It's not about letting this unborn child take risks for the sake of his own plans.

Although it was a bit far-fetched to say this, he really thought so in his heart. There might be a chance to get rid of Xie Yu in the future, but Zhou Chen might only have this one child.

Zhou Chen said flatly: "Stop talking, Xiao Shu, it's not just your business now, we have too many people's hopes on our shoulders, we can't give up halfway, and Gong Yu is not as weak as you think, she

He is very smart and knows how to protect himself, not to mention that I am still here, and the mere Ning Guohou Mansion can't stop our brothers."

"But..." Lan

"Stop it, it's settled."

Mei Changsu couldn't defeat Zhou Chen, and in the end he could only sigh heavily, but he made a decision in his heart that no matter what happened, Gong Yu's safety must be his top priority.

Although this is Zhou Chen's child and has nothing to do with him, he feels that the appearance of this child is like a gift from God and a miracle, so he must protect this miraculous child.

After a long time, Mei Changsu calmed down and then happily congratulated Zhou Chen.

"Xiao Chen, congratulations on becoming a father. I just remembered to congratulate you now."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It's worthy of congratulations. Considering the friendship we have had for so many years, when my child is born, I will ask him to recognize you as his adoptive father."

"Accept me as your adoptive father?" Lan

Mei Changsu was stunned, never expecting that Zhou Chen would say such a thing.

Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows: "What? Aren't you happy that my child will be your adopted son?"

Mei Changsu smiled and said: "How is that possible? I just think that with the way I am now, I may be gone before I see my child grow up."

Zhou Chen dissatisfied and lectured: "Don't say such things. You can't die as long as I'm here. Just wait for my child to call you foster father."

"Foster father?"

Mei Changsu's eyes were full of hope. Although he was not his own child, it would be pretty good if Zhou Chen's child could be called his adoptive father.

Thinking of a soft little fur baby, hugging his legs and calling loudly for his adoptive father, he couldn't help but smile.

Youshi!

Meng Zhi and Xia Dong arrived at the Ningguohou Mansion almost at the same time. Both of them held high positions in the court, so Xie Yu, the owner of the Ningguo Hou Mansion, came out to greet them in person, and also brought his in-law Zhuo Dingfeng with him.

The few people hadn't entered yet and were talking when they heard the person in charge of greeting them outside shout loudly: "Mr. Su Zhesu has arrived, Mr. Chen Yu and Mr. Chen have arrived."

Immediately, Xie Yu and others' eyes couldn't help but turn towards the door, and Xiao Jingrui personally stepped forward to greet them.

Zhou Chen took Gong Yu and Mei Changsu into the Ningguo Hou Mansion.

As soon as Xie Yu saw Mei Changsu, his eyes suddenly turned gloomy. Mei Changsu was the person he had always wanted to get rid of quickly, but several assassination attempts failed and he had to give up in the end.

He clearly wanted to kill Mei Changsu, but when people came to celebrate his 'son' Xiao Jingrui's birthday, he could only greet them with a smile.

A few people chatted for a while in the courtyard, and then walked into the main hall of the middle courtyard of the Hou Mansion.

At this time, the sky had turned dark, and the time was approaching Xu. Xie Yu went to the backyard to take Princess Yang, while Zhou Chen and others were received in the main hall by Xie Bi, the prince of Ningguo, and prepared to sit down.

Meng Zhi and Xia Dong both looked at Mei Changsu from time to time, especially Xia Dong, who nodded to Mei Changsu without leaving a trace, indicating that she had made arrangements.

Several people were making eye contact when they suddenly heard a scream from behind the screen. Xiao Jingrui, who was talking to Zhou Chen, hurried over.

As a result, it turned out that the one who screamed was Yan Yujin, which made him angry.

"Yujin, what's your name here?"

Yan Yujin didn't pay attention to Xiao Jingrui's complaints, but looked at the gleaming sword in his hand in surprise.

"Jing Rui, look quickly, this is a gift from Brother Yu."

Only then did Xiao Jingrui realize that Yan Yujin was making such a fuss because of the gift from Zhou Chen. He looked at the sharp sword in Yan Yujin's hand.

He was shocked when he saw it. He was a master of swordsmanship. He could still tell whether a sword was good or bad.

He could tell at a glance that the sword in Yan Yujin's hand was very extraordinary, and the cold light was far from what ordinary swords could possess.

"Is this sword really a gift from Brother Yu?"

Yan Yujin rolled his eyes: "Of course, I found it in Brother Yu's gift box. If you look carefully, there are words on the hilt."

With that said, he handed the sword to Xiao Jingrui.

Xiao Jingrui took the sword, looked at the hilt, and muttered: "Feihong."

Immediately afterwards, he also exclaimed: "Feihong Sword?" Then with a shocked expression on his face, he quickly walked to Zhou Chen and the others in front of the screen.

"Brother Yu."

