The long dining table was covered with dark red velvet curtains and was filled with exquisite and delicious food. Three people were dining.
They were far apart from each other, and no one was talking. There was only the sound of knives rubbing against plates, the rustling of footsteps and the slight clinking of glasses as the servants walked back and forth to pour wine.
At the end of the meal, the servant removed the dishes and replaced them with hot tea. The man sitting at the head table said in a casual tone: "Yun Yi, how is your injury?"
Chu Yunyi took a sip of tea and replied: "It's better."
Chu Yu folded his fingers and put them on his lap. He looked at his son who looked exactly like him and said, "Well, after recuperating for so long, it shouldn't be bad anymore."
Chu Yunyi lowered his head and said nothing.
"Now that you're fine, from tomorrow onwards you should walk around more with the heirs of each family and keep in touch with each other. Those are your future connections and allies, so don't neglect them. The most important thing is that during the time you are recovering from your injuries, outside
Rumors are spreading that your state has declined, your mental power has been exhausted, and you can no longer be a talisman master."
"The more you don't show up, the more arrogant the rumors will be, even affecting the Chu family's business and stock price. The Chu Group will suffer huge losses. The fastest and best way to reverse the situation is for you to show up in public, and the rumors will be self-defeating.
.”
Chu Yunyi lowered his eyes, showing no emotion on his face.
"Brother! Look at Yun Yi's face. Does he look better? What he needs now is to rest, not to connect with the juniors, nor to perform in public!"
Chu Ying slapped the table so hard that it made the tea cup jump. She really didn't understand why her eldest brother always put the interests of the family more important than his own son!
"What do you know! He is from the Chu family. Since he enjoys the family's support, he must pay the price for the family's interests, even his life!"
"Chu family, Chu family, you are thinking about the Chu family. Have you ever thought that he is your son, not a servant, let alone a tool!"
"Shut up!" Chu Yu was furious: "Without the Chu family, would you be able to be the commander of the First Army?"
"I……"
Chu Ying concluded her words. She wanted to refute, but this was an indisputable fact.
The expenses of the four major legions are huge, including military supplies, materials and weapons, food and grass equipment, etc. Government funds alone are far from enough for turnover. Behind each legion is the financial chain support of the noble family. The noble family invests in the legion, and the legion feeds back the noble family with its spoils. This
It is an open secret in Qianyuan Continent.
In addition to having excellent military qualities and strategic vision, the commanders of the four major legions must also look at whether the family behind him has huge financial strength and can afford the expenses of the legion.
Chu Ying admitted that her qualifications were not the best in the army. Without the strong financial resources of the Chu family to back her up, she might not be able to take the position of commander of the First Army.
"Father, Second Aunt, it's rare for you to come back, so don't say a few words, so as not to hurt the harmony of the whole family."
Chu Yunyi persuaded.
"Father, I was just about to tell you about this. Jiang Yuesheng invited me to attend the Red Hall auction, and I agreed."
"Yeah. That's good." Chu Yu's face softened slightly, but he still warned: "If you come across something useful to you, just buy it."
"Thank you father."
Chu Yu stood up and left, leaving another sentence:
"Chu Ying, I know why you rushed back this time. That brat has publicly rejected you and even made nonsense words to humiliate the Chu family. Even if you are willing to betray me, I will never agree to your being with him. You'd better be reserved and calm.
Separate it, don't drag the Chu family to embarrass yourself with you!"
Looking at Chu Yu's back, Chu Ying snorted coldly and gave her brother a hard look.
"Second aunt, my father is also doing it for your own good. He and his mother are living examples. I really don't want you to follow their old path."
"I know it well."
Chu Yunyi lowered her head, her eyes full of helplessness. Everyone in the Chu family had the character of never looking back even if they hit the wall. It would be a waste of words to persuade her. I hope she can wake up to it soon.
"Yun Yi, the military academy competition is about to begin. Are you still participating this year?"
Chu Yunyi smiled: "Do you think my father will agree to my absence?"
Chu Ying's sharp eyebrows immediately stood up: "Why do you just listen to your father's words? You can do whatever he says. Are his words an immortal decree?"
Chu Ying simply couldn't understand that if she were half as good as Chu Yunyi at Chu Yunyi's age, she would have been so crazy that her tail would be raised to the sky. But her nephew's temper was as soft as dough, and anyone could control it.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law are all people who don't rub dirt in their eyes, and I don't know who Yun Yi is following his temper.
"This is my last year in the Reserve Military Academy. Even if my father doesn't tell me, I still want to bring my military academy career to a successful conclusion. Winning the championship in the military academy competition is undoubtedly the best achievement."
Chu Ying sighed: "Okay, take a good rest during this period, adjust slowly, and don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you feel unwell, don't force yourself. You still have a long way to go in the future. The champion of the military academy competition is just
This is the most inconspicuous of the many honors you have received in your life. I don’t want to see you rush for quick success just because of this small honor, leaving behind hidden dangers and affecting your bright future."
"I know." Chu Yunyi showed a faint smile.
————————————
Today is the weekend, and Li Xing originally planned to go to the alchemy room for another day, but she didn't know that Cui Tianxiao and the others had kidnapped her early in the morning, saying that they wanted to take her to see the world.
The Red Hall is the largest auction house in the entire Qianyuan Continent, with branches all over the middle city and upper city. What they are going to today is the main hall in Tianyi City.
From the outside, the Hong Kong Coliseum looks like an ordinary teahouse, but once inside it is a completely different world.
The dome simulates weather conditions in real time. When you are indoors, you can watch frost, rain, and sunshine, but you won't really be exposed to wind or rain.
The interior decoration is extremely luxurious, and the waiters are all handsome men and beauties, and their Yuanling qualifications are not bad.
A young waiter respectfully brought four cloaks, and Ye Qingting took the initiative to explain Li Xing's doubts: "In order to ensure the safety and privacy of the guests, the Hong Kong Coliseum provides the concealment of the figure and face for every guest who enters the venue.
cloak."
Li Xing nodded, covered her body with a cloak, and looked at Cui Tianxiao, Ye Qingting and Qi Ming. Although they were very close, she could not see their faces clearly.
They took a small scooter and drove for five minutes from the door to the auction venue. The walls were covered with calligraphy, calligraphy and paintings, all of which were fine works by famous artists from the Qianyuan Continent, none of which were worth less than one million star coins.
Li Xing felt the fluctuations of the formation on the walls along the way. It could be seen that the entire internal building was built on a large space formation. He couldn't help but be impressed by the generosity of the Red Hall.
The waiter introduced the four people into the VIP box on the second floor and bowed out.
Each box has an anti-prying array, so the inside can clearly see the outside, but the outside can't see what's going on inside.
Cui Tianxiao lifted up his hood, stretched out on the sofa, and flicked on the light screen a few times. Three glasses of champagne and a glass of berry milk were immediately delivered to the coffee table.
"Xing, how are you? Is the environment okay?"
As far as Cui Tianxiao knew, there was no auction house in Datan. Li Xing had definitely never seen such a scene. He happened to be bidding at the Red House, so he snatched his third brother's invitation and brought his friends to join in the fun.
Yesterday, there were more than 150 recommendation votes across all platforms. True to my word, I will add another chapter today!
