He went to wipe the wine on the table in a panic. Chen Xuan already had some guesses in his heart.
"What...what did the ancestor say?"
Chen Xuan looked at the panic in Chen Ye's eyes, then smiled lightly and said: "Let me ask you, are you the only one?
I see you are still very young. Where are your parents?
Do you have any younger siblings?"
Chen also later killed his biological brother and biological parents, but he had never panicked in all these years.
Maybe he panicked when he stabbed his mother with the sword, but in the following times, Chen never did.
Because Chen also felt that he had not made any mistakes.
He felt that it was his parents who treated him unfairly.
Because of this, in order to maintain his own fairness, Chen Ye killed them.
In all these years, Chen has never panicked.
He knew that no one could control him.
But... Chen Ye didn't expect that today, after so long, his ancestor was sitting in front of him, and he would be so panicked.
He began to swallow nervously.
Looking at Chen Xuan in front of him, Chen Ye tried hard to calm down his mood. He didn't think about these things and just stared at Chen Xuan.
After a while, Chen Ye said: "I am not young anymore. My parents died early, and my brothers and sisters also passed away one after another."
When Chen Ye spoke, although he looked directly at Chen Xuan and tried hard to create an atmosphere that he was not lying, Chen Xuan could sense that Chen was also lying.
Looking at Chen Ye, Chen Xuan smiled lightly.
He hides it really deep.
It was so deep that even Chen Xuan could tell that Chen Ye was afraid, but he didn't know why.
When Chen Xuan looked at Chen Ye without speaking or smiling for a second, Chen Ye was really nervous to death.
He didn't know what he was afraid of, even though he felt that he had done nothing wrong.
As things have progressed to this day, Chen Ye actually has some difficulty remembering what his parents and brothers look like, but he can clearly remember that his parents are ashamed of him, and his brothers are also ashamed of him.
.
The meal was not very enjoyable because Chen Xuan didn't eat much, and Chen Ye didn't know how to introduce it, so Chen Xuan quickly handed Xuan Bingtie to Chen Ye.
Chen Xuan did it on purpose. He wanted to find out slowly what the truth was, so naturally he couldn't eat more vegetables.
But Chen Xuan didn't drink either. He didn't want to drink with a person who didn't know whether it was good or bad yet.
After simply eating a few bites of the food, Chen Xuan said it was not to his taste and put down his chopsticks.
When Chen Ye heard Chen Xuan say that the food was not to his taste, he immediately waved to his servants and asked Chen Xuan what kind of food he would like to eat.
Chen Xuan was not polite and thought about it seriously.
In fact, he didn't want to eat anything right now. Although the meal he just had was not to his liking, it was not inedible.
Chen Xuan said that the main reason why it didn't suit his taste was that Chen Xuan wanted to go out.
He first wanted to ask people outside what was happening in the city.
Chen Xuan pretended to think for a moment, and then said: "I want to eat the small wontons sold outside."
"Okay ancestor, I'll send someone to buy it right now. Someone..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Xuan: "Who are you calling? With such a big distance, the wontons won't taste good after you buy them. Go there in person."
As he spoke, Chen Xuan stood up.
Chen Ye still didn't know what Chen Xuan was going to do. He only wondered if Chen Xuan really just wanted to eat the wontons from outside.
So he stood up with Chen Xuan.
"Okay, ancestor, I will go with you."
Chen Xuan smiled lightly and said nothing, letting Chen Ye lead the way and lead him away.
Ordinary people outside are always very gossipy. If they see Chen Ye going out to eat, they will definitely talk about it if Chen Ye has something to say.
Either they were discussing in a low voice from a distance, or they were discussing in their hearts.
Chen Xuan had the ability to hear the distant voices of discussion.
Following Chen Ye, they came outside and were immediately surrounded by busy traffic.
Along the way, Chen Xuan didn't hear any bad comments about Chen Xuan. When he arrived at the wonton shop and sat on the small table outside, Chen Xuan started to patrol around without taking a bite.
