Kong Rui was stunned. She didn’t expect the Patriarch to mention this.

“I did go to the First Restaurant today.” Kong Rui didn’t intend to deny it. After all, a group of people had seen her.

Hearing the Patriarch mention the First Restaurant, Chao Bai, who was originally standing a few steps away from Kong Rui, immediately took a few steps forward.

Only then did the Patriarch notice that an outsider had entered the Li family’s residence!

The Patriarch was shocked. How could he be so off guard that he only realized this person’s existence now?

However, this person’s aura was very strange. If one didn’t carefully distinguish it, it would be really difficult to discover it!

Kong Rui noticed the Patriarch’s anxious expression and subconsciously blocked in front of Chao Bai.

She had brought Chao Bai back. She couldn’t let Chao Bai get killed by the Patriarch as soon as he entered the residence!

Chao Bai glanced at Kong Rui, who was blocking in front of him. Although he frowned, there was mirth in his eyes. It had been a long time since someone stood up for him!

Ever since his family members had passed away, he had been alone. This feeling of being protected was actually quite nice!

The Patriarch looked at Chao Bai and then at Kong Rui. Seeing that the other party didn’t seem to have any killing intent, he asked Kong Rui, “This is?”

Kong Rui rolled her eyes and used the excuse she had thought of earlier. “I met this person at the restaurant today. He’s a powerhouse from outside. Because he was treated unfairly at the restaurant, he attacked those people. I had a good chat with him, and he was willing to help the Li family, so I brought him back.”

From Li Ling’s words, it seemed like this person was the person who caused the commotion in the First Restaurant today?

He singlehandedly defeated dozens of people in the restaurant alone, including the genius of the Nie family, Nie Yin?

The Li family’s patriarch couldn’t help but look at Chao Bai in a different light.

When a person had absolute strength, no matter how eccentric he was, there would still be people who were willing to pay for him!

Now, the Li family’s patriarch was looking forward to being the one to foot the bill!

He looked at Chao Bai with glowing eyes. “Young Master, how should I address you?”

Kong Rui secretly sneered, but quickly restrained her emotions. “His name is…”

Only then did Kong Rui realize that she had been too focused on bargaining with him to learn his name…

Seeing that Kong Rui didn’t answer, although Chao Bai was a little dissatisfied, he planned to answer the question himself.

Kong Rui spoke first. “Cong Bai. His name is Cong Bai.”

Chao Bai blinked at Kong Rui, not understanding why she had changed his name.

Just as he was about to protest, Kong Rui tugged at his clothes. Although Chao Bai was dissatisfied, he still obediently shut his mouth.

The two of them had already discussed earlier that after Chao Bai followed Kong Rui back to the Li family’s residence, he would listen to Kong Rui’s arrangements.

Since she said his name was Cong Bai, so be it.

The Li family’s patriarch frowned slightly, but he still smiled at Chao Bai. “Where did you come from?”

Chao Bai pursed his lips and was about to say that he was from Spirit Mountain.

Kong Rui grabbed his clothes again to shut him up.

“He came from a neighboring country to watch the Spirit Beast Tournament.” Kong Rui made it up.

“He brought me away from the First Restaurant today because he saw my performance in the Spirit Beast Tournament. Young Master Cong said that he thinks that I have a high chance of winning the Spirit Beast Tournament!”

When he heard this, the Li family’s patriarch immediately raised his neck and said proudly, “Of course. Your current strength is naturally unrivaled! It will definitely be easy for you to win the Spirit Beast Tournament! However, if Young Master Cong is willing to help, I think you will have a higher chance of winning!”

Kong Rui could tell what the Li family’s patriarch meant. He was clearly hoping that Chao Bai would help.

Although he didn’t see Chao Bai’s strength with his own eyes, the entire city was currently discussing what happened in the First Restaurant.

In particular, the genius of the Nie family, Nie Yin, and the pavilion master of High Heaven Pavilion, Zi Xuan, were both restrained by this person with a single move. His strength naturally couldn’t be underestimated.

However, if such a powerhouse openly entered the Li family’s residence, he would probably be suspected by others, which would be detrimental to the Li family’s reputation.
