Ling'er put down the work in hand, followed Chen Xuan into the room, Chen Xuan had already poured a glass of water and put it on the table when Linger entered the room.
"Master, what do you want from me?" Ling'er said crisply.
"Let's drink a glass of water first, you're sweating profusely." Chen Xuan handed over the water.
"Master Xie!" Ling'er took a sip and put the cup on the table.
"Did something happen to the family recently? Why did I see everyone's expressions were wrong when I came back, and everyone had a forced smile on their faces." Chen Xuan asked.
"This..." Ling'er hesitated for a moment, "Master, don't ask about this matter, Ling'er doesn't know." Linger's eyes flicked from side to side, not daring to face Chen Xuan.
"Ling'er, don't even I know? You came to serve me when I was ten years old. It's been almost ten years now. Are you still worried about your young master? Tell me, I won't Said it."
"Young master, don't force me, I really don't know, besides, isn't the family doing well now? Everyone is happy that the young master is back. Today, the madam ordered the kitchen to make a lot of delicious food to clean up the dust for you." Ling'er circled off topic.
"Little girl, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you're starting to play sloppy with your young master. Tell me quickly, I'm also a member of this family, and I have the right to know." Chen Xuan was slightly angry.
"I don't dare, how dare I lie to the young master, if the young master doesn't understand, you can ask the master and madam." Ling'er said aggrievedly.
Seeing that Ling'er felt like crying, Chen Xuan hurried over and touched Ling'er's head, "I didn't call you on purpose just now, I was also in a hurry, don't mind." Chen Xuan put away his anger and said softly .
Linger's tears fell immediately, and she kept sobbing next to Chen Xuan, "The young master comes back once every two years, and he calls Linger when he comes back. Linger doesn't know what he did wrong. It's been ten years. It has been nine years since I started serving the young master, and the young master has never said anything about Ling'er, does the young master hate Ling'er?" Ling'er sobbed.
"No, why would I hate you? Although you have always been a servant girl these years, since when did I treat you as a servant girl? I have always regarded you as my own sister. What happened today is my fault. It's time to shout at you, young master, I'm sorry, don't cry anymore, if you cry, you will become a tabby cat."
"Puchi!"
Ling'er snorted, bursting into laughter, "It's not that Ling'er won't tell you, the young master. Besides, Ling'er is just a servant, and what he knows is limited. The master has something to say in the morning. Let the young master have fun for a few days, two days later, The master just wants the young master to return to the sect, don't delay your cultivation, the future of the Chen family depends on you, and Ling'er only found out this morning." Ling'er stopped crying and said to Chen Xuan.
"Okay, I won't force you anymore. You can go out and do some work. You don't need to tidy up the yard anymore. I'll go for a walk."
"That Ling'er is gone!" After speaking, Ling'er walked out of Chen Xuan's room.
Chen Xuan glanced at the direction Ling'er was going out, and glanced at Ling'er's back, "This girl has also learned to lie in the past two years, and she obviously didn't tell the truth to herself just now. As long as he knew before, there was no one for herself. I don't know, it seems that Ling'er has grown up, this time I have to tell my parents, find a husband's house for Ling'er, I don't need any maids here." Chen Xuan stood there and muttered .
After tidying himself up briefly, he put on a light white black shirt. Chen Xuan didn't choose to dress up, and returned to the family. Chen Xuan gave up any cultivation. During this time, he was ready to spend time with his parents. There is another important matter, but this is not the time, let's talk about it when the time comes, Chen Xuan arranged all the things and relaxed, Chen Xuan stepped out of his room.
"Father, mother!" Chen Xuan came to the yard where his parents lived and saw them sitting in the yard. shouted.
"Xuan'er, you're here, did you sleep well last night?" His mother Chen Xuan asked concerned.
"Very good mother, I want to go out for a walk today, maybe I won't be back until evening." Chen Xuan walked over and said.
"Okay, kid, it's okay to go out for a walk, but you have to pay attention to safety, you know?"
"Got it, mother, then I'm leaving." After speaking, Chen Xuan also greeted his father, and walked out of the yard.
Along the way, Chen Xuan met a lot of acquaintances. Chen Xuan went up to say hello one by one, but everyone showed a smile that was uglier than crying. Chen Xuan basically knew now that something must have happened to the family, but now Everyone seems to be hiding it from me, so I simply don't ask, the best way is to go out and inquire by myself, do they think they can hide it from me
After passing through Chen Xuan's gate, Chen Xuan walked towards the street. Many shops have opened their doors now. The flags on most of the shops on both sides of the street are written with a Chen Zi. It seems that the Chen family has basically monopolized Hongling Town Most of the resources.
