Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

Zhou Ze was a little angry, but this was Chan City, the territory of Hanxing Country, and he couldn't cause trouble, so he could only look at the man angrily.

"What are you looking at? You didn't listen to what I told you. My master is busy." Servant A said again in a mean way.

"Pa..." Yu Xiaobai walked up and slapped him in the face.

"You, you, where did you come from, you little girl? How dare you hit people?" Servant A pointed at Yu Xiaobai and said stutteringly.

"Are you a human? I use my hands to hit guard dogs, especially the disobedient ones." After saying this, Yu Xiaobai blew gently on the palm of her hand.

"Silly girl, who do you say is the watchdog?" At this time, servants A, B, C, and D all rushed up fiercely.

"Xiao Yu is my sister, don't be rude." Zhou Ze immediately stepped forward and advised.

“Brother Zhou Ze, it’s easier to meet the King of Hell in this world than to deal with little devils. If you meet one, you have to beat him until he obeys.” Yu Xiaobai said as he rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward.

"Yes, they dare to be so rude to our eldest brother, so we should teach them a lesson." Mo Xiaotan stepped forward and said excitedly.

After she said this, Xing Fang and others also rushed forward, and more than twenty people surrounded the four people tightly.

Seeing that they were outnumbered, the servants were too timid to speak, but they did not go to report either.

Aying and Aquan didn't care about all that. They just rushed up, banged on the door and shouted "uncle".

As expected, after such a commotion, the doorman opened the door and looked at the people outside curiously, and the housekeeper also hurried over.

"Who are you? Why are you making trouble in front of my Zhu Mansion?" The housekeeper shouted as he came out.

"Butler, these people are here to cause trouble." Servant A pointed at Zhou Ze and spoke nonsense.

"Why did you come to my Zhu Mansion to cause trouble?" The housekeeper looked at Zhou Ze and asked loudly.

"Butler, I came here with a group of fellow apprentices and asked this young man to inform Master Zhu that he wanted to see him. Not only did he not inform me, he also spoke ill of me." Zhou Ze looked at Servant A with disgust.

"Are you disciples of the immortal sect? My Zhu family has not invited any disciples of the immortal sect!" asked the housekeeper puzzledly.

"Don't you, the butler, understand what we are saying? We said we wanted to see Mr. Zhu, but we didn't say we were invited to see Mr. Zhu." Mo Xiaotan pointed at the butler's nose and asked.

"You little girl...how can you talk like that?" The housekeeper looked at Mo Xiaotan angrily. "You don't understand good and bad words, so I have to talk to you in a different way?" Mo Xiaotan was arrogant and domineering by nature, and now that she was in the right, she naturally had to say a few words.

"That's right. We came here with good intentions to ask for a meeting, but your people tried to stop us." Wei Xin also stepped forward to help.

"We are here to look for my uncle. My uncle's name is Lin Hongwen. May I ask where he is now?" A Quan rushed to the housekeeper and said loudly.

"Son-in-law?" When the housekeeper heard the name Lin Hongwen, he was stunned at first, and then looked at A Quan in confusion.

"So, uncle is really here. Where is he? Can I see him?" A Quan said anxiously, pulling the butler's sleeve.

"Yes, where is uncle? We really want to see him." Aying also hurried forward and begged.

Zhou Ze and Yu Xiaobai looked at each other and knew in their hearts that they had made the right choice.

"This, this, son-in-law, he, it's not that I don't want you to see my son-in-law, but you should go in first, I'll let grandpa talk to you!" The housekeeper said in embarrassment and invited everyone to come in.

At this point, no one knew what to do and could only follow him into the Zhu family mansion.

The Zhu family is worthy of being the richest family in Chan City. Their large manor with many entrances and exits is several times larger than the Yunji Villa and the Priest's Mansion combined.

Even a rich lady like Mo Xiaotan was amazed, not to mention Zhou Ze, Xing Fang and other children of officials, and ordinary people like Yu Xiaobai and Zi Yan.

"There are so many rooms. I guess if I sleep in one room a day, I won't be able to sleep in enough even in a year." Bai Xing muttered softly.

"You're dreaming. I'll have to give you a chance to sleep with me." Wei Xin said to Bai Xing with disdain.

Yu Xiaobai was also speechless at the surprise of the Zhu Family Mansion. If this building were placed in modern times, it would be a 5A-level scenic spot.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the reception area of ​​Zhu's mansion. The housekeeper invited everyone into the house and arranged for people to make tea and serve food. Then he asked someone to invite Mr. Zhu.

"Please wait a moment, my master will be here soon." said the butler politely.

"Master Butler, where is my uncle? Can we meet him first?" A Quan asked impatiently.

"Young master, you'd better wait a moment. It won't be too late to talk to me after my master comes." The butler looked to be in a dilemma.

A Quan and A Ying exchanged glances, both with anxious looks on their faces.

