Chapter 77: Setting Up (1)

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

Hearing Zhou Mucheng’s high-sounding words, Chen Xianhe kept praising how stable and prosperous Guang ‘an Prefecture was under the Zhou family’s rule.

Then, Chen Xianhe’s face fell again.

“Sigh, what a pity…”

“Fellow Daoist Chen, what are you regretting?”

Zhou Mucheng drank a cup of spirit wine and said calmly.

” It’s a pity that 50 years ago, in the battle of the Southern Mountain, 12 cultivators of my Chen family died in battle. As a result, the number of cultivators in the clan has dwindled…”

Before Chen Xianhe could finish his sentence, Zhou Mucheng slammed his wine glass on the table and stared at Chen Xianhe.”Your Chen family is the remnant of the battle at the Southern Mountain’s City?”

“Could it be that Senior…”

Chen Xianhe raised his head and looked at the man in surprise.

Zhou Mucheng nodded and his tone softened. He said in a low voice,”1 was a sergeant in the Southern Mountain’s City.”

Hearing this.

Chen Xianhe suddenly stood up and punched his chest with his right fist. He saluted and said solemnly, “”I am Chen Xianhe, a soldier of the Southern Mountain’s Zhennan Pass. Greetings, Commander!”

Zhou Mucheng could not come back to his senses for a long time when he heard this familiar address.

That battle back then was too tragic.

As the largest clan in Guang ‘an Prefecture, the Zhou Clan had suffered great losses in this battle.

According to what Zhou Mucheng knew, the younger brother of Zhou Mubai, the young clan leader of the Zhou clan, had died in this battle.

One could imagine.

How much did the Zhou family hate the Ye family?

Now that he heard that Chen Xianhe was also a soldier who had survived the battle of the Southern Mountain’s City, Zhou Mu felt closer to him.

Chen Daoxuan could clearly feel that the estrangement between Zhou Mucheng and his uncle and nephew had gradually disappeared.

When he spoke to Chen Xianhe, he no longer put on airs.

Occasionally, they would talk about some interesting things about the two of them serving in the Southern Mountain’s City, and they would even laugh out loud.

Chen Daoxuan was a little confused. He didn’t know if his Thirteenth Uncle was showing his true feelings or if he was acting.

If this was an act, then Chen Xianhe’s acting skills were terrifying.

“Brother Chen,”

Zhou Mucheng waved his hand and said with a red face,” I didn’t expect the two of us to have such fate. Since you and 1 were once soldiers of the Southern Mountain’s City, there’s no need to beat around the bush. If you have something to say, please speak frankly!”

Hearing this.

Chen Xianhe was ecstatic.

He cupped his hands and said,”Brother Zhou, to be honest, 1 do have something to ask of you…”

Then, Chen Xianhe explained the predicament that the Chen family was facing to the other party in detail.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Mucheng’s face turned red with anger after hearing Chen Xianhe’s words.

” These cowards don’t dare to go to the Yun Nation’s battlefield to fight, but they dare to rob your Chen Family’s cargo ship!”

Zhou Mucheng was obviously a little drunk.” Brother Chen, don’t worry. If the Mo Family doesn’t come, it’s fine. If they really dare to kill you halfway, I will report it to the Qianyuan Sword Sect and exterminate the Mo Family!”

Zhou Mucheng’s words were filled with killing intent.

Even Chen Daoxuan felt a chill.

Chen Xianhe was overjoyed to hear this promise. He quickly cupped his hands and said, “”I’ll leave this matter to Brother Zhou.”

“That’s easy. Come, cheers!”

“Alright, cheers!”

The two of them downed the wine.

After drinking the wine, Chen Xianhe gave Chen Daoxuan a look.

Chen Daoxuan understood and quietly took out a jade box from his storage bag. He smiled at Zhou Siliang and said, “”Brother Zhou, you and I hit it off at first sight. 1 bought a little something not long ago. Please accept it.”

“All?”

Zhou Siliang was just listening to his father and Chen Xianhe, who often bribed him, calling each other brothers. The next second, he was being presented with gifts in public. He couldn’t help but feel at a loss.

“Brother Chen, what do you mean?”

