However, Qi Lin had a sense of propriety and didn't reveal any other intentions, so Xiao Chen didn't care too much about it.
"Young Master Xiao, Miss Fang, it's getting late. Why don't I be the host and treat the two of you to dinner? It's also an apology for what happened just now. After all, as one of the law enforcement families in Northern Cold City, we didn't fulfill our obligations in time! Something unpleasant almost happened! "Qi Lin said with a smile.
Fang Ruo glanced at Xiao Chen and said slowly, "Thank you for your help just now, Childe Xiao. I'll listen to you."
Xiao Chen looked at them and thought of what Wuchen Zi had told him before. If he met someone who was interested in making friends, he should make friends with them. Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Childe Qi, you're too polite. Since it's hard to refuse Childe Qi Lin's kindness, it would be impolite for us to refuse!"
"Haha, Childe Xiao is really a straightforward person," Qi Lin didn't seem to expect that Xiao Chen would agree so readily, and then he laughed.
The place of the dinner wasn't Saint Welcoming House, but a very high-end restaurant of the Qi Family.
"Young Master Xiao, you have been staying in the Saint Welcoming House for the past few days in the Northern Chill City, so you must have eaten all the dishes in the Saint Welcoming House. Although the restaurant of my Qi Clan isn't as famous as the Saint Welcoming House, it also has a few very special dishes that the Saint Welcoming House doesn't have. Young Master Xiao, you must taste them later and give us more suggestions," Qi Lin said with a smile after taking a seat in the private room.
Moreover, this guy was extremely slick. He seemed to know that Xiao Chen had some interests in snacks, so he ordered the restaurant to prepare some special snacks before the dishes were served.
"These are some snacks developed by our Qi Family's restaurant. Please have a taste. If there's any improvement, please don't hesitate to enlighten us!" Qi Lin said with a smile.
Xiao Chen nodded slightly and glanced at Fang Qing, who was now sitting beside him and staring at the unique snacks on the table. She was drooling but didn't dare to move. Xiao Chen took some snacks from the table and gave them to the little girl.
"Look at your greedy face. Eat, don't be shy." Xiao Chen rubbed the little girl's little head.
The little girl glanced at Fang Ruo again. After getting permission from the latter's gaze, she immediately started eating happily.
"Is it good?" Xiao Chen looked at the little girl eating happily, so he took a few more servings to her.
"It's delicious! Big Brother, you should try it too! Some snacks taste better than the ones outside! "The little girl directly grabbed a snack and handed it to Xiao Chen's mouth.
"Qing Qing!" Fang Ruo chided softly when she saw this.
"I'm fine!" Xiao Chen waved his hand, then under the girl's expectant gaze, he took a bite of the snack that was handed to him.
"Well, not bad!" Xiao Chen smiled.
"Hee hee, I knew it. Big Brother's taste is similar to mine. If I think it's delicious, Big Brother will also think it's delicious." The little girl was very happy.
Xiao Chen touched her head again and said softly, "Don't eat too much. There will be delicious food later. If you eat too much now, you won't be able to eat later."
"Okay!" The little girl was very obedient. She tasted each dish and didn't eat anymore.
Fang Ruo looked at the little girl who was so obedient to Xiao Chen and the scene of Xiao Chen. Her eyes flashed a touch of complex emotions, but she didn't say anything.
Qi Lin had been looking at them with a smile, and there was also a trace of undetectable light flashing in his eyes.
Soon, the dishes were served.
As Qi Lin said just now, this guy didn't mean to brag about his family's business. Compared with Yingsheng House, the dishes here had their own merits.
From the beginning to the end, Qi Lin didn't want to inquire about Xiao Chen's identity and background, which also surprised Xiao Chen a little. He thought that this guy would take the opportunity to inquire about something.
However, from the beginning to the end, Qi Lin didn't talk about this topic, which made Xiao Chen think more highly of Qi Lin.
This Qi Lin and Hua Shiqiao were obviously the younger generation of their respective families, but there was no comparison between them. One was in the sky, and the other was on the ground.
"Childe Xiao, if you need any help or services in Northern Chill City, please don't hesitate to ask. If there is anything I can help with, I won't hesitate to do it." After eating and drinking, Qi Lin said seriously.
"Thank you very much, Childe Qi Lin." Xiao Chen nodded slightly.
After chatting for a while, Qi Lin took the initiative to send him back to Yingsheng House, and Fang Ruo went directly to Kanshui Auction House.
Until the end, Qi Lin didn't say anything to test Xiao Chen's background.
"This guy must have some purpose, but no matter what it is, I'll deal with it when it comes," Xiao Chen murmured, recalling the series of actions after Qi Lin appeared.
In the next few days, Xiao Chen didn't go out again. During this period, Fang Kai brought Fang Ruo to Xiao Chen's house to thank him for helping Fang Ruo that day.
Apart from that, the Huashi Family didn't trouble him again, and Qi Lin didn't make any moves.
Xiao Chen cultivated alone until the day of the auction.
It was a once-in-a-century auction, and it was indeed very grand!
When Xiao Chen arrived at the Kanshui Auction House, there were more than ten times more people at the entrance than the last time he saw it.
They were all waiting to line up to enter.
The long queue made Xiao Chen speechless.
There were so many people that the entire street was almost full.
Moreover, there were more people coming.
Fortunately, when he arrived, Fang Ruo was waiting for him at the entrance, and directly led him into the VIP passage, saving him the trouble of queuing.
This made many people envious. Unfortunately, they had to use the VIP passage of the Kanshui Auction House, which was not something ordinary people could afford.
After entering, Fang Ruo said to Xiao Chen, "There are many people here today, and the largest auction house is open. Apart from the major forces of the Northern Chill City, other large families and forces in the Beihan Region will also come. My father may be very busy today, so he can't entertain Childe Xiao in person. I hope Childe Xiao doesn't mind."
Of course, Xiao Chen didn't mind.
Fang Ruo led him to a very small private room.
"I'm sorry, Childe Xiao, this room is a little small, but there are too many people here today, and many of them are VIPs of the auction house. All the good private rooms have been reserved by them. My father and I have tried our best, but unfortunately, we couldn't get a better seat for Childe Xiao. I hope Childe Xiao doesn't mind," Fang Ruo said apologetically.
Xiao Chen waved his hand, indicating that it wasn't important.
