C10 Golden Summer

"That's weird. From Mayor Huang's words, it seems like the reason for your parents' death was due to the order from the higher-ups to reopen the investigation." Why would the people up there suddenly care about this? " the headmaster said to himself.

"Could it be third brother? Impossible, he doesn't know about his parents. " Zhou Xingchen had some suspicions in his heart, but he did not show it on his face.

"Principal and the two teachers, we will be leaving first." Zhou Xingchen bid farewell to the Principal and the two teachers who had been silent all this time.

"Go back. Now that your living expenses have been paid, Xing Chen, don't go scrap picking anymore." Principal Li waved at the two brothers and said.

"Got it. We brothers will definitely study hard and not disappoint our parents' expectations. We will also not disappoint the principal, the teachers, and the students who cared about us." Zhou Xingchen replied seriously.

"Alright, alright." Under the smiling gaze of the Principal, Zhou Xingchen and his younger brother left the Principal's office.

Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the second year's summer vacation had arrived.

Perhaps it was due to the fact that they had started cultivating realism, but Zhou Xingchen and Fang Shaohua both felt that their minds were much better than before, and their studies much simpler than before. Zhou Xingchen had succeeded in his bet with Zuo Feng. He had entered the main high school, Songjiang First Senior High, as the first in his grade. Fang Shaohua's grades also advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the first place in the second grade.

"Brother, open the door." I am the eldest. " Zhou Xingchen and Fang Shaohua were at home packing their things into their storage rings, preparing to start their search for medicine when they heard their big brother, Shi Feng's, knocking on the door outside.

"Brother Feng, you brought it." "My brother is inside." When Fang Shaohua heard this voice, he immediately went to open the door.

"Brother, what's up with you these few days?" Third brother said he was coming here to play. " Seeing Zhou Xingchen at home, Shi Feng loudly shouted.

"Ah, how many days is he going to play this time?" Zhou Xingchen was stunned for a moment. It seemed like he had been planning on going out to look for medicine, but now he couldn't. Luckily, he was not in need of money right now. He said that he was out searching for medicine, but actually, he wanted to find a place where no one could cultivate. He also wanted to find medicinal herbs, refining materials, and the like in order to increase Zhou Xingchen's and Fang Shaohua's travelling experience. This was also a type of trial.

"He didn't say. He only said on the phone that he would be coming by train tomorrow. He even told me about the train." Shi Feng's mental state was quite large, so he did not discover Zhou Xingchen's abnormality.

"If that's the case, then let's go pick him up tomorrow. At that time, he will stay with me, and I will only have two brothers in my family. Zhou Xingchen thought for a moment before replying.

"Yeah, Brother Feng. At that time, let third brother stay in my house with me. " When Fang Shaohua heard that a guest was coming, he was very happy.

"It's very convenient for you to stay here, but that way you'll have to spend a lot more …" Shi Feng was slightly hesitant.

"Big brother, you don't have to worry about money. We don't need money right now, and even if we don't have it, I can't get it. Didn't the bet with you come true? At that time, I promised to explain the reason to you. After third brother, I will tell you together and I promise to surprise you. " Zhou Xingchen knew what Shi Feng was thinking, so he hurriedly interrupted him and changed the topic.

"Yeah, I didn't expect you to be first in our school. "My dad is praising you at home." Shi Feng also sighed with emotion when he thought of Zhou Xingchen's final entrance exam results. How about this, tomorrow we'll go pick up Third Brother, and Brother Hua will go with us. Then we'll go to my house for dinner, and we'll have him come here with you tonight. How about that? "

"What time is Third Brother's car tomorrow?" Zhou Xingchen asked.

"Three thirty tomorrow afternoon. I'll pick you up tomorrow and we'll go to the train station together. " Zhou Xingchen understood that Shi Feng wanted to drive his own private car to pick up Guo Yunlong tomorrow, so he agreed. It would be much more convenient to drive his own car.

SH City railway station.

As one of the largest and most prosperous cities in the country, SH has a very crowded and busy railway station. The heat of 36 degrees outside did not scare people away. The ticket office of the train station was packed with people. The exit of the train station was also filled with people.

Zhou Xingchen, Shi Feng, and Fang Shaohua were also among this large group of people receiving guests. They were waiting for Guo Yunlong from BJ.

"Third brother, over there. Third brother, over here. We're here." Shi Feng was the first to notice Guo Yunlong. He raised his voice and shouted loudly.

