Chapter - 363 My Backup Is Better than Your's - Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms

My backup is better than your backup

Damn!

Yap Xianghu was extremely stunned. He had never seen his grandpa acting so politely towards a youngster, and all he knew was that the name Elder Cao commanded great awe of his grandfather.

"Grand… Grandpa… Who is Elder Cao? Is he more powerful than our Yap Family's backup?"

"Shut up! You fool!" Yap Lanshou glared at Yap Xianghu and said in a low voice. "Elder Cao is our backup's backup!"

*Phew*

Yap Xianghu took a deep breath, the hair on his skin raised. He knew that his family's backup had a strong influence in Dragon City politics and military while doing things according to his own will. However, even he was a subordinate of Elder Cao; this was definitely too much for Yap Xianghu.

"Mr. Chen! I'm so sorry! I blame myself for not recognizing you earlier! I'm so full of shit! I… I should slap myself… I'm going to slap myself as hard as possible…"

Yap Xianghu knelt on the floor, raised both his hands and began slapping his swollen face as hard as he could. He knew clearly that he had made a big mistake this time.

Yap Lanshou himself was still bowing to Chen Xiaobei, afraid of even uttering another word. The elder watched every move made by Chen Xiaobei as his wrinkled forehead poured sweat. He also suddenly recalled – with irony – Yap Liangchen's words that the Yap Family would be destroyed if they refused to yield to the young man.

"It's fine. Stop slapping yourself… I want to have a word with your grandpa!" Chen Xiaobei's face carried a serious expression, but he was actually thrilled.

He knew all along that Elder Cao had power and influence in Dragon City but had no idea that even the Yap Family revered him. His life was in danger, but it was all over once when he showed the Duskdawn. That was beyond amazing!

Yap Xianghu had stopped slapping himself and quickly hid at a corner while Yap Lanshou asked politely: "How may I be of service, Mr. Chen? I will definitely do whatever you say!"

Chen Xiaobei took out the fake Flaming Cloud Spiritual Pendant and tossed it to Yap Lanshou. "Yap Liangchen loaned it to me for a few days," he said. "Now, I'm returning it to you. Satisfied?"

"Well…" Yap Lanshou was stunned. He gave the pendant a good look; it was still in tip-top condition.

"Liangchen!" He exclaimed happily. "Why didn't you tell me that you were just lending the Flaming Cloud Spiritual Pendant to Mr. Chen? I thought you lost it!"

"I was just following Bro Bei's orders." Yap Liangchen answered calmly.

Yap Lanshou was stunned again, but he was not willing to ask more questions. "I blame myself for not getting a clear picture of this incident," he said politely. "I sincerely hope that Mr. Chen would not be offended by an old fool such as I…"

"I'll cut to the chase. You can have the Flaming Cloud Spiritual Pendant, and Yap Liangchen will stay with you as well. We shall not cross paths anymore." Chen Xiaobei said calmly.

"Mr. Chen, you shouldn't say that. We have a mutual benefactor – and that makes us family! Also, feel free to order Yap Liangchen around whenever you need him! And he can take the Flaming Cloud Spiritual Pendant with him, I'm not going to take it back."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Chen Xiaobei asked, his eyebrows raised.

In truth, he knew that Yap Liangshou was trying to get on his good side. The elder desired a connection between the Yap Family and Elder Cao through himself, albeit not to the point that they stand beside Elder Cao for the time being. For that, the Yap family must not be on hostile terms with Chen Xiaobei.

"What I'm saying is that Yap Liangchen will remain the heir of the Yap Family!" Yap Lanshou responded quickly. "And he will be staying at Green Vine City to aid you too!"

"Alright. I will look past all the misunderstandings we've had!" Chen Xiaobei shrugged. "Don't worry, I will take good care of Yap Liangchen for you!"

"Then please allow me to thank you in advance!" Yap Lanshou said as he handed the Flaming Cloud Spiritual Pendant to Yap Liangchen.

Chen Xiaobei left the hotel with Yap Liangchen after all that.

Meanwhile, Yap Lanshou could finally breathe easy after Chen Xiaobei left.

"Grandpa… What about me…" Yap Xianghu cried. "It's only three days since I became heir to the Yap Family!"

"Aren't you ashamed?" Yap Lianghsou shouted sternly. "Take a good look at yourself! You're not talented, and you're not exactly likable! You don't even have connections in Dragon City either! Can you make a friend like Mr. Chen? Can you?!"

"I… I… Sob… Sob…" Yap Xianghu pursed his lips and continued to cry.

Chen Xiaobei and Yap Liangchen returned home after leaving the Shangri-La hotel; it was now Yap Liangchen's mission to protect Chen Xiaobei's parents.

Chen Xiaobei himself retreated to his room and started to train on the Indestructible Body Enhancement Skill of the Eternal King that he had researched not too long ago. He had decided to give it a sub-zero name that sounded formidable – no doubt the name alone would be empowering when he passed it on to his future apprentices.

As with most training, it was mundane and boring. However, Chen Xiaobei had to endure it regardless; he had a long journey ahead before invincibility after all!

Looking at his recent opponents...

If not for Elder Cao, Chen Xiaobei would definitely have been killed by Yap Lanshou; and there were a lot more powerful individuals than the old man himself.

Qiu Hairui's Black Gang, the Meichuan Family from Japan, the mysterious Poseidon, and the chaotic Dragon City were people and places that Chen Xiaobei would have to overcome eventually. And he would be killed in seconds if he was weak!

Train!

Motivated, Chen Xiaobei set his sights on becoming more powerful. A layer of sweat covered him as he trained for more than thirty hours.

Ding!

[Cultivation: Later phase of Qi refining stage. Health: 7500, Combat power: 5700!]

"Haha! My health increased by thirteen hundred points! This is amazing! Now let me just take a break and check on the sales of the First Love Peaches."

It was the afternoon a day after their confrontation with the Yap family, and the first batch of First Love Peaches have already hit the market. As the boss, Chen Xiaobei was obligated to monitor his peach business.

Pleasant surprises surged at him tsunami once he logged on to his Weibo.

The number of fans he had has increased to six hundred thousand and counting within thirty hours! His First Love Peach was also the most discussed topic on Weibo, while the second was about a movie titled The Legend of Ling Yue the Heroine!

And there's no doubt that Chen Xiaobei's fans were the ones who made his First Love Peach the most discussed topic!

[Too too too too too delicious! The peaches sold by Bro Bei are definitely the best food in this world!]
