Chapter 240 Snow Swordsman
Canglan County!
Lin Mansion!
It has similar rules and layout to the Lin Mansion in Shangyang City.
This was the residence that Lin Ye had asked Xu Bo to buy in the county town a few years ago. It took a year to rebuild it. After all, he was a nostalgic person and was used to the mansion in Shangyang City.
This time Lin Ye did not ask Xu Bo to come along. After six years, Xu Bo was already seventy-six years old, which was considered old in the other world.
Although Xu Bo always wanted to come along, Lin Ye still refused.
Uncle Xu now has two grandsons and one granddaughter. It is time for him to enjoy his retirement and be surrounded by his children and grandchildren, so Xu Uncle was allowed to stay in Shangyang City.
Uncle Xu's son is the head of his business and is often away from home. Lin Ye has already made up his mind to transfer Uncle Xu's son back after the Chinese New Year.
The reason is simple: Xu Bo's complexion is getting worse every year.
"Young Master!"
When Lin Ye's carriage stopped in front of the mansion, a middle-aged man also hurried over.
Chen Jinyang, the chief manager of Kelaiju.
In Canglan County, many dignitaries knew Chen Jinyang. After all, Kelaiju was the best restaurant in Canglan County and the favorite place for dignitaries. Because Kelaiju's business was booming, many people who wanted a good seat to entertain relatives and friends would greet Chen Jinyang in advance. Therefore, Chen Jinyang was considered a well-known figure in Canglan County.
But even such a prominent figure in Canglan County was standing respectfully on the side of the carriage, waiting for Lin Ye to get off.
Lin Ye got out of the car. Chen Jinyang looked at his son, who had not changed at all from a few years ago, and was amazed. His son was indeed extraordinary, and time had not left any trace on him.
"Old Chen, you've done a good job over the years. Thank you for your hard work."
Although Chen Jinyang is the owner of Kelaiju and also the person in charge of Kelaiju in the entire Nanjiangzhou, he does not have many opportunities to meet Lin Ye.
Lin Ye doesn't really manage the businesses under his control, but leaves them to the various persons in charge. However, letting go does not mean there is no supervision. Lin Ye specially sought out a financial expert from the real world and got him an ancient version of the account sheet, and all he had to do was to reconcile the accounts.
With this account sheet and income, you can see at a glance how the business is going.
"It's not hard. If it weren't for you, I, Old Chen, would have committed suicide by now."
In Chen Jinyang's heart, he was still very grateful to his young master. He had done business with someone at the beginning, but was cheated by his partner. Not only was his money taken away, but he also owed a lot of debts. During that time, the debt collectors came to his house and forced him to almost commit suicide. It was then that he met the young master.
The young master paid off his debts and let him manage Ke Lai Ju, which led to his current situation.
To be honest, Chen Jinyang never thought it was his own credit that Kelaiju had become so big, because the business direction and philosophy of Kelaiju had already been determined by his master. If someone else had been the shopkeeper, he would have been able to run Kelaiju so well.
The young master can live without me, but I cannot live without the young master.
"Let's go to the mansion first and talk about it later."
"Okay, please, sir."
Chen Jinyang walked quickly to the front of the mansion, opened the side door, and the carriage slowly drove in.
"Sir, you like quietness, so I only arranged for servants to come and clean every day. This time you are going to stay here, I need to make some arrangements..."
"Just arrange a cook and someone to clean up."
Although he has been in the other world for many years, Lin Ye is still not used to the life of a landlord with a horde of servants. He still prefers a leisurely and quiet life.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Chen Jinyang was not surprised, because in the young master's mansion in Shangyang City, there were only Butler Xu and Madam Ge serving him. Although he had seen the young master seldom, he had dealt with Butler Xu many times. This time when the young master was coming to Canglan County, Butler Xu also wrote him a letter, informing him of some of the young master's habits.
"Go back to your old place!"
