Chapter 7 - 7

Chapter 7: Chapter 7 Time passed quickly, and two months had passed in the blink of an eye. It was now autumn, and the weather was getting a little cooler. Relying on killing poultry in the slaughterhouse, Zhou Peng had reached level five, that is, the fifth level of a martial artist. Such a speed would make any so - called genius ashamed. For him, there was no bottleneck at all. At noon that day, as usual, he was busy running around in the Furong Restaurant. Zhang Dafu really didn't treat Zhou Peng as a human being. He made him do the work of five people. He seemed to be determined to exhaust him to death. Zhou Peng never complained. This made Zhang Dafu very unhappy. He was looking forward to having a big quarrel with Zhou Peng, then beating him up and finally kicking him out. Then he would have one less thorn in his side and wouldn't have to worry about the scolding of the great elder Zhou Xiangtian. In the Tianzi private room. Zhou Peng bent over and lowered his head. As usual, Zhou Kun humiliated him severely, but he still remained silent. These had become a necessary part of Zhou Peng's daily life. The accumulation of resentment day by day didn't make Zhou Peng feel very depressed. On the contrary, he was looking forward to the coming of the Autumn Hunting Competition held by the Zhou family. The Autumn Hunting was held once a year by the Zhou family. It was the most important competition for the Zhou family and also an opportunity for the younger generation of the Zhou family to stand out. The top three who hunted the most monsters in the Autumn Hunting Competition could not only enter the library for free for three days, but also get the appreciation of the clan leader and some mysterious big rewards. As long as the people in the Zhou family were under twenty years old and their strength was above the fifth level of a martial artist, both outer disciples and inner disciples were eligible to participate. Although Zhou Peng had been exiled, he was also eligible to participate. He was waiting for this day to come earlier. First, he wanted to understand the Kunlun Mountains earlier. Second, he wanted to surprise the Zhou family. The most important thing was to trample Zhou Kun under his feet. But his current strength was not enough to compete with Zhou Kun. You should know that Zhou Kun had already reached the seventh level of a martial artist and his气功 (qigong) had reached the sixth stage. So, Zhou Peng still endured. There were still ten days left before the Autumn Hunting Competition... Just as Zhou Peng was about to lower his head and walk out, Zhou Kun stopped him and said, "Waste, don't go yet. Today I'll introduce you to someone who has a close relationship with you." Zhou Peng stopped and stood aside, thinking in his heart, "Someone who has a close relationship with me? The only person in the Zhou family who has a little relationship with me is my aunt who is away all year round. Is she coming back?" "Probably not. My aunt should still be in seclusion in the Jingxin Zhai." Zhou Peng also learned a little about his original aunt from his memory. The reason why the Zhou family was prosperous until now was largely because of Zhou Shuang. She was noticed by the elder of the Jingxin Zhai at the age of thirteen and was taken back to the Jingxin Zhai. In the past ten years, her cultivation had reached the Gang - refining Realm. She was one of the geniuses that the Jingxin Zhai focused on cultivating. The Jingxin Zhai was a medium - level sect in the world of cultivation. All the people in it were women. It was the only sect in the entire world of cultivation that only accepted women. The Zhou family had a relationship with the Jingxin Zhai, and their status in Qinghe City had risen rapidly. This was the reason why they had been prosperous for so many years. Zhou Peng stood aside and thought quietly. Zhou Kun and his several cronies were talking about some trifles at the table. Zhou Kun looked at Zhou Peng coldly from time to time, as if he was afraid that he would run away. Not long after, the door was pushed open and a fairy - like woman walked in. The woman was dressed in white, very beautiful, but there was a touch of arrogance between her eyebrows, with an attitude of keeping people away. The woman pushed the door and entered, seemingly not taking the people in the room seriously. Seeing that the woman entered without manners, Zhou Kun was not angry but happy. He immediately got up to welcome her and