"Since we're here, just wait a while!" Zhou Ze said to comfort the two of them.

In a short while, the maids brought up many exquisite snacks that Xinyue had never seen before. Everyone tasted them curiously, and Yu Xiaobai ate a few more pieces because he liked them.

Just then, Mr. Zhu walked in hurriedly.

"Which one of you is my brother-in-law's nephew?" Mr. Zhu looked around as he entered the room.

"I, it's me, I am Lin Hongwen's nephew, my name is Lin Yuquan, Mr. Zhu, where is my uncle?" Ah Quan hurriedly stood up and said.

"I am Lin Hongwen's niece, my name is Lin Fengying." Aying also stood up and introduced herself.

"Lin Yuquan, Lin Fengying? Yes, I have heard my son-in-law mention these two names." Mr. Zhu suddenly burst into tears as he spoke.

His behavior left everyone in the hall puzzled. Why did he start crying before he even started talking?

"Master Zhu, why are you like this?" Zhou Ze asked in confusion.

"Who are you?" Grandpa Zhu held back his tears and asked Zhou Ze in confusion.

"I am Zhou Ze, the first disciple of Yunji Villa. They are all my junior brothers and sisters. This time we were ordered by our master to go down the mountain for the trial. When we passed by Biluo Village, we heard from Aying and his sister that their uncle might have met with an accident here, so we accompanied them here." Zhou Ze briefly introduced himself and his group.

“So this is the Yunji Villa in Xingyue Country. I’ve heard of your great name for a long time, but this is the first time I’ve met a disciple from your sect.” Grandpa Zhu said as he sat down next to Zhou Ze.

"Mr. Zhu, if Miss Aying's uncle is really in your house, please ask him to come out and see her." Zhou Ze said sincerely and politely.

"Alas! Brother Zhou, I also wanted my son-in-law to come out to meet you, but unfortunately, unfortunately, my son-in-law Hongwen passed away due to illness two years ago." Mr. Zhu said with deep sorrow.

"What?" Ah Quan asked in horror, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

"Uncle, how could he be dead? Didn't he always write to us?" Aying asked puzzled.

"Don't ask for now. Let me tell you. My son-in-law Hongwen married into my Zhu family three years ago. I, Zhu, have worked hard for half my life, but I have only two daughters. The younger daughter stubbornly went to the Yuling Sect to practice Taoism. The eldest daughter is very ridiculous. She has a strange disease and doesn't like men." When Mr. Zhu talked about this, his face turned red and he was very embarrassed.

After hearing this, everyone present showed curiosity on their faces and pricked up their ears, wondering how ridiculous a woman could be.

Mr. Zhu looked helpless. He sighed deeply and slowly began to tell everyone about Lin Hongwen.

It turns out that this Miss Zhu has no interest in men at all, and she is always inseparable from a gangster woman named Dong Xiuqin.

Mr. Zhu racked his brains and tried all kinds of methods, including intimidation and bribery, but he could not make Miss Zhu change her mind.

Miss Zhu was desperate and tried everything, such as jumping into a lake, hanging herself, cutting her wrists, and finally running away from home. She tried almost every possible method she could think of.

Faced with such a stubborn daughter, Mr. Zhu was ultimately helpless. Seeing that he could not change Miss Zhu's mind no matter what he did, he finally stopped forcing her.

Miss Zhu's situation continued until four years ago, when Dong Xiuqin suddenly left without saying goodbye and disappeared. Miss Zhu, who lost her beloved, fell into depression. A year later, that is, three years ago, she seemed to have an epiphany and even had the idea of ​​inviting a son-in-law to marry into the family.

Miss Zhu, whose maiden name was Zhu Hui, was affectionately called Zhu Ji by everyone in the family.

One day three years ago, Zhu Ji went to Lanyin Temple outside the city to burn incense and worship Buddha, and she accidentally met a man from another place, Lin Hongwen. The two hit it off and talked happily, and immediately promised to spend their lives together.

Miss Zhu returned to the Zhu family and told Mr. Zhu about this. Mr. Zhu nodded and agreed immediately without even checking Lin Hongwen's background.

Compared with his unclear relationship with Dong Xiuqin and the ridiculous words of never marrying, as long as Miss Zhu is willing to get married, Mr. Zhu is ready to burn incense to comfort his ancestors.

But before the wedding, Master Zhu put forward an inhuman condition, that is, Lin Hongwei could not return to his home from now on. He did not deliberately put forward this condition at that time, but just wanted to see whether he was sincere to his daughter.

Lin Hongwen was a good man. He agreed to not go home, but he still wrote to his only brother from time to time. Miss Zhu gave him a lot of money, but he did not accept it, nor did he send a penny home.

Lin Hongwen only stayed in the Zhu family for one year. During this year, he and Miss Zhu had a very good relationship and had a daughter.

