Chapter 407: Chapter 194: Challenging Patriarch Chen? I Really Need to Believe in Science Now! (2)
The key point is that the other person is surprisingly a love-obsessed fool who believes this nonsense, working as a delivery rider to support the girl’s schooling.
Even though TV shows and movies have depicted this countless times, such men don’t end well.
Yet reality is more magical than movies.
After the woman graduated from university, she wanted to pursue a graduate degree, promising to marry him once she graduated.
The man firmly believed in this and worked diligently as a delivery man. Sure enough, once the woman succeeded in her graduate exams, she said she wanted to study abroad, promising that they would marry once she returned.
Honestly, Ming Di couldn’t believe there were such foolish men, but he still believed her, sending all his earnings to his girlfriend studying abroad.
When the girlfriend returned from abroad, she was already accompanied by a handsome guy wearing glasses, holding a child in her arms—she had gotten together with someone else during her graduate studies, planning to study abroad together.
The man was stunned and went up to argue. The woman left him with one crushing sentence: "You’re just a lousy delivery man; I studied abroad and became an elite professional. Do you think we’re in the same world?"
Now, the man is fighting a lawsuit against the woman.
Ming Di sighed.
Just feeling that such pathetic men really shame all men.
It’s because there are so many of these pathetic men that those little fairies believe their value is rising.
However, the Chen Family might be able to save these kinds of people.
As long as they believe in the Chen Family’s words.
Just as he was thinking this, he saw someone from the Chen Family moving things out from inside.
This made him curious, so he followed to take a look.
Some tourists were also curious and followed along, only to discover that the Chen Family was setting up something in the area where Youqiong Flower Trees were planted.
He now also reads some Taoist Sect books, mainly to keep up with Patriarch Chen’s activities, so he could see that something ceremonial was being prepared.
The phone rang; seeing it was his cousin calling, he immediately picked up: "Cousin, have you arrived? Okay, get off at the parking lot, I’ll come to pick you up."
After hanging up, he hurriedly went to the parking lot to pick someone up. His cousin was a retired special forces soldier; he hired him as a bodyguard, and his arrival gave him a sense of security.
At the parking lot, he saw his cousin waiting with a bag and immediately went over, happily giving him a hug as they met.
Chu Ping and Chen Kai got off and saw the two, immediately recognizing Ming Di as the internet celebrity, who had contributed to Linhe County.
Watching them leave with smiles all over their faces, they entered Chen’s Residence, heading to Patriarch Chen’s courtyard.
In the courtyard, the Patriarch Chen had already donned a very formal Daoist Robe and held a special Wooden Sword, clearly preparing for a ceremony.
"Patriarch Chen." The two greeted in unison.
"Two leaders, I’m about to head over to the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall, so I can’t entertain you," Chen Han smiled apologetically when he saw them.
Chu Ping and Chen Kai didn’t mind at all; their current concern was the matter of erecting the Stone Stele.
However, it was when Chen Han left for the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall that Chu Ping reflected, "Are we perhaps overthinking this, waiting so eagerly for that stone stele?"
Chen Kai naturally couldn’t answer this and simply said, "Chu County, like we said before, erect a stele on which it says Hundred Flowers Palace gifted it to the Chen Family—it could serve as a gimmick somehow."
"And who says there’s no effect? Given Chen Family’s pleasant environment, those peach blossoms, especially when the Jade Flower Trees bloom next year, who knows if it’s related to the Stone Stele, we can always make something up."
"If the Jade Flower Trees bloom well, we can also claim it’s because of this stele, adding a legend."
Chu Ping laughed on the spot, "That’s true, if the Jade Flower Trees bloom well, it’s because of the Stone Stele. Patriarch Chen should thank us for helping craft a good story for him."
Chen Han didn’t hear their words, having already arrived at the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall.
The Stone Stele had already been placed within the hall; Aunt had led people to complete the prayer blessings part for the stele.
Chen Dagou also led the Demon Suppression Hall members to make preparations for lifting and carrying the stone to the site for its erection.
After Aunt completed the prayer blessings, Chen Han instructed Chen Dagou to carry the stone stele and follow him to the site where Jade Flower Trees were planted.
That 2-meter high, 1-meter wide Stone Stele, engraved with Ancient Rune patterns, already attracted tourists’ attention as Chen Han led people to the site—it had drawn quite a crowd.
Having settled his cousin, Ming Di showed him around, and they also witnessed the scene, following the throng.
"Cousin, can I go there?" Xu Bin asked with a frown, "I’ve been in the military, killed people!"
Before coming, he’d researched the Chen Family’s background, given his cousin’s proposal to join, he had to understand what he was getting into.
Overall, his cousin was now somewhat of a renowned internet celebrity, joining him had its merits, especially since he’d retired without knowing what to do.
"They were bad people, Cousin, you were fulfilling your duty, it’s definitely no problem." Ming Di was unconcerned; he’d observed for quite a while, knowing the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable only punished wrongdoers.
Cousin was protecting the nation, not part of the wrongdoer category.
Xu Bin had no choice but to follow; once inside Chen’s Parking Lot, no incidents occurred, allowing him to relax slightly before joining some tourists heading to the Jade Flower Forest.
