Chapter 62: The Darkness Under the Brilliance
Carriages from various families were already parked in front of the Fan Mansion. Several middle-aged men walked out and got into their own carriages.
"Lord Chenchen, please go this way."
What people didn't expect was that the Fan family actually prepared an exclusive carriage for Chen Chen. As soon as he went out, there were servants from the Fan family waiting for him at the door. How could they be so well prepared? They didn't say a word to me at the banquet just now.
Fa, what are you hiding in your heart? Let me find out. Thinking like this, Chen Chen stepped into the carriage with steady steps.
The aristocratic carriage is just different, and it is even more difficult after experiencing the cheap feeling of riding back to the academy - it should be like this, but now that he is living under someone else's roof, he always feels oppressive like the dark clouds in the sky before the storm. His intuition tells him that this is
The longer something takes to brew, the more dangerous it becomes.
The journey out of the city was not long, and after a while Chen Chen felt the carriage stop.
It should be here, he thought in his heart. But there was a servant who took him into the carriage before, and he should have taken Chen Chen down, but Chen Chen waited and waited, but no one came to greet him.
. He put his ear against the wall of the carriage. There was silence outside, and there was no sound at all.
Chen Chen opened the curtain and walked down cautiously. The dark clouds in the sky became heavier at some point, and the whole ground was pitch black. He looked around and saw that there was no glowing "Strange Dream Orchid" anywhere, except for the ink-colored grass.
Nothing.
"Chen Chen, are you down already? Then come with me."
A voice suddenly sounded from behind. Chen Chen looked at his face carefully in the night, and combined with the voice just now, he could barely identify his identity. Seeing Fan Chengxu here, he didn't know whether he should feel relieved or worried.
Fan Chengxu said nothing more and just walked forward in silence. Chen Chen quickly followed behind to avoid losing his way in the darkness. Although his vision was greatly affected, Chen Chen could still vaguely feel the direction they were heading in.
It's probably going downwards.
"Fan Chengxu, what on earth is going on? Isn't it about flower appreciation? Where are the others?!" Chen Chen jogged a few steps, walked to Fan Chengxu's side, and asked sternly. Originally, he didn't have any deep expectations for Fan Chengxu.
To answer him, Fan Chengxu unexpectedly stopped suddenly and said in a evasive tone:
"Chen Chen...if my father asks you to do anything later, you must agree to him."
Now Chen Chen could let him go, and immediately asked: "Why on earth did you bring me here alone? What else do you know?!"
However, no matter how Chen Chen pressed him, Fan Chengxu remained silent.
Finally, after experiencing the dark corridor for a long time, the walls that could be touched by the eyes on both sides of the body suddenly disappeared, and what was in front of him was a more solemn darkness, as if he had to use ten times the strength to raise his hand.
Fan Chengxu continued to take a few steps forward, knelt down in front of a blurry figure, and said, "Father, I brought you here."
"Okay, step back."
Chen Chen stood a few steps away from the two of them and looked at the surrounding environment with all his strength. The ground under his feet was a little wet, and there was a "Jin Jin" sound when he stepped on it; there was a salty smell in the air, it should be
Because of the underground situation, Fan Zuolin in front could not see clearly. He could only vaguely make out a human figure. He did not know whether he was facing away from them or facing directly.
"Father, what do you mean to him..." Fan Chengxu's voice drew Chen Chen's attention back.
"Get out!!!" Fan Zuolin suddenly shouted loudly, his voice traveling back and forth in the empty underground, shaking their eardrums.
"Yes...yes!" Fan Chengxu stood up, bowed and left tremblingly.
Fan Chengxu left, and all the pressure suddenly came to Chen Chen. The darkness was like a terrifying beast, gradually showing its fangs towards Chen Chen.
"Chen Chen, is that right?"
"Yes." He took a half step forward to show his determination.
"Thousands of years ago, the God of Creation created the world with his wave of hands, and then led countless warriors to open up territories and bring peace... After that, the God of Creation left, but left a wonderful gift for everyone here -
—Spiritual gift allows people here to control the basic elements that make up matter, spiritual energy!"
Chen Chen looked at him coldly and did not answer, but kept thinking about the other party's purpose in his heart.
"And you, Chen Chen! The God of Creation is so partial to you, allowing you to have such a powerful spiritual gift of 'nature'! Do you know, you are the fourteenth person to possess this spiritual gift, your talent, even if
All the people who have ever lived in this world combined can definitely be ranked in the top twenty!!!!" (What kind of fallacy is this?)
"Top 20! How many people have you surpassed since you were born? Even if you are unknown now, in the end you will definitely go down in history and even become a big shot who affects the lives of tens of millions of people! Think about it, when that moment comes
, how intoxicating!!”
Fan Zuolin stopped talking, as if he was waiting for Chen Chen's response.
But Chen Chen was not moved by his words at all, but said in a cold tone: "Then what?"
Fan Zuolin didn't seem to feel the distance that Chen Chen deliberately kept, and walked quickly in front of him, bringing a bit of damp smell: "Then...Chen Chen, you know, I have a dream: I hope that all people
We can have more and more wealth. The economy of Juyang City should not be limited to this. The people should have a better life. It is all because of those businessmen who took money out of our pockets and brought it to other people.
It's all because of them that the city of Yuyang has never been able to develop... And those farmers, yes, those farmers, they shouldn't have appeared in the city. They also brought down the average living standard of Yuyang.
Pulled down!!”
Fan Zuolin suddenly lowered his body, and his ferocious face was suddenly revealed through the mist.
"So?" Chen Chen stared at his bloodshot eyes, his tone still cold. But at this point, Chen Chen could probably guess what he was thinking.
Fan Zuolin took his head back, straightened his clothes, and said: "Hahaha... You also know that although Puyang City is not an imperial city, it is the real economic center of Pingchang State. And I, the lord of Puyang City, sit on
Most of the wealth and power in the city, the influence here is second to none. And you will definitely become a sensation in the world. If we join forces, even the supreme position will not be inaccessible to us."
