Ten minutes later, the two arrived at a restaurant.
It has to be said that Sifang City is a big city, far from being comparable to Tianyuan City.
Even the scale of the restaurant is far behind.
The restaurant they went to before was the best restaurant in Tianyuan City, but it was far inferior to the restaurant in front of them.
And in Wang Pingbei's words, this restaurant is not the best in Sifang City, it is only in the top ten.
The two went upstairs and chose a private room facing the street.
Wang Pingbei ordered the food, while Xiao Chen opened the window and looked at the passers-by outside.
There is not much sense of incongruity, at most it feels like being in some antique commercial street in China.
However, those are just imitations, while this place really has hundreds of years of history.
After the waiter went out, Xiao Chen came back and sat down.
"Brother Chen, have some tea."
Wang Pingbei poured the tea. As the genius of Qingyun Tower, he has gradually adapted to the role of "little brother".
Including his own mentality, which has changed a lot compared to before.
Nothing else, Xiao Chen gave too much.
It made him feel that following Xiao Chen as a younger brother might be more satisfying than being a proud figure in Qingyun Tower!
The only thing that worried him was whether Xiao Chen would go crazy and cause trouble...
If Xiao Chen kept a low profile, he thought that staying with Xiao Chen would be a good choice.
"Um."
Xiao Chen took a sip of tea.
"Beizi, when old ghost Qinglu was delivering the message to Qingyun Tower, did he mention me?"
"I must have mentioned it. You saved me."
Wang Pingbei was stunned, wondering why Xiao Chen suddenly brought this up.
"Did you say my name?"
Xiao Chen asked again.
"This... doesn't seem to be the case."
Wang Pingbei thought about it and shook his head.
"Brother Chen, what's wrong?"
"Since my name is not mentioned, I will continue to use the name 'Chen Xiao' when speaking to the public."
Xiao Chen said slowly.
"Chen Xiao...just change your name, right?"
Wang Pingbei was puzzled. He felt that this name could easily remind people of "Xiao Chen" and was not safe.
"No, this is it."
Xiao Chen shook his head. He had his own considerations.
He hadn't figured out how to take the initiative to find Xiao Sheng yet.
Including the Tianji Pavilion, no one had figured out how to say it without attracting the Tianji Pavilion's attention.
So, all he could do was to be passive and wait for Xiao Sheng to come to him!
If Xiao Sheng was free, he would definitely think of him when he heard the name "Chen Xiao".
It’s not just because the two words ‘Xiao Chen’ are reversed, but also because back then… when he was still in the Xiao family, he used the name ‘Chen Xiao’.
Xiao Sheng knew about this.
Next, he planned to be more high-profile and let the name "Chen Xiao" spread.
If Xiao Sheng hears about this, he will definitely come over.
It’s better than him taking the initiative to look for her. It would be bad if it attracted attention or caused trouble.
Of course, this is just the first step. If Xiao Sheng doesn't make any move after a long time, we can't just remain passive.
But he has just arrived in Tianwaitian and is still unfamiliar with this place. He has no idea what to do, so he better be careful.
"OK."
Wang Pingbei knew that Xiao Chen had made up his mind and didn't say anything more.
He had already thought it through, trying not to change Xiao Chen's mind, positioning himself well, and playing the role of a 'little brother' or 'follower'.
He just needs to demonstrate his value and let Xiao Chen give him the antidote... and then give him some cultivation resources, and that's it.
Soon, the food and wine were served.
"Come, Brother Chen, have a try... The dishes here are quite unique. Some of them are made from the meat of exotic animals."
Wang Pingbei introduced.
"For example, this dish is made from the meat of the flying pig..."
"Flying pig...meat?"
Xiao Chen looked at the plate of stir-fried pork in front of him with a strange expression, but also a bit of anticipation.
He slaughtered a few flying pigs, but threw them into the bone ring and didn't eat them yet.
Now, I can get a taste of what it tastes like.
"Brother Chen, I toast you... Today, you saved my life again."
Wang Pingbei picked up the wine glass and said seriously.
"If it weren't for you, I might have been killed by that old bastard Chen Haitao."
"Haha, you're so polite."
Xiao Chen smiled and clinked glasses with Wang Pingbei.
"You are mine. Anyone who wants to kill you must first ask me for my consent..."
"Yeah, I did it, you can do whatever you want."
Wang Pingbei said this and drank the wine with his head tilted back.
Xiao Chen also drank it all in one gulp and began to taste the flying pig...meat.
You know what, this thing is different from ordinary pork.
It is also different from wild boar meat.
Wild boar meat is tougher and coarser... whereas flying pig meat is more tender and slightly sweet.
“It tastes good.”
Xiao Chen praised and smiled.
He felt that Dahan would definitely like Flying Pig's... elbow.
There are several flying pigs in the bone ring, waiting to be taken back!
"Brother Chen, after dinner, do you want to go for a stroll? Or do you want to go to the Wenqing Building?"
After a few drinks, Wang Pingbei asked.
"Just take a stroll and then go back to the inn. I have things to do."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"If you want to go to the Love Questioning Tower, you can go by yourself... Do you still have spirit stones? If not, I'll give you some more."
"Yes, but I didn't have a chance to use it."
Wang Pingbei said hurriedly.
"Brother Chen, if you don't go, how can I go alone... How about this, after dinner, we'll just go for a walk and then go back."
