On Zhenbao Island, Chen Mengxing stood on the beach, looking gloomily at the rolling waves in the distance.
Behind him are large areas of barren gray granite. This kind of granite has no use except being hard and corrosion-resistant. Eighty percent of the entire Zhenbao Island is composed of gray granite.
.
Of course, Zhenbao Island is not big. Even among the fourth-level islands, it is considered small, with a radius of only tens of thousands of miles.
However, precisely because the barren area is small, the Chen family can temporarily find a place to settle down.
The Chen Family, once a prestigious sixth-level island, has declined so much in just ten years that it cannot even compete with other fifth-level islands. Chen Mengxing's heart is full of pain and sourness.
He broke through to the fifth level of supernatural power seven years ago. As the most talented core child of the Chen family after Chen Mengzhu, after the death of the three ancestors and the second generation of children becoming more and more decadent, he had the unshirkable responsibility to shoulder the responsibility of the Chen family.
heavy responsibility.
Over the past few years, Chen Mengxing led the Chen family around. He originally wanted to take on more tasks and restore the decadent situation. Unexpectedly, every time he went on a mission, one of the Chen family's children would die, and their strength became weaker and weaker. Gradually, they could not even maintain the family.
It is difficult for the family to operate on its own.
"God, tell me, is it because the fate of my Chen family has changed, so you want us to perish little by little!" He shouted at the sea with all his strength.
"Defeat...defeat...defeat..." A faint echo came from the sea.
There was a sound of hesitant footsteps behind him, and several people approached, but they did not speak.
Chen Mengxing did not look back. He knew who it was. He was a fourth-generation descendant of several families. His highest level was only the second level of supernatural power. He had no experience at all. He could only be responsible for some affairs at home.
"What's wrong?" he asked calmly.
"Master, Uncle Xiaofeng's injury has become much more serious. The pills we have stored are no longer enough..." A timid voice said.
"I know, I will find a way. You go back and take care of Uncle Xiao Feng first." Chen Mengxing sighed heavily in his heart. But his face was very calm. He turned around and looked at the few people with still expressions on their faces.
The young girl with an immature look said.
"Yes, the head of the family." The boy who just spoke looked at him in awe, and then walked away with the other boys and girls.
Seeing several fourth-generation children walking away, Chen Mengxing couldn't help but smile bitterly on his face. He said to himself: "The pills I earned from doing the mission last time were used up so quickly. Even if I go to find another mission, at least I will have to do it again."
For seven or eight days, during this period, are we going to have to watch Uncle Xiaofeng stop taking the medicine?"
He walked towards the Chen family's mansion with heavy steps, while racking his brains to think of a solution.
Suddenly, Chen Mengxing paused, with a look of surprise on his face, and raised his head to look at the sea in the distance.
Two rays of light came quickly and accidentally landed on the island, revealing the figures of a man and a woman.
Chen Mengxing felt dizzy for a while and thought her eyes were blurry, so she quickly rubbed her eyes.
"Cousin Mengxing!" Chen Mengzhu said happily. She and Xia Chen walked over quickly. Although they were already seventh-level supernatural monks, they still saluted Chen Mengxing as a cousin, just like in the past.
"Cousin Mengzhu, you are back. You are finally back. I always thought you were..." Chen Mengxing was filled with sorrow and joy. Coupled with the sadness in her heart, she burst into tears and spoke incoherently. She even forgot to return the gift.
"Cousin, don't cry. You see, I am not living well. Your sister is lucky and will not die so easily." Chen Mengzhu gently wiped his tears and smiled sadly.
After all, Chen Mengxing was quite mature. He quickly controlled his emotions and said with red eyes, "How did you find Zhenbao Island?"
"We went to Chenjia Island first and got to know some of the situation, so we rushed here." Chen Mengzhu did not say anything, and said calmly, "Cousin Mengxing, after grandpa passed away, I have worked hard for you these years, and now I am back to help you.
The Chen family will definitely thrive again."
"No, no, no." Chen Mengxing was stung, and he waved his hands quickly, "Sister Mengzhu, I, the head of the family, are only temporary agents. When the three grandfathers were still alive, I announced that when you come back, I will
The head of the Chen family, now that you are back, I, the head of the family, must leave it to you."
Chen Mengzhu shook his head: "Cousin Mengxing, if I say I am assisting you, I must be an assister. In aristocratic families, men have always been the head of the family. There is no reason for a woman to be the head of the family. You are the backbone of the Chen family, so you must be obedient.
.”
Her tone was not strong, but always gentle, but she spoke it in an obedient tone naturally. Chen Mengxing was speechless. She didn't know why, but she couldn't resist and could only nod.
Chen Mengzhu smiled slightly.
"Cousin Mengzhu." Chen Mengxing was stunned for a while, then suddenly seemed to remember something, and then asked cautiously, "Before my grandfather died, he once said that before you left, you had already broken through the sixth level of supernatural power.
Really?"
He held his breath. If this news is true, then the Chen family will have a sixth-level monk with magical powers again, and it will soon be upgraded to a sixth-level island. Not only will it not be under the strict jurisdiction of the Zhou family, but it will also be able to return to its original state.
Even if the resource allocation is not as good as the original peak, it is still much better than it is now.
Chen Mengzhu smiled and said: "It's true, but there are some slight changes now."
