Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 64 - Mother’s Identity

“Perhaps!” Ruan Jiaying said with a noncommittal smile, “I’m asking Young Master Zhou to give it a try!”

Zhou Heng did not believe that Heavenly Treasure Pavilion would go to such lengths to find their so-called master.

If one were to think about it, who possessing wealth enough to rival nations and immense power would eagerly seek another to be their master?

Rather than believing there truly existed such a benevolent person in this world, it seemed more likely there was some scheme at play!

Last time, Black Sword had acted of its own accord, not giving him a chance to interfere, but now things were different.

He had reached the Gathering Spirit Realm and his level of control over the Black Sword had greatly enhanced.

“Then let’s give it a try!” Zhou Heng agreed.

Now that Heavenly Treasure Pavilion had sought him out, if he refused, would his opponent really give up?

Better to agree openly than to wait for them to make a move in the shadows.

Ruan Jiaying showed a satisfied smile, waved her hand and a maidservant immediately brought over a platter.

On it was still a foot-long pillar, crystal clear and segmented into three parts.

“If it breaks again, there’s no need for compensation, right?” Zhou Heng asked first.

Ruan Jiaying couldn’t help but smile wryly, “No need for compensation!”

“Then I can rest assured!” Zhou Heng reached out to grab the Spirit Crystal Pillar, a familiar feeling swept over him, and when the sensation reached his Dantian, he forcibly suppressed Black Sword while the dual Bloodline Powers automatically reacted, surging towards the Spirit Crystal Pillar.

Hum, the Spirit Crystal Pillar first flashed a golden light, illuminating the lowest segment of the crystal, then the golden light faded, turning into a violet glow, like a raging flame, similarly lighting up only the bottom segment of the pillar.

The two types of light kept changing until Zhou Heng let go, and only then did the light begin to dim.

“Fire Series and Golden Light, double Bloodline Powers…

both Three Stars Human Spirit Body!” murmured Ruan Jiaying, her expression less shock than disappointment, because what she had hoped to see differed greatly from what actually appeared.

“Could I have been mistaken last time?” she wondered silently to herself.

“Thank you for the trouble, Young Master Zhou!” Ruan Jiaying managed to force a smile, clearly displaying the sense of desolation on her face.

This woman, her schemes run deep!

Zhou Heng felt a chill in his heart; this woman was far from as disappointed as she appeared, but was purposely showing such a pitiful demeanor to soften his heart!

This meant that she hadn’t given up but was now even more suspicious of him!

I really want to spank her!

Zhou Heng was quite unhappy; he disliked the feeling of being watched in secret, but alas, he was currently not in a position to challenge Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, so this thought remained just that—wishful thinking.

Lin Fuxiang, who saw Zhou Heng’s expression, knew what he was thinking as someone who had been there before, she couldn’t help but be annoyed, thinking to herself that this little lecher definitely had his sights on Ruan Jiaying.

“Miss Ruan, if there’s nothing else, we shall take our leave!” said Lin Fuxiang to Ruan Jiaying politely, but even an idiot could hear the distance in her tone.

“Please,” Ruan Jiaying looked meaningfully at Lin Fuxiang, stood up, and saw Zhou Heng and his companion out.

“Humph!” Once outside, Lin Fuxiang glared at Zhou Heng resentfully and left on her own.

What was that all about?

Zhou Heng shook his head, returned to his own courtyard, and continued to cultivate his Swift Cloud Radiant Step and Bright Jade Technique.

His life did not remain peaceful; not only did Lin Fuxiang come every day to cause trouble, Ruan Jiaying also invited him over for tea from time to time, arousing the envy of the other sect disciples.

Two days later, a visitor from Black Water Hall arrived.

The Nine Spirit Sect suddenly had two geniuses emerge, one who had already crossed the path of ascension and the other striving to break through.

Even Black Water Hall was astonished and immediately negotiated with Nine Spirit Sect wanting to recruit these two individuals.

Though reluctant, Nine Spirit Sect did not have the standing to refuse.

For Nine Spirit Sect, it was also an opportunity—if Zhou Heng and Jing Tian were to succeed in their future cultivations, they would still be recognized as products of Nine Spirit Sect, would they not remember their old ties?

Jing Tian was a Direct Disciple of Lin Jianchen.

In a world where martial prowess was revered, respect for one’s master was also a core tenet; Jing Tian would certainly not betray Nine Spirit Sect.

On the contrary, Zhou Heng was more of a problem.

This young genius had reached the Gathering Spirit Realm in just half a year after joining Nine Spirit Sect, hardly giving the sect a chance to nurture him!

Zhou Heng had not become the disciple of any elder, hence his connection to the sect couldn’t possibly be that strong.

Fortunately, it seemed that this genius had a special relationship with Miss Lin, and he might even become Nine Spirit Sect’s son-in-law in the future.

Disciples and sons-in-law can be considered half-sons, so close it couldn’t get any closer.

Therefore, even though the people of Nine Spirit Sect were initially a bit reluctant, once they thought it through and understood this point, they had no more objections.

