Chapter 332: Old Chen Yue
Along the way, Ye Haoran saw everyone looking at the direction of the Ancient Cultivation Sword Tomb with a look of trepidation, in order not to arouse suspicion, he had no choice but to look at the sky above the Ancient Cultivation Sword Tomb with a look of panic, and at the same time approached the direction of the Sword Spirit Town as if he was frightened.
As soon as he entered Sword Spirit Town, Ye Haoran looked at the shops on both sides of the street and found that it seemed to be a little different from six years ago, because the styles of the plaques had become very uniform, and there was a seal engraved in the lower right corner of those plaques, in which the word "Yandi" was engraved.
When Ye Haoran saw these two words, he instantly felt a trace of something wrong, and even the bad feeling he felt in the Donglai Realm was even more obvious after he came out of the Ancient Cultivation Sword Tomb.
This made Ye Haoran frown tightly, and strode out towards the direction where the Junzi Pavilion was located.
When the main shop of the Junzi Pavilion was fully visible, Ye Haoran felt even more uncomfortable. Because the person standing at the door of the Gentleman's Pavilion and looking around was not Chen Yue, but Chen Yue's brother, the one who was introduced to him a few years ago. Normally, if he came in person, Chen Yue would inevitably bring someone to greet him in person, but this time he was replaced by this person, which was obviously not in line with Chen Yue's style of doing things in the past, which made Ye Haoran feel that something might really happen.
At this time, Ye Haoran looked like a big man with a beard on his face, which was very different from his previous face, although no one could recognize him, but in order to let Chen Yue know, he had already described his changing appearance to Chen Yue in the thousands of miles of transmission notes.
So when Ye Haoran walked less than 100 meters away from the Junzi Pavilion, Chen Yue's brother saw him for the first time, and then ran forward with a respectful face and said: "Boy Liu Mao, the shopkeeper said that a distinguished guest was coming, so he specially asked me to come to greet him!"
When Ye Haoran heard this, he nodded slightly and said, "What about Chen Yue and the others?"
When Liu Mao heard this, a trace of sadness quickly flashed across his face, and then he smiled slightly, and said respectfully to Ye Haoran: "It's inconvenient for the shopkeeper to show up now, he asked you to move to the Gentleman's Hall first, and then he will go to see him in person!"
Ye Haoran was already good at observing words and feelings, although the sad color on Liu Mao's face was only revealed for a moment, how could it escape his eyes, so while he was worried in his heart, he also smiled and nodded slightly and said to Liu Mao: "Then bother Brother Liu to lead the way!"
When Liu Mao heard Ye Haoran's voice from Brother Liu, he immediately showed a look of horror, made a congratulatory gesture and said: "I can't help it, I can't help it, you just call me Xiao Liuzi, I'm just a little brother under the shopkeeper Chen, how dare I call you a brother!"
How could Liu Mao not be frightened? The Gentleman's Hall in the Gentleman's Pavilion was the cultivation place of Ye Fan, the master of the Gentleman's Pavilion, since the Pavilion Master went out to travel, the shopkeeper Chen directly blocked the place, and if anyone dared to enter without permission, then he would be directly executed. I didn't expect that now the shopkeeper Chen would greet this monk in the Gentleman's Palace, it is conceivable that his identity is definitely not trivial, how dare Liu Mao speak with him at will?
For this reason, Ye Haoran didn't care about saying anything, and walked directly to the Junzi Pavilion, while Liu Mao followed with a respectful face.
After entering the Junzi Pavilion, Liu Mao nodded and invited Ye Haoran to the third floor, and then after Ye Haoran entered the Junzi Palace, he respectfully retreated and closed the palace door.
Ye Haoran stood in the gentleman's hall, recovering his true face, looking at the decoration around him that was the same as before, the entire hall looked spotless, obviously someone often cleaned it. This made Ye Haoran can't help but feel that Chen Yue was bothered.
It didn't take long for Ye Haoran to feel Chen Yue's breath outside the door of the main hall behind him, and before he could speak, he said, "Come in!"
Then, there was a slight sound of pushing the door, followed by an extremely old and excited voice: "Boy Chen Yue, welcome the pavilion master home!"
Ye Haoran heard the old voice, hurriedly turned around to look, and saw that there was only a gray-haired, skinny old man standing in front of him, as if he would die at any time. If it weren't for Ye Haoran, who could still vaguely see Chen Yue's shadow from the old man's face, he couldn't believe it.
For this reason, Ye Haoran hurriedly stepped forward to support Chen Yue, and said distressedly: "Chen Yue, I haven't seen you for a few years, how did you become like this?"
At this time, although Chen Yue was already old, a trace of excited tears had already appeared on the wrinkled eyelids, and then he held Ye Haoran's arms tightly with his trembling hands and said: "Pavilion Master, I didn't expect that in my few remaining days, I could wait for you to come back, and I, Chen Yue, can be regarded as dead without regrets!"
When Ye Haoran heard this, his heart ached, and then he grabbed Chen Yue's left wrist that was covered with wrinkles and was like skin and bones.
It didn't take long for Ye Haoran to say with a look of anger on his face: "There are thousands of poisons gathered in the body, so vicious." Chen Yue, tell me, who did it?"
When Chen Yue heard this, he said with a guilty face: "It's all because the kid is useless, so that the big prince will have a chance to take advantage of it!"
When Ye Haoran heard this, his face instantly turned cold, and he said, "Yandi!! Chen Yue, you will tell me everything in detail!"
Chen Yue looked at Ye Haoran's face, and said with a slight warmth in his heart: "This matter has to start after you entered the ancient cultivation sword tomb. At that time, our Junzi Pavilion made a lot of money because of the sale of those 10 million Sword Intent Pills, so we had our own heritage. ”
"But the good times didn't last long, just two years later, there was news from Jingzhou that the mysterious forces of several second-class sects had been wiped out overnight, so the monks of the entire Kyushu Continent were panicked, and they all felt that the invasion of the Holy Clan was about to break out completely. And at this time, the eldest prince changed his original intention, and wrote to the Emperor Linghuang on a piece of paper, saying that a major event in Jingzhou was coming, and the people were panicking, and he must send someone to stabilize the hearts of the people first, and said that the third prince Yantian was the heart of the people, and this was a time for him to win the hearts of the people, so as to pave the way for the establishment of the prince in the future. ”
When Ye Haoran heard about Jingzhou, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Go on!"
Chen Yue breathed a sigh of relief and spoke again: "The Spirit Emperor naturally knew that the situation was serious, so he immediately ordered the third prince Yantian to bring 100,000 elite soldiers to defend Jingzhou, so as to gather the hearts of the people. But just after the third prince Yantian left, the eldest prince Yandi began to act recklessly, and used all means to collect ninety percent of the trading houses in Sword Spirit Town under his own name. And the rest of the firms are only the Liuyun Firm, the Second Prince Yanfan, and the Qingyu Firm, the Qingyu Venerable, which have not been recovered, plus our Gentleman's Pavilion is the plaque given by the Spirit Emperor himself, as well as the six orders in your hand, the Great Prince Yandi will not dare to snatch it directly!"
"But this Great Prince Yandi is a person who must repay flaws, how can he easily bypass our Gentleman's Pavilion! Therefore, he secretly threatens ...... if he can't do it."
