Real game world: I am gifted and I suppress all monsters

Afterwards, Chen Qingzhou, with a worried look on his face, followed Cui Xiaokun from the Taotie Palace all the way to the fifth floor, where the core figures of the Cui family lived.

The two walked to a huge jade screen wall, on which were engraved nine dragons of various shapes. The carvings were intricate and lifelike, as if they would fly up into the sky at any time.

Chen Qingzhou saw Cui Xiaokun stopped in front of the screen wall, and quickly looked around, like a thief, and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing here? Aren't we going to the eighth floor?"

Cui Xiaokun smiled mysteriously and said nothing. He grabbed with the five fingers of his right hand, and a ball of white cold light appeared in the palm of his hand, making a "hissing" sound. Then Cui Xiaokun grasped the head of a white dragon.

Within three seconds, the screen wall broke in the middle and a door appeared.

Chen Qingzhou was shocked, "So there is a secret passage!"

Cui Xiaokun nodded and said, "Yes, we can go directly to the eighth floor from here." Then he stretched out his hand and motioned Chen Qingzhou to go in.

Chen Qingzhou asked curiously: "Aren't you going up?"

Cui Xiaokun shook his head and said, "My father said that he only saw you."

Chen Qingzhou took a breath of cold air, "Hey, let's not beat around the bush. Since this is your Cui family's secret passage, why did you let me know about it? Will your father kill me to silence me later?"

Cui Xiaokun was stunned when he heard this, then laughed and said, "You think too much. That's not true. My father specifically told me to bring you here. Besides, you don't know the Cui family's internal skills, so you can't open this door!"

"oh oh."

Only then did Chen Qingzhou muster up the courage to enter the room, feeling his way around, with a full sense of thieving.

As soon as you enter, there is a spiral mahogany staircase that can only accommodate one person. Chen Qingzhou then realized why he couldn't find the way up on the seventh floor. It turned out that the spiral staircase was hidden in such a thick hollow beam.

“Rich families just know how to have fun!”

Chen Qingzhou muttered in his heart, "This secret passage is so hidden, I wonder where the eighth floor is in the Cui family?"

While thinking, he went upstairs quietly, turned a few times, and went up about eight meters. The spiral staircase had reached the end, and Chen Qingzhou poked his head out from a wooden floor.

The space on this floor is not big, and the light is dim, with some candlelight faintly lit.

"You came."

The faint sound scared Chen Qingzhou half to death. He jumped up and looked around quickly. There was a candlestick not far in front of him. There was a tall figure standing next to it. The figure was not very clear under the dim light.

The man's voice was low, totally unlike the tiger's roar from before. He said in a hoarse voice, "Come here."

Chen Qingzhou noticed that Cui Longtou was acting a little strange, and looked around to make sure there was no third person around before he followed closely.

He slowly approached the candlestick. It was eerily quiet all around, and he kept muttering to himself, "This guy called me to such a secret place. Is he going to kill someone and hide the body?"

Thinking of this, he shuddered all over. He quickly concentrated his mind, stretched his right hand behind his head, and prepared to draw the Wanzhong Sword.

"Cui has the power to slay dragons. If you do that, it would be suicide."

The tone of this warning was plain, but it was very effective, keeping Chen Qingzhou firmly in place.

Chen Qingzhou thought of Xuanyuan Changqing's warning just now, and knew that he had indeed offended many people. He squeaked and whimpered a few times, "Cui... Senior Cui, I did speak out of turn after drinking just now. You are a great man and don't bear grudges. If you have any reprimands, come on, I will bear it!"

Unexpectedly, Cui Guangzong did not reprimand him. Instead, he sighed, his eyes still fixed on the front, and said, "Look at this."

Chen Qingzhou saw that his eyes were focused and his mountain-like back was slightly undulating, as if he was full of thoughts, so he bravely walked over.

