After I left home, I became invincible
Chapter 8 I must make up for Chen Feng
"what?!"
Chen Yunxi's brows furrowed even deeper. Her first feeling was that Uncle Fu was talking nonsense. "No matter how wealthy our Chen family is, we are still one of the most prominent cultivation families in Lihuo City. How could we possibly be short of food for Chen Feng?"
"Does he want to eat dragon liver and phoenix marrow?"
Uncle Fu hesitated again and again, "This..."
Chen Yunxi glanced at him and slowed down his tone: "Uncle Fu, just say it. No matter what, you are an elder of my Chen family. I won't blame you."
She thought about what Chen Qiu said during dinner last night, and thought that Uncle Fu wanted to complain and say bad things about Chen Feng. However, the next moment, what Uncle Fu said made her expression freeze.
"Then I'll tell you..."
“Third Miss, the eldest young master is really having a hard time!”
Uncle Fu seemed to have made up his mind and sighed softly, "You said our Chen family is so wealthy and powerful, and they treat us servants so well, but why is it that the eldest young master is so short of food?"
"Have you forgotten? A few years ago, the eldest young master angered the lady, so he could no longer eat at the table. He could only eat leftovers... but sometimes there were a lot of leftovers, and sometimes there were only a few."
"Sometimes, if the young master is late, like yesterday, he'll be fed to the dogs. How can he possibly eat enough? He has to go out and find food on his own..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yunxi's face turned pale, her whole body trembled, and her face was full of disbelief. She had never imagined that she was famous in Lihuo City for "protecting her shortcomings", but her dear brother was living in such dire straits.
As the eldest son of the Chen family, Chen Feng couldn't even get enough to eat.
She had just thought that Uncle Fu was going to say something bad about Chen Feng, and even she subconsciously believed that Chen Feng was a born bad guy, but the truth broke her cognition.
Looking at Chen Yunxi's expression, Uncle Fu's eyes were complicated. Finally, he made up his mind and said, "Young Master Chen Feng went out to find something to eat, but he didn't have any spirit crystals, so he could only work illegally for others..."
"But there were too many people during the day, and he was worried about being recognized and affecting the Chen family's reputation. So he could only go to the dock at night and work as a laborer for the docked merchant ships."
boom!
These words resonated like thunder in Chen Yunxi's skull. She widened her eyes and her breathing became rapid. "No, it's impossible..."
"Even if he eats leftovers, he still has a monthly salary. He's the eldest son of the Chen family, with a monthly salary of several thousand spirit crystals. Why would he need to do hard labor or work illegally for others?"
She pulled the corners of her mouth and looked at Uncle Fu with a sad smile, "Uncle Fu, you are kidding me, right? Chen Feng, he is the eldest young master of our Chen family, how could he live such a miserable life?"
Uncle Fu smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Third, we servants don't know the details, but the eldest young master's monthly salary... didn't you say before that we don't have to pay him?"
"I remember it was about three or four years ago, wasn't it? You personally told Lao Guan, the accountant, that we no longer needed to pay the eldest young master a monthly salary, so no one gave him any money. Not to mention spirit crystals, there wasn't even any earthly gold or silver!"
Chen Yunxi's pupils shrank slightly. She was about to refute, but it was as if a thunderbolt flashed through her mind, and a scene flashed through her mind, making her tremble even more violently.
She remembered.
Three years ago, she studied the art of talismans and secluded herself at home, but encountered shackles and could not make a breakthrough for a long time. Chen Feng got the news from somewhere and heard from others that using old talisman paper can increase the probability of breakthrough.
Therefore, he used his own small treasury to buy himself a stack of old talisman paper...
At that time, I was unable to break through and thought that Chen Feng was deliberately mocking me, so I tore up all the talisman papers he bought and told Chen Feng that he was ignorant and was spending money recklessly.
In order to vent his anger, he asked the accountant Guan to stop Chen Feng's monthly salary. Later, he successfully broke through and forgot about the matter.
"In other words, since then... Chen Feng has never received a monthly salary? Moreover, he can't even eat enough? All of this was done by me?"
