My very cool daughter-in-law

The invitation letter from the Chi family was delivered two days later, and this time it was indeed very formal. It was a special commissioner of the Chi family who contacted Sheng Xun, and then met with him at the agreed place, and personally delivered the invitation letter to me.

"Looking forward to your visit."

The Chi family who made a special trip to deliver the invitation letter even said this before parting.

He had a standard smile throughout the whole process, and his words were polite. He was probably responsible for outreach at the Chi family, and his attitude was very different from Chi Huaiming, whom Sheng Xun had met twice.

Huaihe has also been notified by Sheng Xun. They have been in frequent contact recently, and they have basically been able to synchronize messages.

Hearing that Sheng Xun mentioned the attitude of the other party when he was talking about getting the invitation letter, Huai He sneered: "Before, they evaluated you with a high attitude, but now they realize that you can really help, the other way around I beg you, if they still dare to show off in front of you, they just don't know how to flatter you."

When Walnut Jing talked about Chi's family, he had a bad face, and the video window showing his slumped face quickly turned dark twice.

Sheng Xun thought he had accidentally touched the brightness adjustment, but when he accidentally switched back to the main interface, he almost went blind.

Xiaoqiu stretched out his hand to help someone cover his eyes, and he lowered the brightness back to the normal level.

Then say, "Walnuts."

Huai He's downcast face froze.

He hastily suppressed the ghost energy that he had not controlled, and the darkened window immediately returned to normal.

Rao has a big name now, a name and a surname, but as long as Xiaoqiu calls out Walnut in a calm tone, Huaihe will still feel a little nervous.

In Zou He's words - every time he is called out like this, he is like a primary school student who is suddenly called by the teacher.

"I was wrong, master."

Huaihe, who had received the ghostly aura, bowed his head opposite the video, admitted his mistake and apologized in one go.

It's really like a schoolboy.

"If you can't control yourself." "Teacher Qiu" continued to warn him in a flat tone, "You stay the day after tomorrow, don't go."

The effect is outstanding.

Huaihe hurriedly began to promise that he would do a good job of self-control, and he also asked Sheng Xun to help him pull the emotional card, just begging his young master not to restrict his actions, and really not let him go with him the day after tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow is the time for the Chu family to leave for the Chi family's old house.

The Chi family has Xiaoqiu's remains, and there is a ritual circle against Xiaoqiu that cannot be left alone.

Huaihe and the others had spent so much time and effort to carefully arrange Sheng Xun into the field of vision of the mystic masters under the guise of entrustment, in order to allow Sheng Xun to receive the invitation of the Chi family and go deep into the interior of the Chi family.

The opportunity was right in front of him, Huaihe had already missed such a long time to act with the young master and Sheng Xun.

This visit to Chi's house was an adventure and an ending. Everyone had a vague intuition that they could find a result there, and that all the things that had been left so far might be found there.

Huai Li, of course, wanted to go with him.

And not only Huaihe, but also Zou He.

"At any rate, I was once an important part of his plan, how could there be no me?" Uncle Zou said so, and he had reasons, "And if I don't go, in case Sheng Xun needs to meet Chi alone on the way Family members, check the Chi family's formation or something, and in such a situation where he can't rush in with ghosts and artifacts, who will take care of the body for you, and who among the group of mystics can reassure you the most?"

Mr. Zou, who has already taken leave, expressed his opinion by pointing to Huaihe with one hand, and with the other he was holding the red sandalwood frame on the decorative wall of his home.

Huaihe's body was only two centimeters away from his fingertips, and he pointed out a taste of "narrow walnuts to make walnut essence".

At first, Sheng Xun and Xiao Qiu felt that Zou He's matter was open to discussion, after all, Zou He was a real ordinary person.

But soon, Chu Shi contacted Sheng Xun, and he brought Sheng Xun the latest news about the Chi family——

Not only one invitation letter from the Chi family was sent out.

This event was held as a small gathering, and the Chi family wanted to invite all parties to witness the posture of suppressing evil. The guests at the gathering were not all mystics, but family members who simply came to see the world.

Zou He then successfully joined the team.

He also became one of the people who were going to go to the Chi family.

Sheng Xun Xiaoqiu and Zou Hehuai met briefly before departure.

Xiaoqiu temporarily disguised himself as a jade card to transform spirit through the jade card, and his disguise was flawless.

Huai He is more worrying, he is prone to lose control of his emotions and show a ghostly air, and he is very restless.

Xiaoqiu came here specially to help Huaihe adjust his spiritual power.

He was equivalent to using his own strength to close a "safety valve" for Huai, to ensure that the other party would not just step into the Chi family's gate and expose his emotions on the spot.

During the adjustment of the fake jade brand essence to help the real walnut essence, Zou He and Sheng Xun chatted with each other.

