Nine Yang Sword God

Duanmu's family was not inferior to the Chen family in terms of their power in the imperial capital. However, in terms of overall cultivation strength and influence in the world of cultivation, even three Duanmu families could not compare to the Chen family.    

    

The Chen family was a colossus, so naturally, there were many branches. Most of the rich and powerful people that came in contact with them were descendants of the branch family. It would not be an easy matter to get close to and obtain the Chen family's direct descendants.    

    

Even when going out to gain experience, he would still have to conceal his name, not being able to pull the banner of the Chen family. Only after passing three tests set by the Chen family's direct line of descent would he be able to travel freely and use the name of the Chen family's direct descendant.    

    

Because of this, it was not easy for the disciples of the imperial capital to meet the direct line of descent of the Chen family, let alone gain their friendship.    

    

But Duanmu Hongqiu had such a friend.    

    

At that time, the friend she had made was in a hidden state. When the two of them faced danger, none of them used their identity to protect themselves, so they both grinded their teeth and endured. In the end, the two of them escaped together and became sworn brothers due to that experience.    

    

When they returned to the Great Courtyard Empire, the son of the Chen family had passed the three tests set up by the direct descendant and gained his freedom. When the two of them connected, they found out that one was the eldest miss of General Duanmu's residence, and the other was a disciple of one of the few major powers in the imperial city, the Chen family.    

    

This direct descendant of the Chen family did not put on any airs when facing the wealthy kids. He only had good intentions towards Duanmu Hongqiu, so only Duanmu Hongqiu was able to invite her.    

    

"..."    

    

Hundred Flowers House.    

    

This restaurant that had a small reputation in the imperial city was the Xue Clan's property, and the Xue Clan was naturally the clan that Xue Yu'er belonged to, as well as the capital's famous Xue Clan.    

    

Duanmu Hongqiu was sitting at a wine table on the second floor with Chen Chang'e as they waited for Chen Huijing to arrive.    

    

Chen Huijing was Duanmu Hongqiu's sworn sister.    

    

Due to the previous drinking session, due to her strange personality, Chen Huijing had a bit of an argument with Xue Yu'er and the rest. Therefore, this time, Duanmu Hongqiu brought Chen Chang'e along alone.    

    

The two of them did not wait long, before the half open window was blown open by the wind. By the time the two of them reacted, there was already one more person in the room.    

    

A woman.    

    

A woman in a large black cloak.    

    

She raised her bright black and white eyes and glared at Chen Chang'e. Then, she spoke to Duanmu Hongqiu with some dissatisfaction, "Sis, you're not going to introduce us as friends again, are you?"    

    

Duanmu Hongqiu smiled and said, "Sister Jingjing, this time is a little different from last time. Last time, I just wanted my friends to get to know each other. Even though you left, I didn't say anything, right? Since then, I've learned that you only like to meet strangers yourself, and don't like to be introduced to you as a friend, so I've never introduced you to any new friends. This time is a little different, I owe him a favor, and he still has some relationship with you. "    

    

Chen Xiaojing did not even look at Chen Chang He. She picked up the jug of wine and gulped it down, wiping her mouth and said, "Him? What does it have to do with me? I have never even seen him before. "    

    

Duanmu Hongqiu looked towards Chen Chang He.    

    

Chen Chang Mo nodded.    

    

With Chen Chang He's consent, Duanmu Hongqiu began to narrate to Chen Chang He's story and the purpose of his visit to the Imperial Capital.    

    

As Duanmu Hongqiu was narrating this, Chen Chunyu sized up Chen Huijing openly.    

    

Chen Huijing was a very ruffian woman.    

    

Her sitting posture could not only be described as dignified, it could not even be described as courteous. With one foot stepping on another stool, her drinking posture was even more straightforward than a man's.    

    

There was something worth mentioning about her appearance, because she had a good foundation. She was a very good-looking person, whether it was her eyes or nose and mouth, they were all better looking than others. However, her lips had a slight curve upwards, causing her entire face to exude a charming aura.    

    

She wasn't like a direct descendant of the Chen family, but more like a bandit who dominated the mountain.    

    

It was said that dragons had nine sons, and so did the direct line of descendants of the Chen family. Although they were all dragons and phoenixes among men, all of them had very different temperaments.    

    

Now that he looked at it, it was indeed true.    

    

Very quickly, Duanmu Hongqiu had already explained Chen Chang He's purpose in introducing him to her. Only then did Chen Qin Jing turn to look at Chen Chang He.    

    

This was the second time Chen Xiaojing had looked at Chen Chang He.    

    

Her first glance was indifferent and calm, her second glance contained a little curiosity but also a little disdain.    

    

Chen Huijing said, "I have three things to say."    

    

Chen Chang Chen said, "Please speak."    

    

Chen Huijing said, "Since this is your own affair, why don't you do it yourself, instead seeking the help of others?" In your opinion, should my elder sister return to the family tree, or do you want to return to the family tree? "    

    

Without waiting for Chen Chou to speak, Chen Huijing continued with her second point, "If you really have the ability, if you really want my help, then I can give you an idea, and that is to kill your way into the Chen family and tell your grievances to everyone in the Chen family. Do you think that someone will pity you? Do you think I would pity you? "    

    

Chen Chang Ku's face was hot.    

    

These two words from Chen Xiaojing made it seem as if she was slapping Chen Chang's face.    

    

Duanmu Hongqiu's expression was also somewhat embarrassed.    

    

Chen Huijing continued, "Thirdly, of course, if you had come by yourself and asked for my help, I would have already kicked such a good-for-nothing away. However, you were recommended by my sworn elder sister after all, you don't need to look at the Buddhist Sangha, I have to give you a hand."    

    

Only then did Duanmu Hongqiu relax.    

    

Although Chen Huijing did things her own way, she would still give some face to this sworn elder sister of hers. Just like last time, although she did not want to come, she still came.    

    

Chen Chang Ku also endured his anger for the time being, and listened attentively.    

    

Chen Huijing said, "I can understand how you feel when you directly look for the direct descendant, but the main branch of the Chen family has confirmed that the change in the family tree is the last hurdle. The hardest part is not here, but the branch that your grandfather belonged to before he left." First, you have to make a name for yourself in that branch and get the approval of the branch elders before you can return to the family tree. Finally, the branch elders have to apply for confirmation before you can officially return to the family tree. "For elder sister's sake, I can help you find out which side branch you were in back then."
