uncle.
Uncle.
The other middle-aged people and two young people in the hall also quickly stood up and bowed to the old man.
uncle
The middle-aged man at the head of the group spoke cautiously:
But did our noise disturb you, sir?
Upon hearing this, the elderly man with a youthful face and white hair glanced at the people in the hall and sighed.
What's the point of you all arguing here?
The matter of Qingxu is not over yet; Dalang has also disappeared. It has been half a month, and his fate is still unknown.
As he spoke, he paused, tapping his cane, and emphasized, "..."
In any case, we have to come up with a solution instead of letting things fall into chaos internally and making ourselves a laughing stock in front of outsiders.
Hearing his words:
The people in the hall fell silent at the same time.
uncle.
The middle-aged man at the head of the group, with a grave expression, shook his head and said:
We understand what you're saying.
But if we had a solution, we wouldn't be stuck here at a loss, arguing with each other.
He paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said:
In any case, nothing can happen to Dalang!
If all else fails, we'll have no choice but to grovel and send a message to that guy.
Upon hearing this, the elderly man with white hair and a youthful face sighed:
We're all family, why does it have to escalate like this?
He knew very well:
After being expelled from the Divine Capital, these families banded together to survive in Central Capital.
Many years later, they also multiplied and expanded their lineage.
However, the attitudes of the three generations towards Chen Zhengxing in the Divine Capital are not entirely the same:
For example, he himself was plagued by old ailments, was very old, and didn't have much time left. He had already let go of what he needed to let go of long ago.
His nephews were all survivors of the great calamity in the Divine Capital, and it would be a lie to say they harbored no resentment towards Chen Zhengxing.
But after all, they were cousins who grew up together, played together since childhood, and had a close relationship. Over the years, the past has faded like the wind, and the hatred from back then has not been much left.
What truly brooded over and fueled their resentment was:
They were among the few remaining relatives of Chen Zhengxing, yet Chen Zhengxing had never visited them even once in all these years!
They didn't even send a word of greeting, let alone take care of them!
Despite having such a powerful relative in the Divine Capital, they were isolated and ostracized in the Central Capital.
With Chen Zhengxing's strength, even if he were punished and in disgrace, he could easily get them to endure such hardship by asking someone to put in a good word for them.
I watched Zhengxing grow up, and I know his personality well.
He is not a cold-hearted person who cuts off all feelings; on the contrary, he values his family very much, but he keeps his feelings hidden in his heart and does not easily reveal them.
The old man slowly spoke:
In my opinion, over the years, he has mostly been afraid to face us, afraid that we still hate and resent him, and has subconsciously been avoiding us.
But deep down, he must still be thinking about us.
As long as we send him a message, he will definitely help if it is within his power; there is no question of him being subservient or servile.
Hearing his words:
yes!
The round-faced young man couldn't help but say:
Our uncle is clearly incredibly Heaven-reaching and a natural backer for us. What's there to hide? Meow Meow said.
Another young man chimed in, echoing:
That's right, if we had contacted Uncle Zhengxing sooner, our situation might have improved a lot by now!
Not only will my cousin's disappearance never happen, but even Qingxu's situation will never occur!
As the younger generation in the family tree, their thoughts are completely different from their parents':
They were born in Central Capital and never experienced the great calamity that occurred back then. They only learned about it from their fathers. They didn't feel hatred, but over the years they had many complaints about their fathers' ideas.
Since there is such a powerful relative in the Divine Capital, why not contact them sooner?
If the other party doesn't contact you, can't you take the initiative to contact them?
They had had enough of the overt and covert exclusion within the Central Capital and had long wanted a powerful patron.
The middle-aged people present exchanged glances and fell silent, their feelings extremely complicated.
Just then:
Rumble
A deep, rumbling sound, like muffled thunder, resounded through the sky and echoed from afar.
What was that sound?
Everyone in the hall instinctively turned their heads to look:
Through the main gate of the hall, one could see an incomparably luxurious golden imperial carriage descending from the sky and landing in front of the Taihe Garden.
this
Everyone present was momentarily stunned.
This police car is clearly equipped for important figures.
But why would such an important figure from Central Capital Yangchuan grace their Taihe Garden with such a visit without any apparent reason?
The next moment:
A figure flew out from the imperial carriage, letting out a loud shout that echoed in all directions:
Shaojun Chen Clan has arrived! Quickly come out to greet him!
What?!
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall was taken aback and looked at each other in bewilderment.
The news of Chen Shaojun's arrival Central Capital Central Capital had already caused a sensation throughout the city moments before, and they had naturally heard about it, but they hadn't paid it any mind.
after all
Who is Chen Shaojun? Even the three major figures, including the city lord, treat him with utmost respect.
Their lineage doesn't even have a single powerful figure; how could they possibly have any connection to the lofty and unapproachable Chen Shaojun?
However, to their utter surprise:
The renowned Shaojun of the Chen Clan, famous throughout the Desolate Continent, actually took the initiative to seek them out!
this
A hint of confusion flashed in the eyes of several middle-aged men:
Why would Chen Shaojun grace my Taihe Garden with his presence?
They simply couldn't understand what could possibly attract Chen Shaojun to their weak lineage.
The old man took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
Let's not worry about that for now.
Shaojun Chen Clan is here! We should hurry to greet him and be sure not to be impolite.
The rest of the people in the hall reacted instantly:
Yes, my uncle is right.
Let's hurry and go greet the Shaojun.
The group, led by the old man, hurried to the main gate of Taihe Garden.
Outside of Taihe Garden:
Um?!
Chen Qingyu frowned and reprimanded:
Why act so arrogantly?
I am here to visit my elders and relatives, not to interrogate anyone.
The high-ranking official from the city lord's mansion who had acted on his own initiative was instantly terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat and kneeling on the ground in a panic, repeatedly saying:
"Shaojun; please forgive me, my Shaojun. I was just being presumptuous."
Get up, and don't let this happen again!
Chen Qingyu waved his hand and spoke calmly.
yes.
The high-ranking official stood up, stood with his hands clasped to the side, eyes fixed straight ahead, shrinking back like a quail.
Chen Qingyu then got up, dismounted from his imperial carriage, and personally stood in front of the door to wait.
