"Brother Chen, this kid is probably about the same age as you and me. I heard that he hasn't built his foundation yet, but his strength is extremely strong..."
"Do you know his title? Peerless Prodigy... What do these four words mean? I don't need to explain it, right?"
"He is very young, yet very powerful. He also founded Longmen and Wulin League, and almost unified the entire ancient martial arts world... Based on this alone, no one in the younger generation of Tianwai Tian can match him."
“…”
Zhao Ritian drank and praised Xiao Chen, not hiding his appreciation and admiration at all.
“…”
Xiao Chen's expression became more and more strange. Is this the little fanboy of Tianwaitian?
Wang Pingbei, who was standing next to him, looked at Zhao Ritian, then at Xiao Chen, and also completely relaxed.
It seems that he was overthinking just now. Zhao Ritian mentioned Xiao Chen not because he knew their identities.
"Praising Xiao Chen in front of Xiao Chen... If Zhao Ritian knew that the person sitting in front of him was Xiao Chen, I wonder what his reaction would be?"
Wang Pingbei muttered to himself, feeling a little amused.
"Brother Zhao, I heard that Xiao Chen is quite hostile to Tianwaitian..."
Xiao Chen thought about it and said.
"Hatred? Isn't this normal?"
Zhao Ritian put down his wine glass.
"If it were you or me, wouldn't we also be hostile if someone was targeting us? The forces from the outer world want to control the Mother Realm, but what about Xiao Chen? He is not afraid at all and dares to resist... This is what I admire most about him."
"Haha, come on, Brother Zhao, I'll toast you a glass."
Xiao Chen smiled and picked up the wine glass.
"Huh? I just finished a drink."
Zhao Ritian was stunned. Why was he toasting me for no reason?
"Then have another drink."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"All right."
Zhao Ritian picked up the cup, clinked it with Xiao Chen's, and drank it all in one gulp.
"I also want to go to the Mother Realm, but I don't plan on conquering anything. I just want to broaden my horizons... That world and that civilization must be very fascinating."
"Haha, now that the world is changing drastically, maybe it won't be long before you and I can descend to the Mother Realm."
Xiao Chen put down the cup and chuckled.
"Um."
Zhao Ritian nodded.
"Yes, I heard that recently many forces have prepared to go to the Mother Realm... After the auction is over, I will refine the storage device and plan to leave Sifang City. At that time, I will find a way to go to the Mother Realm."
"Are you in such a hurry?"
Xiao Chen glanced at Zhao Ritian.
"By the way, Brother Zhao, you just said that you met someone from the Mother Realm. Who was that person?"
"I met him by chance, and I didn't ask who he was, I just chatted with him."
Zhao Ritian shook his head.
"When I make friends, I never ask about their status. I just look at whether we get along well... I have friends from people as young as 180 to 18 years old! Of course, a close friend like Brother Chen is rare."
"What does he look like?"
Xiao Chen asked calmly.
Most of the people who came to Tianwai Tian from the Mother Realm were from the big forces in the ancient martial arts world... Apart from them, the only one he knew was Xiao Sheng.
Although he felt that it was unlikely to be Xiao Sheng, what if it was?
Zhao Ritian described it briefly: "Brother Chen, you seem to be very interested in this person?"
"Haha, I'm interested in the people from the Mother Realm."
Xiao Chen smiled and suppressed his disappointment.
Based on Zhao Ritian’s description, it doesn’t match Xiao Sheng’s.
"Brother Chen, what do you think of the Mother Realm?"
Zhao Ritian looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"Same as you."
Xiao Chen took a bite of food.
"Go and broaden your horizons."
"Brother Chen, how about we go to the Mother Realm together?"
Zhao Ritian said hurriedly.
"Hmm? Going to the Mother Realm?"
Xiao Chen was stunned. I just got here and you want me to go back?
"puff……"
Wang Pingbei couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Ritian frowned.
"No, ahem, I just thought of something funny, you guys continue your conversation."
Wang Pingbei shook his head.
"Well, Brother Zhao, forget about going to the Mother Realm. I still have some things to do after I leave the mountain, and I will do them next."
Xiao Chen looked at Zhao Ritian and said.
"How about this, you go first, and when I'm done, I'll go to the Mother Realm to find you."
"Is that so? Fine then."
Zhao Ritian thought about it and nodded.
"Then I'll go over and scout the way for Brother Chen."
"good."
Xiao Chen poured the wine and held it up.
"Come on, Brother Zhao, let's have another drink."
"Dry."
Zhao Ritian clinked his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Brother Chen, I will refine the storage device you need in five days at most."
"Sorry to bother you, Brother Zhao."
"Haha, we are close friends, there's no need to be so polite."
"Being able to meet Brother Zhao is the biggest gain of my trip to Sifang City."
"Enough talk, let's do it."
"It's all in the wine."
“…”
Xiao Chen and Zhao Ritian drank cup after cup, enjoying themselves very much.
"???"
Wang Pingbei next to me really wanted to ask, have you forgotten me?
The drinking lasted until noon.
Xiao Chen was fine, he didn't seem drunk, but Zhao Ritian... was at least a little drunk.
"Brother Zhao, shall we stop here today?"
Xiao Chen looked at Zhao Ritian and said.
"I have some things to do this afternoon, so you should go back and refine the magic weapon... Don't you still need to improve your 'respectful chair'?"
"Right, right...that's all for now, and we'll see you at the auction tomorrow."
Zhao Ritian thought of his "gong chair" and nodded repeatedly.
