Master Of Martial Arts Has An Advanced Optical Brain

Chapter 169: Xio’s Private Manor

An hour later, Chu Nan jumped down from the bus.

After following the direction indicated on his personal terminal for a while, a huge manor hidden behind a small forest appeared in front of him.

“So big…”

Although he was already mentally prepared, Chu Nan was still shocked when he saw how exaggerated the manor was.

Looking down at the local products he brought from his home, Chu Nan could not help but frown.

“I’ve only brought such a small gift… Isn’t it a little too shabby?”

On second thought, Chu Nan was relieved.

Since he was able to participate in the banquet of the McDao Group more than a month ago and even booked a small hall alone, why would he care about the gifts he brought?

After figuring this out, Chu Nan let go of his doubts and walked towards the manor’s door.

The door was closed, but after Chu Nan verified his identity through his personal terminal, the door immediately opened and an old but energetic laugh sounded.

“Haha, Chu Nan, you’re finally here. Come in quickly. Trina and I are waiting for you.”

“Trina?” Chu Nan was stunned, “Old Master Xio, didn’t you say that you only invited me?”

This old voice was the old man Chu Nan had seen at the McDao Group’s banquet more than a month ago.

At that time, Xio had revealed to Chu Nan that the commander of the Federation Army, Marshal Chemekov, had faced a situation similar to Chu Nan’s, but he had ultimately successfully broken through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate and even became a powerful Star-Grade Martial Artist in the end. Therefore, his experience should be helpful to Chu Nan.

At the same time, Xio also expressed that he and Marshal Chemekov were old comrades and friends. Because he admired Chu Nan, he was willing to recommend him to Marshal Chemekov and let him help Chu Nan find a way to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate.

At that time, Chu Nan was very excited about this. He felt that even if he did not necessarily obtain any help from Marshal Chemekov, it was good to see him.

However, he did not expect that Xio would not contact Chu Nan for a month.

Just as Chu Nan thought that Xio was joking with him or had forgotten about this, four days ago, Xio suddenly contacted him and told him a piece of good news that excited him greatly.

Marshal Chemekov had actually agreed to Xio’s request for him to help Chu Nan!

According to his agreement with Xio, Chu Nan had come to his house today. Firstly, he was invited as a guest, and secondly, he wanted to meet Marshal Chemekov under Xio’s witness.

“It’s true that you were the only one invited. As for Trina… you’ll know when you come in.”

Hearing Xio’s answer, Chu Nan was a little speechless.

This old man was really childish. He was already at the door, but he still wanted to keep him in suspense.

Walking through the door, an automated robot with a round head and a full body of pink looked very cute and adorable. It was filled with the air of a girl in a fairy tale.

“Young Master Chu Nan, please follow me.” A pleasant and soft girl spat out from the automatic robot and led Chu Nan into the manor.

Chu Nan was even more speechless.

If Xio had chosen this robot herself, he really did not know what to say.

The manor was indeed very large. Under the lead of the automatic robot, Chu Nan walked for five minutes before arriving at a building that was not tall and looked to be only one floor in size.

As soon as Chu Nan saw the building door, Xio led a girl who looked to be around 11 or 12 years old out.

When he saw Chu Nan, Xio laughed.

“Chu Nan, you’re too late. Shouldn’t you be punished to drink more wine later?”

“Drinking?” Chu Nan was shocked. He instantly recalled that in the previous meeting and conversation, Xio had bragged many times that he had an unparalleled alcohol tolerance in the military camp and was able to drink more than ten of his comrades, including Marshal Chemekov, without falling.

Although Chu Nan felt that he was bragging, he was certain that he liked to drink and had a good alcohol tolerance.

“This… Old Master Xio, I’ve never had alcohol before…” Chu Nan had a bitter expression.

“Tsk, what kind of man would you be if you hadn’t drunk alcohol? Aren’t you already 18 years old? You can drink now. Drink with me for a while, or don’t blame me for not letting you see Chemekov.” Xio waved his hand without a care.

“Ah?” Chu Nan was immediately dumbfounded.

This Xio was really speechless.

In order to make him drink with him, he actually used this condition to threaten Chu Nan?

As for saying that he would be punished for being late…

He had strictly rejected Carlisle’s temptation just now and firmly did not stay in the Noctem Chamber of Commerce any longer. He rushed over as soon as possible.

According to Xio’s current situation, if he really could not resist the temptation and came a little later, he would likely be dead drunk tonight.

“Dad!” The woman beside Xio shouted softly, “The doctor has long warned you to drink less. How can you not listen?”

After saying that, she turned to Chu Nan and revealed an apologetic smile.

“I’m sorry, Father is like this. He especially likes to get people to drink with him. Don’t mind him.”

“Don’t mind what?” Xio raised his voice, “Chu Nan is an 18-year-old adult. What’s wrong with drinking a little? A doctor? If what the doctor says works, no one in this world will die!”

He frowned and shook his head with a helpless expression.

Chu Nan could only smile dryly.

He had only met Xio once after all. Even if he admired him greatly, it was not convenient for him to say some things.

“Grandpa!”

Just as the two of them were helpless against the old man, the girl who had been curiously sizing Chu Nan up suddenly spoke.

“If you drink again, I won’t like you anymore!”

“Ah?” Xio blinked and was stunned. He turned to look at the girl and said with a bitter expression, “About that… Trina, you also know that Grandpa’s greatest hobby is drinking… If you completely don’t let me drink, I might as well be dead.”

“So she’s Trina.” Chu Nan looked at the girl curiously.

Trina had red lips and white teeth. Her face was soft and rosy, and her golden hair flowed down her head like a waterfall. Her appearance was exquisite like a porcelain doll. Although she was still young, it was obvious that she would definitely be an astonishing beauty when she grew up.

Even if outsiders who did not know her previously saw such a beautiful girl, they would be fond of her at first glance. It was no wonder that Xio, this grandfather, would dote on her.

“However, Xio said that he and Trina are waiting for me…”

Chu Nan looked at Trina, but she just happened to glare at him. Then, she turned to look at him and met his gaze.

Trina immediately smiled sweetly at Chu Nan, squatted down slightly, and bowed to him.

“Hello, Brother Chu Nan. My name is Trina. I’m very happy to see you.”
