A Rebellious Plan

The Zhou Household has fallen into a trap, a trap that Zhou Xin willingly stepped into years ago.

It just took them a little longer than it did for Zhou Yueyan and the others.

If Zhou Xin enters the Old Age Mansion, Zhou Xin formidable abilities will be firmly imprisoned within.

This wasn't just the case for Zhou Xin; the same thing happened to Chang Kongluo and others when they were sent to the old mansion several years ago.

The devastating consequences of the turmoil in old age are unbearable, not only for the Scarlet Alliance State, but also for other nations.

For example, the British Alliance State only has two Seventh Sequence, Grenas and Pasteur, and Pasteur is a newly promoted Seventh Sequence expert in recent years. The whereabouts of the other elders are difficult to know.

Furthermore, the Aomeijia Alliance ensured that Montespatton was not controlled by others.

"Speaking of which..."

Zhang Xuezhou pondered for a long time.

He couldn't help but recall seeing Montesbatton dressed in tattered clothes in the past.

As they age, Montespatton seems to be avoiding conflict. Aside from participating in international disputes, he spends most of his time in the Qin-Meng region. Even the people around Montespatton are neatly dressed and clean, clearly not his allies.

"Tell me straight, stop beating around the bush. How do you come up with a more potent emetic? I'll give you my full support if you need it!"

After clarifying some things, Zhang Xuezhou fell into thought for a few seconds.

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou's hesitant manner, Zhou Yueyan couldn't help but feel anxious, wishing she could pry open his mouth and make Zhang Xuezhou speak quickly.

"Have you considered having Commissioner Zhou leave Western Capital City?" Zhang Xuezhou asked. "As long as he leaves Western Capital City, he won't cause trouble for the major Lineage!"

"That will also bring disaster to Lineage in other regions," Zhou Yueyan said helplessly. "As long as my father is in the Alliance States, no one will feel at ease!"

What about Alliance States?

"Alliance States? Other countries wouldn't welcome us either, you mean..."

Zhou Yueyan's mind returned to normal, and she realized that Zhang Xuezhou was hesitantly pointing to a certain area.

The Scarlet Alliance State needs Zhou Xin to enter the Old Age Mansion, but the Thousand Islands Alliance, the British Alliance State, and the Aomeijia Alliance are unlikely to grant Zhou Xin the right to reside there long-term. The remaining areas are not hard to guess.

"You want my dad to go to Qin Meng's place?" Zhou Yueyan asked hesitantly.

"Aside from the high risk of beast tides, long-term survival there isn't as difficult as you might imagine, even without supplies," Zhang Xuezhou said. "If you can agree on a location, you can meet up with Committee Member Zhou in Qinmeng. If you have any emetics, give them to Committee Member Zhou; if he has any ferocious beasts, he can give them to you."

"Isn't this setting my dad up for failure?"

"I'm just offering a suggestion," Zhang Xuezhou said, spreading his hands. "Hearing you say that the ferocious beasts are so good, and that we're just a little short of time for our Alliance States to produce a large number of Seventh Sequence experts, I'm really anxious!"

"Isn't this just sending my dad to Qinmeng?"

"If you think there's a better way, then go find it!"

Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand, indicating that he was not giving any unsolicited advice.

Zhou Xin Zhou Xin's predicament was difficult to break, leaving the choice to him.

Either settle down and retire peacefully, or go to Qinmeng and fight for a future for the Zhou Household.

The former leads to a peaceful and comfortable old age, while the latter faces unspeakable danger.

Qin Meng's biggest problem is not the high risk of encountering ferocious beasts, but the disorder and frenzy he has to face when confronted with beast tides.

As if naturally possessing a tendency to exclude outsiders, the first to be attacked during the beast tide were humans who did not belong to Qin Meng.

In the Qin Meng region, short-term adventures are not too risky. If you encounter a beast tide, you can only consider yourself unlucky. However, in the long run, you will inevitably face the baptism of beast tides, as there are few safe places to hide, whether in the sky or on the ground.

Zhang Xuezhou's suggestion wasn't new; he felt that Zhang Xuezhou and others could definitely have thought of it, but these people lacked a reason to live in Qinmeng for the long term.

The ferocious beast that Zhou Yueyan was pursuing was a compelling reason, even related to whether the Zhou Household could maintain its leading position in Western Capital City for decades to come.

"Our family... our family never even thought of this solution," Zhou Yueyan said awkwardly. "We even had a two-hour meeting a few days ago to discuss it!"

Although Zhou Yueyan felt this was a terrible situation, no different from being exiled to the frontier in ancient times, it was indeed a possible solution.

Compared to sending her to an old mansion, Zhou Yueyan felt that even this arrangement, which was a disservice to her father, was acceptable.

A person of Zhou Xin's character would find it difficult to choose comfort, and he would surely feel like each day was an eternity in his old age in the mansion, far less free and easy than Qin Meng.

Some people choose comfort, but others prefer to live a life of passion until the very last moment.

Zhou Xin was undoubtedly the latter.

Zhou Yueyan pondered for a few seconds, then made a phone call to communicate.

"Yueyan, did you really come up with this?"

"Absolutely! Dad, you don't trust my brilliant mind? This idea works wonders, right? If you hadn't come up with it in twenty-four hours, you'd be in jail!"

"It's impressive, but it's a bit like sacrificing family for the greater good. You need a lot of cunning to come up with this kind of plan!"

On the other end of the communication line, Zhou Xin's voice carried a mixture of relief and melancholy.

He was relieved because he still had the energy and didn't have to waste his time confined to his old mansion, but he was also disappointed because the plan was Zhou Yueyan's idea.

The seemingly comforting cotton-padded jacket had a rather rebellious streak, which made Zhou Xin feel conflicted for a while.

But he must admit that he really liked the plan.

The main reason why many elderly Sequence Holder in Western Capital City enter the Elderly Mansion is due to their unpredictability. They are prone to losing their rational thinking as their time to die approaches, which can lead to all sorts of bad consequences.

But as long as they leave Western Capital City and don't harm others, it won't affect anyone.

Zhou Xin was unwilling to die quietly and meaninglessly in one place, but his joining Qin Meng could indeed make a difference and even benefit future generations.

As long as Zhou Yueyan's research capabilities can keep up, his chances of hunting ferocious beasts are very high.

He might not be able to defeat the ferocious beast in a direct confrontation, but Zhou Xin was certain he could smear an emetic in its mouth. Once the beast was vomiting up a mouthful of vomit, cleaning up would be a breeze for him.

Zhou Xin was even capable of conducting targeted hunting to meet the needs of the Zhou Household.

Based on numerous cases, Zhou Xin is indeed likely to experience mental confusion in about five years, and his consciousness will become blurred in about ten years before he may lose control.

The time was neither long nor short.

Zhou Xin felt that entrusting these past few years to Qin Meng was a very good decision.

"Is that vomiting medicine you developed really effective against ferocious beasts without affecting their quality?"

When Zhou Xin pressed for answers, Zhou Yueyan was momentarily speechless and unable to provide a guarantee.

She held the communicator and winked at Zhang Xuezhou for a while.

But Zhang Xuezhou really couldn't guarantee anything on this matter.

Let alone the Spirit-Forging Pill, it's uncertain whether even the Creation Pill could affect ferocious beasts.

Without any prototypes to test, the theory of hunting ferocious beasts based on vomiting is a conjecture-based construct.

In theory, this hunting method is feasible.

However, in reality, they currently lack the most basic conditions for implementing the solution.