In fact, they couldn’t wait for Zhou Heng and the other to leave quickly, hoping they would return after cultivating an unparalleled divine technique to preside over the sect.

After some consideration, Zhou Heng also accepted the invitation.

Only by reaching a higher level could he obtain greater room for development.

After all, Fengyu City was too small, and it lacked enough experts for him to slay.

However, before that, he had to meet with Zhou Dinghai first.

Zhou Heng requested ten days’ leave and returned to Origin Stone Town, where he intended to have a long talk with his father.

It was evident that Zhou Dinghai had a significant secret hidden in his heart.

“Hey, why are you following me?” Zhou Heng turned to look at the beautiful girl at his side.

“Miss is happy, what’s it to you?” Lin Fuxiang huffed.

“Is your butt itchy again?” Zhou Heng smoothed his sleeve.

“Ah—” Lin Fuxiang hurriedly protected her buttocks with her hands, fearing if Zhou Heng spanked her here on the street, she would truly die of embarrassment.

Zhou Heng laughed heartily and continued towards the Zhou Family house.

“Young Master Heng!”

“Young Master Heng!”

Once inside the Zhou Family residence, whether they were the Zhou Family’s servants or the clan members, everyone spoke to Zhou Heng with respect.

Naturally, this master had even slaughtered Zhou Xianming of the Body Refining Twelfth Layer; who wouldn’t treat him with the utmost deference?

The peerless beauty of Lin Fuxiang made everyone stare openly; limited by the scale of Origin Stone Town, they had never seen such a high-level beauty.

But since Lin Fuxiang came with Zhou Heng, they only dared to steal glances with their eyes.

Lin Fuxiang was quite pleased with this, as it proved that Miss Lin’s charm was sufficiently powerful!

Zhou Heng took two steps at a time and quickly arrived at his own place, calling out loudly, “Dad, I’m back!”

“Heng’er!” Zhou Dinghai also came out at the sound, hugging Zhou Heng tightly, his face unable to hide his excitement.

His gaze swept over Lin Fuxiang, and he paused, then revealed a knowing smile, “Heng’er, won’t you introduce me to her?”

“Oh, she insisted on following me; pay her no mind!” Zhou Heng was eager to discuss important matters with Zhou Dinghai and pushed Lin Fuxiang to the side.

“You…

Zhou Heng, don’t spout nonsense!” Lin Fuxiang initially wanted to scold him as a little rascal or brat but, remembering Zhou Dinghai was present, she quickly suppressed the urge and sweetly smiled at Zhou Dinghai, “Uncle Zhou, my name is Lin Fuxiang, I’m Zhou Heng’s friend!”

Zhou Dinghai looked Lin Fuxiang over, his face revealing a satisfied smile.

He thought to himself how good his son’s eye for people was; not only was this girl beautiful, but her temperament was also top-notch!

“Come, come, sit inside!” He gestured for Zhou Heng and Lin Fuxiang to enter the house and sit down.

After settling down, Zhou Heng recounted his experiences over the past few months, which both shocked and delighted Zhou Dinghai.

He hadn’t expected Zhou Heng to have walked the path of ascension so quickly and become a Spirit Gathering Realm expert.

This step taken truly meant leaving the realm of mortals behind!

The father and son talked until midnight.

Although Lin Fuxiang yawned repeatedly, she stayed beside them the whole time, which annoyed Zhou Heng; he thought, when a father and son are having a heart-to-heart, why are you meddling?

However, Zhou Dinghai was quite pleased, holding his prospective daughter-in-law in even higher regard.

In the end, Lin Fuxiang was persuaded by Zhou Dinghai to rest in the guest room.

Only Zhou Heng and his father were left in the room, and the atmosphere gradually became colder.

“Heng’er, I know you have questions.

Don’t worry, I will tell you everything today!” Zhou Dinghai looked at his sharp-edged son, a trace of affection flashing in his eyes.

“Your mother, she’s still alive!”

“What!”

Zhou Heng leapt to his feet, stunned by Zhou Dinghai’s groundbreaking first statement.

“Don’t interrupt, let father tell you everything from the beginning to the end!” While Zhou Dinghai said this, his eyes showed a trace of confusion, as if he was immersed in memories of the past.

After a long while, he began to speak slowly, “Your mother was not a native of Origin Stone Town; she fled here when she was thirteen years old.

At that time, I was only fifteen, and because I helped her with a few meals, we became good friends.”

“As we grew older, we developed feelings for each other, got married, and then we had you!”

“I thought we’d live happily as a family, but I never expected—”

“Your mother is not an ordinary person, she is a young princess from the noble Zhao Family of the Bright Moon Dynasty!

The Zhao Family faced calamity that almost led to their annihilation overnight, with clan members scattered.

Your mother also fled during that time to the Cold Blue Country and ultimately arrived in Origin Stone Town.”

“However, there was a prodigy in the Zhao Family named Zhao Duotian, who quickly restored the family’s prestige and took the Zhao Family to new heights!”

“When you were two years old, he found your mother and took her back to the Zhao Family.”

“He is your uncle!”
