"There is no such thing as peace on Qing Jiao Island, there is only one way to have peace, and that is to improve your strength, when you are strong enough, no one will dare to make a move on you, this time for yourself. Only then is there peace."
Zhou Yuantong sighed.
He had just received an urgent notice from the Third Elder for this matter.
Moreover, in order to ensure Chen Ge's safety, the Third Elder had purposely deployed a small team of the family's cultivators to protect Chen Ge's safety.
Even though Chen Ge had a ninth-transformation Yuan Shen, after all, the people who came here were all not bad, and with Chen Ge's strength, he might not really be a match for them.
Zhou Yuan Tong's task was to keep an eye on the situation around him. Once there was any danger, he would report it directly, and the Zhou family would do all they could to protect Chen Ge.
"What you said makes sense." Guo Lintian nodded his head. It was hard to disagree.
"How come the organisers don't care?" Chen Ge asked with some curiosity, "Does it mean that they just watch the island in such chaos?"
"Actually, not really, the organisers want to control it but have no way to do so, they can't help one side and offend the other, after all, they are trying to gain a foothold in the cultivation world." Zhou Yuantong shook his head, this situation was no longer considered a secret in their Zhou family.
"How do you know about it?" Bai Xiaofei asked.
"I guessed it too." Zhou Yuantong coughed awkwardly twice, while deciding that he would have to think about what he said in the future, otherwise there was a good chance that whichever sentence he said would reveal his mouth.
"You kid wouldn't be one of the organisers, would you?" Bai Xiaofei suddenly stared at him.
"Of course not, if I were from the organisers, how could I be sitting here." Zhou Yuantong hurriedly explained.
In the midst of talking, the auction had already started, and everyone was staring at the auction stage, wanting to see what kind of auction items would be served up.
After all, the Sima family's beast-shaped tripod had already caused quite a lot of volatility in the morning.
It was important to know that pills and tonics were something that were indispensable for cultivators, not only to boost their strength, but also to heal quickly after an injury.
And there was no way for normal people to refine and boil pills, while having a beast-shaped tripod. As long as you have the prescription, you can make your own pills and boil the soup. To take a step back, even if you don't use it yourself, you can still get a constant stream of income if you use the tripod to refine it to buy it.
While everyone was staring at the auction stage, Zhou Wanjiang and the others were staring at Chen Ge.
"The more you look at this kid, the better you feel, Old Third. Have you made the arrangements for what you were told to do?" Zhou Wanjiang crossed his legs, a smile on the corner of his mouth all the way up.
"Not yet, it's too abrupt now. It's better to wait until the auction is over and I'll talk about it in the evening." The Third Elder shook his head and said honestly.
"That's fine too." Zhou Wanjiang nodded his head.
"What is it?" Zhou felt that everything her father and the Third Elder said now was about her and Chen Ge, so she wanted to ask for clarification.
"Nothing, it's just the few cultivators that were killed today. I asked Lao San to dispose of them as early as possible when the auction is over, and they will be buried in the back mountain." Zhou Wanjiang said casually, don't look at the lie, but his face was not red and his heart was not jumping, even when he spoke very smoothly.
"Really?" Zhou Min didn't quite believe it.
He had come to the auctions in the past, and his father had never asked about these things. How come he was so concerned now.
Matters that were originally settled by the family disciples were now surprisingly arranged for the Third Elder to personally manage them.
"You girl, when has daddy ever lied to you?" Zhou Wanjiang knew that his daughter was ice-smart. He had no choice but to use a killer.
"Hmm." Hearing Zhou Wanjiang say this, Zhou Min stopped asking.
Indeed, since childhood, Zhou Wanjiang had never lied to her. Either he would just tell the truth or he would just not say anything.
The afternoon auction was uninteresting and boring.
Everyone thought that after the appearance of the beast-shaped tripod in the morning, more powerful and rare auction items would appear in the afternoon, but to everyone's disappointment, the auction items in the afternoon were very simple and were all relatively rare items.
Although they could cause quite a stir outside, they were not very attractive to the cultivators of the great clans, even if they had money. Even if they had the money, they would save it for the auction items that follow, not these "junk" items.
As darkness fell, the auction was over.
The crowd walked out of the auction house, all with a look of despondency on their faces, but they were all a little tired after sitting inside all day. So they were quick on their feet, eager to get back and rest.
The four of them, Chen Ge, walked in the crowd.
"Tch." Chen Ge frowned slightly.
He felt like someone was following behind him, and almost close to him.
But this time Chen Ge didn't turn around, instead he continued to walk ahead, he wasn't competing for any auction items, it was almost impossible for someone to be following him, most likely, it was someone from the Zhou family who was following him.
But Zhou Yuantong was right beside himself, so Chen Ge didn't really care.
It was the same as noon. After finding a random bit of food downstairs, the group returned to the room, only before their bottoms were warmed up, Zhou Yuantong came over.
Seeing that he looked like he wanted to say something, Chen Ge got up and went back to the room.
Zhou Yuantong also hurriedly followed him in.
"Go ahead, what's the matter?" Chen Ge sat on the table by the bed. Lighting a cigarette, he asked indifferently.
"That big brother Chen Ge, I just received news. The family wants to meet with you, saying that they have something important to say." Zhou Yuantong was a little embarrassed, afraid that Chen Ge would refuse. However, he could not refuse and go against the family's wishes.
"Let's go." Chen Ge took a puff of his cigarette and said.
"Ah? Just go like that?" Zhou Yuantong was a little caught off guard.
"Do we still have to change our clothes?" Chen Ge asked with a chuckle.
"No, I just didn't expect you to agree so quickly." Zhou Yuantong shook his head and said.
"That's simple, I'll think about it again and decide whether to go or not." Chen Ge raised his eyebrows and sat back down again.
"Don't, if you don't go, I'll be in trouble!" As soon as he heard this, Zhou Yuantong was a little anxious and hurriedly went forward to pull Chen Ge's arm.
"Go go go!" Chen Ge said helplessly.
After speaking to Guo Lintian and Bai Xiaofei, Chen Ge led him away.
On the way, Chen Ge pretended to be relaxed and asked, "Who from your family wants to meet?"
"One of the seniors of the family." After thinking about it, Zhou Yuantong did not reveal Zhou Wanjiang's identity, he was worried that it might scare Chen Ge.
"Shouldn't be in a bad position in your family, right?" Chen Ge pondered for a moment.
"You will know when you arrive." Zhou Yuantong did not dare to deny or admit it, so he could only answer vaguely.
Hearing him say this, Chen Ge did not continue to ask further questions, but followed behind him and walked in the direction of the big mountain.
When he had walked for almost half an hour, Chen Ge looked up and saw that the big mountain had appeared again.
