"Patriarch, what I said is true. As for why the ancient tree didn't attack me, maybe it was too lazy to move?" Chen Ying guessed.

"Too lazy to move?" Chen Yang was stunned, then nodded, "It's not impossible, if it's what you said."

"For existences of that level, we are just bigger ants. It would be a waste of energy to be crushed to death."

"By the way, are all the leaves there this color?"

"No, only a few are of this color, and the rest are emerald green. And the ancient tree seems to dislike this thing, and the leaves that fall are all of this kind."

"I saw that it was a little slow, so I did a favor." Chen Ying said.

"I hate this kind of leaves?" Chen Yang wrote down this feature, and then said, "I see. When the time is right, I'll go there and take a look."

"After a while, you go to visit Master Xia Daoxuan and let him unlock the seal for you."

"As for the leaves..."

Seeing this, Chen Ying hurriedly said: "Please accept this leaf from the owner of the family. With this thing, the owner can implement some plans."

"Am I the kind of owner who covets the treasures of the family? You accept it, and I will buy it from you when I need it." Chen Yang said with a smile.

Since he intends to release Chen Ying's seal, Chen Yang must treat Chen Ying like a normal general.

No matter how good this treasure is, it cannot be possessed, otherwise, over time, these families will inevitably be separated from virtue.

Even if he doesn't betray the family, he probably won't give his whole heart to the family.

Seeing this, Chen Ying accepted the dragon's blood leaves without saying a word, and then nodded vigorously, "Patriarch, I, Chen Ying, will never betray the family in this life!"

Hearing this, Chen Yang patted Chen Ying on the shoulder, "Go on, as long as you can train the piercing guard for me, I will never treat you badly."

"Um."

After Chen Ying left, Chen Yang continued to deal with family affairs.

It didn't take long for Chen Xuan to hold the dragon's blood leaf and walked in with a puzzled look, "Patriarch, Chen Ying handed this thing to me, saying that if you see this thing, Patriarch, you can understand his intentions."

Chen Yang looked at these dragon blood leaves and shook his head with a smile, "This Chen Ying is a careful person."

"Forget it, I'll accept it for now. If I refuse again, I'm afraid Chen Ying will panic."

Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth of this month.

Jiangyou County, Chu City, welcomes guests inside.

As the largest inn in the city of Chu, the passenger flow of Yingkeju is naturally not to be underestimated, but in the normally full Yingkeju, there are a couple of different guests.

The two of them sat by the window, their eyes turned outward from time to time, as if they were waiting for someone.

If this is the case, it is no big deal, but the two of them are wearing black robes, and their heads are covered with black robes. It is difficult not to be noticed.

Of course, it's just attention.

Chucheng, as the county seat of Jiangyou County, has never seen anyone before, and two men in black are no big deal.

"Patriarch, when will the Chen family arrive?" The ancestor of the Xu family glanced out the window and asked weakly.

"This..." Xu Yingli was also a little anxious, but he was still patient, "I think it should be here."

At this moment, a handsome young man in brocade clothes sat opposite the two of them.

Seeing this, Xu Yingli said excitedly, "Patriarch Chen, you are finally here."

"Sorry, I'm late." Chen Yang picked up a glass of wine and drank it.

Seeing this, Xu Yingli said again and again: "No... No need for the Chen family, we just arrived."

"But..." Xu Yingli glanced around Chen Yang, and immediately asked, "Where is Master Ningdan of the Chen family? Why didn't I see it?"

Hearing this, Chen Yang smiled and poured a glass of wine for the ancestor of the Xu family, "How could this Master Ningdan appear so easily? Isn't this a reminder to the Chu family?"

"Don't worry, Master Ningdan of my Chen family will appear at that time."

Hearing this, Xu Yingli calmed down a little, "That's fine, that's fine. Then when will we act."

"Sooner rather than later, let's act now."

...

The main entrance of the Chu family.

Xu Yingli glanced at the guard's general, and said lightly: "Go and report, and say that Xu's Xu Yingli wants to see the Chu family."

Seeing this, the guards looked at each other and said, "Wait a minute, I'll report it right away."

"Aiya, why didn't you tell Brother Xu when he came? I want to prepare in advance to welcome Brother Xu."

After the tea time, the Chu family's patriarch hurried over and said with a smile.

"I came in a hurry, I didn't tell Brother Chu, I hope Brother Chu will forgive me." Xu Yingli smiled.

"Where is it?" The Chu family head smiled and shook his head, then looked at Chen Yang, and said with a look of surprise: "Chen family master is here too?"

Chen Yang bowed his hands and saluted, "Chen Yang came without notice, please forgive the Chu family."

"What's the matter, it's my honor to be able to come to my place with Patriarch Chen, hurry up, rest in the hall." Patriarch Chu greeted the two of them to enter.