When Chen Jinyang went to arrange the servants, Lin Ye said something in the direction of the carriage, and Tai Sui jumped out of the carriage, like a bouncing ball, and ran to his favorite rockery in the Shangyang City mansion and lay down.
Seeing Tai Sui's movements, Lin Ye would sometimes be curious: how could this fellow, whose whole body was as soft as meat paste, walk in a hopping manner?
…
…
Noon, lunch time!
Zhang Wuji came to the door.
"Brother Lin, you really are nostalgic. This mansion is exactly the same as the one in Shangyang City. I almost thought I was in the wrong place."
"Brother Zhang, this is considered a new house, right? Why do you come empty-handed for the first time?"
Seeing Zhang Wuji coming on time, Lin Ye was a little speechless, but Zhang Wuji didn't care at all. He smiled and said, "With our relationship, there's no need to do such clichés. After lunch, I'll introduce you to a friend."
Lin Ye: ...
He now seriously suspected that Zhang Wuji had worked so hard to get him to come to Canglan County just for the convenience of having a free meal.
After lunch, Zhang Wuji did not lie and took Lin Ye to the south of the city!
Shenyun Gate is located in the south of the city.
There are three city walls in the entire Canglan County, but there is none in the south of the city.
"Do you know why there is no city wall in the south? Because our Shen Yun Sect is located here. From here to dozens of miles outside the city, it is all within the scope of our Shen Yun Sect. Today I will take you to see a guest elder of our Shen Yun Sect. He will also go to the Shen Ji Gate with us."
"I haven't entered the Shenyun Gate yet..."
Lin Ye was halfway through his words when Zhang Wuji threw a token over to him. Lin Ye caught it and took a closer look. The front of the token was engraved with the words "Guest Elder" and the back was written with "One Hundred and Sixty-Three."
"This is the identity token of our Divine Grade Sect's guest elder. From now on, you are our Divine Grade Sect's guest elder. How about it? I am efficient, right?"
Zhang Wuji looked at Lin Ye with an expression as if to seek credit, but Lin Ye's mouth twitched. From the number 163, he could tell that the guest elders of Shen Yun Sect were not worth much.
The Shen Yun Sect has only been around for a few years, but there are already nearly two hundred guest elders, which means an average of almost one per year.
A quarter of an hour later, after passing through many fertile fields, Zhang Wuji brought Lin Ye to a bamboo forest. But as soon as they arrived at the bamboo forest, Zhang Wuji's expression changed, and he quickly went towards the bamboo forest. Lin Ye's expression also changed slightly, and he followed closely behind Zhang Wuji.
In the bamboo forest.
A man in white had his right arm hanging down, with blood dripping down his arm onto the ground . Behind the man stood several old men with indignant expressions.
In front of the man, a man in black and white clothes was holding a sword, standing there proudly. Behind him stood three young men and women in black clothes. The expressions of these three people were relaxed, with a playful look as if they were watching a show.
"This is the so-called Snow Swordsman. It seems that he has earned his reputation in vain." The man in black and white clothes sneered, "You are not qualified to enter the God-level Gate."
Lin Ye, who was following closely behind Zhang Wuji, saw this scene and looked at Zhang Wuji. Zhang Wuji lowered his voice and said, "These people in black and white are all disciples of the God-level Sect. Every year, the God-level Sect sends disciples to come here for exchanges."
"comminicate?"
Lin Ye thought that this situation didn't seem like communication.
"Jing Yu, also known as the Snow Swordsman, is from Zhoucheng. He became famous at a young age. At the beginning, an elder from the God-level Sect wanted to take him as a disciple, but Jing Yu refused, which made the elder lose face. These people are the disciples of that elder."
Lin Ye understood: "It means that Jing Yu gave up the opportunity to become a god-level disciple, and now his strength is not as good as these people."
"Bullshit, Jing Yu's strength is above these people. I don't know why Jing Yu held back. Do you know the origin of his title of Snow Swordsman? One sword can move the sky and make snow fall for ten miles."
