Collecting Powerful Girlfriends: My Invincible Harem
Chapter 60 – Uninvited guest, the Heir of the King of Zhen'nan's enticement

"Since that's the case, Zi Luo will await Young Master Xiao's good news."

Seeing Xiao Chen's confident expression, Zi Luo responded with a charming smile.

"Hahaha, Miss Zi Luo, I heard you were coming to Heavenly Capital City to host an auction."

"I rushed over without delay, but it seems I still arrived a step too late."

Just as Zi Luo finished speaking and Xiao Chen was about to reply, a loud laugh echoed through the room, and several figures barged into the side room.

The sudden intrusion caused Xiao Chen and the others to frown and look towards the entrance.

The Ziyun Commerce Guild was heavily guarded, so for someone to break in during a serious discussion, their identity must be extraordinary!

As this thought crossed his mind, Xiao Chen recognized the newcomers.

Leading the group was a young man dressed in luxurious golden robes with python patterns. Behind him were several others, two of whom Xiao Chen recognized.

It was none other than Nalan Shijie and the gray-robed elder, who had gone to the Murong family to break off an engagement the previous day!

What a small world indeed.

"Qingxue?!"

Nalan Shijie, who had just entered, also spotted Xiao Chen and Murong Qingxue.

His expression froze for a moment before recalling the events of the previous day, and his eyes flared with anger.

"Fifth Heir, barging into the guild's VIP room without permission is rather overbearing and rude, don't you think?"

Zi Luo's brows furrowed slightly as she spoke coldly to the young man in luxurious robes.

This man was Yang Xiao, the fifth son of the King of Zhen'nan, a martial arts prodigy with mid-grade Heavenly Rank talent, who had reached the ninth level of the Core Formation Realm at the age of twenty-four.

He was also one of her fervent pursuers, but his domineering ways made her detest him.

However, given his status as the heir of the King of Zhen'nan, Zi Luo couldn't afford to completely sever ties with him and had to tolerate his behavior.

"Hahaha, I was just too eager to see Miss Zi Luo, and in my haste, I was a bit abrupt."

Yang Xiao's eyes burned with intensity as he looked at Zi Luo, who was a year younger but had the same level of cultivation.

With her stunning beauty, superior talent, and impressive background, she was a perfect woman who had to become his consort.

"Who is this?"

After mentally reaffirming his desire to win over Zi Luo, Yang Xiao's gaze shifted to Xiao Chen, who was standing close to her. Could this guy be another suitor?

"Your Highness, this is the person I mentioned earlier, and beside him is Murong Qingxue!"

Before Yang Xiao could respond, Nalan Shijie eagerly stepped forward, his eyes filled with jealousy as he glared at Xiao Chen, his fists clenched tightly.

If it weren't for this man, he wouldn't have been humiliated at the Murong family yesterday.

Murong Qingxue, whom he had deemed unworthy, had transformed into a woman he now coveted, all because of Xiao Chen.

"Really?!"

Yang Xiao's expression changed upon hearing Nalan Shijie's words. He stared intently at Xiao Chen before bursting into laughter.

"Hahaha, Brother Xiao, I was just planning to look for you, and here we meet. It seems we are truly destined."

With a glint in his eye, Yang Xiao approached Xiao Chen and extended an invitation.

"I've heard about you..."

"At eighteen, you've reached the seventh level of the Spirit Aperture Realm, your martial talent surpassing even mine."

"And you healed Murong Qingxue in mere moments."

"Such miraculous medical skills would make even Alchemy King Gu Qinghe feel inferior."

As these words fell, Zi Luo's eyes widened in disbelief, glancing at Xiao Chen and then at Murong Qingxue.

She knew a bit about Murong Qingxue's situation and was astonished that Xiao Chen had resolved what even Gu Qinghe couldn't.

His talent was indeed monstrous!

Even with her high-grade Heavenly Rank talent, she had only reached the second level of the Spirit Aperture Realm at eighteen.

Yet Xiao Chen had reached the seventh level at the same age. His talent was truly extraordinary!

She had hoped to connect with Xiao Chen's mysterious master but hadn't expected Xiao Chen himself to be such a prodigy!

Making Xiao Chen an honorary elder of the Ziyun Commerce Guild was the wisest decision of her life!

"Brother Xiao, I invite you to join the King of Zhen'nan's household and become my follower."

"When I become the new King of Zhen'nan, you will be my right-hand man."

As Zi Luo was still in shock, Yang Xiao's voice rang out forcefully.

Though it seemed like an invitation, it was more of a command.

After all, as the heir of the King of Zhen'nan, extending such an offer was a great honor for anyone!

"Fifth Heir, Young Master Xiao is an honorary elder of the Ziyun Commerce Guild. Poaching him in front of me is rather inappropriate, don't you think?"

As Xiao Chen frowned slightly at the offer, Zi Luo couldn't help but speak up.

Yang Xiao was indeed scheming to elevate his status in the King of Zhen'nan's eyes.

Not only was he targeting her, but now he also wanted to recruit Young Master Xiao?

"What?!"

"He's an honorary elder of the Ziyun Commerce Guild?!"

Yang Xiao's pupils contracted sharply at Zi Luo's words.

Even Nalan Shijie and the gray-robed elder were visibly shocked.

Honorary elders of the Ziyun Commerce Guild were typically Heavenly Being Realm experts, Heaven Rank alchemists or artifact refiners, or rare formation masters.

These individuals were usually over a hundred, even several hundred years old.

Yet Xiao Chen, at eighteen, had achieved this status.

It was unbelievable.

"Hahaha, Brother Xiao, to become an honorary elder at such a young age, it seems Miss Zi Luo holds you in high regard."

Seeing Zi Luo's apparent concern for Xiao Chen, a cold glint flashed in Yang Xiao's eyes, but he continued with a forced smile.

"But no matter..."

"My relationship with Miss Zi Luo is close, and the King of Zhen'nan's household and the Ziyun Commerce Guild are like family. In a way, we are one."

"Since you are an elder of the Ziyun Commerce Guild, why not also serve the King of Zhen'nan's household?"

"This way, we can benefit mutually. What do you think, Brother Xiao?"

As his words fell, the room fell silent.

Nalan Shijie glared at Xiao Chen with intense jealousy, his molars nearly cracking.

Both were eighteen years old.

Yet Xiao Chen had become an honorary elder of the Ziyun Commerce Guild, a status equivalent to Heavenly Being experts.

Even the Heir of the King of Zhen'nan was willing to lower himself to recruit him.

It made Nalan Shijie seethe with envy.

Comparing oneself to others could indeed be infuriating!
