Chapter 38: The Shadow

Time passed silently, there was no word all night, the morning light slowly sprinkled, and quietly penetrated the window into this slightly dark room, Zhao Chen stretched his waist very unimagedly, and his eyes were slightly dark, because the matter of summoning beasts was full of money plans in his mind, and making money was more important to him now than improving his strength.

Walking out of the holiday, Xiao Lu had been waiting outside the house for a long time, and Zhao Chen said hello: "Morning, Xiao Lu." ”

Xiao Lu was puzzled: "Young Master, why are your eyes black?" Didn't sleep well last night? ”

Zhao Chen snorted: "Maybe I'm too tired for the past two days, so tired that I can't sleep at night." ”

"Oh, young master, wait a minute, I'll go make you a cup of tea. (Don't ask me how there is tea in another world)" Xiao Lu forced a smile and said respectfully, in fact, she was already laughing in her heart, she thought to herself: "I only know that the more tired I am, the easier it is to fall asleep, but it is the first time I heard that I am so tired that I can't sleep, the young master is really funny." ”

After a while, Xiao Lu made tea and brought it to Zhao Chen's side: "Young master, please drink tea!" ”

Zhao Chen had already sorted it out at this time, his eye circles were much normal, and he basically couldn't see anything unusual if he didn't look carefully, he took the tea, and while Xiao Yun took a sip, he praised with a smile: "Xiao Lu, your skills are getting better and better." ”

Midori said happily: "Really? From then on, I will definitely make more tea for the young master, as long as the young master doesn't dislike it. ”

At this time, an old but hearty voice suddenly came from outside: "Zhao Chen Xiaoyou, I brought it to you, why don't you come out to meet your father and them." ”

Zhao Chen's hand trembled, and he walked out with joy on his face.

"Hey, Uncle Shaw, why are you here too?" After Zhao Chen talked to Zhao Qing and Zhao Ling for a while, he saw that Xiao Ding was also on the side, and even Xiao Yi's girl came with him, he couldn't help but wonder, this Xiao family doesn't seem to have a reason to come over, right?

Xiao Ding pretended to be displeased and quipped: "I said Zhao Xian's nephew, will you drive us back?" ”

"Where, Uncle Xiao can come, it's the kid's luck, how can the kid drive Uncle Xiao away!" Zhao Chen hurriedly smiled and said politely.

Zhao Qing interjected at this time: "Your Uncle Xiao doesn't see that you are developing well in Chi Qingcheng, he is also tired of Jianye City, and when he heard that I was coming to Chi Qingcheng, he came with him, and it just so happened that the business of your blacksmith shop lacked middlemen?" I think you, Uncle Shaw, are a good candidate. ”

Zhao Chen said gratefully: "I'm worried about this, so the kid will thank Uncle Xiao a lot." ”

Xiao Ding said politely: "The virtuous nephew doesn't need to thank me, this matter is a matter of mutual benefit, and it is too much to thank you." ”

"Okay, you're welcome, Chen'er, I think it's time for us to talk openly and honestly?" Zhao Qing had too many doubts in his heart, and now when he saw Zhao Chen, he couldn't wait to figure out all the doubts in one go, how could he bear it at this time, he almost wanted to pull Zhao Chen into a dead end and torture him to extract a confession.

Zhao Ling also looked at this grandson with a look of relief, speaking of which, if he hadn't fought hard to suppress the dark power in Zhao Chen's body sixteen years ago, I am afraid that there is no such person as Zhao Chen in this world now.

Xiao Yi secretly looked at Zhao Chen from the side, her white face quietly climbed into a trace of redness, since she saw Zhao Chen outside the Xiao Mansion that time, she suddenly found that she couldn't understand this teenager, and as many rumors about him spread, she paid more and more attention to this teenager, she found that her feelings for this teenager had changed from disgust to surprise and curiosity, and in the end, even she couldn't figure out how she felt about this teenager, she only knew that maybe it would be very good to be with this teenager, right?

