Starscream's face turned red instantly, knowing that he had flattered the horse's leg.
It is not popular to say the word "family" in the three major federations.
The only ones that can be openly called a family are families descended from grand masters.
As for Zhou Yue's original family, although there have been several mind cultivators, including those on the same level as himself, it can at best be called a "mind cultivator family".
This is also one of the differences between the three major federations and the free city-states. Unless you are a master, you cannot establish a family.
"Then tell me what the specific situation of that 'family' is."
Zhou Yue chuckled.
Starscream smiled awkwardly, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Young Master's home... has now been moved to Shanping Town in the capital above. Your grandfather and grandmother have passed away, and there is an uncle, an aunt, and an uncle in your immediate family.
An uncle is now a mind cultivator..."
Zhou Yue listened and opened the sealed scroll. Inside was detailed information compiled by Starscream, including the location of the old house, former neighbors, the birth and death dates of his grandparents, trivial life events, detailed information about his father's uncles, and even
There is detailed information about Zhou Yue’s cousins.
Although Zhou Yue was able to trace his memory back to his infancy, his knowledge was still limited.
The information compiled by Starscream was richer than Zhou Yue's imagination.
He is indeed a talent when it comes to collecting information.
"Because the four sons of the son's fathers are all quite gifted in mind cultivation, they have also won the third generation the qualification to go to the capital above for a state of mind assessment."
"According to the testing regulations implemented by the federal government 20 years ago, once two consecutive generations of a family are evaluated as having the talent for spiritual cultivation, the family will be eligible to move to the upper-class areas of the capital."
"Although there are many such families who can move their families from the ground level areas of the capital to the upper floors of the capital, they are also limited."
"Because of their talent, such families, although they have a weak foundation, are often given special care and can almost quickly gain a foothold in the upper echelons of the capital."
"However……"
At this point, Starscream's voice suddenly stopped.
Zhou Yue gently put down the scroll in his hand and smiled: "Don't stop, keep going."
Starscream glanced at Zhou Yue complicatedly, responded "Yes", and then continued: "However, sixteen years ago, on the eve of the Zhou family's talent evaluation, the youngest of the third generation was detected."
Mental imbalance', also commonly known as 'autism'.
One of the most obvious characteristics of this symptom is that the state of mind is fragile and it is difficult to concentrate, let alone practice mindfulness.
In other words, his talent for mind cultivation is zero.
His existence will make the Zhou family fail to jump to the upper level.
However, not long after that, his parents took him out of the capital, and finally came to Nanhe City in the Central Continent..."
At the end of Starscream's words, his voice couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Although when she first saw this information, she was already so shocked that she could hardly breathe.
But when she read it out loud, the uproar in her heart was no less intense than yesterday.
She made all the wrong decisions from beginning to end.
Zhou Yue has no relationship at all with the Grandmaster family in the capital!
His native family had only moved to the upper echelons of the capital fifteen years ago, and the person with the highest level of cultivation had only just moved to the Fourth Realm.
Zhou Yue has never even touched the glory of his original family.
Starting from an unknown city on the ground, from being a burden that was considered unable to practice, he leapt forward step by step, and finally became the new king of the Seventh Academy of the Relic Academy, the youngest teaching assistant in history - this is only his superficial identity!
In fact, this young man who had just turned eighteen years old was even able to tame an eighth-level grandmaster who caused a lot of trouble among the various grandmaster families in the capital, but they couldn't do anything, and he followed his lead.
After a brief shock, Starscream felt panicked.
Wait... He is so good, why do you want me to investigate his family?
Could it be that he was trying to hit me in order to make me feel more deeply the powerlessness I feel when facing a mysterious and unpredictable being like him?
Just when Starscream was in a state of confusion, Zhou Yue's voice sounded, "Is that all?"
Starscream hesitated for a moment and whispered: "My subordinates are incompetent and only found these."
Zhou Yue frowned slightly. This inadvertent action made Starscream's heartbeat speed up again.
What made Zhou Yue curious and feeling extremely uncomfortable, and even angry, was what happened that year that caused his father's telepathy to plummet and transform him from the second realm to an ordinary person?
That's right, in the information provided by Starscream, it is clearly written that the man named "Zhou Yi" has cultivated to the second level!
Although the second-level realm is not high, in my current perspective, he is just a passerby.
But looking at the entire earth plane, how many mind practitioners have completed spiritual transformation?
After all, the foundation of this world is that the vast majority of people are ordinary people with no telekinesis worth less than 100.
