As the actual rulers of this world, most of the aristocratic families have long since decayed.
After all, the family is constantly growing. Generation after generation, the number of people continues to increase, but the resources cannot increase.
When resources become less and less, but the number of people in the clan increases, in order to maintain the majesty and face of their own clan, some people in the clan will shed their glamorous appearance and put on the clothes of bandits to rob and rob.
, to exploit and oppress the common people, the poor, and even... like their ancestor Chen Tianxin, to massacre the city!
Some of the gossip I heard these days mostly indicate that the Chen family already has an army of bandits that specializes in doing this kind of dirty work.
Rumors cannot be trusted, but there is a saying that ‘nothing comes from the ground’!
Meng Xingyuan briefly inquired about the current situation of the Chen family, compared it with the Chen family, the ever-expanding Chen Family Fort, and the ever-expanding size of the clan, and then looked at the shrinking spiritual vein minerals and elixirs under their family name.
If you look at the raw material market, you will know that there is a high probability of a bandit army!
Also, a country is easy to change, but a person's nature is hard to change.
With such an ancestor who made a fortune through magic means, how can you expect the children and grandchildren he teaches to be good people?
First it was Chen Guan, then Chen Xi, and finally Chen Sui and his group. Of the three generations of the Chen family that Meng Xingyuan had met so far, none of them were good.
One competes with the other to be domineering, and can kill people at every turn. It is completely conceivable what kind of ruthless characters the second generation of the Chen family and Chen Tianxin must be.
"Based on the information currently available, it is not a problem to summon the Flame Suzaku and use the power of the Flame Suzaku to destroy the Chen Family Fort. The trouble lies with Chen Tianxin, the ancestor of the Chen family. No one has seen him take action in the past hundred years.
Even the old devil’s current strength
No one knows what level of power it has reached. High-level great spiritual masters are difficult for me to deal with. If this person is directly promoted to the spiritual sect, unless I hold more than two [intermediate-level talismans]
Dao Scroll], otherwise I'm afraid there won't be enough for this old guy to kill."
Meng Xingyuan rubbed his chin, feeling a little distressed, "Damn, this legendary mission is a bit of a trap. It's so difficult, but the rewards are so few. I'm afraid that the increased difficulty and weakened rewards are not just what the system spirit said.
Well, the difference is more than double..."
Looking at that damn legendary mission [Extinction Mission] again, Meng Xingyuan almost got angry, "Damn it, I even completed three or four [common missions] in a row, and the combined rewards are higher than your [Legendary Mission]."
Oh, it’s such a trap! I don’t even know how many killing points I have to lose to complete your mission!”
Yet he still had to finish.
Because if you cannot complete the legendary mission, you will definitely be wiped out.
Once there were extenuating circumstances, the system spirit came to his aid.
The second time, I definitely didn’t even have to show mercy.
"There is only a short period of one hundred years. It would be difficult to destroy a hundred bronze families..."
…
the next day.
Meng Xingyuan opened the door first and let Chen Ninglu practice boxing in the lecture hall. As usual, he went out and wandered around to gather information.
When I came back, it was almost noon, and I was just about to ask the little girl to go out to eat together, but she stopped me instead.
"Huh? Xiaolu, what's the matter?"
Meng Xingyuan looked at her in surprise.
This little girl who has always been cute and shy suddenly looks so serious. This is the first time I have seen her.
"Teacher." Chen Ninglu sat upright and looked at him solemnly.
"Call me master from now on. Teacher is not nice."
"...Oh, Master." The little girl nodded as if she understood, and then said: "Oh, Master, don't interrupt! What was I just about to say...Oh, Master, let's go apologize to them."
"Apologise? To whom?" Meng Xingyuan was stunned for a moment, then realized, "To those idiots yesterday?!"
The little girl nodded, "We definitely can't win..."
Meng Xingyuan rubbed her head vigorously, "You little girl, you can still embody other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige. Have you forgotten what I said yesterday? You are a genius, a super genius! Are you afraid that you can't defeat those idiots?!
"
Chen Ninglu said in a low voice: "But it's only one month... it's too short..."
"What's wrong with one month? I think it's too long. Come on, don't practice here this afternoon. Master will take you out for a walk!"
Meng Xingyuan shook his head, secretly cultivating confidence cannot be established by shouting a few words.
I originally wanted to go to the city by myself to see if there were any treasures suitable for quickly cultivating nine-star warriors. Since this little girl was so lacking in confidence, I had no choice but to practice boxing again. So I simply took her out for a walk to broaden her horizons and gain experience.
The world is also good.
…
Songling City.
In a Danfang.
Chen Ninglu tugged on the hem of Meng Xingyuan's clothes, lowered her head, and glanced around at the people walking around. They were all gorgeously dressed people with their heads held high. This little guy's inferiority complex had come back again, and his little head almost reached Meng Xingyuan's waist.
Blushing, he whispered: "Master... let's go."
"Why, don't you like it here?" Meng Xingyuan smiled.
"I don't have the money to buy it." A domineering voice appeared.
Meng Xingyuan turned around and smiled immediately, "It's true that enemies never get together. Kid, you're not following me, are you?"
"Humph, are you worthy?" The little bully snorted coldly, "Open your eyes and see, this business belongs to our family!"
"Oh? I remember your name was Jia Sizhen?"
Meng Xingyuan was slightly stunned, recalling the name of this alchemy shop, it seemed to be called 'Jia's Alchemy Shop'. He suddenly smiled and said: "It seems that it is really your family's business. No wonder after this trip, there is not even a decent thing."
Didn’t see it.”
The little bully Jia Sidong said angrily: "My name is Jia Sidong! What the hell is Jia Sidong!"
As he said that, he looked at Chen Ninglu with disdain, and then glanced at Meng Xingyuan: "A decent thing? How dare you say such arrogant words for a poor guy! You don't even look at who you are, just the poor things you are wearing, you are so poor.
I ask you to buy it, can you afford it? Get out of here, get out of here, I, Jia's Danfang, do not welcome poor people!"
People around looked sideways.
Meng Xingyuan didn't care either. He was just a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old second-generation ancestor brat, and he wasn't worthy of being angry at him. Besides, the pills here were really ordinary. They were all things used by free adventurers on a daily basis. They couldn't be found at all.
There is no magic medicine that can catch his eye.
Moreover, the quality is extremely poor. As expected, this alchemy shop should follow the civilian route, making small profits but quick turnover. If he stays in a place like this for a long time, it will be a waste of his time.
Shaking his head, he pulled Chen Ninglu, whose face was as red as an apple, and Shi Shiran out of the alchemy studio.
Jia Sitong sneered: "Poor guy, you are quite thick-skinned! You guys, please polish your eyes for me. Next time you see this poor guy, don't let him enter my Jia's Alchemy House. Don't let him come within three feet of me. Give it to me directly."