Chen Yunxi's pretty face was pale. Looking at her slender white hands, her Daoist heart, which she had always been proud of, seemed to be crumbling. She suddenly thought of the scene when she tore off Chen Feng's old talisman papers.
……
"What's the point of using these old things? If you can't break through, then you can't break through. Are you mocking me by bringing these things here?"
The smile on the boy's face standing at the door of the room froze instantly, and he quickly waved his hands to explain, "Third sister, I, I didn't mean that. I heard from others that this might be useful for you..."
"If you don't like it, Third Sister, I can find another way!"
At that time, when Chen Feng, who was only fifteen years old, looked at her, he was full of admiration and respect. But what was Chen Yunxi's response? It was a cold and disdainful indifference, and a sneer of shame.
"Get out of here!"
"What do you, a loser like you, know?! My Chen family's spiritual crystals weren't given to you to squander like this. You have a lot of money, right? Then I'll have Manager Guan stop your monthly salary right now!"
"Get away from me, you loser! Don't come near me! Maybe the reason I can't break through is because I'm too close to you!"
After finishing speaking, Chen Yunxi closed the door directly. The last scene in the picture was the young Chen Feng standing in front of the door, his hands hanging down weakly, and his bright eyes dimmed little by little.
It's like a once brilliant flower that is now withering.
……
"I...how could I do such a thing?!"
Chen Yunxi pulled herself away from her memories, and her heart couldn't help but tighten slightly, as if a big hand was squeezing her heart, making her breathing become a little rapid.
Regardless of whether those old talisman papers were useful or not, they were obtained by Chen Feng to help him, but he tore up his hard work without any explanation. Not only did he not reward him, but he also punished him.
Even Chen Feng, who was already struggling at home, was forced to work illegally at the dock every night just to have enough to eat.
The eldest son of the Chen family works illegally just to make ends meet!
While Chen Feng was sweating on the dock, trying not to bring shame to the Chen family, what was she doing? What were the eldest and second sisters doing?
What is his most beloved younger brother Xiaoqiu doing? !
Thinking of her reputation as a "protective" person in Lihuo City, she blushed even more. She felt as if her past reputation was slapping her hard. An idea was born in her mind -
make up.
I must make it up to Chen Feng.
"Uncle Fu, do you know where Chen Feng usually goes?"
……
The immortal fate is in the middle.
Under Chen Feng's persistence, Mu Linlin finally gave up the Xinghe Courtyard, packed her luggage, and moved... next door.
Xianyuanju has six independent courtyards, which are originally adjacent to each other. Generally speaking, few people live in them. After all, the price is too high. Usually, only Mu Linlin lives there.
Now that Chen Feng lives in the Xinghe Courtyard, Mu Linlin simply moved next door. In her words, this makes it convenient for her to break in at night at any time... No, she can come and ask Chen Feng for advice on alchemy at any time.
Although Chen Feng was a little worried that his secret would be discovered, he had no choice but to agree.
"Mr. Chen, to express our gratitude to you, Xianyuanju, in addition to the three-month residency rights at Xinghe Courtyard, I have also applied for a gold card for you..."
After Mu Linlin moved out, Manager Tan took out a golden card and put it into Chen Feng's hand.
"With this gold card, we will give you a 30% discount on any item at Xianyuanju from now on."
"And every month you can get seven days of free use of the advanced training room."
Hearing this, Chen Feng's eyes lit up: "This, this is too valuable..."
Manager Tan smiled slightly and said, "This is nothing. From today on, Mr. Chen, you are a friend of our Xianyuanju."
He is not a fool. Chen Feng looks so young, maybe even younger than Mu Linlin, but his attainments in alchemy are so high that his future achievements are immeasurable.
Now, I can exchange Chen Feng’s friendship for just a gold card, which is definitely worth it.
Chen Feng thought about it and agreed.
Manager Tan added, "Mr. Chen, please come with me... We need to inquire carefully about some details in the cave with the cultivators of Xianyuan Residence."
Chen Feng did not refuse. The two of them walked towards the reception room of Xianyuanju. Before they entered, they heard a coquettish voice.
"Chen Feng, why are you here?!"
"You actually followed me! Are you disgusting?"
