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

Chapter 754: Opening a Mansion! th Birthday (Part )

On August 18th, the sun shone on Pingkangfang in the east of Chang'an City, creating a golden and brilliant scene.

This is a favorite gathering place for dignitaries, with a superior geographical location and a rare elegant environment.

Chen Cong's Duke's mansion is located in this area where prosperity and tranquility blend together. The stone lions in front of the mansion are majestic and solemn, guarding this noble mansion.

Two or three hundred meters away, on the Moon Watching Tower, a gentle breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness.

Xue Chuxin stood at the edge of the building, her watery eyes gazing at the bustling streets.

She had a graceful figure, her sleeves fluttering in the wind, and she opened her red lips slightly, like a gentle spring breeze, and whispered, "Which top family is this?"

Beside him, Xue Churan was playing with a jade ring in her hand and replied calmly, "It's the sixteenth one."

"The names of the families in Douhun City have already been called out. In addition, the Haitang Ye family, Xiangyao Zhong family, Zhenhun Ding Xiao family, Bawang Qiang Xiang family, and Beichen Ling family from the Medical Alliance have all appeared."

"This scene is really lively."

Xue Chuxin smiled gently upon hearing this. That smile was like the rising sun, warm and bright. "It is indeed lively. Most of the twenty-four famous sects on the continent have come. I think the next ones should be the big sects. This so-called eightieth birthday party can be said to be a grand event."

Xue Churan put down the jade ring in her hand, raised her head and looked into the distance, her eyes deep: "This is not surprising, the major families are intermarried and have good relations, and the relationship is complicated, they naturally will not miss such a grand event."

Her eyes moved as she whispered, "All the big and small forces in Chang'an City and the five southern counties have arrived early."

"Look, several families from the Medical Alliance are here, the Forging Alliance has also sent some prominent figures, and even several guilds such as the Agricultural Guild have sent representatives."

Xue Chuxin smiled slightly and continued, "It seems that the markets of the Chen family are indeed coveted."

Zuo Tinggang suddenly raised his head and drank the liquor in the glass, his Adam's apple rolling up and down as the liquor flowed.

He put down his glass, an uninhibited smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes revealed a bit of wildness, "Isn't this obvious?"

He leaned forward slightly, resting his arms on the table, and looked directly at Xue Churan opposite him. "Although you two are manipulating this, our royal family allowed the Chen family to open a mansion in Chang'an City. Isn't it because we have already foreseen that there will be such a grand scene today?"

Zuo Tinggang frowned, leaned back, and changed to a more comfortable sitting position. "I know nothing about the twists and turns of business."

“But is this market really so attractive? Aren’t there any potential risks involved?”

Xue Churan chuckled and explained calmly, "There are indeed various variables in business operations, but we have repeatedly considered it, and at present, we have not found any major storms. Of course, the competition for interests is another matter."

Zuo Tinggang nodded, understanding the situation. "That is to say, the prospects are promising, and the benefits outweigh the disadvantages."

"Brother Tinggang, you are so smart and you understand things at once." Xue Churan praised sincerely.

Zuo Tinggang waved his hand with a self-deprecating smile on his face, "Stop flattering me."

"Oh, by the way, how is your research on the magic circle you copied last time going?"

Xue Churan frowned slightly when she heard this. "The formation is so complicated that it gives me a headache. Those old antiques from Chang'an College are helpless. There is no news from Tiandou City either."

"However, Brother Chen Cong once mentioned that soul power can be compressed, but he didn't say much about the details."

Zuo Tinggang took another sip of wine and said thoughtfully, "You invited Chen Cong to Chang'an College last time. This move was really brilliant. I heard that Tiandou College is also ready to make a move."

Xue Churan smiled slightly, looking relaxed, "Well, this is none of my business."

"If there really is any action, that is something Brother Chen Cong should worry about."

A trace of concern flashed in her eyes, and she advised softly: "Brother Tinggang, your injuries have not yet healed, so it is better to drink less of this wine."

Zuo Tinggang waved his hand and said proudly: "It's just a minor injury. I was already uncomfortable enough being banned from drinking for a month. Now that the injury has almost healed, what's the harm in drinking a little?"

Xue Churan frowned slightly when she heard this, and there was a hint of blame in her tone: "Brother Tinggang, your body is the capital for cultivation, you can't be so willful." Zuo Tinggang put down the wine glass in his hand and muttered, "Churan, you know I am like this, I like to live happily."

"This injury is really nothing to me, Chu Xin, don't you think so?"

Xue Chuxin heard this, put down the white jade teacup in her hand, and smiled faintly, "Brother Tinggang, you know Chu Ran's temper. She can't bear to see people around her get hurt."

"But, to be honest, I also think you should recuperate a little more."

Zuo Tinggang laughed. "Okay, okay, I know you all mean well. I promise you that I won't drink too much after today. I will drink after my injuries are completely healed. How about that? I'll go drink over there."

After saying that, he ran away holding the bottle of wine.

When the two saw it, they smiled.

Xue Chuxin raised her eyebrows slightly and asked softly, "I heard that you met Mu Lingyun?"

Xue Churan smiled bitterly, "Yes, this senior sister was waiting for me there. As soon as we met, she slapped me three times without any hesitation. I was so shocked that I saw stars."

She paused and continued, "However, she gave me a sweet date in the end, which was considered as a consolation."

Xue Chuxin turned around and stared at Xue Churan with a serious look in her eyes. "The power of the household manager is not only about managing trivial household affairs, but also about managing wives and concubines."

"Mu Lingyun did this probably because she thinks you are no longer her biggest threat."

Xue Churan shook her head gently and sighed, "Senior Sister Mu has always been very smart and sees things very clearly, but sometimes, she just thinks too much."

Xue Chuxin chuckled when she heard this, "Haha, you are indeed a person who thinks too much."

Xue Churan suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Sister Chuxin, do you think Sister Qingyun will come?"

Xue Chuxin was slightly stunned. She did not answer immediately, but turned and looked into the distance, as if thinking about something.

After a long time, when Xue Chuxin was about to say something, Zuo Tinggang came over and interrupted their conversation.

He glanced at the two of them and said with a smile, "Stop mumbling here, both of you. Hurry up and get ready. It will be our turn to go on stage soon."

Xue Chuxin looked out the window again. The streets were busy with cars and pedestrians, and representatives of various major forces were filing into the Chen family's mansion.

She gently withdrew her gaze and took a deep breath of fresh air to calm the waves in her heart.

When she turned around, her eyes met with Zuo Tinggang and Xue Churan, "Let's go, Brother Tinggang, today we have to rely on you to hold the scene."

Zuo Tinggang paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This is really stressful. After all, there are already more than a dozen Title Douluo here today. I'm not sure I can handle it all."

"All I can say is that you should try not to embarrass us."

Although his words were a bit self-deprecating, they also revealed his inner humility and self-knowledge.

The three of them smiled at each other, then left the Moon Watching Tower together.

They were followed by a group of followers, marching towards the Chen family mansion in a mighty manner.

In the room next to them, a blond young man sat quietly by the window, playing with an exquisite wine glass in his hand, with a strange light flashing in his weathered eyes.

He took a sip of the wine in the glass, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Interesting."

Obviously, although the room was excellently soundproofed, the blond young man was able to hear the entire conversation between Xue Churan and the other two.
