What did it mean to get rich overnight? This was a f * cking overnight riches!
During the Overgrown Forest Battle, Chen Xiaobei had spent 100 million Spiritual Stones to lure the million Demonic Beasts into the Verdant Emperor's Divine Gourd.
And because of that battle, Chen Xiaobei had earned 500 million Spiritual Stones!
This could be considered as good karma. After all, if it was not for that battle, Chen Xiaobei would not have been valued by the Northern Wilderness Overlord, and Tie Hongji would not have been so afraid of him. Naturally, he would not have gotten such a large sum of Spiritual Stones!
That was why karma existed. Everything was connected in a mysterious way. If there was a cause, there must be an effect!
The deal was done.
Ximen Dingjun then brought Chen Xiaobei and Linghu Shuang to the Northern Wilderness Temple!
This state banquet was very grand. Even though they were quite a distance away from the temple, they could already see the lanterns and banners on the streets.
When they arrived at the entrance of the temple, the place was even livelier than usual.
Linghu Shuang loved crowds. She was very excited and overjoyed along the way.
To her, Chen Xiaobei would have a bright future in Northern Wilderness Starfield since he was valued so highly by the Northern Wilderness Overlord.
But along the way, Chen Xiaobei was very calm, even a little indifferent.
That was because, underneath the liveliness and excitement, Chen Xiaobei could see the Northern Wilderness Overlord's schemes.
On the surface, this grand banquet was set up for Chen Xiaobei.
But in reality, it was all for the public to see!
The Northern Wilderness Overlord wanted to use this grand banquet to tell the world that he was a wise ruler who valued talent and rewards!
At the same time, he wanted to tell those forces that Chen Xiaobei had saved their lives that their hero had received the highest level of hospitality and gratitude from the Temple. This was all because of the Northern Wilderness Overlord's grace!
This way, the world's heroes would follow Chen Xiaobei's example and fight for the Temple. They would do their best to earn the Overlord's recognition.
And those forces that were saved by Chen Xiaobei would also be grateful to the Northern Wilderness Overlord.
To put it simply, the overlord of Northern Wilderness held this state banquet to ride on Chen Xiaobei's popularity! He wanted to use Chen's reputation to buy people's hearts.
Because of that, the banquet had lost its original purpose. Naturally, Chen Xiaobei could not bring himself to be excited. In fact, he hoped that the banquet would be over soon so that he could return to Silver Plume as soon as possible.
Northern Wilderness Divine Palace.
It was majestic, luxurious, and even more magnificent than the Forbidden City of Dragon City!
This showed that the Northern Wilderness Overlord was like an emperor in the Starfield. When he was drunk, he could lie on the lap of beauties and rule the world when he was sober. This was a life that countless people dreamed of and only the Northern Wilderness Overlord could enjoy!
Finally, the first person Chen Xiaobei saw was the man who stood at the top of the pyramid in Northern Wilderness Starfield!
"Welcome, Mr. Chen!"
The Northern Wilderness Overlord was wearing a black robe embroidered with golden dragon patterns. He exuded a majestic aura that was as calm as a mountain and as violent as a dragon.
As soon as he opened his mouth, thunderous applause erupted from all around.
Those who were able to attend this event were either core members of the Temple or the best in their field. If these people stomped their feet, the entire Northern Wilderness Starfield would tremble!
At this moment, all of them stood up and applauded Chen Xiaobei.
The warm applause lasted until Chen Xiaobei walked to the VIP table and sat down next to the Northern Wilderness Overlord. Only then did the applause die down.
Linghu Shuang was completely stunned by this scene. The little girl shrunk beside Chen Xiaobei the entire time, not daring to say a word.
On the other hand, Chen Xiaobei's state of mind had improved. Facing such a grand occasion, he was still able to handle it with ease. Naturally, taking care of Linghu Shuang was not a problem.
Fortunately, nothing out of the ordinary happened after that. The whole banquet was as Chen had expected it to be.
From the Northern Wilderness Overlord to the other members, they all greeted Chen Xiaobei politely. It was as if they were just going through the motions and completing a mission.
During the banquet, some people who looked like reporters used their cameras to record the 'intimate conversation' between the Northern Wilderness Overlord and Chen Xiaobei. Tomorrow, the headlines of Northern Wilderness Starfield would be covered by the same news.
Finally, after three rounds of drinks, the reporters left the venue. This meant that Chen Xiaobei could leave as well.
But Chen Xiaobei did not expect that just as he was about to find an excuse to leave, the Northern Wilderness Overlord would ask to talk to him in private!
This was very strange!
One should know that the entire banquet today was just a show for the people to see!
From the beginning to the end, Chen Xiaobei was just playing along. He never thought that the Northern Wilderness Overlord would make such a request!
But one thing was for sure. The Northern Wilderness Overlord's time was extremely precious. Since he had asked to talk to Chen Xiaobei in private, every word that he was going to say would carry great meaning.
Chen Xiaobei had to listen to him!
"Shuang 'er, wait for me here for a while. Don't go anywhere. I'll be back soon!" Chen Xiaobei reminded her.
"Alright! I'll stay here. I won't go anywhere! "Linghu Shuang nodded obediently.
Chen Xiaobei then felt relieved and followed the Northern Wilderness Overlord out of the banquet hall.
…..
In the study room.
The first thing that the Northern Wilderness Overlord said shocked Chen Xiaobei. "Mr. Chen Xiaobei, I already know the truth about the Atlantis incident!"
"What …" Chen was stunned. He was so shocked that he did not know what to say.
When the Northern Wilderness Overlord said Chen Xiaobei's name, it was enough to prove that he really knew everything.
"Who told you that? Governor Dong? Or Elder Wenren? "Chen Xiaobei frowned and asked.
"None of them!"
The Northern Wilderness Overlord shook his head and said, "The two of them wanted to hide it from me but the truth cannot be hidden forever! I'm the Northern Wilderness Overlord, not just a piece of paper!"
Clearly, the reason why the Northern Wilderness Overlord was able to rule the entire starfield for so long was because he had spies in the dark!
The spies that leaked the secret might be around Dong Zhuo, Wenren Jinghao, or even Lu Gang.
"Since the Overlord already knows everything, what are you going to do to me?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
Clearly, no matter how he tried to defend himself, it would be futile! At least the Northern Wilderness Overlord did not kill him directly. This meant that things had not reached the worst stage yet.
"I'm not going to punish you. I just want to test you with a few difficult questions!" The Northern Wilderness Overlord said with a half-smile.
"Test me? What do you mean? "Chen Xiaobei asked.
"Not only do I know the truth about the Atlantis incident, but I also know that you want to replace the Lu Family and become the master of South Town Star Temple!
