After smiling and entertaining the crowd in Syracuse City that gathered around, Chen Rulie and Fan Zhenshan walked into Chen's mansion together. The two seem to be intimate hand in hand, but they can't hide Fan Zhenshan's clenched fists under his sleeves and Chen Rulie's slightly frowning brows.

After entering the mansion, Chen Rulie took Fan Zhenshan to the reception hall, and the real apology began now. The shopkeepers and bookkeepers of the shops under the name of the Chen family, who came to the side hall of the hall early, brought their own account books and maps of the distribution of shops in the city and various mineral resources outside the city to wait for the Fan family to hand over the benefits.

If it was just a verbal apology and a simple bow, why did Fan Xiaoran promise to apologize in front of the four families in Syracuse, in the final analysis, it was because he could exchange Ding Qiuyuan's forgiveness by handing over the existing interests in his hands, after all, he couldn't help Ding Qiuyuan, and he was even less defeated by the so-called "Old Monster Chen".

Chen Fan's two families were in contact with each other in the main hall, and there was a sound of writing in the side hall, and Chen Fan and his family exchanged specific situations about the current situation of the shops in the market. A fierce quarrel ensued, and the two sides fought over each other. One side wants to expand the results of the battle and collect more benefits, while the other side tightens the front and refuses to give up its own pillar industry.

After half a day, you and I saliva flew back and forth, and the two parties finally reached an exchange plan that was basically satisfactory. The two distinct teams came from the side hall to the main hall, and each handed over the plan to their own masters. Chen Rulie glanced at it briefly, smiled slightly, closed it, put it in his hand, picked up the tea cup next to him, blew it lightly, and drank it a few times. Fan Zhenshan flipped through a few more pages, frowned slightly, took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Chen Rulie, and said, "Brother Rulie, what do you think of this?"

"Brother Zhenshan laughed, these resources and shops, my Chen family only takes half of them. ”

"What does that mean?"

"Literally, of course, as for the rest, it will be returned to the nobles in five to ten years. ”

Fan Zhenshan hurriedly stood up and bowed his hand, and said, "Thank you, Brother Rulie, raise your noble hand." ”

Chen Rulie accepted this salute calmly, motioned to Fan Zhenshan to sit down with his right hand, and gently pushed another piece of fragrant tea in his hand to Fan Zhenshan's side and said: "Brother Zhenshan, taste this drinking spring dew, this is what I asked someone to buy from the south of the mountain drinking spring residence, and you are the first one to have a good mouth within the four families." ”

Fan Zhenshan looked down at the tea, and after looking at Chen Rulie, he didn't know what medicine was sold in Chen Rulie's gourd, but he thought that it was impossible for the Chen family to poison and endanger himself, so he also picked up the tea cup. In the green tea water between them, there are still verdant tea leaves, each of which is still wrapped in a layer of white water droplet-like liquid. He gently scraped the water surface with his right hand and took a deep sip of the aroma of tea, and then took a shallow sip, the water gently passed through the tip of the tongue and throat, and the light tea exuded a lot of aura, making Fan Zhenshan's whole body and mind comfortable.

Fan Zhenshan closed his eyes and carefully tasted it, and replied with some satisfaction: "Brother Rulie will indeed enjoy it, this spiritual tea is full of spiritual energy, and a light sip will make my stuffy chest feel a little more comfortable." ”

"Haha, it's good if my brother likes it, wait a minute, I'll order someone to wrap some and bring some to Fan Laozu, which is considered the filial piety of the younger generation. ”

"Then I'd be respectful and obey. Fan Zhenshan drank the tea and laughed.

"It's easy to say," Chen Rulie replied by tapping his fingers on the armrest of the seat and looking up at the roof.

"Can the elder brother tell the younger brother, why don't you want these assets that the Chen family deserves?" Fan Zhenshan took the initiative to ask when he saw that the conversation was a little cold after four minutes.

"I don't know what the Zhenshan brothers have thought about the north in recent years?" Chen Rulie asked rhetorically.

"Opinion?" Fan Zhenshan frowned, thought for a moment, and stretched his brows: "I also have some opinions." The fierce and orcs in the north have long been ambitious to go south, but a few moats like Xueyin Mountain have blocked it, so the war has not burned too much to us. Fan Zhenshan moved his body, picked a comfortable position and leaned back on the chair and continued: "I heard that Shuofeng City, which is thousands of miles to the west, was broken last year and was ruthlessly looted by murderers. ”

"The Zhenshan brothers are well-informed and can see the situation thoroughly. But there is one thing, brother, you may not know, the murderers frequently go south to plunder, it seems that something happened further north, of course, the specific things are not very clear for brothers, but you and I may not be very peaceful in the future with Syracuse. ”

"Brother Rulie is talking ......," Fan Zhenshan replied suspiciously.

"Hehe, Brother Wei didn't say anything, just talked to you about the situation. But it's still the same sentence, the four families in Syracuse are one family, and the four of us are in the pool of Syracuse, and you come and go, which is after all a matter of our own brothers. But if it is an external force, what the four families say also needs to stand on the same front, do you say yes? ”

Fan Zhenshan was stunned for a moment after listening to Chen Rulie's words, nodded and said, "As Brother Lie said, my vision was still narrow before. ”

"Now that my brother understands what I mean, these assets are like what I just said, half of them will be returned, and the remaining half will be returned in a few years. As you know, our two families had a very unpleasant quarrel two days ago, and if I don't show something as the head of the family, the people below will also be prone to make trouble. ”

"These assets were originally handed over to the Chen family by the ancestors, and now Brother Rulie can return half of them to the benevolent and righteous, where does the younger brother still have any complaints, in my opinion, the remaining half can not be returned. Fan Zhenshan emphasized, seeing that Chen Rulie wanted to continue talking, and hurriedly said: "There is no need to persuade again, the Chen family's concessions have already given the Fan family a respite, and no matter how humble it is, it will only make my Fan family embarrassed." ”

Chen Rulie thought about it and said in a deep voice: "Okay, just according to what you say." ”

"Thank you!"

