Chapter 1373
“Mr. Chen, what’s the problem?”
Elder Zhuge inquired in dismay.
Chen Dong’s gaze flickered for a moment, hastily collecting the astonishment in his eyes and shifting his gaze away from the Eight Formation Diagram of Gods and Ghosts.
He rubbed his nose, “Sorry, it’s really because this Eight Formations of Gods and Ghosts diagram is too weird, I’ve only been looking at it for a while and I’m already dizzy, my ancestor, Zhuge Kongming, was worthy of being a perfect man of the past and present.”
Elder Zhuge smiled oddly, then gestured for Zhuge Qing to close the scroll, before explaining to Chen Dong.
“The Eight Formations of Gods and Ghosts diagram created by our ancestor, who was the best in the world, was also divine and extraordinary. According to my understanding, on top of this golden scroll of the Eight Formations of Gods and Ghosts diagram, when it was first created by our ancestor, it was endowed with some mysterious power by our ancestor.”
After a pause, Elder Zhuge gently stroked his beard and said with an arrogant expression, “Only those who have the direct bloodline of my Zhuge family can keep watching it, and what Mr. Chen saw just now was only the full picture of the Eight Divine Ghost Formations, but he could not see the specific cultivation method, which also requires the bloodline.”
Was it really certain that only the direct bloodline could watch the cultivation?
Chen Dong’s lips mouthed, wanting to speak but not to.
The reason for his astonishment just now was not because of the words as such, his words to Elder Zhuge were nothing more than words that meandered and covered up.
The real reason for his astonishment was that when he moved his gaze away, he suddenly realised that the corner of the Eight Formation Diagram of Gods and Ghosts looked familiar!
It was clearly the same formation as the one that Zhao Broke-Ru had set up in his villa on Tianmen Mountain!
He had gone to test the formation at the beginning because of Changless’s questioning, and the latter, when Master Kongkong ascended temporarily, also fought in the formation, so he knew by heart the way to enter the formation along the way.
The first time he saw the arrogant Master Zhuge, Chen Dong was a little bit upset.
The Zhuge family’s pride and joy in their bloodline was that they were able to watch and practice the “Eight Formation Diagram of Gods and Ghosts”, but it had already been pa*sed on by Xu Qingfeng, the Saint of Thieves, to Zhao Brelu, who had learned it all.
This fact was too much of a slap in the face, so Chen Dong endured it in consideration of the fact that Elder Zhuge was too old to bear it.
However, having personally felt the dizzying power of the “Eight Formation Diagram of Gods and Ghosts” just now, he was convinced of Elder Zhuge’s bloodline.
At the same time, Chen Dong was secretly in awe of Xu Qingfeng, who was worthy of being the Saint of Thieves!
“Mr. Chen, I have prepared a small banquet to wash your dust today, and at the same time thank you properly.”
Master Zhuge did not notice Chen Dong’s strange appearance, and said from the bottom of his heart as he collected his arrogance.
“Thank you for your kindness old master, the thought is there, Chen Dong and the Zhuge family will have a long time to come, today I hurried back, I still have to visit Qin Ye and the others in the hospital.”
Chen Dong smiled and clasped his fist.
The trip to the desert north had unlocked a part of the doubts in his mind, and now that the clouds had been lifted and the sky was clear, it was time for some things to be arranged to move forward.
Even if he was no longer willing to be manipulated by man and change his fate to replace everything, but as his father had said, some things were already predetermined from birth.
Chen Dong is definitely resentful!
But even if he did, it would not help.
One must always look ahead, look beyond the horizon.
Since the boat had already been built, it was time to set sail and sail towards the unknown sea of stars.
As for the rest, Chen Dong could only forcefully suppress it in his heart for the time being.
“Qin Ye and the others will be well taken care of in the Zhuge family’s hospital.”
Old Master Zhuge was a little disillusioned and said expectantly, “To this day, the Zhuge Family relies on Mr. Chen to have such a glorious prosperity, so I really want to have a drink with you, after all …… old man’s time is running out.”
Chen Dong was stunned for a moment, looking at the lost look on Master Zhuge’s face.
“Mr. Chen, the banquet has long been prepared, grandfather has closed his door to thank the guests for today, despite the discouragement, Zhuge Qing begged Mr. Chen.”
Zhuge Qing walked up to Chen Dong and whispered in his ear.
Chen Dong was not pushing back and nodded his head in response.
The banquet was set in the mansion of Elder Zhuge’s residence.
Upon arrival, the dining room table was filled with delicacies and delicacies, even the white wine was a collector grade wine older than even Chen Dong’s age.
To Chen Dong’s slight consternation, the dishes on the table were all still steaming hot.
It was clear that Elder Zhuge had taken this meal extremely seriously.
There was no one else, only Chen Dong, Elder Zhuge and Zhuge Qing.
The three of them took their seats, and under the auspices of Elder Zhuge, they exchanged gla*ses and waxes.
There was a lot of laughter and gossip.
Master Zhuge was very happy, smiling all the time, and whenever he raised his gla*s of wine, he drank it all.
