Chapter 231 A Surprising News
Beads of sweat dripped from Xie Chen's forehead.

"It's done!"

Ouyang Xiaoan stepped forward excitedly and stared intently.

Two special effect orange lights appeared, and at the same time, an orange-red rune light appeared, which was stronger than the previous second-grade inscription rune.

"Sure enough, it is a third-grade inscription symbol!"

"And it's an inscription symbol with double special effects!"

As soon as Ouyang Xiao'an infiltrated his consciousness into the inscription rune, he immediately judged the grade of the inscription rune.

This time he was reluctant to experiment with it again. The third-grade inscription talisman, and it is a double-effect inscription talisman, is enough to become the treasure of the town council of the Talisman Makers Association!

When everyone saw the light emitting from the inscription symbol, they roughly knew that the assessment should have passed. At this time, they heard the president's announcement, and they were even more convinced.

"Passing two consecutive assessments, from a first-level talisman maker to a third-level talisman maker, this Chen Xie is really amazing!"

"It's simply amazing, my Hongdu Mansion has such a genius in the talisman making world?!"

"The old man really has a lot of accumulation, and he is a blockbuster!"

……

Until now, everyone thinks that Chen Xi is a gray-haired old man, maybe ugly and flawed, so he doesn't want others to see his true face.

How would they feel if they knew that the talisman maker in front of them who made the double-effect three-grade inscription talisman was a young man?

For Xie Chen, his goal has been achieved. The inscription symbol has been personally reviewed by Ouyang Xiaoan, and it has been confirmed that it has reached the third rank and has two special effects.

Ouyang Xiao'an said that he would solemnly collect this inscription symbol and study it carefully as a treasure of the association.

Accepting everyone's congratulations, feeling everyone's extraordinary enthusiasm, those eyes were full of worship and reverence, Xie Chen couldn't help feeling a sense of accomplishment.

It seems that I am quite talented in talisman making, not too bad.

Of course, it's more hard work, day and night practice, and Fu Lao's guidance.

"Third-level talisman maker..."

"Gold rank talisman maker!"

Xie Chen looked at the special token in his hand and was filled with emotion.

Not long ago, he was only a first-level talisman maker, at the lowest level of the circle of talisman makers, but now he is a third-level talisman maker, looking at the entire talisman making world of Hongdu Prefecture, he is also a figure at the top of the pyramid.

What's more important is that the edge of the token is inlaid with gold, which shows that he is a talisman maker who has reached the gold rank!
The three horizontal lines under the word "fu" mean that the highest grade inscription talisman that can be produced is the third grade, as long as a third-level talisman maker can do it, but not every talisman maker is a golden talisman maker.

It can be said that there may not be a gold talisman maker among a hundred talisman makers, and there are even very few silver talisman makers.

Bronze, silver, gold, diamond, each level of improvement represents an increase in the number of special effects mastered, and every time you master a method of making special effect inscription symbols, you can rise to a higher level.

Xie Chen now masters two kinds of special effects, and is recognized as a golden talisman maker!

This is a great honor, and it also represents an incomparably noble status.

You know, even the president, Ouyang Xiaoan, is just a silver talisman maker. Although he is a fourth-level talisman maker, he is not as good as Xie Chen in terms of rank.

This is also the reason why the Talisman Association tried its best to win over Xie Chen.

A golden talisman maker is a facade. From then on, the reputation of the talisman making association in Hongdu Prefecture will increase greatly in the entire Longteng country. At that time, the number of talisman makers who will come to join will increase, and the apprentices who will participate in the talisman making assessment There will be more and more, this kind of wealth is intangible...

Xie Chen didn't think too much about it, he just felt that being able to serve as the vice president of the Talisman Craftsman Association didn't sound bad, and it didn't hurt him at all.

It will save you a lot of trouble in the future.

Xie Chen put the newly obtained token into the white jade belt, took off the disguise, and walked towards the family.

All in all, he hasn't returned to the family for more than half a month.

