Xiao Chen looked at the old fortune teller and shook his head.
"In addition to Xiaobai and the others, I plan to take Lao Xue with me and ask the old monk if he can go..."
"Can."
The old fortune teller nodded.
"They are quite capable. Just taking care of some young children would make you a nanny. With them here, they can handle many crises."
"And my seventh uncle, he said he was going too."
Xiao Chen said again.
"I don't want to take him with me, but I dare not not take him with me. How about you help me persuade him?"
"Haha, how can I persuade you?"
The old fortune teller smiled. Apart from him, there was still someone who could control this kid.
"Well, you can just find some reason. What's wrong with your zodiac signs, or it's not suitable to travel to the West recently? If it doesn't work, just him and No Man's Land..."
Xiao Chen said casually.
"Do you need me to tell you these reasons? Don't you have a lot of them?"
"Nonsense, I'm not talking nonsense."
The old fortune teller was unhappy.
"The zodiac signs are not compatible? Why don't you say that the horoscopes are not compatible? Do you think this is a blind date?"
"Okay, you said his horoscope is not in harmony with the West recently..."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"What the hell... if he doesn't have that kind of luck, how can he pick up the Star Stone outside the no-man's land?"
The old fortune teller glared.
"Although he is not very strong, he still has some experience in no man's land... If he goes, he should be able to help you."
"Okay, let Uncle Qi follow."
Xiao Chen nodded when he saw that the old fortune teller also said the same thing.
"Last time he went, after he got the Star Stone, he didn't dare to go deeper, and he felt a little regretful... This time, he can make up for this regret."
"Anyway, it's time to consider who to go. Don't be too few, and don't have too many. Just a dozen or so people will do."
said the old fortune teller.
"Why? Isn't it bad to have more people?"
Xiao Chen was curious.
"If you can take life and death lightly and ignore the constant death of your companions, then you can bring more people with you."
The old fortune teller said calmly.
"Otherwise, every time someone dies, it will have an even greater impact on you..."
"..."
Xiao Chen frowned.
"It's not a place of playing house. It's a place of narrow escape. It's normal for people to die... It's not impossible for ten people to die or nine people to die."
The old fortune teller says again.
"Since you are going, then be mentally prepared...and don't think that you are the chosen one, you are lucky, and you can protect everyone, it is impossible."
"Don't talk about them, even you, there is no possibility of falling... I don't stop you because you have to go through some things to grow. And you, do you want to stop them from growing?"
"It's not that only the increase in strength can lead to growth... Some things, such as life and death, can only be experienced personally before people can transform and grow..."
"It's not like I haven't experienced it before. Old Su died in my arms."
Xiao Chen looked at the old fortune teller and said slowly.
"Don't worry, I understand everything you said."
"That's good."
The old fortune teller said, looking towards the independent space.
"I hope you won't be like me. One day when you climb high, you will find that there is no one around you."
"..."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen was shocked. He wanted to ask, but he still didn't.
These should be the scars deep in the old fortune teller's heart and should not be opened again.
"By the way, where is your brother? Why didn't you let him come?"
The old fortune teller thought of something and looked at Xiao Chen again.
"Xiaoyu? Uncle Qi wants to train him to become the head of the Xiao family. He is currently learning to work in the Xiao family."
Xiao Chen replied.
"Haha, your seventh uncle is a man who yearns for freedom... Let Xiao Yu come, it can be considered as giving him a chance."
said the old fortune teller.
"good."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"I will contact him later and ask him to come over early tomorrow morning."
"Um."
The old fortune teller said and stood up from the boulder.
"Let's go back."
"Old fortune teller, I also have a brother-in-law, should he come with me? Ye Xian from the Ye family, Zi Yi's younger brother."
Xiao Chen said again.
"Hehe, okay."
The old fortune teller nodded with a smile and left slowly.
Xiao Chen didn't have any ink marks either, so he took out his cell phone and called Xiao Yu first.
After chatting for a few words, he asked him to come over.
When Xiao Yu heard this, he immediately said he would come over early tomorrow morning.
"Don't ask me why I asked you to come here?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
"What's the point of asking? If my eldest brother calls me, I will go even if it means mountains of swords and seas of fire."
Xiao Yu said without hesitation.
"Haha, okay, we'll talk about it later."
Xiao Chen's smile became even stronger. His pain for this younger brother was not in vain.
Later, he called Ye Xian again.
Ye Xian was even more excited. He had wanted to go to Longhai for a long time, but his family wouldn't let him go.
Now that Xiao Chen is calling in person, who can refuse to let him go?
Even the ancestor of the Ye family would not stop it.
"Brother-in-law, please wait for me. I will leave early tomorrow morning, no, I will leave now... I promise that when you open your eyes tomorrow, you will be able to see the smiling face of your dear brother-in-law."
Ye Xian yelled.
"..."
Xiao Chen twitched his lips, this brother-in-law was more ruthless, no, more affectionate.
"Why don't you ask me why I asked you to come?"
"No need to ask, brother-in-law, what you say is an imperial edict. I will do whatever you tell me to do..."
