Chapter 441: Yin Gui Sect Grand Elder Arrives
At the foot of Longshe Shan.
The Chen Clan.
Chen Yuan watched the continuously gathered news; Baihu Cheng's side was preliminarily stable, no one came to disturb, no force came to harass, as if they all tacitly acknowledged one thing: that Baihu Cheng belonged to the Chen Clan and the Shang Clan.
Spirit Sword Sect, Heavenly Heart Sect, or Yin Gui Sect—none interfered in this matter.
The Shang Clan's side constructing Baihu Cheng had reached a certain scale, construction speed was fast, not affected at all by other matters; whatever happened in Wangdu could not affect this side.
The Chen Clan and Shang Clan invested considerable manpower and resources into construction; after stabilizing, no other forces disturbed, Baihu Cheng's construction speed increased, many people entered Baihu Cheng each day; the Shang Clan's side transferred some over, Baihu Cheng's reconstruction work attracted much attention, those people were still observing, but dared not approach or enter.
"Part of the Shang Clan has already moved over; Shang Yingnian and them have also begun stationing in Baihu Cheng; we believe they will all move over soon; our Chen Clan, should we also relocate part of us over?"
"Third Uncle Chen Shen asked Elder Brother Chen Yuan, this matter is not trivial; it needs discussion."
The Chen Clan's strength increased; likewise, personnel also increased; many Chen Clan branches were summoned back by them for cultivation; the Chen Clan's resources were ample, lacking many personnel; among the Chen Clan branches, those with talent were all given important roles.
Manpower was quickly replenished, greatly boosting the Chen Clan's strength; in this Baihu Cheng construction project, the Chen Clan naturally participated, not sparing effort; the Chen Clan's shops naturally also needed to open there, especially those selling medicinal pills and such—this is a profitable business, cannot be neglected.
Chen Shen was responsible for this aspect; he certainly needed to focus on it.
"Shang Yingnian also has to move over?"
"Yes, already in preparation; they will move over soon; then the Shang Clan will completely leave Longshe Cheng."
Chen Shen replied truthfully: "Elder Brother, do you want to go garrison Baihu Cheng for a while?"
Chen Yuan raised his head, looking at Chen Shen, always feeling that this younger brother had hidden meaning in his words.
"You… what does this mean?"
Chen Shen said: "Elder Brother, you should also go out for a trip; Baihu Cheng is relatively dangerous; letting Chuyang go garrison would be dangerous; I think you going over is just right."
The elder sister-in-law couldn't handle it; her own affairs couldn't be settled.
Then you go on a business trip for me; don't stay in the Chen Clan, lest everyone become embarrassed.
Chen Shen disliked Elder Brother's wishy-washy attitude; as for that woman Hu Yueer, she should have made a clean break early, not drag it on, nor hide it like this; it's bad for everyone.
You want to keep the child? Fine, no problem, but that vixen Hu Yueer is not easy to deal with; it's impossible to let her stay in the Chen Clan; Chen Shen's attitude toward Hu Yueer gradually worsened, knowing what she had done, plus Liu Yuer constantly whispering at his side, Chen Shen grew to dislike Hu Yueer even more.
Wanting to think of ways to drive this woman away, the head of the Chen Clan is the elder sister-in-law, not the elder brother.
Furthermore, Chuyang doesn't like that woman Hu Yueer; he naturally stands on the nephew's side.
"Third Brother, are you…?"
Chen Shen quickly denied: "Elder Brother, you should still go to Baihu Cheng; when it stabilizes there, you can come back."
Chen Chen beside him nodded: "Elder Brother, Third Brother is right; you, go on a trip; the Chen Clan side doesn't need you temporarily."
Go on a trip, reflect well on yourself; when you figure things out, come back later.
Otherwise, you should stay outside.
They have already given this elder brother plenty of time; the result is his behavior disappointed them greatly.
In response, send the elder brother out; the Chen Clan side temporarily doesn't need him.
"You two?" Chen Yuan unexpectedly looked at Second Brother and Third Brother, never expecting they actually wanted to drive him away.
He is their elder brother, the head of the Chen Clan; how could they do this?
"Elder Brother, you should just listen."
"Right, Elder Brother, you shouldn't make things difficult for us."
Chen Yuan looked at the two of them, helplessly smiling: "Alright, you two had better not cause trouble."
"Elder Brother, rest assured, we know what to do."
Chen Shen spoke deeply, having already decided in his heart what to do.
For some things, if Elder Brother doesn't do them, we brothers must do them in his place.
Chen Chen and Chen Shen stand on the same line, but will not follow Elder Brother into corruption.
"Ah."
Chen Yuan sighed; before leaving, he wanted to make a trip to Longshe Shan.
Chen Shen rejected his proposal and sternly warned him.
"Elder Brother, as for Longshe Shan, you shouldn't go there anymore; Chuyang is watching over it, nothing will happen."
"Elder Brother, you should depart for Baihu Cheng right now."
The two of them, eager to have Chen Yuan leave, didn't want him to linger even a minute.
Longshe Shan is not a place he can go to.
Finally, Chen Yuan set off to garrison Baihu Cheng.
Long Ming heard this news, shook his head bitterly: "That's also good; properly reflect in Baihu Cheng."
"That woman Hu Yueer, it's also time to deal with her, lest he keep thinking of her."
"Since you don't know how to handle it yourself, let me take care of it."
Long Ming looked toward Longshe Shan; it was time for her to act.
Time has been given to Chen Yuan, but her husband hasn't done it.
Only she can do it herself.
Eldest Princess's residence.
A guest arrived.
Shadow Grand Elder met the Eldest Princess, smiling slightly: "Yin Gui Sect Grand Elder has greeted the Eldest Princess."
He clasped his hands, smiled, and kept his back straight.
He sized up the Eldest Princess; likewise, the Eldest Princess was staring at him.
After sizing each other up for a moment, the Eldest Princess coldly said: "I don't know why the Yin Gui Sect Grand Elder has come to see me; what is the purpose?"
The visitor bears ill intent.
The Eldest Princess Highness does not think he came to seek cooperation with her; this person's reputation, or his methods, are not weak.
Someone like that, coming in person, must have a problem.
"This Elder has come this time with two purposes: first, I wanted to visit the Eldest Princess Highness; I have heard that the Eldest Princess Highness is of heavenly beauty and fragrance, the most outstanding woman in Wangdu; upon seeing her today, it is indeed so."
The Eldest Princess Highness was not being fawned over; instead, she gave a cold stare.
The Shadow Grand Elder continued speaking: "Second, I simply wish to cooperate with the Eldest Princess."
"Oh? Cooperation?" the Eldest Princess Highness said with cold contempt: "I don't know what the Shadow Grand Elder wishes to cooperate with my palace on."
The Shadow Grand Elder's lips moved: "Naturally, that position; I think the Eldest Princess Highness must be interested in that position, and this Elder can help the Eldest Princess Highness realize that dream."
"Hmph." the Eldest Princess Highness stood up, gave a cold snort, her attitude not good at all.
"Grand Elder, please leave."
The order to expel guests has been issued.
