Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Chapter 446 Moving to the topic
In the living room, sunlight shines through the window lattice on the elegant bamboo mat, and the air is filled with the faint fragrance of ink.

Xue Churan's light green dress swayed gently, like lotus leaves swaying in the breeze.

Her face is as gentle as jade, and there is a heroic spirit between her eyebrows, but she does not lose her feminine beauty.

Xue Churan and Chen Cong sat opposite each other. Their eyes met and they seemed to have returned to the past.

She took a sip of Xiangxueling tea, and the tea fragrance spread in her mouth, making her thoughts clear.

Putting down the tea cup, she looked up at Chen Cong, her eyes shining with gentleness and emotion.

"Brother Chen, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years. When we meet again, Brother Chen has been promoted to the title Douluo. Congratulations!" Xue Churan's voice was filled with emotion.

Chen Cong smiled slightly and said: "I didn't expect Churan to come to Chang'an City to serve as the city lord. I was really surprised when I found out yesterday. I was very grateful to Churan when I was in Tiandou Royal Academy. I was able to advance thanks to Churan's permission. I read many books as my foundation."

Xue Churan shook his head slightly and said, "Brother Chen is overrated. It's my honor to be able to help you."

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they were back in their prime.

Xue Churan recalled that Chen Cong came to Tiandou Royal Academy for exchanges in order to break through the artistic conception of the sword formation master in the future. As the teaching director, she gave Chen Cong great help and had a deep friendship.

"This time, I would like to first thank Brother Chen and Longma Mian for their help. Otherwise, the Ji Liu family would have been doomed, and I would not be able to escape the blame." Xue Churan turned to the topic and said.

Chen Cong and Long Ma waved their hands at the same time, and Chen Cong smiled and said: "Churan is serious, we are all a family, there is no need to be so polite."

Xue Churan nodded, changed the subject, and said: "Brother Chen, we really have something important to discuss. The Crimson Church attacked Ji Liu's family last night, and I roughly understand the process."

"Moreover, fires broke out in many facilities and important places, causing quite a bad impact. What does Brother Zhichenchen think of this matter?"

Hearing this, Chen Cong knew that what Xue Churan wanted to ask was actually his knowledge of the Crimson Church.

Chen Cong frowned slightly, it seemed that he was about to talk about something practical. Fortunately, he had been mentally prepared for this.

He said after a moment: "I have also experienced this. The strength of the people coming from the Crimson Church is indeed extraordinary. The people they come this time should be the main force of the original religion, led by the Yan family and the You family. Their purpose is unknown. , but it’s obviously a conspiracy.”

Xue Churan's face was solemn and he said: "As for the main branch, how many of the Seven Demon Generals of this generation are there in their faction?"

Chencong said in a deep voice: "Four! Yan family, You family, Ming family, Yuwen family."

Zuo Tingang interjected: "He's become stronger again."

He frowned slightly and continued to ask: "I would like to ask Brother Chen, how much do you know about the Crimson Church? What is the background and strength of their main force?"

When Chen Cong heard this, his brows furrowed even more, as if he was recalling the past confrontation with the Crimson Church.

He said solemnly: "The Crimson Church... they recovered very quickly. If it hadn't been for the civil strife more than thirty years ago, they would probably have become stronger. As for the main force of the original creed, their methods have become more obscure, as if I don’t know much about the fluctuations under the abyss.”

Xue Churan nodded and said: "Yes, they are acting strangely. The purpose of attacking the Ji Liu family this time is probably not just simple revenge or provocation. What is the purpose?"

Chencong shook his head slightly and said slowly: "I don't know yet. However, since they have invested so much effort, the Ji Liu family must have something they want. It is estimated that the Ji Liu family themselves don't know it." Chu Ran sighed softly and said: "Yes, this matter involves a lot. Although I have sent people to investigate, I still have no clue. I would like to ask Brother Chen to help me and find out the truth together."

Chen Cong nodded, his eyes firm: "This matter is related to the safety of Chang'an City and the majesty of the empire, so I am naturally bound to do it. Chu Ran, if you need me to do anything, just ask me."

Xue Churan glanced at Chen Cong gratefully and said, "Thank you, Brother Chen. In addition, what I need most right now is clues about the attacker last night. The city gate was closed at that time, but the people of the Crimson Church retreated in an orderly manner, and it was very easy to It’s about to disappear. I don’t know if it has exited Chang’an City now.”

"So, they can attack, poison, and set fire. They can move and retreat so quickly and covertly. It seems that their power in Chang'an City is not weak, it can even be said to be very strong. I would like to ask Brother Chen to use the Chen family's intelligence network , help me find possible suspects."

Chen Cong nodded and agreed: "This matter is the duty of the Chen family. I will immediately mobilize the Chen family's intelligence network to pursue this matter with all my strength."

At this time, Chen Cong seemed to have thought of something, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked: "Rumors are flying everywhere outside, Chu Ran, don't you plan to deal with them?"

Xue Churan smiled softly, as if everything was under control. She shook her head and said calmly: "It's okay, let the storm brew bigger first."

As she spoke, she gently smoothed the wrinkles on her skirt, making every movement look elegant and calm. Her eyes shone with wisdom, as if she had seen the future.

Chen Cong nodded, expressing understanding. He knew very well that as the lord of Chang'an City, Xue Churan had his own sense of proportion and strategy in handling affairs.

He didn't ask any more questions, but changed the topic and said, "Churan, I have some ideas about the future development of the Chen family that I would like to discuss with you."

When Xue Churan heard the words, he showed an interested expression and said, "Oh? Brother Chen, what are your insights? I would like to hear the details."

Chen Cong pondered for a moment and said: "Now that I have been promoted to Titled Douluo, the Chen family's strength has reached a new level. I want to take this opportunity to further expand the Chen family's industry and influence, and at the same time make more contributions to the empire. A big contribution.”

After hearing this, Xue Churan's eyes flashed with joy and said: "Brother Chen has great ambitions, which is really a blessing for the empire. I wonder what Brother Chen's specific plans are?"

Chen Cong said: "I plan to first strengthen the military strength of the Chen family, cultivate more outstanding disciples, and improve the overall strength. At the same time, I also want to enter some emerging industries, such as the research and development and production of soul guides, and those related to soul masters. service industry, etc.”

After hearing this, Xue Churan nodded and said: "These are very good ideas. Soul guides are indeed the future development trend, and the soul master service industry also has broad market prospects. Brother Chen can keep up with the times and seize opportunities. It is really impressive. Admirable."

Chen Cong smiled modestly and said, "Churan is an honor."

Xue Churan asked curiously: "But which service industry will the Chen family enter?"

"Medical materials! My family's medicinal materials are still quite large, and I want to open a medicinal materials market in Chang'an City. These are just some of our preliminary ideas. They need to be further refined and improved and submitted to the city lord's palace. I hope to get your ideas by then. Support and help.”

Xue Churan was heartbroken: "This is what the Chen family wants. The development and production of Horcruxes are just fooling ghosts. I've never heard of your family's achievements in this area!"

She smiled and said: "Brother Chen, don't worry, I will fully support you. Our two families have been friends for a long time. Now that you have been promoted to Titled Douluo, your strength has greatly increased, and you are still in Chang'an City. Our future cooperation will definitely be closer."

"Thank you very much!" Chen Cong thanked him.

Next, the two exchanged views on other matters, and then Xue Churan and Zuo Tingang stood up to leave.

When she left the Chen family's residence, she felt a little more confident.
