Chapter 498 Sending Chen Xuanxuan away?
Once upon a time, Chen Xuanyi was the most outstanding genius of the Chen family and a strong contender for the top spot among the new students. Even when he lost to Lin Qiye, he always had a hint of arrogance in his eyes.
But now, when Chen Xuanyi saw Lin Qiye again, the pride and resentment in his eyes had long since vanished without a trace.
Instead, there was a deep sense of awe and restraint.
"Vice Commander Lin... welcome to the Chen family."
Chen Xuan bowed slightly, his voice a little hoarse, but his manners were impeccable.
no way.
Lin Qiye is no longer a worthy opponent for him.
He's a big shot who can stand up to an evil god and who is treated as an equal by his grandfather, or even with a respectful title!
This enormous gap forced him to lower his proud head.
Beside him, Chen Xuanxuan, dressed in an exquisite evening gown, reacted much more enthusiastically.
She looked at Lin Qiye, her beautiful big eyes almost sparkling with stars.
"Lin Qiye!"
She still habitually called him by his name, her tone filled with undisguised admiration and excitement:
"You're finally here! Grandpa's been waiting for you inside for ages!"
"The day you descended from the sky like a blazing sun, your fame spread throughout the entire planet! Now the school is full of your fangirls!"
Lin Qiye looked at the brother and sister and smiled slightly.
"Xuan Yi, Xuan Xuan, it's been a long time."
"Don't be so formal. We're still classmates in private."
Upon hearing the word "classmate," Chen Xuanyi's tense body visibly relaxed, and a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes.
"Please, Grandpa is in the living room."
……
Guided by the two siblings, Lin Qiye walked through the winding corridors and arrived at the main hall of the Chen family.
As soon as I stepped through the gate.
An aura as deep and vast as the sea immediately enveloped us.
In the very center of the hall, on an antique-style armchair.
Chen Tianyang was holding a teacup when he heard footsteps. He immediately put down the teacup, smiled, and stood up.
"Haha, Brother Lin, you've finally arrived!"
The greeting "Brother Lin" instantly shortened the distance between the two and also showed Chen Tianyang's attitude.
Treat each other as equals!
"You're too kind, Elder Chen."
Lin Qiye stepped forward and, neither humble nor arrogant, grasped Chen Tianyang's outstretched hand.
The moment when two hands clasp together.
The air seemed to freeze slightly for a moment.
A glint flashed in Chen Tianyang's eyes. He was testing him. Although he meant no harm, it was a martial artist's instinct.
However, what alarmed him was...
Lin Qiye's palm was like a bottomless black hole. No matter how much power he released, it would disappear without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.
Unfathomable!
Chen Tianyang's opinion of him rose even higher, and his smile became even more sincere.
"Come, come, please have a seat!"
"Today is a family dinner, so there aren't many formalities. Please relax and make yourselves at home."
Chen Tianyang warmly led Lin Qiye to a seat.
Just then.
A delicate fragrance wafted over.
A mature woman with a graceful figure, dressed in a cheongsam, walked over carrying a tea tray.
"Master, Mr. Lin, please have some tea."
The woman's voice was gentle and pleasant, and her every move exuded the charm of a mature woman.
It was Shen Man, Chen Tianyang's personal secretary.
Lin Qiye took the teacup, his gaze casually sweeping over Shen Man.
next second.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, a strange smile flashing in his eyes.
As a mysterious and powerful individual possessing an extraordinary mind and the eye of a blade, coupled with his extreme sensitivity to the life force.
He could tell at a glance that this woman was different.
she……
pregnant?
Lin Qiye glanced at Chen Tianyang, who sat in the main seat with an upright expression, with a half-smile.
This old man...
Looks like he's still going strong for his age!
"What's wrong, Brother Lin?"
Chen Tianyang noticed Lin Qiye's gaze, his heart skipped a beat, but he asked without changing his expression:
"This tea...isn't to your taste?"
Lin Qiye withdrew his gaze, smiled meaningfully, picked up his teacup, and took a sip:
"No."
"Good tea."
"And...it's full of life."
This double entendre caused Chen Tianyang to pause slightly in his teacup.
He gave Lin Qiye a deep look.
really!
This kid figured it out!
Chen Tianyang waved for Shen Man to leave, then lowered his voice and said meaningfully:
"Brother Lin truly has a discerning eye."
"Recently, I've also had some insights and want to try more things in certain areas."
"I hope to be like Brother Lin, with many children... cough cough, to have them blossom and bear fruit."
Lin Qiye glanced at Chen Tianyang, puzzled.
Surely this old man can't have figured out his entire system, right?
Lin Qiye's extraordinary brain instantly began analyzing at full capacity.
Soon, Lin Qiye found the most reasonable deduction.
That's because his style of having many children and enjoying many blessings has definitely caught the attention of some people.
For example, this old man in front of me...
This old man probably sees his own abundance of children as a source of inspiration for a great emperor...
Just like Lin Yuechan made a similar judgment back then...
It is said that after the Dutch Rebellion, the great emperor fell into a deep sleep, which has lasted for ten thousand years.
During this period, countless human prodigies received different revelations from the great emperor in their dreams.
There is a greater than 90% chance that this is the case.
but……
In a sense, it doesn't seem wrong, does it?
Perhaps this system really was given to us by the great emperor, the ruler of humanity in this universe...
After figuring it out, Lin Qiye smiled.
"Old Master Chen's skills are still sharp..."
Lin Qiye raised his teacup, using tea instead of wine:
"Then I wish the Chen family... a prosperous and thriving population."
"Haha! I appreciate your kind words!"
Chen Tianyang laughed heartily, seeing Lin Qiye's reaction, he was right after all!
An old man and a young boy, two foxes, looked at each other and smiled in this Zen-like hall.
Chen Xuanxuan, standing next to her, was completely bewildered.
It's just having some tea...
How did we get onto the topic of "vitality" and "bearing fruit"?
What kind of riddle are Grandpa and Lin Qiye playing?
……
The dinner was held in a side hall.
"Come, Brother Lin, try this 'Dragon and Phoenix Fight'. I specially had the ingredients transported from the main planet. You can't find this flavor here..."
Chen Tianyang sat in the main seat and greeted everyone warmly.
Lin Qiye sat at the head of the guest seats, calmly enjoying the food.
During the meal, Chen Tianyang's gaze kept darting between Lin Qiye and Chen Xuanxuan, who was sitting opposite him.
Chen Xuanxuan had clearly dressed up carefully tonight.
A light purple evening gown accentuated her fair skin and beautiful figure.
As the apple of the Chen family's eye, she was usually the center of attention and adored by everyone.
But in front of Lin Qiye, she appeared exceptionally well-behaved, even somewhat reserved.
After several rounds of drinks...
Chen Tianyang put down his wine glass and said, seemingly casually:
"Brother Lin, speaking of which, you can be considered Xuanxuan's senior and boss."
"Although this girl has decent talent, she's always a bit slow to grasp cultivation."
"You're widely recognized as the number one prodigy in our galaxy. If you have time..."
Chen Tianyang paused for a moment, then said with a smile:
"Why don't you give her some pointers?"
"Whether it's cultivation or... other aspects, this girl still has a lot to learn from you."
The implication in these words is already clear!
In the past, Chen Tianyang would never have done such a thing.
But after understanding the "Great Emperor's Revelation," his mindset completely changed.
If Lin Qiye is truly the chosen one, then having Xuanxuan follow him is not a mistreatment, but rather a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Chen family!
It is even a long-term plan for the future of humanity, spanning thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years!
