I Am Born With A Sliver Spoon

Chapter 754

After that, Chen Hao left with Shen Piaopiao.

Watching Chen Hao’s back as he was leaving, Wan Xue experienced palpitations in her heart again.

It might be mere a coincidence if it had happened to her only once or twice. However, was it still a coincidence if it happened to her for the third time?

It was illogical if her perfect man turned out to be this ordinary man before her instead of Young Master Li.

Wan Xue was in a dilemma.

“This man is unusual!” commented Uncle Bai suddenly in a solemn tone.

“Huh? Uncle Bai, what do you mean?” asked Wan Xue in shock. The fact that Uncle Bai was a highly- skilled fighter was known to Wan Xue. However, he had yet to enter the realm of Cultivation.

“Didn’t you notice something about him just now?” asked Uncle Bai grimly while watching Chen Hao’s back with a stern face.

“What was there to notice?”

“That demonized bull was very hostile and aggressive. Even Young Master Li and Cultivator Mo could not fight that bull. Just now, it could have killed everyone, including you, Miss Wan. Your life was directly threatened. However, at the most crucial moment, the demonized bull stopped in its tracks!” explained Uncle Bai.

“Exactly, Wan Xue. Just now, you didn’t manage to see it in time. Not only did the demonized bull stop moving, it even looked like it had caught sight of something frightening!” added Xiuxiu.

Wan Xue’s heart was filled with even more shock and doubt.

“What you guys are saying is, the demonized bull ran away because it was afraid of this guy named Chen Hao? That’s why we managed to survive?” asked Wan Xue inquisitively.

How could that be possible? Chen Hao looked just like any other ordinary guy.

In fact, in the beginning, when she thought Chen Hao was her true love as predicted by the fortune teller, she looked down on him.

After all, all girls had a certain expectation of their perfect man.

This was especially so for Wan Xue as the fortune teller had painted a very rosy picture for her.

When there was such a large discrepancy between her expectations and reality, it was normal for her to be slightly upset.

Naturally, she was not interested in him.

Obviously, Chen Hao was a disappointment for her.

Therefore, Wan Xue was instinctively repulsed by the idea of Chen Hao being her perfect man.

“I still find it hard to believe that he scared the demonized bull away. I think there must be some other reason…”

She continued, “However, I should be thankful for the girl’s effort earlier. If it wasn’t for her, I might not have survived!” said Wan Xue indifferently while blushing slightly.

At the same time, her interest toward Chen Hao was piqued.

She just refused to admit it.

As for Uncle Bai, he said nothing else other than the fact that he might have mistaken it.

Obviously, people from the Wan Family had already heard about the incident. Highly-skilled fighters from the family were sent out to protect Wan Xue and also trace the location of the demonized bull.

As the Underground Ceremony was just around the corner, the members of the Wan Family were being extra vigilant.

As for Chen Hao, he returned to the Shen Family’s place after he left the Salvaged Dragon Villa.

Just as he arrived, he caught sight of a group of contemptuous-looking people leaving the Shen Family’s residence.

The person who was sending them off was Shen Tiangang. His wrinkled face was filled with awkwardness.

After some questioning, it was revealed that the group of people earlier consisted of the members in the Wan Family’s management team.

Shen Tiangang was assigned the task of getting a hold of a ticket to the Underground Ceremony by Chen Hao.

Therefore, he was very serious in carrying out this task. He purposely invited people from the Wan Family over to check on some information.

However, people from the Wan Family treated the Shen Family with disdain. Following that, it was certain that they would not help with getting the ticket.

That was what led to the scene Chen Hao witnessed just now.

Without the ticket, Chen Hao believed he could still barge into the ceremony with his own devices.

However, that was totally unnecessary.

The lesson he learnt from various past experiences was the importance of keeping a low-profile.

He would never be reckless and rash anymore.

“Mr. Chen, I’m so sorry that I can’t even accomplish such a simple task that you assigned to me!”

Shen Tiangang’s face was filled with self-reproach.

“Uncle Shen, you don’t have to apologize. Seeing the current situation, joining the Underground Ceremony as representees of the Shen Family would hardly work. I’m thinking of bringing Lin Jiu and joining forces with another prominent family. This would be much more convenient!” said Chen Hao.

“Sir, are you saying that we should join forces with the Wan Family? Now that the Duan Family has already been destroyed by you, the Wan Family is the largest among the suitable families left in Ji Province. On top of that, they are the organizers of the ceremony!” said Lin Jiu who was next to Chen Hao.

“Yes, that is my intention. Lin Jiu, do you know the master of the Wan Family?” asked Chen Hao.

“I don’t know him. On the surface, the Wan Family might seem like just a prominent family. However, it seems like they do have the support of a Cultivator family. Many lone Cultivators wouldn’t be bold enough to offend people from the Wan Family as they are afraid of the Cultivator family backing them. Of course, there are numerous highly-skilled fighters who joined the Wan Family because of that too. There are around four to five First Tier Cultivators like us who had joined the Wan Family. According to rumors, even some Third Tier Cultivators had joined them!” explained Lin Jiu.

“I’ve got it!” Chen Hao nodded his head.

As expected by him, he could not afford to underestimate the forces behind some of the families.

The Salvaged Dragon Villa was crowded with many highly-skilled Cultivators as per what Lin Jiu had mentioned before. It seemed like the Underground Ceremony would be a very lively event.

At that moment, a luxurious car pulled to a stop in front of the Shen Family’s house.

An elderly man alighted from the luxurious car.

“It’s him!”

Shen Piaopiao could not help but exclaim.

The elderly man was the one she had seen earlier. He was Uncle Bai, the one who was standing beside Wan Xue.

“My name is Bai Zizai. I was instructed by Miss Wan to invite Miss Shen and Mr. Tan to Miss Wan’s birthday dinner party at the Wan Family’s residence tonight.”

After he finished speaking, he handed them two invitation cards.

“Huh? Is she the daughter of the Wan Family?” asked Shen Piaopiao in shock.

Uncle Bai nodded his head and answered, “Yes. Miss Wan had a narrow escape earlier today thanks to your efforts! Therefore, please do attend the birthday party tonight!” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Chen Hao took a look at the invitation cards in his hands.

At that moment, Lin Jiu whispered in Chen Hao’s ear, “Sir, we got everything we need without any effort! Wan Xue is Wan Yaozong’s most beloved daughter. If she is inviting you to attend her birthday party, you no longer have to worry about getting the ticket!”

Chen Hao nodded his head.

Although he was puzzled as to why Wan Xue would invite him out of the blue, he would still make the trip to the Wan Family’s place personally.

This was great.

On one hand, he could get to know Wan Xue’s motive of inviting him.

On the other hand, he could utilize this opportunity to get himself a ticket.

“Well, Uncle Bai, please do me a favor and convey my message to Miss Wan Xue and say that I will be there tonight!”

Chen Hao nodded his head and smiled.

After Uncle Bai had left, Lin Jiu intended to carry on his training with the disciples of the Shen Family.

At that moment, Chen Hao called out his name. “Lin Jiu, please don’t go first. I have some questions for you,” he said..

“Sir, what’s the matter?” asked Lin Jiu in bewilderment.