"When the time comes, I'll send you a message."
"Haha, okay."
Xiao Chen smiled.
Afterwards, the three of them left the restaurant and went their separate ways.
"Beizi..."
Xiao Chen looked at Zhao Ritian's receding back and turned to look at Wang Pingbei.
"You remember me at last? I thought you had forgotten me."
Wang Pingbei complained.
"Haha, can I forget you?"
Xiao Chen chuckled and patted Wang Pingbei on the shoulder.
"Let's go to the auction house."
"Huh? Why are you going to the auction house?"
Wang Pingbei was stunned and quickly followed.
"Send some more items over. We'll need money tomorrow."
Xiao Chen replied.
"Not to mention anything else, the storage device alone would require several thousand spirit stones."
"Brother Chen, can that storage device really help you build your divine foundation?"
Wang Pingbei thought of something and lowered his voice.
"It can increase the success rate."
Xiao Chen said slowly.
"It's worth paying any price to increase the success rate... that's a divine foundation-building skill."
Wang Pingbei's heart skipped a beat and he said hurriedly.
“For many years, there hasn’t been a Divine-grade Foundation Establishment in Tianwai Tian… As long as you have a Divine-grade Foundation Establishment, you will not only be an unrivaled genius in the ancient martial arts world, but you may also be invincible in Tianwai Tian.”
"Where is Qing Yunzi?"
Xiao Chen looked at Wang Pingbei and asked.
"Qing Yunzi...if he doesn't build a divine foundation, it's only a matter of time before you surpass him."
Wang Pingbei thought about it and said seriously.
"hehe."
Xiao Chen smiled and said nothing more.
"Brother Chen, are you sure?"
Wang Pingbei couldn't help but ask.
"All five elements are gathered together. What do you think? It will definitely work."
Xiao Chen said calmly.
"Yeah... Brother Chen will definitely succeed."
Wang Pingbei said hurriedly.
"From your perspective, you probably don't want me to succeed, right?"
Xiao Chen asked with a smile.
"How is that possible, Brother Chen? I am following you now, and I am no longer the prodigy of Qingyun Tower."
Wang Pingbei shook his head.
"I hope you can succeed, and I hope you become stronger and stronger..."
"Hahaha, you've finally made your position clear?"
Xiao Chen laughed.
"By the way, can you tell Zhao Ritian's identity?"
"I can't tell, but it's definitely not an ordinary family..."
Wang Pingbei curled his lips.
"How can there be such an ordinary family?"
"Yes, not only does he have a talent for refining weapons, but he also has a strong talent for cultivation. Ordinary people cannot cultivate such a monster."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"This guy... must have a great background."
"Zhao..."
Wang Pingbei's eyes flashed.
"Brother Chen, the current mayor of Sifang City is surnamed Zhao. Do you think it will happen..."
Although Wang Pingbei didn't finish his words, Xiao Chen still understood what he said.
"It's possible."
"That's not right. I haven't heard that City Lord Zhao has such a son..."
Wang Pingbei frowned again.
"What about the grandson?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"Ah? Not really. City Lord Zhao is only in his 50s or 60s. It's not like he has a grandson this old."
Wang Pingbei shook his head.
"If he's not a son, then he's not a grandson either... maybe a nephew or something?"
Xiao Chen pondered for a moment and shook his head.
"Forget it, don't think about it, let's go."
"Uh-huh."
Wang Pingbei no longer thought about it. No matter what Zhao Ritian’s identity was, as long as he was in Sifang City, he would know it sooner or later.
Soon, the two arrived at the Longteng Chamber of Commerce.
When Manager Chen heard about it, he hurried over.
"Mr. Chen..."
"Manager Chen, I'll send some more items over."
After a few pleasantries, Xiao Chen smiled.
"Oh? I'll call someone over to identify it right away..."
Manager Chen was overjoyed, thinking that what Xiao Chen brought must be something unusual.
Xiao Chen took out some things, some of which made Manager Chen very excited.
He felt...stable!
From now on, he will have the final say in this auction house!
"Manager Chen, I have something to trouble you with."
Xiao Chen looked at Manager Chen and said.
"Mr. Chen, please speak."
Manager Chen hurriedly said, let alone one thing, he would agree even if it was ten.
"When you put these things out, mention my name."
Xiao Chen said slowly.
"Chen Xiao."
"Mention a name?"
Manager Chen was stunned. What kind of request was this?
In the past, when someone sent items for auction, they requested anonymity and not reveal their identity.
Why did you deliberately mention his name when you came to Xiao Chen?
"Haha, to be honest with you, Manager Chen, I came out of the mountain with some missions this time... One of them is to make a name for myself in Tianwaitian."
Xiao Chen was talking nonsense.
"I was thinking about using this auction to make myself famous... Even though it won't have much effect, I still have to give it a try."
"Oh? I see."
Manager Chen suddenly realized.
"Okay, leave this matter to me... I will make sure that everyone who comes to the auction knows your name, Master Chen."
"Haha, thank you very much, Manager Chen."
Xiao Chen smiled and cupped his hands.
"Mr. Chen, you're too polite..."
Manager Chen also hurriedly bowed.
"Mr. Chen, I have a suggestion. If you want to become famous, you can participate in the auction more often tomorrow..."
"Yeah, that's what I thought."
Xiao Chen nodded. He planned to use this auction to let as many people as possible know about Chen Xiao.
Although it may not work and cannot help finding Xiao Sheng, it is the safest method!
