Anna rubbed her head with a wronged expression and huffed, "I get it, it's all about the 'cash power'! Although my family is wealthy, my dad would never be this extravagant."
"Special times require special measures, I usually am very frugal," Xu Hao said with a smile.
"Yeah, right! Who believes that? You spent tens of billions on those few rings, who would believe you're frugal?" Anna said with a pout, having never seen Xu Hao be frugal.
Xu Hao was at a loss for words, shook his head, and didn't retort, realizing that he indeed never knew the meaning of frugality.
But then again, with so much wealth at home, not spending it properly now and dying before it's all gone when real danger arrives would be such a regret!
After all, "One should enjoy life when things are going well, and not let the golden cup face the moon in vain!"
The two flight attendants overheard their conversation and exchanged glances. They both felt that while they were all human, why was there such a big difference?
They stood by Xu Hao and Anna's side, and even though Xu Hao had told them to sit, they did not; they remained on standby, ready to serve him at any moment.
Unfortunately, until they got off the plane, Xu Hao did not ask for any service. He just sat there, seemingly resting with his eyes closed, while only Anna was restless, both hands and mouth ceaselessly busy, practically filling the entire trash bin.
This was Chen Suyi's third day in Fusang Country.
Behind her followed a woman with an extremely cold countenance, wrapped in a long robe, which made it impossible to discern her figure.
Chen Suyi was shopping at a mall and said as she walked, "Ruyue, it's been three days since we arrived in Fusang Country. How do you feel about this place?"
Ruyue's voice was cold as frost, and she indifferently said, "Average."
She didn't seem to be fond of talking much.
"What do you mean by 'average'?" Chen Suyi continued to ask as if to tease Ruyue into talking more.
Ruyue slightly frowned but still said, "Everyone is arrogant, seemingly brimming with confidence, but in reality, they are hollow inside. Once their confidence is shattered, they become a disorganized mob."
"Spot on!" Chen Suyi repeatedly praised, laughing, "My grandpa evaluates them the same way. Though some may be different, the difference is minimal. The trait of Fusang Country people is really pronounced; they lack inner confidence, so their appearance has to exude utmost confidence. It's when they're at their most imposing."
Ruyue nodded slightly and said, "Elder Chen's insight is naturally sharp. Being in agreement with his view is an honor for Ruyue."
Chen Suyi said somewhat helplessly, "Ruyue, is everyone from Xuanmen ? Cold and with such a formal way of speaking?"
Ruyue said, "Personalities differ, as do the cultivation techniques one chooses. The cultivation techniques, in turn, affect one's personality."
"Then why do you speak so formally?" Chen Suyi inquired further. Findthesourceofthischapterat*.
"Because most of what I read and study are ancient texts and documents," Ruyan replied, her frown deepening.
"Really? I wonder what cultivation technique that rascal Xu Hao practices. He's quite forceful when fighting people," Chen Suyi said.
"Xu Hao? Is it the young Xu Hao, who already possesses Grandmaster strength?" Ruyue asked.
"Yes, that's him. Xu Hao is very young. Do you know him?! But he isn't at Grandmaster level though!" Chen Suyi was astounded. Ruyue came from Xuanmen, which was all female; she shouldn't have anything to do with Xu Hao, right?
How did she know about Xu Hao?
And since when did Xu Hao reach Grandmaster level?
Could it be that this Xu Hao isn't the Xu Hao she knew?
Just as Chen Suyi was about to look up and continue talking, Ruyue suddenly put her hand over her mouth and whispered, "We're being followed, keep quiet!"
Chen Suyi nodded quickly, and it was only after Ruyue removed her hand that she whispered back, "Since entering Fusang Country, I've felt that something is not right here. Now that someone is following us, I suspect we have been targeted from the first day we arrived. I didn't say anything at that time because I wasn't sure."
"Ah? What should we do?" Chen Suyi whispered.
At this moment, she was somewhat flustered.
"Don't worry, I possess Great Perfection Mastery Level strength, nearing a Half step Grandmaster. Even if a Grandmaster were to come, I could hold on for a while. Moreover, there are only those three renowned Grandmasters in Fusang Country, who haven't appeared in the world for many years; it's a question whether they are still alive or not. Hence, others are not a concern." As a disciple from a major sect like Xuanmen, Ruyue had extreme confidence.
But her confidence was based on solid preparation; from her sparse words, one could tell that she had made ample preparations for this trip.
Ruyue continued, "If this trip were to the Island Country, I would definitely stop you because, unlike Fusang Country's pretense, Island Country has truly powerful people. One must be extremely cautious there."
Chen Suyi held tightly onto Ruyue's delicate hand and nodded as they walked, "You're right. But if it were Xu Hao, he'd definitely just whisk me away directly without second thought."
