Chapter 5322 Waiting



After agreeing on the dinner time, Xiao Chen left the City Lord's Mansion.

"Brother Chen, where are we going?"

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Wang Pingbei was obviously relieved.

He was under too much pressure there.

He was afraid of any mistakes, especially Xiao Chen's "identity". Once it was exposed, it would definitely be a life-and-death crisis.

"Just take a stroll."

Xiao Chen said casually.

"Ah? Just strolling around?"

Wang Pingbei was stunned for a moment.

"No purpose?"

"No."

Xiao Chen shook his head. Actually, he had a purpose, but he couldn't tell Wang Pingbei.

If Xiao Sheng comes, it would definitely not be convenient to meet him at the City Lord's Mansion.

Therefore, he did not stay in the City Lord's Mansion for long, but just wandered around to give Xiao Sheng a chance to meet him.

If he still doesn't come to see him, then it means he hasn't come yet, so he can only leave first.

"Brother Chen, why do I feel like... everything has changed after one night?"

Wang Pingbei hesitated and asked.

"What happened this evening?"

"Are you talking about Gongsun Zhen?"

Xiao Chen smiled.

"Not only Gongsun Zhen, but also the way Zhao Cangqiong and Lu Hongyun look at you... In short, it's different from before."

Wang Pingbei is not a fool, and a fool cannot be the prodigy of Qingyun Tower.

"hehe."

Xiao Chen's smile became even more intense. If Wang Pingbei could notice something strange, he could naturally notice it as well.

The fact that Zhao Cangqiong could produce the replica animal skin must be related to what happened last night.

If it weren't for the head of Great Venerable Fierce Snake, Zhao Cangqiong might not have taken it out.

One is to repay the favor of his "senior brother", and the other is to make friends with him!

Xiao Chen had no aversion to these things... In the early stages of human interaction, isn't it all about interests?

Li Xiunian and Xu Chao are the same.

In the words of the mother industry, that is investing in personal connections.

Zhao Cangqiong admired him and helped him before, but after last night, it reached a new level.

"Brother Chen, what's going on?"

Wang Pingbei asked hurriedly.

"It's very simple..."

Xiao Chen did not hide it from Wang Pingbei and explained it briefly.

"Ah, so that's what happened. I was wondering why the head of the Great Venerable Fierce Snake appeared in the City Lord's Mansion."

Wang Pingbei suddenly realized.

He knew very well who had killed the Great Venerable Fierce Snake.

So when he saw the head of Great Venerable Fierce Snake, he wondered if something had happened.

"I borrowed the identity of my 'senior brother' and wrote the letter... They all thought that I really had such a powerful senior brother."

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but want to laugh.

"No wonder Gongsun Zhen pretended not to see you. He was scared."

Wang Pingbei also laughed.

This 'Senior Brother' was just Xiao Chen's nonsense.

The first time I did that was at an auction.

Unexpectedly, this time, Xiao Chen used his head to make his non-existent senior brother more real.

Zhao Cangqiong and the others must have believed it.

"That's not right, Brother Chen, weren't you with Duan Qingxue last night?"

After Wang Pingbei finished laughing, he thought of something and asked.

"Well, that won't delay my trip to the City Lord's Mansion."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Brother Chen is awesome."

Wang Pingbei gave a thumbs up with a look of admiration.

"Just because you are in a place of comfort, yet you can resist temptation and go do serious work... I admire you! This is absolutely impossible for ordinary people. Who can resist temptation?"

"Stop the flattery."

Xiao Chen was speechless. How the hell could this be filmed?

"No, it's true. Duan Qingxue is one of the top ten famous actresses. Who would be willing to leave on such a wonderful night?"

Wang Pingbei said with a smile.

"hehe."

Xiao Chen thought about the romance of last night and felt a little nostalgic.

Duan Qingxue is not only good at playing the piano!

I can also play other musical instruments!

The two of them were strolling around Sifang City while chatting nonsense.

Xiao Chen was quite relaxed at this moment.

It can be said that this was the most relaxing moment for him since he came to Sifang City and began to become famous.

He was worried before that others might plot against him, especially Gongsun Zhen... Now, who would dare?

Gongsun Zhen probably doesn't dare to do that.

At least in Sifang City, no one dared to deal with him openly anymore.

"Brother Chen, are we really alright? Why do I feel like you're looking for something?"

At noon, Wang Pingbei couldn't help but ask.

"No, let's go find a place to eat and then go back to the inn."

Xiao Chen shook his head, feeling a little disappointed.

"oh oh."

Wang Pingbei didn't dare to ask any more questions and followed him.

After finishing their meal, they returned to the inn.

"Mr. Chen, you're back."

The innkeeper saw Xiao Chen coming in and asked respectfully.

"Well, Manager Liu, did anyone come to see me this morning?"

Xiao Chen asked.

"No."

The innkeeper shook his head.

"Oh, if anyone wants to see me this afternoon, please let me know."

Xiao Chen said again.

"Please don't worry."

The innkeeper nodded quickly.

"Thank you very much."

Xiao Chen bowed and went upstairs.

He didn't change the inn because he wanted to have a fixed place so that it would be convenient for Xiao Sheng to find him if he came.

Now, all the practitioners in Sifang City know that he lives here, and Xiao Sheng can find out by just asking around.

Wang Pingbei followed behind, wondering, is Xiao Chen looking for someone? Or waiting for someone?

He came to Tianwaitian, could there be other things?

