Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Zhou Daoyi was worried about finding a legitimate reason for Zhou Chun to stay with the Zhou Family to focus on his cultivation, waiting for Foundation Establishment.

At this moment, Zhou Zhengyong suddenly stepped forward and said he was willing to go to Yunzhou in Zhou Chun's place, and how could Zhou Daoyi not be overjoyed.

He also knew that given Zhou Chun's character, he would certainly initially refuse, and it would undoubtedly take some persuasion.

That's why he quickly cut Zhou Chun off before he could voice his refusal, deciding the matter on the spot.

Although Zhou Zhengyong was also one of the more outstanding members of the younger generation within the Zhou Family, there was no doubt he was far inferior compared to Zhou Chun.

As the Clan Leader, Zhou Daoyi felt that his decision was justified and fulfilled the responsibilities of his status.

And seeing the Clan Leader, himself, had firmly decided the matter on the spot,

Zhou Chun, whose words had been interrupted, opened his mouth but ultimately didn't voice any objection.

Questioning the Clan Leader's decision to his face was not impossible, but it must be done by clan members of Elder status.

Otherwise, if anyone could challenge the Clan Leader's decision, what would become of the Clan Leader's authority?

Moreover, it was obvious to anyone that both Zhou Zhengyong and the Clan Leader Zhou Daoyi were doing this for Zhou Chun's benefit.

If he were to directly oppose them now, while it might preserve his reputation, it could damage the respect and feelings Zhou Daoyi, the Clan Leader, held for him.

Thus, this matter could only be set in stone!

After everyone dispersed, Zhou Chun sought out Zhou Zhengyong alone.

"Brother Yong, are you out of your mind?"

"I appreciate your good intentions, but you need to consider yourself and your wife and your nephew!"

"This is a major decision; how can you make it without consulting your wife!"

"If something were to happen to you, how would I face your wife and nephew in the future!"

Alone in the room, Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Zhengyong with agitation and spoke repeatedly, clearly very emotional.

Zhou Zhengyong's good intentions were known to him, but these were kindnesses that Zhou Chun genuinely did not want to accept!

In Zhou Chun's eyes, with his own cultivation level, even if he went to Yunzhou, he felt confident that he would survive, and therefore, there was no need for anyone to go in his place.

On the contrary, if Zhou Zhengyong were to go and become injured or even die,

he would indeed feel guilty for a lifetime, owing an enormous debt of gratitude!

How could he not be agitated?

However, facing Zhou Chun's emotional speech, Zhou Zhengyong sternly replied, "Thirteenth brother, you are wrong. Your elder brother is not confused!"

"All this time, I have received much assistance from you, thirteenth brother. Without your help, I would not have secured Yujiao as my wife nor have Lan'er."

"Yujiao often tells me, thirteenth brother, that your progress in cultivation is too rapid. The debt of gratitude we owe you is likely impossible to repay!"

"Now, fortune has presented an opportunity for me to do something for you, to repay the kindness I owe to thirteenth brother. Even if Yujiao knew about this, she would agree!"

Saying this, he looked at Zhou Chun with a wistful expression and continued, "I know what you are worried about, but please also consider my position. It's not just you who doesn't want to be burdened by a debt of gratitude; I am not the kind of person who can accept others' kindness without wanting to reciprocate!"

"Brother Yong, you..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.

Indeed, Zhou Zhengyong was not foolish, and he was well aware of his concerns.

But as a cultivator with moral integrity, Zhou Zhengyong also had his own principles and beliefs.

How could Zhou Chun forcefully make someone else abandon their own moral compass because of his own worries?

Seeing Zhou Chun fall silent, Zhou Zhengyong knew his words had had an impact and immediately waved his hand, saying, "Thirteenth brother, there's no need for further words. The family has already decided this matter, and it cannot be changed."

"Besides, I'm merely replacing you in the campaign, not going into some kind of life-or-death situation. There's no need to be so pessimistic."

"To take it even further, if something does happen to me, then it's part of my destiny, and nobody is to blame!"

Hearing these words, Zhou Chun could only offer a bitter smile.

Blaming no one, such lightness in speaking was something only he, the person involved, could manage.

If something truly were to befall him, not to mention Sun Yujiao and her son, even the other members of the Zhou Family would likely scrutinize Zhou Chun's behavior in the future. Explore new worlds at mvl

But as things stood, indeed, further discussion was pointless.

Everyone has their own convictions and things they value and adhere to.

Zhou Chun could only nod helplessly and said, "Alright then, if you are clear about it, Brother Yong, then I won't say much more. However, you must take these things with you, or else I won't agree!"

With that, he slapped his storage pouch at his waist, taking out two first-grade superior-class magic artifacts, one offensive and one defensive, along with a dozen first-grade superior-class talismans.

Since he couldn't stop Zhou Zhengyong from going to war in his place, Zhou Chun could only do his best to arm him and enhance his strengths.

If it weren't for the fact that his Rock Earth Turtle had not evolved to the point of understanding human speech like the Fire Divine Jackal, Zhou Chun would insist that Zhou Zhengyong take the Rock Earth Turtle with him.

And faced with the items Zhou Chun produced, Zhou Zhengyong declined them at first but, finding them impossible to refuse, eventually accepted them.

Two days passed, and the fourteen cultivators from the Zhou Family confirmed to campaign in Yunzhou, left Jiufeng Ridge along with the Clan Leader Zhou Daoyi, heading towards Yunzhou.
