"It's okay. You are responsible for any poisonous insects or beasts you encounter. I just follow you all the way." Chen Xi gave Jun Yu a reassuring look, and the two of them joined hands and continued to gallop towards the north.
Four days after leaving Nan'an City, Jun Yu and Chen Xi arrived at Qianyuan City. Seeing the excitement on Chen Xi's face, Jun Yu couldn't help but feel relieved under the pressure of exchanging Earth Fire Lotus Seeds.
"Chen Xi, I'd better find an inn to stay in first. After settling Ling'er, I'll follow you to your family." Jun Yu said to Chen Xi.
"Okay, then let's go to Yuezhong Tower. You will definitely be satisfied with the living conditions there." Chen Xi said like a landlord.
Before they had a cup of tea, the two of them had arrived at the Yuezhong Tower that Chen Xi had mentioned. Jun Yu asked for a separate courtyard. After washing up, he told Ling'er some instructions, picked up a small baggage, and left Yuezhong with Chen Xi. building.
"Chen Xi, do you want me to bring any gifts to your family for the first time?" Jun Yu suddenly said.
"Gift? It's up to you." Chen Xi was stunned, then her face turned red and she said.
Later, under the leadership of Chen Xi, Jun Yu visited the high-end shops in Qianyang County. After carefully selecting two items, he and Chen Xi came to the southern district of Qianyang County, a huge building complex.
Chen Mansion is the residence of the Chen tribe in Qianyang County, and is also the residence of the immediate family of the Chen tribe. Although it is a medium-sized tribe in Qianyang County, judging from the architectural grade and scale of the Chen Mansion, it can be seen that it is not a wealthy family. That’s expensive!
"Second Miss, you are back!" Far away, the guard in front of Chen Mansion saw Chen Xi, and ran over cleverly, bowing to Chen Xi.
"Well, you guys have worked hard guarding Chen Mansion." Chen Xi smiled faintly and said in a clear voice.
"It should, it should!" The guard was overjoyed when he received Chen Xi's praise, and ran ahead to lead the way, saying.
"You guys go ahead." Chen Xi entered the gate of Chen Mansion, waved to the guard, and led Jun Yu towards the depths of this luxurious house.
"Hey, look, the young man the second young lady brought just now is very unfamiliar! We have been guarding for so many years, but we have never seen the second young lady bring a young man back..." A young guard said softly to the side Several guards said.
"If you dare to talk about the second lady's affairs, be careful that the master of the house will break your legs!" Another young guard said with a slightly gloomy face.
Although the words of these guards were very low and soft, they still fell into Jun Yu's ears. Jun Yu smiled slightly and followed Chen Xi without asking any questions.
After a while, they came to a hall in the fifth-level courtyard. Chen Xi ordered the servants to serve Jun Yu tea and look at his seat. He gave Jun Yu a reassuring look and walked towards the back hall.
After a full hour, when Jun Yu had drank three pots of tea, Chen Xi followed an elegant middle-aged man and slowly came to the hall. Chen Xi was still hiding behind the middle-aged man and made a gesture to Jun Yu. grimace.
When Jun Yu saw Chen Xi's grimace, he immediately relaxed. Looking at the elegant middle-aged man again, his pupils could not help but shrink slightly, and he secretly said in his heart, "Innate Spiritual Man!" He quickly stood up, bowed and said to the elegant middle-aged man: "Jun Yu , I’ve met the seniors.”
"Haha, you don't have to be polite. She has already told me about your rescue of Xi'er in the Death Swamp, so I have to thank you." The elegant middle-aged man said politely with a hearty smile.
"Jun Yu, this is my father." Chen Xi blushed slightly and said to Jun Yu.
"I was just passing by, so I did it casually. Seniors don't have to worry about it. But with the help of Chen Xi, I completed the task. It's fate." Jun Yu said with a smile on his face and slightly straightened his clothes.
Jun Yu secretly looked at Chen Xi's father. He was in his thirties, with a slender figure and a navy blue gown. His face was slightly long and he had a carefully groomed beard. His eyes opened and closed, revealing his unique elegance.
"You don't have to be cautious. I heard Xi'er talk about your matter. To be honest, I wanted to give you the Earth Fire Lotus Seed as a gift. But this thing is unusual, and it's not convenient for me to make the decision without permission." Chen Xi
Father, was sitting directly above the hall, with the morning light accompanying him. Seeing that Jun Yu was still polite, the middle-aged man nodded slightly and said.
"Of course it should be. I understand that Earth Fire Lotus Seeds are hard to come by. I plan to exchange the Wood Spirit Fruit and a bottle of elixir with Senior. I wonder what Senior wants?" Jun Yu pondered for a moment and answered carefully.
"Haha, this matter is not urgent. I heard that you killed a red duck with one person's strength. Is this true?" The middle-aged man looked directly at Jun Yudao with his eyes shining brightly.
"I'm just lucky. I managed to get injured and killed the red croaker. There was also Chen Xi who was helping me a lot." Jun Yu didn't want to say more and mentioned a little bit.
"Haha, that's interesting. I heard that you are a disciple of Lingyun Tiangong, so I think you have something extraordinary." The middle-aged man opened and closed his eyes and said softly.
"I am just a handyman disciple in Lingyun Tiangong, and I make the seniors laugh." Jun Yu replied with a slight pause on his face.
"Oh? It's rare for Lingyun Tiangong to have handyman disciples like you." The intermediary's eyes were slightly surprised. He picked up a cup of fragrant tea with his left hand, and gently used the lid to pour a cup of tea on the right hand.
