In the next few days, Chen Ji did not see Xia Fan again in the village.

Even if you ask the villagers, the answers they give are the same.

He tried to leave the village to find the whereabouts of the other party, but a strange scene happened.

No matter how he goes, he will end up back in square one.

For this reason, he specially asked the villagers for advice, but this time the villagers gave a different answer.

"This is the immortal elder who used the immortal method around the village, and no one can enter or leave this village without the permission of the immortal chief. ”

Chen Ji was completely shocked.

On the one hand, he was shocked by the mysterious young man's "immortal methods", and on the other hand, he was shocked by the deep meaning behind the ban on the square in the same circle.

Out of caution, he began to keep knocking on the sideways to try to find out more about Xia Fan.

However, the results were unsatisfactory and had little effect.

He could even clearly feel that the villagers' answers were being concealed.

He didn't get to the bottom of it, because he knew that his actions had caused a backlash in the village, and the villagers who had greeted him warmly in the past had begun to become indifferent and alienated, and if it weren't for Xia Fan's order, I am afraid that even the peasant woman who took care of his diet and daily life would not come.

Such a situation undoubtedly made Chen Ji even more upset.

"You're fine, it's time to get out of here. ”

On this day, Chen Ji, who was sitting at the entrance of the village, finally waited for Xia Fan, who was late.

“...... Senpai, can I ask you some questions before leaving?"

Chen Ji stared at the mysterious young man in front of him who was lazy and casual, and said in silence for a long time.

"Just ask, but I don't promise the answer will satisfy you. ”

Xia Fan yawned lazily and said.

“......”

Originally, Chen Ji had a lot of questions in his heart, but after seeing the real person of the other party, he didn't know where to start.

He looked at the village in front of him like a paradise, and suddenly couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.

"Senior, why did you take these people in in the first place?"

"No, you're wrong, I never thought about taking them in at first, but they took the initiative to rely on me, and it was pitiful to look at them, so I just drew a piece of land for them. ”

Xia Fan shook his head nonchalantly and said.

"But every time they mention you, I find that they seem to be very afraid of you, so how can they take the initiative to rely on you?" Chen Wei frowned.

"Because I killed a lot of people in front of them!" Xia Fan said lightly.

"Huh?"

When Chen Ji heard this, he instantly turned his head to look at the other party with a shocked expression.

"Have you forgotten who they were before?"

Xia Fan's face was still calm.

"I know. ”

Chen Ji suddenly fell silent.

"Don't let the illusion in front of you blind your eyes, you will never want to know how many unknown sins lie behind these desirable beauty. Xia Fan said in a light tone.

"So you put them in captivity?" Chen said.

"You're wrong, in fact I have never restricted their freedom, and I will let them go whenever they want to, do you think no one has left in all these years? Xia Fan said. "Because compared to the outside world, only here can they live like a person. ”

“...... I understand. ”

Chen Ji sighed.

"What about you, senior, why do you want to live in seclusion in the mountains?"

"Do you think I don't like the flowery world outside?" Xia Fan shrugged. "But the outside world is more dangerous than you think, and if you can ask this kind of question, it means that you haven't touched the other side of this world. ”

"The other side of the world?" Chen said with deep confusion.

"Let's take an analogy, how was the person who chased and killed you before?" Xia Fan said casually.

"They are all among the best masters in the rivers and lakes, otherwise my second brother with high eyes would not have recruited them. Chen Ji said in a deep voice.

"However, the master in your eyes is just a third-rate person who is responsible for running errands on the other side of the world, so you understand?" Xia Fan said.

"Could it be...... Is there really a god in this world?"

For some reason, looking at Xia Fan, who was secretly showing all kinds of miracles in front of him, Chen Ji couldn't help but blurt out.

"I don't know if there are immortals, I only know that there are indeed strong people in the outside world whose strength is comparable to the means of immortals. Xia Fan said with a serious face. "Even I can't avoid these people. ”

“...... Senior, you're not bluffing me, are you?"

Chen Ji's eyes widened, as if listening to a book from heaven.

"Do you really go back and ask your elders to find out, it stands to reason that people like you who come from a powerful family should know more about the inside story than ordinary people, why don't you know anything when you come here?"

Xia Fan glanced at the other party with some strange eyes.

“......”

Chen Ji was silent.

Because he really never heard the elders talk about these things.

Although he was born in a famous family, he was naughty since he was a child, willful and messy, and often provoked chickens and dogs in the house.

It wasn't until he almost drowned his childhood playmate in a certain play, that his parents and elders finally got angry and directly sent him back to his ancestral home Yangchuan from the capital at the age of eight, and at the same time invited a number of strict teachers to control him, and Chen Ji's personality gradually changed.

I forgot to mention that the childhood playmate he almost killed back then was the Seventh Prince of His Majesty.

The other party's mother is his father's biological sister, and in terms of blood relationship, the two are still cousins.

It's no wonder that parents and elders are furious when they learn about this.

After Chen left his home in the capital, he lived in his ancestral home in Yangchuan for six years, during which his parents did not return to Yangchuan to visit him once, and finally when he was fifteen years old, he was allowed to return to the capital.

However, the good times did not last long, and half a year later, his father was forced to send him back to Yangchuan along with his mother, brother and others due to the situation in the court.

Perhaps it is the perennial lack of parental companionship and teaching, which makes him and his two elder brothers have obvious differences in terms of how they behave in the world, at least in the eyes of outsiders, his two elder brothers are typical images of the sons of the family, in contrast, Chen Ji is like a young man who has nothing to do with the city.

In fact, Chen Ji is not unaware of this, especially after returning to the capital after six years, the two brothers who were once familiar and close to him made him feel a strong sense of strangeness.

His eldest brother became unsmiling.

His second brother became a teenager and an old man.

Outsiders praised them for being fatherly.

But Chen Ji doesn't like such a big brother and second brother, because they are no longer the elder brother who laughs with him in their childhood memories, but a stern elder image.

The problem is that he doesn't like it, and from the bottom of his heart, he still respects and loves his two brothers very much.

Hearing Xia Fan talk about the secrets of the world, Chen Ji couldn't help but fall into cranky thoughts.

Perhaps, in the six years that he has been away from the capital, he may have missed a lot of things that should not be missed.

At this moment, Chen Ji suddenly wanted to return to Yangchuan immediately, and even wanted to go to the capital to ask his father for verification and clarification.

However, when he thought of the death of the eldest brother and the fact that the second brother secretly poisoned him, Chen Ji couldn't help but get upset.

He can't go back to Yangchuan, since the second brother is determined to kill himself, returning to Yangchuan is tantamount to throwing himself into the net.

At the moment, the most correct choice should be to go to the capital and explain everything to my father.

"Someone came, and the one who came was not good. ”

At this time, Xia Fan frowned, and looked at the mountains and forests in the distance with a solemn face.
