Yujing City is dotted with shops on both sides of each street. Some shops sell gorgeous robes, some shops sell all kinds of magical weapons, some shops sell spiritual beasts and demon pills, in short, there are all kinds of strange things. .

Looking around, there are monks at the Golden Core and Void Core stages everywhere, and occasionally you can even see great masters at the Nascent Soul stage. As for the strong ones at the God Transformation stage and even higher realms, even if such great powers stand in front of you, You can't recognize it in front of me.

"Stall owner, do you know how the Chen family can leave?"

A man wearing a bamboo hat and covering his face with a black veil asked the stall owner who was selling spiritual fruits on the roadside.

The stall owner looked up at the man in front of him, shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Just as the man was about to leave, the stall owner quickly said: "But if you buy me some spiritual fruits, I can think about it, and maybe I can figure out how the Chen family should go."

The stall owner suspected that the man across from him was an outsider, so he wanted to make a killing.

The man was not angry about this. He took out a high-grade spiritual stone, threw it to the stall owner, and said, "Pick me some good spiritual fruits."

The stall owner took the spirit stone and was immediately stunned, his body was trembling, and he trembled: "This, this, this young master, I can't find it."

"keep the change."

This generous foreign man is naturally Gu Shen. He is now famous in the five regions. Many monks have seen his image. If he enters Yujing City without concealment, it will definitely cause a sensation. Although it is not a big deal, There was some trouble after all.

Nowadays, most of his body is made up of top-grade spiritual stones, and there are also some high-grade spiritual stones. As for the middle-grade or even low-grade spiritual stones, he has long been disdainful and has never carried them with him.

"Thank you, Master, for the reward. Thank you for the reward, Master! I will help you select the best spiritual fruit."

The middle-aged stall owner was very excited. He didn't even have a shop. He just set up a stall on weekdays, and all he had in his hands were some scattered spiritual stones. Compared with the high-grade spiritual stones, they were far inferior. Today, he never thought that there would be such a thing in the sky. Dropped the pie.

The stall owner packed the selected high-quality spiritual fruits, handed them to Gu Shen with both hands, and asked: "Sir, which Chen family are you talking about just now? Is it the Chen family of Shangshu, or the Chen family of Confucian sages?"

"The Chen family of Confucian sages."

"Sir, come here, I will show you the way."

"Uh, what about your stall?"

"Young master, the spiritual stone you rewarded me is worth a thousand times more than the fruits I have. Today, I will serve you exclusively. It's okay if I don't open this stall."

Gu Shen didn't refuse anymore.

The middle-aged stall owner put away his stall and led Gu Shen the way.

Some people around noticed what happened here, and they were really envious of the stall owner. Why didn't this good thing happen to him? What a fate!

The door of Chen Mansion was closed, and it was quiet in front of the door, which seemed a bit deserted.

Since the death of Confucian saint Chen Yong, the Chen Mansion has not fallen into a situation of people leaving for tea. On the contrary, it has become more noisy than before. dignitaries from the Han Dynasty came to pay homage to Chen Ye, as well as powerful people from other dynasties and holy places. Visitors also come here from time to time, and there is really a lot of entertainment.

Some people are sincerely grateful for Chen Yong's actions in the Holy City. If Chen Yong hadn't done his best at the critical moment and held back the invincible Yama of the Underworld at the cost of his own life, the situation in the world of cultivation in China would be different now. .

Some people did not accept Chen Yong's love and were not in the Holy City at the beginning, but they knew that many powerful people in the five regions of China and even the emperor of the Han Dynasty were thinking of Chen Yong and wanted to perform well in the Chen family and give the Han Dynasty a good performance. The emperor leaves a good impression.

Chen Ye didn't like to socialize and was annoyed by such frequent receptions. He simply closed the door and saw no one.

this day.

In the back garden of Chen Mansion.

After Chen Ye read the book, he came to the back garden to enjoy the lotus.

My father loved lotus the most during his lifetime and raised a pond of lotus.Chen Ye didn't like Lian at first and thought she was neither beautiful nor interesting. However, after her father's death, she no longer found Lian ugly. Instead, she felt closer to him the more she looked at her.

She stayed in the back garden for a long time, looking at the lotus flowers in the pond in a daze, thinking of many things for no reason.

In his mind, that figure appeared, majestic and majestic, transcendent in the world.

"I heard that he has reached the realm of the Holy Lord. In a few years, he may really rule the world, become a world-class powerhouse, and create a holy land."

