In Xicheng City, probably because it was approaching night, the pedestrians on the streets were quiet, and the hawking sounds had long since disappeared. Only the occasional old man slowly walked home carrying a teapot.
Walking on the street, looking at the familiar buildings everywhere, Ou Chen seemed to have returned to his childhood.
Back to Yucheng, Ou Chen was not in a hurry to return to the Ou family, but sent Han Xue directly to the Han family. At the door of Han's house, the housekeeper who was about to go out had just reached the door. When he looked up, he suddenly saw two familiar figures.
"Miss?" Looking at Han Xue, whose face was still recognizable even though he had matured a lot, the first housekeeper said in surprise.
Walking forward quickly, after looking Han Xue up and down and confirming that this was indeed the lovely young lady two years ago, the butler showed an excited smile on his face.
"Butler!" Han Xue greeted the butler softly with a slight raise of the corner of her mouth.
Although there is no trace of Han Fei in this Han family, no matter what, this will always be her home, and these people are also members of the Han family.
Looking at them, Han Xue felt a little warm in her heart after being alone for two years.
"Haha, Miss, it's really you. You are finally back. We have been looking forward to you every day. How are you? Are you suffering outside?" With a kind smile, the first housekeeper asked with concern.
"Well, it's okay. Everything is fine outside. How are you?"
"We are all fine. Come on, stop standing here and go home quickly! Everyone will be so happy to see you." Nodding, the butler hurriedly introduced Han Xue.
"You go back first! I'll go home first, and I'll come back to you after I've settled things at home." Seeing Han Xue's gaze tilted towards him, Ou Chen said with a slight smile.
As soon as Ou Chen spoke, the butler turned his attention to him, but there was a strange look in his eyes.
Their eyes met, and Ou Chen was startled when he saw the butler's strange look, but he didn't know what it meant.
"This is the Young Master of the Ou family, right? If it's convenient, come in and sit for a while!" His face changed slightly, and the butler said cautiously.
"Thank you for your kindness, butler. I haven't been home for a long time. When I have time, I will definitely pay you a visit." Hearing the euphemistic tone of the butler, Ou Chen immediately said the same.
Indeed, in the current situation of the Ou family, it is best to draw a clear line with them. If he really gets too close to the Ou family, if he is targeted by people from the Xulin Sect, then his small family, the Han family, will Don't even think about staying any longer.
"Then if that's the case, I won't give it away. Let's talk about it when we have time!" With a slight smile, the butler said politely. He nodded lightly and glanced at Han Xue again. Under Han Xue's reluctant eyes, Ou Chen turned around and left the door of Han's house.
??The Ou family, at this time, the entire Ou family seems to be so depressed, and everyone's face has lost the smiles of the past. The impact that the Xulin Sect brought to them before is still affecting the entire Ou family.
On the tall wall of the Ou Family Courtyard, shrouded in the dusk, a black shadow quietly flashed up without disturbing anyone.
Back at Ou¡¯s house, Ou Chen did not go back directly through the front door, but chose to sneak in quietly because he wanted to surprise Ou Yi and Liu Yun, so he quietly climbed up the wall.
He paused and glanced around the courtyard. But at this time, his brows couldn't help but frown.
Because within sight, the lively scene before did not appear. The occasionally bustling people had no smiles on their faces. Even if it was approaching night, the Ou family would not be like this! This atmosphere vaguely gave Ou Chen an ominous premonition.
With a trace of doubt on his face, Ou Chen moved and easily avoided several patrolling guards, then followed a familiar route and ran directly towards Ou Yi's study.
His body moved quickly, and after a moment, his footsteps were as light as a ghost's and he stopped in front of a familiar door.
Looking forward, the lights in the house were already on. Under the soft light, Ou Chen could see a shadow walking around the room.
After scanning the surrounding area to make sure that no one was passing by, he stepped lightly and quietly walked towards the door of the study.
With his palm touching the door that he had pushed countless times before, Ou Chen pushed, and with the sound of wood squeezing, the door with the faint light shining was pushed open by him.
"Gah!" The door opened little by little, and the face of the figure inside was reflected in Ou Chen's pupils little by little
However, after seeing clearly the face of the figure inside, a faint look of surprise appeared on Ou Chen's face.
The figure inside is none other than the second elder of the Ou family, Ou Jin.
Someone came in uninvited. The second elder was also startled at the moment, and his vigilant eyes swept over. However, after seeing the face of the person clearly, the second elder was startled.
