Hearing the commotion, Xiang Yun, Ma Di, and Cui Miao turned to look at the door. However, Xiang Yun was a little guilty for being caught poaching someone's boyfriend. He still thought that Chi Chen, Lin Bai, and the other two were young men who had come out to make a living on their own.
Because Xiang Yun visited Chi Chen every day during his recovery period, and no one else came to visit Chi Chen, he came to this conclusion.
"Who are you……?"
Xiang Yun looked at Zhang Rong, who was burly and seemed to exude an aura that made him feel uneasy for a moment, and felt a little strange.
In Guangxia City, there aren't many people who can give Xiang Yun this feeling. After all, Xiang Yun was once a peak Star Radiance Realm expert, and he is familiar with most of the big shots in Guangxia City. Even if those big shots don't know him, Xiang Yun knows them.
Therefore, Xiang Yun was quite puzzled by Zhang Rong's sudden appearance. Where did this big shot suddenly come from?
Could they be newcomers from Earth?
Xiang Yun glanced at Zhang Rong a few more times, and the more he looked, the stranger he felt. It was clearly the first time he had seen that resolute face, but the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed.
I feel like I've seen it somewhere before, but I can't quite remember where.
"So you want Chi Chen and the others to join your team?"
Zhang Rong, with a smile in his eyes, didn't bother to stare at Xiang Yun, and asked in a low voice.
Zhang Rong has always been the one poaching talent from others, discovering their strengths. He's never been poached by anyone before, which has piqued his interest.
"Uncle, who is he...?"
Xiang Ming swallowed hard. It wasn't that he was afraid of Zhang Rong or anything, but after he figured some things out, he felt even more nervous in front of this pillar of the Great Xia Dynasty!
Zhang Rong was once one of the top figures in the Great Xia Dynasty. Now he has taken it a step further and can be said to be the thickest and strongest pillar among the Great Xia Dynasty's pillars!
Goodness, this is one of the top figures in the entire dimensional world and the entire Earth. Who wouldn't be nervous if they ran into him?
Well, of course, excluding Chi Chen, Lin Bai, Qing Sheng, and Hu Miaomiao.
After all, although Zhang Rong often claimed that he should maintain a dignified image in front of Chi Chen and the others, in reality, Zhang Rong was more like a loving old father taking care of Chi Chen and the others. It's just that this old father's cooking skills were really not that great!
"Xiaoming, now you'd better shut up!"
Seeing that Xiang Ming seemed a bit off, Xiang Yun assumed he was feeling guilty because he had been caught poaching someone else's girlfriend. She knew that if he opened his mouth and ruined her plans, it would be disastrous. So, Xiang Yun immediately interrupted Xiang Ming.
Although caught red-handed, Xiang Yun clearly didn't intend to give up easily and planned to continue his efforts, hoping to reason with Zhang Rong and appeal to his emotions.
After all, look, your person was injured and unconscious for several days, and you, as an adult, didn't even come to see him. That's a bit unreasonable, isn't it?
This was the best angle that Xiang Yun could think of in an instant.
Zhang Rong, standing nearby, gave Xiang Ming a look, signaling him not to say anything more.
Zhang Rong had met Xiang Ming a few times. When they were in Shangjing District, Zhang Rong had learned a little about Xiang Ming from Chi Chen, so Zhang Rong respected him quite a bit. In addition, because of Xiang Qing, Zhang Rong treated Xiang Ming like her own child.
Looking at Wang Hao and Gan Yuan, Zhang Rong had only met them twice: once after the battle outside the city of Shangjing, and once at the closing ceremony of the new recruit training camp.
However, Wang Hao and Gan Yuan were among those who received special praise for their outstanding performance at the closing ceremony, so Zhang Rong still had some impression of them.
Looking at the three people, a smile suddenly appeared on Zhang Rong's face, and an idea came to mind.
"well!"
Seeing this, Xiang Ming looked at his uncle with some sympathy.
Uncle, don't blame me for not reminding you, you're the one who interrupted me!
"Xiang Ming, who exactly is this seemingly powerful big shot?"
Standing beside Xiang Ming, Gan Yuan noticed that Xiang Ming's body had been tense since earlier, and he could naturally feel his tension. Gan Yuan had rarely seen a scene like this that could make a scion of a wealthy family like Xiang Ming appear in such a state.
Although Gan Yuan had met Zhang Rong twice, he did not know Zhang Rong's true identity and only regarded him as Chi Chen's elder. Therefore, Gan Yuan was also a little curious about Xiang Ming's appearance.
