This was a matter related to the future of the Chen family, and Chen Qun did not dare to be careless. So he began to examine these children one by one, for fear of missing a genius like Luo Xiaofeng who had mutated spiritual roots.
But as time went by, Chen Huawu and several elders became more and more nervous. More than half of these children had been eliminated. They all looked forward to the fact that the next child would definitely have spiritual roots!
But until Chen Qun finished examining the children, the hopes of Chen Huawu and the elders failed to come true. None of the hundreds of children had spiritual roots.
But this is not surprising. After all, the path to immortality is not that easy. It is not possible to pick out one person with spiritual roots among millions of mortals.
Just when Chen Huawu and the elders were completely disappointed, Chen Qun said to them: "Did you miss some children? There should be children who have not come to participate."
After hearing this, Chen Huawu also looked at the elders responsible for this matter in confusion.
One of the elders hurriedly came out and explained: "Except for the children of the collateral descendants who are too remote, all the remaining Chen family disciples who can be summoned are already here."
After hearing this, Chen Qun said: "I don't think so!"
After hearing this, the elder said with some dissatisfaction: "Although you, Mr. Chen Qun, are very powerful, I am afraid that we old guys know better about some trivial matters of the Chen family. All the children of the Chen family who meet the requirements are here. , make sure nothing is missed.”
After hearing this, Chen Huawu also hurriedly came out to smooth things over and said: "Qun'er, the second elder and the fourth elder are always cautious in doing things, and there will never be any omissions. It seems that our Chen family is no longer so lucky."
The elder who just argued with Chen Qun was the second elder that Chen Huawu mentioned.
Chen Qun looked at Chen Huawu and then at the second elder, and then said coldly: "I wonder if the second elder has heard of a child named Chen Jie."
Chen Qun was really angry. He knew that the Chen family did not take Chen Jie and his son seriously. But he didn't expect that the elders of the Chen family no longer regarded Chen Jie, mother and son as members of the Chen family.
Even an ordinary person knows that blood is thicker than water, but these elders can make water thicker than blood when others are in despair. This kind of human kindness really makes Chen Qun very chilled.
After listening to Chen Qun's words, Chen Huawu also looked at the second elder in confusion.
The second elder's eyes flickered uncertainly. He must have known about this child named Chen Jie.
I saw the second elder saying: "Chen Jie, mother and son, spend all day in the Chen Mansion with the servants. If they are treated like members of my Chen family again, I am afraid they will lose the face of our Chen family!"
After hearing this, Chen Qun asked: "Since their orphans and widows cannot get help from the Chen family, if they don't do some work, are you going to let them starve to death? Besides, what does it mean to be treated as a member of the Chen family? Chen Jie is dripping with blood." The blood is the blood of our Chen family, I think it’s not them who are embarrassed but the entire Chen family!”
The second elder was speechless by Chen Qun and was about to explain a few more words. But before the second elder could explain, Chen Qun continued: "Chen Jie is the only child in our Chen family who has spiritual roots. As for the rest, you can figure it out yourself."
"What, how is that possible!"
Chen Huawu and several elders all exclaimed at the same time.
Chen Qun ignored them and turned around and left...
After Chen Huawu and several other elders reacted, they all glared at the second elder.
In fact, it is not a big deal, because this kind of situation happens in every aristocratic family.
However, now that Chen Jie is the only person in the Chen family after Chen Qun who can "cultivate immortality", this is related to the future of the entire Chen family, so the situation is different, and small things have become big things.
Chen Huawu yelled directly at the second elder: "Go and invite Chen Jie to me personally. If you can't come, you can go to the Chen family ancestral hall and apologize in person in front of the tablets of your ancestors. When the time comes, you too Don’t blame me, your cousin, for being cruel to you!”
The second elder was frightened and trembled, and said quickly: "I'll go, I'll go right away, and I'll make sure to bring Chen Jie to you intact."
After the second elder finished speaking, he quickly headed towards the place where the servants were doing odd jobs.
He couldn't remember how many years his cousin, who was the clan leader, had not been angry with him. This time he saw Chen Huawu show his true feelings, and he was really scared.
Chen Huawu looked at the second elder leaving and stamped his feet angrily. Then he ordered the remaining elders to settle the children of the Chen family and left here.
After the second elder arrived at the place where the Chen family's servants worked, they looked around. This frightened the steward of the Chen family, and he hurried forward to say hello. But the second elder had no time to pay attention to him and continued searching directly.
When he saw a weak body holding a big ax to chop wood, the second elder rushed over quickly.
He grabbed his ax and threw it to the ground, and then there he was like an old fox, fooling the simple Chen Jie...
It has to be said that Chen Huawu and the elders moved very quickly. In the afternoon of that day, Chen Jie and his son moved into an independent courtyard. Moreover, Chen Jie's mother also had several more maids to serve her.
Then Chen Huawu held another meeting of elders of the Chen family, and then the second elder was assigned by Chen Huawu and others to the ancestral home of the Chen family to retire.
Moreover, Chen Qun's uncle Chen Xiaoyun will be personally responsible for the daily expenses of Chen Jie, mother and son.
After doing all this, Chen Huawu took Chen Jie directly to find Chen Qun.
When Chen Huawu led Chen Jie to find Chen Qun, Chen Jie looked surprised and said, "Why is it you?"
After hearing this, Chen Qun smiled and said: "Of course it's me, but I can't be so rude in the future. Your father is my cousin, so you should call me second uncle according to seniority. Are you willing to follow me to practice? I will I’ll help you find a great master!”
After hearing this, Chen Jie said excitedly: "I am willing to follow my second uncle to practice. In the future, I will also become an immortal cultivator like my second uncle."
Chen Qun nodded with satisfaction and said to Chen Jie: "We will leave in two months. You can spend more time with your mother in the remaining two months, because once we leave, I don’t know when I can come back again.”
After hearing this, Chen Huawu, in order to dispel Chen Jie's concerns, said directly: "Jie'er, you can go with peace of mind when the time comes. My great-grandfather promises you that your mother will live a life of fine clothing and fine food in the future, and your great-grandfather will also have a good life in the future. I will provide her with a few more considerate maids."
After hearing this, Chen Jie hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Chen Huawu...
In this way, the great monk Chen Jie, who would become a powerful person in the entire Sky Blue Continent in the future, would slowly embark on the road of cultivating immortality...
