242: Chapter 242 Hou Junshan!

As the leader of the Martial Council, Wu Yue was naturally more than familiar with the Supervisory Order.

The deterrent power of this order was, in some respects, almost greater than that of Jiang Fengnian himself.

Unexpectedly, at their first meeting, Jiang Fengnian had handed over the Supervisory Order to Zhou Yu.

This was simply inconceivable.

In doing so, Zhou Yu’s status and position in Qin State’s territory had skyrocketed in an instant, placing him almost at the pinnacle of the local hierarchy.

Zhou Yu, glancing at the Supervisory Order in Jiang Fengnian’s hand and then at the shocked expression on Wu Yue’s face, immediately realized that this order had to be extraordinary.

Of course, he also understood a principle.

The more extraordinary something is, the greater the price one must pay for it.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

After some thought, Zhou Yu said,

“Vice Minister Jiang, I appreciate your kindness, but I would rather not accept the Supervisory Order.

I have no intentions of joining the Martial Council.”

Jiang Fengnian shook his head, smiling,

“Taking this token doesn’t mean you have to join the Martial Council.

Holding it comes with no limitations; on the contrary, it can provide you with significant help.”

“As far as I know, you’ve made quite a few enemies already.”

Jiang Fengnian looked at Zhou Yu with a meaningful gaze.

Wu Yue also spoke up to persuade,

“Zhou Yu, just take it.

This is a priceless treasure that others can’t even beg for.”

“With it, at least the people of the Martial Council wouldn’t dare to be your enemy, and they could even be put to your use.”

Hearing this, Zhou Yu’s eyes lit up.

If that was the case, it did sound quite appealing.

He didn’t continue to refuse.

“Then I will accept it.”

After securing the Supervisory Order, Zhou Yu suddenly remembered something and asked,

“By the way, Vice Minister Jiang, have you ever heard of someone called the ‘Taiping Taoist’?”

Jiang Fengnian looked puzzled.

“Taiping Taoist?

Never heard of him.”

“Wu Yue, do you know?”

Wu Yue furrowed his brow in thought, then shook his head,

“Is that his real name?

If it is, I’ve never heard of it.”

Zhou Yu could not help but laugh wryly.

The name ‘Taiping Taoist’ might just be a pseudonym Xu Zhi and Tian Hong made up for the man.

Just relying on these four characters to find that person seemed somewhat unrealistic.

“I’m not sure if it’s his real name, either.”

“Never mind, it’s nothing.”

Zhou Yu said, shaking his head with a smile.

After a few more minutes of conversation, Zhou Yu got up to leave.

Wu Yue arranged for someone to escort Zhou Yu back to the Lin Family.

On the way back, he received a phone call from Xu Qingqing.

“Zhou Yu, do you have some free time now?”

“Yes, what’s up?”

“Well, my dad invited my uncle over to our place.”

“He wants to see if you’re available to help us confirm whether my uncle was the one who messed with Xu Zhi and Tian Hong!”

Zhou Yu had previously suspected that the person who attacked Xu Zhi and Tian Hong shared similar methods to the person who went after Xu Qingqing.

Now that he couldn’t find the Taiping Taoist, perhaps he could uncover something from Xu Qingqing’s situation.

Without hesitation, he responded,

“Okay, I’ll be right over.”

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yu instructed the driver to take him to the Xu Family.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the Xu Family’s entrance.

Xu Zongnian and Xu Qingqing personally welcomed him at the door.

“Mr.

Zhou, thank you very much for coming to our Xu Family; once again, we have to bother you,” Xu Zongnian said with a smile.

Zhou Yu waved his hand.

“No problem.”

“Is he here yet?”

Xu Zongnian hastily replied,

“Not yet, but he should be arriving any moment.”

“Mr.

Zhou, Qingqing went out of her way to cook some dishes today.

Let’s go inside and try them,” Xu Zongnian said, emphasizing the words “out of her way.”

Beside him, Xu Qingqing’s cheeks instantly flushed with color.

“Sure,” Zhou Yu said with a smile.

Coming to the dining room, he saw the sumptuous spread laid out on the table.

Zhou Yu looked impressed.

“It looks very appetizing.”

With a blush, Xu Qingqing spoke,

“Then have a taste and see how it is.”

“Sure.”

Zhou Yu didn’t hold back and sat down to taste the food.

Xu Zongnian and Xu Qingqing sat on either side of him.

Xu Qingqing’s cooking skills were indeed excellent.

The taste could rival that of dishes from a five-star hotel, with an added unique charm of its own

As Zhou Yu enjoyed the meal, a hearty laugh came from outside the door.

“Old Xu, sorry for being late; the traffic was a bit heavy.”

Following this, a burly man walked in.

Xu Zongnian gave Zhou Yu a knowing look, then stood up and said with a smile,

“Old Hou, we’ve been waiting for you.

You’re late, so you’ll have to take a penalty drink.”

The man named Hou laughed heartily, “No problem.”

As he approached the dining table and saw Zhou Yu, he paused.

“Who is this?”

Xu Zongnian introduced with a smile,

“He’s Qingqing’s boyfriend, Zhou Yu.”

Hearing Xu Zongnian call Zhou Yu her boyfriend, Xu Qingqing’s cheeks flew up with another blush.

“Zhou Yu, this is Qingqing’s uncle by marriage, Hou Junshan.”

Zhou Yu said politely,

“Uncle Hou, hello.”

Hou Junshan looked at Zhou Yu curiously and said with a smile,

“Qingqing has had a hard life, being ill for so long.

Now she’s finally recovered, and as her boyfriend, you must treat her well.

If you let Qingqing suffer, I won’t let you off easily.”

Zhou Yu looked into Hou Junshan’s eyes deeply before responding.

“Uncle Hou, rest assured, I won’t let Qingqing suffer.”

“Hahaha, that’s good to hear.”

After Hou Junshan took his seat, everyone began to eat and drink.

During the meal, taking advantage of a moment when Hou Junshan went to the restroom, Xu Zongnian quickly asked,

“Mr.

Zhou, is it him?”

Zhou Yu nodded his head.

“It’s him.”

Xu Zongnian’s face darkened as he was about to burst out,

But Zhou Yu stopped him.

“Family Head Xu, no need to rush.

His abilities seem average, not like someone who could execute such sophisticated sorcery.

There must be someone else behind him.”