Looking in the direction of the candlelight, Chen Qingzhou took a deep breath with a hiss. It turned out to be a memorial tablet with the words, "The memorial tablet of my beloved wife Fang Morou, respectfully erected by the unfaithful Cui Guangzong."

"Unfaithful person?"

Chen Qingzhou speculated in his mind, "Could it be that this guy, after becoming the leader, started to have affairs with other women and pissed off his wife to death?"

While he was daydreaming, Cui Guangzong spoke up, "Boy, you guessed right."

"I rely on!"

Chen Qingzhou was startled and thought to himself, "Can this guy read minds?"

Cui Guangzong continued, "The Mo Xiang Kuang was carefully brewed by my wife."

"what……"

Chen Qingzhou felt apologetic and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Cui, I was just guessing and it made you sad. I'm sorry!"

After saying that, he turned to the memorial tablet and bowed, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Cui Guangzong was not angry, but said gently: "Rou'er, look, I finally brought you the person you were talking about."

Chen Qingzhou's whole body trembled, his eyes widened. He didn't know the person on this tablet at all. What the hell was going on?

The next sentence won’t be “I’ll send him down to accompany you right now”!

It is illegal to offer sacrifices to the dead!

He asked tremblingly, "Boss Cui, you...are you kidding me?"

Cui Guangzong saw that he was a little scared, "Don't be afraid, let me ask you, how do you know the formula of Mo Xiang Kuang?"

Chen Qingzhou was still shaking all over. He didn't expect him to ask this. "I... I'm not sure either. I just drank a big bowl and then... I just guessed..."

Cui Guangzong's eyes shone, as if he didn't believe it. "Nonsense! Rou'er has been dead for ten years. How many people have come to drink this Moxiang Kuang in the past ten years? Why didn't anyone else say this?"

Chen Qingzhou spread his hands and said helplessly: "I really just made a rough guess. I do know some wine brewing methods, but... but it's mainly because those cold herbs are not often used in wine brewing. I also saw that your internal energy is full of Yin energy, so I thought of it together."

Cui Guangzong was silent for a long while, not knowing whether to believe it or not. He no longer paid attention to Chen Qingzhou, but sighed deeply and muttered to himself: "More than ten years ago, in order to help me defeat the second brother and ascend to the top position, Rou'er tried every possible way, worked day and night, exhausted all her efforts, and finally brewed Mo Xiang Kuang.

I drank it for several months, and my ancestral internal energy, the 'Cold Dragon Art', improved by leaps and bounds. The more I practiced, the more obsessed I became, and my martial arts became more and more advanced. Finally, I ascended to the top position as I wished, but...but I didn't notice that Rou'er's body was getting weaker and weaker. By the time the overall situation was decided and I turned back to look at her, it was too late..."

Cui Guangzong's voice became smaller and smaller, and he was choked with sobs.

Seeing him in such pain, Chen Qingzhou asked in a low voice, "Madam, what is wrong with you?"

Hearing this, Cui Guangzong's mountain-like body trembled a little. "It's not a disease, it's fate. Long-term hard work has accumulated depression and turned into illness. Just like you said, Rou'er later found that this Moxiang Kuang only has a short-term benefit for cultivation, and long-term drinking will inevitably harm the body. She advised me many times not to drink it, but at that time, the second brother pressed me hard, and I was obsessed with power and was determined to get the top position, so I didn't listen.

Seeing how stubborn I was, she put all the blame on herself. She was weak to begin with, and had occasionally vomited blood in order to brew the Mo Xiang Kuang. Later, she wanted to improve it, and had to work day and night. But I was killing and fighting all day, fighting for power, and I didn't care about her at all..."

Chen Qingzhou couldn't help but shook his head after listening to this. He thought that Cui Longtou must be regretting his decision. He lost the most important person for power and status. It really wasn't worth it. So he said, "The dead are gone. Take care of yourself, senior. But, you asked me to come here this time..."
