Broken Night

Chapter 29 - The Chen Family Comes to the Door

"Uh... yes. My mom always hears that I mention your name and wants me to take you home for a quick dinner next weekend." Lan Ming said tremblingly, while sneaking out of the long bangs Looking at Xu Yan, wanting to see his response.

Xu Yan was speechless: "Is it necessary to be so nervous about such a trivial matter? I'll go back with you this weekend."

"Really?" Lan Ming raised his head with a happy smile. Lan Ming is not handsome, or even ordinary. But when he showed a bright smile, that white smile even made Xu Yan's eyes flicker: "There's no need to be so surprised by such a trivial matter. Let's go, it's time for class."

…………

"Is it here?" A group of three came to the door of Chengyun Academy.

There is a token around their waists.

The card is clear and distinct, with the word "Chen" written on it.

In the entire southern city, only people from the Chen family can wear this kind of waist card. This kind of waist card specially designed by the Chen family has a way of distinguishing the authenticity. If someone wants to fish in the water, it is equal to the enemy of the Chen family in Bingjie.

Looking at the academy door that was a little old and had not been renovated for a long time, he frowned. I really don't know why the Patriarch asked the Young Master to come to this rotten college with no reputation.

"Okay, knock on the door."

…………

Xu Yan was stunned, looking at the sky outside the window.

Xu Tian's simple words for a few days have already caused a great change in his view of Wen. He is no longer interested in the basic pattern studies taught by the academy. Now he even looks at the white clouds in the sky, the changes between the white clouds are like patterns born from the sky and the earth. Watching this change made him even more interested.

Zuo Chengzhe frowned and glanced at Xu Yan, but every time Xu Yan handed in a score that was enough to rank first, he was speechless.

At this time, a voice came from outside the door: "Mr. Zuo, I'm sorry to disturb you in class."

Zuo Chengzhe looked out the door, and it was the person in charge of guarding the gate of the courtyard: "What's the matter?"

The man looked at the classroom and asked, "Excuse me, is there a student named Xu Yan?"

…………

In the courtyard, there is a special reception room.

At this moment, there are three people sitting in the meeting room.

The three of them sat very calmly, even if it was the tea served by the academy, they just politely took a sip and left it there. The demeanor of the family is evident.

Kaka.

There was a knock on the door, and a majestic figure walked in. Behind him, there was a child with a bald head.

Among the three, the man in the middle is obviously.

When the man saw the majestic figure, he immediately frowned. But when his eyes fell on his arms tied with black cloth belts, there was a stern look in his eyes.

Two palace tattoos?

"Excuse me, sir...? If I remember correctly, I can only find little Xu Yan."

"I'm Xu Yan's class teacher, Zuo Chengzhe." It was Zuo Chengzhe who came, and his voice was low: "Xu Yan's home is not in Zhinan City, so I will replace his father."

"I don't know what the three of you are looking for with Xu Yan?"

Xu Yan also glanced at Zuo Chengzhe in surprise. Even in normal times, Zuo Chengzhe was honest with Xu Yan, but he didn't expect to be such a bad guy. Making Xu Yan look at Zuo Chengzhe's icy face is also pleasing to the eye.

…………

"Introduce yourself first."

The man in the middle smiled slightly: "I'm Chen Qing, the housekeeper of the Chen family. I represent the Chen family. Because of the disappearance of the tattoo soldiers in the past four years, I came to find Brother Xu to find an explanation."

Zuo Chengzhe pulled Xu Yan to sit up and frowned first: "I've heard about this a little bit. It is said that the Chen family has lost six second-order tattooed soldiers in the past four years. This incident also affects Nancheng Mansion. It's a mess, and it's strange that he hasn't been able to catch his little thief for four years."

"But I don't understand what the theft of the tattoo has to do with the students of my academy."

Chen Qing was not angry at Zuo Chengzhe's words, but looked at the person behind him.

The man said, "Little brother, I don't know, do you still remember me?"

Xu Yan looked at him, naturally he would not forget it with his memory. He nodded: "You are the shopkeeper."

This person was the shopkeeper of the Chen family who showed Xu Yan his second-order tattoo soldier, Shui Yingyue, in order to satisfy his vanity. Looking at Xu Yan's tender face, his face couldn't help but heat up.

Shame!

But he knew what the purpose of today's visit was.

Even if the young man in front of him had nothing to do with the theft of the tattoo, he would force Xu Yan to spit out Shui Yingyue's silver taels.

How can he not be ashamed to treat a ten-year-old child like this?

"That day, it was after I gave my little brother a look at Shui Yingyue. When I wanted to put it back where I was, I was attacked."

Hearing that the shopkeeper pointed at Xu Yan as soon as he opened his mouth, Zuo Chengzhe's face immediately turned cold: "It's funny. You mean such a ten-year-old... No, at that time a six-year-old kid attacked you, an adult like you. Could your reason be too absurd?"

At this time, Chen Qing just said slowly: "I heard that Xu Yan was born with divine power, and Young Master Aotian, who made my family eat grain food since he was six years old, is beyond his reach. Impossible."

"Also, perhaps because of this absolutely impossible reason, it's not surprising that the shopkeeper was ignorant of a six-year-old child."

Zuo Chengzhe shook his head in disbelief, the three people in front of him were arguing. They were determined to pour the sewage on Xu Yan: "Since this is the case, why not report it to Nancheng Mansion and let them make a decision?"

Chen Qing's eyes slowly turned cold. Zuo Chengzhe's repeated obstruction has made him a little angry. Two palace tattoos? The Chen family also has, and there are more than one. He really didn't pay attention to a mere person with two palace lines.

"We came here first to negotiate with Little Xu, because we wanted to solve the problem privately. If we took away the tattooed soldiers for a while, and now we return them, our Chen family promises that we will not investigate them. The soldier sold it privately, as long as we pay the silver taels from Shui Yingyue as compensation, our Chen family will take care of the matter.”

"If little brother Xu really wants to deny it to the end...then, I can only assess whether little brother Xu doesn't take my Chen family seriously."

Chen Qing smiled coldly: "In this southern city, no one dares to ignore our Chen family."

Zuo Chengzhe also refused to sell his account, his face was ashen: "Are you threatening?"

Chen Qing shrugged noncommittally, and looked at Zuo Chengzhe with an equally unkind look: "Even if this is a threat, how are you going?" The Chen family has been rising in Zhinan City for ten years, and has never been afraid of anyone. This time, the head of the family made it very clear that even if it was coercion, everyone who watched the fun should know that their Chen family was not easy to bully.
