My substitute female CEO

"Wait." Chen Nan noticed the important point.

"After a hundred years, how long has it been since the last fruit ripened?"

"You are very keen." Xia Hou stood up and pointed at the date on the calendar and said: "In two days, it will be exactly one hundred years."

"That is to say...there are only less than three days left now..."

Xiahou Yishu nodded.

"But, I didn't think that much at all. The fairy tree has very little influence on me. All I have to do now is revenge, at least for now."

"Then...you actually don't know Ye Hu's purpose anymore?"

Xiahou Yishu gave an affirmative answer.

"Yes, I don't know, but what I do know is that Ye Hu is also the owner of the fruit, but he is very strange."

"strangeness?"

"Yes, he was not affected by the power of the fruit. I don't know exactly what happened. However, one thing I am sure of is the matter of the four magic circles."

Qi Lin took out a few photos from his pocket.

"These were taken by me from high altitude, take a look."

Xia Hou compared several photos back and forth, and then said with confidence: "These four magic formations are of the same type. I have seen them in the records of my grandfather."

"Then, what is the specific function of the magic circle?" Qi Lin asked.

Xia Hou thought for a while and finally recalled it.

"If I remember correctly, this magic circle was actually used by the fairy trees in the past to release their fairy power."

"Release the immortal power?"

Xia Hou Yishu explained: "Yes, the reason why we choose the guardians of the fairy trees is to protect the magic circles where these fairy trees release their fairy power. Only the guardians know about these magic circles. Ye Hu is a guardian, so he knows It’s normal.”

"Then...why does Ye Hu use these magic circles to absorb the true energy?"

Xiahou Yishu shook his head. Of course, he didn't know Ye Hu's specific plan.

"To be honest, I don't know what Ye Hu is going to do. That matter may be beyond our knowledge. I also roughly understand the reason why Ye Hu wants to expel the Xiahou family from the Eastern District of the North Territory. Only in that way can he rest assured Boldly carry out his plan.”

"Then what should we do now!" Qi Lin panicked. It was clear that the two of them were just here to prevent the gods from selecting, but they actually encountered such a thing at this time.

Chen Nan is still thinking.

"Ye Hu... what that guy's words... mean..."

"Words? What words?" Xiahou Yishu asked in surprise.

At this time Qi Lin also recalled it.

"Yes, Chen Nan, didn't Ye Hu say something to you alone before? What happened?"

When Chen Nan saw the two men asking such aggressive questions, he had no choice but to reveal the inside story. After all, he felt that there was nothing to hide, but it was just a little hard to accept when he first heard it.

"Ye family, he told me a lot about the Ye family's past. In fact, I don't think these are important. It's just that I just feel that the guy is in a strange state."

"Strange?" the two asked in unison.

Chen Nan recalled the scene at that time.

Ye Hu had clearly looked domineering before, but when he and Chen Nan were left alone, Ye Hu seemed to have suddenly put down his disguise again.

How should I put it? That feeling can only be felt by those who are connected by blood. The subtle expression changes on Ye Hu's face.

The originally tense brow suddenly became a little more relaxed, and the corners of the mouth slowly lifted up, and the eyes, which were originally looking domineering, no longer radiated light.

At that moment, Chen Nan felt that the person sitting in front of him was not the boss of Lin Jiang, an arrogant exorcist, but more like an old man who was tired and tired.

The word "old man" is absolutely correct. Although Ye Hu can use his energy to maintain his own form, his deeds are already over a hundred years old.

He who was once so prosperous has now become a bit senile.

Ye Hu asked Chen Nan to sit down.

Then he began to talk endlessly about the past when he was a child and what happened to him in the Ye family.

This lecture starts in half an hour.

Naturally, Chen Nan only responded from the sidelines.

After all, Chen Nan had never been exposed to some of the things he talked about. After all, due to the age difference, Chen Nan looked at Ye Hu more like an old man who was nostalgic for the past and liked to complain from time to time.

But the conversation changed again.

Ye Hu said earnestly as if he was entrusting something to Chen Nan: "I am old. After living for so long, I have felt the warmth and coldness of the world. Enough is enough. I am content with this life, but... I There is still a hurdle in my heart, little brother Chen Nan, I wonder if you can help me."

"Within the ability." Chen Nan was very official and perfunctory.

Ye Hu smiled and took out a photo from his trouser pocket.

Above is a photo of Ye Hu and Ye Tiezhu.

"My child is still young and doesn't understand anything, so I don't plan to tell him anything. He can just spend his life happily like this, but..."

Ye Hu suddenly looked at Chen Nan with pleading eyes.

"Chen Nan, this is a request. In the near future, there may be some changes, but those have nothing to do with my son. So, by then, if my son really has any difficulties, can you please Please help if you can.”

"This..." Chen Nan was obviously confused by Ye Hu's words.

"For the sake of Mr. Ye, I beg you!"

Ye Hu trembled and wanted to step forward, but Chen Nan quickly pushed him down on the chair.

"I understand what you said. Don't worry, although Ye Tiezhu is your adopted son, I will treat him as a member of the Ye family."

Hearing Chen Nan say this, Ye Hu was very happy, and there was even a smile that couldn't be hidden in the corners of his eyes.

"That's great! That's great!"

……

Chen Nan told the two people in front of him everything.

Qi Lin was confused at this time: "Why does it feel like... this Ye Hu seems to be asking for help..."

Xiahou Yishu also felt the same way.

"Well, yes, I feel the same way. It's like the last request of a dying person."

Chen Nan already had the answer in his mind at this time, combined with what Xiahou Yishu said about the fruit and the strange magic circle.

Chen Nan thought of an extremely shocking fact.

"If my guess is correct, Ye Hu will probably die together with the fairy tree."

"With the Immortal Tree? Die together?" Obviously, Chen Nan's hypothesis was a bit too bold, and the two of them couldn't believe it for a while.

Chen Nan continued to explain to the two of them: "If what I think is correct, those four magic circles are indeed used to absorb the true energy. But the purpose of absorbing the true energy, I think it should be..."
