Although she was a little curious and uneasy, Xia Lin only hesitated slightly, and still followed Chu Dian to the study.

Old Man Chu's study is not something that anyone can enter, at least although she has not been in the Chu family for a long time, it has been more than two months in total, and this is the first time she has come in.

On the surface, the old man's study didn't seem to be much different from the study in Charlene's memory.

On the left and right sides of the study are bookshelves made of Tienan wood, which are filled with all kinds of paper books, and in the front position, that is, behind the desk, is a small Bogu shelf, on which there are not many antiques, but everything seems to be a fine antique.

The only difference is that the bookshelf on the left is full of books published in this era, as well as some paper documents. Because after all, there have been thousands of years of changes in the times, coupled with the cultural fault line of the Great Nirvana era, the writing of this era has changed in some unused words or new words.

On the bookshelf on the right, Charlene only needs to see at a glance that the bookshelf that looks about the same size as the bookshelf on the left, and even the bookshelf with more dense books are all books from her own era.

That is, the ancient books of this era, even the only ones. After all, even if it is a mass-produced printed book, there are not many that can be preserved for thousands of years.

I saw Charlene's gaze fall on the bookshelf on the right, but her eyes were not the appearance of ordinary people when they saw so many ancient books for the first time, but in addition to surprise, it was more of a ...... Calm? Chu Qinglan was slightly surprised.

However, I thought of what Elder Huangfu said, some secrets of Xia Lin and Chu Ci. He immediately calmed down.

Also, it's a person who came thousands of years ago, even if it's the same as Ah Chena's child, he doesn't completely retain the memories of his previous life, but he can't be amazed at these things.

But when will this kid regain his memory?

The meaning of inquiry in Chu Qinglan's eyes, Xia Lin was not unaware of it. It's just that he is still a little unclear about Chu Qinglan's purpose for suddenly calling himself and Chu Dian here. Therefore, Charlene could only pretend to be innocent and look back at the past.

"Linlin's exam has ended, what are your plans for the next month?" Look at Charlene's eyes pretending to be innocent. Chu Qinglan smiled and retracted her gaze and asked.

Charlene blinked and looked at Chu Qinglan opposite. "Intended?"

Does she have a choice?

"Hehe......" Seeing Xia Lin looking at Chu Dian with slanted eyes, Chu Qinglan smiled gently. Yes, although the beast tide is approaching. To be on the safe side during this time, you'd better not leave Mingyang City. But since you have a holiday, you don't have to stay at home all the time. ”

Regarding the "home" in Chu Qinglan's mouth, Xia Lin blinked and was silent.

"When will Chu Ci come back?" She remembered what Chu Dian said. He had already asked Chu Ci and the others to come back and take her "lucky mascot" away, didn't he?

Although, Charlene didn't feel like she had this ability at all.

If there is, at all. She had already successfully escaped from home, how could she be arrested again?! And. also encountered Chu Ci's big trouble?

"Linlin misses that kid?" When Chu Qinglan heard this, she laughed a little.

Charlene's face turned black inexplicably, she really didn't know that she was treated so gently by the old man in front of her who used to be in the Federation, even if she mentioned it now, it was also a change of color, should she be honored or mourn for herself?

"Chu Dian said, let me follow Chu Ci to the dungeon." There didn't seem to be any intention to help Chu Dian cover up, and Charlene threw the words out directly.

Originally, this matter was not voluntary, so why did she have to help this guy cover up?

Hearing this, Chu Qinglan's expression looked at Chu Dian with a somewhat strange expression.

Chu Dian glanced at Xia Lin, but he was not angry, but smiled. "Grandpa, don't you think it's safer than staying in the current Mingyang City and waiting for the beast tide that may come at any time, and letting Linlin follow Ah Ci to the dungeon?"

Moreover, it can also save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Chu Qinglan easily understood what her grandson meant, but hesitated for a while before nodding. "But Ah Ci and they are still underground, and the situation is unknown, so they rashly sent this child down......"

The corners of Charlene's mouth twitched.

Why did she have the sense that she was going to hell or prison for an adventure?

However, can that kind of place underground be safer than the current Mingyang City or even the Chu family?

Thinking of the last time Chu Ci accidentally encountered a sneak attack, and even didn't know what it was and what abilities he used, Xia Lin's face became even more ugly.

What kind of danger does this Mingyang City have to become, so that it can be more terrifying than a dungeon?

"Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with you, too." I don't know if I saw Xia Lin's doubts, or if I was afraid that Xia Lin wouldn't believe it, Chu Dian simply told Xia Lin part of the matter after getting the old man's instructions, "Lin Lin should still remember your uncle who has a connection with someone in the Interstellar Alliance, right?" ”

"Xia Zhenqi?" Charlene glanced at Chu Dian. "He's just my former titular uncle."

Her father's real brother is only Xia Zhentian.

And now that both she and Xia Zhenqi have left the Xia family, where did the uncle come from?

She only has one cheap "uncle", whose name is Qi Tianze, okay?

Someone Lying Innocently with a Gun: ......

Regarding Xia Lin's indifference to Xia Zhenqi, Chu Dian still just looked like a smile, looking at Xia Lin with a good temper, but the old man Chu Qinglan frowned slightly.

This child's personality is inevitably too cold.

"The people of the Interstellar Alliance plan to take advantage of this beast tide to launch an attack on the earth." Chu Dian didn't seem to be affected by Xia Lin's interruption at all, and continued to speak, "And the first one to bear the brunt is Mingyang City. ”

Charlene blinked, raised her hand and touched her chin, her face contemplative.

Therefore, the reason why Xia Zhenqi ran from Panyu City to Mingyang City was not accidental?

She was still puzzled that day, obviously hearing that Yangcheng was a place that ordinary people couldn't enter at all, how could her uncle, who was obviously supposed to be down-and-out, not only be able to take it with him in Mingyang City, but also have the courage and ability to wait for him at the school gate every day?

She thought that Xu Shuoyang had lied to herself!

After all, even if it's the capital, it's not necessarily strict enough to be so strict, right? It's a cultural center for economic politics.

"It seems that among you so-called real nobles, there are still quite a lot of moths." Charlene scratched her chin, wondering if she thought of some past events from her time, and the smile on her face was a little mocking and sarcastic.

"Not what we call aristocracy." Chu Dian raised a finger and shook it gently, "It's the so-called real nobles of the self-styled Nine Great Families." ”

The families of those who think that their family background is deep enough and that their family prosperity far exceeds that of the Nine Hermit Families is just a group of people whose abilities have gradually degenerated, and most of them have to rely on the Ability Gene Catalyst and Ability Gene Stabilizing Agent to maintain the number and quality of the family's children.

Otherwise, it would not have degenerated to the point of colluding with the garbage of the Interstellar Alliance.

Regarding Chu Dian's explanation, Xia Lin pursed her lips and showed a somewhat disapproving smile, but unceremoniously interrupted the other party's words. "I'm just a student in the junior class, and I don't understand these political things."

Also, I don't want to understand it at all.

Chu Qinglan was not reluctant, but nodded without changing her face, "So, you prepare for the next two days, and I will send someone to send you to Ah Ci early the day after tomorrow." ”

Xia Lin was silent for a while, then tilted her head slightly and looked at Chu Dian. "Chu Ci is in trouble again, right?"

Otherwise, this guy wouldn't have been in a hurry to send himself over.

Even if there is something about the interstellar alliance coming, it is impossible.

After all, if the Chu family is really fragile enough that they can't even protect such a small role as themselves, then their status in the federal military is just a joke.

Although Charlene likes to pretend to be confused, and most of the time her mind is not deep enough, she does not think she is stupid.

Chu Dian: ......

Seeing that the other party didn't want to speak, Charlene smiled brightly. "I'm just asking casually, don't take it to heart, after all, you and grandpa don't have good expressions before the meal."

Especially when she mentioned Chu Ci, it was even more bad.

That's why she believes she's absolutely not wrong.

Chu Dian: ......

Girl, it's really nice that you're so smart all of a sudden?

On the contrary, it was the old man Chu Qinglan, when he heard Xia Lin say this, his expression was a little hesitant, "Forget it, if Linlin doesn't want to go......"

"Grandpa, don't worry, I'm voluntary." Xia Lin smiled and shook her head, "Although I am not a person who is overflowing with love, and I can't agree with Chu Ci's actions in some things, but Chu Ci helped me leave the Xia family, and even allowed me to go to school in Mingyang Academy and live in the Chu family, this kindness is not fake." ”

"Although my ability is not very high, and the ability level is not high, I may only be a laggard when I get to the dungeon, but since you are willing to believe me, I will do my best to help him within the scope of my ability."

After all, no one likes to be treated like a waste and a drag, does it?

And......

Thinking of the last experience in the dungeon, Charlene's eyes were a little complicated.

No matter what Chu Ci thinks, she is really grateful to this man.

After all, this is the first person other than someone who makes her love and hate really put her in her heart.

Although, the location doesn't necessarily matter, maybe it's just a little uneasy. (To be continued) R466
