"Aiya! Senior Chen! You're finally here! This Gu has been waiting for you for so long! "
Just then, Gu Congwen came out of Violet Bamboo Gazebo to welcome them. He was all smiles, trying to please them.
"Yes."
Chen nodded at him and asked casually, "Who is the owner of this white car?"
"This …"
Gu Congwen glanced at the carriage and could not help but feel nervous. He whispered, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be Lady Wenren's carriage …"
"Wenren family?" Chen narrowed his eyes.
"Elder Chen must have come from a faraway planet. Otherwise, you would have known that the Wenren Family is one of the most powerful families on Silver Plume Planet!"
Gu Congwen said in awe, "The ancestor of the Wenren family is the core elder of the Northern Wilderness Temple. The current family head, who is also this lady's father, also holds an important position in the temple!"
"I see."
Chen nodded and said, "I have witnessed the power of this lady just now. I am not surprised that she has such a background!"
Gu Congwen thought for a moment and said, "It's strange! Recently, there was a rumor that the lady's father was about to be transferred back to Silver Plume City. That was equivalent to a demotion! Therefore, Senior Chen, it's best if you don't get too close to the Wenren family … "
"Summon me back to Silver Plume?" Chen's mind started to spin.
He had heard from Ju Niao that Atlantis had been destroyed and the Lu Family was about to fall.
The Master of the Wenren Family was transferred back to Silver Plume at this time, not because he was demoted, but because the Temple trusted him so much that he was ordered to handle this emergency!
In the words of Earth, he was equivalent to an imperial envoy! Even the governor of Silver Plume City had to give in to him!
Now, many people who did not know the inside story were like Gu Congwen, deliberately distancing themselves from the Wen family.
Only a small number of people who knew about what happened to Atlantis would understand that getting close to the Wenren family was the right way!
However, this incident also sent out a bad signal.
Only a small number of people knew that something had happened to Atlantis. This meant that the Temple of God did not intend to make this matter public!
His motive was very likely to be to protect the Lu family!
After all, the ancestor of the Lu family was an elder of the South Town Star Hall. The Lu family had earned a lot from the South Town Star Hall, so they definitely had deep connections over time.
This was no small matter. Once they fell, the Lu family would lose everything.
Therefore, even if they had to spend a huge amount of money, even if they had to use up all their connections, the Lu family had to protect themselves.
Chen's plan to destroy the Lu family and avenge the Demonic Fox's death would be foiled.
Perhaps, the Lu Family would start investigating from Earth and dig up Chen Xiaobei's background!
That was the biggest security risk!
Once the Lu Family found out about Chen Xiaobei's identity, his family and friends on earth would be in grave danger!
Chen had to figure out a way to deal with this. It seems that I must go and get closer to Miss Wenren!
"Why hasn't Senior Chen said anything? Let's go in! "Gu Congwen said.
"Alright. Let's go." Chen nodded.
As the top-notch restaurant on 1st Street, Purple Bamboo Restaurant was huge and of high quality. Accordingly, the cost was also very high.
Chen Xiaobei picked up the menu and flipped through it. One meal would cost at least hundreds of low-grade Spiritual Stones. And that was without ordering any good wine!
If converted to RMB, one meal could bankrupt the richest person in a second or third-tier city in China!
Of course, there was a reason why the food here was expensive.
Spiritual Fruit Salad, Spiritual Vegetable Stir-Fry, Spiritual Beast Dish – almost all of the ingredients were One-Star Spiritual Items.
With the help of Xiao 'er's Special Ability, one's cultivation would increase by a lot after eating this meal. To put it bluntly, this was no different from eating Spiritual Stones. It would be strange if it was not expensive!
Of course, other than the ingredients, the real attraction here was the seven interstellar chefs!
They were experts in cooking the dishes of the nearby planets. They could handle thousands of ingredients perfectly.
Not only did they look, smell, and taste great, they were also very creative.
That was why the governor of Silver Plume would come to Purple Bamboo Restaurant a few times every month. One of the times, he would accept food from the public. If someone's food was chosen, they would be rewarded handsomely by the governor.
"Senior Chen, what do you like to eat? Just order it. Treat this as your own home. Don't be shy."
Gu Congwen was here to recruit Chen Xiaobei. Naturally, he had to be generous.
"I think you should order it. We are not that close yet. I don't want you to spend so much money on me." Chen Xiaobei put down the menu.
"Don't! Senior Chen, you don't have to be so courteous with me! "
Gu Congwen quickly said. "To put it bluntly, we feel like old friends at first sight. If you don't mind, I would like to call you elder brother. From now on, we are one family!"
"Oh?"
Chen Xiaobei was taken aback. Then, he used his own voice and said, "Since Elder Gu treats me as one of your family, then I shall not hide it anymore. Actually, I'm just a junior."
After that, Chen Xiaobei took off the mask on his face.
The reason why Chen Xiaobei wore the mask today was because he did not want to create another conflict in the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce.
Since Gu Congwen was full of respect for him, there was no need for Chen Xiaobei to pretend to be an old man anymore.
More importantly, Chen Xiaobei wanted to get in touch with Ms. Wenren. He wanted to show his real face so that he would not have to explain himself in the future.
"Oh my god … Elder Chen … You …"
When Gu Congwen saw Chen Xiaobei's real face, he was shocked.
"Elder Gu, you can change the way you address me now." Chen Xiaobei said.
"Yes … Mr. Chen, you really surprised me! A young hero! Amazing! "Gu Congwen exclaimed.
"Elder Gu, you're too kind. I hope you won't judge a book by its cover. I'm just a kid." Chen Xiaobei said.
"How is that possible?!
Mr. Chen is willing to show me your real face. This shows that you trust me. Naturally, I will be more sincere to you! "Gu Congwen said.
"Then, I'm not worried." Chen Xiaobei nodded. "After all, I will be staying in Silver Plume Planet for a while. In the future, I might need to look for you to trade with me!"
Chen Xiaobei knew that Gu Congwen wanted to recruit him because he wanted to do more business with him. He was not afraid that Gu Congwen would reject his offer.
"Welcome! You're most welcome! "
Gu Congwen patted his chest. "Mr. Chen, you will be treated like a VIP when you visit my shop in the future! I will also consider the price carefully. I will not let you suffer any loss! "
"Alright! It's a deal then! "Chen Xiaobei smiled.
"Oh no … Oh no …"
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the room.
