Cultivation in the city

Chen Yan's trip to Qi City was barely smooth.

The supernatural events in the school are not difficult, but they are caused by a little bit of evil spirit. Chen Yan's body is the nemesis of these evil things. He went around, not to mention evil spirit, even if it is the evil spirit that condenses into a solid body, it is nothing It's a fireball thing.

Of course, it was a strange thing for this kind of thing to appear in the school. Sure enough, after investigation by the supernatural power team, it was found that some students were playing a game of summoning souls, and as a result, an evil spirit was awakened.

As for why there is such a thing in a place like the school, Chen Yan no longer cares. Anyway, the ability team will investigate the matter clearly.

The members of the ability team in Qi City have great enthusiasm for Chen Yan, not only because of Chen Yan's strength, but also because the shares of Xinglintang he controls represent great interests.

So as soon as Chen Yan got off the train, the members of Qi City's ability group took him to visit various scenic spots, as if they regarded this trip as a public tour.

Chen Yan smiled, but his attitude of rejection was quite clear.

If it was normal, he would play as soon as he played, and he wouldn't have the idea of ​​eating people's mouths and taking people's hands short.But now he already misses the little guy at home, so he is very impatient with these entertainments.

It's strange to say that it's only been a few days since we separated, it seems like it's been a long time.

"Young Master Yan, what do you think? Young Master Yan?" Seeing that Chen Yan seemed to be distracted, the man couldn't help shouting.

"What?" Chen Yan asked.

"Just now, Yan Ju mentioned the matter of buying shares in Xinglintang. I don't know what you think." The man repeated the question with some embarrassment.

Chen Yan smiled gently, but spoke in a very blunt tone.

"Are you joking?" Seeing the other party's expression was even more embarrassing, but Chen Yan was not polite at all, "Do you think it's possible?"

"Uh... this, this, we're just discussing the possibility, haha, haha."

Although he didn't like this person who had lost face with the power group, Zeng Ping, as the leader of Qi City, naturally couldn't let the other party continue to be ashamed like this, so he could only take the initiative to make a relief: "I don't know the Qi City branch of Xinglintang How's the preparation going?"

Talking about business, Chen Yan returned to normal.

He and Zeng Ping went back and forth to discuss the establishment of Xinglintang branch in Qi City, and the two sides seemed to be in harmony with each other.

When the matter was almost discussed, Zeng Ping also had a better understanding of Chen Yan.

This is a very opinionated person.Although there was a smile on his face all the time, the smile did not seep into the other party's eyes. He was rational and calm, smart and cunning.

He can easily avoid any problems that may set up traps, and he will not give an inch when it comes to interests, making it absolutely impossible for people to take advantage of anything.

Zeng Ping almost instantly made a decision in his heart that it was best not to be an enemy of this kind of person. He was more sensitive to danger than his younger brother Zeng Fan.

Of course, on the other hand, it also strengthened his determination to cooperate with Chen Yan.

This time, it was no longer unilateral because of the huge benefits that Xinglintang's entry into Qi City might bring, and because Chen Yan himself was enough for him to invest with all his heart.

"I heard that the medicine of Xinglintang was developed by a young man named Duan Xiaolou. Why didn't he come with you this time?" Zeng Ping asked suddenly.

"Xiaolou is doing research on new drugs. In order not to delay the process, he was not invited to come with him this time." Chen Yan said with a smile.

When Duan Xiaolou was mentioned, Chen Yan's attitude softened, making it difficult for Zeng Ping not to notice.

This might be a good entry point, Zeng Ping thought.

"Is Duan Xiaolou responsible for the research of new drugs alone?" Zeng Ping asked, "Without other people assisting? Isn't that a lot of work?"

Chen Yan said: "Others can't keep up with his thinking, and they can't help if they want to. As for the workload, Xiaolou has been able to adapt well, and there is no problem."

When he said that others couldn't keep up with Duan Xiaolou's thinking, he was obviously showing off and proud, and Zeng Ping became more and more sure that the relationship between the two was extraordinary.

"You two have such a good relationship." Zeng Ping said with emotion and tentativeness.

"Of course." Chen Yan, who has always been scheming and cautious, admitted it very straightforwardly as if he hadn't realized Zeng Ping's temptation at all. The smiling face even had a kind of expression that could make people see at a glance. The sense of pleasure she felt was nothing compared to the way she looked during the negotiation just now.

"I really hope that you can go together when you come to Qi City next time." Zeng Ping said with deep meaning, but very sincerely.

"Yes." Chen Yan said.

Probably the name "Duan Xiaolou" really had some kind of magical effect on Chen Yan. In the following conversation, Chen Yan's attitude towards Zeng Ping improved a lot. It didn't feel like hiding a knife in a smile at first.

In any case, this is a good start for Zeng Ping.

