Chapter 456: Far away, yet so close
At night, in a hot pot restaurant.
On a booth in the corner, two men and one woman were sitting on it.
"Come on, Brother Chen! Try this tripe, it's delicious!"
"Sister, come and try this mutton. I have lost weight in the past few months in the other world. I need to take more supplements to get back!"
At this time, Xia Feng, who was sitting alone, was diligently serving dishes to Chen Jing and Xia Qin, who had just returned.
Although Xia Qin's complexion looks a little duller after returning from another world, the heroic spirit between her eyebrows is becoming more and more full. It is obvious that this unusual experience has also made her grow a lot.
She took the initiative to invite Chen Jing to this dinner party, in order to thank him for taking care of her younger brother during this time.
Although Chen Jing was a little busy due to the global martial arts competition, he had already prepared what he needed to prepare before, so he went to the banquet without anything else.
After all, we don’t know whether the trip will be good or bad, so it’s best to say goodbye to family and friends before departure.
After the two parties sat down, Xia Qin took the initiative to express her gratitude to Chen Jing.
Originally, she was worried that after a few months of absence, her younger brother would be like a wild horse and cause a lot of trouble, but what she didn't expect was that this time she came back without any headaches, and Xia Feng's words and deeds were even more interesting.
It gave her a sense of maturity and stability, which truly surprised her.
Hearing her brother say that her change was due to Chen Jing's long-term discipline, she was even more grateful to Chen Jing.
After all, although I had asked Chen Jing for help, I still relied on him with a positive attitude, and I never thought that the other party would actually be so considerate.
As a result, the relationship between the two, which had gradually become indifferent due to not seeing each other for a long time, could not help but gradually recover.
The words between each other are less lively and more intimate.
Xia Feng, who took the initiative to help, was snickering and winking at Chen Jing.
"Xia Feng! Why are you still standing there in such a daze? Why don't you continue to pick up food for you, Brother Chen? Thank you very much for the teachings I have given you!"
Xia Qin still acted like an eldest sister. After seeing Xia Feng's obviously suggestive expression, her pretty face turned red, and then she looked at him like a knife and said hard.
"Okay! Okay!"
Xia Feng, who immediately cheered up, immediately retracted his unserious expression, and hurriedly went to pick up the food for Chen Jing, and at the same time said thank you:
"Thank you, Brother Chen, for teaching me during this time!"
"I don't play a big role, everything is still up to you."
Chen Jing held the bowl and said with a half-smile.
Xia Qin on the side only thought he was being humble.
But Chen Jing himself understood that except for the time when he found Man Lao, he came to Xia Feng only a handful of times, and he really didn't teach Xia Feng much.
Xia Feng's current changes are not only due to Man Lao's factors, but also his own practical insights during this period.
Even though Chen Jing has been preparing for a global competition recently, she has still heard that the underground world of Nansu City has been in a commotion these days because of one person.
For this reason, he also specifically took action to make the official level maintain a default attitude towards these issues and not pursue Xia Feng's identity.
With his current strength and influence, Nansu City at all levels can naturally give him this face.
Anyway, the only ones who suffer losses are bedbugs in the sewers.
Chen Jing is not a pedantic person, and he can help whenever he can.
Xia Feng obviously heard something behind Chen Jing's words, and quickly secretly made a pitiful look, begging Brother Chen not to expose his affairs.
Although Chen Jing scared him, he didn't really mean to reveal these things.
Then he turned to Xia Qin to talk about the other world.
Both of them have been to different worlds. Although the situations are different, the conversation is smooth.
Although Xia Qin seemed to notice something was wrong, under Chen Jing's words, she quickly shifted her attention and started talking and laughing for a while.
Xia Feng, who finally let go of his worries, also diligently served the two of them like a waiter.
As the weather gets colder, more and more people are enjoying hot pot.
At this time, except for Chen Jing's table, the rest of the hot pot restaurant was already full, and it was very lively for a while.
In addition to eating and drinking, a dinner gathering between relatives and friends naturally involves all kinds of chatting.
And now, when the global martial arts competition is at its hottest, this topic is naturally indispensable in everyone's conversations.
When we were talking about enjoying ourselves, someone suddenly asked:
"Alas! Do you know who are the contestants representing our Xia Kingdom this time?"
When he said this, many people around him started to have different opinions.
"I really don't know when you say that! Logically, the global martial arts competition is about to begin, and these candidates should also be included in the plan!"
"Is there a selection competition like the North-South Competition?"
"I haven't heard of this news! Otherwise, it should be carried out now, otherwise it will be too late."
"I heard that some countries directly select their personnel internally, or our country is the same."
"Maybe that's the case! But in this way, can we really select the strongest player? It won't have anything to do with the selection, right?"
"That's right! That's right! It's better to have an audition to be fair! Aren't the contestants like those in the North-South competition very good!"
"How is that possible! You must know that the age of this competition is under twenty-eight years old. I heard that the weakest contestants from several nearby countries are all mid-level warriors. If you let those people from the North-South Competition compete, aren't you taking the initiative to admit defeat?
!”
"Haha! I almost forgot that there is such an age range, so our Xia Kingdom will have a lot of people to choose from. After all, our number of warriors leads the world!"
"When the number increases, it becomes more difficult to ensure the quality of the selected people. I don't know how the country chooses, so don't choose a parallel import!"
"Yes, yes! Regarding the honor of our Xia Kingdom, we cannot be careless at all!"
"."
These people chatted loudly, which also attracted the attention of siblings Chen Jing and Xia Qin.
Xia Qin, who had worked as a medical nurse for the military in another world, was now also very interested in news about warriors. She analyzed the two of them:
"If the contestants are directly selected this time, I think there will be many from the Southern Expedition Army. I also met many young and strong men some time ago, and these people who have been tempered by life and death combat will obviously have strong combat effectiveness.
"
Xia Feng agreed very much with the elder sister's remarks. Just when he was about to say something, Chen Jing suddenly saw the old god and his eyes lit up instantly.
Xia Qin didn't know what Chen Jing's strength was now, but how could he not know.
In addition, this person has a high status, so he may know information that they don't know.
So he quickly asked Chen Jing:
"Brother Chen, do you know who will represent Xia Kingdom in the competition this time?"
"I know."
Chen Jing swallowed the food in his mouth and said calmly.
"Who is there?"
The two siblings, Xia Feng and Xia Qin, looked at each other and asked in unison.
Chen Jing smiled slightly and tapped herself with chopsticks:
Chapter completed!
