After returning to Terang City, Tushan Yue still had some other things to do, so he didn't bring Qinchuan back to the family immediately. Instead, he agreed to meet up with Qinchuan at the observatory tomorrow morning before returning to the family together.
Qinchuan liked this arrangement very much. This way, he would have time to meet up with his old friend, Ao Feng. He could also share the information he obtained with Ao Feng.
When Qinchuan arrived at Starmoon Hotel, he called Ao Feng. When Ao Feng heard that Qinchuan had returned, he happily said to Qinchuan, "You're back just in time. Come to the restaurant on the 20th floor. We're having a dinner party. It hasn't started yet!"
Hearing Ao Feng's words, Qinchuan was slightly stunned. He was a little confused, "Dinner party?
Who are you with? "
"A lot of people. We're all friends!"
Ao Feng's voice was a little noisy. Qinchuan couldn't help but frown. He hung up the phone and glanced at the hotel sign in front of him. He decided to check out the situation first.
When Qinchuan arrived at the restaurant on the 20th floor, the waiter was serving the dishes. A huge long table was filled with people. At a rough glance, there were at least 20 people. Ao Feng was sitting among them and was enthusiastically chatting with the people around him.
When Qinchuan walked into the restaurant, Ao Feng immediately noticed Qinchuan's arrival. He stood up and waved at Qinchuan. He shouted, "Hey, Qinchuan, I'm here!"
When the people around the table heard Ao Feng's shout, they subconsciously turned their heads to look at Qinchuan. The expression in their eyes was a little subtle. They had heard Ao Feng mention Qinchuan countless times in the past few days. Today, they finally got to meet him in person.
Under everyone's gaze, Qinchuan slowly walked towards the dining table. Ao Feng pointed at the empty seat beside him and said to Qinchuan, "This seat is reserved for you. Come quickly!"
Just as Qinchuan was about to sit down on the empty seat, the handsome young man sitting at the head of the table suddenly said faintly, "This new friend, shouldn't you introduce yourself before sitting down?"
Hearing the young man's words, Qinchuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who are you?"
The handsome young man smiled and said to Qinchuan, "It seems that Ao Feng didn't mention me to you. I'm Stam, the president of the Fraternity."
Fraternity?
Upon hearing the name of this very special organization, Qin Chuan turned his gaze to Ao Feng and asked curiously, "What does this mean?"
Ao Feng stood up and smiled at Qinchuan. "The Fraternity is a guild we established together. Everyone here is a member!"
"You still haven't explained clearly what this Fraternity does."
Qinchuan looked at Ao Feng with a subtle expression. "Furthermore, I don't think I need the help of these people."
Qinchuan wasn't an arrogant person, but he really didn't think that a group of people who were at most at the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage would be able to provide him with much help. Sometimes, numbers didn't necessarily make up for the difference in quality!
Following Qinchuan's words, everyone's gazes toward Qinchuan instantly became unfriendly. Qinchuan's attitude was clearly looking down on them. It would be strange if they were happy!
Ao Feng saw the change in everyone's expressions and hurriedly said to Qinchuan, "Qinchuan, don't speak nonsense. We …"
"Alright, Ao Feng, let me explain for you."
Stam chuckled and said to Qinchuan, "We may not be able to provide you with any help in the outside world, but what about in the Ancient Human Ruins?
Are you sure you can move freely in the Ancient Human Ruins without encountering any danger and without needing any help? "
Hearing Stam mention the Ancient Human Ruins, Qinchuan's heart stirred slightly. He asked, "You established this Fraternity to deal with the Ancient Human Ruins that will be taking place soon?"
"That's right. That's how it is. Everyone here has an entry ticket."
Stam looked at Qinchuan. "I've heard Ao Feng talk about you before. You're a good young man. If you're willing to join us, I can give you the position of deputy."
When Qin Chuan heard this, he looked at Stam with a playful gaze. He smiled and asked, "The position of deputy?
I'd like to know what this position is for. "
"The Fraternity is divided into four positions: member, team leader, deputy, and president. When everyone gathers together, they have to listen to the arrangements of their superiors. This arrangement also includes how to distribute the spoils."
Stam said proudly to Qinchuan, "Because of my appreciation, you will have power second only to mine. What do you think? Don't you think it's pretty good?"
Qinchuan didn't think there was anything wrong with Ao Feng joining this Fraternity. When he heard Stam's arrogant words and the others' expressions of agreement, he couldn't help but wonder if Ao Feng's brain was damaged. Why would he join such an unreliable organization?
"Sorry, I'm not interested." Qinchuan shook his head. "I don't like to manage others, and I don't like to be managed by others."
In the face of Qinchuan's rejection, before Stam could say anything, Ao Feng anxiously sent a voice transmission to Qinchuan. "Qinchuan, calm down. These people are from various forces in Terang City. Although their backgrounds aren't as powerful as the Metropolis Prefecture or the Tushan Family, they're still a force to be reckoned with. It'll be much more convenient for us to move around the Ancient Human Ruins with them!"
Hearing Ao Feng's words, Qinchuan looked at Ao Feng with a subtle gaze and replied, "Would you believe me if I said it'd be more convenient for you to move around with me?"
"Don't joke around. Stam has insider information!"
Ao Feng didn't believe Qinchuan's words at all. He said to Qinchuan, "Stam said that there are void creatures in the Ancient Human Ruins!"
Seeing Ao Feng's attitude, Qinchuan pursed his lips and said to Ao Feng, "I understand what you mean. At the same time, I respect your choice. I'm sorry, but I won't be moving with these people."
After saying that, Qinchuan turned around and walked out of the restaurant. He had completely lost interest in staying here.
"Wait, you can't leave yet."
At this moment, Stam suddenly said to Qinchuan, "Everyone has to pay a membership fee to join the Fraternity. It's not much, only 30,000 star stones. Your friend Ao Feng doesn't have that many star stones. He once said that as long as you come back, you'll definitely help him pay the fee. If you want to leave and aren't willing to pay for him, then he can only go with you."
Hearing Stam's words, Qinchuan slowly turned around and looked at Ao Feng. When he saw the pleading expression on Ao Feng's face, he couldn't help but sigh.
"I understand. 30,000 star stones, I'll pay for him."