Chen Dong also did not refuse to drink, as he had improved his martial arts level and his physique, he had gained substantially.
Zhuge Qing at the side was also full of smiles as he accompanied him.
The meal lasted until midnight.
Elder Zhuge finally slumped drunk on the table, Chen Dong was also slightly drunk, while Zhuge Qing was also drunk with a drunken red face and dazed eyes.
“Why don’t you stop your grandfather, he’s so old.”
Chen Dong spat out a mouthful of wine and said helplessly to Zhuge Qing.
Zhuge Qing smiled nervously, “As far as I can remember, grandfather has never had such a happy moment, as the head of the family, the theft of the Divine Ghost Eight Formation Diagram from him has trapped his old man in guilt and self-blame all his life, now the knot in his heart has finally been untied.”
Chen Dong was stunned and rubbed his nose with a smile, “Take care of your grandfather, I will go to the hospital to take care of Qin Ye and the others.”
“Mr. Chen, in the future, if you want to go to the mountains of sword and fire, be sure to tell me, Zhuge Qing will be the first to go through fire and soup.”
“Good.”
Chen Dong nodded his head and walked out of the restaurant.
The night breeze was slightly cool.
Chen Dong shook his head and secretly ran his Qi energy to dispel most of the intoxication in his body.
The few remaining parts, he retained.
The trip to the desert north had given him too much of a shock, and he needed this feeling of faintness to ease it.
Stepping out of the Zhuge family home.
At the main entrance, there was already a car arranged by Zhuge Qing waiting.
Chen Dong sat in the back row and said directly, “Go to the Zhuge Family’s hospital.”
The car started up.
There were no words along the way, and Chen Dong remained leaning back in his chair, half-squinting his eyes and nurturing his mind.
The neon lights flying backwards outside the window told him that he had arrived in the city.
Finally.
The car pulled up in front of the hospital and the shrill sound of an ambulance came.
Chen Dong stretched, opened the door and got out of the car.
“Thanks.”
Just as he was about to take a step towards the hospital.
The driver inside the car, who had remained silent the entire time, suddenly said, “Broken Ruler has given you trouble, that boy has bothered you, he is extremely talented, but unfortunately, he has a lazy personality and is not doing his job.”
Boom!
Chen Dong was struck by lightning, and the few remaining moments of drunkenness were instantly gone.
The moment he froze in place, his back tingled.
It was absolutely impossible for a driver from the Zhuge Family to say such words.
The only one who said such words was …… the Thief Saint Xu Qingfeng!
Fear, shock and horror instantly crawled through his entire body like countless ants.
“Xu Qingfeng?”
Chen Dong turned around abruptly.
Almost simultaneously, the car leapt out with a fierce roar.
As fast as lightning, Chen Dong did not even have time to catch half of Xu Qingfeng’s appearance inside the car.
A mere magnetic voice came from afar.
“Greedy of heaven, lucky of heaven, you brat …… enjoy the remaining shade of your father’s generation, this game I am finally a chess move short of Chen Daojun, the great momentum has been achieved, help you!”
Chapter 1374
The night is cool as water.
The cold wind was biting.
Chen Dong stood frozen in place, his goosebumps rising in a thick layer, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his whole body in a state of shock and explosion.
Xu Qingfeng!
The Thief Saint!
How could he not have expected that Xu Qingfeng, the Thief Saint he had longed for in the first place, would appear in front of him in this way in the second, driving him all the way.
He was so drunk that he didn’t pay any attention to the driver’s appearance, much to his chagrin.
At the same time, a strong sense of trepidation haunted Chen Dong.
He had been sitting in the back row for the entire journey, just a stone’s throw away from the Thief Saint Xu Qingfeng, but he had not detected the slightest strange aura from the Thief Saint Xu Qingfeng.
With his current martial arts realm, it was a rare person who could not detect a strange aura at a stone’s throw away from him.
In other words, if the Thief Saint Xu Qingfeng had intended to do something to him just now, Chen Dong would have had his heart palpitating and his scalp tingling when he thought back to that short distance.
He stopped for a long time.
The shocking waves in Chen Dong’s heart only gradually calmed down.
Looking at the direction in which Thief Saint Xu Qingfeng drove away, he slowly raised his right hand and rubbed his nose: “What exactly is the legendary Thief Saint playing with Chen Daojun? Since it is a game, what is the so-called great power that the leader of the Thief Sect is so willing to give up and help me?”
Trepidation and doubts abounded.
Chen Dong smashed his mouth for a moment and turned back to look at the lofty towering building of the hospital.
“The so-called armful of power, is it just the Zhuge Family?”
Without further hesitation, Chen Dong took a step into the hospital.
Hospitals, as places that carried the living, the sick and the dead, were never quiet even late at night.
The piercing sound of ambulances echoed in his ears, and every now and then there was the sound of people crying and howling.
Chen Dong crossed the outpatient building and walked to the inpatient wing, the noise around him, too, lessened considerably.
The wards.
Various instruments were switched on and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant water.
Qin Ye was lying on the hospital bed, but had no desire to sleep.
Even though her eyelids already seemed to have fallen on iron and were unbearable, she still stared at the ceiling with bloodshot eyes.