Although the family management is not strict, many people will pay attention to him who has been away for so long like him.

Either they encountered an accident, or they were playful and lazy, and their cultivation was neglected.

Xie Chen returned to the family, and before he could walk back to the dormitory, he ran into Xie Yuqing.

This girl, who was admitted by the same clan, has a good relationship with him and has helped him many times. Moreover, he can feel that the other party has a faint affection for him.

"Thank you Chen!!"

Xie Yuqing's voice was trembling and crying.

She rushed over, threw herself into Xie Chen's arms, and beat Xie Chen's chest: "You are back, you are finally back, I thought you were dead! You bastard!"

Feeling the deep concern in Xie Yuqing's words, Xie Chen was also moved. He had indeed been away for too long. He shouldn't have retreated immediately. Perhaps he should have informed the people close to him. It was just that he was busy practicing talisman making at the time, so I didn't think too much about it.

"I'm sorry, Yuqing, for making you worry."

Xie Chen let Xie Yuqing vent for a while, supported her, and saw that her beautiful face was covered with tears, and she seemed to have lost weight after seeing her for more than half a month, and couldn't help but blame herself.

If Xie Yuqing did this because of him, then he would really feel guilty.

Some people around saw Xie Chen and Xie Yuqing's appearance, they all pointed and pointed, some people recognized Xie Chen and showed surprised expressions.

"This Xie Chen actually came back, I thought he was dead."

"Yeah, he has so many enemies outside, I didn't expect him to be safe and sound."

……

Some Xie family disciples pointed out for a while, and the words reached Xie Yuqing's ears, and she realized that this is outside, and there are many people passing by.

Her face flushed, she broke away from Xie Chen's hand, and wiped away her tears.

Fortunately, she is cheerful by nature, and she soon laughed through tears.

"You bastard, where have you been these days? Do you know that people in our Qianzhou are looking for you, and everyone is worried when you are not here."

Xie Yuqing gave Xie Chen a hard look, as if she was blaming him for leaving without saying a word.

Xie Chen smiled apologetically: "I was practicing outside and I just came back today. I'm sorry for making everyone worry. I'll see you later."

"That's right. We've been looking for you all this time. I come to your dormitory every day. I didn't expect you to never show up."

Speaking of this, Xie Yuqing's eyes were red again, but she seemed to notice something wrong, and suddenly blushed.

Come every day, why does she care so much about Xie Chen?
Xie Chen didn't care about these, but asked: "Is everyone okay during this time, there should be nothing wrong in the family, how is the progress of cultivation?"

Xie Yuqing put aside her previous emotions, smiled and said: "We are all fine, unlike you, there are people who trouble you everywhere, except for occasional provocations and verbal offenses from people in other states, it's nothing, ours The strength has improved a lot compared to before.”

When Xie Chen heard Xie Yuqing teasing him, he couldn't help touching his nose and smiling, "I do make enemies everywhere, there are a lot of people in the family who don't like me, even the deacons and elders have offended a lot. , there are behemoths like the Wang family outside who want my life all the time, it's really dangerous..."

Xie Chen did not deny this.

"Are you saying that people from other states will still provoke us and make offensive words?"

Xie Chen noticed this more. Now he has faintly become the banner and the backbone of the Qianzhou people. Every Qianzhou child who came with him looks after him. This makes him have a sense of responsibility and always wants to protect him. Good for these tribesmen.

Hearing that someone seemed to be targeting people in Qianzhou, a chill appeared in his eyes.

"That's okay. We have few people and weak strength. We can't help being bullied by others. Fortunately, there are Elder Jingping and Deacon Cuishan helping us, so it's not a big deal. However, some People seem to be very hostile to you..."

Xie Yuqing hesitated for a moment, and said.

Xie Chen's heart is like a bright mirror. His background is unknown, he has always been rejected by his tribe, he is considered a "wild species", and he is insulted by many people in private. Moreover, he is very powerful, so it is normal for people to hate him. He knows this well. bright.

