Chapter 476: Chapter 476: Family Banquet!

On the other side.

Zhou Yu was unaware of the events happening at the Dong Family.

After having dinner with Shui Tianyue, he dropped her off at her home.

At night, Zhou Yu continued to practice the Golden Cauldron Technique and the Blood Armor Technique, but no matter how he practiced, the integration of these two techniques always fell one step short.

This bothered Zhou Yu immensely.

It seemed that he must find a century-old Golden Yuan Fruit to use its medicinal power to break through the last barrier.

Early the next morning, as Zhou Yu was cultivating, suddenly, his cell phone rang.

Zhou Yu opened his eyes and saw that it was a call from Elder Zhao Jianlong.

"Xiaoyu, the Dong Family has sent over a large batch of Spiritual Medicine, saying it was per your instructions and delivered to me."

"What’s this about?"

Zhou Yu’s spirits lifted.

"Yes, it was I who had them send it over."

"Elder Zhao, could you help me check if there’s any Golden Yuan Fruit among them?"

Zhao Jianlong nodded.

"No problem."

"I’ll have someone count them immediately."

"By the way, Xiaoyu, what’s with the Dong Family? Why would they suddenly send you so much Spiritual Medicine?" Elder Zhao asked curiously.

Zhou Yu briefly explained the situation with the Dong Family to Zhao Jianlong.

After hearing this, Zhao Jianlong was stunned.

The Dong Family was much stronger than the Zhao Family.

He had not expected that Zhou Yu had nearly consumed them in one gulp...

It was too unbelievable.

Zhao Jianlong took a deep breath.

"Xiaoyu, you truly... You’ve shocked me. The mighty Dong Family has fallen!"

"With Shui Tianyue around, the Dong Family won’t fall, but, the Dong Family must undergo a complete transformation."

Zhou Yu had a lot of confidence in Shui Tianyue’s management abilities.

After chatting for a bit, the medicines were counted, and Zhao Jianlong sighed.

"Xiaoyu, there’s no Golden Yuan Fruit here."

"However, the people below reported there’s a type of Spiritual Medicine called Golden Spirit Fruit. The name sounds quite close; can it be a substitute?"

"Golden Spirit Fruit?"

Zhou Yu was taken aback.

The Golden Spirit Fruit was just one word off from the Golden Yuan Fruit, but their effects were vastly different.

The Golden Yuan Fruit was for strengthening the power of flesh and blood, whereas the Golden Spirit Fruit was for strengthening the Sea of Divine Sense.

This Golden Spirit Fruit was also a good thing.

"Elder Zhao, it can’t replace it, but I can use the Golden Spirit Fruit too. How about this, I’ll come over to your place later."

"Alright."

"And Fei’er keeps talking about you every day," Zhao Jianlong said with a chuckle.

"By the way, do you need the Golden Yuan Fruit urgently? Shall I ask around through other channels for you?"

Zhou Yu nodded.

"That would be great, thank you, Elder Zhao."

"Family doesn’t talk in two voices."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yu called Ding Hao to inquire about the Golden Yuan Fruit, but Ding Hao also had no news for the time being.

Zhou Yu sighed.

He remembered the old man had mentioned that this item was quite rare; Zhou Yu had not taken it to heart at that time.

But now it seemed, for the old man to call something a rare item, it truly was out of the ordinary.

It appeared that he needed to ask more people to help in the search.

Zhou Yu let the people in Wu City and Yu City know to help him look for it.

Just as he was about to call Qin Dingbang, an incoming call suddenly arrived.

It turned out to be from Qin Lan.

"I was just about to call you. I didn’t expect you to call first," Zhou Yu said with a smile.

Qin Lan was elated.

"You, such a busy man, still have time to call me?"

"What? Do you need something from me?"

Zhou Yu laughed and said,

"There is one thing that I need your dad’s help with."

"Just say it, what is it? I’ll promise on my dad’s behalf," Qin Lan replied generously.

This girl didn’t even ask what it was before agreeing.

She really isn’t concerned about the particulars.

"I need help finding a medicinal ingredient named ’Golden Yuan Fruit,’ and it needs to be more than a hundred years old."

"The sooner, the better."

"Is that all?"

"Simple, I just need to tell my dad’s secretary to prioritize it."

"Good, then thank you," Zhou Yu said with a laugh.

"Are you only going to thank me with words?" Qin Lan suddenly asked, her tone becoming a bit shy.

Zhou Yu was taken aback.

"What do you mean?"

"Are you inviting me to dinner?"

"Humph, I don’t want you to take me to dinner," she retorted.

"Actually, I have a favor to ask of you, too, and you can’t refuse."

Zhou Yu paused, then revealed a bitter smile.

Just now, he had thought this girl had a carefree heart, but she had been waiting for him.

Truly the daughter of the richest man.

"What is it?" he asked.

"There’s a family banquet at our house tomorrow night, can you come?"

"Eating together? No problem," Zhou Yu readily agreed.

"I should tell you in advance that this banquet is being held because a distant relative is visiting our house. My dad had no choice but to arrange it. However, the real intention of that distant relative is to form a marital alliance with our family. So, by inviting you, I need you to help me turn them away. It’s not just about having a meal."

Zhou Yu hesitated momentarily, then said,

"There is a saying, ’One would rather destroy a bridge than break up a marriage.’ If your family has arranged a marriage for you, isn’t it inappropriate for me to interfere?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Lan exploded.

"Zhou Yu!!!"

"Do you really want to watch me marry someone I don’t like?"

"Are you really going to stand by and do nothing?"

"Are you truly that heartless and uncaring?" she demanded indignantly.

Zhou Yu was speechless.

What on earth was all this about?

He just made an offhand comment, and it was like lighting a powder keg.

"Wuu-wuu—"

"Anyway, if you’re going to stand by and watch me marry someone I don’t like, then I might as well be dead," she said and immediately started crying.

Zhou Yu felt utterly helpless.

"Stop, stop."

"I agree, alright?" he conceded as soon as she finished speaking, and instantly, Qin Lan’s mood brightened.

"Haha, you said it yourself, so it’s settled. I’ll pick you up tomorrow night."

"Don’t stand me up."

With that, she hung up the phone before Zhou Yu had a chance to respond.

Zhou Yu just stood there, dumbfounded.

After a short while, he came to his senses.

"Ah, I’ve been had!"

Just as Zhou Yu gave a wry smile, his phone rang again.

It was from Xun Zheng.

Zhou Yu paused, then answered the call.

Xun Zheng sounded anxious.

"Mr. Zhou, there’s trouble. The second son of the Letian Association is organizing a meeting with various powers in Qinzhou, including emissaries from the Punishment Hall, the Liu Family, Gao Family, and Lin Family. They are planning to join forces against you."
