"Chen Yumeng of the Chen family greets senior."
Chen Yumeng stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Chen Minghe.
Then he said, "My father went hunting in the mountains with two uncles from the Chen family of Fengshan."
Chen Yumeng's voice was neither humble nor arrogant, but respectful and polite.
At this moment, Chen Minghe's expression softened slightly as he scanned the little girl in front of him with his divine sense.
A glint of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
This girl is only twelve or thirteen years old, yet she has already reached the seventh level of Qi Refining. Even in the main family, her talent is considered quite good.
Then, the gloom on his face lessened a bit, and he asked, "Did you come here seeking refuge from Qingzhou?"
"Qingzhou?"
What place is that?
Chen Yumeng's bright, watery eyes were full of questions.
"We came from the Northern Tuan City. Our home was destroyed by a monster, so we moved here,"
Chen Yumeng made up a reason to try and get away with it.
"Heh." Chen Minghe sneered. Although the little girl in front of him acted very well, she couldn't fool his eyes at all.
"When I was in the Golden Core stage, I traveled in the Northern Territory for a hundred years and had never heard of a place called Tuan City."
Chen Minghe's voice held a playful tone.
He traveled in the North for a hundred years, visiting countless cities, large and small. Among them, is there a place called Tuan City that anyone can remember?
He said that just to bluff these people.
Both the injuries on these people and their attempts to conceal their origins suggest that this collateral branch has an unusual background.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Chen family members heard Chen Minghe's words.
A storm raged within him.
When Chen Minghe spoke of his Golden Core, he had spent a hundred years wandering in the Northern Territory.
This means he is at least a Golden Core cultivator.
It might even be a Nascent Soul!
They, a bunch of weaklings who were only at the Qi Refining stage, actually raised their weapons against a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Fear arose in the hearts of many.
But no one backed down. Having come this far with the Chen family, they had already disregarded life and death.
“Everything Yu Meng said is true. She did indeed come from the north of Tuancheng, a few months ago…”
Chen Yumeng spoke again, her voice firm.
She had already seen through Chen Minghe's deception.
Although her origin story was indeed fabricated, Diming was real.
There really is a small town in the North called Turkestan.
After entering Yunzhou, they also resupplyed in this city.
That's why she was able to respond so confidently.
"...The city gates of Tuancheng were breached by demonic beasts, and my father and I had no choice but to escape."
Chen Yumeng recounted her escape in detail, partly true and partly false, which felt quite realistic.
Even Chen Minghe's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt.
Could it be that I'm imagining things?
Chen Minghe narrowed his eyes, looked at Chen Yumeng, and suddenly asked, "Do you know Chen Tianwen?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Yumeng's pupils shrank, but she still stubbornly shook her head: "We don't know him, we don't know this person!"
However, Chen Minghe noticed all the changes in her eyes.
"interesting……"
Chen Minghe smiled slightly.
The change in Chen Yumeng's eyes just now has completely betrayed her!
She definitely knows Chen Tianwen.
Actually, knowing Chen Tianwen isn't a big deal.
After all, with those two battles outside the Purple Meteor Ruins, Chen Tianwen's name had spread almost throughout the entire Yunzhou.
The few branches of the collateral lineage I visited these past few days have all heard of Chen Tianwen's existence.
But the little girl in front of him, whom he clearly knew, said he didn't!
That's the real problem.
Chen Minghe had a vague feeling that this inconspicuous little family was the one he was looking for!
"Since we don't know you, there's no need to keep you around."
Chen Minghe's expression suddenly turned cold.
An invisible pressure surged from all directions, carrying a suffocating weight that pressed down on everyone's hearts.
This pressure even made the old lady of the Chen family outside the courtyard feel a little flustered.
"I'm giving you one last chance. Do you know Chen Tianwen?"
Chen Minghe's voice turned icy cold, and combined with the suffocating pressure, he seemed like a death god crawling up from the underworld.
Although Chen Yumeng knew she was far beyond her peers, she had never faced such a situation before.
Her eyes instantly turned red, and tears filled her entire eye sockets.
"My brother has already been taken away by you, what more do you want?"
Her voice was trembling with tears.
The man's unreasonable attitude and obsession with Chen Tianwen made her subconsciously think that he was a pursuer sent by the Xu family.
"Your brother?"
You're saying Chen Tianwen is your brother?
A look of shock flashed across Chen Minghe's eyes.
However, Chen Yumeng was immersed in grief at the time and did not hear what he said at all.
"We've already fled from Qingzhou to here, why won't you let us go..."
Chen Yumeng burst into tears, releasing all the pent-up grievances in her heart.
Upon hearing the keywords "Qingzhou" and "fleeing," Chen Minghe's eyes widened immediately.
The time and the location matched.
The point that doesn't add up is that the girl said Chen Tianwen was her brother.
Chen Tianwen's strength suggests he's an ancient monster who has lived for an unknown amount of time.
How could his sister be just a little girl at the seventh level of Qi Refining?
However, there are only two days left until the agreed ten-day period.
