C367 Engagement
Along the way, the driver of the chatterbox constantly pointed out various attractions to Chen Long, but Chen Long was not in the mood to listen and only nodded his head subconsciously.
"Little brother, look, this is the Great Clarity Monastery. Legend has it that Emperor Shunzhi met that Xia Yuhe here and left Xia Ziwei here …"
"Huh?"
Hearing those words, Chen Long could not help but grin. Was this elder brother joking? When did he conveniently run over to Yangzhou to take care of a girl?
Xia Yuhe from the Great Clarity Monastery? Could it be that Xia Ziwei is a damn nun?
Can you use snacks when you want to see a bead?!
Chen Long couldn't help but grumble in his heart. Even if he wanted to refute, he was powerless to do so. Whatever he wanted to say!
"We're almost there!"
A little while later, the driver called out to him and slowed down the car. Chen Long looked out the window and saw a huge manor in front of him.
Outside the vermillion door, there were two huge stone lions sitting on both sides of the gate. They were decorated with lanterns and festoons. Inside the bridge was flowing water, lush and verdant. It was a testament to the Xia family's incomparable wealth.
"How impressive!" Chen Long sneered.
"Of course!"
The driver sighed with emotion, "The Xia family is a famous family in Yangzhou. They are especially rich. We won't be able to earn that much money in our lifetime!"
"Oh right, little brother, what are you doing in the Xia family?" the driver asked.
"Looking for someone."
A trace of coldness flashed across his eyes.
However, the driver was just an ordinary person. He didn't notice the change in Chen Long's expression, but his attitude became even more respectful.
"Little brother, you have to know that those who can get in and out of the Xia family are either high-ranking officials or celebrities. Looking at your young age, you actually know the Xia family. You must not be an ordinary person, right?" the driver asked tentatively.
"Ha ha!"
Chen Long let out a faint smile but didn't reply.
Seeing that Chen Long wasn't in the mood to talk, the driver forced a smile and didn't say anything, afraid that he would anger this big shot who knew the Xia family.
After a while, the driver stopped the car and said, "Little brother, we're in front of the security area. They won't let us take a taxi, take a look …"
"It's fine, I'll stay here for now!"
Chen Long nodded his head and handed over the driver's money. Then, he stepped out of the car and slowly walked toward the Xia Clan's gate.
Before he even got close to the door, someone immediately walked over and arrogantly asked, "Halt, who are you? What are you doing here? "
There were more than a dozen security guards standing outside of the gate to the Xia clan's headquarters. They were big and sturdy and gave off an intimidating aura. The weakest among them were experts at the early stage of inner strength, which was enough to show that they were not ordinary people.
No wonder the driver said that the security guards at the gate were all hired from famous security companies in the country. Their monthly salary was tens of thousands of yuan, and they completely dominated the white-collar workers.
However, this level of skill was nothing for Chen Long.
"I'm looking for someone!" Chen Long said indifferently.
"Looking for someone?"
The security guard suspiciously glanced at Chen Long and discovered that although his clothes weren't bad, they weren't amazing either. The arrogance in his heart rose naturally.
"To whom?"
"I'm looking for Xia Xiaoxuan. I'm her friend." Chen Long answered.
"You said that you're the Miss's friend?"
The security guard looked at Chen Long up and down, but unexpectedly, he sneered. "Brat, you actually said that you're Miss's friend?"
Looks like Xiao Xuan was brought back by the Xia Family!
Chen Long thought for a moment before frowning and asked, "I'm Xia Xiaoxuan's friend, is there a problem with that?"
"Eh …"
Chen Long's calmness made the security guard a bit uncertain. Could this brat really be a friend of the young miss?
At this time, a Lamborghini parked in front of the Xia Family's gate. A potbellied middle-aged man with a heavy makeup on his arm walked over.
When he heard what Chen Long had to say, he couldn't help but laugh coldly, "Kid, are you not afraid of losing your tongue in the face of wind? Do you think you know the young mistress of the Xia clan?"
He then said in a tone that was as if he was a successful person teaching a junior a lesson, "Young people these days, I just don't know how to work steadily and only think of stepping into the heavens every day. How can there be such a good thing. It's really generation after generation!"
"Hubby, what you said makes sense!" The woman beside him replied in a coquettish voice.
As the two of them spoke, they stepped forward.
Obviously, this man was quite well-known in Yangzhou. The security guard beside Chen Long immediately walked up and said with a charming smile, "Boss Liu, you're here!"
"Come in quickly!"
"En!"
Liu Tianhe nodded and walked inside. When he walked past Chen Long, he purposely put on a condescending look and sneered, "Brat, if you want to walk through this gate as honorably as I do, I think you should find a face and struggle for another twenty or thirty years!"
"Haha, hubby, with just him alone, I don't think he'll be able to live his entire life anymore. In his next life, right?" The woman beside Liu Tianhe gave Chen Long a disgusted look as she ridiculed him.
