203: Wash your hair?

When Luo Chen heard Ying Xi’s words, a hint of doubt and anger arose in his heart. Qin Mengyue had not told him that her father was the father of the Great Qin Train Conductor.

She had actually hidden this from him and even revealed that he had obtained a golden core.

Could she be in league with Ying Xi? And what about Ning Kexin, who was next to him?

Luo Chen quickly turned to look at Ning Kexin, and seeing her equally shocked expression, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Ning Kexin was also in league with Ying Xi, then he would most likely be trapped here today.

However, he wasn't worried about his life. Since the other party wanted to obtain physical reconstruction through him, they wouldn't harm his life.

Moreover, he wasn't unprepared. He touched the other coin in his palm; as long as there was danger, Li Shishi would immediately teleport over and take him away.

After this, he decided he would never go to anyone else's Train again.

“It seems I’ve been too peaceful lately, getting a bit carried away!”

However, this matter concerned the creation of mechas, and he had to help Jiang Miaoxuan awaken as soon as possible, otherwise, he might miss out again if he encountered another spark in the future.

Ning Kexin grabbed Luo Chen's hand, looking at him anxiously. If Ying Xi intended to make a move, she would immediately take him away.

Luo Chen patted her hand, giving her a reassuring look, then turned to Ying Xi, patting his chest boldly and smiling, “Since you are my father-in-law, if I don’t agree, wouldn’t I, your son-in-law, be impolite? Since we are all family, Big Brother’s business is my business. I agree!”

Hearing the expected promise, Ying Qian immediately thanked Luo Chen earnestly and loudly, “Then thank you, Brother-in-law! As long as my mother is successfully revived, I, Big Brother, will heavily repay you.”

“We are all family; we should help each other,” Ying Xi said with a slight smile, picking up his teacup. “To thank Xiao Chen for his help, Xiao Qian, let’s toast him with tea instead of wine.”

Ying Qian quickly raised the teacup in front of him upon hearing this.

Luo Chen looked at the teacup in front of him, increasingly suspecting that something was mixed in it. Otherwise, why would this old man keep wanting him to drink it?

Since you want me to drink, I simply won't.

He picked up the teacup, poured the tea backward, looked left and right, and asked with an embarrassed expression, “Is there any plain boiled water? Pour me some. I’m used to being poor; I can’t get used to such high-grade tea. I’m more accustomed to drinking plain boiled water.”

Ying Xi's face flashed with embarrassment and gloom as he held the teacup, but since the core matter still required Luo Chen, and Luo Chen had already agreed, he couldn't completely lose face.

He laughed heartily, put down the teacup, and likewise poured the tea behind him: “Since Xiao Chen doesn't like tea, then forget it.”

Then he raised his hand, glanced at the personal light screen on his wrist, and continued, “It’s getting late now. Xiao Chen, why don’t you go and try to brush a core? I’ve already prepared the woman. By the time you’re done, Miss Jiang should have completed her awakening.”

Ying Qian also said with a smile, “Hmm! Xiao Chen can go and try. Let me, Big Brother, witness it too. I’ve heard about it before, but I didn’t dare to believe it!”

After speaking, as if worried Luo Chen would be embarrassed, he added with a mischievous smile, “We’re all men; we understand. Don’t be shy; just consider it Big Brother treating you to a foot wash and massage.”

“Uh… then I respectfully accept!” Luo Chen knew he couldn't refuse this time. This old man was using Jiang Miaoxuan as leverage, clearly threatening him.

However, a foot wash wasn't exactly a loss for him. But even so, he didn't want this old man to easily get his way. He spread his hands and said with a serious expression, “I’m a very picky person. I only like pretty ones. Ugly ones don’t do anything for me.”

Ying Xi’s face darkened, but he still nodded: “Of course, I wouldn’t bring out an ugly one.”

He shouted to Liao Hong at the door, “Liao Hong, go bring Qingqiu over.”

Liao Hong obeyed, and soon, brought in a woman dressed in a Warring States-era robe.

The woman was tall, with long black hair casually draped behind her. Her expression was cool and aloof, her features exquisite, and she exuded a classical, elegant sense of destiny that made one long to cherish her.

“Xue Qingqiu greets everyone,” Xue Qingqiu said, glancing at the four people seated.

Luo Chen looked at Xue Qingqiu, his eyes lighting up, and his previous dissatisfaction instantly diminished. Such a beauty was pleasing to the eye with just one glance; there should be more of them.

“Liao Hong, you may withdraw!” Ying Xi waved his hand at Liao Hong, then smiled and beckoned to Xue Qingqiu, “Qingqiu, come here. Now is your time to contribute to the Great Qin. This is Luo Chen; take him to get a head wash.”

Liao Hong withdrew, and Xue Qingqiu nodded, coming to Luo Chen’s side, her face flushed, and extended her hand in invitation, “Young Master Luo, please follow Qingqiu.”

Luo Chen smiled slightly, grasping Xue Qingqiu’s slender, scallion-like fingers and rising from the ground.

The two ignored the three people seated and walked directly out of the house.

Luo Chen was eager to get away from those two scoundrels, and now that he had the chance, he just wanted to quicken his pace.

“Hey, Luo Chen, where are you going to do things? What about me?” Ning Kexin looked at Luo Chen’s retreating back and shouted hurriedly.

“Come on! Let’s go together. Why are you still sitting there?” Luo Chen turned his head, looking speechlessly at Ning Kexin, who was still waiting in place.

Xue Qingqiu, who was walking out, nearly stumbled and fell when she heard Luo Chen’s words. Her face was crimson; she looked back at Ning Kexin, then quickly pulled Luo Chen and ran out.

Ning Kexin’s jaw dropped. Together? Was it what she was thinking? That was playing too wild.

However, seeing Luo Chen quicken his pace, she didn’t bother to dwell on it and quickly ran to follow him.
