The banquet was not over until evening.
The excitement of the day also came to an end.
Most of the guests who came did not leave.
Especially those who came for Xiao Chen, they all planned to find time to get together with Xiao Chen alone, so naturally they left in no hurry.
It was Xiao Chen who wanted to leave Xiao's house early.
He had wanted to go to the Duanmu family before, but now after hearing what Jiang Yu said, he couldn't wait even more.
But with so many people coming for him, he was too embarrassed to leave them behind.
People of the older generation are all arranged in Xiaoshan, while those of the younger generation are mostly in the surrounding mountains, or in towns.
People like Zhuge Qingyang and others arranged nearby, right next to Xiao Chen's residence.
When Zhuge Qingxi learned that Nan Gongling and Xiao Chen lived in the same courtyard, he immediately clamored to live in that courtyard.
Xiao Chen couldn't laugh or cry, this girl... why did she come to join in the fun, the place arranged for the Zhuge family is very good.
However, he couldn't resist Zhuge Qingxi, so he could only let Zhuge Qingxi live in.
Zhuge Qingyang was also very helpless towards his younger sister, he looked at Nan Gongling, and wanted to persuade his younger sister not to compete with her... Everyone has come to Xiao's house with Xiao Chen for several days, can Xiao Chen and her have nothing to do?
Besides, they also went to Naga together, and some things are already obvious.
But when the words came to his lips, he held back again, forget it, this girl can do whatever she wants, and leave her alone.
In addition, he was also ready to inquire carefully, how many confidante Xiao Chen...has!
This is related to his sister's lifelong happiness, so he had to find out.
This is also the task his old mother entrusted to him. It is best to lure Xiao Chen to Zhuge's family and let her check it out in person.
"Brother Zhuge, I just finished my work and went to visit Zhuge's family. I didn't expect you to come here first."
Xiao Chen looked at Zhuge Qingyang and said with a smile.
"It's not that girl Xixi, after hearing the news here, she insisted on coming... I thought about it, and there was nothing wrong, so I brought her here!"
Zhuge Qingyang also smiled.
"Come uninvited, as long as you don't disturb."
"Why bother, you come, I'm too happy to have time."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Since you are here, I am not in a hurry to go to Zhuge's family."
"No no, anxious, very anxious."
Zhuge Qingyang shook his head.
"what?"
Hearing Zhuge Qingyang's words, Xiao Chen froze for a moment, very anxious?
"Cough, then what, that's right, you saved me and Xixi, my parents really want to meet you, thank you in person... Besides, they also want to meet, and now they are very popular in the ancient martial arts world, known as Xiao Shaoxia of the 'Peerless Talent'."
After Zhuge Qingyang finished speaking, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, I'm so smart, I can't tell him what I want to see him!
"Uh, it's just such a small thing, isn't it? Besides, you and Xixi have helped me a lot."
Xiao Chen was a little dumbfounded.
"Also, I'm a thin-skinned person, so when your parents praise me, shouldn't I be shy?"
"Are you thin-skinned?"
Zhuge Qingyang looked strange.
"Yes indeed."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Why, didn't you see it?"
"No."
Zhuge Qingyang shook his head.
"..."
Xiao Chen was speechless.
While the two were talking, Zhuge Qingxi ran over.
"Brother Chen, what are you talking about?"
"Let's talk about when to come to our house."
Zhuge Qingyang said with a smile.
"Huh? Brother Chen, when are you going? You must go and stay for a few more days... My house is very interesting, and there are many interesting formations."
Zhuge Qingxi said to Xiao Chen.
"Hehe, okay, I'll go when I have time."
Xiao Chen nodded and said.
"Have time? I just want to call you 'have time'. I don't think it makes sense, so I came to Xiao's house with my brother."
Zhuge Qingxi pouted.
"Brother Chen, can you have an exact time?"
"Uh, this is really not accurate. Next... I have something to do."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"By the way, I went to the island country this time and got a lot of books about formations... You can take them back and read them. Before you finish reading, I promise to visit you at Zhuge's family, okay?"
"Really? Okay."
Zhuge Qingxi nodded.
"I've read everything you gave me before."
"Ok."
Xiao Chen smiled, and with a thought, a stack of books appeared on the ground out of thin air.
Crash!
Books piled up into a hill.
Zhuge Qingxi looked at the pile of books in front of him, and the smile on his face gradually froze.
Zhuge Qingyang who was beside him also widened his eyes when he looked at the hill-like book in front of him.
These are all about formations?
so much?
Thinking of the conversation between Xiao Chen and his sister just now, Zhuge Qingyang looked up strangely and looked up at his sister.
When he saw his sister's expression, he almost laughed out loud.
Just now...no one expected that Xiao Chen would come up with so much!
"This... all of these?"
Zhuge Qingxi finally regained his composure, pointed at the mountain of books half as tall as her, and stammered.
"Yes indeed."
Xiao Chen also suppressed a smile, you agreed just now.
"How about it? Is it enough to see? If not, I still have some here."
"No no, enough, enough."