When he first walked on the street, perhaps Chen Ye was not recognized by many people, but when he arrived at the wonton shop, the owner recognized Chen Ye at a glance.
"City Lord..."
Before the boss said anything, Chen Ye waved to the shop owner to keep quiet.
But without making any announcement, they would inevitably be seen by people just sitting on the street eating.
Upon seeing this, there was a voice of discussion.
First there are two little girls.
"Isn't this the city lord?"
“Why are you eating wontons here?”
"Who is the young man sitting opposite him?
He looks so handsome!”
"The city lord is also very handsome."
"Yo yo yo, if you look at it with a clear eye, that person is more handsome than the city lord, right?
Don't think I don't know, you have admired the city lord for a long time."
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"What nonsense did I say?
But you should stop thinking about it, how could the city lord pair up with you."
"The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, why is it impossible..."
"Then you probably don't know that the city lord has a sweetheart, right?"
"What kind of sweetheart? Ye Li has now become the enemy of the city lord, how can we still be together!"
…
The gossip is full of flavor, but it is not what Chen Xuan wants to hear.
Chen Xuan then changed again, this time it was a middle-aged couple.
"Look, it's the city lord!"
"Oh, please lower your voice! What should I do if I make him notice it?"
"I noticed it when I noticed it. I was afraid he wouldn't notice it!"
"What are you talking about? We can't afford to offend the city lord!"
"Hmph, there have been three fires in the city in the past month. The three places were burned down to the ground, and not even a blade of grass was left. The city lord didn't even make a move to deal with it, so why are you complimenting him?"
"Hey, it's not like we were burned..."
"You bitch! You burned other people's houses a few times before, so how do you know it won't be ours next time?
!”
"Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah!"
…
Chen Xuan was interested in hearing this. He raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Ye, who was eating wontons with his head down.
But what matters now is whether this is the case.
Chen Xuan then changed the target audience.
This time the audience was two ragged beggars.
Although Chen Xuan's eyes had been staring at the wontons in the bowl, he had been listening to the sounds coming from not far away.
While listening, Chen Xuan did not stop moving his hands, scooping spoonfuls of wonton soup into his mouth to drink.
Chen Ye originally suspected that Chen Xuan wanted to do something, but Chen Xuan was just eating wontons.
As everyone knows, Chen Xuan's thoughts are not on the wontons at this moment.
"The city lord is here..."
"What kind of city lord? He's just a treacherous and treacherous son."
"Hey, look what you said, in this world where cultivation is respected, whoever has the highest cultivation level will win. What's the point of being treacherous?"
"Hmph! That's the truth, but it doesn't matter if the target is someone else. This target is the young and old of their Chen family, Chen Ye's biological parents and brothers. What he does is treason!"
…
Hearing this, Chen Xuan paused his hands, then raised his head and glanced at Chen Ye.
Chen Ye just finished eating the last wonton and raised his head to wipe his mouth with paper.
Seeing Chen Xuan's eyes, Chen Ye asked: "What's wrong, ancestor?"
Chen Xuan shook his head lightly.
He lowered his head and continued to ladle the already turbid wonton soup, while he slowly summarized what he had just heard in his mind.
In fact, at this time, the beggar's words were still reaching Chen Xuan's ears, which made Chen Xuan somewhat unable to concentrate.
So I simply didn't think about it for the time being and listened intently to what the two beggars said.
"You and I all saw that great battle back then. The strength of the city lord is indeed more suitable for being the city lord. However, the old city lord favored the younger son and insisted on passing the city lord's position to the younger son. Who wouldn't be angry?
ah?"
"Angry is just anger. One code equals the other, so he can't kill his brother or his father!"
"Well, of course the city lord is also at fault in this matter, but the old city lord asked the city lord to marry into the Huayue Sect. Isn't this even more nonsense?"
The other beggar may have thought of this matter, sighed deeply, and changed his tune.