Ye Xian said loudly.
"Brother-in-law, let's not talk anymore. I'm going to say hello to my parents and then set off."
"There's no need to be in such a hurry. Come back tomorrow...and you're not allowed to sneak away, you know?"
Xiao Chen said quickly.
"I must leave tomorrow. I don't want to see you when I open my eyes... I hope it is your sister when I open my eyes."
"Isn't my sister in Longhai? You can see her anytime you want."
"Then listen to me."
"Yes yes yes."
"..."
Xiao Chen hung up the phone, shook his head, and jumped down from the boulder.
…
The next day.
After Xiao Chen woke up, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that that boy Ye Xian was not here.
He was really afraid that when he opened his eyes, he would see Ye Xian.
Get up, wash up, and have breakfast.
"You asked Xiaoyu to come to Longhai?"
Xiao Yi asked.
"Yes, the old fortune teller asked him to come. It can be regarded as a chance for him."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"It just so happens that Uncle Seven is going to no man's land with me. Doesn't he want Xiao Yu to be the head of the Xiao family? He needs to improve his strength."
"Well, Xiao Mian called me and he personally sent Xiao Yu over."
Xiao Yi said.
"Old Xiao, I think it makes no difference whether my seventh uncle is the head of the family, or not. He is not usually in the Xiao family... The Xiao family has Xiao Mian, Xiao Lu and others, so they can handle everything."
Xiao Chen said.
"Also Xiaoyu, although he is a little younger, it will be fine if his strength can be improved. More exercise will be beneficial."
"Why, did that boy Lao Qi ask you to say it?"
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows.
"How long has this owner of the family been working, and he has done enough?"
"No, it's my own idea."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"The Xiao family is not empty, so why restrict Uncle Qi's freedom."
"No one restricts his freedom, it is his own choice."
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Chen and said slowly.
"Moreover, it was your father who asked Lao Qi to be the head of this family."
"..."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen fell silent.
"Whether Lao Qi wants to be the head of the family depends on himself... As long as he refuses to do it, I, the ancestor, will not restrict him."
Xiao Yi said again.
"However, based on what I know about him, before your father says anything, he will bear this responsibility."
"No news?"
Xiao Chen was silent for a while and asked.
"No."
Xiao Yi shook his head, he knew what Xiao Chen was asking.
"Okay."
Xiao Chen asked no more questions or said any more.
In the middle of the morning, Xiao Yu and Ye Xian arrived at Longshan at the same time.
This made Xiao Chen wonder, why did these two guys go together?
What a coincidence, right?
Only when he asked did he find out that the two of them had made an appointment and came together.
"Brother, why did you call us?"
Xiao Yu asked.
"Yes, brother-in-law, is there anything good going on?"
Ye Xian also said hurriedly.
"Haha, of course something good will happen."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"What's the good thing?"
Both of their eyes lit up.
"Are you going to some secret place again?"
"It's not a secret realm, it's here on Longshan Mountain."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"You go to Lao Xiao and say hello to your sister first, and then I will take you to the back mountain."
"Okay."
The two responded and left the main villa.
"Fifth Patriarch, Third Uncle..."
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Mian and Ye Jing and smiled.
"Come, drink tea."
"good."
Xiao Mian and Ye Jing nodded and sighed in their hearts while drinking tea.
Back then, no, in their eyes, Xiao Chen was nothing... just a genius.
Now, regardless of strength or status, they are the ones they look up to.
It is no exaggeration to say that Xiao Chen called them "Fifth Ancestor" and "Third Uncle", which made them feel a little flattered!
"Fifth Ancestor, Uncle Seven is going to no man's land with me, so I may have to trouble you about the Xiao family's affairs."
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Mian and said again.
"Just don't worry."
Xiao Mian nodded, he already knew about this from Xiao Yi.
"Xiao Lin also talked to me before about his desire to train Xiao Yu..."
"Well, Xiaoyu is still young, so you have to make the final decision on the Xiao family's affairs."
Xiao Chen said.
"As long as you are here and the ancestor is here, nothing big will happen to the Xiao family."
Xiao Mian smiled.
In the past, the Xiao family only had Xiao Yi, the Dinghai Shenzhen. It might be easily shaken by strong winds and rains.
And now that Xiao Chen is here, the Xiao family... is the strongest family!
Nowadays, when it comes to the Xiao family in the world, it is already the 'head of the twelve aristocratic families'.
Why?
It’s not because of Xiao Chen!
"Haha, that's true for now, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future."
Xiao Chen smiled and didn't mention the affairs of Tianwaitian too much.
"Third Uncle, you haven't built the foundation yet?"
"This time I sent Xiaoxian here because I wanted to meet the old god and let him give me some advice."
Ye Jing said.
"I wonder when the old man will be free. Can I meet him?"
"Haha, others can't see you. You are one of my own, how can you not see me?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
"I'll take you to see the old fortune teller later."
"Okay, okay, don't bother me? Why don't you go and ask first if it's convenient? If not, forget it."
Ye Jing's attitude was very low. He knew that many big shots came to Longshan to meet the old fortune teller.