Even if it's just an ordinary friend, it will make people feel happy and happy.

It wasn't until yesterday that Xiao Ding suddenly told her that she was going to marry her to Zhao Chen, and she was suddenly at a loss, and her first feeling was not joy or happiness, but full of confusion.

She didn't know what agreement her father and Uncle Zhao Qing had reached secretly, but she vaguely felt that maybe she had become a legendary political bargaining chip, but she was not very disgusted, but had a feeling of secret anticipation, although this feeling was not even discovered by herself.

In fact, Zhao Qing also met Xiao Ding on the way to Chi Qingcheng, originally he was very disappointed that Xiao Ding did not appear in the most difficult moment of the Zhao family from beginning to end, after all, with their relationship, Xiao Ding's approach made him too chilling, and he had complained more than once, but after meeting Xiao Ding, he knew that Xiao Ding was not in Jianye City at all, and Xiao Ding went out to talk about business at that time, so that Xiao Ding did not need to explain too much, and Zhao Qing also let go of the mustard in his heart.

Later, after a long talk, Zhao Qing told Xiao Ding all the news he got from Ye Mad one by one.

As soon as Xiao Ding was interested at that time, he joked that it was better to marry a family, and Zhao Qing's eyes lit up, he had seen the Xiao family girl many times, whether in terms of temperament, appearance or family background, she was completely worthy of Zhao Chen, and her talent was also very good, so the two obscene uncles decided on the matter privately, but when they first met Zhao Chen, the two were embarrassed to announce the news as soon as they came, and planned to let Xiao Yi and Zhao Chen get along for a while before announcing it.

The Zhao family was overjoyed, but someone in NATO City was furious.

In a grand mansion hall, in the center of the seat sat a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes but extremely gloomy, and below stood two rows of subordinates, all of whom were powerful and even king-level.

"Ye Madness! Ye family! The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, his eyes full of hatred, "You dare to obstruct what I hate the sky, do you really think that I don't dare to touch you?" ”

"Alliance leader! Focus on the big picture! The old man standing in the first place said lightly.

Hate Tian snorted heavily, although his face was pale, he couldn't help but not attack: "Don't worry, the leader of this alliance has his own measure, and he doesn't need your persuasion." However, I will never let go of this Zhao family, so you don't have to talk too much. ”

But he secretly hated in his heart: "If you are old and immortal, you can continue to jump, and you will not have a chance to jump in a few months." ”

At the same time, he couldn't help but think of the figure that overshadowed the heavens and the earth, an obsessive light flashed in his eyes, and a rare gentle look appeared on his face.

"Alas!" When the old man saw the appearance of hating the sky, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

On the hill next to an extremely remote but luxuriously built building in this mansion, a dusty figure stood silently on the edge of the hill, looking up at the sun with half of its head exposed, with a quiet smile on its face, this smile was enough to make the heavens and the earth lose color, that stunning posture, even the sun fell for it, it seemed that the sun rose much faster than before.

Laugh at the city, and then laugh at the country!

This may be an exaggeration, but it is the only one that deserves her smile.

A few people passed by not far from the hill, and inadvertently glanced at this side, although they had seen her many times, they still couldn't help but sigh: "This woman should be in the sky, how many times can I smell it in the world!" ”

That shocking glance once again made the hearts of several subordinates thump, and they couldn't help but quickly retract their gaze and speed up their steps to leave this place.

"Hee-hee, Aunt Mu, I'm here!" A string of tinkling copper bells rang, and an equally beautiful girl stood playfully behind the woman, grinning.

"Hehe, why did Xiao Xi come over so early today?" The woman's face showed a smile with kindness and brilliance, her every move seemed to involve the color of heaven and earth, but it was just a plain smile, but it made the girl in front of her stunned.

At this moment, two beauties, one big and one small, constitute an eternal and beautiful picture, even if the contemporary painting saint comes, I am afraid that I will not be able to paint their beauty.

ps: Let's guess who these two women are, and there will be a prize for guessing correctly.
