Zhou Daoyi clearly understood his intentions; that was why he went through great efforts to find an egg of a Heavenly Wind Thunder Hawk to give to Zhou Zhiying, helping her resolve the awkward situation of not having a Spirit Pet.
As a Zhou Family cultivator and the sole disciple of Zhou Chun, it was indeed somewhat unreasonable not to have a Spirit Pet of sufficient caliber accompanying her!
However, given the current situation, it seems that the Heavenly Wind Thunder Hawk can accompany Zhou Zhiying for only a few centuries. Her future path is destined to be different from other Zhou Family cultivators.
Once she goes to that Secret Realm Island and inherits the legacy of the Great Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator, she will undoubtedly focus entirely on the Dao and her own cultivation, unlike Zhou Chun, who split his energy to cultivate Spirit Pets.
