Zhou Wen quickly took out his phone and checked the map to confirm that he hadn't remembered wrongly.
"The Zhang family is in this area!" Zhou Wen opened his address book and sent a message to Zhang Yuzhi. "I happen to have something to do near your house. Do you have time to meet?"
"What's the matter?" Zhou Wen was somewhat surprised that Zhang Yuzhi replied so quickly.
The Zhang family's protection of Zhang Yuzhi was too good. Typically, it was rare for Zhang Yuzhi to communicate with others.
"Did something happen to the Fiend Tomb?" Zhou Wen asked directly.
"There's a problem," Zhang Yuzhi replied.
"Do you need help?" Zhou Wen didn't feel too good. Although Zhang Yuzhi made it sound easy, Zhou Wen knew that once something happened to the Fiend Tomb, it definitely wouldn't be a small problem.
The one inside was very likely the legendary Drought Demon. If she were to appear, there was a high chance that she would be accompanied by a natural disaster.
Unlike ordinary Guardians, she was a Guardian that had survived the Mythical era. Her level was very high. Although Zhou Wen wasn't sure if a Calamity-grade Guardian would trigger a natural disaster phenomenon, legend had it that when the Drought Demon appeared, it was indeed a barren land for thousands of kilometers.
Furthermore, the weather in the nearby area seemed to have been affected. This was very terrifying.
Tsukuyomi's Ghost Parade was already very terrifying, but compared to the Drought Demon, it was nothing.
For thousands of kilometers, everything would be scorched wherever it passed. It was a barren land. As long as the Drought Demon passed through the area, humans would probably die.
However, from the current situation, the Drought Demon likely hadn't appeared yet. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as the weather turning hot.
"It's just a small problem. The family is trying to resolve it. However, it's rare for you to take the initiative to help, so I won't stand on ceremony. Coincidentally, I have something I need help with. Come to my house first." Zhang Yuzhi finally sent a playful winking emoji.
"Alright, I'll be right there." Seeing that Zhang Yuzhi seemed to be in a good mood, Zhou Wen couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. From the looks of it, the problem wasn't serious.
When Zhou Wen arrived at the Zhang family, Zhang Yuzhi was already waiting for him at the door. Zhang Chunqiu was with her.
"Zhou Wen, it's really difficult to meet you now," Zhang Yuzhi said with a smile.
"Didn't I come by myself?" It wasn't easy for Zhou Wen to explain. In the past few years, Zhang Yuzhi had sent him quite a number of messages, but he had been trapped for five years, so he hadn't had the chance to read them.
However, as An Jing had replaced him for five years, he couldn't reveal the matter.
"Brother Zhang, how's the situation with the Fiend Tomb?" Zhou Wen was very concerned about the Fiend Tomb.
This was because once the Drought Demon was born, it would not only affect the Zhang family, but also the entire city and land. When the time came, the entire East District might suffer from a terrifying natural disaster. Zhou Wen and his family would not be able to completely stay out of it.
"I'm thinking of a way to resolve it. The area affected shouldn't be too large," Zhang Chunqiu said.
Seeing Zhang Chunqiu say so, Zhou Wen felt a lot more at ease. After some thought, he asked, "Brother Zhang, I've only heard that the birth of Calamity-grade dimensional creatures will be accompanied by a Calamity phenomenon. I wonder if the birth of a Calamity-grade Guardian will also trigger a Calamity phenomenon?"
Zhang Chunqiu pondered for a moment and said, "Generally speaking, the appearance of all Calamity-grade creatures won't trigger a Calamity phenomenon. Only when a creature advances to the Calamity realm will it trigger a Calamity phenomenon. No matter what creature it is, it's the same. Guardians are naturally no exception."
Upon hearing Zhang Chunqiu's words, Zhou Wen felt that this matter wasn't serious. The Drought Demon was already at the Calamity grade in the Mythical era. It was impossible for her to trigger another Calamity phenomenon unless she used the Calamity domain herself.
However, judging from the Zhang family's attitude, the Drought Demon wouldn't appear so easily. Otherwise, they would have long evacuated. It was impossible for them to stay here and wait for death.
"Are you here to help or to chat?" Zhang Yuzhi said with a smile.
"If there's anything you need my help with, I'll definitely do my best as long as it's within my capabilities," Zhou Wen said.
"Then follow me," Zhang Yuzhi said as she turned around and entered Zhang Manor.
"Go ahead. I still have something to do, so I won't be accompanying you," Zhou Wen looked at Zhang Chunqiu who said with a smile.
Only then did Zhou Wen follow Zhang Yuzhi into Zhang Manor. As the Zhang family doted on Zhang Yuzhi to the extreme, and due to Zhang Yuzhi herself, the Zhang family typically didn't allow outsiders to come into contact with her.
Zhou Wen followed Zhang Yuzhi through corridors and courtyards before arriving at a small yard.
This yard wasn't very big, but it was decorated very elegantly. There were many flowers and plants planted inside, but they didn't make one feel that they were unnecessary. It was as though every blade of grass and flower was meant to be there.
Zhou Wen didn't know much about flowers and plants, but he could tell that the person who had decorated this yard was very powerful. He was a transcendent figure who had a profound understanding of mountains and rivers.
"My garden isn't bad, right?" Zhang Yuzhi asked Zhou Wen smugly.
"Did you set this up?" Zhou Wen asked in surprise.
"Why? Can't I?" Zhang Yuzhi curled her lips.
"No, it's great. I never expected you to be so accomplished in this aspect," Zhou Wen said sincerely.
He had always wanted to learn the Dao of Nature and use it to comprehend the true meaning of Slaughterer. This was because Zhou Wen had a nagging feeling that Slaughterer's foundation wasn't as simple as slaughtering.
Perhaps Slaughterer's foundation was related to the Dao of Life.
Slaughterer was unable to transform into his Terror form, so Zhou Wen had the idea of learning the Dao of Nature. However, he really wasn't made for this, so he didn't have any achievements.
"It's really rare to receive your praise. However, your level of praise isn't very good," Zhang Yuzhi said happily.
"I'm really not good at that. Let's talk about what I can help with," Zhou Wen said.
"You are really boring. I don't think you have any friends, right?" Zhang Yuzhi said with a twitch of her lips.
"Indeed … I don't have any friends …" Zhou Wen thought about it carefully and realized that it was true. He really couldn't think of many who could be considered friends.
"What does this have to do with what you want me to help you with?" Zhou Wen asked again.
"You are really hopeless. Wait for me here." Zhang Yuzhi rolled her eyes at him before turning around and walking into the house. Soon, she came out with a bucket.
"Come on, help me plant flowers today." Zhang Yuzhi took out a shovel from the bucket and handed it to Zhou Wen.
"You wanted my help to plant flowers?" Zhou Wen was slightly taken aback.
"Why? Do you want to go back on your word? "Zhang Yuzhi said to Zhou Wen with a smile.
"Alright, I'll do whatever you say." Zhou Wen felt that this was a good thing. For Zhang Yuzhi to be so relaxed meant that the matter with the Fiend Tomb wasn't too serious.
Therefore, under Zhang Yuzhi's instructions, Zhou Wen began his career as a gardener.
"Loosen the soil … Sigh … Why are you so stupid … It's loosening the soil, not digging a hole … Pour some water over there … I asked you to water it, not drip eye drops. If you pour it out drop by drop, how long will it take … Ah … Why did you pour it all in? Do you want to drown my poor flower …"
