At noon that day, the manager of the car escorted the car himself, and delivered another sumptuous banquet. When he learned of the result, he immediately went back to Che's house to report.

He saw that Chen Xiao had come for a day, not only brought Shen Yanxing back to normal, but also found the place in one fell swoop, he felt that Chen Xiao's strength was unfathomable.Therefore, even though he had doubts about why the house was not built, but the ancestral grave was moved, he obeyed without further ado.

Fortunately, Chen Xiao finally gave him an answer, telling him that this was to use the power of his ancestors to protect future generations.This reason is very profound and mysterious at first glance, and the old man of the Che family said that he has no doubts anymore.

Shen Yanxing had already achieved some success in finding dragon acupuncture points, but the calculation of the auspicious time was still a little short, so Chen Xiao personally performed the operation, and calculated that three days later would be a good day, and it was appropriate to break ground and move the grave.

Chen Xiao told Shen Yanxing what to pay attention to when the time came. He didn't plan to stay until that day, and Shen Yanhang could take care of the rest, so he decided to return to the county and wait for Shen Yanhang to finish his work before meeting.

In the afternoon of that day, Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting returned to the county town along the original road.When they entered the inn, someone greeted them, saying that there was a girl surnamed Chen who had been waiting for a day.

Chen Xiao was very surprised, but after thinking about it, she could understand that it must be that Er Shun couldn't wait for the opportunity, so he took the initiative to come to him.

"The girl said she was your younger sister, so I arranged for her to wait in your yard on my own initiative. There are people coming and going in this hall, so I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for the girl's house." The shopkeeper personally arranged the matter. of.When he said this to Chen Xiao, the hidden meaning was very clear, Er Shun was so beautiful, the hall in the inn was open to the public, meeting such a beautiful girl would easily cause trouble.

Chen Xiao appreciated the innocence of the shopkeeper, and nodded kindly to the shopkeeper: "You are right." He raised his hand and threw a spirit coin to the other party, "This is thanks to the shopkeeper for your trouble. "

The shopkeeper put his palms together to catch it, and opened his eyes to look down.He didn't know this kind of coin, but he had heard that it was used by those cultivators, and it was said that it was very valuable!

Overjoyed, the shopkeeper's attitude became even more humble, "If the customer needs anything, just ask the little one."

Entering their courtyard, Chen Xiao saw Er Shun anxiously walking around in the living room at a glance.

"Er Shun." He called out to her.

Er Shun turned his head to see him, and heaved a sigh of relief, "Brother Xiao, you're back." The girl was always worried, fearing that Chen Ling would leave without saying goodbye, so she would have nowhere to look for her.

Chen Xiao smiled and said teasingly, "Are you in a hurry?"

Er Shun blushed and was speechless.

Seeing that her face turned red immediately, Chen Ling didn't dare to joke anymore, and hurriedly coughed: "Don't stand, sit down and talk."

The courtyard they lived in was considered VIP-level treatment. Not long after Chen Xiao sat down, a waiter brought hot tea and fresh refreshments.

Chen Ling took a look at the tea table next to Er Shun, and the two dishes placed on it were just removed by the waiter and replaced with new ones.

He immediately understood that this girl must have been waiting since the morning, and she didn't even eat lunch.

Based on Chen Xiao's understanding of Er Shun, she has a thin skin, so she must not want to bother the store to prepare lunch, and would rather pad her stomach with snacks.

Chen Xiao stopped the waiter and asked him to prepare six dishes and one soup, and bring them up later.

Er Shun didn't know if Chen Ling could see that she didn't have lunch, so she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Chen Xiao didn't want Er Shun to be embarrassed, so she took the initiative to raise the topic: "Speak, you must have something to ask me."

Er Shun raised her face, her shyness faded away, she frowned, moved her hands nervously, and mustered up her courage to say to Chen Xiao: "Since Brother Xiao has already guessed my reason for coming, please tell me, what is wrong with Brother Wu now?" How is it?"

Although she was speaking to Chen Ling, her eyes looked at Xi Yunting expectantly.

Xi Yunting looked at her calmly and said, "Although I have been back to the mountain gate before, it's just that I don't go out of the room because of closed-door practice, and I don't know about the disciples of the outer sect of the former mountain."

With just one sentence, he killed all of Er Shun's expectations, and the light in Er Shun's eyes dimmed instantly, making Chen Xiao feel unbearable.

She lowered her head slowly, her fingers turned white, and her shoulders trembled slightly.Crystal drops of water fell on her skirt, soaking into a dark color.

"Er Shun." Chen Xiao stood up and walked over, trying to comfort her, but felt that all words were empty.

"Sorry, Brother Hanwa, I lost my composure." She wiped her tears stubbornly, raised her head to look at Chen Xiao, and forced a smile, "I just... just waited for too long, and there is no news of Brother Wu's family , I couldn't control it for a while... for a while."

Chen Ling looked directly into her eyes, and said softly, "I can understand, it's not your fault."

Er Shun's lips trembled, she took a breath, held back the tears that welled up again, and said in an out-of-tune voice: "I just can't, can't understand, how come Brother Wu hasn't sent a letter for so many years?" return."

Chen Xiao frowned, he also couldn't understand, but what was even more regrettable was that he couldn't give Er Shun an explanation at this moment.

"I think it's not that Wu Xinzhi doesn't want to, but that he can't do it." Xi Yunting said at this moment.

