Chapter 1387 Meeting Qin Qianqian's Father Again
"Closed? But how can I close it? This business isn't just mine. My word doesn't count, and you know there are several of us. I don't have absolute authority," Zhu Mingchuan said aggrievedly.
"This..."
Zhu Bingyi glanced at Zhu Mingchuan and continued, "Then withdraw your shares and quit the 'Eight Kings of Kyoto'!"
"I know, I know!" Zhu Mingchuan nodded like pounding garlic. kAnshu伍.ξà
"Mr. Chen, do you think this is acceptable?"
"What's the background of those Eight Kings of Kyoto?" Chen Xuan continued.
Zhu Bingyi said in a deep voice, "Mr. Chen, the Eight Kings of Kyoto have quite a background. They are almost all comprised of the sons of prominent families from the Nine Gates of Kyoto, forming a small circle. Xiao Chuan doesn't hold a high position within it. I heard the decision-making power rests with a young master from the Central Three Gates, but this person rarely shows himself. I've only heard of him, never met him."
"So that's how it is. I'll have to meet this 'King of Turtle' of Kyoto when I have time." Chen Xuan nodded slightly and said faintly.
"Mr. Chen, if there's nothing else, I won't disturb you. I'll take him back,"
Zhu Bingyi glanced at Zhu Mingchuan and said.
Chen Xuan said faintly, "Alright, you can go. But I don't want to be charged a hundred when I'm driving."
Then Zhu Bingyi took Zhu Mingchuan and left.
"Pa pa pa—"
Just as Chen Xuan was about to get off the pirate ship, a round of applause erupted!
"Little brother, you're truly amazing. Those Eight Kings of Kyoto have been troubling us for a long time, but we couldn't afford to offend them, so we had to endure it. Today, you've helped us teach them a lesson!"
"Little brother, thank you!"
Chen Xuan said faintly, "You're too kind! It's my duty to draw my sword when I see injustice!"
His humility drew another round of applause!
"Mr. Chen, I apologize for what happened earlier. My girlfriend was wrong, and I apologize to you on her behalf."
Zhao Dayong pulled Yu Xiaomei over, his face full of sincerity.
"No need to apologize, I didn't take it to heart,"
Chen Xuan said faintly.
He looked at Yu Xiaomei. Yu Xiaomei was sharp-tongued, but she found such a loyal and honest boyfriend as Zhao Dayong. As long as Yu Xiaomei didn't abandon Zhao Dayong, her future life would be safe and happy.
However, looking at Yu Xiaomei's face, Chen Xuan felt that she might not be a stable woman.
He wanted to remind Zhao Dayong, but everyone had their own destiny. Even if he reminded him, it might not change Zhao Dayong's fate, and could even bring about negative changes.
Then, Chen Xuan bid farewell and left with Qin Qianqian from the pirate ship.
"Mr. Chen, that Zhao Dayong is about to die."
"About to die? How can you tell?"
"He's already starting to exude death qi. It won't be long before grim reapers come to claim his soul. Should we help him?"
"You're a grim reaper..."
"Uh... never mind."
Qin Qianqian stuck out her tongue, feeling she should maintain some professional ethics.
Then, Chen Xuan took Qin Qianqian to buy a cup of milk tea, followed by playing other rides. They continued until noon, when they went to a McDonald's fast-food restaurant for hamburgers and cola.
It was lively at noon. They bought many snacks, and Qin Qianqian ate to her heart's content. After a short rest, they played all the remaining rides in the afternoon. Time flew by in a flash, and it was soon evening.
Chen Xuan took Qin Qianqian away from Fantawild Amusement Park.
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, I didn't tell you the truth before."
On the way back, Qin Qianqian looked at Chen Xuan with a face full of apology.
"Are you talking about that Nine Nether Cold Qi?"
"Yes!"
Qin Qianqian was not surprised that Chen Xuan guessed it and explained, "It was my father who took action against you. My dad knew that you didn't let me become a grim reaper, so he came from the underworld to the human world. I tried to persuade him, but he wouldn't listen."
Even though Chen Xuan had almost guessed that Qin Qianqian was the daughter of one of the Ten Yama Kings, he was still very shocked to hear it directly.
Qin Qianqian was actually the daughter of one of the Ten Yama Kings!
"Actually, I'm also partly responsible for this. Otherwise, you would have been able to become a formal grim reaper," Chen Xuan said with a face full of apology.
Although Wei Linlin had his protective amulet at the time, the amulet had a time limit. Once it lost its effect, Wei Linlin would also die. Qin Qianqian could have completely taken Wei Linlin's soul.
Although Qin Qianqian's soul-reaping was a bit late, with Qin Qianqian's status alone, Chen Xuan believed that those so-called underworld assessment officers would not make things difficult for her.
"Perhaps this is my fate. When I came to the human world to complete my mission, my dad had already said that I wouldn't be able to complete it. I didn't believe him, but I didn't expect it to be true."
Qin Qianqian's mood became low, but then she seemed to remember something and said, "Chen Xuan, I have to go back to the underworld soon. I hope we can meet again in the future."
"Go back to the underworld? Aren't you supposed to go back in two days?"
Chen Xuan was startled by this and frowned.
"Some things have happened, and I have to go back immediately."
"Alright, then see you later!"
Halfway there, Chen Xuan stopped the car. Qin Qianqian jumped out of the car, waved at Chen Xuan, then turned and walked away, gradually disappearing from sight.
"I hope we can meet again, but not in hell, of course..."
Chen Xuan said, then turned to walk towards his car. But after a few steps, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his gaze fixed directly on the car, with a trace of frost on his blinking eyelashes.
He felt a familiar cold aura emanating from the car, piercingly cold, making Chen Xuan tremble with fear.
Gulp!
Swallowing hard, Chen Xuan's expression changed, and he muttered, "That guy isn't here again, is he?"
At this moment, Chen Xuan felt an urge to turn around and run.
The last time, if it weren't for Qin Qianqian, he would have been in big trouble. Of course, if there weren't other accidents.
He didn't want to experience that feeling of being cut into a thousand pieces again.
"I should run!"
After thinking about it, Chen Xuan decided to flee. He was human, not a god, so running wouldn't be shameful!
He turned to leave, but suddenly a voice came from behind him: "Why are you going? Come and have a chat..."
The voice was extremely cold and sinister, filled with intense killing intent.
Can we just chat like this?
Don't people and ghosts have different paths?
Chen Xuan wanted to leave, but he knew he couldn't. It was better to face it obediently. He turned and walked back towards the car, approaching it.
He found that the entire car was covered with a thin layer of frost, and wisps of Nine Nether Cold Qi rose from the windows, making the entire car seem like a train to hell, eerie and terrifying.
He grasped the car door handle, and instantly a chilling cold air attacked him, surging into his body, making him shiver.
Enduring the pain, Chen Xuan opened the car door and indeed saw a mass of dim fog sitting in the passenger seat. However, this time, the dim fog seemed much fainter, and the figure within was indistinct, but Chen Xuan couldn't see it clearly.
Taking a breath, Chen Xuan got into the car, sat down, and asked, "I wonder what Uncle Qin wants to see me about?"
This address of "Uncle Qin" made the person in the fog pause for a moment, then say, "It seems Qianqian has already told you. This child is too honest, too trusting of you humans."
