The Rise Of The Tamer Family

Chapter 278: Zhou Muchun’s Test

Translator: 549690339

While Zhou Yinglan was in a state of ecstasy, Zhou Muchun and Zhou Tianli started chatting.

The content of this conversation sounded ordinary.

But whether it was Chen Yang or Zhou Tianli, they were both very cautious in their answers. Who knew what kind of sword was hidden inside?

After chatting for about ten minutes, Zhou Muchun suddenly asked,””Oh right, I heard that the Ghost Fiend Sect went to Chen City to take revenge on the Chen Family?”

“Although the Chen family won this time, they didn’t lose anything, right? The Chen Clan is a rising star in our Great Gan. Every member of the clan is a treasure, and we can’t afford to lose them.”

Hearing Zhou Muchun’s question, Chen Yang didn’t reveal anything on the surface, but he understood in his heart that Zhou Muchun’s probing had begun.

On the surface, he was concerned about the Chen family’s losses, but in fact, he was still probing the Chen family’s secrets.

Immediately, a pained expression flashed across Chen Yang’s face, but it was quickly covered up.” A mere heretic practitioner is nothing. My Chen family did not suffer any losses. Thank you for your concern, Ancestor.””

The pained expression that flashed across Yang Chen’s face was captured by Zhou Muchun. Immediately, Zhou Muchun smiled and said,””It’s good that there are no losses.”

“Lord Chen, although everyone has the right to kill evil cultivators, when it comes to serving justice, you still have to pay attention to your own safety.”

“Don’t cause damage to your own family because of a false reputation. That would be the pain of your loved ones and the joy of your enemies.”

Is this a warning to me…

Yang Chen smiled and nodded.” Thank you for your concern, Patriarch. I understand what you mean.” Ancestor, don’t worry. I won’t joke around with the lives of my clansmen.”

“It’s good that you know.” Zhou Muchun laughed.

Chen Yang was a smart person, so he naturally understood what he meant.

In the following period of time, everyone began to chat again. It was as if the question just now was just one of the many casual conversations that Zhou Muchun had asked on the spur of the moment.

An hour later, Zhou Muchun smiled and said,””Let’s stop here today. You must have your own things to do, so I won’t delay you any longer.”

Hearing this, Zhou Tianli and Chen Yang looked at each other. They could see the confusion in each other’s calm eyes.

Could it be that Zhou Muchun’s probing was only this little?

But since Zhou Muchun wanted them to leave, they were naturally unwilling to stay any longer.

The longer they stayed, the more things they would be exposed.

“We’ll take our leave.””

“Okay, go ahead.” Zhou Muchun laughed.

Seeing this, the two of them walked towards the main door together. When they were about to reach the main door, Zhou Muchun’s voice sounded again.

“Wait a minute. Look at my brain. How could 1 forget something important?”

Hearing this, the two of them stopped in their tracks and turned to look at Zhou Muchun.

Seeing the two of them turn around, Zhou Muchun smiled and said,””Has the flood dragon demon emperor been well-behaved these past few years?

According to the rate at which the demon beasts reproduce, I’m afraid that the demon tide will come again. You have to guard Jiang Prefecture.”

This question…

Yang Chen knew that Zhou Muchun was testing him again.

The content of the test was the strength of the Chen family.

If the flood dragon demon emperor was too honest, it meant that the Chen family had enough power to make the flood dragon demon emperor yield.

And after learning of this information, Zhou Muchun would definitely focus on dealing with the Chen Clan, eliminating the danger of the Chen Clan first.

After thinking it through, Yang Chen was about to reply. However, he suddenly remembered that the royal family’s ancestor had never asked why Zhou Tianli had a treasure to hide his strength.

Could it be that he had really guessed it correctly?

What kind of treasure did the royal family’s ancestor have that could pierce through the concealment and directly see the strength of a martial artist?

If that was the case, he couldn’t give such an answer.

” Why? Is there a problem?” Seeing that Yang Chen did not reply for a long time, Zhou Muchun asked again with a strange smile on his face.

“Oh, no, nothing.” Yang Chen shook his head repeatedly, and a trace of confusion appeared on his face.” Overall, there’s no problem.””

“If there’s no problem overall, does that mean there’s still a problem?”Zhou Muchun’s eyes narrowed as he stared intently into Yang Chen’s eyes.” Tell me, what exactly happened?””

“We can’t be careless about the demon tide. This is a natural disaster that is even cruder than the evil cultivators ’disaster.”

Faced with Zhou Muchun’s question, Chen Yang seemed to be a little flustered.” There hasn’t been a large-scale demon wave in Jiang Prefecture. Even if there is, the danger isn’t great. Please rest assured, Patriarch.””

“As for the flood dragon demon emperor, he is generally quite honest and has not done anything out of line.”

Seeing Yang Chen’s reply, Zhou Muchun smiled and said,””That’s good. You guys can leave.”

“Yes, sir.”

After returning to his own pavilion, Zhou Tianli first looked around the pavilion to make sure that no one was eavesdropping on him before sending Zhou Yingzhao out.

When only Zhou Tianli and Chen Yang were left in the pavilion, Zhou Tianli couldn’t help but ask,””Disciple, why did you answer like that just now?”

“We can’t hide the demon wave at all. Just tell the truth. In any case, there really hasn’t been a large-scale demon wave.”

“Why did you say such ambiguous words? Isn’t that just raising suspicion?”

Yang Chen didn’t answer Zhou Tianli’s question,””Master, the ancestor seems to have discovered your strength.”

“Have you discovered my strength?”” How is that possible?” Zhou Tianli asked in puzzlement.” I’ve already brought along a treasure to hide my strength.””

“It’s normal. After all, the sect behind it comes from outside the Endless Mountains. It’s not surprising that it has treasures that are more powerful than the Li family.”

“The evidence is that in the nearly one-hour conversation, the ancestor did not ask about your strength at all.”

“This is obviously not normal. It’s only because he saw through your strength that he didn’t specifically ask.”

“Forefather’s goal is to make us think that we haven’t been exposed, so that we can take some initiative in the following plan.”Yang Chen said.

Hearing Yang Chen’s words, Zhou Tianli’s expression turned serious,””If that’s the case, then we’re in a passive position.”

“It’s nothing. If we make good use of it, we might be able to make the ancestor think that master’s strength is our last trump card.”Yang Chen smiled.

“That’s why you said that on purpose. Your goal is to make the ancestor think that our final trump card is my strength.”Zhou Tianli said in realization.

“That’s right. I did that because I wanted to lure the Patriarch into thinking that it was because of you, Master, that the demon horde didn’t erupt.”

“At the same time, because your strength is not comparable to the flood dragon demon emperor, the flood dragon demon emperor is constantly moving.”Yang Chen smiled.

After hearing Yang Chen’s words, Zhou Tianli excitedly hammered his palms,” Brilliant! Truly brilliant!””

“Master, don’t worry. These two words of mine aren’t enough to convince the ancestor.”Yang Chen smiled..
