The four of them arrived in the courtyard.
Qiu Qichen then asked, "Xiao, I happen to have some free time these next couple of days, so a few friends and I are planning to hold an exchange meet to trade for things we need."
"We've set the time for tonight."
"If you aren't busy, perhaps you'd care to stay and have a look?"
Xiao Chen had no objections and nodded in agreement. "No problem. I happen to have a few things I don't need anymore."
"However, I had a sudden insight while I was out today. Mr. Qiu, do you have a quiet place I could use?"
Of course, that wasn't the real reason. Xiao Chen hadn't had any sort of insight.
He just wanted to study that strange Spirit Pearl and figure out what was going on with it.
"Of course, no problem. Someone, attend me."
Qiu Qichen immediately called for a handmaiden and arranged for a top-quality guest room for Xiao Chen.
Qiu Qichen's so-called "humble abode" was anything but simple.
