A week after Zhou Lan's inauguration event ended. The guests present at the party were still wondering about the latest news Zhou Lan had arrested during her inauguration party.
After a long wait, the news of Zhou Lan's life imprisonment spread throughout the Han Empire. The Zhou family was devastated when they accepted the reality they were facing.
As a proper punishment, the Zhou family was relegated from sitting as a distinguished family, the Zhou family was exiled to the countryside and allowed to live as ordinary citizens.
Zhou Shiyue who heard him was quite satisfied but his heart was moved considering Zhou Nana who was the only one from the Zhou family who used to treat him well.
With that Zhou Shiyue met Zhou Nana and asked the girl to stay at the Xuanjun peak even though she herself had not asked the opinion of her teacher who was the original owner of the place.
Unfortunately Zhou Nana refused and insisted on following his extended family living in the village. The girl did not blame Zhou Shiyue at all even though she knew that Zhou Shiyue was the mastermind of everything that had happened.
Before Zhou Nana went to the village, the girl apologized sincerely to Zhou Shiyue for the bad treatment her family had been receiving.
Zhou Shiyue heard all Zhou Nana said he could only shut up and nodded. In addition, he can only hope that the life of the good girl he already considers his sister will be good.
Likewise with Zhou Shen Shi who had given up all the bad treatment of the Zhou family to him in the past. After all, he had not thought too much about the family anymore, let's just say that the General had forgiven them.
“Finally the Zhou family got their reply.” Zhou Shen Shi
“Yes, I feel relieved about this.” Said Zhou Shiyue.
The two brothers chatted with each other in the palace gazebo, Zhou Shiyue indeed wanted to meet her brother before leaving to finish her other affairs.
Now that Zhou Shiyue's next goal was to dig about his parents, he wanted to find out the truth that had been confusing him all along. But the first thing he did was look for that woman named Xixi.
“So don't you remember that mother's girlfriend named Xixi?” Zhou Shiyue began to dig up information from the person he thought he could most expect information from.
“Why are you asking about aunt Xixi?” Zhou Shen Shi frowned in surprise.
“I have my own reasons, can you just tell me.” Answer Zhou Shiyue.
“Alright.” Zhou Shen Shi could only sigh heavily assuringly.
“Not many things I know about Aunt Xixi, I only met her a few times when I was a kid. All I remember is our father and mother calling him Xixi. But I know it's not his real name” Zhou Shen Shi said.
“Say the obvious, don't be convoluted I don't understand.” Said Zhou Shiyue
“Hmm okay. That Aunt Xixi was a woman full of mysteries, no one knew her origin. She had a fairly tall body, her face was pretty white and clean, but she was a fierce and nagging person. Let's just say he's grumpy. As I recall other than our parents and Xixi's aunt, they still had another friend whom they often called Rain. The man named Rain had a pale face, he was closer to Xixi than both of our parents.” Zhou Shen Shi took a deep breath for a moment then exhaled.
“Oh yes, I remember my mother telling me that Aunt Xixi was a powerful swordsman. If it's not wrong that Xixi's aunt isn't an ordinary person, that woman led an organization of her time.” Zhou Shen Shi recalled his mass sheet.
“What organization?” Zhou Shiyue was getting curious as well as confused.
“Entahlah, but if not wrong I've heard the man named Rain call her the queen of darkness.” Zhou Shen Shi.
“Queen darkness? Is he from a perverted stream?” Zhou Shiyue was getting confused.
“Entaihah, I never bothered about their path after all. Although from the cult though, our parents are also on the same path as them. The difference is they do not commit violence that harms the community.” Zhou Shen Shi.
“Then besides, do you know the information of the whereabouts of the woman?” Zhou Shiyue asked.
“Last time when I was a kid I knew that he lived on a mountain top, but until now I never found him.” Zhou Shen Shi.
“Hearing your story, I thought it would be hard to find that woman.” His word.
“Why don't you just forget it and live a new life.” Zhou Shen Shi asked his sister.
“I just want to know about our parents, especially I want to go back to find our father. Without that woman we would never have found father.” Said Zhou Shiyue.
“Shiyue!” Zhou Shen Shi said in seriousness, he patted his sister's shoulder.
“No brother, I will still finish what I started. Now I'm gonna go and please don't worry about me. Please take good care of yourself.” Zhou Shiyue felt moved but her determination was already round.
Zhou Shen Shi could only stare heartily at the passing of his sister.
“Hopefully he gets what he expects.” Zhou Shen Shi said inwardly.
Zhou Shiyue went to meet the Emperor who was already waiting for him in the Emperor's private room. The middle-aged man sat comfortably on the chair.
“Finally you came too.” Said the Emperor with a small smile.
“I hope you don't wait too long.” Zhou Shiyue said with a friendly smile, not forgetting that the young man also directly closed the door and locked it tightly so that no one could hear their conversation.
“For a hero like you, it doesn't matter.” The Emperor's words made Zhou Shiyue chuckle.
“Now I'm here, what do you want to talk to me about?” Zhou Shiyue entered the conversation.
“Not much, the first I just want to thank you for your help in the war at that time.” Emperor's Word.
“That's all thanks to the Emperor giving me the dragon sword, otherwise how can I help?” zhou Shiyue said bluntly with her thoughts.
“Haha not really. You are destined. Oh yeah, I was surprised at first when I saw you being such an amazing fighter back then. But I went back to thinking that I shouldn't be so surprised considering who used that dragon sword. It was you, that young man who had great potential.” The Emperor praised Zhou Shiyue.
“Emperor praises me too” Zhou Shiyue said thus making the Emperor shake his head at the young man's lazy tone.
“About the Zhou family? How can you have any business with that family?” ask Emperor.
“Did the Emperor forget where the Fourth General came from? He is from the Zhou family, and have you forgotten that I once said that the Fourth General is my brother. I am also from the Zhou.” family Zhou Shiyue said starting to explain.
“Then why did you imprison your parents?” The emperor asked again in confusion.
“Let's just say it's punishment for his actions all along, he's been deceiving the people and manipulating the rules of work. He has done a lot of illegal acts, and of course he deserves his punishment. Regarding the reason I caught it was because of the retaliation for him for hurting my brother and also me.” Zhou Shiyue explained.
“I still don't understand what you mean? Zhou Lan is your father why did you put him in prison?”
“He's not my real father and Zhou Shen Shi's older brother. We are adopted children who he cared for, although we live in a family that does not mean the family is kind enough to take care of us. The family was very nasty and always treated us badly.” Said Zhou Shiyue
“Oh so, so who are you two kids?” ask Emperor.
“Sorry Emperor, can you not ask too many questions!” Zhou Shiyue emphasized his sentence a sign he did not want to discuss further.
“Alright if you don't want to tell it” said the Emperor.
“Now your curiosity has been answered, right?” Zhou Shiyue asked
“Hm”
“Then I go first to continue my business.” Pamit Zhou Shiyue's.
“Wait a minute!” The Emperor held him back as Zhou Shiyue wanted to open the door.
“What's up?” Zhou Shiyue frowned.
“After your business is done do not forget to return with a body that is still alive.” Said the samba emperor patting the young man's shoulder.
“Hm, I'm signing my brother.” Said Zhou Shiyue nodding obediently, he turned back to continue his steps.
