For Chen Xi, Zhonghai was a place full of memories and beautiful memories.
But now, he chose to settle down in Shangjing instead of the familiar Zhonghai. One of the reasons was naturally because the spiritual energy in Shangjing was far superior to other places.
One had to know that as the ancient capital of the five dynasties, Shangjing had always been the most important place in Hua Xia.
Zhongnanhai was located in the center of Shangjing. It was the place where the dragon veins converged. It could be said to be a place of pure Yang. Naturally, it was impossible to breed evil spirits and accept filth.
Houhai was adjacent to Zhongnanhai. After Gu Yao died in a car accident, her Yin spirit did not dissipate. Instead, it became more and more stable, and even began to condense into a soul body …
This was obviously a very strange thing.
Because of this, Chen Xi speculated that this matter should be deliberately manipulated behind the scenes.
And if he guessed correctly …
This person should want to use the geographical advantage of Zhongnanhai to organize Gu Yao's soul body and cultivate an extremely powerful Yin servant.
The Yin servant did not have a physical body, so once the Yin servant was formed, its combat power would naturally be far superior to cultivators of the same level, and even stronger than shikigami.
But what kind of place was Zhongnanhai?
The Wu Lian's influence spread throughout the country, and there were countless experts under their command. How could there be a mistake here?
Japanese? Yinyang Liao?
How could it be?
If the Japanese could cultivate Yin servants in Zhongnanhai, what was the difference between that and riding on Hua Xia's head and shitting?
Therefore, even if Chen Xi used her butt to think, she knew that this matter was definitely related to Wu Lian!
It was just a thief crying out to catch a thief, and a ghost crying out to catch a ghost.
Moreover …
This person's cultivation level was very high, and he had a high status in the Wu Lian. Otherwise, the Wu Lian would not allow him to do this in Zhongnanhai.
Chen Xi's guess was correct.
From the cars outside the teahouse, it was not difficult to see that these A6 with military license plates were all Wu Lian cars.
Chen Xi didn't know who the leader was, so he didn't answer immediately.
Seeing that he didn't seem to want to drive him away, the man immediately lowered his head and said politely, "Mr. Chen, my name is Ding Chengzhi, and I work for the General Supervision Office. The reason why I took the liberty to visit you today is because this is a very important matter, and I need to verify it with you. Can you do me a favor?"
After saying that, Ding Chengzhi bowed slightly and made an inviting gesture.
Looking at his neither servile nor overbearing attitude and full of confidence, Chen Xi guessed that this person should be at least at the level of a sister-in-law.
Director of the Supervision Office?
He was the official in charge of Sijiu City …
This was getting interesting.
A smile suddenly appeared on Chen Xi's face. After glancing at Ding Chengzhi, he faintly said, "It's dinner time now. If you have anything to say, wait until I eat dinner first."
Chen Xi's attitude was so arrogant, but Ding Chengzhi's face did not show the slightest dissatisfaction. Instead, he chuckled and said, "It's my fault for disturbing you. Mr. Chen, please enjoy your meal. I'll wait for you outside."
Ding Chengzhi looked at Chen Xi with a smile, but Chen Xi acted as if he didn't hear him. Even the little girl couldn't help glancing at him, and then looked at Chen Xi with a confused face.
"Open your mouth, good girl."
Chen Xi scooped up a bowl of rice with a spoon and sent it to the little girl's mouth.
Hearing this, the little thing opened its mouth wide and swallowed the spoon in one gulp.
As for Ding Chengzhi, who looked embarrassed …
He pretended not to see it.
Ding Chengzhi had no choice but to leave the teahouse silently.
No one knew what Ding Chengzhi said to the others outside, but after hearing what he said, they all went back to the cars.
…
Chen Xi was not an impolite person.
The reason why he did that was to express his dissatisfaction.
He was dissatisfied with Wu Lian.
Because the two brothers liked to quarrel while eating, the meal took more than half an hour.
Although Gu Lao was very curious about the relationship between Chen Xi and the people outside, he knew what to ask and what not to ask, so he pretended not to see anything from beginning to end.
