Chen Ziyan had some clues about the previous point. He wanted to know what Master Jiu had done. If he guessed correctly, the so-called things that should not be known should be what happened in the ancient building of the Zhang family in Banai.
But the fact that powerful people protect him makes Chen Ziyan a little confused.
He knows how deep the water in this world is, but he doesn't think he has the qualifications now.
Even if he is the leader of the bandits in Xiling.
After all, times have changed.
This is no longer the era of tearing down the mountains and gathering in the mountains and forests, nor is it the peak of the time when the bandit chief said "dump it", cut off the peaks when encountering mountains, and filled rivers when encountering water.
"Do you think I have the ability to protect you?" With this in mind, he simply asked.
Chen Wenjin gave the answer: "Because Mr. Chen is mysterious enough!"
Yes, they would choose to seek refuge with Chen Ziyan. The most important reason is that he and his team are mysterious enough.
Mystery is nothing, but mystery that can make many forces fearful is great.
Chen Wenjin knows very well that even though the turmoil caused by the Nine Sects has spread widely, those organizations with deep foundations have never taken their eyes off Chen Ziyan and his group.
And even in such a chaotic situation, no one is taking advantage of troubled waters. In addition to the ruthless methods shown by Chen Ziyan before, their mystery is the main reason.
Indeed...
Many people know that Chen Ziyan is the new leader of the Xiling Pirates, and they also know that Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan are contemporary gold-hunting captains. Even Shirley Yang from abroad has been dug out in addition to Wall Street tycoons.
Other identities.
But it is precisely because of this that no one dares to reach out without permission.
You must know that just by being exposed, they are already the two most representative sects among the four tomb robber sects. No one knows what great network there is in the depths.
In fact, even Chen Ziyan himself did not expect that the signal represented by Chen Yulou's appearance last time was far more profound than what he saw.
The first thing to understand is that the original Xieling fell apart just because the bandit leader disappeared, but it does not mean that the entire Xieling is gone.
Especially in this world, when Chen Yulou disappeared, the previous generation of bandit chiefs was still there. Although he left Xiling due to the pain of losing his son, some things cannot be taken at face value.
The former Xiling bandits did not disappear completely, they just changed to a new way of life and used their abilities in the right place in that turbulent era.
Moreover, the appearance of Chen Yulou makes people have to consider another question, that is, even the bandit leader who disappeared for decades in Xiling is still alive. Does this mean that the seniors in the gold-touching line are also still alive.
Anyone who is familiar with the gold industry knows that this group plays with technology, and its survivability is definitely at the top level in the industry.
Although the four tomb robber factions, except for Xieling, are all sparsely populated, no one dares to underestimate them. No one knows what these old guys are hiding.
Although the answer he received was a bit surprising, Chen Ziyan did not refute anything. Considering what he has done since his debut, it is indeed a bit unreasonable.
And now he is a little confused about what is going on in his family. If he thinks about it carefully, it seems to make some sense, so it’s really hard to refute it.
However, he knows his own family affairs, and he knows very well that no matter what energy there is in the family, the most important thing for him to rely on is his golden finger and his foresight of the plot.
"Then you just follow me first." After quickly running through the plot of pen theft during this period in his mind, Chen Ziyan finally agreed.
The reason why he agreed to let the two of them join was partly because of the potential impression he had in his previous life, but also because the arrival of these two women made Chen Ziyan understand a truth.
The world is like chess. Sometimes you don't take the initiative to enter the game, but it doesn't mean that you will stay out of the game.
Obviously...even if he deliberately controlled his contact with Jiumen and only established communication with the Crescent Hotel, he could not avoid the attention of those forces.
In this case, he simply entered the game directly with the help of the two women, and also entered the so-called longevity game to compete with the black hands behind the scenes.
More importantly, Chen Ziyan did not want to unknowingly become a pawn of "other" organizations or the Wang family.
Chen Ziyan was well aware of that kind of silent control routine, so when he discovered that things began to not be based on his own will, he decisively changed his previous thoughts.
It just so happened that he hadn't figured out where to trigger the mission to strengthen himself after the curse of the ghost cave was lifted. Now this could barely be considered a perfect opportunity.
Moreover, he seriously doubted that for Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling to appear in front of him so easily, there must be someone behind them to add fuel to the fire, and the purpose should be to test his bottom line.
Even now, he is not sure whether the Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling in front of him are real or fake, so he decided to accept them, which may not mean that he is using their tactics.
After all, if the two people in front of you are really fakes, they will definitely cause trouble if they are left outside. It is better to watch them directly under your nose.
When Chen Ziyan agreed, he had already secretly made up his mind to remind Shirley Yang later and let her find a chance to check it out.
He wanted to see if someone would use this trick on him, Chen.
In fact, this is also the main reason why Chen Ziyan has not had in-depth contact with Jiumen so far. It is easy to say that it is troublesome, but too many forces there like to play this kind of trick.
For a person who knows most of the secrets, this kind of thing makes him very uncomfortable.
Compared with passive responses, Chen Ziyan prefers to strive for the initiative, so after discovering that he might have been passively involved, he directly changed his mentality.
After hearing Chen Ziyan's agreement, Huo Ling, who had been silent next to her, suddenly said:
"Master Chen, my mother once told me before leaving that if this trip goes well, then the agreement between Master Chen and the Huo family will be completed."
These words made Chen Ziyan look at her subconsciously.
I know in my heart that she is indeed a woman from the Huo family. The timing of saying these words is really good.
As soon as these words came out, Chen Ziyan knew that he was right not to refuse.
Since Huo Ling came with an agreement, she must be determined to win this matter.
Naturally, Chen Ziyan has not forgotten his agreement with the Huo family. He originally thought that this promise would fall on Huo Xiuxiu.
But if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is true. Whether Huo Xiuxiu is born now is another matter. For the Huo family at this time, Huo Ling is the most legitimate heir, and it is normal for the promise to be used on her.
At the same time, because Huo Ling told about the previous transaction, Chen Ziyan's doubts about the authenticity of their identities were reduced a bit.
There weren't many people present when we had the conversation, and Huo Xiangu obviously wouldn't let it out casually, so this Huo Ling is probably true.
