As the picture disappeared, the subtle spiritual energy in the scroll disappeared, but when Ye Chen looked at the painting again, he couldn't help but think of Meng Changsheng's picture in his mind, and he felt that Meng Changsheng in this painting seemed to be more vivid and vivid, and appeared on the paper.

He couldn't help but guess in his heart what tone was Meng Changsheng's life after leaving that mountain village.

Although his life span has been extended, there seems to be no important person in his life. His wife and children have long passed away, and his only disciple has been buried, leaving him as a middle-aged man.

With his obsessed cultivation and desperate pursuit of immortality, perhaps after he left the mountain village, he would still choose to return to his cave somewhere and continue to practice silently alone. From then on, he only knew the sunrise and the sunset, but he did not know what year and month the outside world was, and which dynasty and which generation it was.

When life is left with day after day of practice, all his joys, anger, sorrow, and happiness can only be left to himself, and no one can find to share or share.

In Ye Chen's opinion, that feeling is not about seeking immortality, but about loneliness.

He felt that once a person gives up his emotions and desires and falls into that endless loneliness, no matter how long his life is, he will lose its true meaning.

Ye Chen couldn't help but wonder, if the people around him gradually grow old as time goes by, what should he do?

Although the rejuvenation pill is good, the older you get, the worse the effect. With the rejuvenation pill, there is no problem for ordinary people to live to over 100 years old. The ceiling of living to two hundred years old may require a large amount of rejuvenation pill to support it.

Even if they are willing to provide them with sufficient rejuvenation pills, are they still willing to continue to use rejuvenation pills to prolong their lives at that age?

It is not rare for a person to live to a hundred years old, but he will never grow old even if he lives to a hundred years old.

If you constantly provide the rejuvenation pill to those close to you so that they can live and not grow old, then at a critical time, they must stay away from all those who know them but do not know their background, otherwise it will definitely arouse doubts from countless people.

This means that everyone has to find a hidden place to hide from the world at a certain period of time. At that time, they will try every means to avoid the attention of normal people like werewolf or vampire in the Western Mary Sue novel.

Ye Chen didn't even have to ask the people around him, and he was the first to refuse to accept this kind of life.

As soon as he thought of this, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

Although I don’t need to worry about this in the next twenty or thirty years, this is a big trouble that cannot be avoided as long as I live.

Ye Chen sighed lightly, put away the scroll, and never sleeps all the way.

...

Since Shu capital is not far from Jinling, the plane arrived at Jinling Airport after more than two hours of flight.

And the sky was not even brighter at this time.

Ye Chen and Chen Zekai got off the plane, and Chen Zekai's men were already waiting here.

Chen Zekai asked Ye Chen respectfully: "Young Master, there is still an hour before dawn. Do you want to rest at Buckingham Palace for a while?"

Ye Chen thought for a while and waved his hand, "Arrang a car for me, I'll go to the hot spring villa in Champs Elysees by myself, I'll go there for a rest, and then go home at noon."

Ye Chen did not want to bring Meng Changsheng's portrait home. First, it was difficult to explain it to his family. Second, he was afraid that his father-in-law, who was the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, would see it and pretend to be a big-tailed wolf with others. Third, he was also afraid that his mother-in-law Ma Lan would be short of money one day and would get angry and secretly take out the painting and sell it.

So, he planned to put the painting in the Champsey-Elysian Hot Spring Villa before dawn.

Although the family members of the family also knew about that villa, since the upgraded door locks are all face and fingerprint recognition, only he can open them. So he doesn't have to worry about being known to his family.

When Chen Zekai heard that he was going to the Champsey Hot Spring Villa, he hurriedly said, "Then I'll send you there!"

Ye Chen shook his head and said, "No need to worry, you have to work hard all day long. Go back and rest first, I'll just go there myself."

Seeing Ye Chen insisting, Chen Zekai nodded immediately and asked his subordinates to give Ye Chen the keys of one of the Rolls-Royces. He said respectfully: "Young Master, if you need anything, please contact me at any time."

"Okay." Ye Chen took the car keys and said to him: "Then I'll go there first."

After parting with Chen Zekai, Ye Chen drove to the Champsey Hot Spring Villa alone. After arriving at the villa, he put the painting into the safe on the basement floor of the villa.

After doing this, Ye Chen came to the villa's indoor hot spring bathing pool. Since the Champs Elysees Hot Spring Villa has its own unique hot springs and has been bought out at one time for decades, the geothermal hot spring water is affected by geology and continues to gush out 24 hours a day. So when the community was designed, it designed the hot springs to enter the house into living water that flows continuously for 24 hours to ensure that the owners have a pool of clean hot spring water at any time. This is also one of the biggest selling points of the community.

Ye Chen didn't plan to go home too early. It was strange to go back early in the morning. His wife Xiao Churan must have felt that it was very hard to stay up late and go back, so he might as well take a break here and wait for noon or afternoon.

So he took off his clothes slowly and soaked in the hot spring pool.

Although Ye Chen has almost never felt tired after running around for several days, he has never relaxed himself.

Today I was just free, so I took a hot spring alone for a while, which made his body and spirit much easier.

At 10:30 in the morning, a Cathay Pacific Airbus A321 landed safely at Jinling Airport.

This plane is the earliest of the three flights from Hong Kong Island to Jinling.

After the plane lands, the first-class flight attendants will lower the curtain between the first-class and economy class as usual, and give priority to first-class passengers off the plane.

As soon as the hatch door was opened, a young woman wearing sunglasses and a mask couldn't wait to stand up, picked up her handbag, and couldn't wait to walk out of the plane.

