Chapter 7 [In front of me]
Shen Mansion, Guanyun Pavilion.
Chen Yuan, the head of the Shen family, was standing on the high attic, looking at the street view of Jieyun City outside the window.
Jieyun City covers a large area, with residences stretching for dozens of miles. Standing on a high place, it is hard to see at a glance.
Chen Yuan looked at Jieyun City in front of him, his eyes flashed with greed.
"Dad, are you looking for me?"
At this time, a pleasant woman's voice came from behind.
Chen Yuan slowly turned around and looked at his already graceful daughter who was already standing behind him.
"Ran'er, yesterday's father scolded you in front of his clan members was a helpless move. I hope you don't blame him."
Thinking of the scene of being scolded by his father yesterday, Chen Suran couldn't help but feel a sense of grievance on his pretty face and said angrily: "Dad, I've said it long ago. It's all Lu Ye who offended Mr. Ma himself, what's the matter with me?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan just smiled and said, "My good daughter, what are you thinking about in your heart? Can't you see that as a father?"
Looking at Chen Yuan's meaningful eyes, Chen Suran was speechless for a moment, and then pouted her cherry lips and refused to look at Chen Yuan.
"It's nothing if you use Lu Ye to stimulate the boy of the Ma family. Whether it's for the future of the family or for you, I hope that the things between you and the boy of the Ma family can be accomplished. However, it will be difficult to end if things go so far. The Lu family is considered to be some forces in Jieyun City. Lu Rulie is not a good person. He protects his nephew very much. His father was just acting like a show yesterday for outsiders."
"Then Lu Rulie is just the head of a third-rate family. Is it worthy of your fear of your father?"
Chen Suran was a little puzzled because the Shen family was one of the three major families in Jieyun City, and there were many strong people in the clan, so the Lu family could not compare with the Shen family at all.
"My silly daughter, the things in this world are not something that anyone who has a big fist can bully the weak. It is important to know that under heavy pressure, there will be a rebound. Do you know how much manpower and financial resources are needed to uproot a third-rate family? Can the benefits you get make up for these losses?"
Chen Yuan's words immediately left Chen Suran speechless.
People of her age naturally would not think so deeply.
Chen Yuan sat down, picked up the teacup on the table, drank it, and said, "Dad meant not to let you be a human being with your tail between your legs. Instead, he was teaching you that after you bully someone, you should give the other party some benefits appropriately and apologize. In this way, the other party will not only not hold a grudge against you, but also in his heart, but also luckily you did not go into it."
Upon hearing this, Chen Suran fell into deep thought, as if he was digesting these words.
Chen Yuan continued: "When you stand at a high position, your little gift will be regarded as a treasure. Taking advantage of this layer of advantages is the foundation for our Shen family to be able to establish a foothold in Jieyun City for a hundred years."
"I know dad."
"You are not young anymore, and it's time to get married."
Chen Yuan's unforgettable sentence immediately made Chen Suran blush.
"Dad, what are you talking about? Ran'er is only sixteen years old and doesn't want to get married so soon."
Chen Yuan rubbed Chen Suran's head in a doting manner and said, "Is that right? I see how you look at the boy from the Ma family. I'm afraid I won't mention my father today. He will come to propose marriage in a while."
Upon hearing this, Chen Suran's cheeks became even redder.
"Dad, what did you say suddenly? "
"Ma Shangwen is young and has already reached the sixth level of the Ningling Realm. He is also the eldest son of the Ma family. His future achievements are limitless. He is indeed very suitable to be my son-in-law of Chen Yuan."
"So, Dad, did you agree?"
Chen Suran's words are like not asking for advice.
"I'm going to ask you, my baby daughter, if you agree, how can you bear to break up the couple for your father?"
"Of course I am willing. Young Master Ma is a talented person, both civil and military, rich in family background, powerful and powerful. In Jieyun City, there is no other person better than him. Unlike Lu Ye of the Lu family, he has some talent, so he wants to eat swan meat!"
Chen Suran said, and did not forget to step on Lu Ye.
Chen Yuan could see that his daughter was worried about Lu Ye's destruction of her reputation.
However, he wasn't going to say anything.
After all, although the Lu family has a little influence, it is not enough to let Chen Yuan look at him directly. The only thing he respects is Lu Rulie, the head of the Lu family.
As for Lu Ye.