The two continued to discuss with each other for more than half an hour, Fan Zhenshan took the lead in standing up and saluting Chen Rulie, saying that he needed to go back to his house to return to his ancestors, and tomorrow he would follow Fan Laozu to invite Ding Qiuyuan's master and apprentice to Fan's house as guests.

Chen Rulie led the Chen family veteran Fan Zhenshan and his party to the gate of the Chen Mansion, and after boarding the carriage, the commander in front of the Fan family's convoy waved his whip, and the horse that the man was riding stood up and neighed and left from the end of the road in an orderly manner.

The elders of the Chen family left to go back to their own affairs, and Chen Rulie brought some elixir spirit stones to visit Yueqing in person.

Yueqing received a slap from the ancestor of the Fan family, but fortunately, Fan Xiaoran was not ruthless for the old disrespect, and Yueqing only needed to recuperate for three or two months to recover.

Yueqing, who needed the support of the attendants on the sickbed to do it, looked at Chen Rulie, and smiled helplessly: "The head of the family is smiling, and Yueqing can't get up and salute." ”

"Why did Mr. Le say this, it wasn't that Mr. dragged the Fan family and bought time for me and Senior Ding, the Chen family is going to suffer a lot of losses today, and I haven't had time for Mr. Xie yet. Chen Rulie pulled away the attendant who was now beside the bed, personally helped Yueqing, and on the other hand, beckoned his subordinates to bring in the tonic elixir.

Seeing Chen Rulie taking care of himself regardless of his identity, Yueqing was also very moved, and there was a way to die as a confidant.

On this side, Chen Rulie visited Yueqing, and on the other side, Ding Qiuyuan and Fang Ling exchanged cultivation experience while having a drink, and the rest of their lives were worry-free to meditate and cultivate in their own courtyard. Ding Qiuyuan said that he cultivated too late, he could only cultivate diligently all the time, coupled with the skyrocketing increase in cultivation in the past half a month, it had already made him feel some unspeakable unhappiness in his body.

This is not surprising, the rapid improvement of cultivation, even if the quality of the divine mind and body can keep up, but it is inevitable that there will be a situation of inadaptability, and the flexibility and mobility will be a little delayed. As long as you can adapt quickly, these problems will be solved over time.

Since Fan Xiaoran left the Chen family, he has been sitting in a circle for a whole day, although now he is still unable to do inward vision in the Qi Induction Period, but with the help of Jin Yan Cicada's Nian Jing, his Divine Mind is not weaker than that of a monk in the Mortal Stage, and he can naturally visit the more and more spiritual energy rain clouds in the Dao Dantian.

The dantian space is Sumeru mustard seeds, that is, infinitely large and infinitely small, but layer after layer of rain clouds shrouded, the pressure of the entire dantian is very great, when the pressure is enough, the mana raindrops fall at the bottom of the dantian, it is the time for fate to start to break through the mortal period.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already the middle of the moon, and the weather was sunny today, but the cold night sky in the north was still covered with a thin layer of mist, making the brilliance of the crescent moon hazy.

When he looked up, his master Ding Qiuyuan had already finished his old relationship with Fang Ling, and was alone carrying a wine gourd and leaning on the eaves of the attic of the other courtyard.

Ding Qiuyuan, who found that his life was free and woke up from his meditation, beckoned, and his life was free to fly onto the roof in a flutter.

Under the night, there was still a little snow on the tiles on the roof, and it was even frozen, looking at the trembling and cautious walking towards his life, Ding Qiu was far from having a happy reason.

The master and apprentice didn't speak at first, Ding Qiuyuan took a sip of wine, and picked a small piece of ice and snow to continue to meditate with his eyes closed.

For Ding Qiuyuan, he enjoyed this kind of master-apprentice relationship similar to the joy of family. For Wuxian Life, cultivating near the master is the safest, but he didn't realize that this was actually a manifestation that he now recognized Ding Qiuyuan from the bottom of his heart and relied on Ding Qiuyuan from the bottom of his heart.

The long night was about to pass, and when the first rays of bronzing light appeared in the east, a faint light stopped on the cornices opposite Ding Qiuyuan.

The light shook for a while, and after being idle, the figures of Fan Xiaoran and Fan Zhenshan appeared.

"The two of you are really on time, it's better to wait a while, my disciple is about to finish his work, and I'm not in a hurry for this meeting. Ding Qiuyuan shook the wine jug in his hand and said.

"Of course, everything is up to the master. Fan Xiaoran nodded. Fan Zhenshan is led by the opinions of his ancestors, and naturally he has no opinions.

The rising sunlight scattered from the east swept over the snow-capped mountains in the distance, reflecting layers of brilliant golden light, flying towards Syracuse. Shining on the four people on the roof, only the life of the person sitting cross-legged on the east side was shrouded in golden light.

The sleeves of the life are worry-free, the golden-red mana runs on its own, and the golden light of the great sun and the golden-red mana light complement each other, becoming a scenery in Syracuse that people will never forget.

Slowly opening his eyes, he let out a long howl, his body and mind were comfortable, Ding Qiuyuan tilted his head and said, "Okay, then let's go." ”
