Chapter 3: Blood
Wash away the smell of blood, tie up his hair neatly, and put on a set of luxurious clothes, which he specially asked his maid to prepare, and a white tiger was embroidered on the black robe.
It's been two hours since I dressed up, and the sun is already in the west.
Pan Yingfeng outside didn't wait impatiently, but she was tired of standing, so she moved a stool and sat at the door of the small courtyard.
After Chen Li walked out of the courtyard gate, he did not sneer at him as he imagined, Pan Yingfeng did not sneer at him, but stood up from the stool, looking very solemn.
"It's worthy of being the child of the second master, it's really a talent to dress up well, and you can see the shadow of Sister Qingsha between your eyebrows. Pan Yingfeng smiled gently.
Chen Li didn't give her a good face, "If my mother heard you call her Sister Qingsha when she was alive, I am afraid that she will not be able to sleep for a few days." β
Pan Yingfeng didn't care about Chen Li's ridicule, and the smile on her face didn't diminish in the slightest: "Stinky boy, it stands to reason that you have to call me a big lady." β
"It stands to reason that my mother will be looking for you in the next few years!" Chen Li's face turned blue, he didn't know what this scheming woman was going to do this time.
"I remember that you are still young, and you have just come back from a long trip, and my aunt does not remember you. Pan Yingfeng sat back on the stool with a smile, and her seniority changed from luxurious to lazy.
When Chen Li's mother just died, he was tricked into being imprisoned in the kitchen in the backyard, while Pan Yingfeng said that Chen Li couldn't stand the pain of losing his mother and left home.
Apparently, she arranged all this.
The entire Chen Mansion was kept in the dark, except for the group of people in the kitchen who didn't dare to speak, and the only ones who knew his whereabouts were the group of evil slaves in the small courtyard.
"The eldest lady doesn't know, I've traveled so far!" was confined in the back kitchen for four years, and no one in the huge Chen Mansion noticed except for the people in the small courtyard, which was a big joke.
"It seems that you won't recognize me as a lady, and anyway, I'm not here to recognize my relatives this time, but just to spread the news. Pan Yingfeng stood up, the servant behind her put away the stool, flicked her sleeves, and said: "Two months later, it will be the family competition, your uncle and uncle are Ding Wang, and your eldest brother will also come over that day, don't lose the face of the second master, otherwise I will kill you!"
When Pan Yingfeng said this, a cold light finally appeared on her face, and judging by her cannibalistic eyes, Chen Li, who didn't want to show weakness, took half a step back.
Seeing Pan Yingfeng walk away, Chen Li realized that he had just said a few words to this woman, and his palms had already begun to sweat.
This is not the point, the point is that the family competition that Pan Yingfeng said will only be held once every ten years, mainly for the children of the Chen family of that generation to decide a ranking.
And his eldest brother named Chen Dongsheng is coming.
Chen Dongsheng is the Tianjiao of the Chen family, and on the last day of Chen Li's stay in the front yard, he still heard that this Chen family Tianjiao, who was only sixteen years old and was already the seventh day after tomorrow.
The death of Chen Li's mother back then was inseparable from this Chen Dongsheng, the Chen Li in front of him was well protected by his mother, and he was naΓ―ve and ignorant.
Now Chen Li is a different person, and if you look at the memories in your mind, you will find that Chen Dongsheng often comes to disturb Chen Li's mother, which is the biggest reason why his mother has the intention to die.
Chen Li's fists clenched, a tragic woman, in this era, is worried about her own children and nephews, how much pressure she is under.
This time the family is big, Chen Dongsheng is coming back, and Chen Li must make him pay the price this time.
"Young Master Li, you're finally back, and the minions want to kill you. β
A broken duck's voice sounded, Chen Li was cold, and with a reflexive kick, a black shadow was kicked out by him.
"Young Master Li, what are you doing, the slave just wants to hug you. The black shadow that had been kicked out patted the footprints on his body and stood up.
When the surrounding maids saw this person, their whole bodies began to tremble, and even a few of them did not hide the disdain in their eyes at all.
"It turned out to be Zhou Cai!" This person's name is Zhou Cai, he is the head of the small courtyard, the best person for Chen Li's mother and son, and Chen Li's greatest hope in the kitchen, but this hope did not bring him gains.
Zhou Cai walked quickly in front of Chen Li, took his hand, looked him up and down, sighed and said, "Fortunately, Young Master Li didn't hurt anything on this trip, otherwise how would I explain to my wife." β
"I don't look at who I am, but Zhou Cai, your figure is much better, it seems that the food there is good for the eldest lady." Chen Li smiled and touched Zhou Cai's fat face.
Zhou Cai's face turned pale, and he stammered: "Young Master Li, what are you talking about, the slave has been running the small courtyard without any slackness." β
Patting Zhou Cai's shoulder, Chen Li said with a smile: "I'm joking with you, maybe I have to go out for a few months to do some things, before I come back, I want to see the incense burner in front of my mother's tablet filled with incense ashes, and I don't want to see a little dust in other parts of the ancestral hall, can you do it?"
Zhou Cai hurriedly nodded, and said affirmatively: "Young Master Li, don't worry, a little dust will not be difficult for the slave, and the incense of the lady will not be broken." β
Chen Li leaned into Zhou Cai's ear and smiled gently, but his voice was cold, "If I come back from errands and the incense ashes in the incense burner are not full, I will cut your flesh and fill it." β
Zhou Cai's fat face trembled, and he nodded hurriedly, he looked at the young man in front of him, and found that the innocent and lovely child at the beginning had now been made ruthless by the back kitchen.
Moreover, he himself knows that in this process, he must play an important role in wanting to be important.
There are still two months before the family competition, and the strength of the second day after tomorrow will not be the first, I heard that the eldest son of the uncle of the Chen family is already the ninth level of cultivation of the day after tomorrow, and Chen Dongsheng, who was already the seventh level of the day after tomorrow four years ago, Chen Li has fallen too far behind.
He wanted to hurry up and upgrade, and wanted to gain more experience, killing pigs was no longer satisfied, and his eyes were set on the fierce beasts and monsters in the barren mountains outside Yuezhou City.
The barren mountains outside Yuezhou are famous in the entire Tianxuan Continent, and it is rumored that 300,000 years ago, there were many auspicious beasts there.
Since then, countless demon beasts have appeared in the barren mountains of Yuezhou, making it a holy place for the demon clan for a time.
It's just that the demon race was too rampant, which angered the powerful leader of the human race at that time, and let the scattered human race get united.
That ancient battle was dark, and it lasted for 100,000 years, and both the human and demon races were greatly injured.
Only then did the two clans realize that it was not a way to continue fighting, and they could only sign an armistice agreement.
200,000 years, that battle still has an impact on today's people, the vitality has not been restored, and the top powerhouses are compared to the hundred schools of thought in ancient times, and now the two clans are barely able to take out a palm.
The demon clan retreated into the barren mountains of Yuezhou to recover their vitality, and the human race also established the Tang Empire to prohibit it and develop it uniformly.
There are many fierce beasts and demon beasts on the periphery of the barren mountains in Yuezhou now, but they are all low in strength and belong to the kind that have been eliminated.
Just like the human realm, the further you go to the Central Plains, the more powerful the warriors are, and those like the Chen family who can dominate Yuezhou City are only marginal forces.