Chen Xiao and Er Shun turned their heads to look at him together. Looking at him from the same angle, the contours of his facial features were somewhat similar.

Xi Yunting was amazed by this discovery for a moment, but his heart was strong, and he only paused for a while, "Outer disciples want to leave the mountain gate, as long as their cultivation level reaches the body training stage. But if they want to return to Dai Kingdom from the upper realm, If he does not rely on external force, he can only be promoted to the Golden Core Stage."

Er Shun straightened his back and fixed his eyes on Xi Yunting.

"Wu Xinzhi's spiritual root is only in the middle, and his comprehension is mediocre. If there is no great opportunity, it will be very difficult to practice to the Golden Core stage." Xi Yunting said calmly, "So, if you want to send the news back to Dai Kingdom, he You have to ask someone to deliver the letter on your behalf. Whether he leaves the mountain gate and goes to the Zhishitang to entrust it in person, or spends meritorious deeds to entrust the same door in the mountain gate, it will cost a lot of money. With his aptitude, it is necessary to ensure that he can keep up with the cultivation of the outer sect, and at the same time It takes more than ten years to save enough fees.”

Er Shun sat in a daze, completely unaware that it was because of lack of money that he was harmed.

Chen Xiao walked back, sat on the chair, and said inexplicably, "Are the outer disciples of the Chongxuan sect so poor? They can't afford to send a letter in ten years?"

Xi Yunting turned his head and said to him: "In the Chongxuan sect, the outer disciples will receive benefits every month, including food and cloth, to ensure that they will not worry about food and clothing. In addition, certain rewards will be distributed according to the monthly assessment. These are Some auxiliary supplies for cultivation. Except for their own use, they can use the excess to trade with others. As long as they perform well, they can easily get rewards. To ensure that they are always at the top, they must invest in cultivation More, basically I can't save any surplus money."

Chen Ling didn't expect the pressure on the disciples of Chongxuan Sect to be so great.

But after thinking about it, it is understandable that these people are apprentices when they go, and any formal sect does not open a philanthropy hall, and will not give these people who do not see any contribution to them preferential treatment as soon as they come up.It is enough to be compassionate enough to ensure that there is no need to worry about food and clothing, and to implement the scholarship system.

Wu Xinzhi was unlucky because he was an out-of-town student who had crossed the sky, not to mention express delivery, and he couldn't even send overseas letters.

"Then if the outer sect disciples want to accumulate money, there is nothing they can do?" Chen Xiao asked suspiciously.

Xi Yunting shook his head slightly: "No, disciples with low cultivation bases can accept some tasks issued by the inner hall and earn a little merit. These tasks are often guarding the medicine fields, picking and harvesting crops, such light tasks .A disciple with a higher level of cultivation, in addition to having more difficult tasks to do, can also go to the back mountain to practice, get prey or herbs, and if you are lucky, someone releases a task, and you can make a lot of money."

Chen Xiao nodded. They can provide work-study opportunities, and the management of these big sects is still very humane.

Although he got the answer, Er Shun's mood relaxed a little, but he became more worried, and he was absent-minded throughout the meal.When Chen Xiao talked to her, she only responded to one of the three sentences.

Seeing her state, Chen Xiao was really worried, so she personally sent her back to the Chen family.

Quietly called Zheng Shi aside, told her the content of their conversation in detail, and asked Zheng Shi to pay special attention to Dian Ershun these two days.

Chen Xiao told Zheng Shi that it is almost impossible for Wu Xinzhi to come back and marry Ershun. If Ershun can think about it this time, he can tell her a good marriage, and she will not be so worried when she has a family.

It can be seen that the daughter Mo Ruomu, Er Shun refused to marry when she didn't know, but when she found out why Wu Xinzhi couldn't send a reply, Er Shun would insist on waiting even more if she had a reason.

Er Shun is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, ten years have passed, maybe the hazy and sweet feelings of the youth have already faded with time.What she is obsessed with now is just waiting for a result of the original engagement.

Waiting for Wu Xinzhi's exact meaning—whether it is asking her to continue to wait, or getting divorced and marrying separately—she is determined not to be the first to be the one who broke her promise.

Hearing what Zheng said, wiping her tears, Chen Xiao was silent, but she couldn't help but respect Er Shun's character in her heart.

After a while, Chen Xiao sighed softly, and said to Mrs. Zheng: "Auntie, don't worry too much. Since I know about Er Shun, there is no reason for me to ignore it. The ceremony between me and my elder brother will be held at his master's gate. Within a year, I will definitely go to the Chongxuan School, and then I will definitely find Wu Xinzhi and ask him what he means face to face."

Zheng Shi didn't expect things to turn around like this!She grabbed Chen Xiao's hand, excited and grateful, "Silly baby, no, Chen Xiao, then my aunt is here to thank you!"

Chen Xiao didn't hide, let her grab her, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I'm really not used to it, you should call me a fool. It's not only because you are not used to it, but I also feel uncomfortable when I hear it. .”

Mrs. Zheng felt the same way, but she still insisted on not changing it, and even said: "It's just a mouthful now, and it will be changed after a long time."

Chen Xiao didn't bring up this matter again, and only told Zheng Shi to remember to comfort Er Shun, and told her that he would go to inquire about Wu Xinzhi himself, and then left.