"good."
Xiao Chen nodded and picked up the cup.
"Come on, Beizi, have another drink. From now on...it might be hard for you."
"It's not hard. It's my honor to work for you, Brother Chen."
Wang Pingbei raised his glass with both hands, lowered it to Xiao Chen's glass, and gently touched it.
"Being with Brother Chen has helped me find my 'value'. Even when I was a prodigy in Qingyun Tower, I never felt so valuable."
"hehe."
Xiao Chen laughed when he heard Wang Pingbei's words. Isn't this too much?
However, he did not say much. This kid was still quite interesting... He definitely couldn't let him go, but as long as he did a good job, he would not treat him unfairly.
About an hour later, the two finished their meal and the sky outside had become completely dark.
After Wang Pingbei paid the bill, he and Xiao Chen left the restaurant and wandered around Sifang City.
The Sifang City at night is brightly lit with people coming and going, and looks quite lively.
"Ancient warriors and ordinary people can live in the same world without feeling out of place... This feeling is quite amazing."
Xiao Chen released his spiritual consciousness, and most of the people around him were ordinary people.
Compared to ordinary people in Tianyuan City, ordinary people here obviously live better.
You can tell just from their clothes.
Furthermore, when facing ancient warriors, although they are somewhat respectful, they are not so humble.
“Do ordinary people here have more dignity?”
Xiao Chen muttered something and retracted his outward spiritual consciousness.
"Brother Chen, do you see the building in front? That's the City Lord's Mansion."
Wang Pingbei whispered.
"City Lord's Mansion?"
Xiao Chen looked over and saw a magnificent building, simple and elegant.
"Isn't this place controlled by four forces? Why is there a City Lord's Mansion?"
"The city lord is also from the four factions. Everyone takes turns to stay in the city lord's mansion... for a period of five years."
Wang Pingbei introduced.
"The current city lord is from the Broken Star Palace, and the other three forces are supporting them... In fact, not only them, but also the Qingyun Tower and others are involved in the management of the City Lord's Mansion, including the Longteng Chamber of Commerce."
"The emperor takes turns. Is it my turn this year? The four major forces take turns? And then the other forces serve as a supplement? This model... is quite interesting."
Xiao Chen curled the corner of his mouth and thought of the mother world.
"Yes, some of the big cities here, as long as they are not controlled by one force, basically follow this model."
Wang Pingbei nodded.
"Like the Longteng Chamber of Commerce, it has a great influence in Tianwaitian, not only because of its strong financial resources, in addition to having top-level experts, but also because it has a say in all major cities."
"clear."
Xiao Chen looked at the magnificent City Lord's Mansion in front of him.
"Can I go in here and take a look?"
"Of course not."
Wang Pingbei shook his head.
"Is there any treasure hidden in here?"
Xiao Chen asked again.
"No."
Wang Pingbei was shocked after he finished speaking and looked at Xiao Chen.
"Brother Chen, what do you want to do?"
"Nothing, I'm just asking."
Xiao Chen smiled, but felt a little disappointed.
"Let's go and have a look somewhere else..."
“…”
Wang Pingbei was speechless. Are you really just asking casually?
Why is he so unconvinced?
"Hey, Beizi, the four forces control Sifang City. They can't be without some background, right?"
Xiao Chen turned around and asked.
"Brother Chen, we just arrived... and we have to attend the auction. If you cause trouble, how can we stay here?"
Wang Pingbei had a bitter face.
"Didn't you say, keep a low profile?"
"Well, if I can really make a fortune, why would I participate in an auction..."
Xiao Chen said this and looked at Wang Pingbei.
"Okay, okay, don't look so sad. I'm just saying it casually. I'm not a robber... If they don't provoke me, I won't rob them."
"Uh-huh."
Wang Pingbei breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Xiao Chen might have some bad intentions.
But he also knew a little bit about Xiao Chen.
As long as they are not enemies, Xiao Chen is still very "friendly".
"However, Shanhai Tower is the enemy..."
Xiao Chen put his hands behind his back and walked away muttering.
“…”
Wang Pingbei's heart, which had just been relieved, became tense again.
He wouldn't really want to rob Shanhai Tower, right?
The two walked and stopped for more than an hour and returned to the inn.
Xiao Chen also learned more about Sifang City and Tianwaitian.
"Brother Chen, I'm going to go out and find out about the auction..."
Wang Pingbei said to Xiao Chen.
"Okay, go ahead."
As Xiao Chen spoke, he took out a few more spirit stones and threw them over.
"Use what you need, don't save it, there is plenty."
"Uh-huh."
Wang Pingbei took it and said, this rich man... is really wealthy!
After Wang Pingbei left, Xiao Chen closed the door, lit a cigarette, and took out a jade pendant.
He prepared to contact Kyuubi.
He didn't plan to contact Lin Yue anymore because the risk was too great.
He contacted Jiuwei and asked him to go to China, which would be safer!
The most important thing is that he is not clear about the situation in the ancient martial arts world for the time being, and whether Tianwai Tian has sent any strong people over there.
If we really send a strong person over, will Lao Xiao and the others feel pressured?
As long as the Nine-Tailed Fox is there, the pressure won't be a big deal.
With Kyuubi around, he can do things in Tianwai Tian without any worries!
