Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

58: Innate swordsmanship, a guest from the Zhao family!Amidst the congratulations of the crowd, the newlyweds completed the ceremony, and everyone enjoyed a lively meal; as night fell, the two were escorted into the bridal chamber.

Inside the new room, red gauze curtains and lit red candles created an alluring atmosphere.

Chen Chuanwen lifted the red cloth from Xiao Wen’s head, revealing a beautiful face flushed with a rosy glow.

”Xiao Wen...”

Chen Chuanwen called out softly, but Xiao Wen blocked his lips with her finger.

”Now that we are married, you should call me Wife...”

Although Xiao Wen’s face was flushed, her eyes were exceptionally bright, filled with a gentle, water-like tenderness.

”Wife, it is time to drink the nuptial wine!”

Chuanwen chuckled, then picked up two cups of clear wine and handed one to Xiao Wen.

Xiao Wen held the wine cup, quietly watching Chuanwen, and spoke in a soft tone:

”Husband, now that I have married into the Chen Family, can you tell me what your plans are for Zhao Zhiyi, and how you have deployed your forces?”

As the words fell, the smile on Chen Chuanwen’s face vanished, and the alluring atmosphere disappeared along with it.

Chen Chuanwen remained silent for a long time, while Xiao Wen stared fixedly into his eyes.

”It is not yet time...”

Finally, Chen Chuanwen uttered a sentence, but this was not what Xiao Wen had hoped for; her eyes, as bright as spring water, instantly dimmed.

She knew that the man before her loved his Family more than he loved her...

”Very well, I wish you success, Husband, may you lead the Chen Family to rise step by step, with long-lasting good fortune!”

Xiao Wen forced a smile. Chen Chuanwen’s gaze remained as cold as solid ice, and he raised his wine cup to gently clink it against hers.

”I also hope that you, Wife, can avenge your great grievance and reunite with your kin!”

At this moment, the feelings between the two were complex; there was both the mutual affection of husband and wife, and their respective interests. Perhaps their marriage was more of a union of interests between two families rather than personal affection.

The two looked deeply at each other, both understanding the other’s intentions, and together they raised their cups and drank the nuptial wine.

...

The candlelight went out, moonlight shone onto the windowsill, and red curtains tossed up waves of clouds!

The night passed quietly!

Early in the morning, because Chen Changsheng had returned to his familiar bed last night, he slept exceptionally soundly and woke up extra early this morning!

He had just opened his bedroom door, wanting to breathe in the fresh mountain air, when he saw Zhao Song hesitating at his door.

Zhao Song’s brows were tightly knit, as if he were hiding something in his heart, and he was so distracted that he did not even notice Chen Changsheng coming out.

”Zhao Song, what are you doing blocking my door so early in the morning?”

Chen Changsheng was quite puzzled, so he walked up to Zhao Song and asked.

”Ah, Godfather, I...”

Zhao Song was startled by Chen Changsheng’s sudden appearance, and then he wanted to say something, but showed a conflicted expression instead.

”If you have something to say, just say it. You did not use to be like this, dawdling like a woman. Is there anything between us that cannot be said!”

Seeing Zhao Song’s conflicted appearance, Chen Changsheng knew he must have something on his mind, so he spoke to comfort him.

Looking at the trust Chen Changsheng showed him, Zhao Song finally made a decision. He took a Secret Manual from his bosom, handed it to Chen Changsheng, and said:

”Godfather, actually, I am the only surviving clansman of the Golden Blade Hero. Because I was wary of the Gu God Cult, I hid my identity and did not tell you!”

”Yesterday, I heard that you wanted to establish the Black Ice Platform, a major undertaking. After thinking for a long time, I decided to tell you my identity and offer up my Family’s Golden Blade Crescent Blade Technique!”

”This blade technique is an Innate Blade Technique. My Family head used it to roam the Annan Prefecture and earn the reputation of the Golden Blade Hero. Now I offer it to you, hoping it can become the martial foundation for the Black Ice Platform to kill and defend!”

Chen Changsheng was truly shocked to hear Zhao Song say this. Zhao Song had usually hidden it too well; he really had not discovered that he was a clansman of the Golden Blade Hero, thinking he was just an ordinary person who did not know martial arts!

