mu'er towards the side courtyard.
"Soon, soon."
Du Zhong shouted at Gu Mu'er.
Gu Muer couldn't stop nodding.
"People have seen almost, let's go."
Zhou Ying'er glanced at Du Zhong, and as soon as she turned around, she went directly towards the back of the main hall of the Zhou family, and swept away.
"I'd like to see what tricks you can do?"
My heart sank.
Eucommia immediately followed.
The two of them flew directly above the main hall of the Zhou family, one after the other, and their figures quickly disappeared in the golden light in the sky.
"Huh?"
Flying over the main hall of the Zhou family, Du Zhong raised his eyes to take a look.
I found that there was a mountain forest in front of me, a mountain forest that was very well groomed, but it was full of primitive atmosphere.
In the depths of that mountain forest.
There is a small fenced courtyard.
Compared with the palace-like main hall in front of it, this small courtyard looked extremely dilapidated and depressed.
Surrounded by a bamboo fence is a small bamboo pavilion about a meter above the ground, which seems to be large enough for one person.
In front of the pavilion is a small field.
In the venue, there are various plants, which look quite eye-catching.
"Smack!"
Following in the footsteps of Zhou Yinger, Du Zhong steadily settled at the gate of the small courtyard.
"Don't touch the flowers."
Zhou Ying'er turned her head, said coldly, and then turned her head away.
While stepping into the small courtyard.
The cold aura on Zhou Yinger's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a simple smile that can only be seen on the face of a little girl.
"Grandma."
Zhou Ying'er cautiously walked towards the small pavilion and shouted sweetly.
"Ying'er?"
In the pavilion, there was a sound of doubt.
Immediately, an old woman with snow-white hair came out of the pavilion.
Seeing this person, Du Zhong's heart trembled.
Judging from Zhou Yinger's previous name for this person, this person is obviously the one who once liked Mu Lao, the saint of that generation.
Zhou Yinger, why did you bring him to meet her?
Confused, Du Zhong followed.
"Guests?"
Seeing Zhou Ying'er and Du Zhong, the old lady grinned kindly and said, "Come in, my aunt will make you tea." ”
With that, he turned around and went to make tea.
When Du Zhong and Zhou Yinger walked into the room.
The old lady had already made a pot of tea and walked up.
"Xiao Nizi, don't you want to introduce your aunt and grandmother?"
After pouring a cup of tea for Du Zhong, the old woman said to Zhou Ying'er.
"Auntie, his name is Du Zhong."
Zhou Ying'er stared at Du Zhong and said, "She is ......"
"What is it?"
The old woman asked.
"It's Mu Renfeng's apprentice!"
Zhou Ying'er hesitated for a while before she spoke.
As soon as these words came out.
The old woman who was pouring tea for Zhou Ying'er trembled violently, as if she lost her mind in an instant, and even poured out the tea.
"Mu Renfeng, he ......"
After a while, the old woman turned her head, looked at Du Zhong and asked, "Are you doing well?" ”
"My master is fine."
Du Zhong hurriedly nodded back.
"That's good, that's good."
The old woman smiled and said to Du Zhong, "You are his apprentice, he must have mentioned me to you, right?" ”