Chen Mengxing was overjoyed, but immediately became anxious: "What changes? Cousin Mengzhu, you are now the most important person in the Chen family. You must not make any mistakes again."
"I have broken through the seventh level of supernatural power, cousin." Chen Mengzhu said softly.
Chen Mengxing suddenly lost his voice, his face was stiff, and he looked at Chen Mengzhu numbly, as if he was looking at an impossible miracle.
"It's true, cousin." Chen Mengzhu looked at him seriously and said, "In a few days, I will rush to the Dream Continent and upgrade the Chen family to a seventh-level island. Not only will I restore the Chen family's former glory, but I will also
The Chen family will be even more glorious and create a bright future. As for the Zhou family, I have asked them to move out immediately. We will go back to our original place to live temporarily, and we will move again when we find a more suitable place."
Chen Mengxing's eyes were moist. He didn't even dare to think about this dream of the seventh-level island. It was too ridiculous, but according to this sister, it was about to become a reality.
He wiped his eyes, suddenly looked solemn, and knelt down solemnly towards Chen Mengzhu: "Chen Mengxing, the twenty-third generation head of the Chen family, pays homage to the ancestor Chen Mengzhu. From now on, you are the ancestor of the Chen family."
Chen Mengzhu's face froze, and he couldn't even laugh or cry. He quickly stretched out his hand to pull him up: "Cousin Mengxing, don't be kidding me. What kind of ancestor am I? You call your sister old."
Chen Mengxing shook his head and refused to get up: "I'm not joking, this is not my intention, but the meaning of the three grandfathers. Not long after you left, the three grandfathers held a very important family meeting, and they unanimously decided
, when you come back, regardless of whether they are still there or not, you are not only the head of the Chen family, but also the ancestor of the Chen family. You cannot be shaken. Sister Mengzhu, if you don't agree, I can't get up."
Chen Mengzhu sighed, thinking of Chen Wangshan and the other two people who had not had much contact with her, but were very good to her. She felt sad and said after a while: "Okay, cousin Mengxing, I am the granddaughter, so naturally I have to listen to my grandfather, but you don't want to
It sounds awkward to me to hear the names of ancestors and ancestors."
Chen Mengxing nodded, but did not stand up. Instead, he looked at Xia Chen, who had been silent, and said very respectfully: "Is this senior the master of Patriarch Mengzhu, senior Xia Chen?"
Xia Chen was startled. Although he had met Chen Mengxing, they were probably not familiar with each other. This junior actually knew that he was Chen Mengzhu's master?
He didn't intend to get involved in the Chen family's family affairs, so he nodded: "I just taught her how to practice. I have no intention of competing with your Chen family for children."
Chen Mengxing said with sincerity and fear: "Senior, please don't misunderstand me. The reason why I know your senior's name is because the three ancestors once said in the past that your senior is a noble person of my Chen family. The ancestor Mengzhu can achieve what he has today.
It is inseparable from the great kindness of the senior, and he said that if the senior comes again, all members of the Chen family will make offerings to the longevity tablets and perform the labor of life and death for the senior."
Chen Mengzhu was surprised and happy, and looked pleased.
She had always dreamed that one day, she could introduce Xia Chen to her Chen family like this, so that everyone would respect him and know his greatness. People in the Chen family would be more happy if they respected him than they respected herself.
Although Chen Wangshan and the other three have passed away, before they died, they already knew who Xia Chen was and the greatness of this young man who brought indescribable opportunities and huge changes to the Chen family. Their lives were complete and there were no regrets.
Chen Mengxing said loudly: "Senior Xia Chen, the three ancestors also said that you are a senior, even if they are in front of you, they are still juniors, so whether they are here or not, they must treat you as juniors. Now they have
Since you are no longer here, please let the juniors kowtow to you and thank you on their behalf. On behalf of our Chen family, we will always be grateful for the kindness of our seniors."
As he spoke, he kowtowed three times.
Seeing that he was sincere, Xia Chen couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart. With a flick of his hand, Chen Mengxing stood up involuntarily and said gently: "Actually, I don't want to have a relationship with the Chen family, but since Mengzhu and I are destined,
, then I have an indirect fate with the Chen family, but I don’t need to provide longevity tablets and services. I don’t need them, but I can give some greeting gifts to the juniors of the Chen family. It’s just my heart.”
He took out a storage bag from the storage space and handed it over.
Chen Mengxing trembled with his hands, knowing that even if a powerful monk like Xia Chen, who was only known in legends, gave him something that was inconspicuous, it was definitely a good thing.
He didn't dare to take it. He only looked at Chen Mengzhu. When he saw the girl smiling and nodding, he reached out to take it, knelt down with a thud and said, "Thank you, senior."
Xia Chen smiled faintly and stopped talking.
"Cousin Mengxing, please take me to our mansion. I need to understand the current situation of the Chen family." Chen Mengzhu helped him up and said, his face turned slightly cold, "I always feel that our Chen family is declining so fast. Among them,
There must be something weird."
"Yes." Chen Mengxing was startled and did not dare to go first. He asked Xia Chen to stand on the left side with empty hands, then Chen Mengzhu stood in the middle, while he told Chen Mengzhu about the situation in recent years on the right side.
The three of them left slowly and walked towards the Chen family's mansion. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please go to read
