"My grandpa has robbed tombs and committed many crimes throughout his life. Maybe he was destined to suffer this fate!"
Tan Zhengxiong was also open-minded and continued:
"And my dad thought that the evil Taoist killed people and bought goods for a parchment, which means that the parchment hides a secret!"
"So my dad would often take out the parchment and tinker with it to see if he could find anything!"
"It's strange to say that a sheepskin roll is indestructible to knives and guns, and is invulnerable to water and fire. It is not like ordinary sheepskin materials at all. It is indeed not a mortal thing!"
"But after years of research, my dad still couldn't figure out what the secrets of the parchments were, so he gradually put them aside."
"I was also influenced by my father. I would look it up from time to time, but I really couldn't see anything interesting about it!"
Tan Zhengxiong knew that just because he couldn't see it, it didn't mean that others couldn't see it.
Xiao Chen came to the door and specifically asked about the parchment scroll, which is enough to prove that Xiao Chen, like the evil Taoist at the beginning, saw the preciousness of the parchment scroll.
"Do you know the name of that evil Taoist priest?" Xiao Chen thought for a while and asked.
"After all, he was the murderer who killed grandpa. My dad had secretly investigated and learned that the Taoist priest was practicing in a Taoist temple in northern Henan. His Taoist name was 'Yun Zhen' and he was quite famous in the local area!"
"Yun Zhen?" Xiao Chen muttered to himself.
"More than forty years have passed. If Taoist Yunzhen was still alive, he would probably be nearly a hundred years old." Tan Zhengxiong sighed.
"Okay, thank you for letting me know!"
Xiao Chen had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
If you have time, you must go look for that Taoist Yunzhen.
Even if he himself really died, there should be descendants or disciples alive, and he could not take the parchment to the underworld.
"No, Young Master saved my life. I should be the one thanking Young Master!"
Tan Zhengxiong has long thought that no matter how precious the parchment is, it is not something he can get his hands on. It is the wisest choice to leave it to a capable person like Xiao Chen.
"Anyway, you don't have any family business in the Magic City, so I think it's better to leave here!" Xiao Chen solemnly reminded.
Tan Zhengxiong was stunned, and then said to Tan Yu'er: "Yu'er, pack your things quickly, we will leave the Magic City immediately!"
"Um!"
Tan Yuer did not hesitate and immediately went to the room to tidy up.
The Meng family is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If their father and daughter stay here, they will only continue to be persecuted.
Now that I have this pearl and a certain amount of capital, I might as well find a place in the countryside to live a good life.
…
The Tan family father and daughter left immediately, and Xiao Chen and Hua Wulei naturally left together.
"Why are you still following me?"
Xiao Chen glanced at Hua Wulei speechlessly.
Hua Wulei seemed to be thinking about something just now. When Xiao Chen said this, she was suddenly startled and said: "I...I haven't asked your name yet!"
"Why do you need to know my name?"
"I told you my name, shouldn't you also tell me yours?" Hua Wulei seemed to feel that she had suffered a loss.
"boring!"
Xiao Chen was too lazy to pay attention to her and walked directly towards Ye's house.
"Hey, aren't you afraid of the Meng family retaliating against you?" Hua Wulei reminded while chasing, "Don't think that just because you are an innate warrior, you are powerful. The Meng family is not something to be trifled with!"
"so what?"
"Why don't you recognize good people's hearts? I want to help you!"
"No need to meddle in your own business!" Xiao Chen remained calm.
Hua Wulei followed all the way again, but soon seemed to remember something and stopped where she was.
"As long as you are still in the Magic City, I will definitely be able to find you. We'll see!"
Hua Wulei hummed at Xiao Chen's back, turned around and left.
…
The New Year is coming soon, and the Ye family will definitely hold an annual meeting during the New Year. The children of the Ye family, both collateral and direct, will gather together during this time.
"Speaking of which, what happened to Ye Yufei? Why did our Ye family have an eldest lady out of thin air?"
"I mean, I haven't been home for a while. What happened?"
"I just went to visit my grandpa. He obviously gave me a few perfunctory words and then left. This was not the case in previous years!"
Several teenagers were all talking about Ye Yufei.
"It is said that it was the second uncle's child who was away from home. He accidentally lost it back then and only recently recognized his ancestor!"
"Is it true? It's been more than 20 years!"
"There should be nothing wrong with her life experience, otherwise grandpa and the others wouldn't dote on her so much!"
"Oh, I will have a new sister out of thin air in the future. I don't know why I feel a little unhappy!"
"Indeed, once she comes, we will no longer have any status in the Ye family."
"Shh, if you want to say it, it's best to stay away. Don't say it here, in case others hear it..."
"If you hear it, you will hear it. What are you afraid of?" A delicate girl slapped the stone table and said angrily, "When we talk in our own home, do we still have to be secretive?"
The children of the Ye family saw that the delicate girl was so angry, and they understood why.
Her name is Ye Xuan, and her father, Ye Hong, is the eldest son of Ye Zhengbei.
Before Ye Yufei, she was the eldest lady of the Ye family, and Ye Zhengbei doted on her very much.
But after Ye Yufei came, she took away all her halo.
No wonder she felt jealous.
"Ye Xuan, don't worry, in our hearts, you are still the eldest lady, we only obey you!"
"Yes, Ye Yufei was only favored for a while and will return to her original form sooner or later!"
Most people fawned over Ye Xuan and expressed their support for her.
After all, they grew up with Ye Xuan and were more familiar with her.
Furthermore, Ye Xuan has an older brother named Ye Tian, who is the number one genius in the Ye family and is on the top of the list of celebrities. The entire Ye family is proud of him.
No matter how Ye Yufei tries to please Ye Zhengbei, she can't compare to Ye Tian's status in the Ye family.
A small number of people felt it was inappropriate and worried: "It's better not to speak ill of others behind their backs without permission. If the head of the family finds out, we will definitely not be able to take advantage of him!"
"What are you afraid of?" Ye Xuan said slightly disdainfully, "I don't know if there is something fishy about that woman's identity. I think she is probably a bastard!"
When the children of the Ye family heard this, their expressions changed slightly.
When they were talking about Ye Yufei just now, they were just a little jealous and unbalanced.
But Ye Xuan directly scolded Ye Yufei as a bastard, which seemed a bit excessive.
Of course, no one dared to accuse Ye Xuan, let alone report her.
But just when everyone was silent, a figure suddenly broke in and strode towards Ye Xuan.
Raise your hand!
Snapped!
A clear slap resounded in everyone's ears.
suddenly!
He just walked over to her, raised his hand and slapped Ye Xuan without any time to react.
Ye Xuan was also a little dazed, covering her cheeks blankly and staring at the young man who suddenly appeared.
Soon, she burst into anger and shouted: "Who are you?"
"Sister Ye Xuan, he is the son of Ye Yufei's adoptive parents. Ye Yufei's younger brother is not from our Ye family." Someone whispered.
"Oh it's you?"
Ye Xuan did not attend the dinner party a few days ago. She only heard about Xiao Chen but did not know him.
But now, she knows him, and she will never forget him!
"How dare you hit me? Do you know who I am?"
Ye Xuan gritted her teeth. It was the first time in her life that she had been slapped like this!
"What's wrong with hitting you?" Xiao Chen said with a cold expression: "Immediately apologize for what you just said, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!"
