My ex-girlfriend thought I was poor, so I made 100 million by betting on stones.

Chapter 1840: The Past 4 Years Ago

"The Great Elder is more clear about these matters?"

Yang Feng looked at Zhuge Yichen.

Zhuge Yichen smiled and said, "I'm usually in charge of these files, so naturally I'm familiar with them. To be honest, after I heard that the man you fought with was called Qin Linyuan, the first thing that came to my mind was that file."

"That is to say... your files really do record his story!"

Yang Feng looked surprised.

What he was worried about was that what Qin Linyuan said happened too long ago, or that the Zhuge family had no records of it.

It now seems that the Zhuge family still has the habit of preserving history.

Zhuge Yichen nodded and said, "I've already had the files brought over. They'll be here soon."

"That's good, but before you come, could you please tell me the whole story?"

Yang Feng knew that the file would arrive soon, but he still looked impatient and said, "It only requires some simple procedures."

"Well, to talk about this matter, we actually have to start with our family head four hundred years ago, who is also the ancestor of our Zhuge family. His name is Zhuge Hua."

When Zhuge Yichen mentioned this person, he glanced at Yang Feng.

Yang Feng was indeed familiar with the situation. He said, "I remember you mentioned before that Patriarch Zhuge Hua and Senior Qingtian were from the same era and were very good friends. Senior Qingtian even helped the Zhuge family defend against foreign invasions."

"Yes, you have a very good memory."

Zhuge Yichen nodded and said, "Since you know about their friendship, things will be easier to explain. In fact, this still has to start with the Chinese Dragon Vein."

"You say."

Yang Feng became serious.

Zhuge Yichen raised his head and said with emotion, "In fact, the Chinese Dragon Vein appeared once more than four hundred years ago, but at that time, only the top masters knew about it. As a top family, the Zhuge family naturally participated in it at that time."

"I heard Qin Linyuan say that."

"Yes, because of the incident with the Chinese Dragon Vein, there was unrest among the ancient warriors. Because of the example of Sima Shan, everyone knew the power of the Chinese Dragon Vein."

Zhuge Yichen said, "Before that, Sima Shan had already demonstrated his strength and helped the Sima family return to its peak. You should be very clear about this."

"Yes."

"It's also because of this that everyone's pursuit of the Chinese Dragon Vein has become even more crazy. After all, Sima Shan has achieved such success with just a wisp of dragon energy. You can imagine what others are thinking."

Zhuge Yichen said, "At that time, the most outstanding ancient martial artist was Senior Qingtian. This was beyond doubt. In fact, no one dared to challenge his authority. However, Senior Qingtian seemed unconcerned about the affairs of the Chinese Dragon Veins."

"Why?"

"According to records, Senior Qingtian believes that the power of the dragon vein is too strong for any one person to control, and it will also interfere with China's destiny."

Zhuge Yichen said with a serious expression, "For this, he even had a long talk with our Patriarch Zhuge Hua."

"How is the result?"

"At that time, our patriarch was outshined by Sima Shan and was actually very unhappy. He told Senior Qingtian that he only needed to obtain a wisp of dragon energy and did not need to obtain all the dragon veins."

Zhuge Yichen looked serious and continued, "What our Patriarch wanted was to counter the power of Sima Shan. Because the Sima family was too powerful at that time."

Yang Feng only listened to these words selectively.

He naturally knew that as a descendant of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Yichen could not speak ill of his ancestors.

However, Yang Feng still guessed the outcome and said, "I'm afraid that Senior Qingtian has some objections to this matter."

"Yes, although Senior Qingtian strongly opposes it, but..."

Zhuge Yichen mentioned this matter, which made Yang Feng's thoughts gradually return to that night more than four hundred years ago.

……

More than four hundred years ago.

Zhuge family.

There was only dim firelight in the yard.

Zhuge Hua sat opposite Qingtian.

"Brother Qingtian, I know that if the Zhuge family gets into trouble, you will definitely help, but your status is not suitable for interfering in too many affairs between ancient warriors."

Zhuge Hua continued, "I also want to rely on my own strength to restore the Zhuge family to its rightful place, just like in the past. I absolutely cannot let Sima Shan take away the glory of my Zhuge family for over a thousand years because of a momentary stroke of luck."

"Over a thousand years have passed since the family feud. Rise and fall are just common occurrences in the long river of history. The power of this dragon vein is by no means as simple as we imagine. If you insist on fighting for it, you will only bring disaster upon yourself."

Qingtian shook his head and said, "The Sima family rose to prominence because of Sima Shan, but he was only a flash in the pan. The Zhuge family has such a strong foundation, why bother competing with him for a short period of time?"

"But brother, the Zhuge family can decline at anyone's hands and fall behind the Sima family, but it must never fall at my hands."

Zhuge Hua's tone became much more serious. "If I fail now, how will future generations judge me?"

"I believe history will always make a fair judgment. If you participate in this matter, you will only waste your life unnecessarily. How can the Chinese Dragon Vein be so easily obtained?"

Qingtian shook his head and said, "Sima Shan challenged me before, and I already know how strong he is. That was just a very small wisp of dragon energy, but it still had such power. If everyone gathered near the dragon vein, then..."

"I'm sorry, I have to do this."

Zhuge Hua interrupted Qingtian's words.

With determination in his eyes, he said, "I'm very grateful for your help when the Zhuge family was invaded last time, Brother Qingtian, but the Zhuge family is not a small family, and we can't live under the cradle of others forever."

"..."

The sky was silent.

He saw the seriousness of his old friend and his desire for the power of the dragon vein.

At this moment, Qingtian suddenly realized it.

Even the most calm person cannot resist greed when faced with such power, just like Zhuge Hua in front of him.

Qingtian was silent for a long time, and finally he slowly stood up.

Zhuge Hua's face suddenly showed guilt, and he quickly stood up and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to target you just now..."

"Three days later, I will go to the place where the dragon vein appears."

After Qingtian said this, he left.

Zhuge Hua looked at Qingtian's leaving back with a very complicated expression.

He knew Qingtian could protect his family, but for Zhuge Hua, this was something he could not tolerate...

…………

Time returns to the present.

From Zhuge Yichen's words, Yang Feng seemed to feel the struggle between Qingtian and Zhuge Hua that night.

One is struggling for the family.

Another one is considering the future of the entire ancient warrior world.