"Who says it isn't? It was originally a good marriage, but the old city lord insisted on letting Chen Ye join the Huayue Sect.
Although Chen Ye and Ye Li are good friends, Chen Ye has ambitions in his heart and is definitely not willing to give in."
When he heard this, Chen Xuan stopped listening.
He kept ladling wonton soup and no longer pretended to drink it.
While scooping, I was thinking about the ins and outs of this matter.
Perhaps this is a story about rebellion because of not being favored.
There is also some love and hatred mixed in.
Chen Xuan looked up at Chen Ye again. At this time, Chen Ye was giving money to the shopkeeper.
There was no expression on his face, and even if there was, it was bland.
Looking at Chen Ye, Chen Xuan felt that there was always a very sad feeling in him.
Chen Xuan didn't know how he felt this kind of feeling, but Chen Xuan knew that Chen Xuan was also a sad person.
Killing brother and killing father...
Chen Xuan chuckled, then looked at the person in front of him and thought to himself that Chen Ye indeed seemed like a person who dared to kill his brother and his father.
Chen Xuan has always been intolerant of descendants who kill each other, but when Chen Xuan looked at Chen Ye, he felt that he didn't know why he could suddenly understand him.
If you are not loved by your parents, you cannot get what you should have, and you cannot even marry the one you love openly...
This kind of blow is undoubtedly a fatal blow to a person with Chen Ye's personality, right?
Chen Xuan suddenly felt that Chen Ye had been very sad these past few years.
The two beggars just said a lot of words afterwards. Although Chen Xuan didn't listen deliberately, he more or less heard some of them.
The battle seemed to have lasted for a long time. Chen Ye was not very old at that time, and his cultivation strength was still relatively immature. In the end, Chen Ye and his father were actually on equal footing.
Because Chen Ye’s father is not bad either.
At that time, some people thought that Chen Ye was going to be defeated, but a force came from nowhere to help Chen Ye win the war.
Some people said that this power came from Huayue City, while others directly said that this power was caused by Ye Li helping Chen Ye.
Later, after Chen Ye came to power, he rectified the entire Fengyue Sect.
Later, it was rumored that Chen Ye once conveyed a letter of peace to the Huayue Sect, but the leader of the Huayue Sect at that time rejected Chen Ye and made a poisonous oath, saying that the Huayue Sect and Fengyue Sect would never interact with each other until death.
Chen Xuan sorted out everything in his heart, and looking at Chen Ye, his whole body was covered with a layer of sadness.
At that time, when he handed over the letter, he probably wanted to marry the girl he loved openly and honestly, right?
Instead of letting both of them be treated as pawns and played with by applause.
As soon as Chen Ye gave the money to the shopkeeper, he heard Chen Xuan smile, and Chen Ye asked: "What's wrong, ancestor?"
Chen Xuan put down the spoon, shook his head and said, "It's okay."
Chen Ye nodded and looked at the wonton bowl in front of Chen Xuan. He had some doubts for a moment about what Chen Xuan wanted to do.
Not even half of the wontons in his bowl were eaten, and most of them were left. The wonton wrappers had been stirred up and were floating in the bowl.
“Don’t you want to eat wontons, ancestor?
Doesn't this suit your taste?"
Chen was also a little hungry, and he finished his bowl of wontons in a hurry.
And he didn't pay attention to the situation inside Chen Xuan's bowl.
Chen Xuan nodded and said: "I am used to eating in the realm of nine deaths. When I eat out, I feel that nothing is to my taste."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Ye also didn't know what to do.
"Then ancestor...you can't stop eating..."
Chen Xuan waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I'll talk about it when I go back tonight. But you, please follow me for a walk."
When Chen Xuan opened his mouth, Chen had no reason to refuse.
Even now, Chen is very resistant to walking openly in this city.
In the previous fire, Chen also arranged for the victims very well, but Chen never disclosed the cause of the fire to the public, so the people were always in fear.
