The sunny day makes people feel comfortable, and the blue sky does not even have a trace of floating, as if all the colors have been filtered out.

In the small courtyard, Chen Feng sat on a bench, holding a black knife, carving the small fragments of Jin Nanmu step by step from the outside to the inside, and gradually excavating the shape of the thumb portrait to reveal it.

Qiao Xueqing, who was sitting in front of the brocade frame, saw that Chen Feng's movements were not fast, but he had a special charm produced by various knife techniques, and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but show a knowing smile.

A small portrait seems to come out of Chen Feng's hand, whether it is his action under the knife or the delicacy of the miniature carved portrait, it brings people a sense of elegance.

The combination of mind and skill makes the focused Chen Feng's knife movement natural and vigorous, the knife is consistent, and the air is not greasy.

In the steady, accurate and ruthless printing method, it reveals the simple artistic conception of rough and powerful, axe chopping and knife cutting.

"Squeak~~~"

The gate of the small courtyard was pushed open, and the bright and moving Ruan Yun walked in with a white velvet and very spiritual puppy.

Seeing that Chen Feng and Qiao Xueqing were doing what they were doing, they were completely in a relaxed and elegant state of mind, and they didn't pay attention to themselves at all, Ruan Yunxiu's eyebrows frowned slightly.

After observing the miniature carved figure in Chen Feng's hand for a while, Ruan Yun's eyes showed a little surprise: "Although it is still too far behind Qiu Hong, it looks quite like it now!"

Until the small statue of Jin Nanmu with Qiao Xueqing's face in his hand is carved smooth and delicate, and the hair bun and clothing are slightly rough, forming a strong texture contrast with the skin of the portrait, revealing rich and interesting expressiveness. Chen Feng stopped his knife movements.

"Whew~~~"

With a breath of air to blow the debris away, Chen Feng wiped the animal skin against the small statue that was not yet the size of his finger's belly, his face was intertwined with satisfaction and thought. It seems to be looking back to appreciate the previous carving technique.

Just when Ruan Yunqiao's face sank slightly, and she couldn't wait, Chen Feng looked up at her with a smile on the small bench: "My micro-carving skills can be improved, this is paved with spirit stones!"

Sensing Chen Feng's smile and gradually revealing a flattering face, Ruan Yun became a little vigilant: "It's better for you to put away that shameless expectation." ”

"Viper Woman. Compared to me and Brother Qiao, your net worth should be very rich, how can you say it. You should all give relief to our needy partners. Chen Feng looked obscene, rubbed his hands and smiled.

"Before it gets dark, are you dreaming?"

Ruan Yun looked at Chen Feng's gaze, as if she was looking at an idle scoundrel.

"If it weren't for you stealing business. Can I be as embarrassed as I am now? You have to pay me for the things of those people in Changchun Old Devil......" Facing Ruan Yun's arrogant contempt. Chen Feng pulled his neck and said angrily.

"It's really fast to change your face, you can't get the benefits you want, are you angry?" Ruan Yun smiled and groaned, not taking Chen Feng's angry face seriously at all.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have a heavy treasure, but you have to give me some compensation, such as Zhu Yan Dan and Spirit Stone...... " Before Chen Feng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ruan Yun raising his hand.

"I don't know you very well, don't say I don't have anything. Even if there were, it wouldn't be cheaper for you nasty fellow. "Speaking of which. Ruan Yun smiled happily on her face.

"You have to be so absolute, tell you, don't expect to get any benefits from me in the future, stay away from me......" Thinking of the opportunity to reach his mouth in the Guli Passage, he was taken away by Ruan Yun, Chen Feng couldn't help but hate itchy.

"Giggle~~~ If the soft one doesn't work, will it be hard? It's really ugly, and you're not afraid of losing face in front of the people in the family!" Ruan Yun happily moved her lotus foot and walked a few steps towards the courtyard.

Seeing several members of Chen Chong's family walking in outside the courtyard gate, Chen Feng hurriedly put away his annoyed and angry face, got up and shook his robe, and quickly changed into a solemn appearance.

"Chen Feng, today I brought a few juniors in the clan to sit with you, I don't know if it's inconvenient?" Chen Chong, who entered the courtyard at the head, looked a little embarrassed and unnatural.

Finding that several fourth-generation disciples who followed Chen Chong were also nervous, Chen Feng smiled casually: "It's all a family, you don't need to be so foreign, sit down." ”

Feeling Chen Feng's enthusiasm from the heart, Chen Chong's expression calmed down a little.

