Chapter 364: There seems to be an old man
"When you are just an ordinary disciple, your achievements are the merits of the Sect Elders, and even if there is some conflict of interest with other disciples, there will be people who will come forward to protect you. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"And when you get to this day, if you go any further, you will threaten the interests of those who appreciated you and promoted you back then. β
"If you still deal with it like before, I'm afraid your future road will not be so easy, have you thought about these?"
Chen Yuan and Mu Xiyan are in the East Continent and the other in the West Continent, and there is not much conflict of interest between the two, so they are the best partners to help each other.
She worked hard to make friends with Chen Yuan, and if Chen Yuan achieved more in the Eastern Continent, it would not only prove that she had the skill of knowing people, but also make her potential power a little deeper.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiyan said such heartfelt words to Chen Yuan very rarely.
Chen Yuan looked at the distant scenery expressionlessly, and didn't seem to react, but Mu Xiyan's words were imprinted in his heart.
Chen Yuan is very smart, but in his previous life, he was just a teenager who had not yet stepped out of the ivory tower and was not deeply involved in the world, and he did not have much social experience, nor had he seen the sinister human heart.
After coming to the other world unexpectedly, whether it was assigned by Yingtian Sect, or coming to Liantian Peak, or even going to Chengtian Sect, Chen Yuan was doing quite well.
Among these sects, the kind of friendship and warmth that Chen Yuan felt awakened his good memories, as if he had returned to the carefree campus in his previous life.
But after all, this time is different from the past, and sometimes Chen Yuan really forgot that he was in a world where the weak eat the strong, and the lives of the weak are like mustard.
Mu Xiyan's words were still recalling in his ears, Chen Yuan's heart was calm, and at this moment, he thought a lot.
Along the way, some people have forgotten each other, some people have turned enemies into friends, and some people have turned against each other.
For some reason, at this moment, Chen Yuan suddenly remembered the assassination in the dark night of Ningcheng, and the inexplicable collegial discussion with the elders before.
Seeing that Chen Yuan fell into deep thought, Mu Xiyan didn't bother rashly, she walked back to the table and wanted to refill a new cup of tea for herself, but found that the tea in the pot had dissipated and the fragrance was gone.
Mu Xiyan frowned slightly, gave up her plan to taste tea, supported her cheeks, sat at the table, and looked at Chen Yuan quietly......
The evening of early spring always came very early, and before the time came, the sky was gradually darkening, and Chen Yuan and Mu Xiyan talked about things and walked down from the tall building.
"I have delayed a lot of time, and I even forgot to say the right thing, my trip is to welcome you as a messenger to Yingtianzong as a guest, I don't know when Miss Mu can leave here?"
"I'm afraid we will have to wait for two more days," Mu Xiyan replied, "Every two years, an auction of goods from the Western Continent will be held in Pinghai City, and the entire auction will last for about seven days, except for the preliminary preparations, today is only the fourth day." β
"Well, then I will wait for the girl in the city inn for a few more days, it just so happens that this Pinghai city is very prosperous, and the customs are unique, and I just take the opportunity to visit. β
Chen Yuan knew that Chengtian Sect and his party would stay in the Eastern Continent for nearly a year, and they would not return until the winter solstice, and the sect did not give a deadline for the mission, so Chen Yuan was not in a hurry to urge Mu Xiyan to set off.
The two walked out while talking, Mu Xiyan took out two storage rings and looked at Chen Yuan and said, "By the way, this place contains the unique elixir spirit grass and materials of the Western Continent that the sect promised you, what are you going to do with it?"
"If you're going to swap for spirit stones, I suggest you sell now, and you might be able to sell for a higher price at auction. β
Chen Yuan thought for a while and replied, "It's okay, don't bother the two masters, please ask Miss Mu to help sell my this one too." β
Mu Xiyan nodded and agreed.
As he spoke, the gate of Tingtao Pavilion was already far away.
Chen Yuan stopped, clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "Miss Mu, please stay, and say goodbye first." β
After a pause, Chen Yuan saluted again: "Today, thank you for the girl's teaching!"
Mu Xiyan's pear vortex was shallow, and he said in a manly voice: "I hope it will be helpful to you." β
"Farewell. β
"Goodbye. β
However, just as Chen Yuan waved goodbye, he saw a guard walking over in a hurry, standing in front of Mu Xiyan and reporting: "There is a merchant outside the door who asks to see him, saying that he wants to meet the master about the auction. β
"No," Mu Xiyan's good-looking eyebrows furrowed, and he scolded, "If you want to buy anything, let him go to the auction by himself, what's the good thing." β
After the guard was trained to hold his head and run away, Mu Xiyan explained with some embarrassment: "The goods brought from the Western Continent have always been in demand, so there are always some people who want to take some shortcuts, and the guards here are newly hired and don't know the rules very well, which makes Elder Chen laugh." β
Chen Yuan nodded understandingly, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, when I was in Luoxia City that time, those guards of yours didn't know much about the rules, otherwise, I really wouldn't have seen Miss Mu." β
"It's just," Chen Yuan looked in the direction of the attic door, and said with some schadenfreude, "It seems that the bribe given by this merchant is going down the drain." β
However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the door, as if there was some conflict between the guard who had just returned and the merchant.
I faintly heard a voice coming: "How can you not do something after you have received the money?"
"No, I don't need you to return the money, as long as you let me in. β
"Master's family, master's family, are the predecessors of the Chengtian Sect here? β
"At most, I will delay you for a stick of incense, no, half a pillar of incense will be fine, please. β
As if unwilling to be stopped, the merchant roared outside the door while struggling, and the sound reached Chen Yuan, which was clearly visible.
Mu Xiyan's face became more and more ugly, and suddenly she opened her mouth and called: "Housekeeper." β
An old man who was far behind the two heard Mu Xiyan's call, stepped forward quickly, bowed down and asked, "What does the young lady command?"
"You go and send the man away, and tell the guard that he has been fired," Mu Xiyan commanded in an unhappy tone, "Also, write down who that merchant is, such a person who doesn't know how to do business with our Chengtian Sect in the future." β
"Yes. β
The housekeeper answered and was about to go, but he was stopped by Chen Yuan without taking two steps: "Wait." β
"What's wrong?" asked Mu Xiyan.
Chen Yuan's brows furrowed, and he hesitated: "This voice seems to be someone I know......"
Chen Yuan walked a few steps quickly, and when he saw the familiar figure at the door who was pushing and shoving with the guards, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Fatty, why are you here?"
"Is there any politeness, fat people can be called casually," but when the chubby round face turned around, the dissatisfaction turned into full of surprise, "Chen ...... Brother Chen?"
