After Chen Xiaolei opened the door and walked in, he noticed the difference in Chen Qun, and then asked directly in surprise: "Son, why has your hair turned black, and your appearance seems to have become younger?"
Chen Qun smiled at Chen Xiaolei and said, "Father, there is no need to make a fuss. Didn't I promise my mother that I would change my hair? Now, can't I change it back?"
After hearing this, Chen Xiaolei burst out laughing and said, "You kid can always do something different from ordinary people, and I'm no longer surprised by it now. Follow me to the banquet hall of the Chen Mansion, Uncle Shangguan and the famous people in Yanjing City The big shots are all here.”
After hearing this, Chen Qun tidied up a little, left Xiao Hei in the courtyard, and followed Chen Xiaolei to the Chen family's banquet hall.
Although the Chen family's banquet hall is large, it seems a bit crowded now because there are so many guests here today.
Except for the emperor's Martial Saint uncle who was in retreat and could not come, all the other officials in the court were basically present.
Emperor Long Ao was sitting in the center of the banquet, with Chen Huawu and Shangguan Wuji sitting on both sides. There was an empty seat next to them, so it goes without saying that this was reserved for Chen Qun.
When Chen Qun sat in that position, everyone was surprised. No one expected that Chen Qun would be so young.
Originally, this banquet was prepared to see Shangguan Wuji off, but later it turned into a situation where many big shots came to get close to Chen Qun.
They all took turns to toast Chen Qun, hoping that this young strong man could remember them.
Even Long Ao, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, stood up and toasted to Chen Qun in person.
Although with Chen Qun's cultivation level, no matter how much wine he drinks, he still can't get drunk. But it’s so annoying that I can’t hold back one cup after another. Basically, I don’t even have time to pause.
Although Chen Qun can't get drunk, he can pretend to be drunk.
Chen Qun waited until the banquet was almost over and then found an excuse to sneak out.
Chen Qun was alone, taking advantage of the darkness and slowly walked towards the back garden of Chen's house.
In the past, Chen Qun was always regarded as a transparent person in the Chen family.
But since Chen Qun gained extraordinary strength, no matter where Chen Qun goes, Chen Qun has become a well-deserved protagonist.
People who never took Chen Qun seriously before are now starting to fawn over Chen Qun.
When Chen Qun walked near the garden pavilion, Chen Qun heard some messy sounds.
Chen Qun took a closer look and saw that he was a boy of thirteen or fourteen who was practicing his boxing skills very hard.
Judging from the strength of this young man's boxing skills, he has already reached the level of a high-level warrior, and it seems that it won't take long for him to break through to the realm of an acquired warrior.
Chen Qun used his spiritual consciousness to check the young man's qualifications and abilities. He found that the young man's qualifications and abilities were extremely poor.
However, Chen Qun was a little puzzled as to why this young man could reach the realm of a high-level warrior at such a young age.
However, Chen Qun once again discovered that this young man actually had spiritual roots, and they were relatively poor four spiritual roots.
In short, Chen Qun's evaluation of this young man was that everything was very bad. This also made Chen Qun have some interest in this young man.
So, Chen Qun ran towards the young man out of curiosity.
The young man looked very nervous when he saw Chen Qun suddenly appearing.
He hurriedly asked Chen Qun: "Who are you and why are you here."
Chen Qun looked at the nervous young man and said, "Don't be nervous. I just passed by here occasionally. I just saw that your boxing skills are very good, so I came to take a look."
The young man asked again: "Looking at your clothes, you don't look like a servant of our Chen family. Are you also a collateral member of our Chen family? Why didn't you go to the banquet in front of me?"
Chen Qun didn't expect that this young man had a very good brain despite his age. He could also determine that he was not a servant based on his clothes.
So Chen Qun made up a lie and said: "Although I am a member of the Chen family, my status is low and I am not qualified to participate in the previous banquet..."
After hearing Chen Qun's words, the young man's eyes also showed some sadness.
Because of his humble status in the Chen family and his poor qualifications, he was ostracized everywhere. Even the boxing skills he is practicing now were secretly given to him by an old housekeeper who cared about him.
So, this young man started chatting with Chen Qun.
Slowly, the two of them became very familiar with each other. Chen Qun also learned the identity of the young man in front of him through the chat between the two.
The young man in front of Chen Qun is named Chen Jie. He is the child of a distant cousin of Chen Qun. He is fourteen years old this year.
Because Chen Qun's distant cousin died unfortunately at an early age. Therefore, the child named Chen Jie and his mother have survived these years by relying on financial support from the Chen family.
But the meager internal support was simply not enough for Chen Jie and his son's daily expenses.
Therefore, Chen Jie's mother started working part-time as a servant again.
Therefore, Chen Jie was always marginalized by the young masters of the Chen family who were of the same age.
In addition, Chen Jie's own qualifications were extremely poor, so not many warriors from the Chen family were willing to accept him as a disciple.
Later, mother and son could not even receive internal support from the Chen family.
So Chen Jie, who was only ten years old, gradually changed his identity from a young master to a servant in order to help his mother share the pressure.
Although he is named as a member of the Chen family, he does not receive the treatment that a member of the Chen family should have.
Until a few years ago, an old housekeeper from Nanjing couldn't bear to see the situation of their mother and son.
The old housekeeper helped the mother and son in every possible way, and even bought Chen Jie a secret book of "Hong Fist".
Four years later, Chen Jie worked during the day and practiced boxing at night. Through diligence and hard work, he reached the level of a high-level warrior at the age of only fourteen years old.
Although Chen Jie was still often bullied, he never exposed his martial arts skills.
In this way, the mother and son lived a much better life because of the help of the old housekeeper from Nanjing...
When Chen Qun looked at Chen Jie now, he couldn't help but think of himself back then.
He didn't know whether he was luckier than Chen Jie or whether Chen Jie was luckier than him.
Although Chen Jie's physique was poor, he could at least learn martial arts, and he couldn't even learn any martial arts at that time.
If he hadn't obtained the "Five Elements Yin and Yang Jue", I'm afraid his current situation would not be much better than Chen Jie's. Although there will be no shortage of food and clothing, sarcastic remarks are absolutely indispensable.
Chen Qun chatted with the kid named Chen Jie for a while and then went back.
But before Chen Qun left, he looked at Chen Jie who was practicing hard and felt slightly moved in his heart.
Perhaps qualifications are not the main factor that determines a person's destiny. As long as you work hard, everything can be changed!
Thinking of this, Chen Qun suddenly had an idea in his mind...