In the past two years, although the childish look on Ou Chen's face has faded a lot, the second elder recognized that face at first sight.
"Chen'er?"
"Second Elder?" Their eyes met, and they both said in shock at the same time.
Normally, these elders never enter Ou Yi's study, and others are strictly prohibited from entering. But now, the somewhat abnormal second elder appears in Ou Yi's study. Moreover, at this time, Ou Yi is not there yet. This had to make Ou Chen a little puzzled.
"Haha, Chen'er, when did you come back? Why didn't anyone notify me?" The look of surprise on his face subsided slightly. The second elder took two steps in front of Ou Chen, looked at Ou Chen up and down and smiled happily.
"I just came back. Others don't know yet. I just want to give you a surprise. By the way, Second Elder, where is my father?" Ou Chen asked with a slight smile.
Hearing this, the expression on the second elder's face suddenly stiffened, and his eyes flashed with the same look as that of the Han family's butler.
Looking at this scene, Ou Chen's heart suddenly froze, his heart beating speed suddenly accelerated, and an ominous premonition completely enveloped him.
In the study room, the atmosphere suddenly changed. After a brief pause, the second elder sighed deeply.
Ou Chen will know about Ou Yi sooner or later. He knows that it is impossible to hide this matter from Ou Chen. In this case, the second elder does not want to hide too much.
"Hey! You should be mentally prepared first and promise me not to be impulsive." Before speaking, the second elder also gave Ou Chen a transition. After seeing Ou Chen nodded, he slowly said: "Your father, He passed away a year ago"
"Boom!" A powerful wave of air suddenly exploded from the young man in the room. "What?" Ou Chen interrupted the second elder before he could finish his words.
Under the strong wave of energy, the second elder took two steps back. Looking at the agitated Ou Chen, the second elder quickly stepped forward and grabbed Ou Chen's arm, "Don't get excited first. Calm down first. I'll take my time." Let me tell you in detail."
Breathing heavily, Ou Chen stared at the second elder with wide eyes. When the second elder's words came into his ears, Ou Chen felt his whole head buzzing, as if he was hit by thousands of waves of energy, and his whole body was filled with energy and blood. It instantly rushed to the top of my head.
Ou Yi is dead. This concept, which had never occurred to Ou Chen in his mind, suddenly hit him. It was obviously difficult for Ou Chen to accept it.
"Hey! Originally, the Ou family had been going smoothly because of the reputation you made in the capital last time. But just a year ago, Huang Yi, the first pharmacist of the Xulin Sect, suddenly came to the door and said that he wanted to find you to avenge his disciple. You also know your father's temper. Five martial kings came to the other party at that time. How could our small Ou family resist? At that time, your father and the eldest elder both died tragically in their hands. Fortunately, Dongfang Shuo of the Dongfang family arrived at that time. Otherwise, I am afraid that the entire Ou family would have ceased to exist." He sighed deeply, and while speaking, the second elder could only shake his head helplessly, although in his heart Full of hatred, but the gap between power and strength, he could only maintain the entire Ou family in this difficult way.
"Xulin Sect! Huang Yi!" His silver teeth clenched together tightly, and a few words came out of his mouth one by one. His eyes were completely filled with coldness, and a murderous aura swept away that made the two elders beside him tremble.
This state of not making much movement lasted for a while. After a while, Ou Chen, who was standing there with his body trembling slightly, suddenly looked up to the sky and roared.
"ah¡¡¡"
"Xulin Sect, I, Ou Chen, swear to God, I will fight you until death!" His eyes were filled with blood red, his face was twitching violently, his fists were clenched, and the unique oppression of the strong King Wu was finally suppressed. Wait, as the violent energy completely exploded, the tables and chairs in the study gradually burst open, and finally turned into powder. Under the strong oppression and the heart-stopping violence, even the second elder had a little cold sweat on his forehead. Obviously, Ou Chen was completely outraged by Ou Yi's death.
The clenched fists were too hard, and the nails were embedded in the palms of the hands, and drops of blood slowly dripped from the fists.
Slowly loosening his fist, he touched the space ring with his blood-stained palm, and four smooth soul jade simply flashed in his palm.
With a strong murderous look on his face, the palm holding the soul jade slip slowly grasped it.With a touch of his finger, four smooth soul jade simply flashed in the palm of his hand.
