The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 824 - 266: You’re Calling Me Uncle? My Sister Had a Child Before Marriage?
Zhou Qing heard this, his eyebrows jumped violently, and he turned to look at Shen Yunzhou.
With the way you're talking, outsiders might think I'm deliberately hiding and unwilling to help them.
The two women turned pale instantly, and Xiao Cancan quickly explained, "We never doubted you, Brother Zhou. Don't misunderstand us."
"Yes, we'll think of another way. Please don't worry about it," Li Shitao hurriedly added.
They had known Zhou Qing for many years and naturally trusted his character, fearing that Shen Yunzhou's remarks might harm their longtime friendship.
Lu Yaoyao frowned slightly, just about to say something, when Shen Yunzhou suddenly flipped his wrist casually, and a bright green hexagonal stone appeared in his palm.
The surface of the Spirit Stone was covered with dense runes resembling the rings of an ancient tree, subtly exuding vibrant life. It was unmistakably a piece of top-grade Wood Attribute Spirit Stone.
"Brother Zhou doesn't have one, but I do!" Shen Yunzhou raised the Spirit Stone in his hand, looking quite pleased.
The eyes of the two women lit up instantly.
"May I ask your name?" Li Shitao and Xiao Cancan asked eagerly, bowing in salutation.
Shen Yunzhou waved his hand nonchalantly, "I'm Shen Yunzhou, here to repay a kindness. Since you are friends of Brother Zhou, you're naturally my friends too. How could I stand by while friends are in trouble!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already placed the Spirit Stone directly into Li Shitao's hand.
"Mr. Shen, your great kindness will never be forgotten. When the new Spirit Stones arrive, we will return it to you," Li Shitao said gratefully.
"No need to return it. If you want to thank someone, thank Brother Zhou. When this Lady Li gives birth, she can casually recognize the two of us as godfathers."
Shen Yunzhou said half-jokingly.
Li Shitao and Xiao Cancan nodded quickly, "No problem, no problem, thank you both!"
As they spoke, the two women bowed solemnly again.
Zhou Qing could only wave his hand, since he hadn't done anything.
But the two women didn't dare delay any longer, especially having seen Xiao Ji not long ago, their expressions were grave, it seemed like the thing Uncle Zhang brought still didn't lead to the culprit.
Given the circumstances, they specifically advised them to return to the residence early.
Watching the Flying Ship depart, Zhou Qing was about to invite Shen Yunzhou inside when he saw him suddenly smile slyly, "So Brother Zhou is cultivating a Wood Attribute Cultivation Technique, you should have said so earlier!"
Before his voice fell, he patted his Storage Bag, and ten top-grade Wood Attribute Spirit Stones emitting a gentle green light appeared in his arms.
"I came in a hurry this time, only brought twelve in total. Gave one to them, need to keep one for myself just in case, the rest are all yours as gratitude for saving my life."
Shen Yunzhou said it lightly.
Zhou Qing's eyes lit up instantly, he never expected this guy to be carrying such a treasure trove.
No wonder those people tried to rob you on the way.
Truly, people from a Fifth-level Cultivation Country are different.
So generous, I love it.
"No, I can't accept it, how could I possibly, I really can't," Zhou Qing hurriedly declined.
Lu Yaoyao looked at the Spirit Stones already held by Zhou Qing, her mouth twitching fiercely a couple of times.
"Senior Brother Zhou, you…"
"Shut up, don't you see your senior brother's good fortune," Zhou Qing glared back directly.
Refusing once was enough, Shen Yunzhou is an honest person, if I decline again and he takes them back, I'd really bleed.
"Brother Zhou is truly a man of character, so straightforward!" Shen Yunzhou laughed heartily, the admiration in his eyes growing more intense.
He's loyal, not pretentious, principled, much better than Yan Sen.
Zhou Qing quickly stored the Spirit Stones into his Storage Bag, feeling a burst of gratitude towards Li Shitao and Xiao Cancan.
No, I should thank Lady Li!
The help at Vast Mansion back then has now been repaid in this unexpected way, truly fulfilling the saying "good deeds are rewarded".
"Come, let's not talk here, hurry inside!" Zhou Qing grinned broadly, extending his hand in an inviting manner.
Shen Yunzhou also smiled and cupped his hands, "Brother Zhou, after you!"
The three then headed toward the mountain gate barrier.
"How is Senior Shen's injury now?"
"Almost healed, thank you for your concern."
"I was just asking casually. By the way, how did you come to understand that kind of realm?"
"That's a long story, are you sure you want to hear it?"
"Then never mind, let's talk about something else."
"Brother Shen, what kind of realm? I want to hear."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!"
"Alright, since it's a long story, I'll explain while we have a meal later."
