Both of them stared enviously at the so-called mobile apartnt.
Chu Tian took in their reactions, feeling incredibly pleased with himself. Qian Fanfan’s reaction, in particular, filled his heart with sweetness. After finding out about her background, there are so many things I don’t dare show off! The reason is simple—I’m afraid of embarrassing myself! This feeling was especially strong after seeing Qian Duoduo’s recent behavior. That little fatty popped Elixirs like they were candy—it was so outrageously lavish, so extravagant!
Thinking of the little fatty, Chu Tian glanced over and saw that his attention was once again focused on his Elixirs. His mobile apartnt held almost no appeal for the boy. However, Chu Tian wasn’t the least bit flustered.
At that mont, a recovered Qian Manman asked directly, "How much for this thing, and where can I buy it? Are there any bigger ones available?" His family had nothing if not money. If he could buy sothing like this, it would be incredibly cool. When his friends saw it, their eyes would practically pop out of their heads. The more he thought about it, the more pleased he felt.
Little did he know, Chu Tian shook his head. "As far as I know, it isn’t sold here yet. I hear it’s considered a rare item even in the Heavens Beyond."
"Stop bluffing! If it were so rare, how could you have one? You’re just saying that to hold out for a better price! No matter. This young master has plenty of money. Na your price. I’m buying your mobile apartnt!" Qian Manman made no effort to hide his nouveau riche attitude. He was rich, and he could be willful.
This ti, Qian Fanfan didn’t stop him. Instead, she fixed her gaze on Chu Tian and added, "If Young Master Chu is willing to part with it, I will be sure to rember this favor."
Chu Tian’s expression froze, and a wave of regret washed over him. He wanted to give the mobile apartnt away, but when it ca ti to agree, the words caught in his throat. This thing was a treasure; in the entire Cloud Summit Heavenly Palace, it was likely that only he and Ning Xuan possessed one.
Wait, I’ve got it! Thinking of Ning Xuan, an idea imdiately struck him.
"Miss Qian, if this mobile apartnt were for you, I wouldn’t even ntion money—I’d give it to you for free. But what you don’t know is that it has already bonded with , so it can’t be transferred." Seeing the disappointnt on Qian Fanfan’s face, Chu Tian quickly continued, "However, I know another person who also has a mobile apartnt, and he probably hasn’t bonded with his yet. You could ask him."
Qian Fanfan’s beautiful eyes imdiately lit up. "Who?!" she asked eagerly.
"Ning Xuan!" Chu Tian said, apologizing to him in his heart. Brother Ning, sorry about this. You tricked once, so I’m returning the favor. That’s not too over the top, is it?
"What? My big brother?" Qian Duoduo, who had been shoving a handful of Elixirs into his mouth, let his jaw drop. The pills clattered to the ground as they spilled from his hand.
Chu Tian watched, his heart aching at the sight. And yet, the Qian family mbers didn’t even bat an eye. Damn it! So damn wasteful! Chu Tian was filled with envy, jealousy, and resentnt.
Qian Fanfan turned her head to look at Qian Yourong, and Qian Manman did the sa. They had heard whispers about what happened with the Jun Family. Although they didn’t know the full details, they knew it had sothing significant to do with Ning Xuan.
Chu Tian, oblivious to the inside story, simply saw their surprised expressions and nodded. "That’s right, he has one too. The area is probably about the sa as mine, maybe just a tad bigger at most..."
Seeing them all looking at him, Chu Tian felt he had to leave himself enough of an out to avoid having his words thrown back in his face later. He was absolutely sure he was being cautious enough.
However, a voice suddenly rang out. "Fatty, what are you doing here?"
The group turned in unison and were imdiately left dumbfounded. Chu Tian was completely floored.
Holy hell! Is *that* a mobile apartnt? It’s so... so huge!
Noticing out of the corner of his eye that everyone else was still stunned, a red-faced Chu Tian silently retracted his mobile apartnt.
Damn it! Compared to Ning Xuan’s, mine is just a dog kennel! This is so embarrassing!
At that mont, Chu Tian just wanted to find a hole to crawl into and hide.
From a distance, Ning Xuan’s voice sounded again. "Sister Qian, you’re here too." Surprised, he nodded a greeting to Qian Fanfan and Qian Manman.
"You’re just now seeing ? I was starting to think soone couldn’t see this old woman," Qian Yourong said, giving Ning Xuan a look filled with mock resentnt.
Qian Fanfan glanced at her aunt in surprise before smiling and greeting Ning Xuan. "Greetings, Young Master Ning. My na is Qian Fanfan."
This ti, before Qian Fanfan could make any more introductions, Qian Manman eagerly stepped forward. "Young Master Ning, I’m Qian Manman! Duoduo is my cousin, and she is my paternal aunt—my real aunt!" As he finished speaking, he even gave Ning Xuan a suggestive wink.
This family’s naming sense is certainly... simple and unadorned! Ning Xuan mused. He then noticed Qian Manman’s wink and paused. What does that an?
Qian Yourong, however, noticed her nephew’s little gesture and shot him a fierce glare.
Chu Tian noticed it too and felt a sharp sting of hurt. Damn it all! If I had known, I wouldn’t have kept such a low profile! Then I wouldn’t be treated so differently by this snob who judges people by their appearance! At the sa ti, he shot a resentful glare at Ning Xuan. You! You could have shown up at any ti, but you had to appear right at this mont. You did this on purpose, didn’t you!
"Oh, Brother Chu, you’re here too?" Ning Xuan said with great surprise, having sensed the gaze.
"I am not! And I’m leaving right now!" Chu Tian had a bad feeling. I have a premonition that encountering this guy never leads to anything good!
As expected, his worst fears ca true.
"Why are you still riding that rip-off? Oh, right, didn’t you also get a reward? Let see what you got."
Upon hearing this, Chu Tian’s face turned green. What the hell! This guy just had to bring up the most sensitive subject!
"Well..." As Chu Tian stood there awkwardly, Qian Manman burst out laughing, showing no regard for his feelings and happily rubbing salt in the wound. "Brother Ning, you might not know, but his so-called mobile apartnt is only... let’s see... right, was that a kennel? It’s only as big as the kennel in the corner of your front yard! And just a mont ago, he was bragging that yours was only a little bit bigger than his... Oh, I can’t take it, let laugh for a bit!"
Qian Manman clutched his stomach, laughing so hard he could barely breathe. Qian Yourong and Qian Fanfan must have had professional training because they didn’t laugh, though it was clearly a struggle to hold it in. Only Qian Duoduo, blissfully oblivious, was staring at Ning Xuan’s mobile villa while frantically stuffing Elixirs into his mouth.
Ning Xuan was genuinely unaware of what Chu Tian had been doing. At first, he assud Qian Manman was just exaggerating, but seeing Chu Tian’s expression, that didn’t seem to be the case. This made Ning Xuan admire Chu Tian’s composure; it was truly impressive. More importantly, it wasn’t an act—he genuinely wasn’t angry.
Ning Xuan’s interest in him was instantly piqued. With a temperant like that, his true strength was likely far beyond what most people would expect.
