C8 Liu He
Chapter eight, Lau Hee.
"young master Zuo, the Lau family has come to ask for someone. The Great Elder has asked you to come over. " A voice was heard from Zuo Mao's room.
Zuo Mao, who was cultivating, slowly opened his eyes and heard the voice coming from outside.
"So fast? The Lau family has taken Lau Hua seriously. " Zuo Mao stood up and opened the door.
"Wait a moment, I will be there in a moment. "
Zuo Mao quickly washed up and followed the guards to the meeting hall.
When they entered the meeting hall, the first people they saw were naturally the Great Elder and Second Elder who were very familiar with each other.
Sitting opposite of the two elders was a handsome middle-aged man wearing a white robe. Zuo Mao had never seen him before.
But he was sure that he was from the Lau family.
"Great Elder, Second Elder. " Zuo Mao bowed slightly.
"Young master, you're welcome. Come and have a seat. " The Great Elder smiled like a flower and gestured for him to take a seat.
Zuo Mao sat down beside the two elders.
"Let me introduce you. This is Lau Hee of Lau family, Lau Hua's father. " The Great Elder said.
Zuo Mao understood what was going on. It seemed like Lau Hua's father was here. No wonder his son was caught so quickly.
He couldn't blame anyone for being late and missing something.
"He wants to use something to exchange for Lau Hua, Wang Mang, and the others. What do you think, young master?" The Second Elder said with a smile.
The Second Elder's words had given Zuo Mao a lot of authority.
Ever since Zuo Mao awakened his innate full spirit energy, he had gained a lot of weight in the hearts of all Zuo families.
"This matter is decided by the two elders, as long as you think it's okay. " Zuo Mao revealed a trace of a smile.
The smiles on the faces of the two elders increased. Zuo Mao's words had given them enough face in front of outsiders. It seemed like the two elders were the ones who made the decision. The weight of Zuo Mao in their hearts increased.
"He gave us five hundred thousand gold coins and a Soul Strength Fruit. I think it can be exchanged. " The Great Elder said.
"What is a Soul Force Fruit?" Zuo Mao was startled upon hearing this. It was a new term.
"Soul Energy Fruit is only useful for battle tattoo masters. It can strengthen one's mental energy, but it has no effect on soul cultivators. However, it's also a rare material, so I can barely accept it " Second Elder explained.
Zuo Mao's eyes lit up when he heard that it was useful to fight an Inscription Master. This was another time he had heard news about an Inscriptionist.
He was becoming more and more curious about this mysterious and rare profession.
"Then let's do as First Elder says. " Zuo Mao nodded slightly and looked at Lau Hee, who was standing opposite of him. He found that Lau Hee was also looking at him with narrowed eyes.
To be more precise, he was looking at the young master of the Zuo family, who had a natural talent of spiritual energy.
He was born with spiritual energy, why didn't he appear in the Lau family? When this kid grows up, there won't be a place for the Lau family in the Cloud City. The more Lau Hee looked at Zuo Mao, the more he felt that Zuo Mao's potential threat was too great.
One in ten thousand talent, a calm disposition. Lau Hee had also seen through the conversation he had with his own elder just now. He had a very accurate grasp of human nature.
What a monstrous talent! If he was allowed to grow up, perhaps Lau family would become a stray dog, living in fear for the rest of their lives.
The grudges and grudges between the two families could not be resolved.
Since it couldn't be resolved, the only way was to get rid of this threat.
Lau Hee shifted his gaze away. No one noticed the flash of coldness in his eyes.
Very quickly, the guards of the Zuo family, together with Lau Hua and Wang Mang who were tied up, walked in.
"Hua'er!" Lau Hee rushed to Lau Hua's side and felt sorry for him when he saw Lau Hua's face.
Lau Hua's face was green and purple, and his body was covered with dried blood. There was a foul smell coming from his body. The most important thing was that his limbs were weak and weak. Obviously, his hands and feet had been broken.
Zuo Mao was also a little surprised. He had never specially treated Lau Hua, but he thought that it was most likely the Zuo family guarding the dungeon that had given him extra food. This phenomenon was too normal. The two families had not known each other for so long, and once they caught someone, they definitely had to treat him well.
This was all tacitly approved.
"Father. " Lau Hua's consciousness was very weak, but he could still recognize that it was his father in front of him.
"Save me. " Lau Hua's voice was very soft. After saying that, he tilted his head and fainted.
When Lau Hee saw his son in such a miserable state, a wave of anger rushed to his head. He couldn't help but release a powerful spirit energy from his body, which instantly swept across the entire meeting hall.
The table and chairs let out cracking sounds as if they couldn't bear the burden.
The Zuo family guards couldn't bear this wave of spirit energy and quickly retreated out of the hall.
Zuo Mao sat on the chair with a calm expression on his face. In fact, he was using all his strength to resist the spiritual energy.
