Chapter 33: The Connection Between the Two Chen Families
Everyone in the Chen family also realized that this was indeed impolite, so they stepped back one after another and invited Lin Feng to take a seat.
"I don't know where Xiaoyou's family lives and where he studied from?" Chen Qi's father asked, but then felt that the question was a bit abrupt, so he immediately said: "This is Xiaoyou's personal question, if it is inconvenient, you can not answer." ”
"There's nothing inconvenient, I live in Falling Moon City, and as for Shizun, the hermit of the mountains, no one remembers his name anymore. Lin Feng said simply: "This time, he asked me to go to the Chen family in the capital to perform some things back then." It is precisely for this reason that after I saw the Chen character of your caravan, I thought that you were the Chen family in the capital, so I came to the rescue. ”
Lin Feng's excuses were all made up by him a long time ago, and when he was out of the house, he naturally couldn't easily reveal his details, so he had already forged a fake identity for himself.
"Oh, the Chen family that Xiaoyou is looking for, but the Chen family in the capital, who is good at refining weapons?" asked the head of the family, Chen Yi.
"Exactly. Lin Feng nodded and asked, "Seniors know that Chen family?"
"I know, speaking of which, we still have some relationship with that Chen family. Chen Yi stroked his beard and said slowly: "Few people in our entire Chen family know about this matter now, and I also heard my grandfather mention it back then." He said, "We are one family with the Chen family in the capital. ”
"Huh?" Lin Feng wasn't much surprised, but the other people present in the Chen family let out an exclamation, and Chen Qi's father asked, "Family Master, why haven't we heard of this before?"
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, didn't I say it, and now few people in the whole family know about it. I'm afraid that only a few old men, including me, still know about this, and if we don't mention it today, I'm afraid we will be taken to the grave by us. Chen Yi explained:
"Here's the thing, a long time ago, I don't know exactly how long. At that time, there was no Chen family in Iron and Stone City, our line was still living in the capital, the Chen family was good at refining weapons, and it was the strongest casting family in the entire Lieyun Country, the family was extremely prosperous at that time, of course, the Chen family in the capital city was also very strong now.
The Chen family has grown, and it is inevitable that some people don't like casters, these people who don't want to cast weapons, some specialize in martial arts, eager to crush all opponents with absolute strength, and some go to study the spirit array, wanting to reach the peak with the formation. And there is also a group of people who like alchemy, and our ancestors are such people.
He didn't learn the way of the family's casting, and he had been studying how to alchemy, precisely because there were too many chaotic people in the family's middle school, which led to a period of time later, the Chen family's casting technology plummeted, which greatly affected their status. In order to make the family prosperous again, the high-level leaders of the Chen family decided to prohibit the disciples of the family from learning other techniques other than casting, and those who violated the rules would be expelled from the family. ”
"So, the ancestors of our lineage were expelled from the line?" asked another old man from the Chen family. His status in the Chen family is very high, but this is the first time he has heard of this matter.
"Pretty much, but our ancestors quit the family on their own. Chen Yi continued: "At that time, after the Chen family expelled a few stubborn disciples, many people who learned other techniques were afraid. Because of the loss of the protection of the Chen family, even if they wanted to learn from others, no one provided them with resources. So they gave up what they had learned now and rededicated themselves to the art of casting.
Our ancestor was also a stubborn man, but his talent was excellent, and the family was reluctant to expel him, and persuaded him many times to give up alchemy and learn to forge again. But our ancestors still didn't listen to the advice, and in the end they were really annoyed by the disturbance, so they quit the family and came to Tieshi City, which is famous for its alchemy, and founded a new Chen family. ”
"I see, this is the origin of our Chen family. Everyone nodded, listening with relish, they didn't know about it until today, but Chen Qi was not very happy, she was not interested in these things at all.
Finally seeing that the head of the family finally finished speaking, she couldn't wait to interject: "Let's stop talking, Mu Feng is here for the first time, don't you keep talking, don't you make people dare not come again?"
Lin Feng smiled: "It's not bad to listen to these past things, I'm fine." ”
"I'm in trouble!" Chen Qi was slightly angry, but as soon as she said this, she realized that she was presumptuous, her big eyes rolled, and she hurriedly changed the topic and said: "I've been back for so long, and I don't know the situation between the fourth uncle and the eldest brother and the second brother, can you go and see them first!"
"Kiki, sit down. Chen Qi's father turned pale and ordered.
Chen Qi's mother also pulled her over and whispered: "Their injuries are all gone, what they need more now is to rest, don't bother them first." ”
"Oh. Chen Qi lowered his head and said in a low voice.
"Kiki is back!" At this moment, a voice came from the courtyard where Chen Xiu was injured, and everyone saw that it was Chen Xiu.
Among several people, he was the most seriously injured, and it was only because of his high realm and strong perseverance that he did not show too serious. At this time, he reluctantly got out of bed and walked over with the support of his subordinates, just to confirm whether Chen Qi was safe and sound.
