Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming Chapter 86: 79: Trouble, It Happened [Five Updates for Subsc

Shock, disappointnt, and disbelief were the expressions and emotions that Zhou Daoyi felt at that mont.

Listening to Zhou Chun's words, he had never imagined that Zhou Chun's suspect would turn out to be Zhou Zhengkang, a Foundation Establishnt Seed who had been the focus of the clan's nurturing!

This revelation left him extrely shocked and in disbelief.

He was very reluctant to believe that Zhou Chun's suspicions could be true.

But as he carefully pondered Zhou Chun's words, he found that the conclusion, drawn from a combination of facts and conjectures, seed very reasonable and could not be completely denied.

For a mont, he stood there in a daze, unable to speak for a long ti.

Observing his reaction, Zhou Chun knew it would be difficult for him to accept that his suspicions were true. He was even more worried that Zhou Daoyi would make a decision detrintal to himself.

Therefore, after a brief hesitation, Zhou Chun suggested again, "Actually, if you, Clan Leader, want to verify the truth of my suspicions without harming Seventh Brother's trust in the clan, it's quite simple. You just need to ask whether the Supre Elder has recently bestowed any Honey Flower Tea upon him."

"If the Supre Elder has given a large amount of Honey Flower Tea to Seventh Brother, then it's normal for him to be drinking Honey Flower Tea alone in his study, which would an I have been overthinking."

Zhou Chun's suggestion was actually quite risky.

Because if the Supre Elder, Zhou Mingde, whether truthfully or not, admitted to doing this and protected Zhou Zhengkang, then Zhou Chun's suspicions would be unfounded.

Yet, Zhou Chun still chose to do so.

The reason was simple; he absolutely could not allow Zhou Daoyi to get the wrong impression that he was acting out of jealousy towards Zhou Zhengkang.

Besides, based on Zhou Zhengkang's previous behavior, Zhou Chun was already eighty to ninety percent sure that the latter was a traitor.

Even if the Supre Elder Zhou Mingde protected him this ti and helped him escape danger, by increasing surveillance in the future, there was no fear of failing to catch him colluding with outsiders.

Up to this point, even Zhou Chun himself had not considered the possibility that Zhou Zhengkang could be the murderer of Zhou Jiahui.

After hearing Zhou Chun's suggestion, Zhou Daoyi ca back to his senses and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Zhengchun, your suggestion is excellent, I will go and verify this matter with the Supre Elder."

Having said this, his expression turned solemn, and he instructed Zhou Chun seriously, "Besides myself, do not ntion what you said today to anyone else, not even the other Elders and the Supre Elder, understand?"

"Yes, I understand!"

Zhou Chun felt a chill in his heart and imdiately responded with due formality.

He understood that Zhou Daoyi was protecting him.

Thereupon, Zhou Chun was sent back to wait for news on Baozhi Peak.

After sending Zhou Chun away, Zhou Daoyi was left alone in Central Peace Hall, deep in thought for several hours, before he was able to completely calm and adjust his mindset.

Then he went to visit the abode of the Supre Elder Zhou Mingde at the peak of Pagoda Peak.

"Clan Leader, what brings you to my place today? Has sothing happened in the clan?"

Inside the abode, Zhou Mingde, looking at Zhou Daoyi, who did not usually visit without important matters, asked about the purpose of his visit directly.

As a Supre Elder dedicated to reclusive cultivation, seldom involving himself in clan affairs, he was only consulted by Zhou Daoyi and others when they faced issues they could not resolve or decisions they could not easily make.

Therefore, he understood that Zhou Daoyi's visit without prior notice must be due to so pressing matter.

In response to his question, Zhou Daoyi first nodded and then shook his head, saying, "There is indeed a small matter in the clan, but it's not sothing that you need to worry about, uncle. I ca to see you today to ask for so Honey Flower Tea for entertaining guests!"

"You're asking for Honey Flower Tea to entertain guests?"

Zhou Mingde was slightly startled, then he scrutinized Zhou Daoyi carefully.

He shook his head and said, "I don't have much left of the Honey Flower Tea. Back when we first arrived at Jingguo Country, we spent most of what I had on gifts and hosting guests. Now I have less than two bottles left in my possession!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Daoyi's brow furrowed.

"Not even you have any left?"

Then, he nodded and said, "In that case, I will have to think of another way to get so from other clan mbers. I rember that Zhengkang also received so Honey Flower Tea from the clan before, and he's young; he should still have so left."

To his surprise, upon hearing this, Zhou Mingde imdiately shook his head and said, "Don't get your hopes up about Zhengkang. He begged for half a bottle after he tasted it here two years ago. I didn't have that much to give him, and in the end, I only gave him two pills to satisfy his craving."

However, the mont he said that, he saw Zhou Daoyi's expression drastically change.

His face filled with anger as he exclaid, "Then it really is him!!"

This sudden outburst also caused Zhou Mingde's expression to change dramatically, and he looked at Zhou Daoyi with a grave face, urgently asking, "What do you an 'it really is him'? What exactly are you hiding?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Daoyi took a deep breath and said with a heavy tone, "Uncle, please see the truth. It's not that I deliberately concealed it just now, but I really couldn't dare to let you know about it before everything was certain!"

"Now that everything has beco clear, I can only tell you the whole truth!"

Then he began with Zhou Jiahui's disappearance, how the Zhou Family searched in vain, how they investigated for a traitor, and how Zhou Chun deduced that Zhou Zhengkang was the most likely suspect based on the clue of the "Honey Flower Tea."
