I can add one every day

In the half month since he was promoted to the pacification envoy, Zhou Qingyuan had tried to find the way to enter the realm of breaking through the orifices, but unfortunately, he got nothing.

There were a few times when he asked too much, and even aroused suspicion from others, who thought that he was always looking for things that he shouldn't know, and his intentions were not right.

If Zhou Qingyuan was not a Qi-refining warrior favored by His Majesty, and a special envoy of the Jinyiwei authorized by the powerful imperial power, it would probably cause a lot of trouble.

Although a little embarrassed, Zhou Qingyuan had to admit that he was a bit like a headless fly, but he could not get any loopholes about the realm of breaking through the orifices.

On this day, Cao Chen, the old man of the Cao family, sent him a message through Cao Luwen.

[Your attitude is too noble, and you are unwilling to integrate into the gentry. How can they share the real secret with you? ]

Cao Chen sat in his own courtyard, facing a game of Go and thinking alone.

After spending half a month, he finally figured out the secret of why Zhou Qingyuan was able to escape from the whirlpool of public opinion.

Understand why the emperor's attitude changed so much that day.

I really didn't expect that the young man, at such a young age, had already entered the realm of Qi Refining. If it weren't for the previous experience, he couldn't believe it.

Yes, Cao Chen didn't know this at first. He just saw the sudden change in the emperor's attitude and thought that Zhou Qingyuan had no foundation, so something must have happened.

Although Cao Chen didn't know why the emperor suddenly valued the warriors of the third realm of true Qi, even to the point of being a little crazy.

But the things that the emperor valued were naturally the direction that the old man wanted to think about.

As long as the real masters of the dynasty did not appear one day, Emperor Zhu Rongjia would still be the supreme authority of the dynasty and still be worth thinking about by the old man.

During this period, Cao Chen had been asking his men to secretly collect Zhou Qingyuan's behavior.

He had people in the North and South Pacification Offices, and it was not difficult to find out some open news about Zhou Qingyuan.

In fact, he was not the only one staring at Zhou Qingyuan at this time.

Many people wanted to know why Zhou Qingyuan was able to enter the Qi Refining Realm at the age of sixteen, but they couldn't make a big move.

"Master, Lord Zhou Qingyuan is here."

The servant's announcement interrupted Cao Chen's messy thoughts and drew his attention back.

Forget it, no matter what Zhou Qingyuan is like, it's always right to make some insignificant bets first.

Speaking of which, Cao Chen has not really met Zhou Qingyuan yet, and he is still a little interested in this so-called young genius. After all, his granddaughter has mentioned him many times.

The sound of steady and powerful footsteps sounded outside the courtyard, and a handsome young man in black clothes appeared outside the courtyard.

Seeing Zhou Qingyuan in person, Cao Chen's eyes lit up subconsciously.

He liked the look of this young man, confident and indifferent, full of power and a sense of alienation.

To be frank, even in the contemporary emperor, Cao Chen has never seen such a strong aura of dominance.

This is the look that only those who rely entirely on their own strength to fight out of difficulties can have.

I think this young man must firmly believe that with his own strength, he can be fearless of any difficulties, and he did it.

"Yes, you surprised me."

Cao Chen took the lead in breaking the deadlock and took the initiative to invite Zhou Qingyuan to sit down.

The Go board in front of the two was removed and replaced by a pot of hot tea that had been prepared long ago.

Zhou Qingyuan rested his palms on his legs, slightly moved closer to the old man, and asked:

"I don't know what the old man meant by the words that he asked someone to pass on to me before?"

Cao Chen stretched out a hand to stop Zhou Qingyuan's question, washed the tea leisurely, poured the tea, and then handed it to Zhou Qingyuan, saying:

"Young man, you are too anxious, always like a sword out of the sheath, and others can't help but feel scared. Even if they want to get along with you, they have to weigh it."

"You pushed away all potential friends. How can you step into the real circle as a lonely person?"

Zhou Qingyuan took a sip of tea and did not comment on Cao Chen's statement. He guessed that the other party was going to play a trick on him.

"I am a simple person. I will treat those who treat me well twice as well. I will repay those who treat me badly a hundredfold."

Speaking of this, Zhou Qingyuan lowered his head and took a sip of tea, raised his eyebrows slightly, and stared at the old man of the Cao family:

"So, will the Cao family be my first friend?"

As Zhou Qingyuan spoke and moved, the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed.

After all, he was a pacification envoy, holding a sharp weapon in his hand. At this moment, he suddenly attacked. Although he did not exert any force, his aura was already bursting out.

However, facing Zhou Qingyuan's questioning, Cao Chen did not feel any pressure, but just felt a little dazed.

"Too much like."

Cao Chen's eyebrows slightly raised, he did not directly answer Zhou Qingyuan's question, but said without thinking:

"You look a lot like the late emperor when he was young."

Before Zhou Qingyuan continued to speak, Cao Chen had already put one hand on the stone table, and his whole body approached Zhou Qingyuan. The old man's aging figure actually burst out with the spirit of a lion at this time:

"You have been asking around a lot recently, and your headless look makes me laugh.

Don't you just want to step into the door of breaking the realm? Sure! Our Cao family has it, but what do you want to use to get it?"

Facing the oppression of the old man, Zhou Qingyuan's expression did not change at all, and he said lightly:

"Why bother with this? Since you asked Cao Tongzhi to pass the message to me, it means that I am worth the Cao family's investment.

If you need me to do something, just tell me directly."

Cao Chen shook his head and withdrew his body. His voice was old and calm:

"Young man, what do you think of us nobles? Do you think I want to make a deal with you?

Excuse me, you are not worth the Cao family's attention now.

Yes, you have a good talent, but after half a month of setbacks, I think you have seen it.

No matter how good your talent is, what's the use if you can't get in touch with the method of the next realm? Do you think the tacit understanding between us nobles is just talk?"

"You have greatly underestimated the determination of the emperor and us. , the method of breaking the orifice, people like you will never be able to get in touch with it in your life under normal circumstances. "

Speaking of this, Cao Chen put the teacup on the stone table, observed Zhou Qingyuan's expression, and continued:

"I gave you the message just to convey the goodwill of the Cao family and remind you not to cross the line again.

Although I don't know why you are eager to find the method of breaking the orifice in the Qi Refining Realm, do you think that those little actions are invisible to us nobles?

Even if His Majesty values ​​​​the warriors of the third realm of true qi, once you cross that line, everyone will target you.

The reason why you are safe now is just because of your identity as a pacification envoy, and Xiaowen is silently cleaning your ass behind you. "

"While the nobles have not made up their minds to move you, stop quickly. "
