Remember [Pen ♂ Fun → Pavilion in one second.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

People in the world are always so small, trying to get what is not their own.

I hadn't heard of him for a long time after the Mo Li incident, and I didn't know if this guy really went with the Doctor, or if he died on the way to the Doctor.

The headquarters of the four major families summoned me back, because of Mo Cunxiang's death and Mo Li's escape, the security of the whole manor is now becoming more and more tight.

Even when I arrived at the door, I was forcibly pulled out of the car by the little guard, saying that I would check it. But for this, Chen Ming, who was with me, didn't say anything, but this kid glanced at me from time to time, as if he knew something.

Cheating father, I disregarded the image and let the guards get up and down, and it was called a body search. Then he looked at the other party and said hello to Chen Ming, who was half-leaning against the car door, very calmly, and didn't even touch the guy with his hand.

When I got back into the car, I glanced at Chen Ming, "Hey, it's good to have a backstage, like us, we have to be bullied when we go home without a cover." ”

I insinuated that almost all the families except the Zhang family were involved.

There's no way, now that Zhang Lao is unwell, he has closed the door and disappeared, not to mention the little disciples below, I haven't seen that old guy for a while.

Sometimes I even wonder if he died in a place I don't know, and in order to avoid chaos in the Zhang family, the other patriarchs suppressed the matter.

It wasn't until I went to the ancestral hall in person to see that I was sure that Elder Zhang's immortal tablet was still in good condition, that I reluctantly believed that the old man was alive and well in a place I didn't know.

But it was because Mr. Zhang didn't show up for a long time, which caused some careful people in other families to no longer be so respectful to our Zhang family, just like the little guard just now, who has no ability and no backing, and I don't know which family is a side line, and such an obvious difference in treatment between me and Chen Ming makes me want not to complain.

As I spoke, all sorts of miscellaneous thoughts had come full circle in my head, and the car had opened the small garden outside the manor, and the driver got out of the car and pulled the door for me.

I sighed silently, got up and was about to get out of the car, but was grabbed by Chen Ming on my side.

“...... Don't think too much, but with your strength, no one will fight the Zhang family's idea. ”

With that, he let go of his palm, and the warm sense of touch disappeared, and I grinned at him, got out of the car and closed the door neatly, and turned to walk towards the brightly lit hall.

In fact, I had something I wanted to say just now, at the beginning, the other three of your families reluctantly agreed to let me guard the Panlong Jade Pendant because of the pressure exerted by Elder Zhang.

Now the life and death of the person supporting me is unknown, and I don't know where to go, and it is estimated that the major families are ready to move, and their minds are beginning to live.

Even if Chen Ming has some status in the Chen family, Chen Lao is not an insatiable person, but there are always a few people who want to seek personal gain.

There are so many people in the manor, and the patriarchs can't control them one by one.

Walking slowly up the low steps, I heard the accelerator of the SUV behind me open wide, and then turned away. Chen Ming has received another task, unlike me, I have been unemployed for a long time.

If it weren't for the fact that I was looking for a job to do, I am afraid that my monthly salary would not be guaranteed.

"Squeak. ”

Pushing open the heavy and quaint door, unexpectedly, there was no one in the hall, and the crystal chandelier hung there shiningly, for some reason it was a little dazzling.

I suddenly wanted to go back to the Forbidden City, talk to Chen Yongtai about the mountains, and tease Chen Chong again.

"You're back? ”

An old voice came from the corner, and I sighed, resigned myself to the leather couch in the center, and sat down, waiting for the other to come over.

Lian Lao took two cups of coffee slowly, with a kind smile on his face as always, and put one of the cups in front of me, "Try it, I bought it newly, and Lian Chen said it was good." ”

I didn't bother to go around in circles with him, and I opened my mouth to get into the subject, "What did you find in the Plains Base?

On the day I returned to the Zhangjia Hotel in the Forbidden City, I asked Ma Tianyu to teleport everything through the space spell, which directly caused the kid to be too old to get out of bed for a few days, and even the food was fed by Aunt Hua herself.

Lian Lao didn't answer me immediately, but took several sips of what was said to be a newly bought coffee, and then closed his eyes and lay on the sofa with satisfaction, and did not speak for a long time.

I waited silently, and I was not in a hurry.

By the way, I looked at the place where I was looking, and it seemed that the layout of the hall had changed subtly during the time I was away.

I frowned slightly, and looked at it carefully, if I had to say that there was any obvious difference, it was probably the talisman array that was originally arranged by me, but now all of them have been replaced by Lian Chen's handwriting.

The standard Lianjia formation, and it is also advanced.

"Lian Chen has been promoted, and there was a celebration party in the manor a few days ago," Lian Lao said without a beginning, opening his eyes and looking at me with all his thoughts, "Because you are on a mission, I didn't notify you." ”

"Heh, she didn't say anything when she came to the Forbidden City to look for me, I knew that she was promoted, so I was relieved to let her deal with Mo Li. ”

I said deliberately, a smile bigger at the corner of my mouth.