"You can't put it that way either. Maybe forty to fifty years from now, he'll have some dog shit luck, haha …"
Chen Long only looked at the two of them coldly without making a sound. He could tell that this person was suffering from some sort of hidden disease and had not lived for many days. Chen Long wasn't so boring as to get angry at someone who was about to die.
"Kid, not just anyone can enter the Xia family's gate. Scram, your father is in a good mood. If you continue pestering me, your elder will …"
"What did you do to me?" Chen Long said coldly, a trace of displeasure flashing through his eyes.
The Xia family was Xiao Xuan's family, and he wanted to give them a way out. He didn't expect to be stopped at the door before he could even get in.
"Looks like it's better to be simple and direct!"
Chen Long turned around and walked to the back, intending to find a place with no people and transform into a green dragon. That way, it would be easy.
At this moment, a melodious voice came from behind Chen Long.
"That person, wait a moment, are you big sister Xiao Xuan's friend?"
Chen Long turned his head and saw a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old walking out from the gate of the Xia clan. She was dressed in casual clothes and had a delicate and pretty face. She bore a slight resemblance to Xia Xiaoxuan.
"Second Miss!"
When the security guard saw the woman, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Don't listen to her blabbering. How could Eldest Miss possibly know this kind of person? He must be a liar! "
Xia Qingxue?
Chen Long narrowed his eyes and looked over. He had seen a picture of this girl in the file. She was Xiao Xuan's cousin, also known as Xia Kun's daughter.
"Shut up!"
Xia Qingxue coldly shouted and the security guard immediately became silent. However, he secretly glared at Chen Long with undisguised resentment in his eyes.
"Sir, are you really big sister Xiao Xuan's friend?" Xia Qingxue asked.
"That's right!"
Chen Long said indifferently.
"Big sister Xiao Xuan just returned not long ago and you came to visit her. It seems that you have good information. It seems that you aren't lying?!" Xia Qingxue blinked her large eyes and said mischievously.
"Haha …"
In his heart, he had already confirmed that Xia Xiaoxuan was in the Xia Family. However, this Xia Qingxue was the daughter of Xia Kun, why did it seem like she had a good relationship with Xia Xiaoxuan?
Had he missed something?
Seeing that Chen Long was silent, Xia Qingxue slightly furrowed her brows and said: "Sir, follow me in. I hope that what you said is true. Otherwise, it is very possible that you will suffer!"
"Oh?"
Chen Long snorted. He didn't know whether to answer or to answer, but the feeling of being at ease was very strong.
Of course, Chen Long was a God Realm master. The Xia family was only a small clan, but they could slaughter him easily. It was just a fantasy story that would make things difficult for him.
After saying that, Xia Qingxue turned around and walked in. Chen Long narrowed his eyes and followed her with his legs.
However, when he passed by the security guard, there was a flash of green light and the guard disappeared.
When Chen Long's figure had completely disappeared into the depths of the Xia clan's territory, a mournful cry could be heard …
"Since you are proud of your strength, then enjoy the life of an ordinary person!"
Chen Long didn't pay any attention to him. He didn't feel a trace of guilt in his heart. The security guard's tone was overbearing. He had always wanted to use his aura to suppress Chen Long to satisfy the sense of achievement in his heart.
That being the case, Chen Long had broken his dantian and dispelled his strength. It was already a miracle that he could survive after offending a God Realm expert.
"Big sister Xiao Xuan has never had any friends, and has been wandering outside for such a long time. Could it be that she's a friend that we've only met recently?" Xia Qingxue guessed as she glanced at Chen Long from the corner of her eyes.
Naturally, Chen Long could also sense her little actions, but he didn't pay it much mind. It was just an ordinary little girl, nothing more than that, she wouldn't be able to threaten him.
Xia Qingxue looked at Chen Long's bland face and couldn't help but think: "This person is really strange. He is clearly not dressed as a rich person but he isn't surprised at all. Could he be a disciple of some big family that big sister Xiao Xuan knows outside?"
Just like that, the two of them walked down the path of the Xia clan. There were many people coming and going; both of them were dressed extravagantly. There were at least 500,000 tags on them, making it seem as if there was some sort of activity.
Chen Long also felt the doubt in their eyes, as well as the faintly discernible disdain. He found it hard to accept it in his heart. Was it easy to get rid of this young master who had spent tens of thousands on him?
However, thinking about it, being treated as a street vendor when the difference was more than ten times compared to the other person's clothes wasn't anything strange.
Therefore, Chen Long felt relieved. He thought that when he went out in the future, he must prepare some clothes worth millions to blind these people's golden eyes!
Seeing Chen Long not say anything, Xia Qingxue felt a little stuffy, so she gently smiled and said: "Sir, my name is Xia Qingxue, I haven't asked for your name yet!"
"Chen Long!" Chen Long whispered.
Soon after, Xia Qingxue saw that Chen Long did not say anything else, so she could only find another topic to talk about. Looking at the bustling scene around, she asked: "Mr. Chen, do you know what day our Xia Family is today?"
"What day?" Chen Long asked.
Xia Qingxue lightly smiled and said: "Today is the engagement day between big sister Xiaoxuan and the young master of the Lu family!"