"Just let them say, as long as you are all right, I say, I have the power to protect myself."

Xie Chen was very pleased to hear that Xie Yuqing said that the other clansmen had made great progress.

He observed Xie Yuqing with his spiritual sense, and found that her strength had indeed improved a lot, and she was already at a relatively deep cultivation level in the early stage of the Gang Qi Realm, not too far away from the middle stage of the Gang Qi Realm.

"By the way, Xie Chen... I'm so anxious to find you, but there is actually one more thing. Today... you must be careful. It's best... it's best to hide it, so that the elders don't see it."

"what happened?"

Xie Chen frowned, seeing Xie Yuqing like this seemed to be a matter of great importance.

At this time, Xie Yuqing had already taken him to a relatively remote place, far away from the crowd, her expression became anxious, and she whispered: "I heard that the elders of the clan are having a meeting to discuss whether to hand you over to Wang Family!"

"what?!"

Xie Chen's head buzzed, he didn't expect such a thing to happen, did the family want to abandon him?

He took a deep breath and said coldly, "Why?"

Xie Yuqing also understood that Xie Chen felt uncomfortable, and any clansman would not be happy when he heard the news.

Handing over a family member to a hostile family is undoubtedly chilling and cold.

"You're not here during this time, maybe you don't know. The Wang family launched a commercial offensive against our Xie family. Many properties of our Xie family have been attacked by several big families of the Wang family, and the business is sluggish..."

"Especially the talisman store. I heard that the Wang family hired a third-level talisman maker named Duan Chun to make talismans for them. That person is also the vice president of the talisman maker association, and his disciple is Qiao Zhu. The two teamed up to make talismans, recruited a large group of helpers, and prepared a large number of inscription talismans to crush our talisman shop..."

"Now our talisman shop is struggling to make ends meet. We haven't had a single customer come to our door for more than half a month, and the other shops are also in dismal business. This time, the Wang family is obviously aggressive. They want to destroy our industry and choke our economic lifeline. Put our Xie family to death..."

Xie Yuqing carefully described what happened during this period.

Xie Chen naturally also knew that at the auction, Wang Xueqi, the elder of Wang's family, publicly announced the news of cooperation with Duan Chun's master and apprentice. He also guessed that it was aimed at Xie's family, but he didn't expect such a big move, even other businesses would be affected. , and caused such a big blow to the Xie family.

"Our Xie family is very tight on money during this period. Many people and things in the family have been affected, and the resources for cultivation have been greatly reduced. Elder Jingping and the others have tried their best, but to no avail..."

"Why is it involving me again?"

Xie Chen asked a crucial question. Logically speaking, he, an ordinary child, cannot control the contest between the two families.

Xie Yuqing looked at Xie Chen, and sighed: "The Wang family said that as long as you are handed over, they will stop their offensive and let our Xie family go, so..."

"So the elders are going to hand me over?"

Xie Chen snorted coldly, feeling chills in his heart.

The Wang family launched this commercial offensive only for him?Are the Wang family so impulsive?Was their goal really just him?

They are not stupid, anyone with a discerning eye knows that their goal is to annex the Xie family.

But the senior executives of the Xie family simply thought that as long as he was handed over, he would be fine, how ridiculous!
What chills Xie Chen the most is that he is now a child of the Xie family, and the family abandons it as soon as they say it, wouldn't it make him feel cold?

"Xie Chen, don't worry, the elders may not really do this. As far as I know, Elder Jingping, the Fourth Elder, and the Eighth Elder are all against it."

Seeing Xie Chen's uneasy expression, Xie Yuqing said hastily.

Xie Chen's expression was uncertain, he flicked his sleeves for the last time, and strode towards one direction.

"Xie Chen, where are you going?"

Xie Yuqing hurried to catch up.

"I'm going to see what the elders of the family plan to do, whether they really want to hand me over!"

Xie Chen has already decided that if the family really decides to abandon him, then he will be completely disappointed in the family.