Chen Ye was worried that another disaster victim would come over soon, so he pulled Chen Ye to ask what would be wrong.
But now Chen Xuan wants to go away for a while, and Chen has no reason to refuse Chen Xuan.
After being stunned for a moment, Chen Ye said: "Okay."
The two people walked slowly on the main street of Fengyue City.
Along the way, at first, the two of them didn't say a word.
But Chen Xuan was just watching everywhere.
The two of them walked very slowly, mainly Chen Xuan, who kept looking here and there.
When he had just walked a hundred steps, Chen Xuan suddenly spoke.
"What are the causes of those fires?"
Chen Ye was stunned when he heard this. He didn't understand what Chen Xuan said.
He had guessed it in his heart, but he couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe that Chen Xuan actually knew about the fire.
"What the ancestor said is..."
Chen Xuan was looking at a stall selling hand strings at this time. He had long noticed the blood amber hand in Chen Ye's hand, and suddenly he became more interested.
Hearing that Chen Ye was pretending to be confused, Chen Xuan turned back and glanced at Chen Ye.
"There are fires three times a month. What's going on?"
After finishing speaking, Chen Xuan continued to watch from the stall.
There are several mines in Fengyue City, so there are often some top-quality goods in the world. There are many good things in this stall, but there are no top-quality goods.
But there is no such thing as excellent stuff. All the excellent things are provided by people.
Just like the handheld hand held by Chen Ye, it has some spiritual power covering it.
One look at Chen Xuan and he knew that this bracelet must have been around for at least a few hundred years.
"How old is your bracelet?"
Chen Xuan asked Chen Ye again.
At this time, Chen Ye was still confused by what Chen Xuan just said.
When Chen Xuan asked, he raised his bracelet and gestured, "It must have been more than six hundred and fifty years ago..."
Chen Xuan nodded and continued to watch from the stall.
Chen Ye looked at Chen Xuan who was carefully selecting beads, and couldn't help asking: "Old Ancestor...how did you know about the fire?"
Chen Xuan didn't look back, he just raised the corner of his mouth and said lightly: "I forgot to tell you, in fact, I can know everything."
Suddenly, Chen Ye's whole body froze. Looking at Chen Xuan's back, he suddenly felt that a fig leaf had been taken away.
But now Chen Xuan doesn't mention anything else, and Chen doesn't dare to mention it either.
So he only answered about the fire: "The fire was... because I accidentally caught fire when I was forging the Black Ice Blade."
Chen Xuan held a bunch of green grape-like handpieces in his hand and asked: "If there is no main material, how can you forge it?"
Chen Ye was a little ashamed. He looked at Chen Xuando and said, "Back to my ancestors, I... fantasized about whether something else could replace it..."
This sentence made Chen Xuan smile. He turned to look at Chen Ye, who was a little ashamed, and said: "You are also a talent. This is the first time I heard that this ancient weapon can be used with other things."
An alternative to forging.”
Chen Ye nodded and said: "The descendants are so stupid that they make our ancestors laugh."
Looking at Chen Ye with his head lowered, Chen Xuan felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
People like Chen Ye are actually a little indifferent to the words loyalty and filial piety.
Facing Chen Xuan with this respectful look, even if Chen Xuan didn't sense Chen Ye's psychological activities, Chen Xuan knew that this Chen Ye just wanted to get it out of Chen Xuan's hands quickly.
The weapons used to forge the Black Ice Blade were brought here.
Chen Xuan can also feel how important the Xuanbing Blade is to Chen Ye.
The tasks issued by the system were, firstly, for Chen Xuan to punish Chen Ye, and secondly, for Chen Xuan to train Chen Ye. This meant that Chen Yefan's fault was not enough for the system to kill him.
Chen Xuan looked at the pillar in his hand, thinking in his mind how to punish Chen Ye.
Turning around, Chen Xuan and Chen Ye looked at each other. Chen Xuan saw four big characters in Chen Ye's eyes, Xuanbing Blade.