That person was the Young Supreme, and the monks of his generation were far behind him. As long as he was around, all the young monks would have to live in his shadow.

Such a person is destined to shine brightly for eternity.

After a long time, she slowly came back to her senses, smiled and shook her head slightly. Somehow, she thought of him today.

blah blah blah.

Footsteps came from behind.

"Miss."

The maid spoke softly.

Chen Ye turned around and said, "What's wrong?"

"We have a visitor." The maid said.

Chen Ye frowned and said, "Didn't you say no?"

"He said he was an old friend of the young lady. He came here just for an appointment with the young lady." The maid hesitated and said.

Chen Ye raised his eyebrows lightly, a little confused, "My old friend? What does he look like?"

The maid shook her head and said, "I don't know. He is wearing a hat and a veil. I can't see clearly. The voice should be that of a young man."

Chen Ye frowned and thought, had he ever invited anyone else, let alone a man?
Suddenly, his eyes suddenly opened wide, remembering a person and something.

She did invite a man, and only one.

'Could it be him? '

A trace of nervousness and expectation arose in Chen Ye's heart. She looked at the maid and said, "Invite people here -"

Chen Ye paused for a moment before continuing: "Ask his name. If his surname is Gu, he will be taken here. If his surname is not Gu, he will be taken to the hall and then come and report to me."

"Yes."

The maid took the order and left.

After the maid left, Chen Ye paced back and forth by the pool. For some reason, he felt a sense of anxiety filling his chest.In front of the gate of Chen Mansion.

Seeing the deserted appearance of this place, Gu Shen frowned.

Chen Yong was a Confucian sage of the generation who made great achievements in the world. Now that Chen Yong has passed away, will the Chen family face the situation of being left behind?
It shouldn't be like this. Others don't remember this sentiment, but the Emperor of the Han Dynasty should always remember it. If Chen Yong hadn't tried his best to delay Yama in the holy city that day, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty would not have been able to escape that disaster.

Without giving Gu Shen time to think, the door of Chen's mansion was opened from inside, and a delicate woman who looked like a maid invited him in.

Under the guidance of this maid, Gu Shen entered the Chen Mansion.

"Dare to ask the son's surname?"

"My surname is Gu."

"It turns out to be Mr. Gu."

Under the black veil, Gu Shen raised his eyebrows. This maid was so interesting, as if she knew him. But after saying this, the maid said nothing more. Gu Shen didn't ask any questions, and just followed the maid towards the mansion.

"Ok?"

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows slightly.

He found that the maid seemed to be leading him deep into the Chen Mansion. Shouldn't ordinary visitors be led to the hall?Why are you entertaining guests in the backyard?
"Mr. Gu, my lady will be waiting for you in the garden."

When she came to a garden, the maid stopped and said to Gu Shen.

Judging from the appearance of the maid, it seemed that she had no intention of going in with Gu Shen.

Gu Shen nodded and walked into the garden.

In the middle of the garden is a pool with clear water, and above the water are lotus flowers.

There are willow trees growing around the lotus pond, one every two feet away, dancing in the wind.

Facing the garden gate, a slender figure turned his back, with black hair hanging behind him.

"Miss Chen."

Gu Shen shouted.

In front of the lotus pond, the beautiful figure suddenly paused when he heard the voice, then turned around and saw that person.

"Master Gu."

Chen Ye had a smile on her face. Perhaps she didn't even realize it. The moment she saw Gu Shen, the smile naturally appeared on her face. This was a true reflection of her subconscious and a feeling deep in her heart. Portrait.

Gu Shen also smiled slightly and nodded, "Long time no see, Miss Chen. I'm here to keep an appointment."

After the catastrophe of the Holy City, Gu Shen found Chen Ye. Chen Yong had just died at that time. It was when Chen Ye was in the lowest mood and his whole condition was not good. She did not stay outside for long and was preparing to leave the Holy City. Returning to Yujing City, she missed her father at home. When they were separated, she invited Gu Shen to visit Chen Mansion in Yujing City, so Gu Shen came forward this time and joked that he was here to keep an appointment.

"The door of Chen Mansion is always open to Mr. Gu."

Chen Ye said with a smile.

If the servants of the Chen family saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked. Since the death of the old family leader Chen Yong, Chen Ye has never laughed again. Today, Chen Ye actually laughed more than once, and it is obvious that this It is a happy smile that truly comes from the bottom of my heart.

