Playing the male antagonist in a melodramatic novel is fine for a bit of fun.

Chen Zhou, who was scrolling through his phone reading a novel, raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"

As siblings, Chen Xin naturally understood that Chen Zhou was asking a question, and immediately began to answer: "Tu Ming is dead. News came from the Wen family that Tu Ming was looking at the assassin section on the dark web before he died, and it seems that he wanted to kill his brother."

Chen Zhou nodded, but immediately lost interest.

He did it himself, thinking it was something interesting.

However, Chen Xin seemed to have a lot of emotions, so as her older brother, he naturally planned to cooperate and express some corresponding emotions.

Therefore, he agreed, saying, "That certainly shows some courage."

Unexpectedly, Chen Xin stared at Chen Zhou with a death stare: "You're not allowed to like her!"

"She found a body double. Although her body is still clean, her spirit is no longer clean!"

"Brother, you're so handsome and have such a bright future, you can't date someone like that!"

Chen Xin admitted that Wenrou was indeed capable and decisive in dealing with Tu Ming so quickly, even though the investigation revealed that he had only suffered cardiac arrest.

However, these facts cannot erase the fact that she once used a body double.

A woman with a brain that's so irrational doesn't deserve her brother.

She said all this because she was afraid that her brother would have a biased view of Wenrou because of their childhood friendship and would be easily won over by her.

Chen Zhou looked at his phone and saw that Wen's subsidiary, Wenxin Entertainment, had quickly severed ties with Tu Ming.

While disclosing the details, they also revealed in detail how much they had spent on Tu Ming over the years, which was completely disproportionate to what Tu Ming had earned.

For those who were targeted by Tu Ming or even left the entertainment industry, Wenxin Entertainment provided corresponding compensation and even signed them, which greatly improved their public image.

Furthermore, many entertaining celebrities also stepped forward to profit from Tu Ming's misfortune, gaining a significant amount of online traffic.

All of this was done with gentle care.

Chen Zhou also admitted that Wenrou is indeed very skillful.

He reopened the novel page: "Don't worry, I have no romantic feelings for Wenrou."

In terms of appearance alone, there is no woman in this world whose beauty can compare to those female cultivators in the cultivation world of my previous life.

Chen Zhou's eye for talent had long been honed to be extremely discerning.

Furthermore, those who cultivate and those who don't are no longer the same species; their perspectives on things will be different, so how could they possibly come together?

Just like how humans and monkeys wouldn't get together.

Chen Xin asked suspiciously, "Really?"

Chen Zhou: "It couldn't be more real!"

The type of novels Chen Zhou reads are also those about cultivators being reborn in the city.

Chen Zhou found it somewhat difficult to understand the protagonist's behavior of building a large harem.

There are countless beautiful fairies in the cultivation world, so how did the protagonist manage to survive thousands of years in the cultivation world and still develop feelings for mortals?

Chen Zhou didn't understand!

The higher one's cultivation level, the dirtier one appears in the eyes of mortals. It's hard to imagine how a protagonist of that type could bring himself to harm them.

"By the way, there's a youth gathering in Shanghai in a couple of days, and your parents hope you can go and check it out."

Chen Zhou was taken aback, then suddenly realized.

The Shanghai Youth Gathering, as the name suggests, is a gathering of young people from Shanghai.

However, within Chen Zhou's circle, this gathering was actually a large-scale matchmaking event for second-generation rich kids in Shanghai.

In the past, my parents would let my older sister participate; at that time, it wasn't my business.

Firstly, because they hadn't graduated, and secondly, because they believed they would end up with Wenrou.

Now things are different. She's 24, and Wenrou has gone so far as to seek a substitute, so her parents naturally have this idea.

"I'm not going," Chen Zhou answered instinctively.

Chen Xin, with an expression that said, "I knew this would happen," said, "Mom and Dad said that if you don't go, you won't get your allowance next month."

Chen Zhou: !

Chen Zhou used all his money to buy medicinal herbs and materials to make his own cultivation supplies. His family thought it was just a hobby of his, so they all knew that Chen Zhou spent money quite quickly.

In this stage of preparing for foundation building, we are making preparations.

He spends his monthly allowance of 5000 million yuan almost entirely.

"They've got our weakness exposed," Chen Zhou muttered to himself.

Chen Xin nodded and typed on her phone, "Then I'll tell Mom and Dad."

Since Chen Zhou gave that answer, it seems he intends to cooperate.

Chen Zhou nodded and added, "Remember to tell Mom and Dad that it's not my fault if they can't find it."

Chen Xin rolled her eyes: "Tch, I don't think you'll be able to find it."

My older brother is undeniably handsome.

But over the years, apart from his family and Wenrou, no other woman has been able to get close to him.

That Liu Ruyan doesn't count; she was forced into the relationship.

So, having already clearly told himself that he wasn't interested in Wenrou, how could the older brother possibly find a partner?

As Chen Xin held this thought in mind, the vehicle drove past a barren mountain, and Chen Zhou said, "Stop the car."

The car came to a smooth stop.

Looking out the car window, Chen Xin's eyes flashed with realization: "Isn't this the barren mountain you bought a long time ago? Finally, you're going to use it?"

Chen Zhou nodded: "It's time."

Chen Xin: "I'll go with you."

Chen Zhou shook his head and declined, saying, "Maybe next time."

The formation he left on the desolate mountain had been activated, and at least ten lives had already been lost there. It was simply not safe to bring Chen Xin with him.

Chen Xin pouted, but didn't argue with Chen Zhou: "Fine, you have to bring me next time?"

Their family all knew about this place, but their brother had always been secretive and wouldn't let them come.

The Chen family is a place that highly values ​​privacy; if they don't allow people to come, they'll come secretly.

I've been here before, but I didn't find anything. I just felt that the atmosphere of this desolate mountain was very nice. My parents even said that we could live here when we can no longer walk.

I don't know what my brother is being mysterious about; there's clearly nothing there.

At this moment, Chen Zhou had already entered the desolate mountains.

The moment he stepped into the desolate mountain, he felt twenty-four pairs of eyes watching him.

Chen Zhou didn't care about this and continued to follow the established route.

None of those who were looking at Chen Zhou stopped him. They also wanted to see how far this young master of the Chen family, who had suddenly stepped into the scene, could go.

This barren mountain can be divided into nine layers around its core.

The first three levels are forcing people to quit, the middle three levels are for issuing warnings, and the last three levels are for causing death!

They had previously paid close attention to other members of the Chen family, and without exception, those members only reached the middle three levels before losing their way.

Moreover, the middle three levels they faced were completely safe.

So, they were actually waiting for the young master of the Chen family, who had never set foot here since buying the place.

Their intuition told them that the young master of the Chen family was the key to breaking the deadlock and the key to seeing the secrets of the desolate mountain!