Letting Chen Chong face to face and sit down at the stone table, Chen Feng did not shy away from Qiao Xueqing and Ruan Yun.

"Chen Meng is busy rebuilding the city these days, so he didn't come over. Seeing Qiao Xueqing smile and say hello and walk towards the small kitchen, Chen Chong was a little surprised.

"Go with that brute, there will be no turning back from what he has decided. Chen Feng smiled lightly, and only then did he look at the four juniors of the family who followed Chen Chong.

Chen Chong is the son of Chen Feng's fourth uncle Chen Rongqiang, and in the family competition, he was also defeated by Chen Feng who was holding a big shield axe.

Compared to Chen Chong's fourth-level cultivation of qi refining at the beginning, the middle-aged man sitting in front of Chen Feng at this time with slightly bulging eyes had already reached the peak of the ninth layer of qi refining.

Putting aside the combat power, at least in terms of cultivation, Chen Chong and Chen Feng are not comparable.

It's just that compared with Chen Feng's young appearance, Chen Chong has changed too much.

"You guys don't give the second uncle a salute yet. ”

Sensing Chen Feng's gaze at the juniors, Chen Chong said in a deep voice to the four juniors standing not far away.

"See Second Uncle......"

Chen Tianbao's four juniors, their voices were not very uniform, so they wanted to kneel on one knee to pay homage.

"Okay, okay, there's no need for your family to be so angry. ”

The power of Chen Feng's spiritual sense was emanated, and he didn't see any movement, and the figures of Chen Tianbao's four juniors who had not yet visited the worship were held up by an invisible force.

Seeing Chen Feng's happy look as an elder, Ruan Yun felt a little unhappy in her heart: "These little guys came to pay a visit, do you elders want to show something?"

Chen Feng seemed to be in a good mood, and he didn't care about Ruan Yun's run, so he took out four storage bags from the micro-carved text ring and scattered them to Chen Tianbao and the four of them, as if he had been prepared for a long time.

A round-faced young man dressed in luxury couldn't help but be curious. When he looked into the storage bag, his face changed in an instant.

"What good things did your second uncle give?"

As if sensing that Chen Tianbao and the three of them couldn't help but be curious, Chen Chong smiled at the round-faced young man and asked.

"There's only one spirit stone in the storage bag. But ......"

At this time, Chen Tianbao also discovered the middle-grade spirit stone contained in the storage bag.

Although there is only one spirit stone, this kind of valuable thing, the juniors of the Chen family can be said to have never touched it.

If the storage bag contains innate pure spiritual energy, and the crystal clear middle-grade spirit stones are put into the world, I am afraid that it will be no problem to exchange them for one hundred and twenty low-rank spirit stones.

This is definitely an extremely large wealth for a low-level monk. With this middle-grade spirit stone, several juniors of the Chen family also have the capital to impact the Xuan Period.

During these days, Chen Meng is also trying his best to help the family. However, the level of wealth in cultivation resources was completely incomparable to Chen Feng.

"Put everything away, and I hope you can keep in mind the truth that your wealth is not exposed, if you don't have the strength. Even if it's a good thing. It is also the bane that brings disaster to you. Chen Feng reminded Chen Tianbao and the four juniors with a light smile.

Although the storage bag was put away, Chen Tianbao's four juniors still did not recover from the shock.

For the young children of the Chen clan, Chen Feng's existence was even extremely unfamiliar, and even the elders of the clan did not expect that the young man who was infected by the air of desolation and had almost no future, and was abandoned by the family, would be able to come back.

"This girl is Miao'er. She is Chen Hua's daughter, when she left Haoyan Valley. The family was intercepted and killed, and Miao'er's father and mother fought bloodily in order to cover the family, and the last ...... was the last "Speaking of later, Chen Chong was already a little difficult to continue.

Looking at the beautiful and refined girl, her head and eyebrows lowered, and she had her own talent in the quiet, Chen Feng nodded: "Yes, people are precious and self-respecting, as long as you don't feel sorry for yourself, others will naturally not look down on you." ”

"Miao'er thanked the second uncle for mentioning it. ”

The girl was blessed, and she didn't say much with her head down.

"Chen Feng, Uncle Rong Xuan asked me to discuss with you about Miao'er's draft girl, what do you think?" Chen Chong hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously.

