28: Still unrelated!
Liu Ruyan was stunned when Chen Xian asked her this.
Right, what did it have to do with her?
Hadn't she always wanted to get rid of this follower, Chen Xian?
Why did she lose control of her emotions seeing him being intimate with another girl?
At that moment...
Wu Jun hurriedly followed from behind.
The moment he saw Chen Xian, his expression turned gloomy.
"Ruyan, is this your friend?"
"Unrelated!"
Chen Xian said decisively.
Wu Jun was still a bit surprised to hear this.
Because even without her status as a commander, Liu Ruyan was stunningly beautiful, enough to make any man have delusions.
But he didn't expect this man to reject her so decisively.
He could only say that the man knew how to adapt to the situation!
"You, you actually said we are unrelated?"
Liu Ruyan felt her composure break again when she heard this.
In the Secret Realm, there was a woman by this man's side; she thought it was nothing at first.
But the scene of the two of them standing together...
...lingered in her mind even now.
Now, there was yet another woman by his side.
And he still cut ties with her!
This made Liu Ruyan feel a surge of nameless anger.
"We are indeed unrelated!"
Chen Xian said with a smile, "Lord Wu, we're going to continue eating, please suit yourselves!"
Wu Jun quickly pulled Liu Ruyan's arm.
"Ruyan, our private room is here."
"If outsiders see you making a scene over an insignificant person, it might harm your future!"
Wu Jun's words didn't fully wake her up.
But she regained a bit of her logic.
There were many people on the second floor; it would be embarrassing to cause a scene in public.
Especially since the Demonic Cultivators were the priority right now.
Solve the Demonic Cultivator issue first.
Then, she would immediately have a serious talk with Chen Xian!
What was so good about those women outside!
She had to help him choose; after all, she had received a great favor from the Chen Family before.
She had an obligation to help Chen Xian.
Yes, that was it.
While eating, Liu Ruyan was distracted by these thoughts.
As for Chen Xian, under Zhou Duoer's service, he had already eaten until his belly was round.
"Alright, you can eat too!"
Although what was on the table were leftovers, Chen Xian had spent two hundred Spirit Stones on them. According to Chen Xian's comparison of the prices here...
One Spirit Stone was roughly equal to one RMB.
One hundred was ten thousand.
Two hundred was a twenty thousand yuan meal.
Even leftovers were thousands of times better than what Zhou Duoer usually ate.
She immediately began to wolf down the food.
Half an hour later.
Chen Xian looked at Zhou Duoer with a smile.
"Full?"
Zhou Duoer nodded repeatedly.
"Let's go!"
One adult, one child, plus Big Yellow, they walked out of Zuixian Tower in a grand manner.
Chen Xian headed straight for the best tailor shop in Jubei City.
"Someone, make her a few sets of clothes!"
Facing Zhou Duoer's confused look...
Chen Xian crossed his arms and said with a sneer, "What are you looking at? You're embarrassing me on the street in those rags. Get some clothes made so you don't make a fool of yourself outside!"
Zhou Duoer was pulled away to get fitted.
Chen Xian threw a few Spirit Stones to Big Yellow.
Big Yellow deftly ate the Spirit Stones and barked happily.
But just then...
Chen Xian saw a group of people approaching in the distance.
He immediately kicked Big Yellow.
"Quick, hide!"
Big Yellow's eyes rolled.
He shook his fur.
In an instant, the Big Yellow dog turned into a big black dog.
Sniffing around on the ground, he looked just like a common street dog.
At that moment, Ye Wentian, walking in the crowd, glanced at Big Yellow.
Hiss!
He felt the dog looked familiar.
But it wasn't the dog that had snatched his sword.
At the thought of his azure luan sword...
Ye Wentian's heart ached with immense pain.
Once he found that damned dog, he would certainly tear it into ten thousand pieces... Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
Li Yu looked at the man sitting in front of her and smiled, "I didn't expect you to come! What a rare guest!"
"Little sister, are you really going to be with that shady person?"
"How is he shady? He's the Heir of the Marquis of Jubei!"
The man snorted coldly.
"He's even worse than a shady person!"
"At least this way, the family won't force me to marry. As for you, I doubt you're here for my sake, right?"
"Demonic Cultivators have come to Jubei City. It probably won't be peaceful for a while, so you should return home as soon as possible!"
Li Yu shook her head.
"If I go back, he won't be at ease, and neither will you! So, I'll just stay here and be a small shop owner in peace!"
"Tsk tsk, the behind-the-scenes boss of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion is a 'small shop owner'?"
The man said coldly, "Alright, stop making excuses. Tomorrow, a Demon Extermination Assembly between the North Continent and Southern Continent will be held in the city!"
Hearing this, Li Yu's expression turned cold.
"Are we really going to take action against the Demonic Cultivators?"
"Hmph, they've slaughtered so many of our people. If we don't take a stand, won't we be looked down upon?"
"Fine, remember to attend tomorrow at noon. The person arranged for your marriage alliance will also be there."
After saying that,
he stood up and left.
He didn't give Li Yu any room to argue.
Li Yu calmly clapped her hands.
A dark figure stood respectfully behind Li Yu.
"Master..."
"Go see where my 'nominal' fiancé is!"
"Yes!"
Pill Refining Pavilion.
Chen Xian and Zhou Duoer stood in the crowd, watching Lin Xiangzhong refining Medicinal Pills on the high platform.
"Alchemist Lin is a Rank Six Alchemist! To see him refine Medicinal Pills with my own eyes today is truly the luck of three lifetimes!"
"Exactly, especially the foundation establishment pill. It's crucial for many Cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining!"
Some ninth-level Qi Refining Cultivators were now eager to try.
Of course, they didn't want to snatch it.
What a joke.
Causing trouble at the Pill Refining Pavilion wouldn't just offend them, but all Cultivators who rely on them.
It was simply playing with fire.
They were eager...
...to be the first to request the pill later.
After all, the foundation establishment pill was the most in-demand Medicinal Pill in the Cultivation World.
Chen Xian watched quietly from the side, without any of that desire.
Even if he could afford it, he wouldn't buy it.
He was waiting to pick up a bargain.
From the snippets of intelligence provided by the System, he sensed something unusual.
How could an Alchemist leave a Medicinal Pill behind?
Especially one that could be picked up by a servant?
Was there some kind of unexpected turn of events here?
Just then, a muffled sound suddenly rang out!
