This operation directly stunned Zhou Ziyu on the spot. Not only her, but also the second elder Zhou Chen and Zhou Zhenzhong all stayed in place and looked at this scene in great surprise.
Obviously, the Zhou family should be the first to help, so that Zhou Ziyu has a chance of winning.
But when Wei Kang jumped out on his own, Zhou Ziyu was undoubtedly thrown into a desperate situation.
"Poison Master Wei, you...what are you going to do!?"
"Didn't we agree that the Zhou family would be the first to send someone out and we would accept the challenge!?"
Zhou Ziyu was already panicking, staring at Wei Kang on the competition stage in extreme astonishment and shouting.
Wei Kang smiled slightly and waved his hand towards Zhou Ziyu: "Miss Zhou, please don't worry. I am enough for the three great guardians of the Zhou family. You don't need to do anything."
He spoke righteously and sternly, with no fear in his eyes and full of righteousness.
It was as if he could solve this trial alone.
But Zhou Ziyu was about to burst into tears and shouted: "Poison Master Wei, you heard the rules wrong. It's not that one of us has to challenge the Great Guardian, but each of us has to face a Great Guardian!"
As soon as these words came out, Wei Kang's face couldn't help but change, and his body became a little stiff: "What!? Did I hear it wrong!?"
"I thought I was challenging three great guardians by myself!"
"Oops!"
Zhou Ziyu was stamping his feet anxiously at this moment. What he just said was so clear, how could he hear it wrong?
"Poison Master Wei, come down quickly and let the Zhou family get out first!" She kept urging.
And just when Poison Master Wei was about to jump off the competition platform, Zhou Hui's voice wasted no time: "Since you are so confident, the Zhou family will send Zhou Chang to challenge!"
He didn't give Wei Kang a chance to leave at all, and directly asked Zhou Chang to appear.
Zhou Chang, who was standing on the martial arts platform, looked extremely heavy. This seemed to be a little different from the plan he had received!
But with so many people watching, he had no choice but to fight, so he had no choice but to bravely walk to the center of the ring.
"The Zhou family protects Zhou Chang and comes to challenge."
With his bare hands, he cupped his fists towards Wei Kang, very politely.
Before Wei Kang could respond, Zhou Ziyu hurriedly stopped: "Stop, stop, we made a mistake here, we will send people to fight again!"
But Zhou Hui smiled scornfully and said angrily: "What!? Even this detail is so unrelenting. Could it be that you and the Zhou family's alienated people are cooperating inside and outside, and are preparing to take away my position as the head of the family!?"
"Why don't you tell me about the aliens, and I can consider making you the deputy head of the family?"
After being told this, Zhou Ziyu was immediately speechless and had no idea how to refute.
Wei Kang's one mistake completely ruined the plan, and she might not need to participate in the second round of trials at all.
At this time, the dignitaries watching could not help but point their fingers.
"Such a tiny detail is fussed over. It seems that there is indeed a mole within the Zhou family."
"If this is really the case, even if Zhou Ziyu passes the three trials and becomes the head of the family, the Zhou family's status in the imperial capital will be greatly reduced in the future."
"Yes, a big family like this has a heritage from ancient times. What they hate most is usurping the throne. If this is the case, I can keep a distance from the Zhou family."
All the words fell into Zhou Ziyu's ears.
She was speechless, tears welling up in her eyes.
She failed her grandfather and father's expectations, and she messed everything up.
"Zhou Ziyu, if you leave now, I can consider not holding you accountable, but if you continue, you will not only be punished."
"Even those who agree with you, I will not let go. They will all be buried with you when you die!"
Zhou Hui's words were aggressive, especially when she said the last threatening words, she glanced at Zhou Zhenzhong intentionally or unintentionally, as if to tell Zhou Ziyu that she already knew who was planning all this.
Zhou Ziyu panicked.
She was shaken.
If he continues, his father and grandfather will not only be punished by the Zhou family, but will even be looked down upon by all the merchants in the imperial capital.
She gritted her silver teeth and drew blood.
Shaking her head helplessly, she accepted the reality.
"I retreat..."
However, before she finished speaking, a big hand was placed on her shoulder, and at the same time a reassuring voice came: "I am here to ensure that you get the position of head of the family."
When Zhou Ziyu heard this, her delicate body trembled fiercely, she turned her head and looked at Lin Pingfan beside her: "Mr. Lin... you..."
At this moment, she couldn't use any words to describe her mood.
Lin Pingfan's mere words of "I'm here" filled her heart with security.
Whenever she is helpless and faced with difficulties, Lin Pingfan is always the first to stand up and give her the greatest confidence while helping her to overcome all difficulties.
Because he was wearing a mask, Zhou Ziyu couldn't see Lin Pingfan's expression.
But the eyes that were exposed were as calm as water, as if there was no obstacle to the difficulties in front of him.
Zhou Ziyu, who was originally depressed, gained confidence. She raised her eyebrows, straightened her chest, and said coldly to Zhou Hui: "Haha, I'm here to compete fairly for the position of the head of the family. How can I talk about internal and external cooperation?"
"I, Zhou Ziyu, will still accept the challenge!"
She is majestic and confident.
These words made Zhou Hui's face darken. She thought Zhou Ziyu could retreat despite the difficulties, but she didn't expect that she would dare to continue.
And he looked so confident, as if he had a winning ticket!
"Humph, since you are looking for death, then go ahead!"
Zhou Hui ignored it and sat on the chair, looking at everything on the stage indifferently, but her eyes were full of murderous intent.
Looking back at the arena, Zhou Chang and Wei Kang stood opposite each other, and the auras displayed by the two were evenly matched.
"Great Guardian, I'll give you three rounds." The corners of Wei Kang's mouth raised, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, as if he wanted to end Zhou Chang's life in this trial.
"I've heard about Poison Master Wei from the Blood Lotus for a long time, but when I saw him today, he indeed has the demeanor of a great master." Zhou Chang's face was indifferent, expressionless, and even his voice was devoid of any emotion.
"In terms of strength, you are not as good as me. I am sure I can kill you within three rounds."
"But when it comes to poisons, I'm ashamed of myself. Poison Master Wei's poisons are feared in the imperial capital. Even the God of War wouldn't dare to fight against them."
Zhou Chang's words made Wei Kang raise his eyebrows. Although these words made him very satisfied, it was considered a good deal in front of so many powerful people.
But he always felt that there was something in Zhou Chang's words.
"So!?" He asked back, and at the same time he had already taken out the small black bag from his waist.
"So I admit defeat." Zhou Chang spoke calmly, glanced at the black bag of tips, and said calmly.
These words immediately caused an uproar in the entire audience!
Even Wei Kang was stunned on the spot!
This was too decisive, and he didn't even compete and just chose to admit defeat.
Is it possible that the Zhou family’s face is no longer needed!?
