"Hell ..."

Xiao Chen looked at the old fortune teller and shook his head.

"In addition to Xiaobai and the others, I plan to take Lao Xue with me and ask the old monk if he wants to go..."

"Can."

The old fortune teller nodded.

"They are quite capable. If you only take care of young people, you will become a babysitter. With them around, many crises can be handled."

"And my seventh uncle, he said he wants to go too."

Xiao Chen said again.

"I don't want to take him, but I don't dare not take him. How about you help me persuade him?"

"Hehe, how can I persuade you?"

The old fortune teller laughed. Apart from him, there was someone else who could control this kid.

"Well, you can just make up some excuse, like the zodiac signs are not compatible, or it's not suitable to travel west recently? If all else fails, then he and the no-man's land are incompatible..."

Xiao Chen said casually.

"Do I need to tell you these reasons? Don't you have a lot of them?"

"Nonsense, I'm not talking nonsense."

The old fortune teller was in a bad mood.

"You also say that our zodiac signs are incompatible? Why don't you say that our horoscopes are incompatible? Do you think this is a blind date?"

"That's fine. You said his horoscope is not compatible with the West recently..."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Get lost... If he doesn't have that kind of luck, how can he pick up the star stone outside the no-man's land?"

The old fortune teller glared.

"Although he is not very strong, he does have some experience in the no-man's land... He should be able to help you if he goes there."

"Okay, then let Uncle Seven follow."

Seeing the old fortune teller also said so, Xiao Chen nodded.

"The last time he went there, after he got the Star Stone, he didn't dare to go any deeper, and he felt a little regretful... This time, he can make up for this regret."

"Anyway, it's time to consider the candidates who will go. Not too few, but not too many. More than ten people will be enough."

The old fortune teller said.

"Why? Isn't it good to have more people?"

Xiao Chen was curious.

"If you can be indifferent to life and death, and can ignore the continuous death of your companions, then you can bring more people with you."

The old fortune teller said calmly.

"Otherwise, every death will have a greater impact on you..."

“…”

Xiao Chen frowned.

"That's not a game. It's a place where one has to live in danger of death. It's normal for people to die... It's not impossible for nine out of ten people to die."

The old fortune teller said again.

"Since you are going, be mentally prepared... Don't think that you are the chosen one, you are extremely lucky, and you can protect everyone. It's impossible."

"Let alone them, even you are not immune to the possibility of falling... I don't stop you because you need to go through some things in order to grow up, and you, do you want to stop them from growing up?"

"It doesn't mean that only when one's strength increases can one grow... Some things, such as life and death, can only make one grow and transform after experiencing them personally..."

"It's not like I haven't experienced this before. Old Su died in my arms."

Xiao Chen looked at the old fortune teller and said slowly.

"Don't worry, I understand what you said."

"That's good."

The old fortune teller said this and looked towards the independent space.

"I hope you won't be like me, climbing to a high place one day and finding that there is no one around me anymore."

“…”

Hearing this, Xiao Chen was shocked. He wanted to ask, but he didn't.

These should be the scars deep in the old fortune teller's heart and should not be revealed.

"By the way, where's your brother? Why didn't you let him come?"

The old fortune teller thought of something and looked at Xiao Chen again.

"Xiao Yu? Uncle Qi wants to train him to become the head of the Xiao family. He is now learning how to do things in the Xiao family."

Xiao Chen replied.

"Haha, your seventh uncle is a man who yearns for freedom... Let Xiao Yu come, it can be regarded as giving him an opportunity."

The old fortune teller said.

"good."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"I'll contact him later and ask him to come over early tomorrow morning."

"Um."

The old fortune teller said this and stood up from the big rock.

"Let's go back."

"Old fortune teller, I have a brother-in-law. Let him come too? Ye Xian from the Ye family, Zi Yi's younger brother."

Xiao Chen said again.

"Haha, okay."

The old fortune teller smiled and nodded, then slowly walked away.

Xiao Chen didn't waste any time. He took out his cell phone and called Xiao Yu first.

After chatting for a while, he told him to come over.

When Xiao Yu heard this, he immediately said that he would come over early the next morning.

"Why don't you ask me why I asked you to come here?"

Xiao Chen smiled.

"Is there any need to ask? If big brother calls me, I will go even if it means mountains of swords and seas of fire."

Xiao Yu said without hesitation.

"Haha, okay, let's talk about it when we get there."

Xiao Chen smiled even more widely. It was not in vain that he loved his younger brother so much.

Then he called Ye Xian again.

Ye Xian was even more excited. He had wanted to go to Longhai for a long time, but his family did not allow him to go.

Now that Xiao Chen called personally, who could stop him from going?

Even the ancestor of the Ye family would not stop it.

"Brother-in-law, wait for me. I'll leave early tomorrow morning. No, I'll leave now... I promise that when you open your eyes tomorrow, you'll see the smiling face of your dear brother-in-law."

Ye Xian yelled.

“…”

Xiao Chen curled the corner of his mouth. This brother-in-law is more ruthless, no, more intimate.

"You didn't even ask me why I asked you to come?"

"No need to ask, brother-in-law, your words are the imperial decree, you tell me to do whatever you want me to do..."

