Chapter 1837

When Xu Zhi died, Chen Guanlou had a guess that Xu Zhi might have some involvement with the Bai Shen Sect, such as money dealings, such as being threatened and having to use the Xu family's relationship to do things for the Bai Shen Sect.

But he never thought that Xu Zhi himself would be a follower of the Bai Shen Sect, and would never think that the other party would be in a high position in the Bai Shen Sect, a branch leader, and one of the twelve elders, this is incredible.

He didn't believe it!

How blind must he be, how blind, that he hadn't seen it for so many years.

"Must be slander!"

"When did Brother Chen become so stubborn, truly a bystander is clear. When you advise others, you are very reasonable, all kinds of bold guesses, there is nothing you dare not think of. Why, when it comes to Young Master Xu, you are so hypocritical." Zhang Daohe took the opportunity to ridicule, not leaving any face.

Chen Guanlou laughed, "You say I am a bystander is clear, I admit. You say I am hypocritical, I don't admit! Even if I jump out and look at this matter objectively, I still don't believe Xu Zhi would be an elder of the Bai Shen Sect."

"Xu Zhi, Brother Chen has overestimated him too much. Everyone calls him Young Master Xu, all because of his father, his eldest brother. A commoner, no money, no power, mixing and waiting to die every day. Once Xu Chuang dies, the brothers divide the family, destined to decline. At this time, the Bai Shen Sect gives him an opportunity, an opportunity to prove himself, guess if he will refuse?"

Zhang Daohe was confident, his tone was firm. A frustrated descendant of a noble family could not refuse the olive branch extended by the Bai Shen Sect: that is money, and also power! Although the Bai Shen Sect was defined by the imperial court as a cult and rebel, money and power were real and held in hand.

Chen Guanlou snorted coldly, "Xu Zhi wants to be an official, just rely on the ancestral shade, and he can find a job in the government office. No need to do the business of losing his head. As for money, relying on the Xu family's name, as long as the Xu family nods, a large number of merchants are willing to lean over and offer profits.

Brother Zhang, you have no understanding of noble families, and you don't understand how deep the foundation of these families is and how wide the connections are. For them, money and power are easy!"

Zhang Daohe sneered, his expression disdainful, "Even if it is a noble family, one must pay attention to closeness. Even if it is relying on the ancestral shade, one must look at talent and ability; one cannot send waste into the officialdom. That is called inviting disaster! Xu Zhi is a playboy, no talent, no ability, neither literary nor martial. He wants to rely on the ancestral shade, the key is he can't rely on it! Brother Chen, don't be blinded by friendship."

Chen Guanlou shook his head, saying nothing would believe that Xu Zhi was the leader of the Bai Shen Sect, one of the twelve elders.

He firmly believed that this was an excuse made by the Bai Shen Sect at will.

Zhang Daohe sighed, dead brain, why couldn't he talk through it.

Usually such a shrewd person, why did he change his usual state this time.

"Is there any hidden secret between Brother Chen and Young Master Xu?" he guessed boldly.

Chen Guanlou rolled his eyes directly, "There is no hidden secret, my dealings with Xu Zhi, just check. I just don't believe the people of the Bai Shen Sect. That group of people is used to acting, full of nonsense. Believing them is not as good as believing myself."

In his place, whether it is the White Lotus Sect or the Bai Shen Sect, there is no credit. This group of cult bandits will insist on talking nonsense even when they are about to die, with no credibility at all.

Zhang Daohe was anxious, "This is prejudice!"

Chen Guanlou snorted coldly, "May I ask Brother Zhang, do you dare to trust the people under your hand? Your platform, your development model, organizational structure, all destined your internal filled with lies, lack of trust between people. You don't even believe those followers yourself, yet you persuade me to believe, what is the reason?"

Zhang Daohe sighed.

Unable to refute, all are facts.

A secret society, safety first. The premise of safety is strict hierarchy, doubting everything, doubting anyone. One must reserve for everyone.

"Forget it! I can't persuade you. In short, the 'truth' you want to know, I have already inquired for you, there is no second version. Believe it or not, it is just such a matter."

"Thank you, Brother Zhang!" Chen Guanlou arched his hands and said thank you.

"Will you continue to investigate Xu Zhi's case?" Zhang Daohe was curious and asked casually.

Chen Guanlou shook his head, then nodded, "It depends on the situation. If there is an opportunity, continue to investigate; if there is no opportunity, it can only be shelved."

The two chatted for a while, agreed on a new secret signal, and Zhang Daohe got up and left.

Chen Guanlou sat alone in the courtyard, drinking and drinking, the table was full of cups and plates, and he had no intention of cleaning up. He planned to ask someone to clean up early tomorrow morning.

He had the heart to ask Young Master Xu, but thought about it and gave up. The Xu family was already difficult enough, and he didn't want to make things worse for the Xu family.

Time slipped away like water.

Chen Guanlou learned from his eldest sister Chen Xiaolan that Huang Dongxue had married. Married to a rich merchant as a successor, being a stepmother to others. The rich merchant was very generous, directly giving the Huang family two hundred taels of betrothal gifts, plus several properties.

Just a few days ago, Huang Dongxue married in a grand manner.

Su Xuewen lay at home for two days, not eating or drinking, Chen Xiaolan was anxious and angry. She couldn't listen to what she said, so she could only ask her younger brother Chen Guanlou to come forward to resolve it.

Chen Guanlou came to his sister's house.

Chen Xiaolan signaled him to go directly to the bedroom, "Lying for two days, not speaking, not eating, just drinking some tea. It's really anxious to death. I really have no other way. You help me persuade him."

Chen Guanlou understood in his heart, and walked straight into the bedroom.

Seeing Su Xuewen's look of wanting to die, he was angry.

He sat down on the round stool by the bed and snorted coldly, "I didn't expect that the Su family could produce a love seed! It is said that big families produce love seeds, you are good, small families, not worrying about food and drink, all the thoughts are used on feelings. It is really on the head!"

He ridiculed, not leaving any face.

He felt that Su Xuewen was just full and idle. But if the family was difficult, and he had no money for romantic affairs, he wouldn't have the heart to be sad and autumn.

Su Xuewen had a sad expression, his voice choked, "Can't you just let me be sad quietly, can't you even agree to this little request?"

Chen Guanlou's fire rose, "Then how long do you want to be sad? Back then, your mother had already compromised and agreed to let you marry Huang Dongxue, it was you who gave up. Now you are making this look for whom to see? I tell you, one must have principles, don't regret after making a choice, even if there are thorns ahead, even if you kneel, you have to walk down."

"Even if there is a cliff ahead, do you have to walk down?" Su Xuewen retorted directly, at this moment he was not afraid of anything, just worried that a belly of anger had nowhere to vent.

"Don't you know how to turn? Don't you know how to find another way to bypass the cliff?" Chen Guanlou's gaze was very dismissive, "Besides lying in bed not eating or drinking, tasting the bitter fruit of your love, don't you know how to do something else?"

"What else can I do, she is married."

"She marries hers, you marry yours. There are fragrant grasses everywhere in the world, why miss a single flower!"
