He is lying on wooden furniture for sleeping

There was a sudden jump in Chi's determination, and then he heard a questioning voice behind him: "Are you from this family too?"

Turning his head to look, he looked like a young man in his twenties.The young man was physically strong, and he could tell at a glance that he was not someone to be bullied.

"Yes. You too?" Chi Jue gave him a friendly smile. It seems that this person should be one of the previous four.

"En." The young man nodded and said, "We'll have five people when you come. The elders may call us together in a few days and assign us to manage the family business."

"Manage the family business?" Chi Jue paused, thinking of what Chi Ming said before, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Why?" The young man smiled and said, "I want to manage the auction house. The auction house often sells some good things. I think this place is very suitable for me."

"Uh." Seeing the young man's high-spirited appearance, Chi Jue didn't know how to speak, hesitated, and said, "How do you know that we will manage the family business?"

The young man showed an exaggerated surprised expression and said: "The patriarch ordered it, and he also said that it represents the family's respect for me."

Chi Jue: "..."

What a naive man!

"Why that expression? Where do you want to manage?" The young man patted Chi Jue on the shoulder vigorously, his face full of expectations for the future.

"How long have you been here?" Chi Jue asked.

"Three months." The young man curled his lips: "Why are you asking this? You haven't answered what I asked you—what property do you want to manage in the family?"

Chi Ming said that the earliest of the four came three months ago, and the earliest one seemed to be the young man in front of him.It turned out that he didn't know how the sent clansmen were treated.

If you directly tell him not to think too well, it may anger the other party, anyway, you will know in three days, and you should let the elder speak better.

Chi Jue thought for a while, then took his words and said, "I want to manage the chamber of commerce."

"Oh?" The young man said with an interesting expression: "The Chamber of Commerce is also good, but it depends on how the elders allocate it. If I are assigned to manage the Chamber of Commerce and you are assigned to manage the auction house, we can beg the elders to exchange us. .”

"En." Chi Jue nodded and smiled.

"You must be tired from the journey just here, so I won't bother you. You can rest first." The young man waved his hand and said briskly.

Chi Jue nodded, watched the young man go away, thought for a while, and found that the young man didn't ask his name or tell him his last name.

After running all the way here, he was really exhausted physically and mentally, Chi never thought much about what happened just now, he simply tidied up the room and lay down to rest.

In a flash, it was three days later.

There was a knock on the door early in the morning, and Chi Jue reluctantly got up from the bed with a strong breath of getting up.

When I rushed to the main hall of the house, I saw an old man with gray hair and beard sitting in the center, and two young girls with their heads bowed behind the seat, they should be servants of the family.Besides that, there were four young people in the hall, all of them stood respectfully aside.

Chi Jue saluted the old man, and then stood aside respectfully.

"Everyone is here." The elder stroked his beard and said, "I called you here today, and you may have guessed my intention - you are all excellent people from the same family, so you will also be here in my branch." get reused."

Hearing this, Chi Jue caught a glimpse of the other four showing indescribable excitement.

The elder took everyone's expressions into his eyes, smiled and said: "Your destination has almost been decided, and I called you here to tell you the news."

"Elder, don't be secretive, tell me quickly." An eager voice sounded, and it seemed that he was impatient.

The elder frowned indiscriminately, then stroked his beards without haste, and then said: "The auction house's guard team still lacks a few immortal cultivators. You can make a big splash in the auction house."

"Guard...Guard?" The surprised expression of the person who spoke just now seemed to make his eyes pop out.

The other few didn't expect the elders to make such a decision, and the expectations on their faces turned into unwillingness, with a hint of anger mixed in with it.

He thought that he would be appreciated and reused in the branch, but in the end he was sent to the guard.

"The patriarch asked me to come here and learn to manage the family so that I can formally accept the family's property in the future—elder, you want me to be a guard?" A dissatisfied voice sounded.

"Elder, are you joking?" The other person's voice was also full of dissatisfaction.

"I might as well go back to my home if I come to the branch as a guard." Another person said disdainfully.

The four expressed their attitudes towards the elder's decision, but Chi Jue remained silent and stood still.

I had been psychologically prepared for the conversation with Chi Ming before, and now I am not too surprised to hear the result, but there are still some unexplainable emotions in Chi's determination.

Pfft, it's really a guard, Chi Jue said to himself, let me, a person who doesn't know anything about cultivating immortals, guard the auction house, won't it really become the auction house to protect me?

