Chapter 3: Before Leaving

Chen Xi looked at the surprised Chen Lan and shrugged his shoulders. He didn't have any problem with teaching other people. As for teaching her the mental energy technique, there is nothing to say. In his words, he is so idle that teaching others is to pass time just like learning, and he can review what he learn by teaching.

"Thank you, Master." Chen Lan's said in excited expression.

In the next few months, Chen Lan followed Chen Xi to learn. In addition to learning the essence of mental energy, it is to read more books and recognize words. One is willing to learn and the other one is willing to teach making the process very simple. Chen Lan learned very quickly, and is at least now able to read the book by herself.

Looking at the wanted order on the wall, Chen Xi sighed, the time has come.

[This is not impossible from certain point of view in time and space, but no matter what, at least I now have my own capital.] Chen Xi looked at the wanted order of Cao Cao and thought to himself silently.

"We are leaving, Uncle Chen, to go to the Fan family house." Chen Xi said to the housekeeper behind him.

As soon this remark came out, Uncle Chen's face sank, but he nodded. Chen Xi's body has now recovered, and the family that once had fallen now has hope, and the marriage with the Fan family should also be taken care of.

Chen Xi also knew about the marriage. When this body was very young, he got engaged. When Chen Xi's father passed away, the Fan family patriarch still came, and even plan to marry his daughter to Chen Xi as soon as possible to continue the Chen family bloodline, but was pushed away by Chen Xi to show his filial piety for his father by mourning.

However, Chen Xi became sick, and the Fan family slowly stop coming. It has been a long time since they came, but Chen Xi is also very clear. It is normal for the Fan family to be willing to keep their promises when Chen Xi is in good health, but if Chen Xi's health is not good, they are probably reluctant to marry their daughter to someone who might die soon.

Thinking from the perspective of the Fan family, the Fan family can be considered king to Chen Xi. They did not cancel the relation because of Chen Xi's father death, and even intended to fulfill their original promise. Afterward Chen Xi became sick, and the Fan family stop coming, because they are afraid to push their daughter into the fire pit.

But this is simply unforgivable to Uncle Chen. Since the marriage has already been set, although there is no ritual and the usual process, the two patriarch have already agreed to let Chen Xi marry his second daughter when he turn sixteen. But now the Chen patriarch is dead, and the young master is already 17 years old, your Fan family change their mind and decided to ignore it. What is this!?

"Master Chen!" The servant of the Fan family was shocked when he saw Chen Xi, but followed the ceremony, and quickly notified the house.

"I'm here to see Uncle Fan." Chen Xi said indifferently. According to his estimate, Fan family is basically impossible to cancel the marriage. When Chen Xi was seriously ill, not mentioning the marriage contract means anything. It can be mentioned that after Chen Xi's father died, not taking back the marriage contract is enough to show their sincerity.

"Master Chen, please come inside. The patriarch is waiting for you in the main hall." Soon the housekeeper of the Fan family ran over.

"Ok." Chen Xi nodded. He now has headache about what he should say. If the family don't want to marry to him, it's fine, but now the situation is obvious.

"Xi'er, come here, sit here, your uncle has been always caring about your health recently. If you had any serious problem's or die, I won't be able to explain it to the Chen family." Fan's patriarch said while sitting on the main seat with a touch of joy on his face.

When Chen Xi was showing filial piety before, Fan Liang (Fan's patriarch) planned to sent his daughter to the Chen family, just to take care of Chen Xi. As for filial piety, if the Chen family blood is gone, there is no value in observing filial piety.

But Chen Xi refuels Fan Liang's plan, and became sick afterwards. Once he was sick, Fan Liang was stunned. His daughter's happiness was as important as his promise to his righteous brother. He could only pay attention to this matter in silence. As for the daughter's marriage, according to Chen Xi's statement, it was postponed for three years.

As for three years later, if Chen Xi is still sick, there is no good way for Fan Liang. At that time, as long as Chen Xi speak, Fan Liang would have to bear the heartache and marry his daughter.

But fortunately, six months ago, Fan Liang got the news that Chen Xi was cured. Which was simply a booster shot for him, and finally he didn't have to suffer between the two decisions. However, he was embarrassed to mention it since he kept dragging it on, and simply waited for Chen Xi to come to mention this matter. At most, he would paid double the dowry at that time. He did something really unreasonable.

"Go call Fan Jian." Fan Liang told the butler.

"Uncle, you don't need to call for sister Jian to come. I'm here to cancel the marriage. I plan to travel around the world. I was seriously ill before and it made me understand a lot of things. If a person hasn't gone out of the place he lived, it is a sad thing. I hope I can go out and see the world." Chen Xi said respectfully.

Fan Liang froze for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Xi'er, uncle was a little bit unreasonable before, but you have think about it more. The world is not peaceful, your father entrusted you to me when he died. If you have an accident, I have no way to explain to your father."

"Uncle can rest assured, although Xi is not talented, he also has a little mean of self-preservation." said Chen Xi.

"Alas, it seems that I can't stop you." Fan Liang looked at Chen Xi with a sigh, and there was a little relief in his eyes. "You can go, but you must finish the marriage. Fan Jian is no longer small."

"..." Chen Xi pouted slightly, and thought [You give her to me but I don't dare to start. Ok! That girl is two years younger than me, letting me do it with a fifteen-year old girl, ** ...]

Of course, Chen Xi also knows that in the Han Dynasty, a 15-year old girl is already an adult. And the tax to pay for her is doubled. Of course, you don't need to double it if she get married ...

"That, Uncle, I can write down the marriage first, and get married after I return from my travel." Chen Xi said helplessly, for the the little loli who was always behind him when he was child and called him brother, Chen Xi know that he could not escape. If you dare to cancel, the Fan family will have a hatred with Chen Xi. Besides, marriage seems to have little effect on Chen Xi.

Well, the marriage letter at this time is simply handing over your birth date and can be considered done. The two dates were originally the same, but now that Chen Xi wrote a copy of it, it can be considered legally bound.

After finishing everything, Chen Xi started to march towards the west in a horse-drawn carriage. It was reported that the world's righteous Cao Cao is now recruiting troops. Obviously, Chen Xi wants mix up for the ride. As for whether he can encountered this world Liu Bei, he is not sure.

Gonna stop calling him 'young master' and change to 'master' since his father is not alive anymore and he is about to become a famous person.
