December 22nd, Winter Solstice.
Although this year's winter came late, the snowfall was not much worse than last year's.
Snow fell like goose feathers. After a night, a thick layer of snow piled up in the alley.
The little guy had been talking about skating all day, but he did not know that the ice rink in Houhai would not open for another month.
Everything was the same as usual.
After the little guy cuddled with Chen Xi as usual, he got up and went to school.
Chen Xi stayed behind the wall until he finished watching the little guy do his morning exercises. Then, he slowly strolled back to Dongming Alley like an ordinary person who got up early for a walk.
But what was different from usual was …
Chen Xi met an "acquaintance" at the entrance of the alley today.
"Mr. Chen, long time no see."
The person was Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan was wearing a long black down jacket and a gray wool hoodie on his head, hiding his long hair.
Jiang Yan's current appearance …
He looked no different from the young people you could see on the street.
The only difference was that he still had an outstanding temperament that was as deep as the abyss.
"Hmm? Why are you here? "
Chen Xi never thought that Jiang Yan would come to Shangjing and even find him at his door. So the moment he saw Jiang Yan, he was a little surprised.
Could it be that this old guy had been stuck in the soul crystal for too long and wanted to wander around after taking over his body?
"Haha …"
"Actually, it's like this …"
"After I took the elixir you gave me, I realized that this elixir was extraordinary. You must have added a lot of rare herbs in it, right?"
Jiang Yan laughed.
After seeing Chen Xi extend his hand and make a "please" gesture, he immediately followed Chen Xi into the courtyard.
The visitor was a guest, so he had to at least show some basic courtesy.
So, Chen Xi led Jiang Yan to the main hall and made him a pot of tea.
"I did add a lot of things, but they are just some common herbs. The most important thing is your Udumbara Flower."
After hearing Chen Xi's words, Jiang Yan immediately laughed and said, "The Jiang family doesn't have such exquisite alchemy skills like yours …"
"After your careful concoction, this Udumbara Flower really showed its medicinal effects …"
"If that's the case, the Jiang family has really profited …"
Jiang Yan seemed very happy.
Seeing this, Chen Xi laughed a few times. She was too lazy to be polite with him. As long as he was happy, it was fine.
In fact, after Chen Xi thought that this elixir would definitely end up in Jiang's stomach, he cut the Jiang family's portion in half, and planned to leave the other half for Lin Xuan.
After all, he should not let the goodies …
The old man had been hiding in the Soul Crystal for so many years, so he probably had accumulated a huge amount of vital energy.
Thinking about it, this little bit was not too much, and this little bit was not too little. He just had to make do with it.
To be honest …
Based on the amount that Jiang Yan had consumed, it was probably not as effective as directly swallowing the Udumbara Flower. Therefore, even if Chen Xi used her butt to think, she knew that the old man must have other motives for coming to her door today.
"Alright, you don't have to be so polite with me …"
Chen Xi did not have the time to talk nonsense with him, so he asked directly, "Tell me, why did you come all the way here?"
Hearing this, the smile on Jiang Yan's face became even more cheerful.
"Hahahaha …"
"Actually, it's nothing much, I just wanted to come out for a walk and pay you a visit …"
At this point, Jiang Yan's gaze fell on the couplet in the middle of the main hall.
The Heavenly Gate is broken, the river opens, the jade water flows east.
However …
His gaze did not linger for long, then he put on a rather emotional expression and sighed. "White clouds for a thousand years, the sky is long …"
"Look at this world, where does it look like it used to?"
"When I came here, I even took that big guy called an airplane …"
"If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I definitely wouldn't believe it …"
"Now, even mortals can ride the clouds and travel thousands of miles in a day …"
"It's just like what the ancestors said, a day in the mountains is a thousand years in the world …"
"I think it's time for Dai Yu Island to change its philosophy …"
"The Jiang family can't always live in the past, we should try to integrate into the present …"
The old man was a chatterbox, and once he opened his mouth, he would not stop muttering.
After listening for a while, Chen Xi felt a headache coming on, so he found an excuse to send him out.
No wonder everyone said that the older a person was, the more long-winded they became …
This old man had been holding it in for thousands of years, if he really let him continue, wouldn't he talk for three days and three nights?
"Alright, then I won't disturb you. Have a good rest, I'll go to the Great Wall again …"
"Haha."
Jiang Yan stood in the alley and waved goodbye to Chen Xi with a smile.
After Chen Xi chuckled, he didn't even bother to exchange pleasantries, and directly closed the door.
Bye-bye to you.
Jiang Yan didn't feel offended at all.
When he turned and walked out of the alley, there was even a faint smile on his face.
After that, Jiang Yan strolled leisurely on the streets, looking around from time to time. He looked like a tourist who had just arrived in the city.
However …
Just as Jiang Yan walked out of the main street, a figure suddenly appeared beside him.
Jiang Yan glanced at him and said coldly, "There are people coming and going here, can't you wait until there's no one before you appear?"
Hearing this, that person said indifferently, "They're just a bunch of ants, so what if they see us? They'll only think that their eyes are playing tricks on them. "
"Enough!"
Jiang Yan seemed to be quite dissatisfied with this person's approach, so his face turned cold on the spot.
However, that person still didn't care, but looked around curiously, especially at the complicated structure of the viaduct not far away …
If Chen Xi were here, he would definitely feel very puzzled.
Since when did Jiang Zhengqing dare to talk to Jiang Yan like this?
That's right, the middle-aged man walking side by side with Jiang Yan at this moment was Jiang Zhengqing, who was previously beaten into the ground by Chen Xi.
Although Jiang Zhengqing was arrogant and unruly, he was still a member of the Jiang family, and the Jiang family's ancestral teachings had long been branded in his blood and marrow, so naturally, he couldn't be so disrespectful to Jiang Yan.
So the person in front of him …
It couldn't be Jiang Zhengqing at all.
"Don't blame me for not warning you …"
"This Mr. Chen isn't someone you can afford to offend. If you want to overthrow Heaven Capital, then you must need his help, and you can't afford to be on bad terms with him!"
Seeing Jiang Yan's serious look, Jiang Zhengqing also withdrew his previous frivolity and became much more serious, so he replied in a deep voice, "I know."
Seeing this, Jiang Yan didn't say anything more.
The reason he suddenly came to visit Chen Xi today was to let his companion see Mr. Chen's abilities.
Not to mention Mr. Chen's cultivation, it wasn't difficult to see that this person was definitely not someone to be trifled with just by looking at the restrictions inside and outside the four-part courtyard …
"Jiang Zhengqing" obviously knew his limits.
However, after a moment of silence, he couldn't help but ask, "I still feel a little strange …"
"You and I have lived for thousands of years, so why haven't we heard of such a person in the world?"
"Are you so sure …"
"He's not from Heaven Capital?"
After hearing Jiang Zhengqing's words, Jiang Yan didn't immediately answer, presumably thinking about the reason behind it.
After a long while.
Jiang Yan frowned and said, "It shouldn't be …"
"Based on the strength this person has shown before, he's at least above the level of a Divine General, or even at the level of a Heavenly Venerable …"
"Over the years, no Divine General has defected from Heaven Capital, and no Heavenly Venerable has died, so he can't be from Heaven Capital …"
"Moreover, I think Wuxu really doesn't seem to know him …"
Hearing this, it was Jiang Zhengqing's turn to be silent again.
It wasn't until the two of them walked side by side for a long distance that Jiang Zhengqing said with a serious face, "I think this matter needs to be considered at length, so don't act rashly …"
