"Miss Zhao, please wait."
A gentle voice came from the other side. Everyone turned around and saw that it was First Madam.
First Madam looked travel-worn. She had obviously rushed here through the night, and she was holding a scroll in her hand.
"Eldest Sister …" Zhao Huan frowned. She did not expect First Madam to return at this time. "Miss Zhao, you are too polite. But please do not call me Eldest Sister in the future. From today onwards, you are no longer the Second Madam of the General's Residence." First Madam opened the scroll.
"The General has ordered that from today onwards, except for First Madam Yue Shu, the other four wives are to be divorced. He has also agreed to Zhou Aotian, Zhou Xianxian, and Zhou Shaoyu's request to sever ties with their father. First Madam Yue Shu will be in charge of everything in the Zhou family."
Divorce!
Everyone was in an uproar. Tang Zhenghe was stunned for a long time before he nodded. This letter was undoubtedly good medicine. At this moment, he could not help but admire Zhou Zhantian from the bottom of his heart.
Zhao Huan was also stunned and did not know what to do. She never expected Zhou Zhantian to divorce her. She thought that Zhou Zhantian would need to rely on her, but the result was the opposite.
On the other hand, Su Ruohan was very calm. Obviously, she already knew.
"Miss Zhao, this is your divorce letter. You can return to the Imperial City tomorrow."
Arrow received the divorce letter with joy and handed it to the confused Zhao Huan. He then made a gesture of invitation, "Miss Zhao, please leave."
"Divorce me … Alright, Zhou Zhantian, since you are heartless, don't blame me for being heartless."
Zhao Huan tore the divorce letter into pieces and glared at First Madam. "Yue Shu, don't be too happy. Without me, let's see who can save Zhou Zhantian."
"Without you, my husband would not be in prison." First Madam did not hold back. This was the first time she had spoken so clearly.
"He only has himself to blame for going to prison. I'd like to see how you, Yue Shu, can fight me without Zhou Zhantian. Don't forget, the Zhou family's disciples are all on my side." Zhao Huan glanced at Zhou Shaoyu and Zhou Zitao and said smugly.
"Unfortunately, the most talented person is on my husband's side." First Madam smiled at Zhou Yang.
Zhao Huan's face darkened. At the mention of Zhou Yang, she felt an inexplicable palpitation in her heart. A genius who was extremely talented and had a strong backer was terrifying, but what was even more terrifying was that this genius was more hardworking than anyone else.
"Miss Zhao, if I didn't hear wrongly, you and Ye Xin's four children have already severed ties with their husband. Please change your name in the future." Su Ruohan sneered.
"Severing ties was merely a matter of power. A few words spoken in a moment of desperation cannot be considered true. The position of the Zhou Clan's successor still does not belong to Zhou Yang."
Everyone snorted at Zhao Huan's shamelessness, but they could not interfere in the Zhou family's internal affairs. At least Zhao Huan was right, Zhou Zhan Tian had only agreed and did not ask to do so. If Zhao Huan could change her words, then Zhou Shao Yu could as well.
"That's right. According to the Zhou family's ancestral teachings, the position of heir belongs to the strongest. Father once said that whoever gets the position of Young King will be the heir. Whether it's the ancestral teachings or father's words, you, Zhou Yang, have not met the requirements. The Zhou family's heir belongs to me, Zhou Shaoyu."
Zhou Shao Yu was also a smart man. When he heard Zhao Huan's words, he immediately changed his words.
"So, you're not afraid of being accused of treason?" Guo Zhanxiong said coldly.
"So, you're not afraid of being accused of treason?" Guo Zhanxiong said coldly.
"Just now City Lord Tang said that this is only a guess and has not come true." Zhou Shao Yu finished speaking and looked at Zhou Yang. "Zhou Yang, if you're a man, don't look for excuses. If you have the ability, then use your strength to get the position of heir."
Zhou Yang smiled faintly. "Don't provoke me. If you want to fight, then I'll give you a chance. I'll wait for you in the Young King Tournament."
"Good, you said it. Whoever wins will be the heir. Everything father left behind will belong to the winner." Zhou Shao Yu's eyes were filled with joy, as if he already owned the entire Zhou family.
"As you wish."
Zhou Yang said indifferently.
"Madam Zhou, we'll see who will win."
Seeing that their goal had been achieved, Zhao Huan waved with a smile and left the General's Mansion with Ye Taishan, Zhou Shao Yu, and the rest, heading towards the Xu family.
First Madam heaved a sigh of relief and thanked Tang Zhenghe and the rest. A moment later, Tang Zhenghe, Simayan, and the rest left with a sigh.
The battle that shook the county city was over!
Whoosh …
The storm that had been brewing for a long time finally arrived, washing away the blood on the ground and washing the General's Mansion that was full of scars.
Night fell quietly, but the rain did not stop.
In the General's Mansion, in the only intact hall, Zhou Yang, Guo Zhanxiong, First Madam, Su Ruohan, Lady Jiu, and the rest gathered to discuss the future.
Zhou Yang did not speak. He could see that although his mother had been divorced, she did not look sad at all.
He was not stupid and quickly figured it out.
Zhou Zhantian could be said to have given a lot of thought. He divorced Zhao Huan and Ye Xin so that they could not touch the Zhou family. After all, the Zhou family had been operating in the county city for so many years. No one could bear to give it away just like that.
And by divorcing his mother, it was for protection.
Out of the five wives of Zhou Zhantian, First Madam Yue Shu had a mysterious identity. She seemed to be Zhou Zhantian's childhood sweetheart, but she had deep connections in the Royal Capital. Fourth Madam and his mother were the weakest, and he was afraid that he would implicate them.
Su Ruohan clearly saw through this, so she did not show any signs of sadness.
"Little Yang, your injuries are serious. Why don't you take Grandmaster Sima's medicine and recover?" First Madam suggested after a long while.
Zhou Yang nodded. He had no intention of participating in this kind of aftermath. After bidding farewell to his mother, he returned to his room.
"What kind of power does the Infinite Astral Souls contain?"
Inside the room, Zhou Yang stared at the endless curtain of rain outside the window, his heart filled with doubts.
He had gained a lot from today's battle, but the thing that left a fresh impression on him was the reaction of the Infinite Astral Souls when Xu Zhentian's finger was about to land.
Unfortunately, because of Su Xin's intervention, the Infinite Astral Souls had returned to his body.
The Infinite Astral Souls were incomparably mysterious. As of now, other than the ability to awaken Astral Souls infinitely, it could also increase the cultivation speed of martial techniques and devour the Astral Souls of others.
Any one of these three abilities was heaven-defying, but obviously, this was not the full extent of the Infinite Astral Souls.
After consuming the Life Recovery Pill, Zhou Yang pondered as his body recovered. Today's injuries were extremely serious, and his body was already in a state of chaos. Even with the Life Recovery Pill, he would still need at least ten days to fully recover.
"The boat will cross the bridge when it comes to it. Seems like it's not the right time yet."
After pondering for a long time, Zhou Yang shook his head and no longer thought about it. He believed that one day, he would be able to unlock the full potential of the Infinite Astral Souls.