His hands unconsciously clenched into fists and his teeth tightly clenched together.
What a powerful spiritual energy. Is this the strength of an Eight-star of Spirit Stage?
"Hmph!" A cold snort sounded like a thunderclap, and the spirit energy quickly dispersed like a tidal wave.
"Zuo family, what a ruthless method!" Lau Hee suppressed his anger and tried his best to calm himself down.
"Speaking of ruthlessness, who can compare with your Lau family? You are really arrogant. " The Great Elder said coldly.
"Lau Hua still has a cure. Take out what you promised me and I'll let you take it away. If you don't take it, I'll give you a dead one. " The Great Elder said in a flat tone.
"Hmph!" Although Lau Hee was burning with rage, he knew it. There was no place for him to act recklessly.
Lau Hee flicked his finger and a ring flew towards the Great Elder.
The Great Elder took the ring and checked the number. After checking the number, he raised his head and said, "You can take your son and leave now. "
"Take them all back. " Lau Hee said with a heavy tone. Immediately, a group of Lau families carried Lau Hua, Wang Mang, and the others out. No one stopped them.
Just as Lau Hee was about to walk out of the meeting hall, his footsteps suddenly stopped.
He turned around and looked at Zuo Mao.
"young master Zuo of Zuo family, right?" Lau Hee looked at Zuo Mao.
"It's me. " Zuo Mao didn't know why he asked, but he still answered.
"Possessing peerless talent, growing up to be another generation's expert. Unfortunately, I don't know if he will be able to grow up. " Lau Hee said with pity.
Zuo Mao narrowed his eyes. There was a hidden meaning in his words.
"This world isn't peaceful. You have to calculate your steps before you leave. " Lau Hee laughed, turned around and left without looking back.
Zuo Mao quietly watched Lau Hee's back as he left. What he said just now was full of threat.
"Bring it on if you have the guts. " Zuo Mao murmured.
Zuo Mao turned around and looked at the Great Elder.
"Great Elder, when is the last time our Zuo family went to the Yunling City?"
The Zuo family's business had been expanding all these years. There were strongholds in the neighboring cities, and naturally, there were strongholds in the Yunling City as well. Every now and then, they would transport goods. If Zuo Mao wanted to go to the Yunling City. . . Following his own caravan was undoubtedly the best choice.
"A caravan to Yunling City? Tomorrow, we will send a batch of materials to Yunling City. There will be a motorcade there. " The Great Elder thought for a moment and said.
"Young master, why are you asking this?" The Great Elder asked.
"Tomorrow, I want to follow the motorcade to Yunling City. I will come back with the motorcade. " Zuo Mao said.
"Well, I just offended Lau Hee and beat Lau Hua up. Lau Hee must have remembered you. He might even have sent some spies to keep an eye on you. It's not appropriate for young master to go out at this time. " Second Elder couldn't help but say. If Zuo Mao went out now, it was highly likely that Lau Hee would take revenge on him.
Zuo Mao lowered his head and thought for a while, then he said, "Elders, I must go to Yunling City. I have something very important to attend to. As for Lau Hee's threat, we can use some other means to hide my whereabouts. Besides, Lau Hee isn't stupid. Even if he catches me, he will at most give me some trouble. He won't dare to kill me. "
Zuo Mao's guess was very close to what Lau Hee was thinking from a certain point of view. However, there was one step that Zuo Mao didn't think of.
He had underestimated his own potential. This kind of potential threat made Lau Hee decide to take the risk and kill it in the cradle.
He had underestimated Lau Hee's determination, and also underestimated his innate talent to be full of spirit energy. If Zuo Mao had awakened level nine spirit energy, Lau Hee might not have wanted to kill him, but a level ten full spirit energy, a rare genius that was only seen once in a century, was too terrifying!
When the two elders heard this, what Zuo Mao said made sense.
"Since that's the case, I will send a few more experts to hide in the convoy tomorrow. Young master must be careful. " The Second Elder nodded.
"Also, Zuo Yuh will follow the caravan to Yunling City tomorrow. You two brothers can have a good relationship with each other. " The Great Elder stroked his white beard and said with a smile.
"Cousin Zuo Yuh will go too?" Zuo Mao was stunned.
"Yes, this child knows his limits. I can rest assured if he walks outside. " The Great Elder said with a smile.
"Alright, I understand. "
Zuo Mao nodded and left the meeting hall.
. . .
"Patriarch, young master Zuo wants to follow the convoy to Yunling City tomorrow. " The Great Elder was at the old man's place.
"Yunling City? What is he going there for?" The old man was stunned.
"I don't know. Zuo Mao didn't say. " The Great Elder shook his head.
The old man was silent for a while before he said, "Let him go. In addition, we need to keep a close watch on the Lau family. We need to add a few more experts into the convoy. "
"I've arranged all of these. " The Great Elder said with a smile.
"That's great. "