After Qiao Yuan cleared the table, Chen Xi looked at the clock on the wall meaningfully, and then showed a meaningful smile.
These people waited outside for so long, but his sister-in-law didn't call.
Did she not receive the news?
Or did she not inform her at all?
Chen Xi pondered as he slowly walked out of the teahouse.
After seeing him go out, Ding Chengzhi hurriedly got out of the car, and then said politely to Chen Xi, "Mr. Chen, you see, this is not the place to talk. Would you like to go to the office with us?"
After saying that, Ding Chengzhi very subtly looked into the teahouse, as if to say that there were ordinary people inside, so it was not convenient to talk about a lot of things here.
Ding Chengzhi had made it very clear, but Chen Xi had no intention of getting in the car with him. Instead, he said calmly, "If you have something to say, say it here. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."
As soon as Chen Xi's voice fell, before Ding Chengzhi even had time to respond, a young man in a suit pushed open the car door, and then said to Chen Xi provocatively, "Okay, then say it here!"
Chen Xi glanced at the young man, ignored him, and looked at Ding Chengzhi.
Seeing that something was wrong, Ding Chengzhi immediately lowered his voice and said to Chen Xi, "Mr. Chen, this is Xu Hongyi. His father is Xu Feng, and he is a professor at the headquarters. He is in the same field as you …"
The Wu Lian was not a university, so naturally, there was no professor position.
So what Ding Chengzhi meant was that Xu Hongyi's father was in the same field as Chen Xi. They were not Wu Lian people, but they were willing to do something for the Wu Lian, which was equivalent to a guest in ancient times.
The so-called same field meant that this person's cultivation level was equivalent to Chen Xi's.
…
After listening to Ding Chengzhi's explanation, Chen Xi couldn't help but laugh.
How smart was he?
Just based on Ding Chengzhi's words, he could analyze a lot of things.
You couldn't just look at the surface of things.
If you just looked at the surface, things were simple.
Chen Xi captured Gu Yao's ghost, but Gu Yao's ghost was a ghost servant that Xu Feng put in Houhai to cultivate. So they came to the teahouse with great fanfare just to ask Chen Xi to return the ghost to them.
But in fact …
Things weren't that simple. It even involved the thoughts of the Wu Lian's higher-ups.
Chen Xi and Xu Feng were not Wu Lian people. They were only doing things for the Wu Lian for some reason.
And what was Chen Xi's level in the Wu Lian?
Above Divinity, Ex level.
Xu Feng was clearly at this level.
How could someone at this level of cultivation be willing to be someone else's lackey?
Because they weren't Wu Lian people, the Wu Lian people had always been wary of them.
Chen Xi had been waiting in the teahouse for his sister-in-law's call, but the Wu Lian didn't let her call him.
Which meant …
The Wu Lian wanted them to solve this problem by themselves.
How could they solve it?
The two of them had the same status and the same cultivation level. Since the Wu Lian didn't want to be a peacemaker, it meant that the Wu Lian wanted them to fight because of this.
It was a small matter, but it was important to save face.
The Wu Lian would find an excuse to let the two of them compete. No matter who won, the Wu Lian wouldn't suffer any losses.
On the contrary, they could use one of them to attack the other party's arrogance and warn them not to cause trouble. The Wu Lian had plenty of ways to deal with them.
It had to be said that the Wu Lian's little abacus was indeed loud and clear.
But the Wu Lian made a serious mistake, and that was …
They didn't know Chen Xi well enough.
So even though the Wu Lian knew that this would make Chen Xi unhappy, he still did it.
Perhaps Chen Xi's second aunt, who was loyal to the Wu Lian and extremely utilitarian, was one of the masterminds behind the scenes.
Being a guest once wasn't enough. This time, he was being used as a tool.
Chen Xi didn't like this feeling.
Therefore, after a long moment of silence, he opened his mouth and coldly said a sentence.
And this sentence …
It wasn't just for the young man, but also for Ding Chengzhi.
