The huge Chen Mansion lay quietly in a remote corner. There were two guards standing in front of the door, straightening their backs and staring cautiously at the surroundings, as if they wanted to prove their power and the inviolability of the Chen Mansion.
In the distance, a lonely young figure appeared in their eyes.
He was dressed in simple clothes, with a staff on his waist, and he actually held a long sword in his hand!
Long sword?
The two guards looked at each other and saw a trace of doubt and disdain in each other's eyes. Naturally, they knew that young man, the young master of the Chen family - Chen Li.
Chen Li, who is gifted with thunder and lightning magic, instead of just meditating on magic at home, bought a long sword. Could it be that he no longer wanted to be a magician but a swordsman?
Perhaps, even the money he spent to buy the sword was stolen from the family. After all, this family scum has always had a bad reputation and has many criminal records.
Chen Li walked slowly, not knowing anything about this. He was thinking about the future. He still had many things to do, and he had to arrange them reasonably.
Before he knew it, Chen Li came to the door of Chen Mansion, glanced at it casually, and headed in.
But who would have thought that these two guards didn't know where the evil aura came from, and they actually shouted: "Stop!"
Chen Li was startled and woke up from his deep thoughts. He frowned and looked at the strong guard who spoke with some displeasure.
"Huh?" Chen Li asked with a question in his nose. After all, he was a super master in his previous life. He would definitely not have a good look at the guards who had a trace of obvious disdain and contempt on their faces.
The guard didn't know that Chen Li had changed his soul and was no longer the same person as before. He was slightly surprised, and then he thought again: Anyway, Chen Li is a well-known softie, even if he wants to deal with him himself
There is no need to be afraid. You can use Chen Li to steal money to buy a sword to fool him.
Maybe there will be a good reward...
Thinking of this, the guard's face darkened and he said coldly: "Identity Jade Tag!"
Identity jade card?
Chen Li was stunned. His identity jade token had been used as a mortgage in exchange for this long sword. Where could he find an identity jade token to show him? Besides, he was a dignified young master of the Chen family. Although his reputation was somewhat poor, he was not yet a servant.
The guard could scold him so obviously.
"What did you say? Don't you know who I am?" The anger in Chen Li's chest rose up without hesitation, and his face was so gloomy that it looked like it was about to drip.
The guard's eyes flashed with light, his right hand was already holding the sword, and he said coldly: "This is the important place of Chen's residence. No one is allowed to enter without a badge!"
Hahaha!
Chen Li suddenly smiled, a very bright smile. Only now did he know what the attitude of the people in the Chen family towards him was.
Even the servants and the guards at the door felt that he could be bullied and felt that he was a softie. The original owner of this body lived a very shameful life.
"Pah!" Chen Li didn't say a word, but stretched out his hand and slapped the guard in the face.
Chen Li struck without any warning, and his speed was surprisingly fast. The guard was much stronger than Chen Li, but he didn't even have time to react and dodge before he was slapped firmly on the ground.
Withdrawing his hand, Chen Li's eyes seemed to be on fire, his mouth was slightly raised, and he said in a deep voice: "You say it again?"
The guard was panting and staring at Chen Li with red eyes, as if he would draw his sword and kill the scum who hit him in the next moment.
Chen Li looked at the powerful guard without any fear, but the anger in his heart gradually subsided.
"What? The watchdog also wants to bite someone? No matter how bad I, Chen Li, am, I can't just bite someone casually!" Chen Li said coldly, with disdain in his eyes.
Thinking about what the original guy in his body did, he could also understand why everyone in the Chen family had that attitude towards him. But even so, it wouldn't work, because he was not that bastard, he was a former master, and he had
He has a strong heart and inviolable dignity!
"Well, my temper actually got a lot hotter again." Chen Li thought to himself that when he hit someone just now, he felt something was wrong, and why his temper was so difficult to control.
"Hmph! Is it now the time in the Chen family that anyone can bully the young master?"
Suddenly, a cold voice came, interrupting the stalemate.
Chen Li glared at the guard, then turned around slowly, with his hands behind his back, like a peerless expert.
It was Chen Peng who spoke, with a cold look on his face, and his eyes as sharp as swords as he stared at the guard who blocked Chen Li from the exit.
As soon as he saw that the person was Chen Peng, the guard hurriedly saluted and said respectfully: "Master Peng, this man is not wearing the family jade plaque, so we stopped him for questioning!"
The people in the Chen family did not have a good impression of Chen Li, and even wanted to get along with him quickly. This was a private consensus among everyone, so the guard felt that if he could put a suitable hat on Chen Li, Chen Peng would be very happy.
