Walking out of the room, there were already two rows of guards waiting in the corridor.
One of these guards was an expert at the fifth level of the Heavenly Yuan Realm. Two of them were at the eighth level of the Heavenly Yuan Realm, while the other ten were at the fifth level of the Heavenly Yuan Realm, ranging from the sixth level to the fifth level of the Heavenly Yuan Realm.
A Heaven Origin Realm martial artist was a very powerful character on the other roads. It was more than enough for him to find a small corner and be the overlord of one side.
However, in the Iron and Steel Continent, people of this level were not uncommon.
Of course, the reason why people at this realm were willing to be hired as mercenaries was largely because of the word "Su Ran".
The guards looked at Xiang Nan with a look of contempt. They saw how Xiang Nan "hooked up" with Su Ran with their own eyes.
He was very disdainful of such a "pretty boy" like Xiang Nan.
Crystal Palace has different elevators, some for ordinary people, some for staff, and some for distinguished guests.
Then Su Ran brought Xiang Nan into the VIP elevator and said to the guards outside, "Get down ahead of time. Prepare a carriage and wait for me. Xiang Bei will come with me."
With that, the elevator door closed.
The elevating tunnel was a straight tunnel. A disk was used for people to stand. On the disk was a floating array. This array was one of the wind-type formations that could rise and fall without any support.
Xiang Nan looked at the platform beneath his feet. The floating array on it was very new, and it was obvious that it was often maintained.
"Take my arm." Su Ran said.
"What?" Xiang Nanqi said, "Arm in arm?"
Su Ran said, "I remind you for the last time, ask what you should ask, don't ask what you shouldn't ask. You can do whatever I ask you to do. I have my own reasons."
Xiang Nan nodded and grabbed her arm. "Let me remind you for the last time, don't talk to me like you're directing a slave. I'm your employer, so there's no difference between us," he said.
Su Ran said, "Remember, from now on, you are the son of a wealthy family in the Iron and Steel Continent. Your name is Xiang Bei, and you are the direct descendant of the Xiang Family in the Iron and Steel Continent. You have two major industries under you, namely, the development of Huanggushan mineral resources in the northeastern region of the Iron and Steel Continent, and the shipyards of two flying ships."
"You are twenty-two years old this year. You have already reached the sixth level of Heaven Scryer. You came to Amethyst City because you pursued me."
"Do you really think these two industries exist? What if someone asks and I slip up?" Xiang Nanqi asked.
"It really exists." Su Ran said, "These two industries do belong to the Xiang Clan, but they are the famous Xiang Clan in the Iron and Steel Continent. They have nothing to do with you."
"Furthermore, if others ask further, you will say that it is a trade secret, so it is inconvenient to disclose it."
"They will also treat you as a young master who has nothing to do with you. They will not pursue you any further."
"There are still some details of etiquette. Let me tell you properly. Don't mess up at the banquet later. Otherwise, your commission will be deducted."
'"Remember, shake hands with someone. If the other party is an elder, if you want to attack later, don't dare to rush up and reach out. Otherwise, if others don't shake hands with you, you will be ugly. This is also respect for the elders."
"Secondly, use both of your hands to receive anything that the elders have passed you. Bow slightly."
"Also, when talking to an elder, don't nod your head. If you don't understand, ask. If you do, ask as well. Let an elder have a chance to show off his knowledge in front of you."
"And …"
Su Ran said a long string of things. The two of them had already arrived at the ground floor and walked towards the carriage.
Xiang Nan said, "What if it's a peer?"
Su Ran said, "Junior? Then there's no need to worry. How do you usually talk to me? Just take out your bull qi and don't give me any loss. If anyone comes looking for trouble with you, just directly greet them with your fists! If you break it, it's mine. If you lose, I'll punish you!"
Xiang Nan laughed, "That last sentence sounds pleasant to the ear."
The carriage galloped through the night.
Su Ran and Xiang Nan were in the same carriage. She supported her cheeks and quietly looked at the night scene outside the window, but her expression was somewhat sad.
Xiang Nan did not know what she was thinking and was too lazy to ask.
Finally, the carriage stopped outside the City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion was hosting a dinner party, and a big shot with a lot of face had arrived.
As soon as Su Ran came down, she immediately became the focus of attention on the scene. Almost everyone wanted to rush up and talk to her.
As for her guards, they were very diligent in blocking the scene for her and escorting her into the banquet hall.
The identities of the people inside were different.
It could be seen that Su Ran was really comfortable in the Steel Continent. She knew almost everyone with high authority.
Holding her wine glass, she walked around like an actress, constantly entering the circles of all kinds of people. She had a kind of ability, and she could make the big shots laugh loudly in just a few words, and quickly merge into their conversation.
Xiang Nan had seen a lot of women, but he had never seen a woman like Su Ran who had changed between different roles like flying.
"I wonder if Miss Ruyan did the same thing at the banquet." As Xiang Nan thought about it, he couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly. What was Miss Ruyan's identity? In this world, there were only people who curried favor with her. No one had ever allowed her to rush up and curry favor with her.
"Of course."
At this moment, a handsome and tall man walked over. This man was 1.9 meters tall, and he behaved very appropriately.
Upon seeing this person, Su Ran's expression became unnatural. She directly turned around and walked in another direction.
The handsome man hurriedly rushed forward and grabbed Su Ran's hand. "Are you still angry with me? I arranged a guard for you for your own good. Besides, you didn't accept it."
Su Ran shook off his hand and said, "Xue Bufan! Listen carefully, I, Su Ran, can live on my own. I don't need your stinking money!"
"I accepted you because I was moved by your sincerity, not because I liked your background!"
"Yes, yes, I know, but" Xue Bufan looked at the surrounding guests and whispered, "Shall we take a walk on the rooftop?"
"No." Su Ran shook off Xue Bufan's hand.
Xue Bufan forced her to leave.
Su Ran had no choice but to say to Xiang Nan, "Xiang Bei, take a look by yourself. I'll be right back."
The two of them held hands and walked down the stairs towards the rooftop.
Xiang Nan looked around. He didn't know anyone here. He just felt bored and felt that this kind of occasion really wasn't suitable for him.
"I've been paying attention to you for a long time. Hello, my name is Huangpu Changlong." A young man walked over from the crowd and extended his hand towards Xiang Nan.
"Huangpu?" Xiang Nan looked at this person curiously and extended his hand.
The man smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you are Young Master Xiang Bei Xiang."
"You know me?" Xiang Nanqi said.
The man nodded, "Eastern Region, General Manor."
"Oh" Xiang Nan suddenly understood.
In the General's Mansion, there were indeed three great clans attending the birthday banquet of General Rong, and there were people from the Huangpu Aristocrat Clan.
I didn't expect to encounter an "acquaintance" here.
Huangpu Changlong smiled and said, "Go out for a walk?"
"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded and walked out of the hall side by side.
This caused a sensation.
Many guests were whispering in private, guessing Xiang Nan's identity.
There was not a single person who could be called out by Huangpu Changlong to chat privately throughout the banquet.
Beside the railing, Xiang Nan and the other two looked at the night in the distance.
The Huangpu Changlong said, "You are the one who shattered the plans of the Night Demon Master on the island of exile, right?"
Xiang Nan did not say anything.
Huangpu Changlong smiled and said, "Our Huangpu Clan has many spies. There are some things that we know very well, but we just don't say it out loud."
"So?" Xiang Nan said, "You want to avenge the emergency team?"
"You think too much." Huangpu Changlong smiled and said, "I am from the Southern race."
"It's the people of the Northern race who are causing trouble on the island of exile."
