CHAPTER 428: CHAPTER 194 XIAO 2

"Chu Jun, who exactly is this Xiao Er?" Li Xiu asked Chu Jun after Xiao Er left.

Chu Jun replied seriously, "You might not have heard of the Desha Group, but you probably have heard of Dream Diamond, right?"

"You mean the Dream Diamond with diamond stores all over the world?" Li Xiu exclaimed in surprise.

"Dream Diamond is just one of the companies under the Desha Group. In the Hetai Federation, which has the largest reserves of diamonds, more than eighty percent of the diamond mines are controlled by the Desha Group. The Xiao Family is the actual ruler of the Desha Group. Although Xiao Er isn’t the true heir of the Xiao Family, you absolutely shouldn’t underestimate him." Chu Jun explained briefly about Xiao Er’s background.

"The Xiao Family’s wealth is so vast that even if he isn’t the heir, just a small part of it would be enough for ordinary people to strive for generations," Li Xiu laughed.

Chu Jun shook his head and said, "The reason I brought Xiao Er here isn’t because of the Xiao Family, but because of Xiao Er himself. He and I could be considered extremes. I want to become a Magic Armor Master but lack the talent, while he has the talent but doesn’t want to be one, choosing to walk the path of a Trial Taker instead. Honestly, I’m a bit envious; the heavens have truly favored him. His Magic Armor Master talent tested at an S-level when he was young, but he chose not to pursue it and became a Trial Taker, excelling there as well, and is now an S-level Trial Taker, nicknamed ’Little Monster’.

"People vary greatly. Some are smart from a young age, picking things up in an instant. Others don’t learn quickly, not because they’re dumb, but because they haven’t yet had a breakthrough. Having an early breakthrough gives an advantage, but it doesn’t mean those who breakthrough later are worthless," Li Xiu replied.

Chu Jun laughed and jested, "I’m not as slow as those you described."

"Of course not. I’ve already reached D-level; when will you advance to C-level?" Li Xiu laughed.

"No rush, I want to take my time and savor some things thoroughly." Chu Nan paused before continuing, "The Desha Group has deep cooperative ties with our White Night City, and the Chu and Xiao families are quite close. So I know a bit about Xiao Er; he’s very rebellious. However, if you can genuinely win his respect, he’d be a worthy friend. Don’t be fooled by today’s politeness; it means he doesn’t truly recognize you yet. He’s giving you all that money to show it’s purely an exchange of interests."

"So he’s flaunting by deliberately giving me so much money," Li Xiu chuckled, "But I don’t mind if he wants to act high and mighty. I’d rather take the money than deal with those who are both pretentious and greedy."

"True, someone like Xiao Er is quite decent compared to some family members who act saintly yet don’t spare a bone for the poor, their mouths bloody," Chu Jun laughed.

"By the way, there’s something I need to tell you. If possible, could you accompany me to White Night City?" Li Xiu told Chu Jun about the Vase Monster and the Suihou Bead.

Chu Jun listened and asked, "Are you sure the Rolling Dragon Slope the Vase Monster mentioned is the Good Luck Slope south of White Night City now?"

"I’ve compared it carefully, and it should be the spot," Li Xiu noticed something off in Chu Jun’s expression.

"That’s troublesome. If you wanted to go somewhere else, I could arrange it. But going to Good Luck Slope is tricky. The owner there is mysterious, and even I don’t know much. My father specifically warned me not to disturb those living there and advised not to have any interaction, but he didn’t say why," Chu Jun said with difficulty.

"So even if there is a Suihou Bead, it must already belong to someone," Li Xiu said with some disappointment.

Such a mysterious individual living at Rolling Dragon Slope, yet not a member of the Chu Family, is already suspicious.

"Don’t rush; I’ll find time to ask my father and get some details," Chu Jun said.

"Alright." Li Xiu nodded, determined that if he couldn’t rely on Chu Jun to gain access, he would personally visit the owner of Good Luck Slope.

But he’d wait for Chu Jun to inquire first. Meanwhile, with nothing pressing, he could deal with Xiao Er, as he couldn’t take the money for nothing. Xiao Er wasn’t truly extravagant, and after spending so much, he would certainly not let the matter rest without some results.

After handling matters at the City Lord’s Mansion, Li Xiu arranged for Xiao Er to attend a class with him in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, Xiao Er arrived as promised, and Li Xiu led him to a newly constructed indoor arena at the Demon Spirit Arena.

The Demon Spirit Arena was under continuous expansion. The second tournament would be much larger, with more varied events to include everything.

"Teacher, do you need to see my demon spirits first?" Xiao Er asked.

"Sure, summon all your demon spirits." Li Xiu was curious to see what kind of demon spirits other Trial Takers had.

Although Li Xiu anticipated that Xiao Er’s demon spirits would be numerous and of good quality...

He was still surprised when Xiao Er summoned all his demon spirits.