Ye Xian said loudly.

“Brother-in-law, let’s not talk about it for now. I’m going to say hello to my parents and then leave.”

"Don't be so anxious, come back tomorrow... Also, don't sneak away, understand?"

Xiao Chen said hurriedly.

"I must leave tomorrow. I don't want to see you when I open my eyes... I hope that when I open my eyes, I will see your sister."

"My sister is in Longhai, you can see her anytime you want."

"Then listen to me."

"Yes, yes, yes."

“…”

Xiao Chen hung up the phone, shook his head, and jumped off the rock.

…

The next day.

After Xiao Chen woke up, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Ye Xian didn't come.

He was really afraid that as soon as he opened his eyes, he would see Ye Xian.

Get up, wash up and have breakfast.

"You asked Xiaoyu to come to Longhai?"

Xiao Yi asked.

"Yes, the old fortune teller asked him to come here, so it can be considered an opportunity for him."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"It just so happens that Uncle Qi wants to go to the no-man's land with me. He wants Xiaoyu to be the head of the Xiao family, so he can improve his strength."

"Yes, Xiao Mian called me and he personally sent Xiao Yu over."

Xiao Yi said.

"Old Xiao, I think it doesn't matter whether my seventh uncle is the head of the family or not. He is usually not at the Xiao family... The Xiao family has Xiao Mian, Xiao Lu and others, who are enough to handle everything."

Xiao Chen said.

"And Xiaoyu, although she is a little young, she can be stronger if she improves. It is good to exercise more."

"Why, did that kid Lao Qi ask you to say that?"

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows.

"How long has this owner been doing this for? Is he done enough?"

"No, it's my own idea."

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"The Xiao family has its share of people, so why restrict Uncle Qi's freedom?"

"No one restricted his freedom. It was his own choice."

Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Chen and said slowly.

"Besides, it was your father who made Old Seven the head of this family."

“…”

Hearing this, Xiao Chen fell silent.

"Whether the seventh brother will be the head of the family is up to him... As long as he says he won't do it, I, the ancestor, won't restrict him."

Xiao Yi said again.

"However, from what I know about him, he will take on this responsibility until your father speaks."

"No news?"

Xiao Chen was silent for a while and asked.

"No."

Xiao Yi shook his head. He knew what Xiao Chen was asking.

"All right."

Xiao Chen didn't ask any more questions, nor did he say any more.

In the middle of the morning, Xiao Yu and Ye Xian arrived at Longshan at the same time.

This made Xiao Chen wonder, why did these two guys go together?

What a coincidence, isn’t it?

When he asked, he found out that the two of them had made an appointment and came together.

"Brother, what did you call us for?"

Xiao Yu asked.

"Yes, brother-in-law, is there something good?"

Ye Xian also hurriedly said.

"Haha, of course there's something good."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"What good news?"

Both of their eyes lit up.

"Are we going to some secret place again?"

"It's not a secret place, it's right here on Dragon Mountain."

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"Go say hello to Lao Xiao and your sister first, then I'll take you to the back mountain."

"Okay."

The two responded and left the main villa.

"Fifth Ancestor, Third Uncle..."

Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Mian and Ye Jing and smiled.

"Come, have some tea."

"good."

Xiao Mian and Ye Jing nodded, drinking tea and feeling emotional.

Back then, no, in their eyes, Xiao Chen was nothing... just a genius.

Now, whether in terms of strength or status in the world, he is the one they look up to.

It is no exaggeration to say that Xiao Chen calling them "Fifth Ancestor" and "Third Uncle" made them feel a little flattered!

"Fifth Ancestor, Uncle Seven is going to go to the no-man's land with me. I may have to trouble you with the Xiao family's affairs."

Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Mian and said again.

"Just rest assured."

Xiao Mian nodded. He had already learned about this from Xiao Yi.

"Xiao Lin also talked to me before, about his desire to train Xiao Yu..."

"Well, Xiaoyu is still young, and you have to make the decision on the Xiao family's affairs."

Xiao Chen said.

"With you here and the old ancestor here, nothing serious will happen to the Xiao family."

Xiao Mian smiled.

In the past, the Xiao family had only Xiao Yi as their mainstay, and they might be easily shaken in a storm.

And now with Xiao Chen here, the Xiao family... is the most powerful family!

Nowadays, when people in the martial arts world mention the Xiao family, they already think of it as the "first of the twelve aristocratic families."

Why?

It’s all because of Xiao Chen!

"Haha, that's the case for now, but I can't say for sure about the future."

Xiao Chen smiled and didn't mention the matters outside the Heaven too much.

"Third Uncle, you haven't established your foundation yet?"

"I sent Xiaoxian here this time because I wanted to meet the old immortal and ask him for some advice."

Ye Jing said.

"I wonder when he will be free. Can we meet him?"

"Haha, others can't see you, but you're one of my family, can you not see me?"

Xiao Chen smiled.

"I'll take you to see the old fortune teller later."

"Okay, okay, I won't bother you. How about you go and ask first if it's convenient? If not, forget it."

Ye Jing was very humble. He knew that many big shots had come to Longshan to see the old fortune teller.

He... is nothing.