Zhou Mucheng put down his wine glass and put on a displeased expression.

“Brother Zhou, it’s a good thing that our children are willing to get close, isn’t it?”

Zhou Siliang looked at his father eagerly. When his father nodded, he couldn’t wait to take the jade box.

Zhou Mucheng was slightly dissatisfied when he saw his son’s useless appearance.

Fortunately, Zhou Sicheng did not open the jade box in front of everyone, giving him some face.

The banquet lasted for more than four hours before it ended.

During the meal.

Zhou Mucheng and Chen Xianhe talked about the past of the Southern Mountain’s City. They regretted not meeting each other earlier.

After leaving.

Zhou Mucheng and his son sat on the Cloud Treading Beast Carriage and walked on the streets of the core business district.

Zhou Siliang couldn’t help but feel curious as he looked at the starry night sky outside the car.

He quickly took out the jade box that Chen Daoxuan had given him from his storage bag and removed the restriction on it.

As the jade box was opened, spiritual light flashed in the carriage.

“Whoa! What a big deal!”

Zhou Siliang exclaimed when he saw the treasure in the jade box.

Zhou Mucheng looked over when he heard the voice. His pupils could not help but shrink slightly.

What was in the jade box was not a small gift for Zhou Siliang. It was clearly a big gift for him, Zhou Mucheng!

Inside the jade box.

Ten Water Spirit Pearls lay quietly inside, five Level Two Water Spirit Pearls and five Level One Water Spirit Pearls.

The five Grade One Water Spirit Pearls were probably a gift for Zhou Siliang. To Zhou Mucheng, they were not worth much.

However, the value of five Tier 2 Water Spirit Beads was shocking.

The last time Chen Daoxuan went to the Zhou Auction House, the starting price of a Grade Two Water Spirit Pearl was 1,000 spirit stones.

If these five Water Spirit Pearls were to be auctioned off, they could be sold for more than six thousand spirit stones.

Even if Zhou Mucheng could buy it at the family’s internal price, he would still have to spend 5,000 spirit stones.

Even for a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator like him, this gift could not be considered cheap!

He thought about it for a moment.

Zhou Mucheng knew that the Chen family might have dug out all their secrets to give this gift.

One had to know that the profits of a low-grade Level One magic tool were extremely low. It was unknown how long it would take for those special craftsmen of the Chen family to earn so much profit.

Thinking of this, his impression of Chen Xianhe became even better.

The clan members were united, the clan leader had courage, and there was also an outstanding junior like Chen Daoxuan.

Zhou Mucheng had a premonition that if the Chen family could survive this calamity, they would definitely have a place in Guang ‘an Prefecture in the future.

Thinking of this…

He took out five Grade Two Water Spirit Beads from the jade box and placed them in his storage bag.’These five Water Spirit Pearls belong to me.”

Hearing this, Zhou Sicheng’s young face instantly fell.

Seeing him like this.

Zhou Mucheng shook his head and threw a storage bag over. He laughed and said,”Alright, there are 1,000 spirit stones in here. Treat it as me buying you, alright?”

Then, she reminded him,” You have to save your money, understand? Don’t just run around the hook every day.”

After saying that, she rubbed her son’s head dotingly.

“Alright! 1 understand. Thank you, Father!”

Zhou Sicheng happily accepted the thousand spirit stones.

Although he said that, he was thinking that he should find his good brothers and have a good time tomorrow.

Chen Xianhe and Chen Daoxuan returned to the Rainbow Sonar Flying Sword Shop.

The two of them looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief. Then, the two of them laughed loudly.

“This matter has succeeded!”

Chen Xianhe did not expect to be so lucky to meet his colleague from the Southern Mountain’s City 50 years ago.

Chen Daoxuan nodded heavily, and the huge stone that was pressing down on his heart was completely put down.

With Zhou Mucheng’s help, it was fine if the Mo family did not come. If they dared to come, they would definitely die without a burial place!

He laughed for a while.

Chen Xianhe stopped laughing and said coldly, “”Next, we’ll let the Mo family get into our trap.”

“Thirteenth Uncle, what do you plan to do?”

“Listen to me…”
