After dinner, Xiao Chen was just about to go back to his room to rest when he met his seventh uncle.
"Xiaochen, come to my room and talk?"
Xiao Lin looked at his most beloved nephew and asked with a smile.
"OK."
Xiao Chen nodded. If nothing unexpected happened, he would return to Longhai tomorrow. He wanted to see him again, but he didn't know when that would be.
So, it’s good to chat.
The two came to Xiao Lin's room and sat down.
Xiao Lin made some tea, and the two sat opposite each other, drinking tea and chatting.
"Xiaochen, in the past few years, you have changed a lot."
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Chen and said with emotion.
"Haha, as you grow up, you naturally change a lot. Am I more handsome than before?"
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"That's not what I'm talking about."
Xiao Lin shook his head.
“…”
After hearing Xiao Lin's words, Xiao Chen fell silent.
"Perhaps, back then..."
"Uncle Qi, don't mention the past. I have forgotten it."
Xiao Chen shook his head and put down the teacup.
"Okay, then let's not talk about it."
Xiao Lin nodded.
"However, the Xiao family is your home after all. Are you really not going back?"
"The Xiao family is not my home. My home... hehe, I don't seem to have a home."
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly, but the villa in Zhonghai appeared in his mind, where there were Su Qing and Su Xiaomeng... That place gave him the warmth of home.
"Don't say that. No matter what, it can't change the..."
"Uncle Qi, if you want to talk to me about this, then I'd better go back and rest."
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he pretended to stand up.
"Okay, sit down, let's not talk about this anymore."
Xiao Lin waved his hand.
"Why did you come to Xuanyuan Town this time?"
"The old fortune teller asked me to come, and if I didn't come, he got angry with me."
When Xiao Chen thought about this, he felt a little resentful towards the old fortune teller. "What did you predict? Why don't you tell me so that I can be mentally prepared!"
As a result, he didn't prepare anything, just wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and then he rushed in headfirst.
What he couldn't accept the most was that he ended up with a broken knife.
"The old fortune teller..."
When saying these words, Xiao Lin's handsome face showed respect, and there was even a bit of admiration in his eyes.
"It's your chance that you can follow him."
"Hehe, that's not what he said."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Hmm? What did the old man say?"
"He said that he was very lucky in his previous life to have a grandson like me... He also said that he wanted to go back to his ancestral grave to see if there was any smoke coming out."
“…”
Xiao Lin was speechless.
"Uncle Qi, do you also know the old fortune teller?"
"I was lucky enough to meet him once and he gave me some pointers."
When Xiao Lin mentioned this, his face was still full of gratitude.
"oh."
Xiao Chen nodded. He didn't feel anything about this. He stayed with the old fortune teller all day long, bragging all the time... So, it was difficult for him to understand their admiration and gratitude towards the old fortune teller.
"Xiao Chen, are you always with him now?"
"No, I've been traveling around these years, and recently I went to Longhai."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Long Hai? What are you doing there?"
"I had some personal stuff to do, so I went."
"After you leave Xuanyuan Town, will you return to Longhai?"
"right."
"Don't follow me back..."
"Stop, stop, stop, Uncle Qi, if you keep saying that, I'll really leave."
Xiao Chen rolled his eyes. Why isn’t it over yet?
"Forget it, as long as you are happy."
Xiao Lin sighed, he knew that Xiao Chen still had obsession in his heart.
"I will go back, but not now. When I reach the state of Huajin, I will step into the door of the Xiao family again!"
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly.
“…”
Xiao Lin looked at his nephew and said nothing more.
"By the way, Uncle Qi, I have something to ask you."
Xiao Chen thought of something and said.
"What's the matter? Ask me."
"You... like Fairy Ning?"
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Lin and asked.
Although Ning Kejun had already said that the two of them had no relationship, Xiao Chen was still a little unsure, so he simply asked again.
"Who told you that?"
Xiao Lin was stunned, and then his expression became a little strange.
"Isn't that what's being spread out there? It's said that Xiao's son, Qilin, has not married yet because of Fairy Ning..."
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Well, actually this rumor is not groundless."
"What? You really like her?"
Xiao Chen's eyes widened and his heart skipped a beat.
"I mean, the fact that Fairy Ning has not married yet is not groundless rumors. What does it have to do with whether I like her or not?"
"So do you like her or not? If you don't like her, why haven't you married her yet?"
Xiao Chen rolled his eyes.
"Because I haven't found a woman who is more beautiful than Fairy Ning in my eyes, so I haven't married yet."
"What?"
Xiao Chen was a little confused. What was going on between these two people?
"Haha, I never realized you're such a gossiper."
Xiao Lin looked at his nephew and said with a smile.
“…”
Xiao Chen rolled his eyes. Why would I gossip? If I hadn’t slept with Fairy Ning, I wouldn’t bother asking about these trivial matters!
"Okay, since you're so gossipy, I'll satisfy you... It's said outside that I won't marry for her, but that's not right or wrong."
Xiao Lin smiled and took a sip of tea.
