The Chen family's nightlife is empty and boring.

All the electrical appliances installed in the Chinese garden in this huge garden are all for practical use, and there is no entertainment equipment.

Therefore, most of the juniors of the Chen family do not like to live in the old house, but buy real estate outside.

It's just that even so, due to the Chen family's strict management rules for family members, these people can only stay in the old mansion most of the time, and once they are called, they have to respond quickly.

It's more like a forbidden force than a family.

Nono hated this very much, even to the point of disgust.

In particular, kneeling in the ancestral hall at every turn is simply feudal dross, and it is of no use at all except trampling on people's self-esteem and making people give birth to servility.

Such a punishment is simply a punishment and has no educational value.

But no one in the Chen family will think about this.

They are just inheriting the old traditions, the family rules.

This family is like an outlier who rushed into this era thousands of years ago, erosive, stubborn, old, with a strong smell of decay.

From a very young age, Nono wanted to burn this place with a fire.

From a very young age, from the mother who loved him the most was taken away by this family.

She hated the family.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Nuonuo's behavior is closer to rebellion and dissatisfaction with the family, but no one knows that everything Nuono does is to take revenge on the family.

There is no love for no reason in this world, and there is no hate for no reason.

If it weren't for the death of his mother, Nuno would probably have gradually grown into a tool that they were satisfied with according to the family's wishes, and then married off.

This is one of the two fates of the women of the Chen family - the other is to help the family recruit stronger hybrids.

Family affection does not exist - no, this statement is not appropriate, to put it another way - in the Chen family, family affection exists because of value.

Everything depends on the value, the interest.

This is the rule of the Chen family.

Even between brothers, even between fathers and sons, this rule must be followed.

Unquestionably followed.

"Big brother is here too."

Nono knelt on a futon and looked at the middle-aged man kneeling beside him with a gloomy face.

The middle-aged man turned his head with a "hum" and ignored her.

Nono didn't force a conversation either.

The two of them are already at odds, and it is not good to fight in the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall of the Chen family is very large, about the size of a basketball court.

The beams and columns of the wooden structure are carved with delicate patterns and lifelike, and the roof is covered with gray tiles, and the arches and cornices are full of classical beauty.

The surrounding walls are hung with calligraphy and paintings, recording some ancient stories, which are all famous anecdotes in the history of the family, and those yellowed scrolls tell the glorious past one after another.

Moonlight shines through the skylight of the ancestral hall and sprinkles on the bluestone floor, adding a mysterious color to this ancient building.

Directly in front of the ancestral hall is an offering table where the spiritual seat is placed, and many tablets of the ancestors of the Chen family are densely displayed on it.

Nuno looked at the so many tablets above, and couldn't help but think in his head: They are here to play the qualifying match?

Thinking of this, she felt a little cold herself.

Damn, I've been messing around with Gu Bei's group for a long time, and even I've become abnormal!

Nono remembered the Caesar who said, "It's okay to eat more yo-yo plums."

This group of people is poisonous!

Shake your head and throw the chaotic thoughts out of your head.

Nono looked back at the offering table, looking at the names on the tablets one by one.

In fact, she was almost about to memorize the name on it.

As the junior who made the most mistakes in the entire Chen family, Nuo Nuo spent half of his time in the Chen family in the ancestral hall.

place

She knew the place better than she lived.

In the center is a tall ancestral tablet, which is the oldest ancestor of the Chen family - Chen Sheng.

That's right, it's Chen Sheng who "has a kind of princely general Xiangning".

Don't look at what this guy said nicely, but in fact it was not the case at the time.

In this world, you want to be an emperor without dragon blood?

I can only say that I think it is too beautiful.

The founding emperors of every dynasty and generation, which one was not fought in the bloody storm, just because ordinary people also want to fight with the mixed race.

No kidding.

Of course, Chen Sheng is not a fool, he thinks that he will not die even if he rebels, so he dares to do that.

Not many people want to do something to death.

There is indeed no shortage of people with integrity in this world, and there is no shortage of guys who give their lives for their ideals.

But there are too few such people.

Most people only have complete certainty before they make up their minds.

Chen Sheng is this kind of person.