Guo Yunlong's smile was as innocent as ever. Hearing the shout, Guo Yunlong immediately spotted Zhou Xingchen and the other two, and squeezed towards them. The four of them quickly met up. Feeling a bit less crowded, they squeezed out of the crowd and got into the black Santana and sped towards Shi Feng's house.

Amidst Guo Yunlong's chattering, the four finally arrived at Shi Feng's house. At this moment, Shi Feng's parents were already standing in front of the door, waiting for them. Shi Zhongquan and his wife still cared a lot about their son's sworn brother.

"Uncle Shi, Aunt Lan." This was not the first time Zhou Xingchen and Fang Shaohua had come to Shi Feng's house. They were already quite familiar with Shi Feng's parents.

"Uncle Shi, Aunt Lan, hello." Guo Yunlong imitated them and bowed towards Shi Zhongquan and his wife. Even though it was just a simple bow, a glint flashed across Shi Zhongquan's eyes.

His son's family must be extraordinary. Shi Zhongquan and his wife looked at each other and thought at the same time. From their many years of experience in the official mall, it could be seen how natural and noble Guo Yunlong's etiquette was. It was obvious that he had been influenced by his family for a long time. From this, Shi and his wife concluded that Guo must have come from a big family with strict tutoring and management.

"Come, everyone, come in and sit. Don't stand outside. "Feng, give your third brother some salutations." Aunt Lan said politely.

Everyone followed Shi Zhongquan and his wife into the living room and sat down. "Guo Yunlong, right? I'll just call him Yunlong. I have no objections." Shi Zhong replied.

"You are my big brother's father, so you can call me half a father. You can call me whatever you want." Guo Yunlong said with a harmless smile.

"Yun Long, what does your family do? How could I let a child like you come out alone? " Shi Zhongquan did not agree with Guo Yunlong's parents' decision to let him come out alone.

Guo Yunlong made a face and said, "My family just does some small business, I guess they can be considered rich." I spent a lot of effort talking about this trip, so when I came over, my mom watched me get on the car. "

When Shi Zhongquan heard that Guo Yunlong had been sent to the train by his mother, his dissatisfaction with the way Guo Yunlong's parents treated him immediately lessened. He couldn't help but think this in his heart. Is it really a small business? He didn't know how to make it small, and how to make it rich.

While Shi Zhongquan was talking, the sky gradually darkened.

"It's time for dinner. Feng'er, take Xing Chen and Yun'er to the restaurant." Aunt Yun had already prepared dinner and called everyone over.

Amidst the cheerful atmosphere, Zhou Xingchen and the others finished their dinner. After being repeatedly persuaded to stay by Shi Feng, Zhou Xingchen, Fang Shaohua, and Guo Yunlong still returned to Zhou Xingchen's house.

Young people like free life without adults. Guo Yunlong did not stay on the outside either.

The next morning, SH City, the Yangtze River District, North of the city of Forest Park.

The North City Forest Park was built when the city was being developed, covering about 5000 mu of land. It could be considered a big forest. It was only 7 o'clock in the morning, and no one was interested in the forest park, which was already a place with very few visitors.

There were four youths seated around a stone table in the forest. They were Zhou Xingchen and the rest of the four.

"Brother, why did you ask us to come here so early in the morning? Even if you have something to tell us, isn't it the same at home? " Shi Feng was extremely displeased at being woken up by Zhou Xing Chen so early in the morning.

Last night, after Shi Feng sent Zhou Xingchen and the two others to Zhou Xingchen's house, he had originally wanted to sit back and rest. However, he was pulled back by Zhou Xingchen, telling him not to go back at night. Shi Feng agreed without even thinking. When Shi Feng was at home, his father would wake him up early in the morning to run around. Now, he was sleeping at Zhou Xingchen's house. He hadn't thought that it would be even worse than being at home normally. At 5.30am in the morning, Shi Feng and Guo Yunlong were woken up by Zhou Xingchen, and they dragged him all the way to the forest park.

"The things that I want to say this time, I really want to come here. This is convenient, there are very few people here, so there is no need to worry about being discovered." Zhou Xingchen did not mind Shi Feng's dissatisfied tone at all. He understood his big brother too well. Shi Feng would not be so angry at Zhou Xingchen for such a small matter.

"Now tell me, what were you doing in the two weeks after you returned from your trip to Huangshan? "Why did those days seem like they lost their souls?" Shi Feng still remembered that matter very clearly. Now that he had the chance to ask, he would naturally not let it go.

