60: Uninvited guest, the prince of Zhennan's solicitation

"Since that's the case, Zi Luo will await Young Master Xiao's good news."

Seeing Xiao Chen's confident expression, Zi Luo revealed a charming smile.

"Hahaha, Zi Luo, I heard you're coming to Tiandu City to host an auction."

"This Young Lord rushed over without stopping, but I didn't expect to still be a step behind you."

Just as Zi Luo finished speaking and Xiao Chen was about to reply.

Following a burst of laughter, several figures also barged into the private room.

These sudden uninvited guests caused Xiao Chen and the others to frown, their gazes fixed on the entrance of the room.

The Purple Cloud Merchant Guild is guarded by strict security. To be able to barge in while they were discussing important matters, it seems this group's identity is quite extraordinary!

As that thought crossed his mind, Xiao Chen also clearly saw the newcomers.

Leading them was a young man wearing luxurious golden python-patterned robes, followed by several other figures, two of whom he recognized.

It was precisely Nalan Shijie and the Grey-robed Old Man from yesterday when he went to the Murong Family to annul the engagement!

He didn't expect to run into them here; it truly is a small world for enemies.

"Murong Qingxue?!"

And Nalan Shijie, who had just walked in, also saw Xiao Chen and Murong Qingxue.

This caused his expression to freeze slightly, and then remembering yesterday's events, raging fury erupted in his eyes.

"Your Highness, the Fifth Young Lord, entering the merchant guild's VIP room without permission."

"Doing this... isn't it a bit overbearing and rude?!"

Seeing the brocade-robed man before her, Zi Luo frowned slightly and said in a somewhat cold tone.

This person was precisely the fifth son of Prince Zhennan of the Great Qian Dynasty, a martial arts genius with a Heaven Rank Mid-grade talent, who had cultivated to the Nine Levels of Revolving Core Realm at the age of twenty-four.

Named Yang Xiao.

He was also one of her fervent suitors, but his overbearing actions made her feel disgusted.

However, due to the other party being the Young Lord of Prince Zhennans Mansion, Zi Luo couldn't completely fall out with this guy and could only repeatedly tolerate some of his actions.

"Hahaha, this Young Lord was just too eager to see Zi Luo, so it's unavoidable that I was a bit abrupt in my haste."

Looking at the woman before him, who was a year younger than him but had the same cultivation level, Yang Xiao's gaze was intensely hot.

Possessing exquisite beauty and talent stronger than his.

Even her background was remarkable, and her own talent was stunning to the dynasty.

Such a perfect woman must become Yang Xiao's consort.

"Oh, who is this?"

After silently vowing to obtain Zi Luo, Yang Xiao's gaze shifted to Xiao Chen beside her.

This guy, so close to Zi Luo, could he also be a suitor?!

"Your Highness, the Young Lord, this person... is the one I mentioned to you earlier, and the one beside him is Murong Qingxue!"

Yang Xiao's words had just fallen when Nalan Shijie, standing to the side, couldn't wait to step forward and speak.

After speaking, he stared at Xiao Chen with great jealousy, his fists clenched tightly.

If it weren't for this person's appearance yesterday.

How could he have been humiliated when annulling the engagement at the Murong Family?

And how could Murong Qingxue have transformed from an anomaly unworthy of him into a woman he yearned for?

The humiliation he suffered yesterday was all thanks to this guy, Xiao Chen.

"What?!"

Upon hearing Nalan Shijie's words, Yang Xiao's expression couldn't help but change.

He stared intently at Xiao Chen, then burst into laughter and spoke.

"Hahaha, Xiao, this Young Lord was just planning to find you. I didn't expect to meet you here. It seems we are truly fated."

After his eyes flickered, Yang Xiao walked up to Xiao Chen and extended an invitation to him.

"I've heard about you..."

"You cultivated to the Spiritual Aperture Seventh Realm at just eighteen years old. Your martial arts talent is even more monstrous than this Young Lord's."

"You can even cure Murong Qingxue in just a short moment."

"With such miraculous medical methods, I'm afraid even Dan Wang Gu Qinghe would feel ashamed of himself."

As these words fell, Zi Luo beside him couldn't help but widen her eyes.

She looked at Xiao Chen with some disbelief and also glanced at Murong Qingxue beside him.

She actually knew a little about Murong Qingxue's matter.

She didn't expect that something even Gu Qinghe couldn't handle was casually resolved by Xiao Chen before her.

Even the other party's talent was extremely monstrous!

One must know that even with her Heaven Rank High-grade martial arts talent, she only reached the Spiritual Aperture Second Realm at eighteen.

And Xiao Chen could cultivate to the Spiritual Aperture Seventh Realm at eighteen. How monstrous must this talent be?!

She wanted to connect with the other party's mysterious Master through Xiao Chen, but she didn't expect Xiao Chen himself to be such a monstrous prodigy!

This move, making Xiao Chen an Honorary Elder of the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild, was absolutely the most brilliant decision she had ever made!

"Xiao, this Young Lord wants to invite you to join Prince Zhennans Mansion and become a follower by this Young Lord's side."

"When this Young Lord becomes the new Prince Zhennan in the future, you will be this Young Lord's capable left and right hand."

While Zi Luo was feeling shocked, Yang Xiao spoke with a forceful tone.

These two sentences seemed like an invitation, but in essence, they were somewhat irrefutable.

After all, he was the Young Lord of Prince Zhennans Mansion. To actively invite someone like this was a great honor for the other party!

"Your Highness, the Fifth Young Lord, Young Master Xiao is an Honorary Elder of the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild. Isn't it perhaps inappropriate for you to poach him in front of me?"

As Xiao Chen's brows slightly furrowed upon hearing this, Zi Luo beside him couldn't help but speak up.

This Yang Xiao, in order to raise his status in Prince Zhennan's heart.

Truly went to great lengths.

Not only did he set his sights on her, but now he even wants to win over Young Master Xiao?

"What?!"

"He is an Honorary Elder of the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild?!"

Hearing Zi Luo's two sentences, Yang Xiao's pupils contracted violently.

Even Nalan Shijie and the Grey-robed Old Man beside them showed expressions of disbelief.

Honorary Elders of the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild.

They are all Heavenly Human Realm experts, or Heaven Rank alchemists and artifact refiners, and of course, rare formation masters.

These people are all old fellows who have lived for hundreds, or even several hundred years.

And Xiao Chen, at just eighteen, could reach this level.

It made him feel utterly incredulous.

"Hahaha, Xiao, at such a young age, you can become an Honorary Elder of the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild. It seems Zi Luo values you highly."

Seeing that Zi Luo seemed to care about Xiao Chen, a cold, sinister glint flashed in Yang Xiao's eyes, and then he continued his invitation with a forced smile.

"But it doesn't matter..."

"This Young Lord has a close relationship with Zi Luo, and Prince Zhennans Mansion and the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild are like siblings. In a sense, we are also one family."

"Since Xiao holds the position of Elder at the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild, why not also serve at our Prince Zhennans Mansion at the same time?"

"This way, we can both benefit. What do you think, Xiao?"

As his words fell, the private room became deathly silent.

Nalan Shijie stared at Xiao Chen with a face full of jealousy, his molars almost ground to dust at this moment.

At the same age of eighteen.

Not only did Xiao Chen become an Honorary Elder of the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild, but his status was also equivalent to some Heavenly Human Realm experts.

Even the Young Lord of Prince Zhennans Mansion didn't hesitate to lower his dignity to win over the other party in this manner.

This was enough to make him explode with jealousy.

It truly is true that comparing oneself to others can make one die of anger!
