The Unknown God of War

Zhou Yao was the most accomplished descendant of his generation. His parents had arranged for him to be the next in line to be the patriarch, and he was currently greeting the guests at the entrance.

He was dressed in a dark green military uniform, which made him look gallant and handsome.

His polite and hospitable demeanor made him very popular among the guests. They regarded him as a rare prodigy for being so accomplished at a young age.

With him at the helm, there was a chance that the Zhou family would rise again.

Some of the guests that were around his age were regarding him with admiration. The women were discussing him excitedly.

"Wow, is that Zhou Yao? He looks so handsome."

"I've heard that he's already a lieutenant general at such a young age. Grandmaster Zhou skipped a generation and appointed him as the next patriarch of the Zhou family. He has a bright future ahead of him!"

"Not only that, my cousin is an ace student of the Yenching Military Academy, and General Yang Jingyu, the leader of the Yenching military region, has recognized him as his godson. It's only a matter of time before my cousin is promoted to general!"

Zhou Li's chin was lifted high as she bragged about her cousin Zhou Yao. She felt very smug when she heard the other people praising him, as though she was the one being praised.

She could not help but feel proud when she saw the guests streaming into the courtyard. It was proof that the Zhou family was still prospering, thanks to the young descendants.

Chu Feng, the b*stard child who was not worthy of entering the family records, could never hope to achieve this.

Zhou Li chuckled and scanned the area for Chu Feng. She could not wait to see Chu Feng and his family being helplessly bullied and battered once more.

Several relatives from the older generation were sitting in the grand hall. They regarded Zhou Yao proudly.

Zhou Yang, the eldest of the siblings, was dressed in an expensive suit. "Wen, Yao is becoming more and more like the patriarch of the family. That's pretty amazing," he said.

"Heheh, Yao has always been an intelligent boy, but he lacks experience," Zhou Wen, the second among the siblings, said with a grin on his face. He was dressed in a tunic and wore gold-rimmed spectacles, but the pride in his eyes was evident for all to see.

"You're so humble, Wen. I'm sure you've been a good role model to your son. That is the way how a Zhou family descendant should behave," Yu Hui said in an attempt to flatter Zhou Wen. "Yao is an actual descendant of the Zhou family. He's so much better than some random 'adopted' b*stard child."

As she said that, she glared at Zhou Lie and Liu Minglan from the corner of her eye.

The other Zhou family members grinned knowingly. They could not wait for the drama to start.