Clean up Chen Li properly.
Unfortunately, he was wrong again.
Snap!
A slap that was louder and clearer than before came. Chen Peng's figure appeared in front of the guard. He slowly took back his right hand, stared at the guard with his eyes like a poisonous snake, and said word by word: "Chen family, please return."
It’s not your turn to make the decision!”
Looking at Chen Peng with astonishment on his face, the guard couldn't believe it. He didn't understand why Chen Peng had changed his surname today just like Chen Li.
The guard who was beaten by Chen Peng reacted, knelt down quickly and said, "Yes! I know my mistake!"
"Huh!" Seeing that although the guard knelt down to express his mistake, there was no apology on his face. Chen Peng shook his head and said nothing more. He just glanced at Chen Li and walked in.
Chen Li's reputation in the Chen family did not develop in a day or two, and he can only change it by himself.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and Chen Li looked at the retreating figure, and a feeling of warmth suddenly rose in his heart.
"Perhaps, this is brotherhood...Although, it's a bit different..." Chen Li murmured, striding towards his residence without even looking at the guards on the side.
This is the second time that Chen Peng has helped him out. Although this time it is not a big deal, if he had not appeared in time, there might have been a battle between the master and the slave.
By then, Chen Li's reputation will probably be even louder, and he can't afford to lose this person.
"Well, this guy is pretty good. At least he has a touch of humanity." Standing in the courtyard, Chen Li looked at the sky and thought that he was not a person willing to owe others.
I was helped twice by Chen Peng. If he didn't do something or give something in return, I might not be able to sleep well at night.
This is a favor, it is a debt of gratitude that is difficult to use once and less than once.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Li nodded, already having an idea in his mind, he must return this favor, no matter what happened in the past.
Now as long as people treat him well, he will treat them even better.
…………
With a faint smile on his lips, Chen Li walked slowly on the granite paved path and did not go back to his courtyard.
He is leaving tomorrow. After all, he is a child of the Chen family. No matter how the Chen family treats him, he needs to say hello to the clan leader, his second uncle Chen Xiao, so as not to make him worry about whether he is fooling around somewhere again.
.
Chen Li knew that his second uncle was only angry at him because he hated iron, and he still took a lot of care of him on weekdays. But because he was in his position, he had to do many things as a last resort.
In an instant, they arrived at the second uncle's place. When a servant saw it was Chen Li, his eyes immediately flashed with disdain and said, "What do you want? I don't know that this is where the clan leader is. Can't you disturb me?"
Chen Li looked at this servant coldly and said directly: "Inform my second uncle that Chen Li has something to say. Go quickly. If you delay the matter, please be careful."
The servant was disdainful of Chen Li and wanted to say more, but when he heard the word "family law", he trembled with fright, glared at Chen Li, turned around and went in to report without saying a word.
Not long after waiting, Chen Li stood in front of his second uncle. Looking at the majestic clan leader in front of him, his heart was slightly moved.
"You have something to ask me for?" Chen Xiao's face darkened and he said coldly.
Because in his opinion, it was impossible for Chen Li to come to him for anything, and if he did, it would definitely not be a good thing.
Chen Li nodded, having already guessed something in his mind, and said directly without any ink: "Second uncle, I'm going out for a while, and I came here to tell you, don't worry."
Chen Xiao's eyes lit up and his brows raised. He didn't know what trick Chen Li was trying to play, so he asked doubtfully: "What? Where are you going?"
"I want to go out and exercise to see if I can improve my strength. Second uncle, don't worry, I will pay attention to safety." Chen Li said immediately, not giving Chen Xiao a chance to object.
Chen Li is going out? Where is he going? What is he doing?
Doubts were rolling in Chen Xiao's mind, but then he shook his head. No matter what he did, as long as Chen Li didn't cause trouble for the family. He even said that if Chen Li was killed because of something outside, Chen Li could be killed.
I have gotten rid of the bad reputation of such a guy, but...
Conflicting emotions are running rampant. As the leader of the clan, Chen Chenxiao has to consider many things.
After a while, Chen Xiao nodded slowly and said: "Okay, in that case, then go to the accounting room and ask the housekeeper to withdraw some coins to take with you on the road."
Seeing that Chen Xiao had no objection to going out by himself, Chen Li hurriedly said, "Thank you, uncle, I'll leave now."
After that, Chen Xiao turned around and left without waiting for anything else.
After leaving the room, Chen Li shook his head slightly, with a hint of bitterness flashing at the corner of his mouth.
