196: Chapter 196 This time, Brother is different! He's already starting to fawn over me?

Chen Yi frowned slightly. "You wouldn't be thinking of selling these things again to go out and carouse with those friends of yours, would you?"

He had seen this situation far too many times!

Every time, Chen An would talk about making friends, mentioning heroes, elites, and the like!

Chen An never turned anyone away!

To him, everyone from all corners of the world was a friend!

It was just that his foolish younger brother was always getting swindled quite badly!

Rumors outside said the Chen Family had a foolish son from a wealthy household!

Taking those people out to eat and drink... those who know, know!

Making friends is originally a very good thing, but it's a pity that Chen An never turned anyone away and made friends with just anyone!

When you make friends, you need to make good ones!

When will you ever be as steady as him?

"Last time you made friends with that person from the Li Family, claiming they had a background and connections, but it turned out to be a swindler who conned you out of tens of thousands of Immortal Jade. If I hadn't covered for you, Father would have already beaten you black and blue! Which reclusive expert from which Family is it this time?"

Chen An put down the sword in his hand and turned around. "Brother, this time is different!"

This time he had seen it with his own eyes; this time it was absolutely different!

Heh!

Chen Yi looked at him. He said this every single time; Chen Yi could recite it by heart!

Chen An didn't beat around the bush. "I encountered a Family called the Gu Family! I just visited their Mountain Gate, and it's far better than our place!"

Chen Yi listened, nodding only symbolically.

How much of this was true and how much was false, he didn't know.

But the way his younger brother could convince himself after being swindled was truly something else!

"Oh! The script is different this time? Did you update the version?"

"Brother, the Gu Family is really different!"

"Don't give me that nonsense. So you intend to take this sword Father gave you and give it to that so-called Gu Family?"

Chen Yi just felt that this sword was a gift from their own father!

His own foolish younger brother actually wanted to throw that in too?

He was confused and bewildered, wondering what kind of love potion he had been fed this time!

Chen An took a deep breath and simply recounted today's events from beginning to end—the opening of the Immortal Gate, the matter with Manager Zhou Heng, and then the Gu Family!

He began to describe the layout of that Mountain Gate, the three formation-eye pavilions, the flow of the Immortal Qi, the arrangement of the halls, and so on!

He described them as incomparably magnificent, making one feel they were truly extraordinary!

He had even handed over his own Divine Soul!

Hearing these words, Chen Yi felt that his younger brother wasn't joking, especially regarding handing over his own Divine Soul!

His younger brother, no matter how foolish, was just rich; he wouldn't go so far as to hand over his own life to the Gu Family he spoke of.

Chen Yi was silent for a moment. "If it's as mysterious as you say, then this apology gift should indeed be sent, but I don't feel at ease with you going alone."

He glanced at Chen An. If the Gu Family truly had such strength, then the matter with Manager Zhou Heng was indeed the Chen Family's fault!

The reason his Chen Family had been able to survive in this Tiancheng Immortal State for so many years was by not causing trouble.

The Chen Family's reputation had always been very good, and those people outside at most just swindled Chen An's money.

Chen Yi had no choice; he had ended up with such a foolish younger brother!

"I'll accompany you. If you're trying to trick me, I'll deal with you when we get back!"

Chen An didn't argue back; he just re-checked the items in the courtyard and added a few more!

He ordered the attendants to prepare the Immortal cranes!

The apology gift was neatly packed into a Storage Pouch, held by Chen Yi himself, fearing that his foolish younger brother would secretly give it away again!

Soon, the two were riding Immortal cranes, flying through the clouds!

Chen Yi rode on the crane's back, his tone carrying a hint of scrutiny. "You said that Gu Family is better than our home; where exactly is it better?"

Along the way, Chen An kept talking about how good the Gu Family was here and there, then belittled his own home as worthless!

This made Chen Yi certain and positive!

He had definitely been fed a love potion!

See, see!

This is what reputation is!

Chen An didn't know how many times he had already answered, "Brother, you'll know when you get there!"

Chen Yi didn't press further, just shook his head slightly!

If it wasn't as he said, then he shouldn't blame his brother for how he was going to discipline him later!

Soon, the Immortal cranes landed in front of an open, mountainous area.

Chen Yi jumped down and looked around; there were only weeds and gravel, and the silhouette of the mountains in the distance was also ordinary.

He turned to look at Chen An, questioning, "This is the place you said was better than our home? It doesn't even have a wall! You wouldn't be trying to scam your own brother, would you? I'm really going to have your second sister discipline you!"

"Look, you're rushing again! Don't rush! Don't rush!"

It wasn't that Chen Yi was rushing; it was just that Chen An's reputation was like that!

The foolish son of a wealthy household gets swindled and even helps the other party count the money!

It left Chen Yi speechless!

But soon he would change his perspective!

Chen An didn't panic; he walked forward a few steps and cleared his throat. "Chen An of the Chen Family requests an audience, having brought an apology gift. I hope the Young Master of the Gu Family will convey this!"

After his voice faded, the Gu Family's Immortal realm appeared on the open ground ahead!

A Mountain Gate emerged from the Void Realm, first the outermost archway, the entire plaza, the waterfalls, and the halls!

Layer upon layer!

A vast expanse of mountains and rivers was revealed to the eye!

Chen Yi stood where he was, eyes wide!

He saw those three formation-eye pavilions and saw those two characters on the main hall's plaque!

He also felt that rich Immortal Qi rushing toward him!

This was not an illusion!

My god!

This scene was truly as his foolish younger brother had said!

This was a guaranteed jackpot, wasn't it?!

He had really encountered such a great expert!

Wait, no!

It seems they had actually offended the Gu Family!

After a long while, he whispered, "Good heavens, what kind of Immortal place is this?!"

A Disciple walked out from within the Mountain Gate and glanced at Chen An. "The Young Lord invites you. Please follow me."

Chen An acknowledged and tugged at Chen Yi. "Brother, we're going in!"

When Chen Yi walked into the Mountain Gate, his steps were noticeably slower than usual!

He couldn't walk!

He absolutely couldn't walk!

This mountain!

That water!

This Immortal Qi was majestic, and the Dao rhyme was overflowing!

Just as his younger brother had said, his own home was practically a stinking sewer!

This was the place where an Immortal should live; what good water, what good water, what a good place!

He tugged at Chen An's sleeve and lowered his voice. "Watch your words later; you absolutely must not offend the Gu Family! This matter is our Chen Family's fault, so we must have a proper attitude!"

He couldn't help but calculate inwardly.

He wondered if the things he brought wouldn't be enough?

If the Gu Family felt their sincerity was lacking, that would be the end of it!

Chen An glanced at him. "Brother, why don't you meet the people first?"

Chen Yi took a deep breath and continued walking forward.

Meanwhile, Gu Chen, Gu Qingshan, and Li Shuangxu were standing on the steps waiting.

They had received the notification in advance.

Of course they wanted the warmth of a door-to-door delivery!

Chen Yi looked up at the three of them. The one standing in the middle had a calm expression, but his demeanor didn't look like someone who had just achieved Ascension!

His temperament was also not something an ordinary person who achieved Ascension could compare to!

This person was definitely a heavy hitter!

The two beside him also stood steadily, not deliberately sizing them up, just looking over here casually.

Gu Chen spoke first. "Young Master Chen, you move quite quickly. Who is this?"

Chen An cupped his hands in a salute. "This is my elder brother, Chen Yi, here with me to offer an apology!"

But to Chen An's complete surprise, his brother knelt and slid right in front of Gu Chen!

Holy crap!

Is this starting to butter up already?
