“Mr. Xu. “Chen Fan nodded and didn’t answer his question.
Xu Ao’s face hardened as he was not pleased by Chen Fan, ignoring his question. However, he didn’t want to press the boy for an answer in public. He simply told Chen Fan, “Come find me at the Qin Yang Hotel tonight.”
He then walked past Chen Fan without a word.
Chen Fan and A’Xiu stepped aside to make way for the large crowd. He felt many watchful eyes staring at him, some of those belonging to powerful Internal Force users. However, Chen Fan was not concerned at all.
A brawny bald man was walking side by side with Xu Ao, and he asked, “Lord Xu, who is that kid?”
“A distant nephew. I have no clue what is he doing here.” Xu Ao said with a dark face.
“Hehe, the tournament is very popular among the kids nowadays.” The skinhead smiled and said. “That little girl beside your nephew looked so d.a.m.n hot. If she were not with your nephew, I would have already made a move on her.”
Xu Ao snorted displeasedly.
This skinhead was a rich magnate from the city of Clear Water, and he was well known for his appet.i.te for women. However, he wouldn’t make a fool of himself while Xu Ao was here.
“This boy gets around. He was courting my daughter at the Chu Zhou City while flirting with another girl at the Qin Yang County. I will be blind if I trust my daughter with him.”
So thinking, Xu Ao furrowed his brows as his impression of Chen Fan deteriorated further.
After the big group of people was gone, A’Xiu patted her chest and stuck out the tip of her tongue.
“They are scary people. Especially that Mr. s.h.i.+ny Head. The way he looked at me is scary.”
She said as she gazed at Chen Fan, batting her lashes.
“Brother Chen, do you know them?”
“I have met the leader once; his name is Xu Ao.” Chen Fan said lightly.
“Lord Ao of Hai Dong?” A’Xiu exclaimed, drawing many people’s attention. She grabbed Chen Fan’s arm and urged him to walk away as she asked under her breath. “Do you know Boss Ao?
“Ah, what am I thinking. You are an honored guest of Boss Zhang; It makes sense for you to know Boss Ao.”
“Do you know Xu Ao as well?” Chen Fan asked lightheartedly.
Was Xu Ao really that famous that even a country girl had heard of his name?
After hearing Chen Fan’s question, the smile on A’Xiu’s face disappeared.
“I know a lot of people working for Boss Ao.”
A’Xiu led Chen Fan through an old district and arrived at a plaza just outside of the village.
The plaza was already packed with spectators. There was an equal amount of villagers and visitors. A large stage was set at the center of the plaza for the wrestling compet.i.tion.
The stage was huge, enough for three compet.i.tions to be carried out at one time.
On the stage, a few combatants were wrestling each other. Cheers and applause came from the audiences in fits and starts.
Chen Fan lost interest in the wrestling game very quickly. These were all amateurs, and there were no skills involved in their contest. Most of the combatants had inferior skills to A’Bian much less to the Internal Force users such as Linbao.
As he was about to tell A’Xiu to head back, a girl among the crowd spotted Chen Fan and called out to him.
“Chen Fan?”
Chen Fan paused a second after he saw a girl wearing a broad-brim hat and a pair of sungla.s.ses. He couldn’t recall who this girl was
“Do I know you?”
“I am Yang Li! Your cousin’s best friend plus roommate. Don’t you remember me?” The city girl took off her sungla.s.ses, revealing a small face with fine features. She was at least as attractive as Chang Wen.
“Ah, Sister Li-Li!” Realization finally dawned up Chen Fan.
The girl was Chen Fan’s cousin, Chen Ning’s roommate. When Chen Fan visited Jin City, his cousin, Chen Ning introduced her to him before. However, that was a good five hundred years ago, and therefore, it took Chen Fan a while to recall the piece of memory.
“I wonder how is my cousin Chen Ning doing.” Chen Fan thought to himself.