Zhuge Qingxi hurriedly shook his head, held his mouth shut, and was about to cry. When will we be able to finish watching this!
One book a day, you probably have to read it for several months, right?
Besides, some formation books are boring and difficult to understand, and it is impossible to read one book a week!
For these books, do you have to read the Year of the Monkey?
"Xixi, in a while you pack up all these books and take them back...you can't let you go back empty-handed if you come to Xiao's house, right?"
Xiao Chen looked at Zhuge Qingxi and said with a smile.
"Brother Chen...can you bring a few fewer books?"
Zhuge Qingxi said pitifully.
"How can I bring less, these are very precious formation books, and they are treasures of the royal family of the island country... I would not be willing to give them to others."
Xiao Chen said seriously.
"Take it home, read it carefully, study it hard, and become a formation master... In this way, you can help me when I need it."
"I... I will study hard, but... what we said just now, can you change it?"
Zhuge Qingxi said with a bitter face.
"That's too much..."
"Hehe, just kidding, I'll see you when I'm done, okay?"
Xiao Chen touched Zhuge Qingxi's head and said with a smile.
"OK."
Zhuge Qingxi nodded, although there is still no specific time, but even if there is no specific time, it is probably better than reading this pile of books, right?
"Brother Xiao, these books are too precious."
Zhuge Qingyang also spoke.
"Brother Zhuge, if you say this, you will be out of touch. When I was in the island country, you also helped me."
Xiao Chen waved his hand and said.
"What did I do to help? I just gave a suggestion."
Zhuge Qingyang smiled wryly.
"That's also helping... In the future, there will be places where you can help."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Zhuge Qingyang looked at him, and then he didn't refuse any more, nodded his head: "Okay, if you have anything, just speak up."
"Well, I won't be polite to you."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"By the way, I heard that the Xuantian sent to the Xiao family, do you need the Zhuge family to say hello? The Zhuge family still has a bit of face."
What did Zhuge Qingyang think of and asked.
"No need to."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Looking at that Xuanhai, he should be a person who can afford to lose... If he really can't afford to lose, and the Xuantian faction dares to make trouble, I will go to the Xuantian faction for a walk."
"You really defeated Xuanhai?"
Zhuge Qingyang looked at Xiao Chen, his heart was shaken.
Although there is such a statement, most of the outside world does not believe it.
Furthermore, Xuanhai did not admit it.
But think about it, the old senior, even if he was really defeated by Xiao Chen, he would not take the initiative to admit it, after all, it is not a glorious thing.
When he was in Naga, Xiao Chen was not so strong.
Half a step of innateness... half a step of innate talent is the top master!
It can be said that half-step Xiantian is definitely at the top of the ancient martial arts world.
"Ok."
Xiao Chen nodded, although Old Xiao said that this matter should not be spread to outsiders, but Zhuge Qingyang and Zhuge Qingxi are not outsiders, so there is no need to hide it.
Besides, he doesn't think it's a bad thing if it's too ostentatious.
Now that he has this strength, he is not afraid of anyone except his innate ability!
"sharp!"
Zhuge Qingyang gave a thumbs up. Apart from these two words, he couldn't think of anything else.
"Brother Zhuge, does the Duanmu family have a large formation to protect the mountain?"
Suddenly, Xiao Chen thought of something, looked at Zhuge Qingyang and asked.
"The Duanmu family? Yes."
Zhuge Qingyang nodded.
"Basically, the Twelve Aristocratic Families, including other top forces, all have formations...but some were arranged later, and some existed before."
"What about the Duanmu family?"
Xiao Chen asked again.
"The formation of the Duanmu family seems to be arranged by my fifth uncle, thirty years ago? It should be, I heard him mention it."
Zhuge Qingyang thought for a while and said.
"It was arranged by Uncle Wu, and I know about it."
Zhuge Qingxi said beside him.
"Brother Chen, why are you asking this?"
"I want to go to the Duanmu family, thinking about learning about the formation, so as not to be besieged or something."
Xiao Chen also just thought of this, but he didn't expect that it was really a formation arranged by the Zhuge family.
"Brother Xiao, the Zhuge family has its own way of arranging formations, and they will not spread the way of breaking formations..."
Zhuge Qingyang was in a bit of a dilemma. If it was something else, he would definitely help, but it involved the reputation and signature of the Zhuge family.
Even Zhuge Qingxi frowned. They had been indoctrinated with this idea since they were young and could not spread it to the outside world.
"Well, I didn't say the method of breaking the formation, I just wanted to understand it briefly."
Xiao Chen can also understand that it is similar to the 'Confidentiality Agreement', if the signboard is smashed, not only will there be trouble, but no one will dare to use it in the future.
"Then I can tell you about the situation on my side, but... I don't know how to break the formation."
Zhuge Qingxi looked at Xiao Chen and blinked.
Zhuge Qingyang looked at his younger sister, although this girl was not serious on weekdays, she definitely knew what to say and what not to say on this kind of matter.
"Okay, wait for you to talk to Brother Xiao."