Mr. Zou was lamenting the internal differences between the Chi and Chu families. When he raised his eyes, he saw that Sheng Xun seemed to be a little absent-minded.

"What are you thinking?" Zou He couldn't help asking.

Sheng Xun's gaze was originally cast out of the window, and they made an appointment tonight at a high-rise restaurant with a very private view.

The lights of tall buildings outside the window shone into Sheng Xun's eyes when he turned his head sideways, and he turned his gaze back with light.

Zou He could see clearly that Sheng Xun's eyes were complicated.

"I was thinking about a question." Sheng Xun said.

Mr. Zou was puzzled, he waited for a detailed explanation.

I heard Sheng Xun continue to say: "About the Chi family's gathering this time... Do you think they have a record for the event?"

Zou He: "..."

Zou He:? ? ?

Zou He looked at Sheng Xun as if he was looking at a god.

May I ask, besides Sheng Xun, who else in this world would think about whether it has followed the conventional procedures for reporting and filing the meeting before participating in a meeting of the mystical art world, and whether it is legal and compliant?

However, Sheng Xun had to think carefully about this matter.

Because Sheng Xun made another discovery after receiving the invitation letter from the Chi family——

The address of Chi's old house is in a neighboring city.

Unfortunately, it happened to be the place where his uncle had a "meeting".

Will it be such a coincidence?

Sheng Xun had doubts in his heart.

Remembering that he had promised his uncle not to run around, he couldn't help apologizing to his family, and felt that he might feel a little guilty the next time he saw his uncle.

But in any case, the trip to the Chi family is a must.

Sheng Xun wanted Xiaoqiu to be safe, and wanted to draw a real terminator for the century-old entanglement between ghosts and the Chi family.

After getting back the memory of "Brother Window", he realized that his own memory was also defective, and he felt a sense of anxiety that was not strong, but continued.

He also wants to get back his memory, everything that happened between him and Xiao Qiu in the past should not be missed in time.

This is a precious thing for both of them.

The days of preparation are fleeting, and everything is ready to go.

On the day of going to the Chi family's old house, Sheng Xun found out before departure that the Chu family had split into two groups, and the younger generation led by Chu Shang came to join them, and there was no face of the older generation of the Chu family in the team.

He saw Chu Kui and Chu Shi poking their heads in the crowd and waving at him from a distance.

"The old people are old after all." Chu Shang explained to Sheng Xun, "They can't bear the normal pace of action of the young people, and they are more particular about many places, so let's go first, and they will probably arrive a few hours behind us."

Sheng Xun completely understood.

For him, Xiaoqiu and Huaihe Zouhe, this arrangement is even better.

The older generation of the Chu family naturally includes the elder who has personally experienced the events of that year. The other party must be familiar with Xiaoqiu, and he must also be familiar with the walnut in Huaihe's body.

Xiaoqiu and Huaihe completely retracted into the utensils before the two humans went out, and now they are respectively staying in the pockets of Sheng Xun and Zou He.

This is the most convenient position they have researched. It is convenient for people to put their hands in their pockets at any time for simple interaction and communication. If the situation is critical enough to take action, they can also quickly get out of the main body.

In a situation where Sheng Xun needs to act alone, and Xiao Qiu cannot be taken rashly, it is normal for one person to take something out of his pocket and hand it to another person, and there is no need to make a big move.

The jade token was slightly hot in Sheng Xun's pocket. He greeted the other people who came up one by one, and shook hands politely with the people he met for the first time.

When Sheng Xun put his hands back in his pockets and they could get in the car, he felt the heat in his pockets and wanted to touch Xiao Qiu.

Unexpectedly, the jade card moved a little farther in the pocket on its own initiative, which was rare in his life, and wandered to the edge of the pocket.

Xiao Qiu avoids Sheng Xun's hand.

Sheng Xun: "...?"

Sheng Xun was a little puzzled by this never-before-seen situation, and his hands froze there.

Xiao Qiu thinks that the smell on Sheng Xun's hands is too much and too complicated, it's like someone bringing a group of uninvited guests into their private space, which makes him very dissatisfied.

But after a while, the jade tablet leaned back on its own initiative.

Xiao Qiu understood that Sheng Xun didn't mean it, he endured those strange and messy breaths, and carefully rolled the whole jade tablet in Sheng Xun's hand.

It wasn't until Xiaoqiu covered up all those complicated foreign things and consciously re-enclosed the territory, that he stayed in the hands of the people with peace of mind, and spread himself out into an honest hand-warming jade.

"..."

Sheng Xun had no choice, he could only passively feel everything Xiaoqiu did throughout the whole process, relying on his concentration to maintain his composure, and he answered several questions from the Chu family as if nothing had happened.

But next to him was Chu Shi who knew Sheng Xun better.