said with a smile, "Sister Ruqian, you're here." The woman was Xiao Ruqian, the sister of Xiao Rufeng. Zhou Peng recognized her at a glance and felt a little bitter in his heart. Five years ago, Zhou Peng was very famous for a while. He was the genius that the Zhou family focused on cultivating. His cultivation had reached the sixth level of a martial artist. At that time, his fame overshadowed Xiao Rufeng, the number one genius in Qinghe City now. At that time, the Xiao family tried their best to flatter and wanted to marry Xiao Ruqian to Zhou Peng. They almost made a marriage contract. But on the night before the engagement, Zhou Peng suddenly fell seriously ill. After recovering from the illness, he found that his (qigong) was constantly losing. Finally, he found that his Dantian was damaged. Zhou Peng's status in the Zhou family plummeted. Even the servants of the Zhou family looked down on him, and the marriage contract with the Xiao family was never mentioned again. If Zhou Peng's Dantian had not been damaged at that time, Xiao Ruqian might have been his wife. But now Xiao Ruqian was Zhou Kun's fiancee. They got engaged not long ago. It seemed that they would get married after the Autumn Hunting Competition. Zhou Peng didn't have much feeling for Xiao Ruqian. When he saw her now, he just thought she was a little beautiful, but her temperament was far worse. Xiao Ruqian smiled faintly and bowed slightly and said, "Brother Zhou Kun, sorry to have kept you waiting." Her voice was very artificial. Zhou Peng couldn't help but feel sick when he heard it. When Xiao Ruqian entered the room, she noticed Zhou Peng. After greeting Zhou Kun, she looked at Zhou Peng coldly and said, "Oh, isn't this the great genius of the Zhou family?" There was a strong sarcasm in her tone. Zhou Peng smiled bitterly and didn't answer. Although he was not the previous Zhou Peng anymore, when he heard Xiao Ruqian's cold and sarcastic voice, he was very unhappy. Zhou Kun also walked to Xiao Ruqian's side and sneered, "Now he is the number one waste of the Zhou family." Xiao Ruqian pursed her lips and smiled, gently leaning against Zhou Kun's arms and said, "Brother Zhou Kun, if he wasn't a waste, I might have to marry him. Fortunately, he is a waste, giggle..." "Marry him? How could I bear it? At the beginning, if it wasn't for my father..." At this point, Zhou Kun's face suddenly changed slightly and he immediately shut up and didn't say any more. Zhou Peng heard something strange and vaguely felt that the serious illness five years ago was man - made and must have something to do with the great elder Zhou Xiangtian. "There are still a lot of work waiting for me downstairs. Please enjoy your meal, gentlemen." Zhou Peng lowered his head and said respectfully. After saying that, he was about to walk out. At this time, Zhou Kun slapped Zhou Peng on the cheek with a "slap" and said angrily, "Did I let you go?" "Brother Zhou Kun is so powerful." Xiao Ruqian looked at Zhou Kun (infatuatedly), clapping her hands there, very happy. Her behavior was like a stimulant. Zhou Kun slapped him again with a "slap". A burning pain came to his heart. There was a palm print on one side of Zhou Peng's face. He could have avoided the two slaps just now, but he didn't. He didn't want to expose himself, at least not now. He knew that if he exposed his strength now, Zhou Xiangtian would soon know. He had no support. No one in the Zhou family would come out to help him. The only way was to shock the Zhou family at the Autumn Hunting Competition. At that time, Zhou Xiangtian could not deal with him recklessly. Zhou Peng had experienced the pain of endurance more than once. He gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and bit his mouth until it bled... "What a waste. He didn't even make a sound after being slapped twice. Why did my father want me to marry such a coward at the beginning?" Xiao Ruqian mocked and leaned against Zhou Kun's arms very proudly. "Boom, boom, boom..." There was a rush of footsteps. Zhou Peng was startled and knew that it was Meng Lei. Without caring so much, he immediately walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. Zhou Peng had become a complete waste in Zhou Kun's eyes. It would be too demeaning to argue with a waste. When Zhou Peng walked out, he didn't stop him. His mind was now on Xiao Ruqian. He didn't care about Zhou Peng anymore. "Young master, let me go in..." "Even if I die, I'll beat him up." "Young master..."