Chen Feng smiled slightly bitterly: "I can only say that entering the Great Xia Palace is not the only way out, the key is to see her own thoughts." ”

"Little girl, you have to think about it, as the saying goes, once you enter the palace, it is as deep as the sea, and now you can't bear the burden of the family, and with your second uncle here, it won't be your turn to come out. Ruan Yun said to Chen Miaoer with a smile.

"Miao'er wants to participate in the draft. ”

The girl's expression was extremely calm and indifferent, and she had obviously made a decision early.

"It's really uncute, even if you are allowed to enter the Great Xia Palace, if you don't have a family background, you will only be a slave, and then you will know what it is difficult to move an inch. Ruan Yun's face showed a little playfulness.

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb, and it will not be your turn to take care of the affairs of the Chen family. Chen Feng's face sank, showing dissatisfaction.

"Chen Feng, since you have come back, why don't you go to the Zongfu for a walk?" Seeing that Ruan Yun's face was not good-looking, Chen Chong hurriedly coughed in embarrassment.

"These days, I heard that the family is busy with the matter of sending immortals again, and some people from the immortal sect come and go, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to go. Chen Feng said with a sneer.

"Sending the Immortal Gate has always been a family tradition, and it is also a good thing to have the opportunity for the younger generation to go out and meet the world and experience it, but Chen Meng doesn't seem to plan to let the family leave Cangbi City......" Chen Chong asked as he observed Chen Feng's expression.

"Let the family affairs take their course, and when they subside for a while, I'll leave. Chen Feng did not hide his thoughts.

"Will you come back, then?"

Chen Chong took a deep breath, and seemed to be mentally prepared for Chen Feng's response.

"Time is enough to change a lot of things, and by the time I come back, I'm afraid the family will already be a mess. Chen Feng's words were not very certain.

"There is one more thing, I think it is better for you to know the Tao, I heard that someone is coming from Haoyan Valley, I am afraid that Chen Meng will make something......" Chen Chong looked worried.

Chen Feng nodded with a wry smile helplessly: "I know what to do." ”

"The previous conflict seemed to be a battle between the Chen family and Tianshamen, but I don't know what the Dao Great Xia Dynasty thought about this matter!" Just as Chen Chong was really worried about it, a guard of the Chen clan knocked on the courtyard door in a little panic and walked in.

"What's so alarming?"

Chen Chong's face was ugly on the surface and scolded the guards, but a bad premonition rose in his heart.

"Fourth master. The Great Xia Dynasty is coming, and they will come here soon......" The guard said to Chen Chong with a little panic.

Before Chen Chong, whose expression changed, spoke again, Chen Feng had already stretched out his hand to suppress it. He laughed and said, "There's no need to be so nervous, that black-robed old man is not a good thing at first glance, everyone will be punished, let's see what the people from the Great Xia Dynasty say." ”

"Not only Yan Cangzhou, but even the Sixteen Prefectures of Luoyan are now the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, and after the previous war, the people of the dynasty did not come to the door immediately. It's just that the existing people in Cangbi City are not weighty, Chen Feng. You must not be too contemptuous, I heard that there are many immortal cultivation sects in the dynasty, and you must also act according to the face of the Xia clan. Chen Chong got up and reminded.

"Qin Shilong, the lord of Yancang Prefecture, arrives ~~~"

A loud announcement sounded outside the small courtyard, just as Chen Feng's face suddenly stood up. A fierce middle-aged man. Meteors have already strode into the courtyard.

Just from the title of the lord of Yancang Prefecture, people can hear the unusual.

The reason why the Chen clan had a conflict with Tianshamen was because of the unresolved position of the lord of Yancang Prefecture.

This time, when the black-robed old man and the six brothers of the He family escaped, the Great Xia Dynasty directly sent a Yancang Prefecture lord, which is a bit intriguing.

Seeing the fierce middle-aged man, he has a big belly like an iron ball, which is bigger than Chen Meng's. Chen Feng couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Although the middle-aged man has a restrained breath, he is mighty in his gestures. But let Ruan Yun see that he was a powerful monk in the early stage of the Middle Heaven Realm.

"See the ...... of the Lord of Qinzhou"

Chen Chong lifted his robe and led everyone to kneel on one knee to pay homage to the middle-aged man.

Although Chen Chong and the others were overwhelmed in their hearts, their expressions were extremely respectful, and they didn't dare to be rude to the middle-aged man in front of them.

"Hmm. ”

The sturdy middle-aged man just responded in a nasal voice gently, calmly accepted the worship of Chen Chong and a few others, and turned his eyes to Chen Feng, who was slightly bowed with his fists in his fists.

