My enemy's style is wrong

Chapter 73

Early the next morning, Chen Xiao visited the door in person. He only said that the younger generation came to visit the elders, and he had no intention of flattering him. He even vaguely showed some literati character. Yin Chengyu saw him, and his evaluation of him was slightly higher. layer.

Lin Xiuran has relaxed a lot these days, so he didn't put up his usual airs of restraint. He also talked a lot more casually with Chen Xiao. After some chatting, he found that Chen Xiao was a little bit He is really talented and practical, not to mention that as a parent official, the rule is rich and stable, so it is no wonder that he has already become a county guard at such an age.

But since this is the case, Lin Xiuran felt a little confused again. Chen Xiao was unable to cultivate because of his poor aptitude, and because he was a bastard who was not valued by his father and disliked by his aunt, so he simply gave up the fairy road and became an official in the secular world, but if so , he should be regarded as a mortal, and there were such precedents in the cultivation world in the past, but after choosing mortals, in order to avoid unnecessary karma, he generally no longer has any contact with the immortal sect. It is inevitable that there will be some connection, but Liu Tingzhi is his uncle after all, so the relationship is already far away, let alone Lin Xiuran as a cousin?

Although Chen Xiao didn't say what he wanted, Lin Xiuran always felt that he must have something else to ask for.It's just that this matter may involve the secrets of other people's families, Lin Xiuran didn't want to ask too much, since Chen Xiao didn't take the initiative to mention it, he just pretended that he didn't know.

Of course, Chen Xiao's visit this time was not just for chatting. After exchanging greetings, he presented a jade slip, saying that the grandmother at home heard that his nephew was here and missed him very much, and invited him to stay for a few days.

Now that the news that he was in Moling had spread, it was appropriate to take the initiative to visit the elders.Guangling, where the Chen family lives, is only about half a day away from Moling, and they can leave at any time, but after all, it is the first time for Lin Xiuran to visit the elders, so he has to prepare well, lest there is any disrespect, and it will make others look down on the Lin family's upbringing .

Yin Chengyu was somewhat resentful. Before coming to Moling, the two had agreed to stay here for a while, and he had planned a "two-person world" early on. He didn't expect to meet relatives within a few days of staying here. All his original plans were disrupted.

Liu Tingzhi, on the other hand, never sees the end of the dragon. Since drinking and feasting with them on the winter solstice, he has been silent for a few days. When he received his message again, he had already returned to the East China Sea. Lin Xiuran had no choice but to go by himself. Chen family.

Originally, Lin Xiuran planned to let Yin Chengyu go there with him, but it happened that Yin Chengyu received a letter from Baizu in the past few days, and was worried about how to avoid Lin Xiuran. Seeing that he was unwilling, Lin Xiuran thought that he was impatient with these exchanges of favors, so he didn't force him, but said that he would come back after a few days and asked Yin Chengyu to wait for him in Moling.

The Guangling Chen family is also considered a first-class famous family. When the agreed day came, Chen Xiao personally brought a car to pick Lin Xiuran up early in the morning. The beast's red-eyed horse soared into the air as soon as it came out of the alley, and arrived in Guangling within half a day.

Looking down from mid-air, Guangling is also a bustling scene, with flying eaves, bucket corners and pavilions, and the Chen family's mansion is built around the mountains. Compared with the Xihe where the Lin family is located, it is more Jiangnan style.

The car landed in front of the door. As soon as Lin Xiuran jumped out of the car, someone greeted him and said with a smile, "This must be Xiuran's cousin? I am your eldest cousin Chen Yuanting."

Chen Xiao hurriedly bowed his hands and said "Father" respectfully.It's just that his father looks like a young man in appearance, but Chen Xiao himself is limited by his aptitude, and he already looks like a middle-aged man, and he looks even more out of place when standing together.

Although Lin Xiu'an's aptitude was almost the same as that of Chen Xiao's, there were various pills to maintain his youthful and handsome appearance. From this point of view, I'm afraid that it was really difficult for Chen Xiao to be at home, and he didn't even have any pills to brighten his face.

Chen Yuanting took Lin Xiuran to walk in together affectionately. Before he reached the house, Lin Xiuran heard the ringing sound of pendants colliding. A beautiful lady stood up and helped her tall bun. Smiling and authentic: "This is Xiuran, right?"

Lin Xiuran guessed that she was his aunt, and hurriedly greeted her. Mrs. Liu accepted his gift graciously, and then she took Lin Xiuran to the seat and said very kindly: "I have been in seclusion for more than ten years. When I left the customs, I saw that Xiu Ran, who was as big as a kitten when he was just born, has already formed a pill."

Seeing that Lin Xiuran came alone, Mrs. Liu seemed a little disappointed, and said angrily, "Azhi also said that Xiuran already had a Taoist companion, and she wanted to bring them here together, so I'm afraid she's talking nonsense again... You uncle, I have been out of tune since I was a child."

When they met for the first time, Lin Xiuran couldn't let Liu Tingzhi take the blame for him, so he had to explain: "Xiu Ran and senior brother have not yet married, so they can't be regarded as Taoist couples, so they haven't invited senior brother to go with them to meet the elders."

