The next morning, Xia Ruofei had some breakfast at the club and rested for a while. At around nine o 'clock in the morning, he asked the staff to prepare a car for him and drove out of the club.
Xia Ruofei drove to the private restaurant where he and Zhao Yongjun and Song Rui used to gather.
In fact, if he wanted to be safe, it would be safest to arrange for them to meet in the Taoyuan Club. However, the Taoyuan Club also had a formation, and Uncle Zheng, who was with Wang Boshan, was probably Zheng Yongshou, who had the deepest understanding of formations in the Star Picking Sect. If he invited them to the Taoyuan Club, it was very likely that they would be able to see the existence of the formation.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei could only settle for the next best thing, which was to choose the private restaurant of the Wang Mansion for the meeting.
Xia Ruofei personally went to the private restaurant of the Wang Mansion and booked the most luxurious private room. It was a small independent courtyard, and once the door was closed, no one would disturb them.
He asked the restaurant to prepare a table of food and wine for lunch, and then asked the waiter to take him to the independent courtyard called Green Bamboo Pavilion.
After arriving at Green Bamboo Pavilion, Xia Ruofei said to the waiter, "I'm going to check out the environment here. It might be a little long, so you don't have to accompany me. If I need anything, I'll call you."
Although the waiter felt that it was a little strange to take a long time to check out a private room, the customer was God, and his request was very reasonable, so she didn't say anything. She nodded and said, "Okay! Sir, if you need anything or want to change to a private room, you can directly use the phone in the private room to call the front desk. "
"Okay! Thank you! "Xia Ruofei smiled.
After the waiter left, Xia Ruofei looked around the small courtyard inside and out, and even cautiously used his spiritual power to check it.
Then, Xia Ruofei took the opportunity to radiate his mental strength outwards. After confirming that no one was spying on them, he raised his hands continuously. Rays of light shot out from his palms and disappeared in a flash into the garden, grass, and potted plants in the yard.
Finally, Xia Ruofei flipped his palm and a warm jade appeared in his hand.
If a cultivator were to see it, they would definitely discover that this seemingly flawless jade stone was, in fact, filled with dense and mysterious runes.
Xia Ruofei's spiritual power slightly penetrated the jade stone, and a murderous aura suddenly rose in the courtyard, faintly hiding an invisible killing intent.
Xia Ruofei's face revealed a trace of satisfaction. He withdrew his spiritual power from the jade stone, and the murderous aura immediately disappeared.
After making all these arrangements, Xia Ruofei felt more at ease.
He had arranged a small Trap and Kill Array in the courtyard, but it was not activated. All the bases that made up the Array were carved out of jade, hidden in every corner of the courtyard. The core that controlled the Array was the piece of jade stone in his hand.
As long as Xia Ruofei did not inject his spiritual power to trigger the Array, everything here was no different from normal. Even if Master's Martial Uncle Zheng was an Array Master, he would certainly not discover it.
What's more, according to Xia Ruofei's judgment, Wang Boshan and Master's Martial Uncle Zheng must not have discovered that he was also a cultivator. Otherwise, they would not be like now, hoping to negotiate and buy Peach Blossom Island with money. Peach Blossom Island was of great significance to cultivators. If it fell into the hands of a cultivator, it would be impossible to buy it with money.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei believed that Wang Boshan and Master's Martial Uncle Zheng would certainly not be too wary of him, let alone notice the jade base scattered in the hidden corners of the courtyard.
Of course, Xia Ruofei was only preparing for a rainy day.
Although his cultivation had reached the ninth layer of Qi Refining, unless the Star Plucking Sect sent out a master of the same generation as Luo Qingfeng, their cultivation would be on par with or even surpass his. In theory, the cultivation of the people who came today should not be as high as his, but he never dared to underestimate the strength of a Cultivation Sect. Perhaps these people would have some unexpected tricks up their sleeves. In addition, he basically had no experience fighting against cultivators. If he did not make a little more preparations, he might not be able to win if they really fell out with him.
The reason he set up this Trap and Kill Array was to prepare for the worst case scenario.
When the time came, Xia Ruofei would only need to jump from the box into the courtyard and he would be in an invincible position.
He had already observed in advance that there was a window to the left of the master seat in the private room. If there was a need, this kind of exquisite window didn't need to be opened at all. He could just crash into the window and jump directly into the courtyard.
The other party would definitely chase him out. When the time came, the Trap and Kill Array would be activated. It should not be a problem to deal with a Qi Refining cultivator.
However, if it was not necessary, Xia Ruofei would definitely not choose to make a move here.
After all, this was the capital. A battle between cultivators would not be small. If the time came, the news might spread throughout the city. Moreover, it was very likely that his identity as a cultivator would be exposed.
Therefore, in Xia Ruofei's plan, the place to make a move was still Peach Blossom Island. Making these arrangements now was just a pretext for failure before victory.
Xia Ruofei checked again, and only then did he feel relieved and walk out of the courtyard of the Green Bamboo Pavilion.
He confirmed with the private restaurant that he was going to the Green Bamboo Pavilion and told them not to serve the dishes when the guests arrived. He also told them not to let the waiters enter the courtyard and that he would call them when necessary.
In the capital, the Wang Mansion's private restaurant was also a very high-grade private restaurant. Ordinary people couldn't afford such expensive dishes, so the people who came here were either rich or noble. Everyone gathered together to eat. Most of them wanted to talk about something or make friends. The requirements for privacy were very high.
Therefore, the receptionist of the private restaurant was not unfamiliar with Xia Ruofei's request. He was not surprised and did not hesitate to smile and agree.