Even Wang Hao approached Xiang Ming with his eyes full of wisdom, clearly showing that he was also interested in Zhang Rong's identity.
"he..."
Xiang Ming pulled the two men to his side and whispered something in Gan Yuan and Wang Hao's ears.
"Lying down..."
Upon hearing this, Gan Yuan and Wang Hao's eyes widened instantly as they stared at Zhang Rong, their mouths agape. But before they could utter a sound of disbelief, Xiang Ming reached out and firmly covered their mouths with his hand.
Gan Yuan and Wang Hao had their mouths covered, their eyes wide with excitement and agitation.
Anyone who joins the Great Xia Slaying Secret Bureau knows Zhang Rong's glorious past deeds!
Zhang Rong can be considered the common idol of all the younger generation who are a few generations below him.
At the same time, Xiang Yun, who was now focused on how to poach talent, did not notice the actions of the three teenagers and immediately launched into his verbal sparring mode.
Xiang Yun rattled off a long string of words, first mentioning that Xiang Ming and Chi Chen were good brothers who had gone through life and death together several times, indicating that they had a deep emotional foundation, and then thanking Chi Chen for saving all of them.
Then he went on to say how he would allocate all the best resources to Chi Chen if Chi Chen followed him.
Xiang Ming, who was listening from the side, was somewhat stunned. He began to wonder whether he or Chi Chen was Xiang Yun's nephew. In a fit of anger, Xiang Ming immediately abandoned the idea of reminding Xiang Yun again.
Never mind, let this uncle do whatever he wants. Xiang Ming wants to see what kind of expression Xiang Yun will have when he finds out Zhang Rong's identity.
Meanwhile, Chi Chen and Lin Bai were celebrating their birthdays. Hu Miaomiao and the other three remained quiet after Zhang Rong entered, eager to see what interesting things would happen next.
After explaining the benefits of Chi Chen coming to his side, Xiang Yun began his offensive against Zhang Rong. In short, he said that Zhang Rong was somewhat irresponsible, letting such good young people go so far outside the city on their own, and that he hadn't even come to visit Chi Chen who was injured for several days!
Anyway, after Xiang Yun's barrage of words, Xiang Yun felt that she had portrayed herself as a responsible and good parent, while Zhang Rong had become an irresponsible and careless bad parent.
After Xiang Yun finished speaking, he was somewhat impressed with his own words, and his face was full of pride. Clearly, he believed that his success rate was already very high!
Little did he know that in the eyes of Xiang Ming and others, he had already become the spokesperson for high-end green tea.
Xiang Ming sighed helplessly. He had never known that his uncle had this side to him before!
However, Xiang Ming knew that his uncle's wishful thinking was definitely going to fail today!
"How about this? After all, you were Xiao Chen's former caretaker. If I just take them away, it'll be embarrassing for you. You can make any requests you have. I'm a Ruoyue Realm cultivator now, and I have some connections in Guangxia City. Although your realm might not be lower than mine, you're new here. I'll see if I can help you with any problems!"
Xiang Yun saw that he had said enough. After all, he was taking people away from someone else's command, so it wouldn't be right not to give him some reward. He generously asked Zhang Rong to name his terms.
"Hehe, I don't have any problem with it. You can ask them if they'd like to go with you. If they're willing, I have nothing to say!"
Zhang Rong listened for a long time, but his expression didn't change much. He just pointed at Chi Chen and the others.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yun's old face immediately broke into a wide smile, as if he had never expected Zhang Rong to agree so readily.
"So, Xiao Chen? Look, he's let you choose for yourselves. You'll come with me, and you'll have company with Xiao Ming and the others. I won't go back on my word. So why don't you come with me?"
Xiang Yun turned to Chi Chen with a big smile. All he had to do was get Chi Chen to nod, and he could happily leave with his people.
Seeing this, Chi Chen glanced at Zhang Rong with some helplessness. This old man, is he in a playful mood again?
Okay, then I'll play along with you and see what you do next!
"Sure, Uncle Yun, I'd love to join Xiang Ming and the others in exploring this dimensional realm!"
Chi Chen nodded with a smile.
Now it was Xiang Ming, Gan Yuan, and Wang Hao's turn to be completely baffled.
What's going on?
What are Zhang Rong and Chi Chen doing?
Are we really going to follow Xiang Yun?
"Haha, great! Don't worry, Xiao Chen, I'll definitely raise you like my own son from now on!"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yun's face blossomed even more brightly. He really hadn't expected to be able to bring Chi Chen into his team so easily.
