By the time Chen Xi and his family returned home, the originally gray sky was already covered with a layer of darkness.
Looking at the situation, it was estimated that the sky would be completely dark before five o 'clock.
The taxi stopped at the entrance of Dongming Alley.
As soon as she got out of the car, the little girl couldn't wait to carry her bag and then ran into the alley like a wisp of smoke.
She was in a hurry to go home and change into new clothes!
"Niannian, run slower. Be careful not to fall."
Chen Xi smiled and reminded her, then went to the back door. With one hand holding the door, he pretended to be a gentleman and bowed to make a "please" gesture.
Seeing this, Qin Ruoying acted as if she didn't see him. After getting out of the car from the back, she slightly raised her delicate chin and walked into the alley with a cold face.
Needless to say, Yingying must still be angry with him at this moment …
Chen Xi smiled bitterly and shook his head. Then, he hung all the bags of New Year's goods on his body and walked into the alley alone.
However, the moment he stepped into the alley, the little girl's clear and pleasant voice suddenly sounded from the depths of the alley.
"Uncle, who are you looking for?"
The little girl blinked her eyes and looked at the uncle in front of her who seemed to be familiar. After looking up and down, she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
"Hahahaha …"
"Uncle specially came today to give you a New Year's greeting …"
"What? We haven't seen each other for only a few months and you don't recognize your uncle? "
Chen Xi was not a peeping Tom, so naturally, it was impossible for him to use his Divine Sense to observe the surrounding movements at all times.
So, when he heard the little girl's voice, he released his Divine Sense to observe carefully.
The visitor who was called uncle by the little girl …
It was actually Jiang Yan who hadn't shown up for a long time.
Like Chen Xi, Jiang Yan was also carrying bags of various sizes.
However, the bags in his hands were not as exquisite as the ones in Chen Xi's hands.
However, it was also these seemingly ordinary woven bags that faintly emitted an indescribable and peculiar fragrance.
The little guy smelled the fragrance in the bag, so he couldn't help but poke his head in, as if he wanted to know what was inside.
"Niannian, look, uncle brought you a lot of good things today."
As he spoke, Jiang Yan bent over and opened the bag. He took out a luminous pearl the size of an adult's fist and handed it to the little guy.
"Wow! So beautiful! "
This luminous pearl was slightly different from ordinary luminous pearls. Its light was not the common blue and green, but an extremely rare milky white.
The little guy held the Night-Luminescent Pearl in front of his eyes. After looking at it carefully, as if he had found a treasure, he ran excitedly to Qin Ruoying's side and held the Night-Luminescent Pearl up high as if he was presenting a treasure.
"Mom, look, it's a night-luminescent pearl!"
The little fellow loved this luminous pearl so much that he couldn't bear to part with it.
Seeing this, Qin Ruoying looked at Jiang Yan cautiously.
She didn't know Jiang Yan.
However, her instincts told her — —
The person in front of her was not a good person.
Therefore, Qin Ruoying took a step forward without leaving a trace and shielded the little fellow behind her.
How smart was Jiang Yan?
After seeing Qin Ruoying's vigilant action, he immediately smiled and took a few steps back, indicating that he definitely didn't have any ill intentions.
You wouldn't know if you didn't compare, but you would be shocked once you compared.
Qin Ruoying's attitude towards Chen Xi was already bad enough, right?
However, to a stranger like Jiang Yan, it was even worse.
She didn't even bother to look at Jiang Yan. She hugged the little guy and walked into the courtyard.
Luckily, just as Jiang Yan was feeling awkward, the person in question appeared.
"Oh, where's the rare guest?"
Just like a cook who had just returned home from grocery shopping, Chen Xi glanced at the woven bag beside Jiang Yan and said to Jiang Yan casually, "What's the matter? Let's talk inside. "
Just like neighbors greeting each other, Chen Xi casually greeted Jiang Yan and turned to enter the house.
He didn't stand on ceremony at all.
However, Jiang Yan felt uncomfortable.
