142: Changes in friends

In less than a day,

Shen Xi and his group had already arrived at Zhu Feng City.

Although the distance between the two cities was far, with the current strength of Shen Xi and his group, traveling thousands of miles a day was not an issue, so reaching Zhu Feng City was naturally not a difficult task.

“Later, I’ll take you to meet my friends in Zhu Feng City; they should also be entering the Chasing Wind Secret Realm, and then we can help each other out.”

Shen Xi proactively suggested.

Chen Fang would definitely enter the Chasing Wind Secret Realm.

He was already a Genius, roughly the same age as Shen Xi, and now a Cadre, so he naturally had the qualifications to enter the Chasing Wind Secret Realm.

As for Ye Zirou, on the surface, she was a businesswoman, but through a few interactions, Shen Xi concluded that Ye Zirou’s identity was not simple.

With her strength and talent, she would definitely go to the Chasing Wind Secret Realm as well.

As for Li Chengfeng and the others… on one hand, their strength was far from sufficient, and even if they wanted to enter the Chasing Wind Secret Realm, they would only be cannon fodder, and they didn't have quotas.

On the other hand, the path they took was different from Shen Xi’s; they yearned for wealth, freedom, and safety, which Shen Xi had now given them.

Li Chengfeng and the others would likely be unwilling to participate in such a life-or-death situation.

However, for Chu He, Shen Xi could find a way to get him a quota.

Chu He was different from Li Chengfeng and the others.

Li Chengfeng and his group pursued a stable life, which they had now achieved.

But Chu He’s background was different; the first time Shen Xi met him, he could feel that he was a man with a story.

Chu He yearned to become stronger, and the Chasing Wind Secret Realm was an excellent opportunity to do so.

If possible, Shen Xi planned to bring Chu He along.

“A gathering among you young people, I, an old man, won’t get involved.”

Liu Piaoling laughed heartily and wisely left.

There were still four days until the Chasing Wind Secret Realm opened, and these four days should be used for the young people to get acquainted, so they could cooperate better in the Secret Realm.

With that, the group split up.

Shen Xi took Liu Yiyi and a few others to the Cadre’s mansion in Zhu Feng City.

The Cadre’s mansion was actually similar to the Senate in the Twenty-eighth City.

Shen Xi asked a passerby and quickly found out where Chen Fang worked.

“Brother Shen, I guessed you would be coming to Zhu Feng City these past two days, and sure enough, speak of the devil.”

Chen Fang opened his arms and came forward to greet him.

The two shared a bear hug.

This scene made Liu Yiyi a little confused.

She had never seen Shen Xi in this state.

Casual, free.

She had always thought Shen Xi was a cold-faced man.

But now she realized that he only seemed to be cold towards her.

Is there something wrong with this person?

However, I like it so much!

Liu Yiyi felt like she had unlocked something incredible.

Thinking of this, she quickly cursed herself under her breath.

“Is Ye Zirou in Zhu Feng City?”

Shen Xi inquired about the whereabouts of his other friends.

“She is! She just finished a big business deal not long ago and just returned. We originally discussed going to the Twenty-eighth City to find you, but since the Chasing Wind Secret Realm is about to open, we guessed you would come, so we waited for you here.”

“As for Li Chengfeng and the others, I also pulled some strings to arrange their families in the Inner City for greater safety. They went to the Demon Swamp Mining Area again these past two days.”

“Oh, and I also took the liberty of giving Chu He a quota to enter the Chasing Wind Secret Realm. I guessed you probably wanted to Cultivate him, and I happened to have an extra quota, so I arranged it.”

“His strength has improved a lot; he has already reached the Yuan Qi Transformation Realm, just one step away from breaking through to Acquired.”

Chen Fang briefly explained the situation of their old friends.

Shen Xi was not surprised by Chu He’s Breakthrough.

His talent was definitely not bad; he was only a slave before and could still reach the Yuanqi Realm, which was enough to explain everything.

Moreover, Chu He was a man of tenacious will; perhaps because he carried a deep-seated vendetta, he would stop at nothing to become stronger.

A person with talent and willpower would never achieve little.

“I understand. Let’s all gather tonight.”

“Oh, by the way, let me introduce you, this is Liu Yiyi…”

Shen Xi introduced the others.

The group nodded, indicating they had met.

As for Liu Yiyi, at this moment, only Ye Zirou’s name was in her mind.

Who was Ye Zirou?

What was her relationship with Shen Xi?

Why did Shen Xi inquire about Ye Zirou’s situation as soon as he arrived?

A strong sense of crisis surged in her heart… After Shen Xi’s introduction,

the group more or less understood each other’s situations.

They were even secretly amazed by each other’s strength.

Chen Fang was now at the Houtian Lesser Stage, and he had thought his Cultivate speed was fast enough.

But he didn’t expect Shen Xi’s speed to be even faster than his, breaking through from Great Accomplishment of Yuanqi all the way to the Houtian Huajin Realm.

Moreover, Liu Yiyi, Liu Linsheng, and Fatty’s strengths were not weak, especially Liu Yiyi, who was also at the Houtian Lesser Stage.

She was very strong!

In the Chasing Wind Secret Realm, she would definitely be a powerful partner.

This was the common thought of everyone.

And, she was trustworthy!

From their interactions, the personalities of the group were quite compatible; they were all loyal and righteous.

Furthermore, everyone trusted Shen Xi implicitly, believing that the friends he introduced would certainly not be bad.

Seeing this, Shen Xi nodded with satisfaction.

Introducing these friends in advance was for the current situation.

After all, the Chasing Wind Secret Realm was full of dangers, and since everyone had decided to form an Alliance, they needed at least a basic level of trust.

Trust could not be built overnight, but by getting to know each other in advance, they could have a little more trust.

“Time is almost up. Tonight, I’ll be the host to welcome you all. Everyone must give me this Face.”

Chen Fang checked the time and invited everyone to have a meal together.

As for Ye Zirou and Chu He, he had already sent people to invite them.

And so, the group walked towards the restaurant… At the same time,

Wu Su and Sun Wei had also arrived at Zhu Feng City.

Coincidentally, the two happened to see Shen Xi and his group heading towards the restaurant.

“Young Master Wu, look, Young Miss Liu Yiyi is over there!”

Sun Wei quickly spoke, not missing any opportunity to show off in front of Wu Su.

“I see her!”

Wu Su’s expression was exceptionally grim.

Liu Yiyi fled the Liu family to escape her engagement with him, and the result was that she was mixing with these commoners?

Wu Su felt that he had completely lost Face.

He had long regarded Liu Yiyi as his exclusive possession, his property, and now that Liu Yiyi was mixing with commoners, it was his reputation that was being tarnished.

Moreover, how was he inferior to these commoners?
