overthrow the chief

——Murong Yan is gone!

When Chu Ting woke up early in the morning, he didn't see any familiar figure, only Xuan Lun himself came to serve the master as a disciple, he asked casually, and what he got was the bewildered look of his own senior disciple.

Xuan Lun said that he did not see him in the morning.

Chu Ting frowned, and went to Murongyan's room to have a look in person, and found that the bed was neatly made and had not been moved at all, the luggage had not been unpacked, but the person had disappeared.

He asked the waiter and the shopkeeper, and they both said that they only saw him go upstairs last night, but they didn't see him go downstairs.There was no news from Jiang Yilang either.

Murong Yan, he...wouldn't be the one who left without saying goodbye.Chu Ting frowned and sat in the room, feeling very troubled.

This is not near Longyuan Mountain, he can still search everywhere.The Son of Heaven himself is still a foreigner at his feet, and if he makes any movement, it will arouse suspicion.Holding back his temper, he waited until evening, but there was still no trace of the boy.Chu Ting gradually became anxious in his heart.

For the current plan, it would be more reliable to ask Chu Huailin, the eldest son of the Chu family, for help.

After thinking about it, he was still planning to visit rashly.Xuan Lun took the initiative to come to him, and hesitantly talked about what happened last night.

"Confused!"

Chu Ting was furious and wanted to take care of her family.He was trembling with anger, and looked at Xuan Lun with extreme disappointment: "You...that's what you do, big brother?"

"Master!" Xuan Lun shouted half unwillingly and half wronged: "I know that I made a mistake this time, but... but Murong is indeed suspicious..."

"You..." Chu Ting was speechless for a long time, he thought that his apprentices were all well, even though Murong Yan was usually a little cold and not very gregarious, but they had a good relationship.Xuan Lun did such a stupid thing today, which made him feel unbelievable.

Moreover, does Murong Yan really know the secret of Yan State's destruction?Why...why didn't you tell him?He thought he had trusted him and got this response.Chu Ting didn't know what it was like, and there was still some hidden throbbing pain in his heart.

Did he fail like that as a master?

Chu Ting slumped down on the chair, a self-deprecating smile slowly appeared on his lips, and he was a little discouraged: "Forget it, according to what you said, maybe you want to go out and relax. You..."

"Putong" Xuan Lun knelt down on the ground, he was most concerned about Chu Ting's thoughts, seeing his master's sad look, he also felt something wrong with what he did, and he was ashamed and ashamed: "Master, it was me I made a mistake, please don’t be angry. I will go out and find a way to find the second junior brother back, and apologize to him..."

Chu Ting was in a daze for a while, unwilling to think deeply.He waved his hands weakly and told Xuan Lun to figure it out for himself.Sitting alone in the room and sulking to myself.

Yet another day passed, and there was still no news of Murong Yan.The anxiety in Chu Ting's heart was a little uncontrollable, but he remained calm on the surface. Even so, when he met Jiang Yilang and Xuan Lun, he had long since lost his usual lively jokes.

Jiang Yilang knew that he was worried, so he didn't joke much anymore, but the number of times he went out became more and more frequent.In desperation, it happened that Chu Huailin invited Chu Ting to come to the house for a talk, and Chu Ting immediately agreed.

The Chu family's mansion in the capital is said to have been left behind by a prince from the previous dynasty. Not to mention the large area, the pavilions and buildings are very exquisite.It occupies a large area on the east side of the inner city.This is also the emperor's preferential treatment to such a big family as the Chu family, otherwise he would be labeled as violating the system.

Chu Huailin has always had no pretensions in front of Chu Ting, so he came to bring him in personally. When he got to the door, he was indeed from a great family. Although Laodi would not be placed in the capital, this is also the Chu family's headquarters in Beijing, and the momentum is very impressive.The four gatekeepers at the gate alone are also generous, they look very confident, and they look neither humble nor overbearing.

Chu Ting knew very well in his heart that only when he became strong and stood firm on his feet would he have such a sense of security and confidence.It's the same everywhere.What he hopes is that everyone sent by Taiqing can live a peaceful and comfortable life like everyone in the Chu family.