They hadn't seen each other for half a year, but this old man acted as if he didn't know Chen Xi.
Jiang Yan timidly wanted to follow him, but just as he took a step, he suddenly retracted his leg as if he had been electrocuted.
Chen Xi noticed that something was wrong with him, so he turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yan quickly squeezed out a smile and said with a forced smile, "Nothing, I just came to give you a New Year's greeting …"
"Looking at your wife, she seems to have just woken up?"
"If that's the case, I won't disturb you."
"These are all gifts I brought from Dai Yu Island. They're just some cheap local specialties. I hope you can accept them as a token of my sincerity. I wish you a happy New Year in advance …"
Chen Xi and Jiang Yan were considered acquaintances, so he always felt that Jiang Yan's behavior today was a little strange. However, he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was strange, but he vaguely felt that …
Jiang Yan seemed to be a little afraid of him.
"Okay, I'll accept these things."
"If you don't come in and have a seat, then I won't keep you …"
"Go ahead and do your thing."
Chen Xi didn't stand on ceremony with him. After waving his hand and sending all the 'local specialties' brought by Jiang Yan to the courtyard with his True Essence, he turned around and walked into the courtyard.
Chen Xi entered the house.
After the door was gently closed, a strange expression suddenly appeared on Jiang Yan's face.
Jiang Yan looked deeply at the door in front of him as if there was still a lingering fear in his heart. After that, he quickly walked out of the alley without batting an eyelid.
It was the same as last time.
After Jiang Yan walked out of the main street, Jiang Zhengqing's figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
However, it was different from last time …
This time, before Jiang Zhengqing could speak, Jiang Yan grabbed his arm and dragged him forward quickly.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Zhengqing was a little confused. Just as he was about to ask, Jiang Yan growled and stopped him.
"Shut up, let's go!"
After saying that, Jiang Yan waved his sleeves and directly pulled Jiang Zhengqing away from Shang Jing as fast as he could.
Jiang Yan dragged Jiang Zhengqing along for half an hour before finally coming to a stop.
After that, Jiang Yan said to Jiang Zhengqing in a very serious tone, "I saw him …"
"Oh? What's the situation with him now? "
"If it weren't for the news from the United States, I'm afraid we wouldn't even know that he's back!"
At this point, Jiang Zhengqing seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but mutter in confusion, "The news from Celestial Capital said that he fought with the three Celestial Venerables on Dragon Head Peak. Although he was severely injured, he was lucky enough to escape?"
"Logically speaking, it's easier to go to heaven than to go to hell …"
"If he didn't obtain the Soul Mirror, why would he suddenly return to Earth?"
The Nine Serenities' information was passed down from Celestial Capital, so they were very clear about the situation when Chen Xi and Yuhuan Tianzun first fought.
While Jiang Yan induced Chen Xi to become enemies with Celestial Capital, he also led people to intercept and kill Wuxu. Wasn't his goal to incite a war between Chen Xi and Celestial Capital?
He had achieved his goal.
But what Jiang Yan didn't expect, even in his dreams …
What happened next was completely beyond the scope of his imagination.
When Chen Xi fought with Yuhuan Tianzun for the second time, not only did he capture the ten Celestial Venerables in one fell swoop, but he also took the entire great world with him.
The once glorious Celestial Capital …
Wasn't it just like a pile of mud that had been casually thrown into Saturn's ring?
The Nine Serenities had no way of knowing all of this.
However …
Although Jiang Yan didn't know what happened after that, the moment he saw Chen Xi again, he already knew …
Mr. Chen was no longer an existence that the Nine Serenities could afford to provoke.
Perhaps this was just his intuition.
But Jiang Yan was willing to trust his intuition for once.
Therefore, he didn't care what Jiang Zhengqing was muttering and directly ordered in an irrefutable tone.
"In the name of the leader of the Nine Serenities, pass down this order …"
"As long as Mr. Chen is still in Hua Xia, all members of the Nine Serenities are prohibited from setting foot on Hua Xia!"
"If there are any violators …"
"Kill without mercy!"
