Under the leadership of the maidservant, Chen Xiuyuan went out and turned around a few pavilions and rockeries, and soon came to a somewhat simple and quiet and neatly decorated courtyard, and finally stopped in front of a quiet and elegant room.

"Knock knock. ”

"The eldest prince, Chen Gongzi has already come. The maidservant said respectfully to the door.

"Come in. A majestic voice came.

The maidservant gently pushed open the door and stretched out her hand to signal Chen Xiuyuan to go in, Chen Xiuyuan smiled and walked in.

"Xiaolian, you go down first. Shang Longyun waved his hand at the maidservant and told her to step back.

"Yes, eldest son. ”

As soon as Chen Xiuyuan came in, he was attracted by a pair of calligraphy on the wall in the study, and on the white wall, there was a pair of jade and gold inlaid calligraphy, and several heroic characters on the calligraphy were imprinted into Chen Xiuyuan's eyes with full impact.

"Heaven and earth are summer, I am the only one!"

"It's so domineering!" Chen Xiuyuan felt Ling Ran in his heart, judging from the momentum of this character, it was definitely not something that Shang Longyun, a person whose strength was less than the heaven-level, could write it, in addition to the domineering spirit of the heaven and the earth, it also faintly revealed the strong strength of the owner who wrote this character.

"This is definitely something that can only be written by the strength of the peak of the heaven-level level, daring to compete with the sky. What a pride!"

After Chen Xiuyuan sat down, Shang Longyun saw Chen Xiuyuan's eyes gathered on the calligraphy on the wall, and asked with some pride in his tone: "Chen Shaoxia......"

"You might as well call me by my name. ”

"Oh, then I'll call you Xiuyuan. Xiuyuan, what do you think of the words on my wall!"

"Huh?"

Chen Xiuyuan glanced at Shang Longyun sideways, and then looked at the words on the wall, the wall was clean and clean, and there was nothing else except a pair of words. But just this pair of characters gives people the feeling that it has filled the whole heart, as if the whole room is filled with this pair of words, and the soul is also attracted by the atmosphere and artistic conception formed by these eight words, as if it is caught in a whirlpool-like feeling, but Chen Xiuyuan's trick of devouring the starry sky is more powerful than that, and he quickly recovered.

"Good word! It just seems to be a wrong two words, right?" Chen Xiuyuan asked a little tentatively.

"No, there is no typo. Shang Longyun said in a firm and serious tone. "Actually, you should also see that this heaven is still summer in the summer, referring to our Shang family and the Xia family. Many people compare the Xia family with the Shang family, where are their ways, the Xia family is not worth mentioning in the eyes of my Shang family. If it weren't for the fact that his Xia family had mastered the mystical method of refining spiritual weapons, they would not have such a high status. ”

"Hiss......" Chen Xiuyuan gasped in his heart, "This Shang Longyun is so arrogant, he dares to say such a thing, if he lets the people of the Xia family know, he will definitely not give up with the Shang family." The most important thing in the family is a matter of face, it is also a thousand-year-old family, and it is so belittled by the other party, how can this breath be swallowed. ”

"What do you mean by this?" Chen Xiuyuan's face changed slightly, and he faintly thought of a possibility in his heart, could it be that this Shang family wanted to annex the Xia family!

"Xiuyuan, you are a smart person, and a smart person should know how to know the times as a handsome. It's a shame to be in the Dragon Soul with your talent. I don't think it's better to come to my Shang family, our Shang family has all kinds of elixirs to help you enhance your cultivation and save your life and heal your wounds. Hmph, even you can easily get the best weapons specially refined by the Xia family. ”

Shang Longyun's words were full of temptation, but Chen Xiuyuan was not excited at all, "Eldest Prince, you are also a master at the peak of the prefecture level, you should know that your own cultivation needs to be cultivated step by step to become a real master, if you rely on the elixir alone to improve, you will only become a mediocre person." In Dragon Soul, I think that on the one hand, there can be a lot of opportunities for training, and it can defend the country and protect the name of the country, which is very helpful for the cultivation of the state of mind. ”

"Defend the country Xiuyuan, do you know how strong the real enemy of our country is, although I don't care very much about those who are really strong, but with your current strength, you can't get a big effect at all. There are drawbacks to using elixir to improve your cultivation, and that's just for ordinary people, are you Chen Xiuyuan an ordinary person! In my opinion, you don't lack the realm now, what you lack is only enough spiritual power to improve your cultivation, otherwise, your true strength will be greatly limited. Shang Longyun's words were sincere, and his intention to win over Chen Xiuyuan was already obvious.

Chen Xiuyuan didn't want to mention this matter to him for the time being, so he deliberately changed the topic and asked at the painting: "I don't know which master's handwriting this painting is?"

Shang Longyun saw that Chen Xiu avoided talking about it, and he no longer forced it, he knew that some people were like this, their character determined that they were far superior to ordinary people in some aspects, because they had principles, once they violated their own principles, the martial artist's state of mind would be damaged, and the Dao heart would be unstable, which would produce the so-called inner demons, which would affect cultivation, and the Shang family would have a lot of spiritual warriors with good potential, although they also made rapid progress later, but none of them could really become strong.

"It's none other than my father who wrote these words!" Shang Longyun was a little proud.

"Oh, the head of the Shang family?" Chen Xiuyuan suddenly remembered a question, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "I don't know if the head of the family is now long, I think the eldest son should be in his forties, why hasn't he inherited the position of head of the family yet?"

Chen Xiuyuan's words didn't mean anything else, they just raised the question in his heart, Shang Longyun was slightly embarrassed when he heard it, and he muttered for a long time before slowly replying: "My father is now sixty and nine, and next year will be his old man's seventieth birthday." Speaking of the position of the head of this family, it is also a piece of my heart. My Shang family chooses the position of head of the family, in addition to looking at whether it is descendant, it is more important to look at the strength. ”

"Strength?"