Just an ant.
"Master, Miss, there are guests outside the yard."
While the father and daughter were talking, the voice of a maid came from outside the door.
"Who is coming?"
"It was Mr. Chen Yi and Mr. Lu Ye who said he was here to find you, Miss."
"Lu Ye?"
The father and daughter looked at each other, both of whom were surprised when they saw each other's eyes.
"Lu Ye, isn't he just keeping an injury and unable to get up from bed?"
Chen Yuan thought for a while and suddenly said, "I heard that a few days ago, the Ma family sent elixirs to the Lu family. I think it was some elixirs for healing. Unexpectedly, the Ma family attaches great importance to the Lu family."
His son injured the person, but he even sent medicine to his door.
For a front-line family like the Ma family, it has become a condescending reign.
"Could it be that the Ma family is trying to win over Lu Rulie?"
What Chen Yuan didn't know was that the pills sent by the Ma family to the Lu family were just ordinary bone-generating pills. Although this pill is quite expensive, it would never allow a person with multiple fractures to recover as he had in a short period of time.
"Ran'er, go and explore Lu Ye's tone. The Ma family is doing things more and more difficult to understand now."
Chen Suran nodded when she heard this.
"Then my daughter will take her leave first."
After saying that, he stepped back.
Chen Yuan returned to the window again and returned to his previous look as if he looked down at the whole city. This time, he was looking at the west direction of the city, where the Ma family was located.
...........
Outside the courtyard gate, Lu Ye and Chen Yi were waiting.
Lu Ye observed the scenery and architecture of Chen Mansion with interest.
The Shen family is worthy of being one of the three major families in Jieyun City. The houses and buildings here are all very grand and exquisite, which shows the intention of the people who designed this mansion.
In comparison, except for a pool of goldfish in the Lu family, the rest of the Lu family cannot be compared with here at all.
After all, Lu Ye was once a native of the earth and had a different kind of complex about houses.
When I have money in the future, I will build a mansion that is as grand as the Shen family.
While living in people, a fish pond is created.
From then on, Isn’t it beautiful to fish every day and make a fortune in silence?
Of course, the premise is that you have enough money.
Among the cards Lu Ye has caught in the past few days, there are nearly ten pill cards.
Among them, there are three spiritual elixirs alone.
If you encounter a suitable buyer, one can be sold for one hundred spiritual jade.
In this world, monks trade jade and spirit stones as currency.
One hundred jade coins can be converted into one spiritual jade, and the price of one spiritual jade is equivalent to a low-grade spiritual stone.
Of course, the values of spirit stones and jade coins in different regions will be somewhat different.
And one hundred spiritual jades are enough to provide all the expenses that an ordinary person needs from birth to old age and death.
Just as Lu Yepan was thinking about how to sell the pills he could not use.
Chen Yi's voice sounded: "Brother Lu Ye, this person has been in for so long. I see, Su Ran's cousin probably doesn't want to see you."
Chen Yi saw Lu Ye looking around and thought Lu Ye was unable to sit and stood there, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
The person he was talking about was the maid next to Chen Suran. As soon as the two of them arrived at the gate of the yard, they asked the maid to come in and report.
Chen Yi also knew in his heart that Lu Ye was likely to be rejected, so he always accompanied Lu Ye here with the mentality of watching the show.
"After all, you are the one who embarrassed her so much. I see, Su Ran's cousin will probably not forgive you."
Forgive me? No need.
Is Lu Ye asking for her forgiveness? He is just a reward from the greedy system!
However, Lu Ye also knew that he had to get Chen Suran's consent to reach the sign-in position.
Just now, he followed Chen Yi and crossed the Shen Mansion all the way, and saw the Shen family's strict vigilance.
Anyone who guards the door has the strength of about the third level of the Spirit Condensing Realm.
Lu Ye’s cultivation is above them, and they can judge their cultivation based on their aura.
And among the Shen family's guards, there were many monks whom he could not see through.
It is almost impossible to sneak in here by yourself.
Unless your strength is strong enough to make everyone here fall down.
But if you have that strength, where do you need to sneak in?
Thinking of this, Lu Ye called out the system interface and opened the map.
Just see the white dot on the map, which represents your own white dots, almost intersecting with the red dots at the mission location.
There is still more than ten meters away, and you can reach the sign-in point by yourself.
