The Xia family has grown from a small business family to one of the five small families in Jiangnan Province. It is indeed a historic turning point. It is reasonable to hold a banquet to celebrate.
It's just that Xia Mingfeng doesn't know Xiao Chen's identity yet, so he wants to invite Xiao Chen through Fan Nanxing.
"I just have to go back to Lanning City, and I will definitely go there to support you!"
Fan Nanxing was surprised: "Mr. Xiao is really from Lanning City?"
"Well, I have some connection with the Xia family, but Xia Mingfeng doesn't know that I helped him."
"I see!"
"Okay, I'll see you at the Xia family celebration in two days."
Xiao Chen said, took out two pills and handed them to Fan Nanxing.
Fan Nanxing hesitated: "Sir, this is..."
"Ju Yuan Dan!"
"Ju Yuan Dan?"
Just hearing this name, Fan Nanxing's heart skipped a beat.
"That's right!" Xiao Chen said, "The third innate realm is called the true element realm, where the true energy is liquefied and the true essence is refined."
"You must have been in the late stage of Gang Jin for a long time. These two Yuan Gathering Pills are enough for you to break through to the True Yuan realm."
"Breakthrough to the True Element Realm?"
Fan Nanxing held the elixir in his hands, feeling very excited as if he had found a treasure.
Xiao Chen said before that he would give him something in return, but he didn't take it seriously.
But not everyone has the courage to reject the Juyuan Pill that can make Gang Jin break through to the True Yuan realm.
At least, he couldn't refuse!
"Thank you sir!"
Fan Nanxing is self-aware. Although he is known as the number one expert in Jiangnan Province, outsiders are actually nothing.
As for the first step in martial arts, it is just the beginning.
However, if he could break through to the third realm of Xiantian, he was confident that he could try his luck in a place where martial arts flourished.
"You deserve this!"
Xiao Chen finally handed over some things before leaving the villa and the provincial capital.
After Xiao Chen left, Fan Nanxing immediately called Xia Mingfeng.
"Xia Mingfeng, sir, I have promised to be there that day, so be prepared!"
"Okay, okay, thank you, President Fan!"
Xia Mingfeng was very excited.
Even Fan Nanxing must respect him. The importance of a big shot who can make major families obey their orders with just one word has far surpassed that of the Jiang family.
If the Xia family can please him, let alone the five small families, it is possible for them to go further.
…
Xiao Chen didn't have anyone to see him off and returned to Lanning City alone. It was already evening when he arrived.
He faced the evening breeze and strolled across the bridge, enjoying the peaceful and pleasant scenery.
There are many pedestrians on the bridge, mostly men and women, walking in pairs or groups at night, talking and laughing.
At this time, a group of men and women came towards Xiao Chen, who stopped in his tracks.
“I didn’t expect that Lanning City still has such scenery, it’s really wonderful!”
"Indeed, if you are used to the bustle and bustle of the provincial capital, a change of scenery once in a while will be a unique experience!"
"In my opinion, the scenery is not important, the important thing is to be accompanied by beautiful people!"
"Brother Ping, you openly teased Miss Xia, aren't you afraid that Shaoqiu will be angry?"
"I'm just complimenting you. I don't mean to tease you. Besides, Miss Xia and Shaoqiu are both generous people and won't care!"
Jiang Shaoqiu smiled and said, "We are all friends, so there is no need to be so reserved."
"I'm just saying, it's still Shao Qiu Ming's affairs!"
"Okay, although the scenery here is nice, it's not good to hang around here all the time. Why not find a place to have fun?"
"Well, go to a bar or KTV!"
"We are not familiar with Lanning City, let Miss Xia take us there!"
Everyone looked at Xia Shiyun.
Xia Shiyun has always been preoccupied and seems to be very unsociable.
It was only now that everyone was looking at her that she reacted slightly.
"There is a royal KTV nearby, why not..."