"The prince will have a kind of Xiangning"?

Hehe, he's a blood descendant!

He himself is a member of the princely generals!

According to the records, the spirit of this product seems to be able to hypnotize, and then relying on the bloodline that is okay and the spirit of the word with good effect to fool a large group of people, follow him "Da Chuxing, King Chen Sheng".

Later, although it failed, it also left a rich foundation and foundation for the Chen family.

This gave rise to the later Chen family.

In front of Chen Sheng's tablet are fruit offerings and a huge incense burner.

Cigarettes swirled around the incense burner, filling the room with a faint aroma.

The incense is specially made to calm the mind and calm the mind.

Nono's gaze fluttered upwards along the curling fireworks, and finally dissipated into the vast night.

She felt remarkably calm and relaxed.

There is a feeling of emptiness.

There were no more barriers, no restraints, and the whole soul drifted like a dissipated cigarette.

This ultimate freedom.

But it's not enough.

She could feel that there was something tugging at her, so she couldn't float too high.

She calmed down.

What time is it?

She didn't know.

There are no electronic devices in the ancestral hall, and no one is allowed to bring electronic devices in, and all those who enter the ancestral hall to be punished have to look at everything in the ancestral hall and then settle down.

Of course, it is also possible to be more impatient, like the one next to her.

Nuo Nuo's eldest brother, to be honest, there is no substantial blood relationship between them, because they are not considered to be born to the head of the Chen family.

They are all just products from Chen Yuan's DNA and then finding someone to carry out surrogacy.

Otherwise, at Chen Yuan's age, it would be impossible to have forty or fifty children in one go-unless he sings every night.

But just look at Chen Yuan's appearance...... It's not an exaggeration to say he's cold.

Occasionally, Nuo Nuo would also wonder viciously, whether Chen Yuan would have been physically removed, after all, as a high-ranking and powerful head of the Chen family, Chen Yuan was too desireless.

So Nuo Nuo has profiled Chen Yuan more than once.

The result is - this guy is a normal man.

But there's one thing that's strange.

Nuo Nuo's profile of Chen Yuan is always incomplete.

It's like she's not profiled a person, but a marionette, and the conclusions she gets are all made by the puppeteer.

But is this result possible?

The dignified head of the Chen family is someone else's marionette?

Who can use the head of the Chen family, the strongest of the five families, as a marionette?

But the results of the profiling are also indisputable.

So Nuo Nuo is about Chen Yuan's situation

Curious.

She even felt uneasy.

"Ahem......

An old voice suddenly sounded in the ancestral hall.

The eldest brother, who was already very anxious, was frightened by this sudden voice, and actually jumped up directly from the spot.

Nuno, on the other hand, frowned and followed the voice.

I don't know when, on the chair next to the offering table, sat an old man with gray hair.

When did he come in?

Nuno can be sure that there was only himself and his eldest brother in this room just now, and there was absolutely no third person.

How did this old man get in?

But then again, is there still such an old person in the Chen family?

No, it may not be a person, this is the ancestral hall of the Chen family, so this old guy may also be ...... Ghost!?

No, no, no, no......

Years of materialist education allowed Nuno to quickly regain her senses, and she quickly observed the details of the old man's body and tried to write in profile.

Being able to enter and exit the ancestral hall freely is the high-level of the Chen family.

The details of the dress are very exquisite, and the taste has the taste of the Republic of China.

Probably around ...... age More than a hundred!?

Could it be an old guy like Principal Angers who has lived from the last century to the present?

Is there still such a person in the family?

I've never heard of it!

Nono bit her lip, her expression a little strange.

The old man looked at her with cloudy eyes, "Oh? Profile? I remember you, Chen Motong...... Your mother is ...... Oh, it's that very curious woman, who knows a lot of things that shouldn't be known."

The old man looked at Nono, "You don't look much like your mother, but more like your grandmother, and it seems that the blood flowing in your body is purer than I thought."

As soon as he opened his mouth, it was the old blood party, what pure-blooded half-blood, what blood-human race, what noble and lowly.

Truth be told, this is Nono's most hated type.

And the other party also mentioned her mother.

It's even more disgusting.