Compared with Chen Feng, Ruan Yun looked more single, she didn't even have a courtesy, her beautiful eyes showed the gaze of an elf, and she looked straight at the middle-aged man.

"I've heard about your Chen family's troubles in Cangbi City, do you want to overthrow the imperial power of the Great Xia Dynasty?" Qin Shilong's eyes were calm and powerful, and he was not moved by Ruan Yun's gaze in the slightest.

"Lord Mingjian of Qinzhou, our Chen family has been bullied by Tianshamen, and it is a last resort to have a conflict with it, and we have tried our best to make up for it afterwards, let alone dare to have any disrespect for the imperial power of Great Xia. Chen Chong tried his best to show his composure and replied to the middle-aged man.

Although the corners of the middle-aged man's mouth turned up to show a playful smile, he did not bring arrogance: "The things you have made have even shaken the Sixteen Prefectures of Luoyan, if the Xiu Immortal Families existing in the territory of the dynasty are like you, then wouldn't the entire dynasty be in chaos?"

"There are a lot of conflicts in the world because of conflicts of interest, can you manage it? Instead of acting prestigious here, it is better to say what ......you mean directly" Chen Feng pursed his lips and said, which made Chen Chong and the others look shocked.

"Ha Lu Ha~~~ Sure enough, it's a hero out of a young man, Chen Feng, since you don't like to go around the bend, then listen to me, in order to punish your Chen clan for the turmoil caused in Cangbi City, within two days, the Chen family must hand over twenty middle-grade spirit stones to compensate those affected by the battle, and the burden of rebuilding Cangbi City will also be counted in the compensation of this spirit stone. The middle-aged man said with a hearty smile.

"Teenager? This huge amount of compensation is not something that a teenager can afford, it is better for you to directly say that you will give you twenty middle-grade spirit stones. Chen Feng was extremely improper, took out a small mirror and took a look.

"If the dynasty is uncontrolled, the world will be in turmoil, think about those innocent people who were affected by the sword power of the dragon, although there are a lot of twenty middle-grade spirit stones, but I, Qin Shilong, will not move the slightest compensation, if you are not at ease, you can let the people of the Chen clan supervise it, if there is any spirit stone left, it will be directly handed over to the dynasty household. Although Qin Shilong seemed a little domineering, he was not unreasonable.

Feeling the pressure brought by the middle-aged man's eyes, Chen Feng was slightly stunned, and then put away the small mirror: "Twenty middle-grade spirit stones, it's not that our Chen family can't afford them, but what I want to know is, what about paying the spirit stones, and what if you don't take out the spirit stones?"

"If your Chen family is willing to accept the punishment of the dynasty, I can make a proposal to Lord Xia, so that your Chen family can manage the affairs of Cangbi City and enjoy peace, but if you refuse to take out the spirit stone, no matter how powerful the monks of your Chen family are, the dynasty will definitely destroy the Chen family. The middle-aged man had a straight face, without the slightest hint of bluffing.

"Just a Cangbi City Lord, you, the Lord of Yancang Prefecture, can decide, what other dynasty to mention, you should know Lu Dao, that black-robed old ghost, and the six brothers of the He family ran away, if someone comes back to seek revenge in the future, or what if it is difficult for the Chen family?" Chen Feng said later, with a sinister smile in his eyes.

"As long as the Chen family can obey the arrangements of the dynasty, the dynasty will ensure that the Chen family is stable and prosperous for a lifetime. The big-bellied middle-aged man opened his eyes slightly, stared at Chen Feng and smiled.

"Is it a lifetime? The promise is too happy, but it makes people a little distrustful, two days later, the twenty middle-grade spirit stones will be compensated in full, you wait." Chen Feng grinned slightly, and his smile looked a little weird.

"Obeying the decision of the dynasty will only benefit the Chen clan, and if anyone from your family enters the Great Xia Palace, they will definitely be treated well. The middle-aged man seemed to know the Chen family very well, and glanced at Chen Miao'er.

Regarding the seemingly ordinary communication between Chen Feng and the Lord of Cangyan Prefecture, Chen Chong and the others had been kneeling and did not get up, but they were apprehensive several times.

Not to mention that twenty mid-rank spirit stones are an extremely large amount of cultivation resources, even every change in the mood and tone of Chen Feng and Qin Shilong, the city lord of Cangbi, all affect the life and death of the Chen clan. (To be continued......)