As for the ancestor of the Xu family who followed behind the two, because he wore a black robe to cover his face, the Chu family master didn't care, he just thought it was the guards brought by the two.

After all, there are quite a few guards in every family.

If you have something to act as a guard, if you have nothing to do, you can act as a spy.

This kind of guard will definitely not show his true face, and the Chu family will not make fun of himself and forcefully know the face of this person.

Inside the Chu family reception hall

After the tea was served, the Chu family head smiled and said, "The two of you are here, I'm afraid it's not just to meet Chu."

"Brother Chu's words are true." Family Head Xu put down the teacup in his hand, "Patriarch Chen and I came here because of the mysterious iron ore vein."

really.

Patriarch Chu's mind moved, but his expression did not change: "I don't know Patriarch Xu, how do you plan to distribute the share of this mysterious iron ore?"

"My Xu family is not greedy, as long as I keep the original share of the Xu family. As for the share of the Song family, the Song family was destroyed by the Chen family, and the share should be transferred to the Chen family." Xu Ying said logically.

"Patriarch Xu's words are bad."

The head of the Chu family picked up the tea, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Let's talk about the Song family first, everyone knows that the Song family was destroyed by the royal family, not the Chen family."

"How can you give the Song family's share to the Chen family?"

"As for the share of the Xu family, Brother Xu, it's not that I am ugly, but the strength of the Xu family is worthy of so much share?"

"Of course, my Chu family also wants to keep the Xu family's share, but brother Xu, you also know that my Chu family can't control this matter."

"The two brothers' clans in Zuoling and Youling are connected with each other.

"The matter of dividing up the Song family and occupying the share of the Xu family is also proposed by these two families. Even if my Chu family has the heart, I can't refute it."

After listening to the words of the Chu family, Xu Yingli smiled and said, "Hahaha, Brother Chu, thank you for what you said from the bottom of your heart."

"But today, my family is not here to beg Brother Chu!"

As Xu Yingli's voice fell, the ancestor of the Xu family behind him removed his black robe, revealing his true colors.

At the same time, it exudes a tyrannical aura that belongs to Master Ningdan.

"Ancestor Xu!"

Patriarch Chu's eyes waited for a moment, and his face showed a look of shock, and he calmed down after a while, "Patriarch Xu is here, please take a seat, my patriarch will come soon, and Patriarch Xu will also be asked to wait."

When Old Ancestor Xu heard this, he snorted coldly, "I'm not in a hurry, please call Chu Zhaotian. I also want to ask Chu Zhaotian to explain the encroachment of my Xu family's share."

After saying that, Old Ancestor Xu sat on the chair, closed his eyes and rested, as if no one wanted to answer.

Seeing this, the Chu family quickly waved his hand. Immediately, the first elder of the Chu family came, listened for a moment, and then left quickly.

It didn't take long for the ancestors of the Chu family to arrive here.

"Hahaha, Old Ancestor Xu is here. If Zhaotian is disrespectful, look at Haihan." The ancestor of the Chu family, Chu Zhaotian, bowed his hands to the ancestor of the Xu family.

Ancestor Xu opened his eyes and glanced at Chu Zhaotian, "Ancestor Zhaotian is here."

Hearing this, Chu Zhaotian waved his hands again and again, "Hey, you always call me Patriarch, but you're killing me."

Old Ancestor Xu was someone who competed with Grandpa Chu Zhaotian's generation for the title. Although Chu Zhaotian was not too young, he still did not dare to call himself Old Ancestor in front of Old Ancestor Xu.

"Breaking you? I don't dare. It's just old and dead wood, half of my body is buried in the soil, otherwise you would dare to occupy my share of Xu's family?"

Chu Zhaotian's eyes narrowed slightly, as expected, it was for the sake of share.

Immediately, Chu Zhaotian poured a cup of tea for Old Ancestor Xu, and then brought it to Old Ancestor Xu, "Ancestor Xu, this is not something my Chu family can control."

Ancestor Xu raised his eyes, looked at Chu Zhaotian, and then took the tea handed by Chu Zhaotian.

"Zhaotian, this old man came here for the share of my Xu family. Would your Chu family be willing to help?"

When Chu Zhaotian heard this, there was some dodging in his eyes.

After all, the Chu family would also benefit from dividing up the Xu family's share, and Chu Zhaotian naturally did not want to give up so many spiritual stones.

Seeing this, Old Ancestor Xu snorted coldly, "It seems that Old Ancestor Zhaotian doesn't want to give me this old man a face."

Hearing what Old Ancestor Xu said, cold sweat broke out on Chu Zhaotian's forehead.

The ancestor of the Xu family is about to die. If he doesn't follow his words at this time, and if he really pushes others and fights himself to the death, who can stand it.

That's all, let's put up with the Xu family for a few years, and wait for the immortal Xu family to die before encroaching on the Xu family's share.

