Turn Waste Into Treasure: Pick Up Medusa In Suspended Animation At The Beginning
Chapter 61 A Hypocrite With A Hidden Knife In His Smile...
"Sorry, I refuse..."
As everyone's gaze fell on Xiao Chen, anticipating his response.
Without hesitation, Xiao Chen spoke up and refused.
Becoming an honorary elder of the Purple Cloud Trading Association would not restrict his freedom and would allow him to collect resources more effectively.
But joining the Zhen Nan Wang Mansion would only entangle him in power struggles.
If he wanted to collect resources through the mansion, he would not only have to explain himself but also guard against the desires of the mansion's people.
Moreover, the efficiency would be much slower compared to the Purple Cloud Trading Association, and there might even be a risk of being betrayed.
For him, the disadvantages outweighed the benefits.
Furthermore, this Zhen Nan Wang's son seemed to be trying to win him over.
But his attitude still seemed condescending, as if he was bestowing a favor, which made Xiao Chen feel uncomfortable.
"You refuse?!"
After hearing Xiao Chen's answer, Yang Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked in surprise.
"Brother Xiao, do you not know what the Zhen Nan Wang Mansion represents within the Da Qian Empire?"
Nalan Shijie and the gray-robed old man beside him also looked at Xiao Chen with disbelief. Clearly, they did not expect Xiao Chen to refuse.
You see...
Within the Da Qian Empire, the Zhen Nan Wang Mansion is one of the top forces, second only to the Da Qian Imperial Family, the Wan Hua Sect, the Fen Yan Valley, and the Purple Cloud Trading Association!
There are several Transcendent Realm experts in the mansion, and one of them has even reached the astonishing Eighth Layer of the Transcendent Realm.
Even the Da Qian Imperial Family...
Has to be wary of the Zhen Nan Wang Mansion and even make concessions in certain aspects.
As for the Wilderness...
It is just one of the eighteen provinces in the southern part of the Da Qian Empire. Even the top forces in the Wilderness, such as the Tai Yi Sword Sect, can only go along with the Zhen Nan Wang Mansion.
"I know, the Zhen Nan Wang Mansion... is one of the top five forces in the Da Qian Empire."
"However, I have always valued my freedom and do not wish to get involved in disputes."
"So, I have to refuse the goodwill of the prince."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly, his voice showing no fear.
"The prince kindly invited you, but you, this fellow, are so self-righteous. Could it be that you look down on the Zhen Nan Wang Mansion?"
As Xiao Chen's voice fell, Nalan Shijie suddenly stepped forward and said with a flash in his eyes.
"Get lost!"
"Did I ask you to speak?!"
As soon as Nalan Shijie finished speaking, Yang Xiao's gaze turned cold, instantly making Nalan Shijie's face pale with fear.
"Since Brother Xiao acts on his own will, I will no longer insist."
After reprimanding Nalan Shijie, Yang Xiao smiled lightly and said to Xiao Chen.
"But acquaintance is fate..."
"If Brother Xiao changes his mind in the future, the doors of the Zhen Nan Wang Mansion will always be open for Brother Xiao."
Saying that, Yang Xiao suddenly looked at Mu Rong Qingxue beside him, carefully sizing her up, and a hint of burning desire flashed in his eyes.
"This... is Miss Mu Rong Qingxue from the City Lord's Mansion in Tian Du City, right?"
"I didn't expect that under Brother Xiao's treatment, she would transform into such a stunning beauty."
As he spoke, Yang Xiao walked up to Mu Rong Qingxue and continued with a gentle tone.
"If Miss Mu Rong is interested, she can join our Zhen Nan Wang Mansion."
"If Miss Mu Rong is willing, I can find a Transcendent Realm expert as a teacher for her."
"I can even have my father dispatch a thousand Black Scale Guards to help the Mu Rong family guard Tian Du City, becoming the most powerful City Lord's Mansion within a thousand miles."