After entering, the servants also had their own sense of proportion, the courtyard was quiet and orderly.Chu Ting watched in admiration, and couldn't help showing a little bit.He wanted to test it out, so there was some deliberate flattery in his words, which made Chu Huailin smile slightly: "Speaking of which, this is the family management method left by our ancestors."

"Old ancestor?" Chu Ting searched in memory, but there was no relevant information about the ancestor of the Chu family - who remembers people from more than 1000 years ago?

Chu Huailin naturally knew this. In fact, at this age, the only ones who knew the old ancestor of the Chu family were the Chu family themselves.He seemed quite interested, and smiled and said, "There is only one ancestor of the Chu family, and it was Chu Gefei who built the Chu family 1000 years ago."

Chu Gefei... the name seems familiar.Chu Ting's mind was spinning quickly, but he couldn't think of anything.It just felt weird for nothing.

Chu Huailin asked again: "Brother Chu, do you know the level of martial arts among people in the martial arts world?"

Regarding this, we are talking about third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, super-first-rate, and master-level. Chu Ting can now talk about a lot in a clear and logical manner.Chu Ting was not surprised that Chu Huailin mentioned this topic, not only that, his heart moved, and he asked with a smile: "Could it be that... the old ancestor of the Chu family is also a master of the rivers and lakes?"

Sure enough, as he expected, Chu Huailin nodded and said quite complacently, "He is a legendary master."

Legendary?The legendary... legendary level?

Chu Ting's eyes lit up, waiting for Chu Huailin to continue, Chu Huailin said again: "About this point, there is a tendency to become a legend. After all, it happened 1000 years ago, and even the family records may not be accurate and true."

"Martial arts in the world have been passed down for a long time, and there are only two or three legendary masters." Chu Huailin greeted Chu Ting to admire the garden of the Chu family, and talked about the history of the Chu family while walking, nothing more than how Hard work and hard work, strict family rules, and just right to build a good relationship with the new emperor.Chu Ting listened, but was a little impressed.

It is really not easy for such a big family to flourish and flourish for a long time.

When it comes to this topic, Chu Huailin, who is a descendant of the Chu family, is very proud. The two exchanged a few words, and then entered Chu Huailin's own small courtyard. In the study, Chu Ting had many purposes, and he was also worried at the moment. Heavy.Without caring about anything else, he first told about Murong Yan's disappearance.

Within Daxuan, the power of the Chu family belongs to the top wave, regardless of whether the investigation is done or not, with such a good helper, why not use it?What's more, in order to get back his apprentice, Chu Ting has never been a pedantic person.

Chu Huailin agreed immediately, and immediately asked the housekeeper to take a name card to the yamen in the capital and ask for help.Chu Ting's heart was a little more stable, but he could sit still a little.Chu Huailin smiled and said: "Since all of you are here, I will just say that in a few days, my fifth sister will get married and marry the third son of the Tan family, Tan Shi'an. Then I will need you as a friend to come to drink A glass of wine."

Chu Ting muttered inwardly.Hearing Chu Huailin's tone, he really didn't treat him as an outsider.The marriage between the young lady of the Chu family and the son of the Tan family is basically a political marriage, not a small matter.Chu Ting is just the head of the Jianghu sect, and he is far from the foundation of the four major sects... No matter how big his head is, he feels something is wrong now.Can't help but look up and down Chu Huailin from the corner of the eye.

I have to say, this kid is pretty handsome, his nose is his nose and his eyes are his eyes... Although he doesn't look as good as Murong Yan—huh?Why did you think of your second apprentice again?

Chu Ting pulled back his thoughts like a wild donkey, and started to study again. Marriage requires gift money and red envelopes. The other party is the Chu family, and there are not enough good things to look at. Isn't this a problem for himself?

As if seeing Chu Ting's doubts, Chu Huailin laughed: "Brother Chu, you can feel free to come and play without your gift money. I asked you to come for another matter."