Even Chen Ye himself didn't know what kind of feelings she had for Gu Shen. In short, they were not bad. She often thought of such a person, and when she thought of such a person, she would be in a good mood.

"Thank you, Miss Chen."

Chen Ye turned sideways, stretched out his arms, and said, "Mr. Gu, come and take a look, how does this lotus pond look like?"

Normally, if there are outside guests at home, they will usually be entertained in the hall and will never be brought to the garden in the backyard, because this is a relatively private location, and Chen Ye is the one who allows people to treat guests. Shen led her here, maybe she didn't regard Gu Shen as an outsider subconsciously, but
When Gu Shen just entered the garden, he saw a pond full of lotus flowers. He had just learned that Chen Ye actually liked lotus flowers, but this was normal. He and Chen Ye seemed to have known each other for a long time, but in fact the two of them had met less than once. Very few, only a handful. How can we get to know her in depth when we have only met her a few times?
Gu Shen took a step forward and stood next to Chen Ye. There was a row of willow trees around them, their branches rippling above the water.

Gu Shen looked at the long and straight lotus flowers in the pond, nodded, and said, "It's great to be able to emerge from the mud without being stained, and to wash through the clear ripples without being evil."

Chen Ye was startled when he heard the words, and then he grinded it carefully in his mouth, "It comes out of the mud without being stained, and it washes away the pure ripples without being evil."

If Gu Shen only said the last part, "It's really nice," it wouldn't surprise her. After all, when her father was still alive, guests came here. Many people would praise the lotus in order to flatter their father, but it was just a matter of words. "It's so good." Some literati also composed a poem on the spot, but those poems were far from comparable to the two lines of poems that Gu Shen had just casually recited.

Gu Shen was admiring the beauty in front of him. He had seen many beautiful and magnificent scenery, but at that time, he was mostly traveling alone, but he was not as leisurely as he is now. But the next moment, Gu Shen raised his eyebrows. When I heard Chen Ye's whisper, I suddenly realized that I had been misunderstood by Miss Chen.

"Mr. Gu is really talented, and he can speak easily." Chen Ye praised with a smile.

Gu Shen hurriedly explained, "Miss Chen, please don't misunderstand me. I only got those two lines from the outside, but I didn't write them."

Chen Ye didn't quite believe this. She had read many books and had traveled to all five regions of China, but she had never heard of these two poems. Moreover, even though she had little experience, she had never heard of them. What about the father?My father has really traveled all over the five regions of China. If he really got these two lines of poetry, he would definitely tell them. But I have never heard of them, so even my father doesn’t know.
"Oh?"

Chen Ye raised his eyebrows and said, "I wonder where Mr. Gu heard this?"

Gu Shen was stunned for a moment. He couldn't say that he got it in his previous life, so he could only say: "I heard it from a hermit named Tao Yuanming during my previous training."

"Tao Yuanming?"

Chen Ye frowned. She couldn't find such a person in her mind, and she had never heard of it from her father. Although the five regions of China were vast and there were countless hermits she didn't know about, she always felt that it was Gu Shen himself. Words of humility.

"My father loved lotus flowers the most during his lifetime. If he could know these two lines of poems, he would definitely be very happy. If I inscribe these two lines of poems next to this lotus pond, I don't know if they are appropriate or not. Is Tao Yuanming not to blame?"

Gu Shen shook his head and said, "It's okay, he won't blame me."

The Chinese mainland and the earth are not on the same plane at all. Could Tao Yuanming be able to fight over from another plane?

But when Chen Ye heard this sentence, it had a different meaning. In her mind, she already thought that these two lines of poetry were written by Gu Shen.

"Miss Chen, how are you doing lately? Is everything okay?"

Gu Shen asked, not only to change the topic, but also to ask about Chen Ye's current situation.

The world of cultivation is in great turmoil. Poetry is just a small path, while practice and strength are the main road. He is not interested in poetry.And when he was outside the gate of Chen's Mansion just now, he noticed that the front of Chen's Mansion was particularly deserted. The door was closed and there were few cars and horses. Looking at it, he clearly felt depressed.

If it were someone else's house, Gu Shen would not care about it, but the Chen family is different, not only because of his relationship with Chen Ye, but more importantly, Chen Yong and Chen Rusheng saved his life when they were in the Holy City. This is life. Thanks to his kindness, now that Chen Yong is gone, Chen Ye can't stand being bullied.

If the Chen family is really in trouble, he will have a talk with the Emperor of the Han Dynasty tonight. Now he is qualified, even if the other party is one of the two most powerful men in the world.