Those who practice mindfulness in the second realm are stronger than those in the first realm. Even if they are reduced to a city on the ground, they can still live a good life.
Besides, my father was only in his early twenties at that time and had not yet completed his "golden years of spiritual cultivation". He had every opportunity to go further!
What happened back then...that made Dad become an ordinary person?
Zhou Yue took a deep breath, his eyes filled with anger like a deep pool, and then closed his eyes slightly.
His memories stretch back to infancy.
Just like last time, intermittent memories, vague perceptions, and a state of sleeping longer than awake all limited the information he could obtain.
The memory continues to go back, and when we enter the Nanhe City period, every detail of our childhood and adolescence flies by like a slide.
As I grow older, the images and content become clearer and clearer.
Only then did Zhou Yue discover that his father, including his mother, had lived in depression for a long time when they first came to Nanhe City.
Even after his condition improved, my father would often get up alone late at night and stare at the window, sighing.
Come to think of it, it's not just because of the difficult living conditions.
Fortunately, as we grow older, our parents' mentality has improved a lot.
Dad, in particular, seems to really devote all his attention to the "business" of pet foster care.
But Zhou Yue understood that this kind of affection for pets was also the best choice a father could have.
After a long while, Zhou Yue slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
Opening his eyes, his eyes were filled with coldness.
He has made up his mind that no matter what happened back then, he will definitely find out the truth.
By then, there will be injustice to be repaid, and hatred to be avenged.
Zhou Yue calmed down and looked up at Starscream: "What about the situation on my mother's side...what's wrong with you?"
Starscream was seen sweating profusely, his face was pale, and his eyes were filled with fear.
"No, it's okay."
A wry smile appeared on Starscream's lips.
At that moment, an extremely terrifying thought suddenly erupted from the whole body of the young man opposite, like an unfathomable abyss of silence, or like a legendary ancient beast, with ferocious claws and claws, and a desire to choose others.
bite.
Is this the kind of murderous intent that you must have accumulated by killing so many lives with your own hands?
Zhou Yue didn't wait for Starscream's response and started reading by himself.
Just halfway through seeing it, he frowned slightly and murmured in a low voice: "My grandmother, aunt and others were 'beaten' and returned to the capital area?"
Starscream calmed down and said more respectfully: "That's what the capital's family transition system for mind cultivators is. As long as they fail to reach the standard line, they will be driven back to the lower ground area. Even the descendants of the former masters
, and cannot be forgiven. Of course, no grandmaster family has fallen into this situation so far."
Zhou Yue's expression remained as usual.
To be fair, this system is reasonable, with capable people taking the position and mediocre people resigning. It is also in line with the general environment of this era in which foreign troubles are constant and human beings need to strengthen themselves.
But from a personal perspective, Zhou Yue found it somewhat unacceptable.
After reviewing his memories as a baby, he already knew that he did not have no relatives in the capital. His aunts, including his grandmother, had protected his parents in times of crisis, as well as his "autistic" self at the time.
Twenty years ago, my mother's family situation was even better than my father's, and she had been living in the upper-class areas of the capital.
"Um?"
Zhou Yue's eyes stopped at his grandmother's birthday.
He finally found out the reason why his parents came to the capital at this time - grandma's birthday was more than half a month away, and she was also her seventieth birthday.
"Starscream, keep checking."
Zhou Yue closed the scroll, and a wisp of light as dark as night emerged from his fingers, crushing the scroll into powder and flowing out.
Starscream was startled: "Check...what?"
Zhou Yue said: "If you haven't found out anything, just check it out."
Starscream pursed his lips.
She originally wanted to tell Zhou Yue that she had found out another thing, but after thinking about it, she held back.
Let’s wait until everything is checked out before we talk.
Starscream calmed down, resigned and left.
In the suite where only Zhou Yue was left, Ercha climbed out again and landed on his knees. He looked up and stared at Zhou Yue. He saw that Zhou Yue was looking forward quietly, his eyes seeming to have penetrated the wall and cast his gaze into the distance.
Void.
Through the pet bar projection on the panel, Zhou Yue saw Hei Wuchang.
Hei Wuchang has also found his parents who are queuing up at a station to undergo security inspection and review.
It didn't show up, but acted as a bodyguard in secret.
Zhou Yue looked through Hei Wuchang's field of vision and saw his mother with a happy face, his father who was sighing from time to time, and a few practitioners pretending to be ordinary passengers not far away.