After Xia Ruofei walked out of the private restaurant, he did not leave. Instead, he sat directly in the Mercedes-Benz car he drove from the Taoyuan Club. He had arranged an array in the courtyard of the Green Bamboo Pavilion. It was certainly impossible for him to leave now. If the service staff accidentally touched the array, then the previous arrangement would be in vain.
This kind of simple array had no power at all. The array foundation was just a simple jade stone at this time. Ordinary people also had the ability to destroy it.
The place where Xia Ruofei parked was just close to the backyard. He sat in the car and could easily monitor the situation of the Green Bamboo Pavilion with his mental strength.
Xia Ruofei adjusted the back of the driver's seat to the maximum and then lay in the car. He always separated a part of his mental strength to monitor the situation in the courtyard.
At the same time, Xia Ruofei was also multitasking. He took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Wang Boshan, telling him the time, place, and name of the private room for lunch.
Wang Boshan had obviously been waiting for Xia Ruofei's message all morning. After the text message was sent, he immediately replied, "Got it! Thank you, Boss Xia, for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet us. We will be there on time! "
Xia Ruofei glanced at the text message sent by Wang Boshan, threw the phone on the passenger seat, and then closed his eyes to rest.
Xia Ruofei chose to stay in the parking lot of the Wang Mansion Private Kitchen for another purpose. He wanted to see if Wang Boshan and Master's Junior Zheng had any evil intentions towards him.
If Wang Boshan and Master's Junior Zheng really wanted to deal with him, they might come in advance or send someone to make some arrangements. And all of this naturally could not escape the monitoring of Xia Ruofei's mental strength.
Time passed little by little.
Waiting was actually a very boring thing, but Xia Ruofei had received special lurking training when he was in the army, and he was very patient. He did not have the slightest impatience. While monitoring the surroundings with his mental strength, he also found a phone to watch.
It turned out that Xia Ruofei's previous worries were unnecessary. There was nothing unusual here all morning.
Xia Ruofei raised his wrist and glanced at it. He found that it was already past 11 o 'clock. He and Wang Boshan had agreed that the time was 11: 30 in the morning. It should be about time. As the host, he must arrive at the Green Bamboo Pavilion early.
So, Xia Ruofei pushed open the car door and got out. He returned to the Green Bamboo Pavilion private kitchen of the Wang Mansion.
Because Wang Boshan and Master's Junior Zheng could appear at any time, and these two people were real cultivators, so in order to avoid being discovered by them, Xia Ruofei also withdrew his mental strength. Now his divine light was restrained, and it was impossible to tell that he was a cultivator from the outside.
In fact, Xia Ruofei had also done some research on this matter. It was almost impossible for people with low cultivation to see the specific strength of people with high cultivation, and people with similar cultivation could more or less detect it under normal circumstances.
However, this was only "under normal circumstances". Xia Ruofei did not belong to this "under normal circumstances". The "Tao Formula" he cultivated was a top cultivation method, and the Qi he cultivated was naturally incomparably pure. The more advanced the cultivation method, the more natural it would be after cultivation. Therefore, even people with the same cultivation as Xia Ruofei, or even slightly higher than him, would not be able to discover that he was actually a cultivator.
However, it was quite easy for Xia Ruofei to see through the other person's cultivation.
Of course, this was all information provided by the cultivation manuals. Whether it was accurate or not still needed to be tested in practice. Today was a good opportunity.
Xia Ruofei sat quietly on the guest sofa in the private room. He held a cup of tea in his hand and took a sip from it from time to time.
He waited for another ten minutes or so before he heard footsteps coming from outside.
Then, there was a soft knock on the door. Xia Ruofei said loudly, "Come in!"
The waiter opened the door of the private room. Xia Ruofei immediately saw two people behind the waiter. The younger one was Wang Boshan, who looked no different from the photo in the information. The other old man with white hair was just as Wu Qiang had reported. He was still wearing a slightly faded dark blue robe.
After Wang Boshan entered the room, he glanced around and immediately locked onto Xia Ruofei, who was drinking tea. He put on a warm smile on his face and took two steps forward. "You must be Boss Xia! I've heard a lot about you! I've heard a lot about you! "
Xia Ruofei said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "You're too kind, Director Wang … How can my small company compare to Star Group? If we're talking about names, Director Wang is more famous! "
Wang Boshan laughed and said, "Boss Xia, you're too humble. Nowadays, it's the internet celebrity economy. Popularity is the most important thing! I can never catch up to Boss Xia's popularity! "
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wang Boshan pointed at the old man in the dark blue robe beside him and said, "Boss Xia, let me introduce you. This is an elder of mine. This time, it's mainly the two of us who want to talk to you."
"My name is Zheng Yongshou," the old man in the blue robe said calmly, "You can call me Mr. Yongshou or Mr. Zheng."
Xia Ruofei thought to himself, 'This Master's Junior Zheng is indeed Zheng Yongshou! Looks like the Star Picking Sect is really taking this seriously this time! '
Although his mind was racing, Xia Ruofei still had a smile on his face. He said, "Welcome, Mr. Zheng!"
After everyone took their seats, Xia Ruofei said, "Director Wang, I've already cleared all unrelated people. Now, can you tell me what this billion-dollar business is about?"
Xia Ruofei said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "You're too kind, Director Wang … How can my small company compare to Star Group? If we're talking about names, Director Wang is more famous! "
Wang Boshan laughed and said, "Boss Xia, you're too humble. Nowadays, it's all about the internet celebrity economy. Popularity is everything! Boss Xia's popularity is something I can never catch up to! "
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wang Boshan pointed at the old man in the dark blue robe beside him and said, "Boss Xia, let me introduce you. This is an elder of mine. This time, it's mainly the two of us who want to talk to you."

Xia Ruofei said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "You're too kind, Director Wang … How can my small company compare to Star Group?