“Girl, if only you could open your eyes and call me sir when you put on your wedding dress and hold flowers in your hands on the 19th of March?”
While murmuring, Qin Ye slowly turned his head sideways and cast his gaze out into the night sky: “That man, can he really bring me a turnaround?”
Creak ……
The door to the ward was quietly pushed open.
Qin Ye hastily blinked, withdrew his gaze and looked towards the door.
“Brother Dong, you’re back so soon?”
“Still awake?”
Chen Dong was a little stunned, “It’s so late, your body is important.”
“Can’t sleep.”
In the dimness, Qin Ye squeezed out a bitter smile, “It’s just as well you’re back, let’s talk?”
“Mm.”
Without turning on the light, Chen Dong pulled over a chair and sat on the edge of the bed, recalling the scene just now, still hard to suppress, so he simply took out a cigarette and a lighter and lit one up.
“Can’t you take care of a patient like me?”
Qin Ye said helplessly, “At least light one with me?”
Chen Dong smiled, handed one to Qin Ye, held the lighter and lit it, and as Qin Ye swallowed the clouds, he asked, “What do you want to talk about?”
Qin Ye held the cigarette in his mouth, allowing the smoke to linger in front of him, then slowly said.
“When Yu Lan and I get married on March 19, I want to ask Brother Dong to take care of Yu Lan for a while, and I have to go to a place.”
“Where?”
Chen Dong asked.
“A place that will give me the ability to protect my woman.”
Qin Ye smiled, only his smile was a bitter cone: “Brother Dong, in fact, when you asked me earlier if I would go to Black Prison with Daoist Uncle, I hesitated, but I promised Yu Lan that when I woke up, I would marry her.
I really, at that time, never thought in my life that I would want to marry a girl that badly, and never wanted to be with a girl that badly, get married, have a baby, at that time, I thought, after so many years of prodigality, I had to have a home, with me, with Yu Lan, and a baby in the future, or …… many, many babies. ”
“Everyone’s choice should be respected.” Chen Dong twirled his cigarette, his brow lowered.
“Unfortunately, ah, the world never has everything go smoothly, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind is not.”
Qin Ye shrugged, “I want to have a family again, God won’t let me, it’s all F**king bullSh*t, the day something happened to the Qin family, I watched Yu Lan and Xiao Qian scream in pain from their injuries, I went crazy then, just like when I took a knife and chopped up my dad, never had such strong killing intent, wanted to kill that beast, but I was simply no match for him.”
Speaking of this, Qin Ye’s features were all a bit hideously twisted, “I was like a mole, being trampled underfoot by that scum, and I realised that without the strength to protect my woman, who am I to give her a home?”
In the dimness, Qin Ye’s body was trembling.
Chen Dong’s fingers, twirling his cigarette, quietly twisted it to pieces as well.
In the dimness, neither of them could see the other’s expression, but Chen Dong could empathise.
He dropped the cigarette and enquired, “Brothers, wives, children, parents, friends, these are the things we should guard, if you want to become stronger, I will take care of Yu Lan, I will contact Chen Daojun and send you into the Black Prison.”
“No need, I have other places to go.”
Qin Ye shook his head, and at this moment his entire aura became stern.
Even when he was in the dark, Chen Dong could feel the sensation of pounding like needles piercing his flesh.
“I have been prodigal for too long, carrying the name of patricide degenerated for too long, now …… I have a family, have to give up my life for this family to fight.”
“Either you die or …… the king returns!”
Chen Dong’s mind shook: “After I left, someone has looked for you?”
“There was someone, I don’t know his name and he didn’t tell me, he just said that that boy Zhao Broken was too wasted and asked me if I was willing to take his mantle, and if I was, he could keep me under one person and under ten thousand.”
Chen Dong’s pupils instantly tightened, and his Qi energy shook his robe with an uncontrollable bang.
“Thief Saint Xu Qingfeng, what exactly are you counting on?”
“Thief Saint Xu Qingfeng?”
Qin Ye was stunned for a moment, “That’s quite a domineering name, I just don’t know if I can fulfill the promise to me or not.”
“Can!”
Chen Dong nodded dryly.
Just kidding!
The leader of the Eight Generals of the Thief Sect had, by himself, labelled the magnificent Thief Sect as his own, becoming the Thief Sect of the Thief Saints, rather than the Thief Saints of the Thief Sect.
The man who could gamble with Chen Daojun had already stood tall at the top of this world.
If he couldn’t put Qin Ye at the top of the world under one person, who could?
“Then go!” Qin Ye smiled spontaneously.
Chen Dong pondered for a moment and inquired in a deep voice, “Did he say anything else to you?”
Thief Saint Xu Qingfeng’s startling appearance had brought him too many doubts.
What was even more crucial was that the Thief Saint Xu Qingfeng was now going to accept Qin Ye as his heir.
He was curious about this legendary existence!
However.
Qin Ye shook his head, “Nothing was said, even he asked me not to tell you, but after thinking about it, I still had to tell you, too much concealment between brothers, then it wouldn’t be brothers.”
