Zhuge Qingxi continued to set up the spirit gathering formation, and Xiao Chen and others helped.

They didn't stop until it was very dark, the women came back and prepared the meal.

The women all knew that Zhuge Qingxi had set up the spirit gathering formation, and they kept picking food for her, saying that she had worked hard.

There was a pile of things in front of Zhuge Qingxi like a small mountain, which made her laugh and cry, but also warm in her heart.

These are things she could not experience in the Zhuge family.

After dinner, the women chatted for a while and then went about their business.

Zhuge Qingxi was about to set up the formation again, but was stopped by Xiao Chen, who asked her to go play with Su Xiaomeng and take a rest.

"You can't do it in one day. You need to rest when you need to, understand?"

Xiao Chen said seriously.

"I understand, Brother Chen."

Zhuge Qingxi nodded obediently.

"Okay, go play."

Xiao Chen touched her head and sent her away.

"Brother Chen, let's go drink tonight."

Bai Ye greeted.

"We agreed on that yesterday."

"Um."

Just as Xiao Chen agreed, he saw the housekeeper coming.

"Mr. Xiao, a guest has arrived and is looking for you."

"Hmm? Who?"

Xiao Chen asked.

"He said his name was John."

The butler replied.

"He's a foreigner."

"John? A foreigner?"

Xiao Chen was stunned, and then he thought of who the visitor was.

"Where is he?"

"In the reception room."

"Is he the only one?"

"right."

"Okay, you go and entertain them first, I'll be there soon."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"OK."

The butler agreed and turned to leave.

"Who is it?"

Bai Ye was curious.

"Which John?"

"Serro's men."

Xiao Chen replied.

"Selro has arrived."

"Oh, it's the guy with the walking stick."

Bai Ye remembered.

"You guys go have a drink, I'll go meet him."

Xiao Chen said to Bai Ye.

"There's something I need to discuss with Selro as well."

"good."

Bai Ye nodded and left with Sun Wugong and others.

Xiao Chen went to the reception room, and when he arrived, he saw John drinking tea.

He was still the same as before, wearing a suit, a top hat, and shiny leather shoes, with a pair of white gloves and a walking stick next to him.

"Haha, John, nice to see you again."

Xiao Chen looked at John and smiled.

"Mr. Xiao."

When John saw Xiao Chen, he also stood up and greeted him with a smile.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. You look... much more handsome."

"Hahaha, among Selro's men, you are the most talkative."

Hearing John's words, Xiao Chen burst into laughter.

"Sit down and talk."

"good."

John nodded and sat down.

"If White Rose sees that you are more handsome, she will definitely pester you and ask you to take her to visit Longhai at night."

"Hmm? She's here this time too?"

Xiao Chen's eyelids twitched and he asked.

"Hehe, it's not here yet, but it will probably be here soon."

John smiled.

"We came first."

"Oh, why are you alone? Where's Selro? They haven't arrived yet, so they asked you to lead the charge? Or what?"

Xiao Chen asked curiously.

"Serro has arrived, but it is inconvenient for him to show up... Not only him, but also people from the Dark Church have arrived, so try to hide as much as possible, otherwise there will be trouble."

John replied.

"Serro asked me to come here so that I could invite Mr. Xiao to meet him."

"Well, he's already in Longhai, right?"

Xiao Chen nodded. He had heard from Elder Long that some experts from the Dark Church had infiltrated China.

Now the news that the Black Blood Wand was in his hands had spread, just like when the news that the Xuanyuan Sword was in his hands spread, and it was being watched by many people.

Therefore, it is normal for Selro not to come to Xiao's Manor.

Once he shows up, it might not be easy to take the Black Blood Wand away.

"Yes, Selro has arrived."

John nodded.

"Mr. Xiao, is it convenient for you tonight? If it is convenient, shall we set off? After all... it is not suitable for Selro to stay in China for too long at this time."

"I see."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Okay, let's go now."

"good."

John put on white gloves, held a cane, and stood up.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Xiao, don't forget to bring... the Black Blood Wand."

"Wait a moment, I'll go get the black blood wand."

Xiao Chen nodded and left the reception room.

He said he was going to get the Black Blood Wand, but actually the Black Blood Wand was in his bone ring. But when he got there later, it would not be convenient to take it directly from the bone ring in front of so many people, so it would be better to take it out now.

"Go get me a bag."

Xiao Chen took out the black blood wand from the bone ring and said to the housekeeper.

"Mr. Xiao, how big is the bag?"

The butler asked.

"As long as it can fit in there."

Xiao Chen raised the black blood wand and said.

"Okay, please wait."

The butler took one look at the Black Blood Wand and quickly took back a bag containing golf clubs.

"Mr. Xiao, is this okay?"