Junior Chu knew that his peers definitely wanted to talk to Sheng Xun, so although he sat in a seat very close to Sheng Xun because of his good relationship, he gave up all the opportunities to talk and went to Zou He himself. , chatting happily with my little uncle whom I haven't seen for a while.

The two of them were together, and at first glance, it was really impossible to tell that there was a generation between them.

"Little uncle." After talking to Zou He for a while, Chu Shi suddenly changed his subject. He looked at Sheng Xun and asked Zou He, "Look, is it my illusion? Why do I feel that my senior is today?" It's very peaceful and gentle, seems to be in a particularly good mood?"

In Xiao Chu's opinion, the trip to Chi's family is to take up the holiday to solve family troubles. If it is not for the unavoidable family affairs, and Sheng Xun and Zou He are also coming, he may have to suffer when he gets in the car today A face, a baby face wrinkled with an ugly wrinkled bun.

——But why is his senior in such a good mood?

Chu Shi couldn't figure it out, so he asked his uncle who was also familiar with Sheng Xun for a solution.

Mr. Zou followed Chu Shi's gaze to look there, and he glanced vaguely at Sheng Xun's hand in his pocket.

"Maybe it's the age." Mr. Zou opened his eyes and told the truth, "So once the hands are warm, people feel better."

Chu Shi:? ? ?

A big question mark floated on Xiao Chu's head, suspecting that his uncle usually spent too much time in the laboratory, and finally became an alien brain.

Otherwise, how could he not understand a single word?

The car arrived at Chi's house amid Chu Shi's questions. During the several hours' drive, he still hadn't figured out why Sheng Xun was in a good mood, and why Zou He said the same thing that day.

The Chi family's old house is located in a privately contracted mountain, surrounded by vegetation outside, and the car has to drive a short mountain road to reach the ancient gate of the old house.

When the car stopped and Sheng Xun got out of the car with everyone, there was a person from the Chi family at the door rushing up to meet him. It was obvious that he had read the information and knew which of these people was Sheng, one of the distinguished guests of the Chi family today. Xun.

However, Sheng Xun stood in front of the dark old gate of the outer courtyard, he was stunned for a moment, everything around him seemed to be temporarily far away, and the environment he was in seemed to have undergone a sudden change.

It is also such a door, and it is also such a dark high courtyard wall.

He got off the car at the door on a certain day of a certain year, and a boy in a brown shorts walked towards him quickly at the door.

"You come with me." The boy said, "It's windy and snowy outside, take this hand stove."

He nodded slightly at the opponent, but avoided the hand stove that the opponent brought up with both hands.

"I'm still afraid of the cold?" He said, his eyes swept over the servant's hands that were red in the cold wind, and there was a sentence that didn't need to be brought to his mouth, but he changed it temporarily.

"Okay, you can help me get a section first, I can't make it now, give it to me when I go inside."

He instructed so, without giving anyone a chance to refute, he raised his leg and stepped over the threshold to walk in.

He didn't even need a servant to lead the way, he was as familiar with this place as his own, which way to go after entering the door, which crossing to turn, which direction to go to avoid seeing some people he didn't like to meet as much as possible, everything He knows the layout well.

The boy was stunned at the door for a moment before thinking of chasing after him. However, the half-grown boy was not as tall as him and his legs were not as long. He took one step to beat the opponent two steps faster, and the opponent ran after him at a trot. Go ahead and lead him the way.

"I...I only dare to take you to the middle and rear part of the Eight Diagrams Gallery today." The boy summoned up his courage and said to him.

He looked down at the boy, and found that he was ashamed.

He seemed to be amused in his heart, but also wanted to sigh.

"Okay." He said, "You have improved compared to before, dare to take a few more steps in that corridor."

And people who dared to go to the middle and back of the corridor like the boy were already a minority in this compound.

He didn't make it too difficult for a child who grew up with the concept of "monsters in the depths of the corridor", sent him away in the gossip corridor in advance, and continued to walk deep into the corridor by himself until he took two steps at the end Up the stairs, to the door of that lonely and deserted courtyard.

"You came later than I expected." said the person waiting in the yard.

The man tilted his head, his pale face seemed to be suspicious, and he said to him again: "You are late because you are talking to others."

The breath that was not sighed just now is really sighed now.

He walked towards that person, and gently corrected the other person's words: "I came late because I was trying to build a good relationship with the conscientious people in your family."

As for why you need to build a good relationship, of course, it is because, even if it is just a small improvement like daring to get closer to the corridor, I hope that there will be more people in this family who are friendly to you.

……

"Mr. Sheng?" The Chi family specialist who came to greet him called again, and he saw that the young man in front of him seemed to have lost his mind suddenly.

Sheng Xun heard this call, and everything about the past around him receded like a tide, and it returned to what it should be.

"Sorry." He apologized in a low voice, and his eyes fell on the door of Chi's house.

"I just feel that I seem to have a lot of fate with this place."

It's like returning home.
