Chapter 487 Good Job, Brother Zhang

The atmosphere in the bamboo loft fell silent again.

On one of the railings of the attic, a firefly was attached to the railing. A breeze blew, and its body was faintly glowing with red light.

Kou Zhao saw Duanmiqin was silent, so he sighed in his heart, turned slightly, and looked at Ling Tea Garden through the bamboo window.

The garden is full of vitality and green everywhere.

However, Kou Zhao's heart felt cold again.

Duanmiqin couldn't bear to look at Kou Zhao's lonely back.

"Zhao, you know, I am naturally willing to go with you. But where can we go? My father won't say, but what about my ancestor? If our ancestor comes back from the Starry Sky Battlefield, we can hide in the ends of the earth. The ancestors can also find us."

Duanmiqin felt distressed and helpless.

Who made her fall in love with a member of the Kou family?

Sometimes she also blames her fate.

It would be great if Kou Zhao was not from the Kou family.

Back then, Kou Zhao's father was tricked into borrowing six million spiritual stones from the Duanmu family to repay.

Later, when the deadline came, Kou Zhao's father could not bring out so many spiritual stones to return to the Duanmu family, so he took the risk to secretly dig the 'spiritual crystal veins', and was unfortunately killed in the spiritual crystal veins.

The father's debt must be repaid by the son, and Kou Zhao has no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit caused by his father.

First, the shops passed down by his ancestors were used by the Duanmu family to pay off their debts. Later, Kou Zhao was forced to take on dangerous tasks one after another from the Duanmu family, thereby obtaining a lot of spiritual stones to continue to repay the Duanmu family.

It was also during this period that she, Duanmiqin, was responsible for the debt of the Kou family, and thus had frequent contact with Kou Zhao.

Unexpectedly, after the two had been in contact for a long time, they actually developed a secret love for each other.

After the Duanmu family learned about it, it was naturally impossible for them to agree to the two becoming Taoist couples.

But Duanmuqin insisted on being with Kou Zhao despite his family's opposition.

So later, Patriarch Duanmu spoke and asked Kou Zhao to choose something.

It's just that Duanmiqin is a little confused, why does the family insist on wanting everything in Kou Zhao's hands?

Duanmu Xiong, the ancestor of the Duanmu family, is one of the five generals in the Xuanwu realm. He absolutely crushes the Kou family in terms of strength and status!

So the only thing Duanmiqin could think of was that her ancestor and her father used this as an excuse to prevent her from becoming a Taoist couple with Kou Zhao.

At this time Kou Zhao suddenly turned around and said:

"Qin'er, what you said makes sense. But if I can repay your Duanmu family for the more than four million remaining spiritual stones, won't your father and your ancestors stop making things difficult for us?"

"Zhao, that's more than four million spiritual stones. Where can we get so many spiritual stones?"

Duanmiqin said rather speechlessly.

"I will think of a way. Ask your father, if your father will no longer prevent us from becoming Taoist partners after I repay all the spirit stones, I will collect the spirit stones within two months."

Duanmiqin was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly his face turned worried and said: "Zhao, you must not imitate Uncle Kou, we can't..."

Halfway through his words, Duanmiqin suddenly realized something was wrong and stopped immediately.

A look of pain flashed through Kou Zhao's eyes, then he closed his eyes, waved his hands and said:

"Go and ask your father. If you have any news, tell me immediately."

Duanmiqin knew that she had made a "gaffe". Although she was reluctant to leave, she bit her lip and left the bamboo loft.

After a while, Kou Zhao suddenly lifted the wine jar and started drinking again.

When he burped, before he could put down the wine jar, his expression suddenly changed, and then there was a look of disbelief in his eyes.

He placed the wine jar heavily on the table with a 'bang' and quickly took out a sound-transmitting jade slip...

At night.

The bamboo attic gradually became dark.

Kou Zhao sat cross-legged on the bamboo bed and began to wait quietly.

Until midnight.

A cool breeze suddenly seemed to blow in from the opened bamboo door.

A black figure appeared strangely in the bamboo attic.

"Brother Zhang..."

Kou Zhao was still sitting cross-legged on the bed. Although he was a little excited, he still kept the cross-legged posture without moving.