Look at Jun Yu and say.
Jun Yu stood aside and saw the middle-aged man's expression, but did not reply. Chen Xi stood quietly beside the middle-aged man, glancing at Jun Yu secretly from time to time and looking at her father, curling the corner of her mouth.
Jun Yu felt a little embarrassed and thought that the gifts he had brought had not yet been given out, so he took out the two gifts beside him, said a few polite words to the middle-aged man, and handed them to a servant.
"This is your first time coming to Qianyang County. You can play for a few days and let Chen Cheng accompany you. I won't be too involved in the affairs of you young people. You can also discuss with Chen Cheng the matter of Earth Fire Lotus Seeds." Chen Xi
The father took a sip of the fragrant tea, put down the tea cup, said something to Jun Yu, and left with Chen Xi.
Chen Xi pursed her lips and followed her father away. Behind the screen in the hall, a young man appeared out of nowhere. He was dressed in yellow clothes and looked very similar to Chen Xi's father.
The young man came to Jun Yu, clasped his hands in his fists, and said with a smile: "Chen Cheng, brother Jun Yu, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Jun Yu quickly stood up, cupped his hands to Chen Cheng, and said, "Thank you, Brother Chen."
"Brother Jun Yu, this hall is a little deserted. You and I will go to the back garden to chat." Chen Cheng still smiled and made an invitation gesture to Jun Yu.
"Please." Jun Yu followed Chen Cheng out of the hall and walked to the garden behind.
"Brother Jun Yu, I heard that you rescued your sister in the Swamp of Death. I am here to thank you for your sister."
Jun Yu and Chen Cheng came to a lush and fragrant garden. The pavilions and pavilions were all in the Jiangnan classical style. The scenery was pleasant, flowers were blooming, and the fragrance was refreshing.
"It turns out he is Chen Xi's brother. I'm so polite. Brother Chen doesn't need to be polite when you do something for me." Jun Yu saw Chen Cheng speak and spoke softly.
"Haha, what are you talking about? Xi'er has been spoiled by my father and me since she was a child. If there is any offense in the process, please forgive me brother Jun Yu. Xi'er and I are half-brothers and sisters, but we lost our mother when we were young.
My temperament is inevitably a bit arrogant." Chen Cheng sighed and said to Jun Yu.
"Xi'er has been very smart since she was a child. She also learned martial arts from the Hidden Immortal Valley Qi Yue. She was trained as the successor of the family. This time I entered the Death Swamp without permission and was able to escape unscathed. Thanks to brother Jun Yu. My father allowed me to
I must thank brother Jun Yu properly, haha." Chen Cheng said it directly as if he was endorsing him.
"Brother Chen, it's okay to express my gratitude. I don't know what Brother Chen is going to do about the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds." After listening to Chen Cheng's words, Jun Yu understood the distance between himself and Chen Xi. He couldn't help but think about it countless times, and his heart was pounding.
He twitched and said in a somewhat cold voice.
"Haha, brother Jun Yu is really quick to talk. Regarding the matter of earth fire lotus seeds, you come with me. Come to the pavilion ahead, and I will treat you to taste the famous delicacies of Qianyang County. It won't be too late for us to talk slowly." Chen Cheng saw that Jun Yu understood.
He felt happy and invited Jun Yudao.
Half an hour later, although Jun Yu was surrounded by the fragrance of the garden, he was still a little uninterested. He and Chen Cheng drank several times of wine and brought up the matter of earth fire lotus seeds again.
Chen Cheng spoke tactfully and exchanged Earth Fire Lotus Seeds to Jun Yu, all in order to thank Jun Yu for his kindness to Chen Xi. In his words, it was also very clear that Earth Fire Lotus Seeds could be exchanged for items of equal value with Jun Yu, and the kindness between the two parties was established.
After all, Jun Yu had better not have anything to do with Chen Xi from now on.
Jun Yu looked very sad, and his words became less and less. He exchanged a wood spirit fruit and a bottle of soul pill for an earth fire lotus seed. After carefully putting it into his arms, he hurriedly said goodbye to Chen Cheng and left.
Morning Mansion.
Back at the inn, Jun Yu was not as excited as Earth Fire Lotus. Unconsciously, he began to think sadly about Chen Mansion and his actions today.
"It seems that for Yan Huan, it is just a thought of repaying her. To save her from the head of the Sirius Gang, it is more of a feeling like a relative around me, a feeling of a childhood playmate. But for Chen Xi, it is a feeling of repayment.
It’s a very unspeakable feeling. After only contacting her for less than a month, I feel as if she has entered my life and it is very difficult to let go of her.”
"I'm still not strong enough. I'm just a young boy born with nothing, and no big family background behind me. What can I do to make Chen Xi happy, and what can I do to make the Chen family treat me..." Jun Yu took a deep breath.
He took a breath, sighed, and murmured.
"It's better to leave here as soon as possible and go back to Lingyun Tiangong to refine the Five Elements Mending Pill so that you can advance to the level of a general as soon as possible." Jun Yu began to pack his bags silently.
"Would you like to see Chenxi again? Why do I feel so lonely less than half a day after leaving Chenxi? It's as if I have grown ten years older!"
"Forget it, just leave a letter at the inn. If Chen Xi is interested, he will naturally come to the inn and get this letter." Jun Yu suddenly thought of this as a way, so he took out a pen and paper from the room,
