"Senior Sister Chen?" Shen Mo heard the footsteps, turned around and saw Chen Mengze following him.
"The iron energy in this black crystal mine is rich. If the stone spirit is condensed, it will often be powerful."
"You haven't gathered your energy yet, so I'm afraid you won't be able to cope with it." Chen Mengze said lightly, "So, I'll come out with you to have a look, in case something goes wrong with you."
"That's it. Thank you, Senior Sister Chen, for your concern." Shen Mo said with a smile.
The two followed suit and started patrolling the mine.
"By the way, Senior Sister Chen, your birthday should be approaching soon, right?" Shen Mo suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about what kind of birthday gift you want?"
"Do you still remember my birthday?"
Chen Mengze was slightly startled, and a feeling of warmth could not help but rise in his heart.
In the past few years, I had deliberately distanced myself from him. I thought that the relationship between the two had faded, but I didn't expect that he could still remember this.
"As a birthday gift...if someone gives me a green wood sachet on my birthday, I will be very happy."
Chen Mengze hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Cangmu sachet?
Shen Mo quickly wrote it down and planned to reveal it to Guo Zhao at that time.
"By the way, if Senior Brother Guo invites me to stay with you in the cave from now on, I will look for you to come out. Don't stay in the room all the time refining elixirs and making talismans."
Chen Mengze said: "If you weren't here, Senior Brother Guo would always think of saying some strange things."
"this......."
When Shen Mo heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate.
He took advantage of it and created opportunities specifically for them.
It would be unethical if you take advantage and do nothing.
"What, you don't want to?"
Seeing his hesitation, Chen Mengze felt a little confused. He frowned and asked, "But what did Senior Brother Guo say to you?"
"Senior Brother Guo... you did ask me to help you."
Shen Mo didn't hide anything from her and briefly described the things he had done to gain benefits.
"You guy..." After Chen Mengze found out, he was ashamed and annoyed. He suddenly remembered the previous birthday gift: "Earlier, you asked me about my birthday gift, is it the same?"
"Senior Brother Guo was really unsure, so he asked me to ask." Shen Mo scratched his head and admitted simply.
After hearing this, Chen Mengze's original hope and excitement suddenly turned into shame.
Never talk to him again!
.........
Two hours later, Shen Mo and Chen Mengze inspected the Xuanjing vein and then found a stone step to sit down and rest for a while.
"Hey, seriously, what do you think of Senior Brother Guo?"
Chen Mengze held it in for two hours, but finally couldn't help it and spoke first.
"Well, he is a good person." Out of professional ethics, Shen Mo still gave him a good evaluation.
"Back then, my father was interested in recruiting you as his son-in-law."
"That's just Uncle Chen's wishful thinking. Things like feelings still require two people to be happy."
Shen Mo was shocked that she suddenly mentioned this, and felt a little confused.
Could it be that... Chen Mengze still has some feelings for herself?
But back then, the original owner was very active in this matter.
Chen Mengze took the initiative to refuse, and became much colder towards him after that.
Seemingly sensing Shen Mo's doubts, Chen Mengze said, "Do you know why I didn't want to at that time?"
"Why?"
"You are too weak."
Chen Mengze spoke without mercy.
Disliked.
Shen Mo couldn't help but touch his nose, but he had nothing to say.
Before time travel, the original owner was indeed a bit mediocre.
At the age of more than 20 years old, Uncle Chen still takes care of him. After so many years of practice, he has made little progress in the fifth level of body training.
At first glance, it is not a potential stock.
From a utilitarian point of view, choosing a husband is not a good match.
"I have a blood feud, so I cannot find a mediocre Taoist companion."
Blood feud?
Shen Mo raised his eyebrows slightly.
Uncle Chen followed his father to the Linjiang Sect to become a disciple, and there seemed to be some stories in it.
However, he didn't know much about it, and Uncle Chen rarely told him these past events.
But now, Chen Mengze seems to have the idea of mentioning it.
"Do you want to hear about my Chen family?"
"If you want to say something, I can listen." Shen Mo thought for a while and said.
"My father was born in the Chen Cultivation Family in Surabaya City. The ancestor of the family was originally a low-level casual cultivator. By chance, he broke into a ruins left by a Linghai Realm monk. This gave him the capital to rise and founded the family. ....."
It turns out that the ancestor of the Chen family got an opportunity and opened the door to the Qi Gathering Realm. Then he married a wife and had children in Sishui City, and spread his branches.
The Chen family was multiplied.
Thanks to the various treasures in the ruins, the ancestor of the Chen family rose very quickly.
However, within a hundred years, the small family gradually grew from a small family through marriage, property purchase, and various means, and finally developed into a large family in Surabaya City.
Together with the Liu family and the Wu family in Sishui City, they are known as the three major families.
The Liu and Wu families are both old-line immortal cultivating families in Surabaya City, with the Immortal Sect as their backer.
Naturally, they were dissatisfied with the sudden rise of the Chen family and the diversion of the city's resources. At the same time, they were also puzzled by the fact that there was no Immortal Sect to back them up.
Why can it rise so quickly?
Therefore, spies were sent out to inquire in various ways through various means.
The news about the ruins was leaked.
What the ancestors of the Chen family obtained from the ruins back then were just some magical elixirs and rare treasures on the periphery.
As for the inner chamber of the ruins of the spiritual sea realm monk who hid the treasure, the ancestor of the Chen family is temporarily unable to open it due to restrictions.
Therefore, the real secret treasure has not been taken away yet.
There is nothing new under the sun.
After learning about the ruins of the Linghai monks, the two immortal cultivating families, Liu and Wu, immediately became coveted.
"In order to seize the secret key to the ruins owned by my Chen family, the Liu family and the Wu family took advantage of the fact that Sishui City was under the orders of the Immortal Sect to fight against the extraterrestrial demons, and slandered my Chen family for colluding with the extraterritorial demons with the intention of causing harm to the world."
Extraterrestrial demons are creatures from the lower world and are natural enemies of human monks.
Today's Chiyan Kingdom is jointly controlled by five immortal sects.
In order to protect the peace of the country, the five Immortal Sects have specially set rules. All families and gangs that vassal the Immortal Sect must obey the orders.
If a demon invades, you must be ordered to fight.
If you have military exploits, the Immortal Sect will give you a lot of rewards.
But at the same time, if anyone dares to collude with extraterrestrial demons, it is also a serious crime.
If this hat is removed, even if the family is exterminated, no one will dare to say a word for the Chen family.
"Back then, the Liu and Wu families joined forces to massacre my entire Chen family. My mother, the An family, died in that bloody disaster."
"My father, in order to protect the life of the newly born me, escaped by chance. He was completely despairing. Fortunately, with the help and persuasion of Uncle Shen, he saved his useful life and became a member of the Linjiang Sect, thinking that one day, he would be able to retaliate. This family has a blood feud.”
It turns out that I took advantage of my father and Uncle Chen, and this is the past.
After Shen Mo heard this, he understood how Uncle Chen treated him as his own son.
"Everything in the world is unpredictable." Shen Mo sighed and said, "My parents also died in vain. Unlike you, even if I want to avenge blood, I don't know where to seek revenge..."