If he had known his identity earlier, Chen Changsheng would definitely have considered whether to take Zhao Song in, and perhaps would have refused directly!

After all, the Gu God Cult wanted to wipe out all the clansmen of the Golden Blade Hero; taking him in would certainly offend the Gu God Cult!

But now, Chen Changsheng had been in contact with Zhao Song for a long time, and he greatly admired this youth. He even wanted him to manage the Black Ice Platform.

Besides, Zhao Song had been able to hide it from him, who was in contact with him day and night, and hide it from the Gu God Cult.

Moreover, Zhao Song was so loyal, not only confessing his identity but also offering such a powerful blade technique; Chen Changsheng would absolutely not betray him.

An Innate Blade Technique—this was almost the most powerful martial arts Secret Manual besides an Immortal Cultivation Manual!

The Chen Family needed it to enrich the Family’s foundation, and the Black Ice Platform also needed it to improve its killing techniques!

”Haha, Zhao Song, you really are a loyal child. Don’t worry, I will not tell anyone about your identity, and you must cover it up well yourself!”

”The Innate Blade Technique is indeed a Sharp Weapon for killing. I will accept it for now. In the future, you will be responsible for selecting people for the Black Ice Platform to teach this martial art!”

”Besides that, I also want you to serve as the person in charge of the Black Ice Platform. My Chen Family will support you from behind the scenes. As for how it develops, it all depends on your ability!”

”If one day your Black Ice Platform can make the entire Annan Prefecture tremble, then destroying the Gu God Cult and avenging your Family will just be a matter of convenience!”

As Chen Changsheng finished speaking, he saw a glimmer of light flash in Zhao Song’s eyes. Zhao Song had not expected that Chen Changsheng would not only not dislike his identity but also be willing to help him take revenge, and even entrust him with the important task of building a force.

”Thank you, Godfather! I will definitely make the Black Ice Platform strong as soon as possible!”

Zhao Song cupped his hands and said with a firm tone. At this moment, establishing the Black Ice Platform for the Chen Family and avenging his Family’s hatred had become his goal and his obsession!

”Alright, go get busy. I am going to find Uncle Mantou!”

Chen Changsheng waved his hand to signal Zhao Song to withdraw, then took the Secret Manual to find Mantou.

He already had an arrangement in his mind; the best use for this manual was for Mantou to use!

Mantou was already at Blood Refining Peak; once he had an Innate martial art, he would have hope for a Breakthrough to Innate!

Once Mantou broke through to Innate, the Chen Family would have an absolute powerhouse to show off, and the Black Ice Platform would develop faster under his protection!

Just as Chen Changsheng was looking for Mantou, Chuanwen suddenly ran over from the courtyard!

Chen Changsheng had originally wanted to tease him a bit; after all, newly married men are usually desperate to be clingy with their wives all day, yet he had gotten up so early.

But seeing the gloomy expression on Chuanwen’s face, Chen Changsheng knew he must have important business. Sure enough, as expected, Chuanwen brought an unexpected piece of news.

”Father, the people I arranged at the foot of the mountain sent a message up. A group of people has arrived at the foot of the mountain, and their carriage is flying the ’Zhao’ banner.”

”The Zhao of Zhao Zhiyi...”

Chen Changsheng could not help but narrow his eyes. Since they rescued Xiao Wen, their series of actions against the Zhao Family had been carried out in secret!

Now that the Zhao Family was visiting suddenly, had the news leaked, or was it for some other reason? They had no connection with Zhao Zhiyi!

Chen Changsheng was suspicious, but he knew he must not lose his composure.

”Let Zhao Song and Xiao Wen hide first. You go find Mantou and come with me to receive the guests!”

”Whether it is a malicious guest or for some other reason, we must see it through to the end!”

Chen Changsheng said with narrowed eyes. Since it concerned Zhao Zhiyi, he had to be cautious. After all, the other party was an Xiantian Martial Artist, a top figure in the Jianghu, and also an imperial official. He was truly the strongest enemy the Chen Family had encountered since its development!

This was not something a local rich man like Liu Jinshan could compare to!