This young woman is Liu Manqiong, the eldest daughter of the Liu family who had just arrived in Jinling from Hong Kong Island.

The reason why Liu Manqiong came to Jinling early in the morning was that Jinling University invited her to the school today to participate in the interview for the introduction of outstanding talents.

Jinling University is very interested in Liu Manqiong, a top student who just obtained a doctorate degree from the University of Hong Kong. Several school leaders in charge of the introduction of talent evaluation have almost made the decision to directly recruit her after verifying her academic background. However, because Jinling University is a public university after all, the recruitment process must be taken, so Liu Manqiong was invited to come here.

Shortly after Liu Manqiong got his doctorate degree, he received an interview invitation from Jinling University. He was naturally very excited, so he booked the air ticket early and flew over early in the morning.

When Liu Jiahui learned that his daughter was coming to Jinling for an interview, he originally insisted on arranging a private plane and sent her over in person, but Liu Manqiong politely declined his kindness.

It’s not that Liu Manqiong is still dissatisfied with her father, but mainly because she came to Jinling this time and didn’t want to be too arrogant.

Liu Manqiong knew very well. As Ye Chen’s base camp, there was any obvious disturbance. Ye Chen would definitely know. If his father came to see him in person, not to mention Ye Chen would definitely receive the news, even the Jinling media would probably follow up and report it.

Her plan is to never let Ye Chen know about this before receiving the official recruitment notice from Jinling University, so as not to be looked down upon by Ye Chen if she fails to get this position.

What's more, she wanted to give Ye Chen a surprise, so she had to wait until she got the employment notice before letting Ye Chen know.

Because of this, she didn't agree with her father's proposal and planned to be low-key and low-key, so she flew over alone.

Since the relevant person in charge of Jinling University also knew that Liu Manqiong was in Hong Kong, they specially set Liu Manqiong's interview time at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. In this way, whether Liu Manqiong chooses to come to Jinling the day before or comes to the day of the interview, there is more time and not too much time.

Based on this time, Liu Manqiong also booked a flight ticket to return to Hong Kong Island at 9:30 tonight. Under normal circumstances, the interview will definitely end before 6:00 pm. Regardless of whether the results can be obtained, she plans to go back to Hong Kong Island first, so as not to be known by Ye Chen.

This is also why Liu Manqiong has to wear sunglasses and a mask throughout the flight.

Ten minutes later, Liu Manqiong had already appeared and walked out of the airport, preparing to take a taxi to Jinling University. Although the interview was in the afternoon, she also wanted to take advantage of the gap between the two to get a rough idea of ​​the situation of Jinling University and the surrounding environment nearby.

However, when she just walked out of the airport, a middle-aged woman came up and asked respectfully: "Is it Miss Liu Manqiong, right?"

Liu Manqiong became nervous in an instant, subconsciously took a step back and looked at her, and asked vigilantly: "Who are you?!"

Seeing that Liu Manqiong was a little nervous, the other party quickly explained: "Ms. Liu, don't be nervous. My name is Li Shuxian. It is Mr. Qiu Yingshan, the butler of Mr. Qiu in Jinling. He asked me to pick you up at the airport and have lunch at the same time!"

Hong Kong Island has always been closely connected with Southeast Asia. Liu Jiahui has personal relationships with many wealthy people in Southeast Asia. Qiu Yingshan was Liu Jiahui's father's friend back then, and later he had a lot of business dealings with Liu Jiahui, so Liu Jiahui is more like a nephew to Qiu Yingshan.

Liu Jiahui learned that Liu Manqiong was going to Jinling and wanted to go with him, but his daughter refused. In desperation, he had to call Qiu Yingshan and ask him to arrange someone to help take care of Liu Manqiong.

Liu Jiahui didn't know that Qiu Yingshan was in Jinling, but he knew that Qiu Yingshan had always had an industry in Jinling, and there were people to manage it. He mainly felt sorry for his daughter's inconvenience in unfamiliar places, so he wanted to ask Qiu Yingshan for help and arrange a housekeeper and a driver. At least after his daughter arrived in Jinling and before leaving Jinling, she would not have to worry about traffic.

But by chance, Qiu Yingshan happened to be in Jinling.

When he learned that Liu Jiahui's daughter was coming, he planned to arrange for Sister Xian to pick up Liu Manqiong from the airport and invite Liu Manqiong to his house for a casual meal.

Liu Jiahui was naturally very happy when he heard that Qiu Yingshan was in Jinling, so he immediately informed the other party of his daughter's flight number.

Even when he took Liu Manqiong to the airport this morning, he took a secret photo of Liu Manqiong's clothes while he was not paying attention when he got off the bus.

It was precisely because of this photo that Sister Xian recognized Liu Manqiong wearing sunglasses and a mask at a glance.

But Liu Manqiong didn't know about this.

She only knew that in Hong Kong, the children of wealthy families were kidnapped, not once or twice, the most sensational one among them, and even shocked the world.

So she was suddenly recognized in Jinling, and the other party moved out of Qiu Yingshan. Her first thought was that she was in danger.

Although she knew Qiu Yingshan and had met Qiu Yingshan, she did not trust Sister Xian, so she shook her head and said, "Sorry, you may have recognized the wrong person."

After saying that, she turned around and walked towards a crowded place.

Sister Xian quickly caught up with her and said, "Ms. Liu, if you don't believe me, you can call your father. He told my husband the news that you are coming to Jinling."

"My dad?" Liu Manqiong frowned. At this time, the phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw that it was her father calling.

So she immediately answered the phone and asked, "Dad, have you told others about my visit to Jinling?"
