Behind He Mengshan, the middle-aged man who seemed to have never changed his posture placed the wine bottle next to him.

Beside him, there were already more than a dozen bottles of liquor piled up, and the strong smell of alcohol emanated from him.

"dad."

He Mengshan looked at her decadent father and felt a little embarrassed.

He Hongzhi suddenly smiled, and a touch of relief appeared on his unshaven face full of vicissitudes of life.

"Good job."

Hearing his father's words, He Mengshan was stunned for a moment, and then mist could not stop rising from his eyes.

As He Hongzhi's illegitimate daughter, she has always been out of place in the He family. At first, it was He Hongzhi who insisted on bringing her back to the family against all the opinions. However, after returning, due to the pain of losing his son, He Hongzhi has always been relatively cold towards her.

She knew her father's dilemma in the family, and she had always wanted to help him get out of the shadows, but with little success.

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she saw her father's smile.

Seeing He Mengshan's red eyes and his simple clothes that didn't look like a member of a noble family at all, He Hongzhi took out a bottle from his pocket and threw it to He Mengshan.

"Gone."

After He Hongzhi finished speaking, he turned around and left. He Mengshan took the bottle of light white drink, but it was a bottle of yogurt.

She felt a sense of sourness and looked at her father's back and muttered to herself.

"Dad, it turns out you remember everything."

It was her favorite drink as a child.

............................

The award ceremony has ended, the selection of original equipment will be held privately later, and the audience is already slowly leaving the venue.

In the main competition room, Chu Zhenbang stood up with a smile.

"Everyone, don't renege on your debt, especially shopkeeper Qian, it's not easy for you to lose once."

After Chu Zhenbang finished speaking, Duanmu Ci next to him also followed suit.

"Then I can be regarded as following Mr. Chu to gain glory."

The bet is not big, just some fine stones and soul stones.

For other awakened people, the value of four or five essence stones and soul stones worth tens of millions is already very high. But after all, those present here are all high-level powerhouses in Daxia, so it really doesn't mean anything.

The smiles that Chu Zhenbang and Duanmu gave were mainly because they finally deceived Qian Zheyuan.

Qian Zheyuan stopped turning his head at this time and looked a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, don't worry, we all pay attention to integrity when doing business, but Mr. Chu, how can you be sure that he can win?"

Qian Zheyuan is indeed very depressed.

This kind of bet, as he has all kinds of information, the possibility of losing is extremely small.

After all, he knew even if Xiao Chen defeated the mad genius of the Han family, but he still didn't think Xiao Chen would defeat Mu Qianxue.

Because judging from the Night Criminal Division missions Mu Qianxue completed in the past, she should have much more combat power than Xiao Chen.

Of course, Xiao Chen could release the third level awakening skill, which he didn't expect.

"I'm not sure either. If I knew there were people like Mu Qianxue in Nandu, I would definitely bet on Nandu."

Chu Zhenbang comforted him with a smile.

At this time, everyone couldn't help but recall the battle just now.

Lei Ming looked deeply at Xiao Chen in the audience.

"This kid is the only one I've ever seen in terms of talent for cultivation. If the military hadn't recruited him, I would definitely dig him out right now!"

Everyone couldn't help but nodded.

"Fortunately, he is from the military department, otherwise at his speed, many people would probably be targeting him."

Qian Zheyuan commented lightly.

This also aroused public recognition.

Before the third level, no matter how fast you practice, not many people will take it seriously, after all, your combat effectiveness is too weak.

But after being promoted to the fourth level of awakened people, they are actually the backbone of the awakened people in Daxia and can even command the defense force of a small city.

Nowadays, Xiao Chen is already one of the fifth-level awakened people with terrifying combat capabilities. If he were still a socially awakened person, many people would miss him.

"He must have been forced to stay in the Imperial City because of the saint's affairs, right?"

Lei Ming suddenly changed the subject, Qian Zheyuan nodded, but Chu Zhenbang and Duanmu Ci were stunned.

"Is this happening?"

Chu Zhenbang frowned.

Qian Zheyuan took over.

"Following my information, Xiao Chen was attacked by the saints. Although the military deliberately concealed it, the information about the saints was later made public and the level of confidentiality was not so high."

Chu Zhenbang nodded.

"Then it is indeed safest for him to stay in the Imperial City."

Although the Saint is powerful and elusive, it would be too naive to arrest people in the Imperial City.

The headquarters of the five major families are all in the Imperial Capital, which means that there are five ninth-level awakened people!

In addition, there are Daxia's high-level combat forces like Chu Zhenbang and others.

It is possible for the Saints to launch a suicide attack, but if they just arrest people and want to escape, then they cannot do it.

"However, with the innate combat power of Xiao Chen and Mu Qianxue, if they reach the fifth level peak, they might not be able to fight against the saints."

Lei Ming sighed with emotion, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Amy Qingshan Mercenary Group is a very outstanding team under their Hunter Guild. The death of the genius Mei Dong has always made him sad.

"Indeed, isn't the Saint known as the fifth level of peak combat power? I wonder who will be stronger when Xiao Chen meets the Saint after his deep awakening."

Others in the viewing room sighed, with curiosity in their eyes.

At this moment, Chu Zhenbang shook his head.

"I still hope there won't be such a day. The death of a genius like Xiao Chen is a loss to Daxia."

Everyone nodded.

"A group of peak level five guys have not been caught until now, which shows that they have a very developed intelligence network of their own."

"Let's leave this to the military department to investigate."

Chu Zhenbang looked at Qian Zheyuan and said.

"Shop Manager Qian, let's chat alone for a while. Others don't have to wait for me."

Lei Ming, Qian Zheyuan, Chu Zhenbang, and Duanmu Ci are all seventh-level divine might realm experts, but Chu Zhenbang is the eldest and the strongest, and everyone still gives him face when he speaks out.

After everyone left, Qian Zheyuan chuckled.

"Mr. Chu, do you want to buy some information? Directly use the bet to offset it?"

Chu Zhenbang snorted softly.

"Don't talk too much about business, let's talk about business. Your investigators outside Tianji Pavilion's walls, have you sensed anything unusual outside?"

Qian Zheyuan's heart moved and he did not answer immediately, but asked instead.

"Mr. Chu, have you discovered anything?"

Chu Zhenbang looked to the north and said slowly.

"I am in charge of the Imperial Capital War Academy. Although I am not considered a high-ranking official in Daxia, some troubles and disturbances occasionally come to my ears."

"I feel that the top management is preparing something...even the younger generations of the major families are getting nervous, as if it was a train that was moving slowly in the past few decades, and now...is accelerating."

Qian Zheyuan narrowed his eyes and stood side by side with him.