"Back then, there were rumors in the martial arts world that Fairy Ning was the most beautiful woman in the ancient martial arts world. I didn't believe it, so I wanted to go and see her... Later, I met her, and she was indeed stunningly beautiful. But one time when I was drunk, I told people that the title of most beautiful woman was just made up."
Xiao Lin was still a little embarrassed when he mentioned this.
"I don't know how Fairy Ning found out about this, so when I met her later, she asked me if she was the most beautiful woman in the ancient martial arts world?"
"Then what?"
Xiao Chen listened with great interest and couldn't wait to ask.
"Because I said that before, it's hard for me to change my words. I can only say no."
Xiao Lin said with a wry smile.
"Have you ever seen anyone prettier than Fairy Ning in the ancient martial arts world?"
Xiao Chen's expression also became strange.
"No."
"and you……"
"Alas, if I had bowed my head at that time, this matter would have passed! But when has your seventh uncle ever bowed his head to anyone? So, I made a bet with her, saying that if I can't find a woman prettier than her, I will never marry in this life!"
“…”
Xiao Chen was speechless. Is this even possible?
"Then what?"
"And then? And then what? And then I never met a woman prettier than Fairy Ning, so I never married her!"
"So do you like her or not?"
"I don't like her. I am very clear about this. Although she is indeed extremely beautiful, I just admire her. There is no love between men and women."
Xiao Lin shook his head with certainty.
"That's good."
Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling relieved.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Xiao Chen shook his head: "Seventh Uncle, is it that serious? You made a bet and paid for most of your life?"
"Not really. The main reason is that I really haven't met someone I like... It's said that a beautiful woman is in everyone's eyes. As long as I like her, no matter what she looks like, in my eyes, she will be prettier than Fairy Ning."
Xiao Lin shook his head and said with a smile.
"Well, Uncle Seven is very conscious."
Xiao Chen gave a thumbs up.
"Hey, why are you so concerned about Fairy Ning and me?"
Xiao Lin thought of something and asked.
"No, no, Fairy Ning and I know each other, so I'm just curious, just asking casually, um, just asking casually."
Xiao Chen hurriedly shook his head.
"Is that really all?"
Xiao Lin felt something was wrong.
"Of course, that's all."
Xiao Chen nodded vigorously. He had no plans to tell anyone about his relationship with Fairy Ning for the time being.
"oh."
Xiao Lin was skeptical, but he didn't ask any more questions.
Afterwards, the uncle and nephew chatted a lot and had a pretty good time.
An hour later, Xiao Chen left Uncle Seven's room.
As soon as he came out, he saw Xiao Yu, who must have come to look for his seventh uncle as well.
Xiao Chen and Xiao Yu both paused and looked at each other, but no one spoke.
In the end, Xiao Chen nodded to Xiao Yu and left.
Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Chen's back with a complicated expression.
Xiao Chen returned to the room and took a shower.
Just as he was about to make a call, there was a knock on the door.
"who?"
"Second brother, it's me."
Xiao Chen stood up and opened the door, smiling: "Brother."
"Yes, here you go."
Nie Jingfeng nodded and handed the knife to Xiao Chen.
"Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission."
"Haha, thank you, brother."
Xiao Chen took the knife and put it on the table.
"I heard from Big Fatty and the others that you went out with Mr. Long to visit friends today?"
"Well, Junior Brother was going to visit some friends, and I had nothing to do at the inn, so I followed him."
Nie Jingfeng nodded, but didn't say that he felt safer with Old Long.
"Brother is awesome. If I had this knife, I would never dare to go out."
Xiao Chen gave a thumbs up. After all, he was once the number one. That was awesome.
Nie Jingfeng's face turned red and he waved his hand: "It's okay, those scoundrels, who dares to take the knife? Come and I will beat one to death!"
"Yeah, big brother is so majestic and domineering!"
Xiao Chen praised Nie Jingfeng a few more times, and finally praised him so much that he could no longer sit still.
"Well, I'm leaving now. I have something else to do."
After Nie Jingfeng finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
Xiao Chen looked at Nie Jingfeng's back, feeling a little strange. He didn't seem to have said anything, right? Why did his elder brother seem to be running away?
He closed the door and called Su Qing.
He will be able to go back almost tomorrow, and he needs to ask about the situation in Longhai.
"Hello, Su Qing."
"Um."
"What are you doing?"
Su Qing took her cell phone and closed her laptop.
"I was just dealing with company matters. How are things going over there?"
"Almost."
"Where's my eldest brother?"
"He... went back."
Xiao Chen hesitated and said.
"Going back? Isn't he going back to Longhai with you?"
Su Qing asked with a frown.
"It seems like there's some urgent task, so I left again."
Su Qing frowned even deeper. Left again?
While Su Qing was talking to Xiao Chen on the phone, Su Xiaomeng was lying on the bed, also talking to Xiao Ning on the phone.
"Xiao Ning, are you okay tomorrow?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"Didn't I tell you last time? Accompany me to the Haifushan Cemetery on the weekend."
"Ah? Are you really going?"
"Really? Don't waste time. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
"All right."
Su Xiaomeng hung up the phone and clenched her fists: "I hope it's just my imagination."