However, before she knew the identity of the old man, Nuo Nuo would not talk nonsense, she still knew the reason for the disaster, and at this time, she had to come up with the usual trick: "Grandpa, why have I never seen you in the Chen family?"

Test your identity first.

But the old man just chuckled and broke Nono's intention: "If you can't write useful information, you will open your mouth to test your identity, from this point you are quite similar to your mother, and your curiosity is equally important, this is not a good thing, otherwise you may end up like your mother at any time...... I think she was not yet thirty years old, and she died at such a young age, like a withered flower before it fully bloomed."

The old man sighed: "This is also nutrients, without nutrients, how can the Chen family grow into a towering tree?"

Nono's pupils narrowed and his eyes narrowed.

This old thing, taking care of himself, said something disgusting, since you like the Chen family so much, then become a nutrient yourself, why do you have to live for so many years!?

"Why do you want to live so many years—that's what you think." The old man's indifferent gaze fell on Nono's face, and she said what she was thinking in a word.

Nono looked shocked.

The old man shook his head: "Don't put your mind on your face, you can profile the old man, and the old man can naturally profile you, so don't be so surprised, this is far worse than your mother - that woman, if you think about it carefully, is also a rare talent, I originally wanted Tianci to marry her as a wife, but she shouldn't ......."

Nono didn't hear the rest of the words, because her mind was full of thinking about how to make the old thing in front of her close that foul mouth.

It would be nice if Caesar was here now, Susie would be okay, Gu Bei would be okay, Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang would be okay, and that little Painted Pear Cloth.

They're sure they'll all send this old man to the West Heaven with one punch.

But Nono can't.

No matter how angry she was, she couldn't do anything.

She is an outlier in the half-breed, obviously has A-level blood, but the actual combat power is only B-level, and there is no speech spirit, except for the relatively high spiritual vision, there is no place like A-level.

She can't hurt people because her combat power doesn't allow it.

She should calm down, she has to calm down.

"Oh, I deserve praise for controlling my emotions," the old man applauded, "Then I'll explain to you why I'm so old, but I still don't die as nourishment."

"Because I am the root, the root of the big tree of the Chen family, if the root dies, then the Chen family will naturally die, so I can't die." The old man said lightly.

Root?

He actually said that he was the root of the Chen family?

Is he Naruto over-watched?

No, that's not the point.

He said that after his death, the Chen family would also die together!

What do you mean?

Literally?

This old guy is the one who talks about the Chen family?

"That's right, I'm the one who talks about the Chen family."

The old man patted his palm like a withered branch, and several pitch-black figures appeared in the ancestral hall, carrying out the eldest brother who didn't know when he passed out.

So only the old man and Nono were left in the ancestral hall.

Those few people just now, Nuo Nuo recognized, were classified troops that only the head of the family could mobilize.

But now they were looking at the old man in front of them.

That is, the old man did not lie to her.

This old guy is the real master of the Chen family!

But why......

"You're wondering why I'm telling you my identity, especially why today?"

The old man smiled, but Nono only felt cold.

He stood in front of the old man as if he had no clothes, and all his thoughts were hidden, but she could not see the old man's thoughts at all.

Profiles this kind of thing, it will be suppressed.

In the end, it is actually based on the information collected, similar to the basic deduction method of Sherlock Holmes, but when the opponent collects far more information than you, your profile will be influenced by the opponent, which will be invalid or biased.

This is the case with Nono now.

She felt like a pair of hands were holding her throat, so that he could only listen to the old man speak slowly, and she could not say a word herself.

"The reason is very simple, that inhuman boy, and the one he founded, is really unpleasant, obviously he has let them go before, but now he just has a little strength, so he came to the door to send him to death, and he also bought off the people within the family......

"Chen Motong, you should know the fate of betraying the family."

The old man's voice was grim, like an awl that burrowed into Nono's ears and wrapped around her neck, suffocating her.

At this moment, there was an explosion in the night.

Nuno felt the pressure on his whole body loosen, and the whole person collapsed to the ground.

The old man's attention was averted, and he saw a thunderbolt fall in the dark night, illuminating all directions.

"It's really, unexpectedly."
