"Yun Ting, haven't you come back yet?" asked the old man softly as he sat on the chaise longue, his thin hands casually placed in front of his abdomen.

"Back to the ancestors, the head of the family sent back the news a few days ago that he had found the traces of the emperor, and in time, he would be able to solve the original mystery. The black-shirted young man standing on the side leaned over and said.

"Still can't let go......" The old man slowly closed his eyes, raised his head and sighed, "Isn't it, even for my birthday, he doesn't plan to come?"

"This ......," the young man hesitated slightly, "I want to come to the head of the house with his own plans." ”

"Xiao Yi, in the future, don't be like your second grandfather. The old man on the recliner, who was once a second-grade peak powerhouse, still had black hair, but his expression was extremely gloomy.

Chen Yi fell to his knees, not daring to reply. His second grandfather is the current head of the family, Chen Yunting.

......

Even though Mu Qianqian was reluctant to do so, the days still came to this day.

Xiaoxiao grinned and helped her get dressed, and handed over a rather modest purple box.

"Requiem?" Mu Qianqian was dressed in a light blue dress, and the silver-white long sword on her waist was already equipped with a scabbard of the same color, which looked luxurious and elegant, and she took the wooden box casually, and suddenly felt a sinking in her hand, "What is this?"

"Phantom Butterfly Fragrance!" Mu Xiaoxiao snapped her fingers and stepped forward, "Don't be reluctant, we are going to make allies, so we have to show our sincerity." ”

The corners of Qianqian's mouth twitched fiercely, the so-called phantom butterfly incense is based on the ancient recipe obtained by King Mu in the ancient ruins when he was young, according to different dosages, it has all kinds of miraculous effects, and only King Mu himself knows the configuration method.

Before King Mu left, he left more than 100 roots, and over the years, nearly half of the inventory has been used up in the interior of the house, and the box in his hand, to say the least, has ten roots.

"It's good to bring more, and if you turn your face, you can order them all and serve them in one pot. The little fox's lazy thought came to her, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes widely. I thought this fox could endure it all the time.

The Chen Family Manor is located in the suburbs on the north side of Cangyun City, which is not too far away.

When Mu Qianqian arrived with two guards, the Zhuangzi, which was not noisy in the past, was already full of people.

"Miss Mu, let me wait. Chen Ming's eyes lit up when he saw several people, and he stepped forward and waved.

Qianqian's etiquette outside has always been in place, hung up her signature smile, and replied: "It is an honor for Qianqian to be personally received by Chen Gongzi." ”

The little fox lay in Qianqian's arms and yawned, how can you never get tired of this kind of conversation without nutrition?

In the Twilight Yuan Empire, there were only five people who were crowned kings, guarding the natural dangers and frontiers for the royal family.

Eight years ago, King Mu resigned, and King Mu's Mansion became the only palace without a fief.

As the news of King Mu's long-term non-return gradually fermented, the fat of King Mu's Mansion aroused the ambitions of many people. Although no one has dared to make any moves yet, judging from the lukewarm attitude of each family, it has become a top priority to find an ally with no obvious conflict of interest and a high degree of adequacy - judging from Xiaoxiao's analysis, the Chen family, who are also in Cangyun City, is a very good choice.

Suddenly, the little fox stood up and looked at the silver-white frame that was gradually driving in the distance, and his ears moved slightly.

"It's Yuanzong's people. Su Meng said.

"Yuanzong, what are they doing here?" Qianqian frowned, what a behemoth Yuanzong was? That was one of the sects established by the immortals at the beginning, the absolute ruler of the world, and the word "Yuan" in the Dusk Yuan Empire was referring to Yuanzong. The Chen family said that it was not small, but compared with Yuanzong, it was a little too small.

"For the sake of this sword on you, of course. The little fox changed his position and lay down comfortably, no expression could be seen on his furry face, but Qianqian always felt that she heard a kind of schadenfreude.

