Douluo Continent: The World Shines with Stars

Chapter 30 Adventure Team

"What? You want me to be a guest at the Chen family's house?"

Xu Mingxi had just rested for one night at the Qingyin Inn. He had been traveling by carriage for more than ten days and was exhausted.

Just as dawn broke, a servant knocked on the door, saying that the head of the Chen family wanted to see him.

Xu Mingxi wanted to go; it was a good opportunity to get in touch with the Chen family. However, just thinking about the troublesome woman he had saved yesterday gave him a headache.

"Young master, the patriarch has already prepared a banquet at the manor and instructed me to invite you there."

"Okay, wait a moment."

While Xu Mingxi went inside to tidy up, the Chen family mansion erupted in chaos.

"Yun'er, how could you invite that boy to our door in my name?"

"What, can't I use your name?"

Chen Rudong almost wanted to shout that this was completely unreasonable. Was this what he meant? His daughter was clearly infatuated, and he still invited him over.

"Yun'er, I haven't investigated this boy's background yet, and we don't even know his cultivation level. How can we let our daughter come into contact with him so easily?"

Chen Rudong recalled asking his daughter about Xu Mingxi yesterday.

As it turned out, Chen Qinghuang didn't even know his soul power level, except for saying that he was handsome and gentle.

He was really troubled; he should have let his daughter travel more.

"Regardless of whose family he is, he saved our Qinghuang, so he is an honored guest of the Chen family. Chen Rudong, do you have any objections?"

"Yun'er, I was just thinking of having Qingting and Qingfeng go and invite them themselves."

"How dare you say that? Qinghuang has disappeared, and your two precious sons are still busy cultivating."

Xue Yun felt a headache coming on when she thought of the two little devils in her family. They were thirty years old and all they wanted to do was explore some secret place. None of the men in this family gave her any peace of mind.

While the couple was still arguing, Chen Qinghuang was already waiting for her Mingxi brother at the door.

As soon as Xu Mingxi got off the carriage, she rushed out and grabbed his hand, pulling him into the house.

Unable to break free, Xu Mingxi could only let her pull him inside, secretly observing the entire Chen residence as they walked.

"Brother Mingxi, I've been waiting for you for so long! Why did it take you so long to come?"

"Yes, yes, it's been quite a while."

It's been so long! We only parted ways yesterday, and now it's time for breakfast.

Xu Mingxi was dragged to the main hall, where she saw a burly man and a gentle, graceful woman talking.

Upon seeing the two enter, they stopped talking. The lady warmly invited Xu Mingxi to sit down, while the man looked him up and down, seemingly quite displeased.

"You must be Mingxi. You are quite handsome. How old are you? What is your cultivation level? Where do you live?"

Good grief, they're checking my household registration from a distance! Xu Mingxi finally understood why some men and women on blind dates always complained about it in her past life.

"Um, Auntie, I have no plans to get married."

Oh no, I said the wrong thing. How did I blurt out what was on my mind?

Xu Mingxi felt inexplicably uncomfortable, while Xue Yun was stunned by his direct words.

A young girl's heart quietly shattered, and a father's eyes suddenly lit up.

The four people in the hall had different expressions, and their feelings were hard to describe. Just when the situation reached an awkward point, someone came to the rescue.

Two burly men pushed open the door and barged in. Xu Mingxi could tell at a glance that they were Chen Rudong's sons.

With his looks and physique, there's absolutely no other possibility. As for whether he's Mrs. Chen's son, Xu Mingxi thinks that's debatable; he hasn't inherited any of the good traits.

"Hey girl, we heard you were attacked. Which bastard did it?" "Yeah, girl, tell us, and we'll avenge you."

Chen Rudong's already not-so-good expression darkened even more. He still hadn't figured out where that Soul Emperor had come from.

He also sent people to investigate the surrounding cities overnight, and the news that came back was almost unanimously that no such person could be found.

This basically leaves only one possibility: that Soul Emperor is a death warrior trained by each family and never revealed in public.

"Qingting, Qingfeng, don't bother your sister. She's upset."

Xue Yun felt heartbroken to see her daughter almost crying, but it was for the best. Xu Mingxi was clearly not an ordinary person and would definitely not accept marrying into the family.

Qinghuang is the most talented member of the Chen family this generation, and she will definitely be the head of the Chen family in the future. It would be better to find a weaker son-in-law to live with them.

"This must be Brother Xu. Thank you for saving our sister. From now on, your business is our business."

"Brother is right."

Alright, I want to destroy the Spirit Hall. You can go in my place.

Xu Mingxi would never say that. The two people in front of him looked silly, how could he bear to let them deliver it?

"You're too kind. It was just a coincidence. I'm sure no one would stand idly by."

Even if it weren't for the Chen family, Xu Mingxi wouldn't stand idly by.

Although he wasn't a particularly kind-hearted person, he had undergone nine years of education and his values ​​were quite correct.

"Hey, Brother Chen, you're out traveling, right? Why don't you join our adventure group?"

Here it comes again. Xue Yun covered her forehead with a headache. Her two sons were good in every way, but all they cared about was cultivation and adventure.

He also formed an adventure group with a few good brothers in the city and traveled around everywhere, rarely home.

An adventure group? Xu Mingxi is interested in this. What if they have a lucky encounter or something? Wouldn't that make them rich?

"My two elder brothers, why don't you explain in detail?"

Chen Qinghuang watched as her Mingxi brother and her two older brothers walked out arm in arm.

Overwhelmed with grief, she burst into tears. Xue Yun stepped forward, patted her daughter's shoulder, and gently comforted her.

She really didn't understand. Were all men the same? Chen Rudong wasn't like this when he was young.

Meanwhile, Xu Mingxi, who had just walked out, listened to Chen Qingting and Chen Qingfeng introduce the adventure team they had formed.

Upon hearing that the group also included members of families from Far East City and several surrounding cities, Xu Mingxi became even more interested.

"Brothers, where do your adventure groups go?"

"Brother Xu, you've come to the right person. We've been to so many places."

The ruins of ancient sects, various dangerous locations, and places rumored to hold hidden treasures are all our targets.

"Oh~, did you two brothers find any treasures?"

"Brother Xu, come here, I'll show you a great treasure."

Xu Mingxi, without suspecting anything, went straight over.

To his surprise, Chen Qingting pulled out something that looked like a cannon barrel.

"Brother Xu, don't underestimate it just because it looks ordinary. When you put soul power into it, it can unleash an attack with a power no less than a full-force strike from a Great Soul Master."

This...this...isn't this a soul tool?