"Fourth, what are you doing, you are so seriously injured, how can you walk around, you don't go to recuperate well, what if you fall into the root of the disease. The head of the family and Chen Qi's father both blamed him. Although it is to blame, it is actually worried about him.
"Fourth uncle, go back and rest, don't run around. Chen Qi also ran over and said nervously.
Seeing that Chen Qi was fine, Chen Xiu also put his mind at ease, and said in a gentle voice: "Okay, the fourth uncle will go back, and the fourth uncle will come out to see you, as long as you are okay, I will rest assured." ”
"Fourth, don't get used to this girl anymore, you see what this girl is used to by you. Chen Qi's father said displeasedly.
"Alas, third brother, don't say that, this time it was my fault, it was my failure to protect Kiki, and I have to thank the little brother, the little brother saved his life, and it is unforgettable. Chen Xiu thanked Lin Feng solemnly.
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head, indicating that it was a trivial matter.
"Fourth uncle, go back and rest, you don't have to blame yourself, isn't it good for me. Chen Qi said with a smile.
"Fortunately, you're fine, I owe you because of Chen Jing's matter, if something happens to you again, what face do you let the fourth uncle live. Chen Xiu sighed lightly.
As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent for a moment, the surrounding air seemed to be frozen, everyone's faces were a little unnatural, Chen Qi's mother looked sad, Chen Qi and her father had gloomy faces, only Lin Feng was at a loss at this time.
"Well, I shouldn't have mentioned it. Chen Xiu shook his head, and slowly walked back to his courtyard with the support of his subordinates.
Even though Chen Xiu left, the atmosphere in the hall was still very solemn, everyone didn't know how to speak, and no one came to break the deadlock. Chen Qi forced a smile and was about to say something, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by a voice outside the door.
"Kiki, Kiki, are you okay, I heard that you were caught by bandits, are you injured? A voice came from outside the door, it was a man, the voice was a little immature, the person who came should not be very old.
"What is the truth, alas, I am the head of the family who is too sloppy. The head of the house, Chen Yi, put back on the stool and pounded the table with his hand, but he didn't use his aura, otherwise the table wouldn't be able to withstand his strength at all.
The person who spoke ran in, and when he saw Chen Qi, he immediately ran towards her, unscrupulous, completely ignoring the people in the hall, at this time, in his eyes, it seemed that there was only Chen Qi.
The person who came was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy, a little obese, and if he looked good, if he could be thinner, he would be considered dignified.
After the fat man came to Chen Qi, he grabbed Chen Qi's jade hand and asked, "Qiqi, you are not injured, if you are injured, go to my house quickly, my family has a good healing pill." ”
"No need, my Chen family also has healing medicine, and I don't need yours. Chen Qi refused, then shook off the fat man's fat hand, and said with a look of disgust: "Also, don't do anything to me." ”
"What do you mean by moving hands and feet, you and I have a marriage contract, you are my daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door, it is normal for me to hold your hand. The fat man said with a look of course.
"Liu Pengfei, let me warn you, we haven't gotten married yet, don't blame me for being rude to you like this!" Chen Qi said angrily. She really has no way to deal with this shameless person, but she can't tear her face yet, which makes Chen Qi very aggrieved.
She took a few steps back, trying to get away from this scum, and not far behind her, it was Lin Feng who was standing, and she stopped when she retreated a little in front of Lin Feng. Compared to this scum, Lin Feng is really much better.
"Hmph!" Chen Qi's father snorted coldly with a straight face.
It wasn't until this time that the young man named Liu Pengfei noticed that there were so many people around, he smiled awkwardly, and said to Chen Qi's parents: "Uncle, you are also here, I was too worried about Qiqi just now, so I didn't notice the surroundings, I'm sorry, I'll apologize, hehe, I'll apologize." ”
"Hmph!" Chen Qi's mother also snorted coldly, glancing her face to the side, not wanting to see this so-called son-in-law.
"According to the rules, before Chen Qi passes through the door, you really can't interfere with her, and you still hope that Liu Gongzi will be self-respecting. Although Chen Qi's father was displeased, he also said coldly, after all, he didn't stretch out his hand to hit the smiling person.
"Oh, okay, okay, since my uncle said so, then I will follow the rules in the future. Liu Pengfei didn't think about it, and directly agreed.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about Liu Pengfei's attitude, Lin Feng can't find the slightest fault, although his appearance is not handsome, but he is not very ugly, and people who cultivate the Tao should not need to care too much about their appearance.
I don't know why the Chen family dislikes this person, but he doesn't understand the situation, and this matter has nothing to do with him, so he naturally just quietly acts as a spectator.
"Hey, who is this?" Liu Pengfei noticed Lin Feng behind Chen Qi at this time, and he asked suspiciously.
Now the people who can stand here are undoubtedly important figures in the Chen family, and there is no passer-by, but in his impression, the Chen family has never had such a young man.
