C1626 Top Experts
This was because these two old men were the personal guards of Zhou Yan's grandfather and grandfather. Their cultivation had already reached the seventh level of the Spiritual Venerable Realm.
They were one of the most powerful experts in the entire Zhou Family.
Moreover, their combat strength was extremely shocking. Even ordinary cultivators at the ninth level of the Spiritual Venerable Realm were not their match.
When Zhou Yan's father saw Zhou Yan walk in, he stood up and walked in front of Zhou Yan. He patted Zhou Yan's head and said, "Yan'er, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, Father." Zhou Yan shook his head and said.
"Yan'er, the reason why I asked you to come here today is because I have something important to discuss with you," Zhou Wenhai said with a serious expression.
"Father, if there's anything you need, just say it. I'll just listen," Zhou Yan quickly said.
Hearing this, Zhou Wenhai thought for a while and said, "Yan'er, actually, I've been investigating you all this time."
"Investigate? Father, why are you investigating me?"
"I have found that you have been in touch with a mysterious man in a black robe, and that they seem to be young men, with whom you are so close that it is even possible that they are your secret guards. " Zhou Wenhai said.
Hearing this, Zhou Yan's expression changed.
He didn't know how it had come to light, but he knew that if it did, he would lose his life, and the entire Zhou family would be shamed.
"Father, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zhou Yan quickly said, "How could I know such a powerful person?"
Zhou Wenhai heard Zhou Yan's explanation, sighed, and said, "Yan'er, whether this matter is a rumor or not, you can't go out for the time being."
"But Father, I came to the capital this time because I have an important mission to carry out."
Hearing Zhou Yan's words, Zhou Wenhai frowned and said, "Yan'er, your mission is to cultivate well in the family. I will arrange these things!"
Hearing Zhou Wenhai's words, Zhou Yan's expression became serious as he said, "Father, this matter concerns the honor of our Zhou Family. Please forgive me for not being able to agree."
"Yan'er, when you came back this time, I knew that this mission was no small matter. Furthermore, I didn't want you to take such a huge risk, so I didn't want you to participate this time." Zhou Wenhai said firmly.
Hearing Zhou Wenhai's words, Zhou Yan fell silent.
Zhou Yan understood that this mission would definitely be extremely dangerous. If he did not participate, Zhou Wenhai would definitely push all the responsibility onto him.
Furthermore, this mission was a very difficult one. Not only did it require a large amount of resources, but it also required sufficient ability.
It could be said that he didn't dare to accept this mission without sufficient capability.
"Alright, since Father has said so, then I won't participate in this mission," Zhou Yan said helplessly.
"Yan'er, don't worry. After the mission is over, I will naturally tell you about this matter," Zhou Wenhai said.
"En, alright then, Father," Zhou Yan nodded and said.
"Oh right, Yan'er, stay at home for this period of time. You're not allowed to go anywhere. Wait for my news and I'll inform you to come over and accompany you to the mission location. " Zhou Wenhai warned Zhou Yan.
"Alright, I understand, Father," Zhou Yan replied.
Hearing Zhou Yan's promise, Zhou Wenhai smiled and said, "Alright, you can go back to work now."
"Yes," Zhou Yan replied before turning around and leaving the hall.
...
After leaving the hall, Zhou Yan went straight to Zhou Wenhai's study room.
"* Bang! *"
When he arrived at the door of the study room, he pushed it open and walked in. He said, "Father, did you call me here this time for something important?"
"Yan'er, sit down and have a cup of tea," Zhou Wenhai said.
Hearing Zhou Wenhai's words, Zhou Yan did not stand on ceremony. He sat down on the chair, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and asked, "Father, if you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush. "
"Hehe..." Zhou Wenhai looked at Zhou Yan and smiled, saying, "You are always so impatient."
After saying that, Zhou Wenhai took out a letter and handed it to Zhou Yan, saying, "This is the latest news. Take a look at it first."
"Alright."
Zhou Yan nodded, took the letter from Zhou Wenhai's hand, and read it carefully.
This letter was sent by an organization called the Yun Long Pavilion. The content was very simple, which was Zhou Yan's birthday.
After he finished reading the letter, his expression immediately changed. Then, he handed the letter to Zhou Wenhai and said, "Father, does our Zhou Family have a brat with the surname Zhao?"
"Yes, that's right. You know about the Zhao family?" Zhou Wenhai asked in surprise.
"Yes."
"The Zhao family and your mother have a deep relationship," Zhou Wenhai said.
"The Zhao Family belongs to my mother's family. When my mother was married, I met several of her brothers, but I have never seen the child of the Zhao Family," Zhou Yan said.
"That child of the Zhao family was taken away by the Zhao family when he was three years old. He's probably almost twenty now," Zhou Wenhai said. "Your mother was such a beautiful girl..."
Speaking of Zhou Yan's mother, Zhou Wenhai's face was full of tenderness and his eyes were gentle.
However, when Zhou Yan heard Zhou Wenhai's words, his entire body trembled!
The people from the Zhao Family were actually his relatives!
No wonder they wanted to cause trouble for him.
"Father, why are they causing trouble for me?"
Zhou Yan could not help but ask.
"The Zhao Family was destroyed five or six years ago," Zhou Wenhai said.
Hearing his father's words, Zhou Yan was completely stunned.
The Zhao Family was actually destroyed five or six years ago!
Zhou Yan did not doubt his father's words. His father was not only the patriarch of the Zhou Family, but also the guardian of the Zhou Family.
"Yan'er, you have been training outside all these years and have never seen anyone from the Zhao family, so you don't know."
Zhou Wenhai saw the shock on Zhou Yan's face and patiently told him about the Zhao Family.
"Back then, the Zhao Family could be said to be one of the overlords of South Sun Town."
"However, five or six years ago, the Zhao Family was suddenly attacked by a group of mysterious people and everyone in the Zhao Family died. Apparently, the old man of the Zhao Family died in that disaster."
"Originally, the Zhou family had lost a lot in that battle, but luckily, due to the rules of the Zhou family, no one from the Zhou family is allowed to use force against the Zhao family. Therefore, that massacre was only directed at the normal members of the Zhao family."1
"Because of this, the Zhou family didn't lose much."