Complaining words sounded one after another, but the elder just smiled and said nothing.

After a while, the elder waved his hand slightly until the voices of the four people stopped one after another.

"I know that you all want to manage the family property, but there are only so many family properties in this city. Besides, you have no experience, so you have to do something else to accumulate it first." The elder said without any haste.

"But you can't ask us all to be guards!" One person hastily answered.

"Why not?" At this moment, a majestic voice sounded, and Chi Jue looked around, only to see an old man lift the curtain and come out from the inner room.

The two maidservants behind the elder saluted respectfully and called "Patriarch".

After seeing the old man's face, Chi Jue's face was filled with disbelief.

Fuck!this person!this person!I know this person!

Uncle Police is him!He is the old man who touched porcelain on the street two days ago!Love to catch him in!

——Wait, the elder called him the patriarch, he is the patriarch of the branch family?

"Patriarch." Seeing the old man coming out, the elder smiled and stood up.

"En." The old man nodded to the elder, and then said to Chi Jue and the others: "My name is Chi Yan, and I am the head of the branch of the Chi family, and also the deputy head of the entire family. Since the five of you are all members of your own family, Come here, you can just call me deputy patriarch."

"Deputy patriarch, you came just in time!" One person stepped forward two steps and said: "The patriarch gave us a heavy responsibility, why did the elder ask us to be guards?"

"Why not? You were sent here, and I will decide what to do with you. I know you are dissatisfied, but you think too highly of yourself. Hasn't being sent out from your own family made you wake up?" Every year when I separate from my family, many people from my own family will come, how can there be so many vacant positions in my family’s property for you.” The old man’s expression was full of deterrence, and his eyes seemed to be shining with light.

The four of them were at a loss for words for a while, disappointment and anger intertwined on their faces, only Chi Jue was still in shock.

This majestic voice and tough and straight body are completely different from the previous two days!

The person who said "Hey! Ya! I fell!" and said "I don't know him" in a particularly mean tone is really the majestic head of the branch family in front of him! ?

The painting style is completely different!

"If you can't accept the elder's decision, you can also choose to go back to your home." Chi Yan's gaze stayed on the four of them for a moment and then turned to Chi Jue's face.He looked at Chi Jue for a while, and there was a smile on his majestic face: "Your name is Chi Jue, right? The auction house still lacks a steward, and I think you are suitable. There will be many difficult things to deal with when you get there. Things, I hope your adaptability can add strength to our Chi family."

Huh?

Chi Jue looked at Chi Yan in a daze, but out of the corner of his eye, he got the distorted expressions of the four of them as if they were going to eat him.

"It's not fair!" One person exclaimed, "Why can that kid be in charge! Could it be that he went to establish a good relationship with you, the deputy patriarch, in private?"

"Cultivated to talk nonsense!" Chi Yan once again recovered his solemn look: "The patriarch naturally knows what to do."

Choking on the deputy patriarch's words, the man bared his eyes, and gave Chi Jue a hard look, his eyes filled with hatred.

Chi Jue was a little helpless, but there was an unexpected joy in his helplessness.

Damn, how did I know that my old man who touches porcelain is the deputy patriarch!I just don't want to lose money, and I don't want to be seen by him for my wit! ——Of course, Chi Jue only dared to think about this in his heart, saying such words that deserve to be beaten is the rhythm of being beaten every minute.

Glancing at him, he saw the expression of a person gnashing his teeth again, and Chi's determination jumped suddenly.

Although he was asked to be in charge, but he was also working in the auction house with those four people, and every day he looked down and saw each other... Chi Jue felt a chill down his spine.

The deputy patriarch didn't take you to test your adaptability!As witty as I am, I have now decided to remain silent!

Chi Jue made up his mind, with disbelief on his face, as if he couldn't accept the result.Even so, he did not utter a word of objection with his lips tightly shut.

Seeing Chi Jue's reaction, Chi Yan smiled without a trace, shook his hand and said, "Okay, pack up, I'll send someone to take you to the auction house to familiarize yourself first. If anyone is dissatisfied with this decision and doesn't want to go, you can find it alone." I'll talk."

"Talk to me alone." When he said these words, Chi Yan's voice intensified a little, which tinged his words with a hint of menace.

The threatening words made all four people except Chi Jue shudder involuntarily.

It seems that no one has any objection to this result.