"Brother Kou, long time no see."

This black figure is none other than Yang Che, who used the jade slip to transmit messages to Kou Zhao during the day.

Yang Che was undoubtedly extremely happy to see Kou Zhao again.

As if he was very familiar with this bamboo loft, Yang Che stretched out his hand and used the gravity technique under the table.

An unopened wine jar floated out and landed silently on the table.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Che moved his palm, and two large bowls were placed on the table.

Then he unceremoniously opened the mud seal, poured a bowl by himself, and drank it all in one gulp.

"What a drink!"

Yang Che couldn't help but admire.

Kou Zhao, who was sitting cross-legged on the bamboo bed, rolled his throat several times and his alcohol addiction was immediately aroused.

"Brother Zhang, didn't you mean to let me..."

Kou Zhao was a little confused.

He followed Yang Che's words exactly and did not dare to bring out any light in the bamboo attic. He also sat cross-legged on the bamboo bed, not daring to move.

Yang Che laughed and filled two large bowls.

"Come down. I have planted formation flags around here. No one can hear us."

"Well done to you, Brother Zhang."

When Kou Zhao heard this, he suddenly smiled.

He jumped out of bed, walked to the table, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one breath.

"Brother Zhang, why are you here suddenly?"

Before Yang Che could speak, Kou Zhao immediately said: "Oh, by the way, this is for you."

A storage bag was placed on the table by Kou Zhao.

Yang Che scanned the bowl with his consciousness and found that it was filled with a lot of agate horns and thousand-bearded silver.

He was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Kou Zhao to help him collect these materials.

"Haha, you are thoughtful. Then I won't be polite."

Yang Che put away the storage bag.

The two of them clinked bowls and drank them. Kou Zhao suddenly said "huh", and then sighed:

"Brother Zhang has become a Yuanying cultivator, and is willing to be brothers with me. Kou is also lucky."

After saying this, there was a slight bitterness.

Yang Che put down the wine bowl and said slowly: "Brother Kou, I see that your state of great perfection in the formation of Dan is very stable. You should have stayed in this state for quite some time, right? Why haven't you impacted the Yuanying stage yet?"

Kou Zhao's face dimmed, as if he was asked about his "pain point".

If it were someone else, Kou Zhao would not want to say more.

But at this moment, facing the former 'lifesaver', and now 'Zhang Gu' who is like a good friend, Kou Zhao hesitated for a moment, and immediately told his 'dilemma'.

After listening to Yang Che, his expression gradually cooled down.

He has confirmed that Kou Zhao did not want to form a baby, but had long wanted to impact the Nascent Soul stage, but he was always monitored by the people of the Duanmu family, and he had no chance to retreat quietly.

The affairs that Kou Zhao was responsible for in the Spirit Tea Garden were 'brewing spirit tea' and 'tasting spirit tea'.

On the surface, it looked very easy, but in fact, he was almost always under the surveillance of the Duanmu family.

The bamboo attic had long been surrounded by formations and prohibitions. Once Kou Zhao wanted to retreat, the people of the Duanmu family would definitely appear to interrupt him.

And if he wanted to leave the Spirit Tea Garden, he would be entangled by the people of the Sikong family.

The purpose of these people is obvious, which is to prevent him from forming a baby.

Kou Zhao thought about leaving countless times, but every time he saw Duanmu Qin's sad look, he couldn't bear it.

The reason for this situation is that the Duanmu family is very sure for some reason that Kou Zhao has not handed over all the things of the Kou family.

When Kou Zhao handed the storage bag containing the most important items of the Kou family to Yang Che, they were both very sure that no one else knew about it. Even to Duanmu Qin, Kou Zhao has not mentioned it to this day.

"Brother Kou, I guess that the Duanmu family has always been entangled in your Kou family's things. Maybe someone among them knows what your Kou family's real valuables are."

Kou Zhao did not show any surprise on his face when he heard this, because he had also guessed this.

At this time, Yang Che said again: "But Brother Kou, let's not verify this for the time being. I dare not stay here for too long because of something important. So next, I will immediately help you to condense your Nascent Soul with all my strength."

Kou Zhao couldn't believe it when he heard it. He was stunned for a while and was speechless for a long time.