There are never too many talents, especially those like Chen Yan and Duan Xiaolou. Zeng Ping hopes that they will stay in Qi City permanently, but considering the possibility and his younger brother in Zhongzhou, Zeng Ping puts this unrealistic hope into consideration. Put it aside for now.

Talent cannot be retained temporarily, but it does not prevent him from getting in touch with Chen Yan. Sometimes it is not necessary for the other party to stay to be useful. If one day needs it, it is better to have this kind of friendly relationship than to have black eyes. much.

"I don't know whether you will continue to play in Qi City for a few days, or go back immediately?" Zeng Ping asked.

Unlike other people who always wished him to stay for a few more days, Zeng Ping was very considerate, so Chen Yan's attitude towards him was much better than others.

"I'm going to Zhongzhou tomorrow." Chen Yan replied.

"Oh? So urgent?" Zeng Ping asked a little strangely.Although what he asked was whether Chen Yan would leave after playing for a few days or go back immediately, but he still felt that Chen Yan would stay for a few days before returning to Central Continent. waste?

"There is still a little guy waiting at home." Chen Yan smiled.

It's only been a few days, and I already miss that little guy very much. Obviously, he didn't have the participation of the other party in such a long life, why did he fall in love with the little guy in just over a year?

Zeng Ping was very considerate and didn't ask any further questions. He added some water to Chen Yan's teacup and said, "Okay, I'll get someone to prepare a return ticket later? Should I go back by plane or by train? "

Zeng Ping originally planned to ask someone to book the ticket directly according to his inertia, but considering that Chen Yan came by train, he added later.

Chen Yan was so eager to return home now, there was no rush when he came, so naturally Zeng Ping calmed down the train.

In fact, he already regretted coming to Qi City alone, and he didn't know if the little guy ate and slept well at home alone, whether he gained weight or lost weight.

On the day Chen Yan left, Zeng Ping came to the small courtyard of his master's headquarters again.

His master was still playing chess with the white-robed boy. Here, the time and space seemed to be different from the outside world. However, in fact, there was no difference between this place and the outside world. The only difference was that people and moods were different.

"That person has already left?" Zeng Ping's master asked.

Zeng Ping replied: "Yes, I just left not long ago."

His master nodded, sighed, and said, "It's better to go, it's better to go..."

It seemed a little lost that way.

Zeng Ping was a little curious, but seeing that the master didn't intend to explain, he put away his curiosity and sat aside to watch them play chess.

In the silence, only the crisp sound of chess pieces falling on the chessboard could be heard, which made this small courtyard seem more peaceful and distant for a while.

On the other side, Duan Xiaolou's potion exploded again.

While absently tidying up the mess in the laboratory, he frowned and thought about the time when Chen Yan left and the expected return date.

His experiment failed again. This was the No. 17 failure since Chen Yan left.

It's not that Chen Yan didn't fail when he was around, but those failures were not like this...the whole pot exploded...

Duan Xiaolou tidied up the laboratory and took out another set of materials.

He has a lot of materials, and even if it fails, this small explosion can't hurt

Seeing him with the amulet, but he was not as energetic as before and wanted to start the next experiment immediately.

Duan Xiaolou held Jin Lingcao in his left hand and the reagent bottle in his right. He held it out of thin air for a minute. He wanted to continue the experiment, but he couldn't seem to remember the next experimental steps. He was thinking about the experiment for a while, and for a while Thinking about Chen Yan's matter, I was very confused.

After a while, Duan Xiaolou dejectedly put down the equipment in his hand.When Chen Yan was there, he didn't feel anything. Only after Chen Yan left did he realize the importance of the other party.

With Chen Yan not around, he would feel uncomfortable sleeping alone at night. Obviously at the beginning, he felt that Chen Yan occupied half of the bed and it looked very crowded.Chen Yan was not around, he would habitually raise his head when he ate something he thought was good, but he had no one to talk to.Chen Yan is not here...

Chen Yan is not here, it seems that everything is not right, obviously he can live well without leaving the teacher, leaving his parents, leaving his brothers and sisters, why would he become like this just leaving Chen Yan?

Duan Xiaolou went downstairs, today's dinner has been delivered for a while, if Chen Yan was there, the other party must have dragged himself to the dining table long ago, and wiped out the delicious dishes.But now, they are opened word by word, and they still have the color and a little bit of aroma that belonged to food, but they have become cold, making people lose the desire to eat them.

Duan Xiaolou was about to eat some of these cold food casually and fool around, but he heard a sound from the door.

"Guessing that you may have forgotten the time because of the experiment, I happened to go to the private kitchen we often go to order something to eat." Chen Yan picked up the food box in his hand and motioned Duan Xiaolou to look here.

Duan Xiaolou felt a burst of joy at first, but then felt wronged for a while.

He flattened his mouth and complained like a child: "Why did you come back only now?"

Chen Yan was not only not angry, but also felt joyful as if something exploded in his heart. He walked into Duan Xiaolou, kissed his forehead, and said, "Sorry, I'm late. I won't be here anymore."
