Chapter 832 Another Test at the Dinner Table
Chapter 832 Another Test at the Dinner Table
Chu Chen smiled after hearing this, thinking to himself, "That's for sure. He's at least a master at the peak of the Celestial Realm. Who wouldn't want to know him?"
Moreover, this so-called Zhao Dezhu, apart from being somewhat outgoing, has not yet shown any malice.
Zhao Xuan'er, who was by his side, was also deeply loved by Chu Chen.
Such an eccentric yet powerful team—if you could be on good terms with them, who would want to offend them?
Moreover, even if they harbor ill intentions towards you, knowing yourself and your enemy is always a good thing. If a fight breaks out someday, you will understand things better and have more ways to deal with it.
"No, no, I'm just an ordinary person. How would I know anything about cultivation levels? I just felt that he was very powerful!"
"Hehe, this child has a tragic past. I raised him from a young age, so he can be considered half a son of this old man."
"Hmm... then Xuan'er?"
Chu Chen immediately thought of a problem: he was raised from a young age, so he wasn't his biological child!
"Hehe, Xuan'er was also picked up by the old man. She's sixteen this year, and she's very clever and mischievous. I'll raise her as my granddaughter!"
"Then Uncle Zhao, your biological son...?"
"Haha, the old man lives alone, where would he get any biological children? Kid, are you trying to trick me?"
After listening, Zhao Dezhu immediately changed the subject and looked at Chu Chen to ask.
"No, no, we've known each other for a while, we should at least get to know each other better!"
"That's true. We people who travel the world will inevitably come into contact with many people in our lives, and some of them won't even tell you their real name."
After hearing this, Chu Chen thought to himself, "You're kidding me."
So he quickly replied, "Perhaps they have their own difficulties, as long as they're not a bad person!"
"Haha, as long as you're not a bad person at heart, that's fine. How about we become sworn brothers?"
"Fuck off!"
After saying that, Chu Chen casually flung the lure into the sea and then began to twitch his hands repeatedly.
A moment later, Zhao Xuan'er pointed at the sea and shouted, "Brother, it's here! Brother, you're so amazing!"
Watching the fish jumping around on the deck, Zhao Xuan'er was so excited that she jumped up and down.
Zhao Dezhu frowned as he watched, thinking to himself that if he had known Chu Chen had such great charm, Zhao Xuan'er would never have arranged for them to meet.
However, before Zhao Dezhu could even think, the pole in his hand suddenly sank, and a tremendous pulling force was immediately transmitted to his hand.
"Haha, I've got a fish."
Hearing the sound of the wheels losing power, Zhao Dezhu immediately became flustered.
"Hold on, Uncle Zhao, draw the bow; it'll run out of power once it's out of the water!"
For a moment, the group seemed to forget all their troubles. Sure enough, fishing was the best way to clear their minds.
Two hours later, Zhao Dezhu and Chu Chen sat down on the deck, looking at the fish in the bucket with satisfied smiles on their faces.
Chu Chen casually took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.
"Damn it, if we could fish every day, who would want to work!"
"Hehe, Brother Chen, you can't say that. If you, me, and they all fish every day, then who will create everything and create the future in this world?"
"Hahaha, creation? What does that have to do with me!"
After Chu Chen finished speaking, he took a deep drag on his cigarette and then threw the cigarette butt into the sea: "Let's go, stew some fish, and drink some wine!"
After saying that, he picked up the bucket, took Zhao Xuan'er's hand, and strode towards the third floor with an air of indifference.
Zhao Dezhu stood behind, holding two fishing rods, a complex expression on his face.
He thought to himself, "This kid probably only went fishing once and then stopped doing anything else. In this state, I won't be able to achieve what I want."
It seems I can't continue fishing with him tomorrow. Sure enough, once a fishing enthusiast gets addicted, he doesn't even want to get married!
Soon after, on the third deck, everyone gathered around a large pot that was bubbling with steam, drinking wine and eating fish.
Even the mute brother who had never appeared before was called to the table by Zhao Dezhu.
They ate fish and drank wine with gusto!
"Brother Chen, we'll be arriving at the Xuan Tian Continent in less than half a month. Do you have anywhere to go?"
During the meal, Zhao Dezhu looked at Chu Chen and asked slowly.
"Heh, as long as you have money in your pocket, why worry about not having a home?"
“That makes sense. As long as we merchants have enough money, we can always find a place to settle down.”
"I see you're all alone, why don't you come back with me and continue drinking every day?"
Zhao Dezhu looked at Chu Chen with a sincere expression and extended an invitation.
"Yes, brother, come with us, so you can keep Xuan'er company!"
Looking at the little girl in front of him, Chu Chen thought to himself, "You're really not afraid that I'm a bad guy?"
Thinking of this, Chu Chen remembered the woman named Yi Yun again, and thought to himself that he should have taken out his camera and taken a few pictures, so that he could look for her on the ship.
For some reason, this was the first time Chu Chen had this feeling.
He didn't believe that after going through so much, he still had any so-called love; he just wanted to turn that one night of tenderness into nightly revelry.
That's right, Chu Chen also told himself that women would only slow down his speed of drawing his sword.
"Brother Chen, is something on your mind?"
"No, someone like me wouldn't have any worries!"
"Hehe, I see Brother Chen looks very worried. Why don't you tell me, and I'll analyze it for you!"
After listening, Chu Chen took a swig of wine and said, "Haha, why are you so long-winded, old man? Are you going to drink this or not?"
Seeing that Chu Chen was unwilling to talk, Zhao Dezhu immediately shut his mouth, then picked up his wine glass and downed a glass in one gulp.
"Brother Chen, I heard that the young master of the Beast Taming Sect on the Xuan Tian Continent is willing to pay ten thousand gold coins to obtain information about Chu Chen. Why don't you keep an eye out for him? If we're lucky, we'll be rich after we finish this deal and never have to run around like this again."
"Oh, Chu Chen, we don't know him either!"
Upon hearing Zhao Dezhu's question, Chu Chen immediately pretended to be deaf and dumb and replied.
"Haha, no problem, I happen to have a portrait of this person, so I'll give it to you!" After saying that, Zhao Dezhu took out a portrait from his bag.
Chu Chen took a look and thought to himself that the technique was better this time, but still not enough.
"Brother, the person in this portrait looks just like you!"
Zhao Xuan'er glanced at Chu Chen and spoke, but was scolded by Zhao Dezhu.
"Xuan'er, don't talk nonsense. This will bring great trouble to your brother Qingxuan."
Chu Chen smiled and put the portrait away without saying a word, but in his heart, he began to have doubts about Zhao Dezhu and the other two people in front of him again.
But why did they test me so many times? If I were an ordinary merchant, I would have tipped them off long ago with 10,000 gold.
However, what he didn't know was that Bu Jingtian had been racking his brains over this matter of ten thousand gold pieces.
"Young Master, this time it really is Chu Chen, right...?"