This woman...
Has a beauty that is not inferior to Zi Luo, and her talent is also extremely outstanding, just a little weaker in background.
If he could bring her into the Zhen Nan Wang Mansion and cultivate her well in the future, she could even become his queen!
However, due to the presence of Ziluo, Yang Xiao dared not reveal his ambition and could only express it in a more tactful manner.
After hearing Yang Xiao's words, everyone present was stunned.
Unexpectedly, Yang Xiao's invitation to Xiao Chen was unsuccessful, but he turned his attention to Murong Qingxue instead.
"Sorry, when Young Master Xiao cured Qingxue, she had already made up her mind to stay by Young Master Xiao's side."
"So, Miss Qingxue can only respectfully decline the goodwill of the Crown Prince."
Seeing everyone's gaze instantly fall on her, Murong Qingxue became nervous and sweaty in her palms. However, after glancing at Xiao Chen, she finally gathered the courage to speak.
Since Xiao Chen pulled her out of the abyss, she could only live for Xiao Chen in this life.
She would not be moved by other men or other forces!
"..."
After being rejected by Murong Qingxue, Yang Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in them.
However, he did not show it on his face, just smiled with a face full of regret.
"That's a pity..."
"I didn't expect Brother Xiao's luck to be so strong, to make Miss Murong, such a stunning beauty, willingly follow and serve by his side."
"But Brother Xiao is so extraordinary, it is also worth Miss Murong's admiration."
Upon hearing Yang Xiao's seemingly meaningful words, Xiao Chen couldn't help but furrow his brows, his eyes wary as he looked at Yang Xiao.
Scheming, hiding a knife behind a smile, somewhat cunning...
Unexpectedly, on this trip to the Ziyun Chamber of Commerce, he would encounter such a hypocrite. It seemed that this Crown Prince was a bit troublesome.
"Prince Wu, I still have something to discuss with Young Master Xiao. If you have nothing else, please leave the VIP room."
Ziluo, who was on the side, felt that Yang Xiao's words were getting more and more inappropriate, and immediately ordered him to leave.
"Hahaha, since Miss Ziluo said so, this Prince will not disturb any longer."
"When Miss Ziluo is done with her business, let's find a time to gather properly."
Yang Xiao did not get angry at these words, but waved his hand towards the others.
"Let's go!"
The group of people, under the solemn gaze of Xiao Chen and Ziluo, walked out of the VIP room of the Ziyun Chamber of Commerce.
"Young Master Xiao, it seems that you need to be more careful in the future. Yang Xiao might secretly create obstacles for you."
Seeing the group disappear around the corner, Ziluo reminded with a serious tone.
In her impression, Yang Xiao was a bit petty.
Today, Xiao Chen rejected his goodwill, and he would definitely hold a grudge against him.
Although Xiao Chen was now an honorary elder of the Ziyun Chamber of Commerce, Yang Xiao dared not openly attack him due to the face of the chamber of commerce.
But most likely, he would secretly create obstacles!
"It doesn't matter."
"I won't provoke others if they don't provoke me!"
"But if someone provokes me...regardless of their identity or background, they will pay a painful price!"
Xiao Chen waved his hand indifferently, saying with a nonchalant expression.
If Yang Xiao harbored resentment and wanted to mess with him because of today's rejection, then he would make sure that the other party knew how miserable it would be to offend him!
"How about...Young Master Xiao stays in the chamber of commerce for the next few days, so that there can be someone to take care of you even if something happens."
Ziluo frowned at these words, still somewhat worried.
After all, the guardian by Yang Xiao's side had reached the eighth realm of Universal Truth, surpassing her own guardian by just one small realm.
This kind of existence.
Within the Tiandu City, it was almost invincible.
If the other party wanted to secretly attack Xiao Chen, then Xiao Chen would likely encounter a life-threatening crisis.
After all, in the past few years, many people who offended Yang Xiao had disappeared just like that.
