Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 259 — Return
"Energy in Yin? The Sky King's body? Yuan'er has a body like that?!"
Zhou Bing had just told him all about Zhou Yuan's special body, this made Zhou Yao shocked and in disbelief****.****
"Why is Dad telling me this now?"
"Maybe it's because I think Yuan'er is alive now." Zhou Bing replied.
Zhou Yao gasped and questioned why his father thought so, they had heard that Zhou Yuan had died with three women with him during the battle at the tournament three years ago.
"As I told you before, the Sky King's Body is not a condition of an ordinary body unless there is a big reason why he was born. Zhou Yuan is like Zhou Jiangnam, our ancestor, he will have a great destiny in the future..."
Zhou Jiangnam was the leader of the Zhou Family a thousand years ago and he also had the body of a Sky King, rumored Zhou Jiangnam was the strongest swordsman who was invincible in the entire Northern Mainland Continent back then.
Because of Zhou Jiangnam, the Northern Mainland Continent got what was called peace. Zhou Bing was convinced that the fate of his grandson was no different from that of Zhou Jiangnam.
"It's impossible for someone chosen by fate to die so easily, I'm pretty sure even today Yuan'er is still alive." Zhou Bing concluded it afterwards.
"But didn't you hear that Yuan'er died after hundreds of beastmen at the time, he couldn't have lived against them all?"
"Yao'er, you should also know that your son's body has not been found until now, isn't it also very strange that all the dead bodies have been found except for Yuan'er and the three girls who were with him..."
Zhou Yao had trouble answering, he had indeed been informed of this and even went there to search for his son's corpse but was not found.
"But if Yuan'er lives he should..."
"Come back here and go home?" Cut Zhou Bing. "I'm sure there's a big reason why Yuan'er didn't come back straight away, since childhood the boy wasn't easily predictable both his thoughts and actions..."
Zhou Yao fell silent, he pondered over his father's words and indeed knew the specialty of Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yao still remembered when his residence was being attacked by the Night Bats organization, back then his son was the one who was instrumental in defeating the criminal organization and he also witnessed Zhou Yuan who was only ten years old being able to defeat the Gold Realm warrior alone.
Whereas at the same age, little children like them should have run away and cried but Zhou Yuan actually had a different reaction.
Moreover, Zhou Yuan also showed an adult attitude even at the age of three, even at such a time, Zhou Yao once thought his son was indeed unusual.
Zhou Yao was still pondering Zhou Bing's words when suddenly the door of his room was knocked.
Zhou Yao frowned and told the knocking man to come in, a bodyguard came and informed him of a letter from the Ling Family that had just arrived here.
"Your letter again..." Zhou Yao let out a long sigh then received the scroll and read it.
Zhou Yao's face was fickle as he read the letter but right at the end of his expression was filled with anger and instantly squeezed the scroll.
"The Ling family is really taking us to war..." Zhou Yao clenched his hands hard.
"Yao'er, it looks like when I'm doing closed-door training you're in trouble?" Zhou Bing was slightly surprised by his son's reaction after receiving the letter.
Zhou Yao set his breath for a moment before sighing, he then told the outline of the current Zhou Family matter.
The Ling Family was the 7th largest Noble Family in the Moon Empire, they were highly respected by the other noble families due to their considerable military strength.
In recent months, the Ling Family has taken a surprising action against the surrounding nobles, because the Nobles Family wants the small and medium noble families to submit under their command.
The Ling family used the excuse that this was done in order to help against the organizations, when clearly the family wanted to control another noble family.
The letter stated that the Zhou Family must pay 50% of their tax revenues. If they were unwilling to pay then the Ling Family would act militarily.
Zhou Yao had already rejected this matter twice, and the letter he read was a warning letter for the Zhou Family to quickly pay.
"I didn't expect the situation in the martial world that was starting to get worse there were also problems like this..." Zhou Bing shook his head slowly.
"All the decisions of the Zhou Family are currently with you but your previous decision was correct, I do not accept the Zhou Family to submit to other families. If only they make a move, then the Zhou Family will also act, we don't mind starting a war with them..."
Of course if there was a choice, Zhou Bing would choose another path because in the current martial world situation there was no time for them to make a conflict.
Hearing his Father's decision, Zhou Yao would discuss this further with the other Family Elders.

Zhou Yuan and Yifei continued flying in the dark night until they stopped after being at their destination, Riva City.
After a two-day journey from Hanma City, Zhou Yuan continued on until they finally arrived.
"Yuan Gege, what should we do now, get down and tell them we're still alive?" Ask Yifei.
Zhou Yuan and Yifei were still hovering above Riva City, Zhou Yuan scratching his head. "Actually I'm not sure but we'd better see my family tomorrow, it's late today and maybe my parents are asleep by now."
Yifei was actually feeling impatient wanting to go to Zhou Yuan's residence but the words of his lover had a point.
The two then landed in the city, as it was already dark the atmosphere of the city was a bit quiet so no one saw Zhou Yuan and Yifei coming from above.
"I've heard about the most beautiful city in the Moon Empire, hearing and witnessing it in person is clearly very different..." Yifei clucked in amazement at the beauty of Riva City.
In addition to looking neat and clean, Riva City has a beautiful view with an orderly and symmetrical arrangement of the city.
Zhou Yuan smiled seeing Yifei's reaction, almost everyone would react similarly when they saw the beauty of Riva City for the first time.
Zhou Yuan looked around. "This city nothing has changed since I left, everything is still the same." he said with a faint smile.
Riva City was now a place where Zhou Yuan felt the true meaning of home, he had longed for this city, and increasingly longed to meet his family.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back..." Zhou Yuan muttered softly, smiling in his heart.
