C340 It's Safe to be Prepared
After separating from Ruan Xiangjun, Xiao Chen returned to back hill of Half Mountain Villa.
However, he did not rush back to the courtyard immediately. Instead, he walked around the garden for a long time before patting his face.
Waiting. When he finally entered, he had already suppressed the irritation in his heart.
With a smile as usual, he chatted with Lau Ruman and Aunt Iron about some unimportant topics.
He waited until evening when Chu Huaiyu returned.
She had also heard from her mother about the matter of Ruan Hongyu finding him and immediately went to find Xiao Chen.
Once the Merchant Union was successfully established, because of the similar nature, it would definitely become the biggest competitor of the Red Association.
Obviously, Chu Huaiyu also understood this point.
That was why she was so nervous when she knew that Ruan Hongyu had actually been to the courtyard.
Once they confronted the Red Association head on, the Merchant Union, who had just risen up, might not be the Red Association's match.
However, Xiao Chen did not seem to mind it. He comforted Chu Huaiyu very easily, indicating that he did not need to worry about anything.
Chu Huaiyu really did not know where he got his confidence from.
However, this was also something that she had expected before. Hence, after the initial nervousness, she also slowly calmed down.
However, when she saw Xiao Chen's gentle and gentle smile, she suddenly felt that something was not right.
She tilted her head and carefully looked at his face, but in the end, she did not say anything.
At dinner time, Lin Yichao had already rushed back. Today, his body, which had been corroded by the poison, had fully recovered.
With the addition of the Pure Spirit Body, his cultivation base had advanced by leaps and bounds.
From the looks of it, he was no longer that weak and weak sickly person. He had long evolved into an atypical muscular man.
Noticing his slightly furrowed brows, Xiao Chen could not help but sweep a glance behind him.
Speaking of which, it had been a few days since he last saw Lin Zhiwei. After pondering for a moment, Xiao Chen opened his mouth and asked.
"Why are you alone again today? Don't tell me you quarreled with Zhiwei!"
He casually asked a question with a hint of teasing.
Lin Yichao did not reply when he heard her. Chu Huaiyu glared at him.
"Didn't I tell you that Zhiwei has returned to the Yuu family? She's not an old man in his 80s or 80s. How did she get amnesia?"
Chu Huaiyu turned around and teased Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head awkwardly.
Lin Yichao did not mind. After such a long time, he slowly got used to the occasional jokes with Xiao Chen and Chu Huaiyu.
However, after Chu Huaiyu's words, a trace of worry appeared on his face.
In the end, Lin Zhiwei was still under the name of a spy from the Yuu family.
According to Xiao Chen's original suggestion, Lin Zhiwei's identity as a spy had not been exposed until now.
Furthermore, she had successfully become the anti-spy that Xiao Chen had planted in the Yuu family.
However, the Yuu family was not Xiao Chen. Once Lin Zhiwei's identity as the anti-spy was exposed, she was afraid that she would encounter some kind of danger.
Therefore, he had always been on tenterhooks.
Looking at his appearance, Xiao Chen could only smile and calmly comfort him.
As for the reason why the Yuu family called Lin Zhiwei back at this time, needless to say, it was because of the previous exchange meeting.
There was nothing to hide. After all, almost all the families had seen it.
Lin Zhiwei did not need to hide anything. She had told Xiao Chen everything she knew. Therefore, Xiao Chen was not worried about Lin Zhiwei's safety.
While they were talking, dinner was already on the table. The group of people finished dinner and went back to their rooms.
Because of Ruan Hongyu's visit, Chu Huaiyu became very cautious about the initial plan after the Merchant Union was established.
So in the middle of the night, they were still on the phone with Zhang Xiaoxiao, Muh Zixun and a few others.
As for Xiao Chen, he naturally did not stay idle. After informing Chu Huaiyu, he turned to the guest room.
He took out the pill furnace the moment he entered, but he sat there cross-legged and did not immediately start concocting the pill.
His chaotic state of mind made it impossible for him to calm down. He just sat there for the entire night.
The next morning, when he heard Chu Huaiyu open the door, he rubbed his somewhat dizzy head and sent her out with a smile.
Since he was unable to start concocting pills, he thought for a while before he turned to the Dragonwing Hall.
"From today onwards, Jin Lan will be on alert. Let the brothers work harder."
"Sir, did something happen?" Jiang Loong suddenly received the order and was a little stunned.
"The establishment of Merchant Union will undoubtedly stir up the cake of many people. Although we are not sure yet, as the saying goes, there is no harm in being prepared!"
Xiao Chen took a deep breath. As he had said before, no matter what battlefield or battle it was, it would always be started by people.
Jin Lan was his base camp, and almost all the people he cared about were here. Therefore, he had to make some preparations in advance.
Jiang Loong naturally felt the seriousness in Xiao Chen's words. He didn't raise any more questions and nodded his head to accept the order.
However, Xiao Chen didn't leave immediately. He pondered for a long time before taking a deep breath.
"Also, tell Moo Yongjian to raise his spirits, especially..."
As he spoke, Xiao Chen could not help but pause for a moment. In the end, he still said the word Red Meeting.
Noticing the unintentional sadness in Xiao Chen's eyes, Jiang Loong tactfully did not say anything.
Only after he arranged everything that needed to be arranged did Xiao Chen rub his head.
After a while, he got up and went to the training ground to look for the Dragon Subduing Team kids to train.
Only after beating up the bunch of kids until they were crying for mercy did Xiao Chen wipe the sweat off his forehead.
After washing up in the training ground and sweating all over, and being splashed with cold water, his chaotic state of mind finally calmed down.
He did not delay at the headquarters either. Xiao Chen packed up and rushed back to the courtyard of Hua Manor.
This time, when he returned to the guest room, he finally took out his True Qi and wrapped it around the pill furnace. Soon, a burst of pill fragrance wafted out from the room.
He sat there for several days. Compared to before, the speed at which he refined the pill was much slower.1
With his full concentration, ninety percent of the high grade pills were formed.
It was not until the day before the celebration banquet in Merchant Union that he leisurely finished the last batch of pills and came out of the guest room.
He had not shown himself for nearly ten days. When he came out again, his beard had become even more luxuriant than before.
Chu Huaiyu looked at him and could not help but frown. She did not wait for him to pass the medicinal pill to Loo Zhuo and dragged him out of the door.
After that, they went shopping for the whole day, but compared to before, they bought Xiao Chen's things this time.
At the end of the day, she even specially brought him to the beauty parlor to make a styling.
No, it should be said to test the styling.
After all, in just a few hours of the afternoon, Xiao Chen had changed three or four times the hairstyle on his head.
"Wife, is there really a need to do this? It's just a cocktail party. I think it's better to be a little casual."