Mrs. Liu looked him up and down, and said with a chuckle: "Sure enough, he is Lin Maozhi's son. Although his brows and eyes look a bit like Ah Wu's, his serious appearance is exactly the same as your father's."

Lin Xiuran was not sure whether her words were pure emotion or sarcasm, so he just smiled and didn't answer, and Mrs. Liu didn't care, leading him to recognize a few cousins, and later, The Chen family hosted a banquet to welcome Lin Xiuran, the head of the Chen family also arrived, and Lin Xiuran paid homage to his uncle.

I don't know if it's because Yin Chengyu is not around, but Lin Xiuran ate this meal very much and felt a little uninspired.After the meal, Mrs. Liu tried her best to invite him to stay, but Lin Xiuran couldn't refuse, and it was getting late, so she temporarily stayed in Guangling.

Yin Chengyu was so busy that he couldn't sleep all night. As soon as Lin Xiuran left, he sent the cooks from the outer courtyard home to rest for two days, and then called Lu Wei and brother Lu Yan over overnight.

Lu Wei and Lu Yan are not as skilled as Baizu because of their low cultivation bases. They were only assigned to do some odd jobs before, but Yin Chengyu still wants to reuse them in the future after all. He always finds an opportunity to practice. After some discussion, Liu Tingzhi's incident happened. Although they couldn't go to East China Sea to find out Liu Tingzhi's details, they could still find out about Qi Shuhuan's whereabouts.

Qi Shuhuan's name is still unknown to most people, but the sudden collapse of the Liaozhou Secret Realm caused a sensation. Yin Chengyu didn't expect to find Qi Shuhuan with the two of them, and only asked them to scout around for information and gather information. .

As for Baizu, he has been monitoring Lin Feimo in Xihe, but because of the strict security of the Lin family, there has been no progress. Yin Chengyu is also not late, and told him to be careful not to be caught by the Lin family, so he stopped asking.

Taking advantage of Lin Xiuran's absence for a few days, he still hoped to make the jade hairpin that he thought about before, but he was not yet proficient in carving techniques, so he didn't dare to directly use a knife on the thousand-year-old cold chalcedony, so he first I bought a basket of jade stones of various sizes and materials, but after a day or two of hard work, most of the carvings have already been scrapped. Fortunately, the carved lines are finally smoother, and I can try to carve after a few more days of practice. up.

After carving out the general appearance of the jade hairpin, it has to be tempered before it can be refined into a magic weapon. After all, it is intended to be used as a "token of love". The best thing is that he is afraid that there will be some flaws, which will not show his deep affection for Lin Xiuran.

The bright moon was in the sky, and the entire Xihe River was shrouded in the hazy moonlight. The whole city was covered with silver, and the surroundings were all white.The Lin family's mansion is protected by formations. Except for the snow scene specially left in the garden and other places for landscaping, the rest of the place is warm and pleasant. It feels like early spring when you are in it.

A small emerald green snake walked quietly on the stone steps. Because of the formation, the ground was very warm. This little snake was not affected by the severe winter during its movements, and it still sneaked into the house nimbly. In the middle, he climbed on the beam of the house and saw that there was no one in the house. The snake raised his body and "hissed" twice, swam around the beam for a while, and retreated down the long way.

As soon as it landed on the ground, a bamboo basket came down head-on, trapping the little emerald green snake inside.

The formation was reinforced on the basket, and the Green Snake struggled hard, but failed to escape after all, and fell to the ground stiffly as if in a coma.

"In this weather, you little snake don't go to a cave to hibernate, what are you doing here?" Lin Feimo opened the basket with great interest, and poked the green snake, "Don't pretend to be dead , can you understand human language? If you continue like this, you will be boiled into snake soup, the soup is fresh and the meat is tender, and the taste... yo, are you awake?"

Knowing that he might not be able to escape, the snake shrank slightly and curled up into a ball. Seeing it like this, Lin Feimo couldn't help laughing, reached out and picked up the trembling green snake, and threw it into the In a densely woven bamboo basket.

Baizu suddenly lost contact with his beloved pet, and almost couldn't resist rushing into Lin's house to rescue the pet.This emerald snake is considered to be the most spiritual among all the snakes he raises. It has never made a mistake, how could it be caught by Lin Feimo?

But after all, the Lin family is heavily guarded. No matter how anxious Baizu is, he dare not really take the risk to sneak in. The previous incident has already alarmed the snake. If he acts rashly again, he is afraid that Yin Chengyu's entire plan will be ruined if he is not careful. .

Fortunately, he didn't wait long, Lin Feimo went shopping in the city, and left Lin's house alone, Baizu finally got the chance, seeing Lin Feimo entered an alley unsuspectingly, rushed over impatiently, wanting to Find a chance to steal the green snake out.

Unexpectedly, when he entered the alley, there was no one there, Baizu was shocked, rushed forward and looked around, but he couldn't find any trace of Lin Feimo.

Footsteps suddenly sounded behind him, Lin Feimo stood at the entrance of the alley, holding a bamboo basket in his hand: "This, is it yours?"
