Chapter 87: Provoking

The "home" that Chen Han refers to refers to his home. To be precise, something happened to his sister Chen Wan.

Speaking of which, Chen Han actually had some resentment towards Chen Youniao. The last clan ancestor worship ceremony was supposed to be a good one, but when things came to a close, Chen Youniao had to go into seclusion and did not attend in the end.

This incident made Chen Han lose his face. After all, he made a promise in front of the patriarch Chen Sangong, but unexpectedly failed.

If Chen Youniao really wanted to go into seclusion, it would be better to say that he was the first in cultivation. However, Chen Han was deeply suspicious of this, thinking that this cousin was deliberately letting off the pigeons to avenge the clan's previous neglect. He was too childish.

For a long time afterwards, Chen Han didn't come to see Chen Youniao again. Why did he come here? Are he asking for trouble?

But now that something happened to Chen Wan, after thinking about it, Chen Han still felt that it would be most appropriate to ask Chen Youniao to come forward.

Chen Youniao asked: "What happened? Don't be in a hurry. Speak slowly."

Somehow, after hearing these words, Chen Han felt a lot calmer. He looked up at Chen Youniao and was secretly surprised: cousin Youniao's temperament seemed to have changed, and he was becoming more and more calm. Could it be that he really acted like that a while ago?

In retreat, have you improved your cultivation?

Although he didn't know much about Taoism, Chen Han knew that it was not easy and difficult to make progress. It was really remarkable that Chen Youniao had made progress in a short period of time.

He calmed down and told what happened in detail.

Chen Wan is a knight. She has been fond of dancing with guns and sticks since she was a child. Although she has not really practiced it due to her limited talent and lack of martial arts secrets, she has no problem dealing with ordinary men. She loves to fight against injustice and always tolerates things she encounters.

He never wanted to stand out. With his skills and the influence of the clan, he could always keep things even. Over time, he developed a pampering temperament.

However, yesterday, Chen Wan offended someone she shouldn't have.

"The one Qimei took action to punish was an evil slave who bullied men and women. But the evil slave was from the Cao family and was the henchman of the Cao family's son, Cao Peng. The evil man complained first and then bit him back. Qimei couldn't get angry, so she took action.

I was caught by Cao Peng's men and taken into Cao's mansion. I was anxious and went to rescue him, but I couldn't agree with him and was kicked out..."

Chen Han said with excitement and dissatisfaction on his face.

After hearing this, Chen Youniao quickly understood the whole story and asked, "But the Cao family of the county governor Cao Yuanqi?"

Chen Han said: "In Haidai County, who else has a family other than his? Cao Peng is the only son of Governor Cao, and he has always been arrogant and domineering."

Chen Youniao asked again: "Have uncle and the clan leader known about it?"

Chen Han smiled bitterly and said: "My father and mother are busy with business in other places... As for the clan leader, whether this matter is big or small, there is no need to alarm the elders for the time being. Cao Peng has arrested Qimei, and he will not

Dare to mess around. When I went to see him, he said that young people's affairs should be resolved by young people and asked me to find someone to negotiate with him."

Chen Youniao said, "So you came to me?"

Chen Han nodded: "I came here once yesterday. I originally wanted to go to Yunshan Temple, but it was already late, so I had to give up. Fortunately, you are back today."

After a pause, he then explained: "There are not many outstanding young people in the clan. It is most appropriate for you to be promoted to a Taoist priest with a different status."

Chen Youniao chuckled: "The other party is the only son of Governor Cao, so he may not be selling my face."

Chen Han was anxious: "Cousin Youniao, I know that Qimei had a bad attitude towards you in the past and often made rude remarks, but she has a good heart. And what happened this time was completely bullied by the other party. Now our Chen family is being

Cao Peng detained it and spread it, which made it look disgraceful and had a very bad influence."

In Haidai County, although the Chen family and the Cao family both belong to large families, they are inferior in terms of foundation and heritage. The main gap lies in Cao Yuanqi. A county guard, he is very powerful.

Chen Youniao waved his hand: "I'm not saying no, I'm just stating a fact."

Chen Han sighed. He knew that what Chen Youniao said was true. A mere Taoist priest was not of much importance. There was an old Taoist priest enshrined in the Cao Mansion all the year round. There was a difference between Taoist priests. Chen Youniao was promoted to

How long have you been alive? A while ago, in order to practice martial arts, I went to the clan's nursing school to learn martial arts.

"Cousin Youniao, you come with me first. If things cannot be done, I will think of other ways and find other favors."

"good."

Chen Youniao agreed simply.

Chen Han said: "Without further delay, let's leave now and go to Cao Mansion."

Chen Youniao did not enter the house, but said a few words to Uncle Wang who came out, then asked Wangcai to drive and followed Chen Han to Cao Mansion.

The Cao Mansion is located in another prosperous neighborhood. It has a grand mansion, and in terms of momentum alone, it firmly surpasses the Chen family.

Archways, monuments, inscriptions...everywhere shows wealth.

This was not the first time that Chen Han came here. This time he came, and he still couldn't help but sigh: "Cousin Youniao, look at these. So when it comes to family background, it is not enough for someone to be an official, it is more important to be a high official."

The Chen family has indeed produced some candidates and Jinshi, but it has always lacked a foundation and struggled in official career. It has never produced high-ranking officials with real power. Therefore, it has always been vigorously developing family studies and cultivating handsome young people.

, I hope to cultivate the seeds of reading and be named on the gold medal list. If I just ask for one more Jinshi, the situation will be different.

It was an unusual and unexpected blessing for Chen Youniao to obtain the status certificate of a Taoist priest. It is a pity that he did not make the breakthrough in the Laoshan Taoist Temple, otherwise, it would have been a different situation.

Chen Youniao glanced at this rich and powerful mansion, his mood was calm and unmoving. Ever since he refined his true skills, many of his thoughts and ideas had undergone subtle changes. To put it bluntly, he was standing in a high position.

Now, the perspective of seeing things has changed. This is true when looking at people and things.

It's not that Chen Youniao has become cold, arrogant and aloof, it's just that he has a detached state of mind.

"My young master is not here, but he is at Ming Xin Guan. The young master has given orders that if anything happens, you can go there and find him."

Menzi crossed his arms and spoke slowly.

After being rejected, Chen Han was filled with anger, but he had no choice but to take Chen Youniao to the Mingxin Temple again.

This is a Taoist temple built in the city. It is not open to the public and is purely a private place. The Taoist temple’s host, Taoist Mingxin, is worshiped by the Cao family.

Being able to invite a real Taoist priest to worship is a reflection of the strength of the family. Not only must it be rich, but it must also be powerful. For example, the Song family and the Chen family do not have this confidence. If they cannot afford it, it is difficult to hire one.

Got it.

"Hehe, Chen Han, you invited someone here so quickly? Tsk, is it just this guy with hairless hair?"

Cao Peng is a young man in his early twenties, not tall, with a gentle and fair appearance, but a pair of triangular eyes ruins his entire face, giving his temperament a sinister tone.

Chen Han said angrily: "Master Cao, please speak more politely."

Cao Peng didn't take him seriously: "You are worthy of being polite to me? Oh, by the way, I heard that the Chen family recently gave birth to a young Taoist priest. I guess he is this boy."

Chen Youniao said: "Pindao is Chen Youniao."

This title is quite strange.

Cao Peng looked him up and down: "It is indeed you. You came just in time. Let me test whether you are really capable."
