"Don't be polite, you are my own brother after all!"
Zhou Yi was very affectionate towards him, as if he truly considered Zhou Xiong his elder brother.
In actuality, relatives such as parents and siblings meant little to Zhou Yi. He had personally killed several of his adopted sons and had long since developed the disposition of preferring to let down the whole world rather than himself.
Getting close to family members now was also just for utilitarian purposes.
After all, an orphan without parents or children was someone the emperor dared not employ extensively, such a minister without vulnerabilities acted most recklessly and was also very difficult to control.
Hence, one might care little for the family, but must pretend to care!
"That is very good."
Zhou Xiong nodded repeatedly, his anxious thoughts somewhat relieved.
