Chapter 673 Young Master of the Zhou Family
Chapter 673 Young Master of the Zhou Family
Xue Qinglin was extremely excited and talked about some things about the Zhou family in the imperial capital: "This time, the one who came from the royal Zhou family is Zhou Yuqian from the younger generation. He is young and suave, and the key is that he has a high rank. I heard from the seniors in our school that he just waved his hand and the people around him couldn't even stand! There are seven cousins in their generation, all of whom are high-level Returning True Persons. This Zhou Yuqian is the cousin of the young master of the Zhou family. He has wood-type abilities. Speaking of this young master of the Zhou family, he is also very legendary. The father of the young master of the Zhou family is the head of the Zhou family of this generation. According to ancient sayings, that is the emperor! Of course, the head of the Zhou family in the current Dasheng Empire is also an invisible emperor, but after he got married, he has had no heirs. The children of other brothers were born one after another, but Zhou The patriarch had no offspring, so under pressure from his family and his father, he took another woman. However, the other woman gave birth to several daughters, but no sons. It was only a few years later that the patriarch's wife finally became pregnant, and ten months later, she gave birth to the patriarch's legitimate son! This is the current young master, the seventh of his generation. It is said that when he was born, a strange phenomenon occurred in the Zhou family, which alarmed the old patriarch, who had retired. The old patriarch loved the child as soon as he saw him, and personally named him Zhou Yuheng. Their generation was named after the character "Yu", but when the old patriarch wrote three "Yu" characters with his own hand, he accidentally wrote "Emperor". So, the old patriarch simply wrote the young master's name on the imperial jade book - Zhou Diheng!
Xue Qingwu was a little stunned and asked, "So, the Zhou family's young master, Zhou Diheng, is the youngest male heir of this generation?"
Xue Qinglin nodded. "Yes, but the Zhou family is very low-key, and the young master is even more so. There are no photos or information about him. The young master's cousin, Zhou Yuqian, is also very tight-lipped. My seniors haven't heard him reveal a single word about the young master."
Xue Qingwu nodded and suddenly asked, "The Zhou family head already has a wife, so how can he marry another woman? Then can the children they have be included in the Zhou family tree?"
Xue Qinglin was confused for a while by his third sister's question. The arc of this turn was quite big!
"Sister, you must know this! A noble and aristocratic Returned True Man can marry three wives and four concubines. Their marriages are not subject to government control or legal judgment, and women are willing to throw themselves into their arms one after another. This is much more cost-effective than marrying an ordinary person. Even if she becomes a mistress, at least the future of the woman's family will be guaranteed! However, it cannot be denied that the marriage law is ineffective. It can restrict women! The power of control over women is absolute. You know the mayor of Fengcheng, the third-ranked city, right? He only married one woman, but he used the privilege that only Returned True Man can have, which is to become his wife's guardian at the same time, and he has absolute power over her!"
In fact, it means that the woman has relatively lost some of her autonomy. Her work, study, and matters in life that require her ID card and passport, including traveling to distant places, all require the approval of the Lord of Fengcheng City. This is equivalent to the loss of some human rights and freedoms of the wife of the Lord of Fengcheng City.
Xue Qingwu was stunned for a moment. "It seems that in this new world, the government has granted many special rights to returning True People! Only in this way can the balance of this world be maintained."
Unfortunately, it was purchased at the expense of the interests and freedom of some people.
"That can't be helped, sister. Rights and obligations are equal. The contributions of a Returning True Person to this world cannot be replaced by an ordinary person's life and work for ten lifetimes. Why can't they enjoy rights that ordinary people can't touch? Moreover, they are influenced by their supernatural powers and have a strong possessive desire for their partners. Perhaps it's the influence of the five elements, and they can't completely control it themselves!"
This reminded Xue Qingwu of a news story he'd seen on his phone a while ago. A man who had returned to the Pure Land had used his supernatural powers during the day, but at night, while with his partner, he lost control of his powers. His body suddenly grew in size, his energy surged, his eyes changed color, and he killed his partner in bed. The next day, unable to bear the shock, the man slowly dissipated his powers!
In short, although mid-level and high-level Return to True Man are powerful, they are also very dangerous, especially for their women. Not only do you have no freedom, but you also have to worry about dying in bed one day.
Xue Qingwu wondered secretly, was the government doing this on purpose? They exploited women to grant them the privilege of returning to the True Person, yet at the same time benefited the entire world, fundamentally preventing the True Person from using their violence and force elsewhere. Xue Qingwu felt a chill run down her spine as she thought of this.
"What's with the eyes that change color when you return to real life?"
Xue Qinglin replied, "It has something to do with the five elements they've awakened. Sister, I have fire-type abilities. Look at my eyes. When I use my abilities, they turn a faint red!"
Xue Qingwu watched his brother begin to show off his light red eyes and said sternly, "Lin'er, you have to work hard! When you grow up, try to control all the supernatural powers in your body. Don't let your abilities become inflated during training and then explode with a bang!"
Xue Qinglin's face turned pale and blue: "Sister, you are gloating! I told you so many secrets in vain!"
Xue Qingwu hurriedly tried to soothe her furious brother. She wondered if Zhou Diheng was actually Zhou Xuheng. He was also the seventh child in the family, and the youngest of the younger generation.
If Zhou Diheng had returned to his true form, would he have already had another woman? Would it be just Zhou Diheng? Would he have no memories of his past life?
