When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Chapter 291 People from Jade Void Sect

Who could be ringing their own doorbell so early in the morning?

Did the neighbor forget their keys?

Zhu Chongjiu muttered something under his breath but didn't open the door directly. Instead, he turned on the video intercom.

Upon seeing that they were two men in suits, Zhu Chongjiu asked, "Who are they?"

"Is this Mr. Huang?"

We're here to discuss the acquisition of those two jade pendants and that sword!

"Damn it, they've even found their home?"

These people are incredibly resourceful.

After thinking it over, Zhu Chongjiu replied "Not for sale" and then hung up the video intercom.

However, before Zhu Chongjiu could hang up the intercom and walk back to the kitchen, the doorbell rang again.

Zhu Chongjiu strode to the doorbell, turned on the intercom, and angrily replied, "I said I'm not selling. If you continue like this, I'll call the police."

After saying that, Zhu Chongjiu ignored the other person's reply and hung up the intercom again.

"Husband, who is it?"

Seeing his wife come out of the bedroom with the child and ask him a question, Zhu Chongjiu replied indifferently, "Wrong building."

"Dinner's ready. You and your eldest daughter eat first. I have something to take care of downstairs."

After saying that, Zhu Chongjiu began to get dressed and went downstairs.

"What's up? Why are you downstairs so early?"

When his wife asked him a question, Zhu Chongjiu told a lie.

"Ah, a colleague I used to work with."

He asked to borrow some tools from me.

The tools are in my car; I'll go get them for him.

As he spoke, Zhu Chongjiu quickly changed his clothes, opened the door, and went downstairs.

They've all found their homes, and even if they weren't allowed upstairs, given the current situation, they'll definitely be waiting for their families downstairs.

Therefore, when Zhu Chongjiu hung up the intercom for the second time, he already realized that this problem had to be solved immediately.

Upon arriving on the first floor, Zhu Chongjiu saw that the two men in suits and ties had indeed not left and were waiting inside the building entrance.

The elevator doors opened, and Zhu Chongjiu walked in with a gloomy expression. One of the people immediately greeted him with a smile and said, "Mr. Zhu, I'm sorry to bother you so early."

"If you know it's embarrassing, then don't do it anymore."

"Speak, what brings you two here?"

After rebuking the two of them, Zhu Chongjiu continued to ask questions.

"I heard that you obtained two mutated jade pendants and a sword."

We've come to discuss the acquisition price with Mr. Zhu.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chongjiu thought to himself, "The person's tone is very respectful and ingratiating."

However, the meaning behind his actions and words was extremely domineering.

Their behavior goes without saying.

They've started blocking their own doors.

The implication is that they're directly asking you the price, not whether you're selling.

"What's wrong?"

"So you're saying I have to sell these things, whether I want to or not?"

After thinking it over, Zhu Chongjiu went straight to the point and asked the person opposite him.

Seeing that Zhu Chongjiu's tone was unfriendly, the person opposite him continued to persuade him with a smile:

"Mr. Zhu, you should know this."

Even if you had those items in your hands, you wouldn't be able to hold onto them. It would be more practical to exchange them for a substantial sum of money.

To avoid a situation where everything falls apart later, which would be a huge loss.

Hearing the obvious threat from the newcomer, Zhu Chongjiu angrily said, "Even if the world has changed."

But this land is still a society governed by the rule of law.

If you push me too far, I'll fight to the death rather than let you have it!

"Mr. Zhu, we have thoroughly investigated your background and that of your family."

I can tell you that clearly as well.

Before the spiritual energy revival, we wouldn't have cared about these things.

But as you said, the world has changed. Even in a society governed by the rule of law, what my "Jade Void Sect" desires, we must obtain!

Seeing Zhu Chongjiu's determination, the other party no longer held back.

He directly threatened her with a cold face.

"Jade Void Sect, humph!"

Have you really investigated my background thoroughly?

Now that you've investigated thoroughly, why don't you know who gave me those items?

Since we've already come this far, I'm not afraid to tell you.

Those two jade pendants were talismans for possession.

Once that sword arrives, there's no need to say more.

The king of soldiers, whose primary purpose is killing!

A talisman and a killing weapon at the same time, what do you think the person who gave it to me was thinking?

Is it all for the safety of my whole family?

Since you say you are a member of the Jade Void Sect, have you received such a treasure from the sect?

Forget about my life. Even if I or my family lose a single hair, your Jade Void Sect cannot bear the consequences.