Lian Chen's strength has improved, but it is far from the level that is comparable to me. I know what Lian Lao meant, it's nothing more than Lian Chen, who was only one level below me, has now been successfully promoted, so he is on the same level as me, and the resources and treatment he enjoys should be the same.

But I couldn't bear to tell him that even so, she wouldn't be my opponent. This, as my goddess, Lian Chen knows in her heart that she didn't use strong means to leave Mo Li that day is the best proof.

Lian Lao has always been wise, and he was not choked by my words, but chuckled and pretended to be kind and said, "You are also tired during this time, just take a rest, now Lian Chen can help you, you have always had a good relationship, it is better to hand over Jiujiang Panlong Yupei to her to protect it, you can also take the task seriously." ”

See, here's the point.

No matter how well he covered it up in the early stage, when he learned that his family had the hope of being able to protect a piece of jade pendant that subverted the world, Rao was known for his calmness, and even the old man would have impatience.

I opened my mouth without being salty, saying that this jade pendant was handed down by the ancestors of the Zhang family, and it was guarded by the heirs of the Zhang family for generations, so no matter who handed over the Panlong jade pendant, this jade pendant would return to me by itself.

"Hehe, thank you Lian Lao for your kindness, I also want to take off my burden and take a long vacation comfortably, but unfortunately, Yu Pei just likes to stare at me. ”

When I said this, my eyes looked straight into Lian Lao's shrewd eyes, and in his eyes I saw a glimmer of "unwillingness".

However, I am not going to retract what I said, it is true anyway.

Isn't the house ghost who has been staying in the jade pendant the handiwork of the ancestor of the Zhang family, and he will recognize outsiders. As if to confirm what I said, the jade pendant that hung close to my neck suddenly burst out of my collar, and then rubbed it against my cheek affectionately, and then shrank back in the fiery gaze of Lian Lao.

This little thing, it's been a long time since it came out, and the last time I said that I wouldn't show up as long as my life wasn't in danger, it was true.

I patted my heart, as if innocently spreading my hands, and I saw signs of cracking on Lian Lao's smiling face.

This unnutritious conversation lasted less than half an hour before it ended, and I watched Lian Lao leave the hall with a somewhat gloomy back, and suddenly wanted to leave.

The Zhang family is weak, without the support of Zhang Lao, I can't naturally become the first person in the Zhang family, even if there are many people in the younger generation who admire me, those elders will not let the Zhang family sit big.

Picking up the coffee that had already been cold on the coffee table, I drank it all.

"Well, that's good. ”

Without any useful information, I had to go to an acquaintance to talk to me.

"Yo, why do you have time to run to me? I thought you would discuss the next countermeasures with Lian Lao. ”

Huoxin, who was lying on the bed playing games, looked at me like a distracted person, but in the blink of an eye, he scolded the villain who only had half a strip of blood left on the screen.

I casually lay down on his bed to explain my intentions, however, the villain, who had half a life, fell into the trap because he was a beat slower, and the game was over.

"Damn!!!How many times have I been so much, I still can't get by!"

Huo Xin was so angry that he dropped the handle, and he almost dropped the TV. He sat up and asked me solemnly if there was any friction between me and the patriarchs, otherwise why I came back so much and few people knew.

He would know if it was because Chen Ming had mentioned it to him when he went out.

"Chen Ming has taken on the task again?" I grasped the key point, a little surprised. Completing a mission always gives you a week or so of vacation, and even at the busiest times can guarantee at least three days of rest.

But this time, Chen Ming didn't.

I remembered the embarrassed expressions of Ma Tianyu and Lian Chen when they said they wouldn't go back to the manor with me, and only then did I realize it a little later.

I don't know at some point, I've been isolated by the other three families uniting together, and I don't assign tasks, but when I find out, I will try to support me as much as possible, as if that's all I can do.

In fact, I had this kind of emotion not long ago, but at that time, Lian Chen comforted me and said that only I could find the hiding place of the celestials, so the four major families would let me go.

At the time, I thought it was good to say that, at least freedom of movement was unfettered.

Now that I think about it, it's actually a manifestation of the manor's abandonment of me.

Huo Xin naturally didn't know what I was thinking, and took it for granted that Chen Ming had too many tasks, and Ma Tianyu and Lian Chen were also too busy to rest.

I put away my gloomy look and asked him where he got so many supernatural events, could it be that the celestials had made some kind of moths.

"Hey, don't you know? There are also a lot of scattered people who hide in the pile of ordinary people and continue to experiment. Lian Chen's daily task is to go to different places to catch those guys disguised as humans one by one, of course, the supernatural events must also be solved together......"

When I asked, Huo Xin seemed to open the conversation box and talked endlessly, but my heart sank.