Guo Yunlong was completely unaware of this matter. Although he was in contact with Shi Feng on the phone, Shi Feng did not mention this matter to him.

"I'll answer all of you later. I have to settle some small matters first." Zhou Xingchen gestured to Shi Feng to wait for a moment. He turned around, faced the small forest behind him, and loudly shouted, "Which friend thinks so highly of us four brothers? We've been following you since last night."

Zhou Xingchen had discovered that there was someone following right beside them the entire night. When he woke up in the morning, he had used his spiritual sense to investigate the entire trip over on the bus. Since he did not find anything, he relaxed, thinking that it was just a coincidence. However, just now, Zhou Xingchen's Spiritual Sense noticed that the person who had been following them the night before had caught up once again, hiding behind a large tree not far behind him.

"Second brother, is there someone here? Why didn't I see it? " Guo Yunlong said as he looked at the forest that was devoid of shadows.

Shi Feng was also somewhat puzzled by Zhou Xingchen's actions. He worriedly asked, "Second Brother, are you alright?"

Zhou Xingchen did not reply to Shi Feng and Shi Feng. Instead, he directly looked at the invisible tree and said, "Friend, come down and greet them." You must be tired enough following me from last night. "

"Hahaha …" "I didn't expect that I would run into such a young master when I was here." Just as Zhou Xingchen finished speaking, a young man dressed entirely in black floated down from the tree.

"Big Brother Chen, when did you arrive?" Guo Yunlong recognized the young man in black. He was his family's guardian, Chen Dasheng. Chen Dasheng was born poor, and because of his good kung fu skills and the kindness of Guo Yunlong's grandfather, he stayed at the Guo Family to protect the Guo Family. Mr Chen is only 22 this year. Guo Yunlong had never seen Chen Dasheng as a servant and had always treated him with the courtesy of an elder brother. Usually, he would call him Big Brother Chen.

"Brother Chen, you have been with us ever since we arrived at Brother Shi's house. "As for just now, he was discovered by brother the moment he arrived." It was obvious that Fang Shaohua had long since discovered Chen Dasheng's actions.

Hearing Fang Shaohua's words, the black clothed youth couldn't help but look at him. This time, he really made a mistake. He didn't expect that these two brothers were both experts. He was discovered by them as soon as he appeared in their surroundings. But what kind of cultivation was needed to do it, and what kind of master should not be able to pay? The image of Master Fu's deep heroic spirit surfaced in the black-clothed youth's heart. Could it be the legendary Upper Sky Realm? That must be the case. Otherwise, with his cultivation, there would be very few people in Wu Lin's generation who could discover his whereabouts. The Upper Sky Realm, it was a level that even his Master had not reached back then. But how old were these two brothers? How could they be in the Nascent Realm? A descendant of an underworld clan? Impossible, no one knew the situation of these two brothers better than him. Long before he had arrived at the SH, Old Master Guo had shown him all the information regarding Zhou Xingchen, Fang Shaohua, and Shi Feng. Forget it, he'd better tell the old tutor the truth. "Chen had made up his mind.

"Big Brother Chen, why did grandpa make you follow me again?" Didn't I tell him? Grandfather really doesn't keep his word. " Guo Yunlong said angrily.

"Young master, the lordmaster sent me here because he was worried about your safety. Don't blame the old man. " Chen Dasheng explained.

"Third brother, your grandfather cares about this so that he can secretly follow you and protect you. It was out of goodwill, if I hadn't found out about him and let him out. He may never show up in front of you. They didn't think about affecting your life. " Zhou Xingchen also helped to enlighten Guo Yunlong.

Shi Feng, on the other hand, looked at the two brothers with an unbelievable expression. It was as if he was meeting them for the first time.

Seeing Shi Feng's funny expression, Zhou Xingchen did not say anything. He turned around to the black-clothed youth and said, "Brother Chen, it's not convenient for you to hear what I'm going to say to them, so …" So I told you to come out. "Look, can you step aside for a moment? How about I take responsibility for third brother's safety today?"

"Young Master Zhou is joking, it's definitely much better for you to have young master to protect me than for me." I'll go first. "Young master, I'll be staying in young master Zhou's guest house downstairs, if you want to find me, then that's fine." With that, the youth in black jumped and disappeared into the forest.

"Second Brother, Little Brother Shaohua." You two know martial arts? You dare to be more favourable than my Big Brother Chen? " When Guo Yunlong heard this, he also understood something from Chen Dasheng's words.
