"Senior brother, don't be so surprised." Xiaoyu said with a slight smirk, smiling brightly.
Sister Xiaomi has a great influence in the National Style category, and many people regard her as the number one goddess of National Style. Inviting her to the Chen Clan to play, it's no wonder senior brother was surprised.
"How did you get her to come?" Chen Han instinctively asked, never expecting to hear news about her so suddenly.
Xiaoyu explained, "Sister Xiaomi is very nice and gets along well with everyone at the National Style Festival. She also takes good care of me, so when I found out she was feeling down after being dumped by a jerk, I comforted her, showed her a video of our Chen Clan Ancient Building Complex, and invited her to come relax."
"Junior sister, I suddenly have something to take care of." Chen Han felt his heart was a bit chaotic, and he hurriedly entered the pavilion, returning to his room.
Seeing this, Xiaoyu also left her senior brother's yard.
She had many tasks today. Not only did she have to send out the Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea ordered from the Tiao Yin window, but she also had to deliver the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea that Mr. Lin and the others ordered.
Additionally, six online ticket-booking visitors would be arriving throughout the day, all needing to be hosted.
She also needed to shoot a promotional video for the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea. Her senior brother had developed such a good thing, it had to be promoted.
Chen Han returned to his room. As memories flooded his mind, his heart grew more chaotic, and he hurriedly sat down, murmuring, "If the heart is clear as ice, the sky won't frighten; with all changes, stay centered, your spirit calm and serene, unstained by dust..."
This is the Taoist Sect's "Ice Heart Technique"!
However, after reciting the "Ice Heart Technique" once, his heart was still unsettled. The "Ice Heart Technique" was absolutely useless.
In the end, he calmed himself down with the self-consolation, "I left quietly because I had cancer and didn't want to burden her future, so I blocked her."
So, for emotions, self-adjustment is key.
Just as this thought surfaced, the game's task center popped up a task prompt:
[Task "Shocking Bad News": From your junior sister, you learn that a Fairy from the Hundred Flowers Palace with whom you have a grudge is about to visit the family seeking vengeance. She desires nothing more than to eliminate you. This feud could lead to a clash between the Chen Family and the Hundred Flowers Palace. As Patriarch of the Chen Family, you cannot let your family members sacrifice in vain; please resolve the grievance with this Fairy from the Hundred Flowers Palace!]
"Damn???" Chen Han cursed directly.
The system's issue has flared up again; what the hell, a Hundred Flowers Palace Fairy, it's forcing him to face it head-on, right?
Ultimately, Chen Han sighed and could only go with the flow.
This task definitely needed to be completed; otherwise, how would he earn the rewards?
Besides, before, he didn't want to burden her because of the illness, but now with the Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method, the illness could be cured.
A moment later, he went to his little uncle's courtyard and began preparing today's medicinal meal.
Although there's hope to cure lung cancer with the Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method, the 12-hour lifespan increase from the Dog Demon Meat medicinal meal couldn't be given up.
Moreover, this medicinal meal also had attributes of strengthening the body by +2 and boosting immunity by +2; consuming it more would surely have great benefits.
However, the medicinal materials in Little Uncle's cabinet were running out and needed to be replenished when there's time.
After handling the Dog Demon Meat, it was placed into a stew pot with the medicinal materials and set to simmer.
During the process of making the medicinal meal, he received a 5-point reputation prompt.
He opened the Tiao Yin account of the Chen Patriarch, which had over 400 followers.
The likes on the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea video were already at 14,000, and growth was slowing down. The data would likely soon stop, and not much more reputation would be gained.
Upgrading the sect's base required 2000 reputation points.
It seemed the Spirit Shadow Treasure Mirror's transmission and imagery must continue; it's currently his biggest channel for gaining reputation.
But he needed to consider what kind of cultivation content to shoot next.
Of course, displaying divine prowess in front of others must also continue.
So, he also left his little uncle's courtyard to look for Mr. Lin and the other tourists.
When he arrived at the Martial Arts Arena, he saw Mr. Lin and his group already carrying their luggage, holding the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, preparing to leave.
Fortunately, he almost missed them.
When Lin Nan saw him, he quickly greeted him, "Patriarch Chen, sorry for the disturbance over the past two days."
"Mr. Lin, you're too kind." Chen Han replied with a smile and took the opportunity to look at the three kids. "Kids, big brother will give each of you an apple."
As he spoke, he took out three apples from his storage, handing them to the three children.
Lin Nan and his group were truly amazed. Patriarch Chen's sleight of hand was flawless no matter how many times they saw it.
Naturally, six notifications appeared in Chen Han's mind: [Congratulations, by displaying divine prowess in front of others, you've gained 1 point of reputation!], increasing his reputation by 6 points.
Not long afterward, Chen Han's mind received seven more notifications: [Congratulations, the Chen Family's remarkable sight captured people, reputation +1!], gaining another 7 points of reputation.
This indicated that the other tourists were by the three old elm trees, so he headed over there, intending to accumulate more reputation points by displaying divine prowess.
At this moment,
Sun Xin and Liu Yuanyuan's group were filled with amazement. They had arrived yesterday, toured the ancient building complex in the afternoon with the Chen clan, and this morning had been brought to these three old elm trees.
Yesterday, they had witnessed the ancient architecture's antiquity and beauty, as well as the magical Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea of the Chen Family. They hadn't expected to see these three miraculous old elm trees today.
The kind of wondrous feeling they had, even if one said the old elm trees lacked spiritual nature, they wouldn't believe it.
Besides such an explanation, they couldn't think of any reason that could give them this mystical feeling within the vicinity of the three old elm trees, which disappeared once they stepped outside.
