Top-notch forces from all over the longevity world gathered in the Forest of Star Sea, and the port on the island was full of starships.
Just now, an open-air venue in the center of the island has welcomed guests from all walks of life one after another.
This venue was built against the towering trees on the island. It does not look luxurious, but has a more clean and healthy charm.
Everyone knows that Senior Xuanwu is the longest-lived creature in the world of longevity and has always been pure and inactive. It is not surprising that he would choose to hold a banquet in such a place.
"It's been two days. Mr. Chen has never come back since he left. Now the Xuanwu Banquet is about to begin. What on earth is he thinking?"
At the entrance of the venue, a group of people from the Qi family had just entered the venue. Chu Meixin, who was walking at the end, whispered to Granny Shu.
"This matter is indeed a bit strange. In the worst case scenario, he may be dead." Granny Shu looked around in the venue, pretending to be curious, while transmitting messages to Chu Meixin in her mind.
"Dead? With his strength, would he die so easily? How did my mother-in-law make this judgment?"
Chu Meixin looked moved, but she didn't want to believe it in her heart.
It was rare for someone of her age to have someone who surpassed her in every aspect. She was using him as a motivation to spur herself on, but he suddenly died. This was really hard to accept.
"I'm just guessing. Haven't you noticed that after Mr. Chen disappeared, the Qi family's Xuanzu also became a little strange?" Granny Shu said meaningfully.
"What's so strange? Mr. Chen has been in a good mood since he disappeared, but this is human nature." Chu Meixin said thoughtfully.
"That's not what I'm talking about, but his attitude towards us."
Granny Shu glanced at Xuanzu of the Qi family not far ahead, who was chatting and laughing with the leaders of various forces.
"We originally came here by using Young Master Chen's help to squeeze out the quota of the Qi family. However, in the two days since Young Master Chen disappeared, the attitude of the Xuanzu of the Qi family towards us has not changed. Don't you think it's strange?"
"Maybe he is aware of her mother-in-law's strength and doesn't want to show off her face." Chu Meixin thought.
"I don't think he has that kind of vision. If he did, he should have come to Qi's house by himself when we first arrived."
"Also, although he seems to be ignoring us, I have noticed his prying eyes several times. In my opinion, he must have been instructed by someone to spy on us."
Grandma Shu's five senses are frighteningly sharp. If the Qi family's Xuanzu heard these words, his face would change drastically.
"Could it be Mr. Chen's order? Although we have reached an agreement with him, we both know that it has no binding force." Chu Meixin guessed again.
"Do you know how I judged that Mr. Chen might be dead?"
Granny Shu sat down in the position as arranged by the maid, and tapped the ground lightly with the crutch she was leaning on.
"Then Xuanzu of the Qi family has been in an extremely good mood these past two days. He doesn't seem to be controlled by others at all. If Mr. Chen hadn't had an accident, how could his attitude have changed like this?"
"Based on his attitude towards us, I'm afraid someone killed Mr. Chen on his behalf and asked him to work for him to monitor us."
Granny Shu actually guessed the truth of the matter almost exactly.
"If that's the case, isn't our situation very dangerous?"
Chu Meixin's expression became serious. Her mother-in-law's idea was very bold, but she knew it was entirely possible.
"To be able to kill Mr. Chen, the person behind it is indeed very difficult. Now that we are under surveillance again, the situation is indeed quite bad."
"However, the situation on this island is complicated. Since the other party did not take direct action, they must have some concerns. Let's take it step by step."
"If nothing can be done, I will give priority to escorting you out of here, so as not to disturb the muddy waters of the Chaos Secret Land."
Grandma Shu sighed.
"But the opportunity of the Secret Land of Chaos, if you miss it this time, you may never have the opportunity again."
Chu Meixin pursed her lips when she heard this. They had come all the way to the longevity world, how could they be willing to return empty-handed?
"Ah, what a beautiful girl!"
Chu Meixin was conversing with Grandma Shu via voice transmission when a bohemian voice suddenly came from beside her.
She turned around and saw a fat man with a group of guards, looking like a second-generation ancestor, striding towards her, his eyes shining.
"Hey, it's Qian Darong of the Qian family. Where is the ancestor of the Qian family? When did this fat man take charge of the Qian family?"
"Don't you know? The ancestor of the Qian family passed away two months ago, and now this fat man is in charge of the Qian family."
"The ancestor of the Qian family has passed away? This is big news. It's a pity that Qian Darong has never been reliable. I'm afraid the Qian family will decline."
"Shh! Fatty Qian is here, don't let him hear it."
Some guests at the table next to him were whispering, but when Fatty Qian approached, they all shut up.
"I wonder what this girl's name is?"
Fatty Qian came to Chu Meixin and said flatteringly. He even swallowed his saliva while speaking.
Chu Meixin instinctively felt very uncomfortable. The way the fat man looked at her felt a little obscene for some reason.
She turned her head and ignored it. There were many things worthy of her attention at the Xuanwu Banquet, and she had no time to pay attention to a lustful person.
Seeing that Chu Meixin ignored her, Fatty Qian was not angry and kicked an elder who was sitting at the same table with her.
"Go! Sit somewhere else. I want this place."
The elder of the Qi family was so angry that his face was livid, but he held it back and turned to consult the Xuanzu of the Qi family.
The Qian family is the richest family in the world of longevity. Before his death, the ancestor of the Qian family was also the longest-lived person except the senior Xuanwu.
It is said that the Qian family's wealth is as high as the heavens, and its business has spread all over the world under Lei County, and even to other counties. It can be said that its influence is greater than that of the Qi family.
He would not dare to offend such a family rashly.
"Give the position to him."
Xuanzu of the Qi family smiled and gave some instructions to the elders, obviously not angry.
The elder had no choice but to find another seat, and Fatty Qian sat down next to Chu Meixin openly.
"Old Master Qian has just passed away, so Mr. Qian and his family would like to express their condolences."
Xuanzu of the Qi family was in a good mood these past two days and took the initiative to talk to Fatty Qian.
"Thank you for your concern, fellow Taoist Qi." Fatty Qian replied with a smile, not even the slightest hint of sadness.
Seeing this attitude, Xuanzu of the Qi family snorted inwardly. In any case, he and the ancestor of the Qian family were of the same generation. It was really impolite for this fat man to refer to him as a peer.
However, he also roughly knew what kind of person the other party was. He was greedy for money, lustful, and had mediocre cultivation. If such a guy was in charge of the Qian family, the Qian family was destined to decline, so there was no need to argue with him.
Compared with him, there were many things worthy of his attention in this Xuanwu Banquet.
Fatty Qian barely had a few words with Qi Family Xuanzu before he focused entirely on Chu Meixin and kept trying to talk to her.