Zhou Chen was talking quietly to Gong Yu when he heard Xiao Jingrui's voice and turned to look: "What's the matter, Jingrui?"

Xiao Jingrui raised the sword in his hand and asked, "Brother Yu, is this sword the Feihong Sword?"

"Yes, it's the Feihong Sword."

Xiao Jingrui said hurriedly: "Brother Yu, this sword is too precious. How can you give it to me as a gift? No, take it back quickly. I can't afford it." Lan

Hearing Xiao Jingrui's words, Meng Zhi's expression changed and he asked in surprise: "Feihong Sword? Is it the Feihong Sword, the sword of Senior Situ who was ranked first in the Langya master list more than thirty years ago?"

Xia Dong was also surprised when he heard this: "Is it really the Feihong Sword? I have also heard of the name of Senior Situ. He has occupied the position of the number one master for several years. He is most famous for his swordsmanship, and the Feihong Sword is his exclusive weapon.

Why does the sword appear here?"

Zhou Chen explained with a smile: "I got this sword by chance. Jingrui, I think this sword is very suitable for you. Don't refuse, just accept it."

Xiao Jingrui's attitude was very firm: "No, this sword is too precious. I am not worthy of it. It will be buried in my hands. Brother Yu, you are very skilled in martial arts, so you are its best master."

Zhou Chen shook his head and said: "Jing Rui, what you said is wrong. Although I have some martial arts, I am not a pure swordsman. But you are different. You have been using swords since you were a child and you are pure-hearted. You are a pure swordsman. This one

As long as the sword is in your hand, you will not bury it."

"But."

This is a famous sword. If it is placed in the arena, it will definitely cause countless people to fight for it. If you say you don't like it, it would be a lie, but Xiao Jingrui still doesn't want to take advantage of it.

Zhou Chen: "Don't say goodbye. You are the birthday boy this year. This is a gift from me. There is no reason to give it back. If you don't accept it, I won't have the shame to keep it anymore. I can only

left."

"How can that be done?"

Xiao Jingrui was startled and quickly stopped him. He sincerely regarded Zhou Chen as a close friend, so how could he let Zhou Chen leave.

Mei Changsu advised from the side: "Jing Rui, what Brother Yu said makes sense. The sword is given to heroes. Since he is willing to give it to you, he naturally believes in you and treats you as a good friend. Good friends should not refuse.

, just accept it."

"Yes, Jingrui, this is Brother Yu's intention. If you feel sorry for it, the worst thing you can do is give Brother Yu something good on his birthday next time."

Yan Yujin also advised.

Under everyone's persuasion, Xiao Jingrui could only nod: "Brother Yu, I really don't know how to thank you." Lan

Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Then I will eat more and drink more later, but you can't dislike it."

This statement made everyone laugh, and Xiao Jingrui also smiled bitterly.

"Brother Yu is joking."

Yan Yujin suddenly rolled his eyes: "Jing Rui, can you lend me this sword for a few days?"

"You think beautifully."

Xiao Jingrui refused without hesitation, then sheathed the sword and asked Xie Bi to put it away with great treasure.

This is the best gift he received today. Just because of Brother Yu's feelings, he cannot let this Feihong Sword be buried. He must work harder to practice swordsmanship in the future, not to be like before the Feihong Sword.

Master, if he is on the list of Langya masters like that, he will definitely not lose the reputation of Feihong Sword.

"Cheapskate."

Yan Yujin snorted in dissatisfaction, then showed the small gourd in his hand and asked Mei Changsu, "Brother Su, what is this? It smells like elixir."

Mei Changsu explained: "I was in a hurry when I went out, so I packed ten heart-protecting pills."

"Heart-protecting pill?"

Before anyone else could respond, Meng Zhi took the lead and asked: "Mr. Su, the gift you gave is a heart-protecting pill? Isn't it too heavy a gift to give so many ten pills?"

When Xiao Jingrui heard that it was very valuable, he quickly declined again, but Yan Yujin snatched it back.

"Is this very expensive? No, no, Brother Su, you are too partial. It would be a waste to give such an expensive thing to Jingrui. You have never given it to me." Lan

This made everyone roll their eyes, and Xia Dong even joked: "Yujin, what are you making a fuss about? Your birthday in July and a half hasn't arrived yet?"

Yan Yujin was very familiar with it and shouted dissatisfied: "What's July and a half? It's Chinese Valentine's Day, Chinese Valentine's Day, Sister Dong."

Xia Dong: "July half is just a few days away from Chinese Valentine's Day."

"It's quite a difference, okay?"

After a fuss, Xiao Jingrui snatched the heart-protecting pill back.

"Brother Su, such an expensive gift is really costing you money."

Mei Changsu smiled and said: "Compared to Brother Yu's Feihong Sword, these ten heart-protecting pills of mine are far behind. Just don't dislike it." Lan

"Brother Su, what are you talking about? It's too late for me to be happy." Xiao Jingrui said.