Chu Ting blinked: "The Taiqing sect is a small family, my second disciple is still missing..."

"Hey, I'll help you find someone." Chu Huailin was very attentive and said very kindly: "As long as you come to my Fifth Sister's wedding banquet..."

He was halfway through speaking, when suddenly a handsome young man walked in lightly at the door and whispered a few words in his ear, Chu Ting couldn't hear clearly and didn't think too much about it.Chu Huailin frowned, and straightened up: "Brother Chu, I'm sorry, I need to take care of some things at home, please wait a moment."

After all, he hurried away.

Chu Ting stayed alone in the study room, bored left and right, glanced around, and found that Chu Huailin was indeed a candidate for the imperial examination, and the bookshelves and desks were full of books of classics and historical anthology.He is not a person who rummages through things casually, so he walked to the window again, and the corresponding place is the back garden of the Chu family. It is already late June, and the back garden is lush with flowers, red leaves and green, which is quite a refreshing summer mood. , which made Chu Ting sigh again.A noble family is a noble family, just talking about the enjoyment aspect... Cough, there is no comparison.

After waiting for a while, Chu Huailin still did not come back.There was no one around, Chu Ting followed the path into the back garden, stared at the goldfish in the lotus pond in a daze, continued to think about where Murong Yan might have gone, and suddenly had an idea, he was right now in the capital base camp of the Chu family. Great opportunity to investigate.

Although he was not in the mood, once this idea popped up, he couldn't suppress it no matter what.He thought about it for a while, and just as he was about to act, he heard the sound of weeping and crying from behind the bushes, and his curiosity arose again.Walking over to take a look, it was a young girl in light yellow and tender color, and her demeanor and attire were quite upscale.Chu Ting didn't know much about women, so he didn't know if it was a young lady or a maid.

The girl was not completely immersed in her own world, she moved her ears and noticed Chu Ting's undisguised footsteps, raised her head and glared at him with red and swollen eyes: "Who are you?"

Chu Ting was a little embarrassed, and coughed dryly: "I'm in Xia Chu Ting, and I'm the eldest son's friend."

The little girl cried with a hoarse voice: "Are you a friend of the elder brother? Why have I never seen you?"

"This..." Chu Ting was almost stopped by the question. When he was in a complicated mood, he spread his hands and said helplessly: "There is always a first time in everything. I have never met you, Miss?"

"That's right, what you said is very reasonable." The little girl rolled her eyes, but nodded approvingly: "Since you are a friend of the eldest brother, you are also a friend of the Chu family. I am the fifth member of the Chu family." Miss, what's my name... I can't tell you, you can just call me Fifth Miss."

Fifth Miss?fifth sister?The one to marry?Why are you hiding here and crying alone?

Before the wedding, he secretly cried alone. Apart from dissatisfaction with the marriage, Chu Ting really couldn't think of any other reasons.He hesitated to speak, and felt that he had enough things now, and it was better to be less involved.Whether it's the fifth young lady of the Chu family or the third young master of the Tan family, they're all with him... wait, the Tan family?

Because Tan Yuanyuan talked about the two Susu sisters, Chu Ting's impression of the Tan family was that they were broken before they got in touch.But Chu Ting himself also knew that the Tan family was the Tan family and had little to do with Donghua Hall, so they couldn't be confused with each other, and they couldn't be offended together - then he would really be in trouble in the entire Daxuan.

So, without saying anything, he bid farewell politely and turned back to the study.But the Fifth Miss of the Chu family seems to have managed to see someone, a person she has never seen before, and a person who seems worthy of getting close... When she was full of worries, her desire to confide reached the peak uncontrollably top.So, she called Chu Ting to stop.

Chu Ting sat beside her and remained silent for a while.Fifth Miss suddenly asked: "Young Master Chu, do you... have someone you like?"

Chu Ting should have shaken his head decisively and said no, but at this moment, a few traces of confusion and a familiar figure flashed in his heart, and he suddenly said: "I... don't know if I like it or not."

He sighed sadly: "So what if you like it? Falling flowers have intentions, but flowing water may not have feelings."
