Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

I caught a cold yesterday and have a headache and weak limbs. I will only update two chapters today.

…………

By the time of Chen Xiaojun's generation, the situation had become quite clear.

The position of the grand elder has basically been locked in between Chen Yanwu and Chen Jianzun, with Chen Yanwu having a slightly better chance.

In any case, it won’t be Chen Jianjun, his identity is not suitable for the dual system of the great elder.

However, he has a strong character and acts decisively, so the most suitable position for him is undoubtedly the deputy patriarch in charge of security and military affairs.

As for Chen Jianzun, he is thoughtful and good at planning, so he is most likely to become the deputy clan leader in charge of economy or education.

Most likely, the top management of the Chen family will provide biased training to the three of them based on this situation.

…………

Chen Mu asked calmly, "Then, in the end, we will all be the heads of a certain department, right?"

When Chen Xiaojun and Chen Mu said this, Chen Bin, Chen Shurui and others were also listening with their ears perked up.

Chen Xiaojun looked around, smiled slightly, and said, "That's about what I mean."

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows and said with some dissatisfaction: "You keep talking so much, but aren't we just doing odd jobs for the eldest sister, second brother, and third brother?!"

Chen Xiaojun: "..."

Seeing Chen Xiaojun being humiliated, many people laughed.

Chen Mu shook his hands and said, "Okay, we understand this matter now."

Then, Chen Mu blinked his eyes and thought: "But I'm very curious, why did you talk about my father for no reason? What do you want to talk to him about?"

Chen Xiaojun smiled mysteriously and deliberately kept the secret: "Yes, there is something, but I can't tell you now. I may need Sixth Uncle to help."

When Chen Mu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he became more energetic: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly, don't keep me in suspense!"

Chen Xiaojun smiled and shook his head, saying, "Keep it a secret! When the time comes, you will know it naturally. It would be meaningless to tell it now."

When Chen Mu heard this, he was like a deflated ball. He curled his lips and said dissatisfiedly, "Tsk! It's a secret, really. But since you want to ask my dad about something, I won't ask any more questions. Remember to tell me when you need help."

Chen Xiaojun smiled and nodded: "Okay, I feel relieved with your words."

"By the way, Ningxia, I remember receiving a post from Qushui Liushang some time ago, right?"

Su Ningxia thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, Master."

"They said that on April 1st, their Chang'an branch will have a competition and exchange with Wenhua Pavilion, and they invited us to join them. It's considered a cultural event in Chang'an City."

Chen Mu asked curiously, "Competition? Why is it held in Chang'an?"

Su Ningxia explained: "It seems that except for Tiandou City, it is held in the five provinces and five kingdoms in turn. This year it happens to be our Fasno Province's turn."

Chen Shurui also interjected, "Are these two organizations trying to expand their influence?"

Su Ningxia nodded: "Maybe. But in the past few years in other provinces, the two families have been fighting hard, and Wenhua Pavilion probably has a slight advantage."

Although both of them are popular cultural associations, they are somewhat different. Wenhua Pavilion has an official background in Tiandou, which is why Wenhua Pavilion is not listed as a neutral organization.

It's common for the two to quarrel in the cultural field, but most of them happened in Tiandou City. Now they're actually "touring"?

As for literature and art, Wenhua Pavilion is known for literature, calligraphy, painting, and poetry, while Qushui Liushang is better at music, folk art, and tea art.

Chen Shurui guessed, "Why are they looking for Sixth Brother? Aren't they looking for Sixth Brother to support them?"

Chen Xiaojun pondered for a moment, then said, "Wenhua Pavilion? I'm not sure about that yet, but it shouldn't be the case."

"However, please reply to President Liu of Qushui Liushang and tell him that we are going to visit."

Chen Mu's eyes lit up, as if he remembered something, and he said quickly: "No, no, Wenhua Pavilion..."

"I remember that when my grandfather was studying at the Royal Tiandou Academy, my father also spent some time in Tiandou City and was quite familiar with the people in Wenhua Pavilion."

"Especially the Ji family, they are a famous family in the cultural world and one of the founding families of Wenhua Pavilion. My father might even have a relationship with Teacher Jixiang."

At this point, Chen Mu lowered his voice a bit and said mysteriously, "You first mentioned Ji Tiantian today, and then mentioned my father. The help you mentioned is not related to Ji Tiantian, right?"

When Chen Xiaojun heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, but he did not answer directly and just remained silent.

Seeing this, Chen Mu became more certain of his guess and said with a smile, "That's true! I was wondering why you suddenly agreed to go to Qushui Liushang. In the past, you tried to avoid it as much as possible. It turns out that you wanted my dad to go and get close to you."

Chen Xiaojun smiled awkwardly but did not deny it.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Chen Mu continued to tease, "My dad, that old guy, although he hasn't learned one tenth of my grandfather's skills, he has learned the art of being pretentious to perfection. Let him try to get close to Teacher Jixiang, maybe he can really succeed."

Chen Xiaojun said, "Is it okay for you to say that about your father?"

Chen Mu smiled nonchalantly and said, "He can't hear me. He's drinking with Uncle Eleven. They're drinking slowly and they'll probably be able to drink until dinner time."

"Besides, what if my dad knows? I said this in front of him."

At this moment, a voice suddenly came: "Then tell me again, let me hear what my good son thinks of his father."

Chen Mu was startled and quickly turned around, only to see Chen Hua standing at the door without him knowing when, looking at them with a smile.

Chen Mu glared at Chen Xiaojun fiercely, then quickly got up from the ground and stood there like a frightened quail, with his head hung, not daring to breathe.

Chen Hua walked into the room and saw Chen Mu's appearance at a glance. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your skill of being disrespectful is getting better day by day."

"Now you know how to make fun of your father. Do you think I'm too old to deal with you? Huh?"

Chen Xiaojun saw this and quickly tried to smooth things over, saying with a smile, "Sixth Uncle, don't be angry, Old Five is just showing off here."

"You know he has a big mouth. He never controls his words. He dares to say anything."

"However, he does have a point. You do have unique insights into culture, which I admire very much."

"You and Uncle Eleven, have you finished drinking so early?"

Chen Hua snorted and felt a lot more relieved immediately. It was nothing serious in the first place. He was just teasing Chen Mu.

He glanced at Chen Xiaojun and said, "Xiao Liu, you only know how to make people happy."

"Your eleventh uncle has something else to do, so the drinking party ended early."

"But, Xiaoliu, what were you talking about with Xiaomu just now? Why did you suddenly mention me?"

Then, he seemed to be interested: "I seem to have heard Qushui Liushang? That's not a place that ordinary people can go. Why are you suddenly talking about this?"