Before she finished speaking, Xia Shiyun suddenly froze and stared blankly at the young man standing not far away.
"Xiao Chen?"
Convinced that she had read it correctly, Xia Shiyun happily ran up.
"Xiao Chen, it's really you. When did you come back?"
Xiao Chen replied calmly: "I just came back and haven't arrived home yet!"
"Miss Xia, who is he?"
A group of young people followed, their tone was somewhat intriguing.
"He is my friend!" Xia Shiyun said.
"Oh, let's go and play together?" someone invited.
"I'm not free, you go and play!"
Xiao Chen shook his head and walked away from them.
"Ms. Xia, your friend is very rude, isn't he?" a young man said angrily.
"That's right, how can Miss Xia make friends with such a person?"
"Cut off contact with him as soon as possible. He can easily offend others. That means we have a good temper and don't care about him."
Xia Shiyun, however, had no intention of listening to their chatter. Instead, she was very anxious.
"Everyone, it's late today. I'm feeling a little uncomfortable, so I'm going back first. You guys can take your time and play!"
After saying that, Xia Shiyun quickly chased Xiao Chen.
"what is this?"
The faces of several young people were very ugly.
Xia Shiyun is tantamount to slapping them in the face. With so many people together, can't they beat that kid?
"Shaoqiu, can you bear this?"
"Yes, if my woman dares to chase another man, I will beat her to death!"
"I'll beat that man to death as well!"
"Stop talking!" the young man known as "Brother Ping" shouted in a low voice.
Jiang Shaoqiu also flashed a hint of viciousness in his eyes.
In fact, he only met Xia Shiyun at the last banquet, so it didn't take long.
But Xia Shiyun was one-of-a-kind in appearance and temperament, which made him deeply fond of her.
In addition, his father told him that the Jiang family was going to marry the Xia family, so he already regarded Xia Shiyun as his woman.
However, now, Xia Shiyun actually left herself and her friends and ran away after another man. Where did she leave him?
"That guy seems to have appeared at Shiyun's banquet before?"
Jiang Shaoqiu remembered that when he first arrived at Xia Shiyun's birthday party, a group of people surrounded Xia Shiyun and another young man.
It seems that the person I saw just now is him?
"Humph, I will let you accept the reality!"
Jiang Shaoqiu sneered in his heart.
He believed that Xia Shiyun was just an ignorant adolescent girl before she met him, and there was nothing wrong with her when she met an attractive boy.
But now that he has appeared, things will change.
Could it be that he, the dignified young man of the Jiang family, is not as charming as a poor student?
…
"Xiao Chen, wait for me!"
Xia Shiyun caught up with Xiao Chen, panting.
Xiao Chen asked as he walked: "Why are you chasing me?"
"I..." Xia Shiyun lowered her head and said, "Don't get me wrong, I have nothing to do with Jiang Shaoqiu."
"Actually, you don't need to explain to me!"
"It's necessary!" Xia Shiyun bit her lip stubbornly and said, "Because I care about what you think of me."
These light words were like a scoop of autumn water going straight into his soul, causing Xiao Chen to pause slightly.
"Actually, I don't want to go out with them, but my dad said that if the Xia family wants to truly form an alliance with the Jiang family, they must not neglect Jiang Shaoqiu."
"The Xia family became the fifth small family because of the Jiang family, and they will have to rely on the Jiang family to survive in the future, so..."
When Xiao Chen heard this, he sighed and said, "Perhaps it would be better for your Xia family not to become the fifth small family."
Helping the Xia family is a favor.
But now that I think about it, the Xia family is still too weak. Forcing him to take the position will only push him to the forefront.
Whether it is a person or a family, it is very dangerous when the strength cannot support his ambition.
But things have come to this, so we can only do this for the time being, taking it one step at a time.
Although Xia Mingfeng is a bit too powerful, he did help Xiao Yufei and the Xiao family a lot.