After crossing the street, Chen Xuan found a tea house not owned by Chen's family. He walked in and chose an elegant seat. Right in front of him was a clear lake with lotus leaves resembling straw hats floating on the lake. Douyan, it's autumn now, and a lot of lotus seeds on the lake have matured. Many old people are leading their children to play by the lake, picking lotus pods, lotus leaves, and playing in the lake water. A peaceful scene appears in the In front of Chen Xuan's eyes.
Chen Xuan sat down and asked for a pot of clear green tea. He was full of thoughts. Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Xuan's thoughts returned to the place where he originally lived. He didn't know what the earth looks like now, and he didn't know The rules of time are different from here, whether I can return to the earth in my lifetime.
The business of the tea house in the morning was not very good. There were only a few sporadic people, and there were also many gifted scholars and beauties. They formed pairs by the lake, reciting poems and painting each other. Chen Xuan just kept silent and enjoyed this moment Tranquility, I hope that I will be silent in this tranquility forever. From the first day I traveled through, Chen Xuan was fighting with the sky, the earth, and people. For nearly three years, I have never felt like this. It was so peaceful and peaceful.
Until noon, the number of people in the teahouse began to increase one after another. There were owners of nearby shops, businessmen on their way, and some warriors. They might all have come from the Sunset Mountains. The acquired warriors wanted to survive. It's very difficult, I hunt and kill monsters every day in exchange for the necessities of life, and there is no guarantee of survival at all, maybe I will be buried in the mouth of monsters one day, and become the food in the belly of monsters.
The quiet teahouse began to become noisy. Fortunately, Chen Xuan chose a corner to the side, the sound was very low, and some people began to chatter when they stepped into the teahouse.
"Master Lu, did Xiaohong in Cuihong Garden let you take care of her last night? She is the last oiran who has not been budded this month. Master Lu must have been wanting to die last night." Several big men Regardless of the people next to him, he loudly flattered a middle-aged man who was rich in wine and meat.
"Don't mention it, that little lady shouted for help before she had the most fun, and she couldn't stand it at first. It was really disappointing. In the end, she found the old bustard and changed a girl. However, the one she found was much more exciting than Xiaohong. This night , I took the Dali pill twice in a row, but I still couldn't satisfy that little slut, and I'm still going to go tonight, and I'll be drained of all the oil on my body by him." The obese middle-aged man boasted .
Immediately after some unpleasant language began to spread, Chen Xuan frowned. There were more and more people in the teahouse, and the more people there were, the more noisy they became. Some shouting and singing came from the teahouse.
"Do you know recently that the Chen family in Hongling Town is in big trouble. Now the shops are closed every day. I don't know what happened today. Some shops have started to open again. Could it be that the strong man who threatened the Chen family has already Let the Chen family go." A big man said loudly, spitting all over the place.
"Impossible, that strong man has set a period of one month, and there are still five days until January, and we will see the outcome at that time. If the Chen family is destroyed, our Hongling Town will only The last remaining family will also disappear!"
"Isn't it? Although there were three families in Hongling Town a few years ago, the Chen family's reputation has always been good. I have also dealt with the Chen family several times, and each time it will not let us who are dawdling on knife edge suffer. , Now almost every time I hunted and killed the magic beast inner alchemy, I sold them to the Chen family, but recently all the shops of the Chen family have been closed, so I can only find another way." A big man said helplessly.
Chen Xuan's soul had already covered the entire teahouse, even if there were a few mosquitoes in the teahouse, Chen Xuan would know that none of these people's conversations could be hidden from Chen Xuan's eyes and ears.
"Isn't it? The reputation of the Chen family is good in the vicinity, but this time it may be a natural disaster. No one knows who the Chen family has offended. They even sent the former of the Yuan Wujing to kill them all if they don't submit." Guang, I was also in Hongling Town at the time, and that strong man stood in the air, suppressing the entire Chen family to death with his power, and he didn't even have the ability to resist. At that time, I was 10,000 meters away from the Chen family. I was also suppressed by this coercion and couldn't lift my head up, it seems that the Chen family is in danger this time."
Some sighed, some regretted, and many gloated. The expressions and attitudes of these people could not be concealed from Chen Xuan who was sitting in a corner. Chen Xuan was just like a handsome scholar at this time, without the slightest aura fluctuations on his body. Chen Xuan completely concealed his aura, and now he is an ordinary person, so no one has any idea that there are people in the corner.
Time slipped away quietly, and the time for drinking tea at noon passed quickly. Some people started to leave the teahouse, and then went to fight for their goals. Watching everyone leave, Chen Xuan showed a gloomy face, unexpectedly Someone was planning for the Chen family. Fortunately, I came back in time this time, otherwise the family would be wiped out, and I was still covered in my bones. When I got up to pay the bill, Chen Xuan also walked down from the teahouse. This time, Chen Xuan did not exceed the bill. He walked in the direction of the family, but in the direction outside the city.