When the family of three was supposed to be happy, Lin Hongwen suddenly got a headache. Even though the Zhu family was rich and had visited many famous doctors for him, they were helpless against this disease and Lin Hongwen died soon after he became ill.

The pain of losing her husband was a great blow to Miss Zhu. Since Lin Hongwen's death, she has never left the yard again, and even gave her only daughter to Mr. Zhu to raise.

After understanding the whole story, Aying and her brother were quite sad. They had hoped to see their uncle immediately, but what they received was the tragic news that he had passed away two years ago.

"Mr. Zhu, where is our uncle's grave? My sister and I want to go and pay our respects to him." Aying asked sadly.

"Where is uncle's child? Can we see her?" A Quan also asked with concern. After all, she is his uncle's only blood in the world.

"My dear son-in-law's tomb is near Lanyin Temple outside the city. I can ask the housekeeper to take you there. As for Linbao, if you want to see her, I can take you to see her." Grandpa Zhu said with a heavy face.

"Lin Bao?" Everyone was curious about this name. Since Lin Hongwen married into the Zhu family, why could his children take his surname?

"Zhu Linbao is taken from the surnames of my Zhu and Lin families." Mr. Zhu explained again.

"Master Zhu, now that the matter has been brought to light, there is nothing for us to do. Please take care of Aying and her brother in the future. We have something else to do, so we'll take our leave first." Zhou Ze thought about what he had promised Huo Ning and how he would investigate the incident of the demon clan injuring people, so he offered to leave.

"Okay, I will take good care of these two children. If Brother Zhou is busy, he can leave first. Butler, please help me see them off." Master Zhu instructed the butler beside him.

Just like that, Zhou Ze and his group left Zhu's house under the guidance of the housekeeper.

"I didn't expect that Lin Hongwen is really gone. A Quan's intuition is quite accurate, but the Zhu family is not a monster." Yu Xiaobai said to himself.

"The Zhu family is so wealthy, I guess Lin Hongwen is not destined to enjoy this luxury." Tong Yi also said.

"Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by God. Lin Hongwen is destined to die early. It's a pity for Miss Zhu and the two or three-year-old baby." Zhou Ze was depressed to death. Such a good ending happened.

"Big Brother, are we going back to the inn?" Yu Xiaobai suddenly asked.

"I promised Huo Ning that I would stay here to capture the monsters. Let's split up and act accordingly. This is also the purpose of your trip down the mountain for this trial." Zhou Ze said while looking at everyone.

"Then how should we divide it?" Xing Fang asked.

"Divide into groups of ten. Junior Sister Mo will lead one group, Junior Sister Zi Yan will lead a group, Xing Fang and three others will follow Junior Sister Mo, Junior Sister Xiaoyu will follow Junior Sister Zi Yan, and the others can make their own choices. We will split into three groups. If we encounter the monster tribe, use the Sky Sentry as a signal. Remember not to act impulsively. If you encounter danger, run away if you cannot win, and do not fight to the end." Zhou Ze warned in a very serious tone.

"Okay, senior brother."

The twenty-one people quickly took sides, and Yu Xiaobai joined Zi Yan's group.

After the separation, they each chose a direction and left.

"Can we find the demon tribe if we just keep searching without any beginning or end?" Bai Xing, who was following Zi Yan, asked in a low voice.

"Didn't we bring a monster-hunting compass before we went down the mountain? Let's try that." Zi Yan said.

When the others heard this, they all took out their monster-hunting compasses and began to look at it carefully.

Yu Xiaobai stood there like an extra person, staring at them blankly. Lan Moqiu, this guy, prepared silver and Mei Yu for her when he went out, but didn't bring anything else.

"Don't you have a monster-hunting compass?" Zi Yan looked at her curiously.

"No, before I left, Lan Moqiu only gave me a sword and a lot of silver." Yu Xiaobai said helplessly with a pout.

"Is that how you call the high priest?" The other disciples did not know Yu Xiaobai, and they looked at her strangely when they heard her call their master like that.

"Oh, my master, the master likes me to call him that." Yu Xiaobai said awkwardly. But she didn't lie, she did call him that when she was angry sometimes, and Lan Moqiu wasn't angry, nor did he stop her from calling him that.

Only then did Zi Yan feel that Yu Xiaobai in front of her was indeed a little silly. It was a pity that she had originally thought that this was a scheming woman.

"Let's go. Don't fall behind others." Zi Yan reminded.

"Junior Sister Zi Yan, you never played with us before." Hong Ling suddenly asked.

"But now we are a team. Since we are a team, we must unite." Zi Yan glanced at Hong Ling and said coldly.

Damn it, is she so cold? Hasn't she been normal for the past two days? Why is it happening again? Yu Xiaobai secretly complained in his heart.

What she didn't know was that the reason why Zi Yan changed her attitude towards her was because she had been flattering her for so long.
