"Brother Xiao Chen, you don't have to be so modest. My strength isn't even one-tenth of yours. I really didn't mean to flatter you, but after being bullied for so many days, I sincerely hope that Brother Xiao Chen can help us regain some face. I also hope that Brother Xiao Chen can go all out when the treasure appears. If there's anything you need our help with, just let me know. We will do our best to cooperate with you, Brother Xiao Chen!" Pei Yuanqing smiled slightly and then said very sincerely.
His solemn expression changed the doubtful expressions of the others because Pei Yuanqing didn't look like he was joking at all.
Of course, if they didn't know that Pei Yuanqing was not a good person, Xiao Chen and the others would really think that he was telling the truth when they saw his sincere expression.
But now, Xiao Chen just smiled and nodded without saying anything.
"Hmph, this guy said that deliberately. I don't know what he's planning!" Da Huang said to Xiao Chen with dissatisfaction.
Xiao Chen smiled and shook his head. He guessed that Pei Yuanqing and Si Marui said that deliberately. On the one hand, they wanted to flatter him, and on the other hand, they wanted to use this opportunity to show others that their previous cooperation was very pleasant and there were no conflicts.
That was why they were so intimate.
This guy's scheming was really deep.
With the flattery of Pei Yuanqing and Si Marui, although the others didn't say anything, they still looked at Xiao Chen with a slightly different expression.
In short, now, not only did he receive the attention of the Immortals, but he also attracted the attention of the experts of the foreign races and the ancient races from time to time.
It could be said that Pei Yuanqing's previous words successfully made Xiao Chen the most eye-catching person among all the people present.
This was naturally not a good thing.
It was just that Xiao Chen was too lazy to explain anything. Pei Yuanqing had deliberately said so much. Even if he explained more, it would not be of any use.
Therefore, he was too lazy to talk to Pei Yuanqing.
He couldn't even be bothered to feign civility towards this fellow.
His indifference made some of the other immortals rather displeased.
After all, Pei Yuanqing's identity and background were extremely great. He had lowered himself so much, yet Xiao Chen remained indifferent. It was a little too arrogant and presumptuous.
"Hmph, I really hope this kid's strength is as great as Pei Yuanqing said. Otherwise, he'll really be asking for trouble." A few immortals were standing nearby, purposely lowering their voices as if afraid of being overheard.
But in reality, none of the people present were ordinary people.
It was easy to hear such words.
"He's so arrogant. Perhaps he really is strong!" someone immediately followed up.
"He's just a lowly fellow. Even if he's lucky enough to have extraordinary strength, it's just luck. What's there to be proud of?"
"Haha, there's nothing we can do about it. Can't you see that he doesn't even care about Pei Yuanqing? I really don't know if it's because he thinks it's beneath him to have any dealings with lowly people like us. "
These fellows pretended to be whispering to each other, but everyone could hear their words clearly.
Da Huang's eyes narrowed in anger. He was about to go over and argue, but Xiao Chen pulled him back and shook his head at him.
These fellows clearly didn't have good intentions. Either they had a close relationship with Pei Yuanqing, or they were deliberately instructed by Pei Yuanqing to say such things.
But no matter what, arguing with them would only make things more troublesome.
It was better to just ignore them.
However, Xiao Chen still silently remembered these fellows in his heart.
No matter what their intentions were, Xiao Chen still remembered what he needed to remember clearly.
Huo Lienke, Zhangsun Rufeng, and the others also remained silent. Clearly, they didn't believe what Pei Yuanqing had just said.
After all, they had dealt with Xiao Chen in the small battlefield. They didn't believe that Xiao Chen's strength could soar to such a terrifying level in such a short period of time.
The Third Prince, Wu Ping, and Kui Pu also didn't believe it.
However, the Third Prince was also very scheming. He didn't say anything to expose or mock them. Instead, he pretended to be very interested. No one knew what he was thinking.
The atmosphere in the central area had become somewhat strange because of Xiao Chen's arrival and Pei Yuanqing's words.
Everyone was silent, as if they were waiting for the next batch of treasures to appear.
The strangest thing was that ever since Xiao Chen and the others had arrived, the treasures in the central area seemed to have disappeared.
They hadn't appeared for a few days.
Xiao Chen and the others hadn't been here for long, so they didn't know about this. However, the others couldn't help but be curious.
Before this, some treasures would appear every half a day or at most two or three days. Even if they weren't extremely precious, they would still appear.
However, six or seven days had passed, and even the most ordinary treasures hadn't appeared.
This made everyone a little puzzled.
The majority of the people here wanted to see whether Xiao Chen's strength was as powerful as Pei Yuanqing had said. However, after his arrival, the treasures hadn't appeared for a long time, which made everyone feel annoyed.
Fortunately, these fellows weren't ordinary people, so they still had this bit of patience.
However, they could clearly feel that the atmosphere was somewhat unusual.
Fortunately, on the eighth day, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly surged!
In an instant, everyone here, including Xiao Chen and the others, opened their eyes at the same time and looked over.
A bewitching seven-colored flower floated in the air, swaying gracefully, carrying with it a strange sense of beauty.
"Seven Demon Flower!"
Although Xiao Chen didn't know what it was, someone shouted in a somewhat surprised tone immediately.
"Haha, the eight days weren't in vain. It's actually a good thing like the Seven Demon Flower!"
"Yes, this thing is very valuable. Such a valuable treasure hasn't appeared for more than a month."
Many people began to discuss it at once.
The strange thing was that no one made a move to snatch it first.
This was not normal at all.
After all, whenever treasures of heaven and earth appeared before, it would immediately cause a fight and a scuffle. That was the case for ordinary treasures of heaven and earth, not to mention a good thing like the Seven Demon Flower.
Although Xiao Chen and the others were a little puzzled, they soon found that almost everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Chen, as if they were waiting for something.
Xiao Chen immediately understood that these fellows were probably waiting for him to make a move. They wanted to see if his strength was as powerful as Pei Yuanqing had said.