"Take care of yourself!"

After saying that, Zhu Chongjiu didn't give the two a chance to reply. Instead, he turned around, went back into the elevator, swiped his card, and went upstairs.

"How to do?"

Seeing this, one of the visitors asked the other.

"According to the information we received, those items are indeed extraordinary."

Zhu Chongjiu is right. This matter is a bit tricky. Let's both return to the sect and report to the elders so they can make a decision."

"That's right, the person who can give away such a valuable treasure must be of extraordinary status."

Even if we manage to forcibly obtain those treasures now, they won't end up in our hands.

We also risk angering the people behind Zhu Chongjiu.

Not worth the candle.

Let the elders figure out a solution themselves!

After the two finished their discussion, they appeared and quickly disappeared into the residential area where Zhu Chongjiu lived.

"You've already gotten your tools. Didn't you say there wasn't any work for a while? Why did your coworker borrow your tools?"

"Hi!

It wasn't for work; it was just a relative renovating the house, so they needed to use some tools.

After answering his wife's question, Zhu Chongjiu lost his appetite for breakfast and instead picked up his phone to search for the Jade Void Sect that the two people downstairs had mentioned.

If you don't search, you don't know.

The Jade Void Sect has quite a background.

It is a sect created by a very powerful ancient god in ancient mythology.

I just don't know if this Jade Void Sect is better than the Jade Void Sect.

I also searched for official information about the Jade Void Sect online.

Many of these discrepancies with the legends reassured Zhu Chongjiu somewhat.

During this time, his wife urged Zhu Chongjiu to eat, but he refused, saying he wasn't hungry.

After his wife and children finished breakfast, Zhu Chongjiu turned off his phone and thought to himself, "The world is changing, and turmoil is beginning."

For ordinary people like myself, all I can do is take it one step at a time.

That night, just as it was time to turn off the lights and go to sleep, Zhu Chongjiu suddenly felt as if his back was being burned.

He was in so much pain that he suddenly swore.

Seeing that his wife, who had just fallen asleep, was startled by Zhu Chongjiu's sudden outburst, she muttered under her breath, "What are you doing? Are you crazy?"

"What did you put on the bed, my wife?"

There are still electrical wires on the bed. I feel like something burned my back.

"It hurts so much!"

After saying this, Zhu Chongjiu turned his back to his wife, and tears involuntarily streamed down his face.

That feeling of sorrow welled up in my heart once again.

However, he attributed this sudden burst of tears more to the burning pain in his back that had just occurred.

Seeing her husband's sudden reaction, the wife quickly went over to take a look and exclaimed softly:

"Why?

How come you suddenly have a birthmark on your back?

It looks like a flame!

"What the hell?

birthmark?

"I got a birthmark in my thirties, honey, are you kidding me?"

"If you don't believe it, see for yourself!"

After the wife finished speaking, she took a picture with her phone and handed it to Zhu Chongjiu.

After taking the phone, Zhu Chongjiu looked at the photos his wife had just taken.

Suddenly, a birthmark the size of a baby's palm appeared on his back, between his two shoulder blades.

Moreover, this brown birthmark looks just like a burning flame.

Seeing this, the couple studied it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

In the end, Zhu Chongjiu concluded that he should go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow.

After all, he had just met those two people this morning, and then such a strange thing happened to his back that evening.

Most importantly, the two of them claimed to be from the incredibly mysterious Jade Void Sect.

This is something we absolutely must be wary of.

The next day, after breakfast, his wife took half a day off from work to accompany Zhu Chongjiu to the hospital to check on the birthmark that had suddenly appeared.

After the doctor examined him and said there wasn't a major problem, Zhu Chongjiu underwent a series of tests, including blood and urine tests, just to be on the safe side.

Seeing that all the indicators were normal, Zhu Chongjiu was relieved.

Another week has passed.

One good thing is that ever since those two people were scared away by Zhu Chongjiu's attempt to intimidate them, they haven't received any more calls trying to buy those items.

However, just as Zhu Chongjiu was sunbathing with his child in the park in the residential area, a series of loud noises suddenly came from afar.

Moreover, the continuous loud noises were rapidly approaching their location.

Upon hearing the sound, Zhu Chongjiu shouted loudly to the parents who were also taking their children out to sunbathe, "Quickly take your children to a safe place."

After shouting, Zhu Chongjiu immediately picked up the child and ran quickly in the opposite direction from which the sound came.