"Yes, strength. Everyone who inherits the position of the head of the family must have a minimum strength of the heaven-level!"

"What? Heaven level!" Rao is Chen Xiuyuan couldn't help but be a little surprised, a heaven-level powerhouse could completely establish a family by himself, which was equivalent to a master of the Yuan Infant Stage.

However, soon Chen Xiuyuan understood the reason, the Shang family is the title of the family with pills, many people want to have a relationship with the Shang family, and there are also many ambitious people who covet the wealth of the Shang family, if the Shang family's strength is not strong enough, once it is maliciously attacked by some forces, as the head of the family, even if there are many masters to protect it, there are times when they are in danger, if they are killed or captured, it is simply a shame for the Shang family. That's why the Shang family set such a rule.

"Is it because you haven't become a heaven that you won't be allowed to inherit the position of the head of the family?"

"Then what's the way, once you get to that position, you have to have the support of all the elders to really take power, otherwise, what's the difference between sitting and not sitting!" Shang Longyun said a little dejectedly.

"Hehe, the eldest prince doesn't have to be so depressed, maybe one day you will suddenly break through the peace and reach the heavenly level. ”

"Alas, among the three of our brothers, my second brother Long Sheng and I are not very talented, and only the third brother Long Xiong has excellent talent, and he is obsessed with martial arts, and his strength is the strongest of the three of us, unlike the two of us who have reached the current cultivation by taking a large number of pills, he has reached the peak of the ground level completely by his own efforts, and he is only thirty-eight years old now, and he was in retreat a year ago, maybe he will be able to break through to the heaven level that day. It's a pity, just because he is too obsessed with martial arts, he is still unmarried and has no heirs, even if he becomes a heaven-level powerhouse with his temperament, I am afraid he will not agree to his father's request to serve as the head of the family. ”

"Ryuo?" (Breast Augmentation)

"Well, what's the matter, do you know my third brother. Shang Longyun looked at Chen Xiuyuan with some doubts, not knowing what he was surprised about.

"Oh, nothing. Chen Xiuyuan secretly despised his impure thoughts, "I just thought, if the third prince is allowed to hold the position of the family, won't the person who will really be in charge of the deacon at that time will still be the eldest prince." ”

"If that's the case, that's fine. Not long ago, my father suddenly decided to select people from the "Wen" character generation who have become heaven-level powerhouses to focus on training. Wenchang's talent is average, and I don't know what the potential of Long Sheng's son is, but there are a few side lines that have some potential at that time. Shang Longyun's eyes were faintly worried, he obviously didn't want the position of the head of the family to fall into the hands of the side family, so that the interests of the direct family would be greatly damaged.

"Hehe, the eldest prince is too worried, Shang Wenqiang will give you a surprise. Chen Xiuyuan didn't know Shang Longyun's coy attitude, he definitely didn't want Shang Wenqiang to win the position of the head of the family, what he wanted most was to be in charge alone, but he didn't have the strength himself, so he could only increase his bargaining chips by attracting strong people with enough weight.

If Shang Longyun can get the help of a heaven-level peak powerhouse like Long Zun, Li Yang, Qin Yu, or Xie Wendong, then no one will dare to have any objection to him becoming the head of the Shang family, even if it is the current head of the Shang family, he is happy to have a better relationship with these powerhouses.

"Wen Qiang?" Shang Longyun heard Chen Xiuyuan mention Shang Wenqiang, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and immediately asked: "Xiuyuan, there are some things, I take the liberty to say it, I hope you can think about what I just proposed." I have read your information, I know the contradiction between you and Wen Qiang, this kid is really too much for him, he actually bullied the weak, when the time comes, I will definitely show the head of the family and deal with him with family law. But what the hell is going on when you said he was going to surprise me?"

It seems that Shang Longyun has investigated a lot of Chen Xiuyuan's information, but he is not very clear about Chen Xiuyuan's release in Jiangcheng, especially the fight between himself and Shang Wenqiang, he doesn't know at all.

"Hmph. Shang Wenqiang killed my mother, and finally wanted to kill me too, fortunately, I had some strength at that time, and at the same time I happened to run into Li Hao and Brother Yuanye, otherwise. Hum. Shang Wenqiang's strength has already reached the high level of the prefecture!" Chen Xiuyuan's face was gloomy, his voice contained anger that seemed to have gathered for thousands of years, but the silence contained infinite power, and the soul coercion and murderous aura that Chen Xiuyuan unconsciously exuded made Shang Longyun a little frightened.

At the same time, Shang Longyun was also happy in his heart, he didn't expect Chen Xiuyuan's hatred for Shang Wenqiang to be so great, and it was just right for him. On the surface, the brothers are very harmonious, but in fact, secretly they all regard each other as thorns in the flesh, even if Shang Longsheng left the family before.

But then Shang Longyun was stunned by Chen Xiuyuan's words, "What? Ground-level high-level? How is it possible!"

"Nothing is impossible. Chen Xiuyuan still said coldly.

Shang Longyun sat in his position a little dejectedly, and was stunned for a long time before looking at Chen Xiuyuan, "Now Shang Wenqiang is an obstacle for me to seize the position of the head of the family, and at the same time he is also your enemy, in this case, if you can help me get the throne of the head of the family, I will definitely help you at that time." How?"

After that, Shang Longyun seemed to hesitate for a moment, then took out a jade bottle from his arms and placed it on the table cautiously.

"What is this?"

"Che Di Dan!" Shang Longyun said with some pain.
