Chapter 281
"Well, um..." Chen Huai'an hesitated for a moment, then quickly responded, "Call me Chairman! You can refer to me as Chen Dong!"
"Sure thing, Chen Dong!" Li Qingran straightened her back, her pretty face serious.
She didn’t quite know why.
It just felt natural to say it that way.
【So this young lady is the financial backer of our Demon-Slaying Division?】 Zhao Ying's eyes lit up as she appraised Li Qingran from head to toe: 【Every inch of her figure is perfectly proportioned; one more pound would make her plump, one less would make her thin. Her skin is as smooth and flawless as jade...】
【This is the kind of beauty only cultivators from hidden sects possess!】
She had long wondered how Chen Huai'an could get his hands on resources like the Xisui Dan (洗髓丹, a cleansing elixir for cultivation).
Now, the mystery was solved.
These resources truly came from hidden sects.
Just look at the jade token hanging from the waist of this youthful cultivator, with the character "Sword" (剑) elegantly inscribed on it.
Could it be from the Sword Sect or the Sword Pavilion?
As for how Chen Dong got to know her?
It was simple.
Zhao Ying adjusted her glasses and shot Chen Huai'an an admiring glance.
This was the reason the Chairman was pouring money into the game!
They had thought Chen Huai'an was just wasting his time.
Now they understood.
He had found a romantic connection in the game, and it had blossomed into reality.
And that connection was standing right in front of them.
She must be the 'innocent' girl, just out of the hidden sect, curious about the outside world and starting to explore online games—this 'ancestor'!
Truly impressive!
While others were still figuring out how to enter hidden sects, their Chairman had already solved the problem at its root!
Zhao Ying was in awe.
Chen Huai'an exchanged a glance with Zhao Ying.
Seeing the meaningful look in each other's eyes left them both momentarily stunned.
Wait a minute.
What were Zhao Ying and Xiang Xiaoyuan imagining now? If only they had mind-reading abilities, they could see what these subordinates were always whispering about.
Zhao Ying stepped forward, bowing deeply to Li Qingran with warmth and respect. "Ancestor... uh, I mean, sister, from now on we’re family! Today, Xiaoyuan and I will cook for you, so please do us the honor!"
Looking at this beautiful and enthusiastic girl, Li Qingran felt a bit overwhelmed.
She had been cautious around Zhao Ying and Xiang Xiaoyuan.
After all, they were adults, unlike Lin Ling, and had the ability to flirt with men... Yet here they were, treating her like one of their own!
Li Qingran suddenly felt a pang of guilt, as if she were a small-minded person misjudging a noble heart. Biting her pink lip, she blushed and awkwardly clasped her hands together, saying, "Um... from now on, please take care of me too!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her earlobes turned bright red.
The people here seemed just as kind as those from the Sword Pavilion.
No wonder her master treated them so well~
Hehe, I like it!