Anyway, there are still a lot of ore veins. The five major families have been mining for hundreds of years, but only half of them have been mined.

Ten years, can still afford to wait.

Immediately, Chu Zhaotian smiled and said, "Well, since Patriarch Xu asked for each other, then my Chu family will give you this face."

"I don't agree with the Chu family about dividing up the share of the Xu family. As for the remaining two, I'm afraid you will tell Old Ancestor Xu yourself."

"You don't need to worry about this matter, I will handle it myself, the Chu family just needs to agree." Old Ancestor Xu said.

"Well, my Chu family agrees." Chu Zhaotian nodded.

Old Ancestor Xu smiled with satisfaction, and then continued: "As for the Song family's share, it should also belong to the Chen family, so the Chu family has no problem."

"This……"

Chu Zhaotian hesitated a bit, saying that it was false to say that he had no opinion, after all, who would want to spit out the flesh in his mouth.

"What, is there a problem?" Old Ancestor Xu looked at Chu Zhaotian.

Hearing this, Chu Zhaotian said bravely: "Of course there is a problem, I can give face to Old Ancestor Xu and not encroach on the Xu family's share."

"As for the affairs of the Song family, it's better for Old Ancestor Xu not to interfere."

"After all, compared to the Song family's share, occupying the Xu family is nothing. If you give it up, you will let it go. But if you give up the Song family's share, I am afraid that the three major families will not be willing."

"I'm afraid I can't sell this face to Old Ancestor Xu."

Hearing what Chu Zhaotian said, Old Ancestor Xu immediately became angry, but just as he was about to speak out, he saw Chen Yang get up and come to Chu Zhaotian.

Seeing this, Old Ancestor Xu remained silent, intending to see how Chen Yang would deal with it.

"Chen Yang pays respects to Master Ningdan." When he came to Chu Zhaotian's side, Chen Yang saluted.

Chu Zhaotian hurriedly helped Chen Yang, "Your Excellency is Chen Yang, no need to be more courteous. I don't know if you have any ideas?"

"I don't dare to take a high opinion." Chen Yang said with a smile: "I just have some humble opinions. Please give me some advice from the ancestors of Chu."

"Patriarch Chen, please speak."

"If that's the case, then let's talk about it.

The clan of brothers in Zuoling and Youling have always been united. If one day, Old Ancestor Xu will die. But with the Chu family, can they withstand the pressure of the two families? "

"If the Chu family agrees to give the Song family's share to the Chen family, then the Chen, Xu, and Chu families will form an alliance. At that time, it will not be those two who will occupy the Chu family's share, but we will occupy their share." Chen Yang smiled.

Hearing this, Chu Zhaotian pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Clan Master Chen is right, but why didn't I form an alliance with those two families, but with the tired Xu family and the ninth-rank Chen family? "

"Because the icing on the cake is easy, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow. Given the current state of the two clans, the Chu family has formed an alliance with him, don't you think there is a suspicion of flattery?"

"Even if others don't say it, wouldn't the other two think so?" Chen Yang looked at Chu Zhaotian with a smile.

Hearing Chen Yang's words, Chu Zhaotian was a little moved.

Thinking from another perspective, Chu Zhaotian wouldn't care about this kind of flattering family.

"But with Old Ancestor Xu and me alone, I'm afraid we won't be able to make those two families bow their heads.

After all, if a conflict breaks out, I might be able to hold back Master Yi Ning Dan.

Old Ancestor Xu's current state, if he didn't fight for his life, it would be difficult to hold back another Master Ningdan. "Chu Zhaotian sighed faintly.

Chu Zhaotian's words were true, even Old Ancestor Xu acquiesced.

Now let's see ~lightnovelpub.net~ if the Chen family can come up with a strong person to help Old Ancestor Xu fight against another Ningdan.

Seeing this, Chen Yang released the puppet.

Following Chen Yang's order, the puppet took a step forward, exuding the aura of the early stage of condensing pills.

"This... this is a puppet of the condensing core realm! It is equivalent to a sixth-grade spiritual tool!" Chu Zhaotian looked shocked.

Old Ancestor Xu and Xu Yingli were also stunned in place. They had thought about the Chen family, perhaps hiding the strength of the Ningdan level. After all, with the support of the King of Deshun, it would be no problem to send a Ningdan.

But no one ever thought that the Chen family's hidden condensed pill power turned out to be a puppet!

A puppet, even if it is Chen Yang's master, the first person in the Daqianzi Mansion, the Prince of Deshun, is not sure.

"Ancestor Chu, so, can you resist a Master Ningdan?" Chen Yang looked at Chu Zhaotian with a smile.

Chu Zhaotian woke up from the shock, looked at Chen Yang with a complicated expression, and immediately smiled: "With the help of this puppet, great things can be accomplished!"
