Chapter 8: There's still a glimmer of opportunity

"Nature is not enough," Li Xin'er took a sip of tea, elegantly placed it on the stone table, and said with a smile. When she heard this, Chen Xin's footsteps paused and stopped in place, is this Li Xin'er going to test herself?

"Sister Xin'er, you don't have to test him. The girl in white next to Li Xin'er asked,

Li Xin'er shook her head, smiled mockingly, looked at the two of them puzzled, and said: "Sister, there are 100,000 servants and 10,000 disciples in my Li Mansion alone, and there are more than 100 servants in my courtyard alone, and there are thousands of descendants and side branch disciples in the Li Mansion.

This time, the Immortal Cultivation Sect recruited disciples, except for me being an inner disciple, there are only five places in the Li Mansion, all of them are outer disciples, and only I can bring two servants, these two places can be regarded as half of the outer disciples, except for the descendants of the disciples who have strong cultivation resources, the remaining side disciples, or the maid Qinglian who grew up with me, which one doesn't want to go to Qiangongfang with me.

"And Chen Xin, not to mention that he has only been here for a month, he is still a waste person who can't cultivate, first, he has no feelings, and secondly, he has no future, what use do I want him? These tasks are just to embarrass him and make him retreat, even if he doesn't retreat, I will find an excuse to tell my grandfather at that time."

"Sister Xin'er, why don't you explain it directly, if you say it directly, I think that the kid who can't cultivate also has self-knowledge!"

"If I say it directly, it will be a loss of face for my grandfather!"

Chen Xin, who was about to say hello, silently walked out of the Li Mansion through the back door after hearing this, and was disturbed by the words "What do I want him for?" in his mind, disturbed with grief and indignation, and it seemed that a needle was stabbing him in his heart.

"Hahaha, yes, I'm just a waste person who can't cultivate, what use do you want me, what use do you want me. Chen Xin ran all the way to the woods on the outskirts of Luohu City, at this moment, dark clouds shrouded the earth, bean-sized raindrops fell to the ground, drenching Chen Xin's clothes, Chen Xin swung his fist to the trunk of the tree, leaving a trace of blood on his fist, and was washed away by the rain in a blink of an eye.

It can really be described as ups and downs, ups and downs, Chen Xin smiled bitterly, and in an instant, he figured everything out, "If it were anyone, he would be like Li Xin'er, such a proud son of the sky, the stars hold the moon, how could there be people around him who can't cultivate."

Even Cai Lian is also a monk who cultivates the third layer of the Qi Realm, hey, that's it, when this month's period is over, I still follow my grandfather honestly, if I have time, maybe I should go home and take a look. Chen Xin muttered to himself, inadvertently touched the jade pendant hanging around his neck, with some emotion, remembering his deceased relatives, and suddenly paused, "Grandma, Xu family, will this be my last chance?"

He thought about it for a long time under the tree, ready to complete the task arranged by Li Xin'er first, and then go to Xu's house a month later, I don't know if this jade pendant can give him a chance, thirty-four shops, he is going to go to eight of them, five are naturally shops in the cultivation realm, and the other three are three with relatively large scale and better income, and the location is not far away, all of them are small towns next to Luohu City.

And the other five Xiuzhen Realm shops, two of them are in Luohu City, and the other three are in three cities, all of which are adjacent to the sect of Qiangongfang, as for the 100,000 acres of farmland, he also chose among them, a relatively large place, a month's time, no more, no less, just right.

At this moment, there are still some silver taels on his body, although it is not much, but it is enough for himself for a month, Chen Xin grew up from snacks, and he is used to sleeping in the open, he took half of the entanglement to buy dry food, and the remaining half bought a horse: "It seems that this trip can only sleep in the mountains." After everything was ready, he set off overnight, first going to two shops in Liluo Tiger City.

A month has passed in a hurry, and today is the last day of the agreed deadline, and Chen Xin is sitting on a stone outside Luohu City at this moment, gnawing on steamed buns, while taking out a map, the map is marked with more than a dozen red dots, and the marked place is the shop and fertile field that he has surveyed. These dozen or so shops have fertile land, accounting for seventy percent of Li Xin'er's income, and there is no need for him to waste time in other small places.

Although the trip was short, Chen Xin went to study survey as a subordinate of Chen Dong, and he was not squeezed out by the shopkeeper. If everyone knew that he was preparing to be Li Xin'er's housekeeper, this trip might not be so easy.

He looked up at the sun, at this moment, it was past noon, there was still plenty of time, Chen Xin walked to the stream, washed his face, and tidied up the clothes on his body, and the exhaustion was swept away, this month's time, he learned a lot, and also saw a lot of the world, in the Xiuzhen shop, how respectable those monks are, high up, the shopkeepers of each shop have to nod their heads and come out to greet them, and even in the last shop, there is a monk who went directly into the sky after buying the flying sword.

This kind of means made him yearn for it, and the Xu family was the last straw for him to save his life, Chen Xin turned over and got on the horse in a neat posture: "driving" the horse's hooves to fly! It was in the direction of Luohu City, an hour later, on the east side of Luohu City, a magnificent mansion on a par with the Li family, located on the lively street, was the Xu family.

The guards at the door stopped Chen Xin, Chen Xin explained his intentions, and showed his jade pendant, as well as the identity of the Li family's disciples, the guards did not dare to slack off, and led Chen Xin in, the four major families in Luohu City are in the same spirit, and there are often disciples who learn from each other, and disciples often come to visit, and after a while, he was taken to the reception hall by the guards to wait, and after a tea time.

"I heard that there is a kid who is holding the jade pendant of my Xu Mansion disciple? As soon as Chen Xin heard the voice, he saw a big man walking in, this big man was the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion, a monk on the third floor of the foundation realm, and he had gained a lot of knowledge with Chen Dong during this time, and naturally he had seen the portraits of the housekeepers of the four major families. Chen Xin hurriedly got up and saluted respectfully: "I've seen Steward Xu, I'm Chen Xin, a disciple of the Li Mansion, and I have something to come to the door today to ask to see,."

Chen Xin took off the jade pendant from his neck, and explained his intention to Steward Xu, after listening to Steward Xu, he thought for a long time and said: "I have only taken over as a housekeeper for more than ten years, I know that there is a genius Xu Ruyan among the former disciples, but I don't know if it is your grandmother, this matter is very important, I am afraid that I will not be able to be the master, I will ask the head of the family to go, little brother wait."

This housekeeper Xu did not embarrass Chen Xin, and was extremely polite. Making him a little uncomfortable, Steward Xu left after greeting Chen Xin, Chen Xin was also a little apprehensive at this time, he didn't know that his grandmother turned out to be a disciple of the lineage, after so many years, this jade pendant didn't know if it was still useful, and after a long time, the footsteps outside the house came.
