Chapter 1202 Uninvited Guests
As night fell, the Zhou Mansion set up a banquet, and all the core members of the Zhou family gathered together.
Zhou Xiuna's recovery of spirit was a big deal for the entire Zhou Mansion. Now everyone in the Zhou Mansion was overjoyed and toasted to celebrate.
Chen Yang sat next to Zhou Xiuna, and toasted with everyone under the identity of Dong Ri.
He told Zhou Xiuna not to reveal his identity, and just said that he was an alchemist named Dong Ri.
The name Dong Ri was taken from the right half of the two characters Chen Yang. Although it might be related to Chen Yang, it would not be so easy to find Chen Yang's identity if he was not intentionally investigated.
Now, he still has to conceal his identity and give people the illusion that he is dead.
At that time, he will give Li Yuhao and Chu Ningshan a fatal blow.
"Brother Dong Ri, when you come, my cousin is in high spirits. You are a panacea. Come, I'll toast you a glass, please!"
A Zhou family member walked up to Chen Yang with a wine glass and raised his glass.
Chen Yang finished the wine in his glass, and then someone came up to toast him.
These guys seemed to be clearly trying to get Chen Yang drunk, take off his mask, and see his true face.
Chen Yang accepted everyone who came and got busy.
Seeing this, Zhou Kun whispered to Zhou Xiuna: "Nana, who is this person? Why do you get excited when he appears?"
Zhou Xiuna smiled mysteriously and said: "Father, didn't you say that you were worried about the spiritual fire? Hehe, now, I will give you a surprise."
"Guests are coming!"
Before Zhou Xiuna finished her words, there was a servant's shout outside.
Then, three men walked in with a dragon-like step. They were so powerful that they immediately attracted all the attention of the banquet. Everyone looked over.
Chen Yang was no exception.
He found that the people who came were none other than the three brothers of the He family. No wonder they were so powerful.
These three people were He Jukuang, He Juming, and He Juxie.
The head of the family, He Juba, did not show up.
Seeing the three brothers of the He family appear, Zhou Kunzheng narrowed his eyes, raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, and shouted: "It turns out that the brothers of the He family are here. Visitors are guests. Come on, take a seat."
The relationship between the Zhou family and the He family is not as good as before.
After the Taoyuan Martial Arts Conference, the reason why the Zhou family did not lend resources to the He family was not because they were taking advantage of the situation, but because the He family wanted 80% of their resources, which was simply a lion's mouth, wanting to swallow up the Zhou family.
As the head of the Zhou family, Zhou Kunzheng would certainly not agree.
If he agreed, he would simply forget his ancestors and pass on the ancestral foundation to his generation.
After that incident, he and the He family completely broke up.
In the past, he still accommodated the He family, but now he found that the more he accommodated those guys, the sharper their fangs and the bigger their appetites, and they could not satisfy their desires at all.
So, later Zhou Kunzheng simply stopped associating with the He family.
But today, three people from the He family suddenly came to the Jindan realm, and the situation did not look good.
After He Juming, He Jukuang, and He Juxie sat down at Zhou Kunzheng's table, there were only Chen Yang and Zhou Xiuna left at the table besides Zhou Kunzheng, Zhou Kunfang, Zhou Kunyuan, and three members of the He family.
The atmosphere was not as warm as before, and everyone glanced at the three people from the He family from time to time. No one knew why these three people came.
After He Juming and the other two exchanged pleasantries with Zhou Kunzheng, He Juming spoke up and talked about the topic.
He showed concern on his face and asked, "Master Zhou, I heard that your spinal disease is getting more and more painful. I wonder if you have found a solution?"
Hearing this, Zhou Kunzheng's face became colder. He Juming knew that he needed earth fire to treat it, and he deliberately said this, which was simply mocking him.
Without waiting for Zhou Kunzheng to speak, He Juming continued: "Master Zhou, to be honest, I came here this time on the orders of my eldest brother to convey a message."
Zhou Kunzheng said: "What message?"
He Juming said: "My eldest brother said that the Earth Fire can be lent to you for you to use to treat your stubborn illness."
Hearing this, Zhou Kunzheng raised his eyebrows and looked at He Juming suspiciously.
He was not in a hurry to be happy, because he knew that the people of the He family would never be so kind.
He asked: "He Juming, tell me, what are the conditions?"
"Hehe!"
He Juming smiled, with a sinister light flashing in his eyes, and said: "Master Zhou is indeed an open-minded person. We are open-minded people. We will lend you the Earth Fire. Your Zhou family will give 50% of the resources to our He family."
"50% resources!" Zhou Kunzheng's face changed, and he said angrily: "He Juming, you are just wishful thinking."
Everyone heard the conversation between the two and fell silent, looking at He Juming.
He Juming was not angry at all. He shrugged and sneered: "Zhou Kunzheng, we know your situation very well. If you don't save yourself as soon as possible, you will definitely not live for more than a month. Is the life of a middle-stage Jindan more important, or is the resource more important?"
Hearing this, everyone in the Zhou family changed their faces and focused their eyes on Zhou Kunzheng.
Zhou Kunfang said anxiously: "Brother, what He Juming said is true, you will not live for more than a month?"
Zhou Kunzheng was silent for a while, then nodded slowly: "Yes!"
Hearing this, the Zhou family was in a haze, and everyone frowned.
Zhou Kunzheng did not tell anyone about this matter, and no one knew that his situation was so serious.
If the He family hadn't suddenly visited and He Juming hadn't told them about the situation, perhaps, even if Zhou Kunzheng had suddenly died, no one would know what had happened.
Zhou Kunyuan stared at Zhou Kunzheng and said in a deep voice: "Brother, your life is more important than resources. If you lose resources, you can get them again, but if you die, you can't save them. 50% of the resources, that's 50% of the resources. As long as I can save you, anything is fine."
Zhou Kunzheng said solemnly: "How can I give away 50% of the family's resources for my own selfish interests? And as the head of the family, I should set an example and not be selfish."
Zhou Kunfang advised: "Brother, how can this be said to be for selfish interests? You are in the middle stage of the Jindan, and your importance to the family is much greater than resources. 50% of the Zhou family's resources may not be enough to train you. But now, 50% of the resources can be used to exchange for your life. Why not?"
Hearing the two people's persuasion, Zhou Kunzheng wavered.
Then, all the people in the Zhou family persuaded Zhou Kunzheng to agree to He Juming's deal.
Obviously, the Zhou family is still very cohesive.
Zhou Kun was thinking for a while, and felt that what Zhou Kunfang said made sense, so he nodded and said to He Juming: "Okay, I agree to the deal."
"Hehe!"
Unexpectedly, He Juming chuckled and said: "Sorry, it was 50% just now, but now... this much."
As he said that, He Juming stretched out seven fingers.