"They don't know this sword?" The little girl knew the fox too well, and she could laugh that it was definitely not a big problem, and she relaxed when she saw him so happy, "Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

Su Meng was helpless, shrugged his shoulders, this child has grown up, has become boring, has no sense of humor at all, and replied stupidly: "Of course there is no problem, how can you have an accident as a teacher." ”

Qianqian grinned lightly, and after giving the gift, she went to the main banquet with Chen Ming, but she unceremoniously pinched the fox and ravaged it fiercely, until Su Meng rolled her eyes vigorously at her, and then smiled wryly and stopped her evil deeds.

On the day of the birthday, there is absolutely no habit of opening gifts in front of guests. The stakes between the families will not be mere formalities or superficialities.

Xiaoxiao specially talked to her a few days ago, and it doesn't take too many words to deal with the relationship with the Chen family, too deliberate, and Mu Qianqian, who is the eldest daughter of the palace, personally came to the door to give a generous gift, which is enough to plant a seed in the hearts of the two families. When it really comes time to cooperate, it will come naturally.

And how fragile empty words like alliances are in the face of interests, she knows better than anyone.

The head of the Chen family is outside, and the ancestor Chen Xiao has not yet come forward, only a white-haired old man in high spirits is wearing a moire green shirt, chatting and laughing with the guests. Chen Sang, as the chief steward, was standing behind him.

Probably this is Chen Yunmo, the third master of the Chen family, right? The rumored person who fell under the forbidden spell of time and did not die. Su Meng leaned on Qianqian's arms, his face was harmless to humans and animals, and he secretly compared the characters in front of him with the information in Mu Mansion.

Mu Qianqian, as the nominal principal of Mu Mansion, has dealt with several families in Cangyun City, and with the low-key style of the Chen family, there will not be many visitors from afar, everyone praises each other, blows, and the scene is unbelievably harmonious.

Chen Ming, who has always been known for his coldness to the outside world, actually joined in this time, and his unsmiling face brought a hint of redness, and all the elders put on the expressions of the people who came over, and almost wrote the word "clear" on his face, so that Chen Ming couldn't hold on for a while, saying that the ancestor had something to inquire about and fled in embarrassment. Not surprisingly, it caused another round of laughter.

"Alas, young people now......" Qianqian helplessly touched the little fox in her arms and muttered softly.

Su Meng gave her two big white eyes, as if she was no longer young, and she was a fifteen-year-old girl after all.

Before I came, I was afraid of embarrassment, afraid that he would ask to see Mu Xiaoxiao or something, but if I really met it, it was just that. Qianqian sighed, and her bright pretty face hung up her signature smile again, only feeling a burst of relaxation, but she didn't notice that the little fox that jumped on her shoulder had lost weight......

Su Meng often said that Qianqian is a rabbit that does not sit in the nest and cannot be idle, but as a master, he is even more so at this point, although he never admits it.

"Chen Xiao didn't show up, just to receive the person from Yuanzong. The little fox jumped up to the roof, turned into a young man in white, and gently untied the plain white ribbon, revealing his strange silver-white eyes, looking at the surrounding buildings.

Everyone in the hall suddenly felt a chill for no reason, but they couldn't find anything abnormal, only that it was their own illusion, and they didn't care, only Mu Qianqian, who realized that the master was gone, rolled her eyes widely, silently pinched a sweat for him, and couldn't help but consider the feasibility of the little fox's words before.

......

At this time, in the study, the old man in green shirt sat on a recliner and sipped tea, his face was full of red light, and he smiled. The woman in the goose yellow dress in front of her looked no more than twenty, her long hair was hanging down, and her face was quite delicate, but she was such a soft and weak girl, but she seemed to be unrestrained in the face of this former second-grade powerhouse, her face was full of helplessness, as if she was explaining something.

Su Miao's undisguised intrusion obviously broke the harmony, and he didn't feel embarrassed, he dodged and sat on an empty chair, poured himself a cup of tea, looked at the two people in front of him with interest, raised his glass and smiled: "Meeting is fate, I don't know if I am lucky enough to have a cup of tea?"