After returning to the room, Xiao Chen entered the bone ring, took out the one given by Zhao Cangqiong, and then found the one given by Li Xiunian and compared them.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust anyone, but he wants to see if there is anything missing.

"Two... two favors, but I only need one."

Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly. After comparing, he confirmed that there was no difference.

"#..."

The spiritual root of heaven and earth came up, threw the animal skin aside, shrank into Xiao Chen's arms, and yelled.

"Is this ignoring you, little guy?"

Xiao Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hugged it tightly.

"Do you think he will come to see me?"

"@#..."

After staying in the bone ring for a while, Xiao Chen stepped out and began to cultivate his mind.

"If Gongsun Zhen comes to kill me again, Sister Chili will come again."

Xiao Chen muttered that his spiritual cultivation speed was too slow.

Although there were risks before, the rewards were really huge.

An afternoon passed quickly.

No one ever came to look for me.

"well……"

Xiao Chen sighed and shook his head.

"It's okay if he didn't come to see me, as long as he's alright..."

He suppressed his disappointment, called Wang Pingbei, and went to the City Lord's Mansion.

When he got here, he found Xu Chao was there too.

"Brother Chen."

Xu Chao smiled when he saw Xiao Chen.

"Haha, Brother Xu."

Xiao Chen's heart moved and he shouted quite closely.

Since Xu Chao doesn't mind, then he cares even less.

However, the expressions of Zhao Cangqiong and Lu Hongyun changed slightly. The relationship between these two people... is so good?

"Chen Xiao, I am a few years older than you..."

Lu Hongyun thought about it and said slowly.

"Um?"

Xiao Chen looked at Lu Hongyun, what does that mean?

"How about I call you Brother Chen too?"

Lu Hongyun continued.

"ah?"

Xiao Chen was surprised. Was this an attempt to get closer?

"no!"

Before Xiao Chen could agree, Lu Wudi shouted first.

"Why?"

Lu Hongyun looked at Lu Wudi.

"You two call each other brothers, so what should I say to Chen Xiao? What should I call him?"

Lu Wudi said.

"You guys have your own way. Besides, we are peers. I'm not asking you to call him uncle."

Lu Hongyun said, pointing at Zhao Yuanji.

"He didn't call Chen Xiao 'Grandpa' either."

“…”

Zhao Yuanji's face turned dark. Can you guys chat without me?

"Yeah, that's right. I was wrong. I thought I had to call him uncle."

Lu Wudi had no objection.

“…”

Everyone was speechless.

"Chen Xiao, no, Brother Chen, what do you think?"

Lu Hongyun looked at Xiao Chen and said.

"However, we can become sworn brothers."

"Lu Hongyun, are you getting more shameless as you get older?"

Zhao Cangqiong couldn't help but say.

"You can even say this?"

"I think you think so too. Tell me, do you also want to become sworn brothers with Chen Xiao?"

Lu Hongyun looked at Zhao Cangqiong and said.

"no!"

The one who opposed this time was Zhao Yuanji.

It's fine if Xiao Chen and Zhao Ritian are friends, but he doesn't even need to call him 'Grandpa'.

But if you become sworn brothers with his grandfather, then you really have to call him 'Grandpa'.

"Well, forget about being sworn brothers. I will remember all the kindness you have shown me... It's just a title. We have a long way to go."

Xiao Chen coughed dryly. He didn't want to become sworn brothers in Tianwaitian.

What if in the future... the brothers become enemies because of their respective positions?

He didn't want to see that scene.

After Lu Hongyun said this, he didn't say anything else.

He was just talking casually, there was no way he was really sworn brothers.

"It's a pity that President Li left, otherwise we would have invited him to join us."

Zhao Cangqiong invited everyone to have tea and said.

"Haha, it's a good thing that Brother Li got promoted."

Xiao Chen smiled.

“…”

Zhao Cangqiong and Lu Hongyun looked at Xiao Chen. Is he so familiar with Li Xiunian as well?

My goodness, he has only been in Sifang City for a short time.

Are you all so familiar with each other?

"Brother Chen, are you leaving early tomorrow morning?"

Xu Chao looked at Xiao Chen and asked.

He heard about what happened last night.

Although he never got any news about Senior Brother Chen Xiao, he felt that... since he was so strong, it was normal that he was not discovered by the Tianji Pavilion.

No matter what, in his eyes, Chen Xiao's importance has increased again.

"Um."

Xiao Chen nodded. He didn't want to meet the Grand Elder of Qingyun Tower in case something went wrong.

"Then I'll take you there tomorrow."

Xu Chaodao.

"Haha, Brother Xu is too polite. It's not like we won't meet again."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"Maybe it won't be long before I return to Sifang City."

"Haha, give me a ride."

Xu Chao laughed.

"Nothing much."

"Um."

Xiao Chen no longer refused.

After drinking tea and chatting for a while, they went to the dinner.

"Brother Chen, what are you going to do after the dinner?"

Zhao Yuanji asked in a low voice.

"Want to go to the Wenqing Tower?"

"No."

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"Why are you thinking about going to the Love Questioning House? Don't you have any other pursuits?"

"We are leaving right now. How can we have such conditions after we leave?"

"You don't understand this, do you? It's very big out there, and there are... lots of women."

Xiao Chen patted Zhao Yuanji on the shoulder and said seriously.

“Yeah… that’s right.”

Zhao Yuanji nodded.

"Brother Chen can resist the urge to go find Miss Qingxue, so I won't go either."

"You may have misunderstood. She said she would come to the inn to see me tonight."

Xiao Chen said calmly.