The cultivation levels of those mind cultivators ranged from the second to fourth realms, and they were all queuing up, but their eyes glanced at their parents from time to time.
Zhou Yue frowned and asked without thinking: "Old Hei, what's going on with those mind cultivators?"
Hei Wuchang, who was far away at a platform in an underground city, "trembled", his face showed surprise, then became embarrassed and angry, and finally gave a complicated sigh.
Although it has long been suspected, Zhou Yue has always been very careful against it in these matters.
It wasn't until today that it finally confirmed that Zhou Yue did have a way to "monitor" his every move!
This feeling made it feel uncomfortable all over, but there was nothing it could do about it.
"Humph, what else could happen? I'm being followed." Hei Wuchang said angrily.
A trace of anger surged in Zhou Yue's heart: "Then you still won't take action?"
Hei Wuchang sneered: "Zhou Yue, can't you see them clearly? Look at them carefully."
Zhou Yue was so anxious that he didn't pay attention to the hole that Hei Wuchang dug for himself. Through Hei Wuchang's eyes, he carefully looked at a Nian Xiu who was pretending to buy a newspaper, and saw that he was struggling to support his waist, his eyes were black and blue——
It doesn't look like a black eye, more like a beating.
"Did you beat him?" Zhou Yue's tone softened slightly.
Hei Wuchang said quietly: "With your great Master Zhou's popularity in the spiritual world, do you still need me to take action?"
Zhou Yue was slightly stunned. He followed Hei Wuchang's gaze and saw a miracle fire frog in the shadow behind the railing of the subway station.
The Miracle Fire Frog also saw Black Impermanence.
It obviously didn't know Hei Wuchang's true identity. It just assumed that the black cat stopped here for the same purpose as itself. It grinned like a "comrade" and then pointed at Zhou's father and Zhou's mother.
, Fire Claw gestured up and down for a moment, then patted his butt, said goodbye to Hei Wuchang, and ran into the entrance to the underground spirit world deep in the tunnel.
"This is..." Zhou Yue had a strange expression.
Hei Wuchang explained: "It said that it has protected all the way, and now it is going back to the spiritual world to collect Bulbasaur fire seeds. Please ask this cat to continue to protect those two humans...that is, your parents."
Zhou Yue is still puzzled: "But, why is it..."
Hei Wuchang was obviously a little impatient: "You forgot that when you left Nanhe City, you asked the miraculous creatures of Nanhe City to help take care of them! Now that they have nothing to do and have to leave Nanhe City, the miraculous creatures of Nanhe City naturally have to accompany them.
Take care of them! The journey is too far to follow, so they will also ask the nearby miraculous creatures to take care of them! Don’t you understand such a simple truth? You are the only dog whisperer in the human and spiritual worlds. Of course these simple miraculous creatures will
Help you take care of your parents! Really, I kept asking if it bothers me... Humph!"
Zhou Yue's heart trembled slightly, and then, a continuous warmth came from all directions, surrounding him.
Parents who rely on each other and talk and laugh happily.
Various miraculous creatures guarding the shadows of subway stations.
As well as those mind cultivators who were dressed in disguise, but had strange expressions and fear hidden deep in their eyes.
…
As he watched, a smile appeared on Zhou Yue's face.
The anger in my heart also faded a lot.
He is no longer even anxious to find the forces behind these people who spy on his parents.
No matter how powerful these mind cultivators are, as long as they are still on the earth plane, they will not harm their parents at all.
Because their son is the Southern Cat Master who only kills monsters in his life.
In the earth plane, no miraculous creature will allow them to be harmed.
"Master Hei, please continue to stare. Don't be impatient. Think about how my father loved you before. I will join you in the lower capital in a few days."
Zhou Yue withdrew his mental vision.
In the suite of the Mermaid Club, Zhou Yue gently stroked Ercha.
"So, you are going back to the capital this time to celebrate grandma's birthday?"
"Strange, why didn't you call me?"
"After all, your son has been admitted to Zhonglu College. Don't you want to show off? You don't know how to take advantage of your son at critical times."
Zhou Yue sighed softly, but had already made up his mind.
…
Upper capital.
The most central urban area.
Deep in that majestic and ancient building that represents the highest authority of the Federation, there is a light-tight secret room.
A middle-aged man wearing military uniform and looking at the holographic projection screen, a middle-aged couple chatting and laughing happily while waiting for review at the subway station.
Take another look at the report sent by your subordinates.
His blade-like eyebrows were raised upward, and a rare look of caution finally appeared in his eyes.
