Xu Yuanhai shot to his feet and bowed solemnly. "From now on, Captain Chen, should you ever need anything, you have but to say the word. My Xu Family will spare no effort to assist you, no questions asked!"
He was desperate to solidify the close bond between the Xu Family and Chen Sheng.
"Hahaha, Clan Leader Xu, you're too kind. There's no need for such formalities between us."
Chen Sheng gave a slight nod, accepting this pledge of allegiance.
Overjoyed, Xu Yuanhai decided to strike while the iron was hot and ordered someone to present the gift he had prepared. A young woman from the Xu Family with delicate features walked forward, respectfully carrying a tray draped in red silk.
"What's this?"
Chen Sheng's eyes shifted. The Celestial Book's Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil ability didn't give warnings about unsolicited gifts, so he had no idea what was on the tray.
