Chapter 59: The Past of Parents! It's Better to Have Misunderstood!

"Captain Jia, are you looking for me for something?" Zhou Chu couldn't help but ask.

"I heard that you encountered a secret invasion by the Calamity Legion in the Secret Realm Tower in Tianhua City today."

"As soon as the National Security Bureau received the news, they immediately issued orders to the Exorcism Army Headquarters."

"Now, the mission for the entire Exorcism Army is for each squad to follow the principle of proximity and go to the copies and secret realms in major cities to investigate the situation of the Calamity invasion."

"I am currently preparing to go to Tianhua City to provide support."

"If you aren't busy, let's meet in a while."

Jia Mengshan sounded very excited, chattering away incessantly.

"What do you need me for?" he then asked.

Zhou Chu immediately said, "Captain Jia, please help me look up someone named Chu Shuangshuang in the Exorcism Army. I want to know which unit she is in and what position she currently holds."

"Chu Shuangshuang?" Jia Mengshan pondered for a moment and said, "Who is she to you?"

"She is my biological aunt!" Zhou Chu replied.

Jia Mengshan couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart and hurriedly asked, "Then is your father named Zhou Zhengguo, and your mother named Chu Ningzhi?"

Zhou Chu nodded in surprise: "Captain Jia knows my parents too?"

Jia Mengshan couldn't help but let out an exclamation, saying excitedly: "More than just know them! Your parents were veterans of the Exorcism Army Reconnaissance General Brigade, and they were my old leaders!"

"I never expected you to be the son of Team Leader Zhou and Instructor Chu. This is truly wonderful."

"Sigh, if your parents were still here, they would definitely be proud of you."

As he spoke, Jia Mengshan couldn't help but sigh with a sense of melancholy.

Hearing Jia Mengshan's words, Zhou Chu felt a sudden jolt in his heart.

He only knew that his parents had disappeared six years ago while executing a mission on the front lines and had been missing without a trace ever since.

He never imagined that they had held such important positions in the Exorcism Army Reconnaissance General Brigade, and that they had even been Jia Mengshan's leaders.

Yet, he had known nothing about this past.

For a moment, a surge of various emotions welled up in his heart.

Jia Mengshan was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, then slowly said: "Your parents were both remarkable figures in the Exorcism Army. Your father, Zhou Zhengguo, was famously courageous and resourceful."

"Every time he executed a reconnaissance mission, no matter how dangerous the situation, he could always lead his team members to complete the mission brilliantly. Because of this, he had extremely high prestige throughout the Reconnaissance General Brigade, and everyone respected him deeply."

"And your mother, Chu Ningzhi, although she was a woman, she was no less capable than any man."

"She was not only proficient in various reconnaissance techniques but was also a tactical expert. The success of many operations could not have been achieved without the tactical plans she meticulously devised behind the scenes."

"She was also especially caring toward the team members, just like a big sister, and everyone affectionately called her Instructor Chu."

"The two of them were a golden duo in the Exorcism Army Reconnaissance General Brigade; they participated in countless important operations against the Calamity together and made great contributions to protecting our Shenxia. It's just a pity..."

When Jia Mengshan reached this point, his voice choked up a little; he paused before continuing, "It's just a pity that during a reconnaissance mission, they accidentally fell into a Calamity copy and have been missing ever since."

"And your aunt is also very remarkable. She is the Captain of the Owl Dragon Elite Squad, which is a renowned team in the Exorcism Army, and her prestige in the army is also very high."

"Currently, your aunt and her team are assisting the Reconnaissance Second Team and the Vanguard Team in carrying out clearing missions near the 15th and 18th Demon Caves on the Southern Battlefield."

"Although it is extremely dangerous there, your aunt has always been courageous and resourceful, and the Owl Dragon Elite Squad she leads are all experts; they will surely be able to handle it." Jia Mengshan tried his best to speak in a tone that would put Zhou Chu at ease.

Listening to these past events regarding his parents and aunt, Zhou Chu felt shocked once again.

His predecessor had never truly tried to understand their deeds, knowing only that his parents were missing and that his aunt was quietly taking care of him, while remaining completely ignorant of their sacrifices in the Exorcism Army.

Although Jia Mengshan's tone sounded very calm, Zhou Chu felt that the mission Chu Shuangshuang was currently executing was definitely not ordinary.

Now that even Calamity Heroes were being dispatched to various cities to cause secret realm invasions, the Demon Caves in the south that had appeared long ago must be even more dangerously abnormal.

Zhou Chu decided that before the College Entrance Exam, it was necessary to make a trip to the Southern Battlefield.

"Captain Jia, I want to go to the 15th and 18th Demon Caves!" Zhou Chu said immediately.

Upon hearing this, Jia Mengshan hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "Little Chu, 15 and 18 are different from 69; those are major Calamity disaster zones, and the Magic Source Cores inside have long been deeply rooted."

"With your current strength, going there is truly too dangerous; you must not be impulsive."

"Your aunt and the others are all Third-turn Soul Professionals, elites of the Exorcism Army with rich practical experience, and even they have to be extremely cautious."

"You are still just a student; although you have grown in terms of Soul Profession, compared to them, the gap is still very large."

Zhou Chu couldn't help but ask: "What about compared to 55? How come I heard that 55 has always been a place that gives the upper echelons of the Exorcism Army a headache, yet wasn't it taken down by me?"

That was only because you had the help of that expert, wasn't it?

Jia Mengshan almost blurted it out, but in the end, he held back.

Without having definitely met this expert, he could only speak vaguely: "The complexity is different, but it won't be any less than 55."

"So, you had better dispel this thought as soon as possible and focus on preparing for the College Entrance Exam."

"Alright, that's all for now. I'll be busy once I arrive in Tianhua City, so let's not meet this time!"

Jia Mengshan likely feared Zhou Chu would pester him, as he hung up the phone in a split second.

Zhou Chu curled his lips helplessly.

It seemed that counting on Jia Mengshan to take him to 15 and 18 was impossible; he would have to rely on himself.

However, as for how to go, Zhou Chu currently had no way.

Perhaps...

After the Hero Tomb successfully reshapes Gadi tomorrow, there might be a way.

And before that, Zhou Chu had to first grind the proficiency of his Soul Shield, and then rely on Experience Stones to raise his level to 15.

At that time, he would be able to obtain the opportunity for a third Divine Fusion.

Then, his third god-level servant would be able to emerge.

With three god-level servants and a god-level Soul Shield, he would have an extra layer of protection when going there.

Taking another look at the note full of "love" that Chu Shuangshuang had written for him, Zhou Chu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He Muxue must have misunderstood, which was why she left so angrily.

Zhou Chu was terrified of a misunderstanding, yet he had misunderstood after all!

But it was just as well that there was a misunderstanding; it would be best to have this marriage contract annulled as well, to avoid being pestered by the He Family.

A family poisoned by such antiquated traditions was truly terrifying.

Even if he were to truly become a son-in-law of the He Family in the future, life would not be very easy.

Therefore, Zhou Chu stopped overthinking, filled his stomach, went out, and then found a Training Center to grind his skill proficiency once again.