"Haha, sure."

Xiao Chen smiled, put the black blood wand in, and then returned to the reception room.

"John, let's go."

"Uh-huh."

John glanced at the golf bag in Xiao Chen's hand and nodded.

"By the way, you came here by car, right?"

After leaving the reception room, Xiao Chen asked.

"Well, I drove here... I'll take Mr. Xiao back when the time comes."

John replied.

"No need to bother. I'll drive myself and you lead the way. In this way, I can come back by myself. No need to bother you to send me back."

Xiao Chen said to John.

"Mr. Xiao, it's no trouble... I have something on the way and I want to talk to Mr. Xiao about it."

John said hurriedly.

Hearing John say this, Xiao Chen nodded: "Okay, let's go."

The two got in the car and drove away from the Xiao Manor.

"Mr. Xiao, Serlo should have told you that the Dark Church has ten [Sons of Darkness], right?"

John asked on the way.

"Yes, as I said, it's similar to the fight for the throne in ancient times, with multiple sons competing for the throne...but your Dark Church is more chaotic. Not only are Selro and his brothers fighting, but there are also outsiders involved."

Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"After all, in our ancient times, most of the fights for the throne were between brothers."

"Yes, Thors is one of the [Sons of Darkness]."

John nodded.

"He had always been against Selro, and later...died in the Dragon Sea."

"When we go back this time, will Selro's successor be secure?"

Xiao Chen took out a cigarette, and when John waved his hand, he lit one for himself.

"uncertain."

John hesitated and shook his head.

"It seems so, but Selro still has strong rivals, and more than one."

"What's the meaning?"

Xiao Chen was surprised. Selro told him that he had already discussed it with his father. As long as the great elder died and he got the black blood wand and obtained the dark inheritance, he would be the successor!

"First of all... even if Selro gets the Black Blood Wand, he may not necessarily obtain the Dark Inheritance. In other words, he may not be recognized by the Black Blood Wand."

John replied.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen wanted to laugh. The Black Blood Wand was just a dead object, how could it be recognized?

He admitted that some things needed to be recognized, but most of them were bloodlines, skills, etc., rather than specific people.

If special bloodline is required, it is impossible for the elder brother to inherit while the younger brother cannot.

As for the technique, it is even simpler, as long as you practice it, it will be fine, no matter who you are.

To put it simply, if it resonates with people, it can be passed on.

So, if it was said that a treasure that could choose its own owner existed, it might really exist, but the Black Blood Wand... he didn't think it was on that level.

"As long as he doesn't obtain the inheritance of darkness and become the strongest in the Dark Church, even if he is the strongest among the Sons of Darkness, his position is not guaranteed."

John said again.

"His previous performance in Son of Darkness was not that good, even worse than Thors..."

"Haha, but Thors is dead, and Selro is alive."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"Isn't it? Winners take all, not to mention life and death... Only the living can continue, and the dead, no matter how outstanding they are, are shit."

"really."

John nodded.

"I also hope that Selro can excel, become the next Pope, and be called the [God of Darkness]..."

"Oh, he will."

Xiao Chen was smoking a cigarette.

"Selro is a very smart man."

"Um."

John nodded.

"No matter what, if I get the Black Blood Wand first, I'll be one step ahead... We'll just have to wait and see what happens next."

"That's it. Don't plan too much. It's useless."

Xiao Chen blew out a smoke ring.

"I'm very optimistic about Selro. In fact, not only you, I've also bet a lot on Selro... If he becomes the boss of the Dark Church, I'll save a lot of trouble. Otherwise, I'll be in trouble too."

"What about the Great Elder?"

John, who was driving, turned around and asked.

"That was done by the Dragon Emperor. It has nothing to do with me."

Xiao Chen replied with a smile.

"hehe."

John also laughed. He knew exactly what was going on.

However, since Xiao Chen said so, he did not continue the topic.

"In fact, I have always been paying attention to Mr. Xiao. Mr. Xiao is the most outstanding young man I have ever seen. If you are in the Dark Church, you must be the successor. No competitor can be your enemy."

"Don't praise me... I am not the best. There are many people in China who are better than me."

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"A handful."

“…”

John curled his lips. You're trying this again? I don't believe you!

"Mr. Xiao, you are joking...How many young people in China have such strong fighting power at this age?"

"Quite a few."

Xiao Chen said seriously.

"I'm not bragging to you, you still don't understand China... Maybe a hidden old monster will pop out from some corner, and their disciples are all very awesome."

"really?"

John found it hard to believe, but Xiao Chen's expression made him half-believing and half-doubting.

"Of course, two months later, I had a fight with a guy who was about my age and had similar strength."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"You don't know about this yet?"

"have no idea."

John shook his head.

"I think it will be wonderful."
