Chapter 354: The 350th Beauty Coming Out of the Bath
Among the eight eccentrics, aside from these five people, plus Qiu Yong and the newly joined Ling Chen, there is one more person, who is also the most mysterious among the eight eccentrics.
The reason why he is considered mysterious is that he’s usually silent and reserved, hardly speaks, and always likes to sit alone. This man is about forty years old and goes by the name Xu Ming. He is the second eldest among the eight eccentrics, with a very ordinary appearance that wouldn’t stand out in a crowd.
After Qiu Yong finished introducing everyone, Ling Chen quietly asked Xia Yue for more information, but even Xia Yue didn’t know much about Xu Ming’s background, only that Xu Ming is one of the senior members of the eight eccentrics.
"Elder Qiu, should we... perhaps become sworn brothers?"
Qiu Yong replied with a light smile, "There’s no need for such formalities. We eight eccentrics don’t care for those common rituals, but a drink is unavoidable."
"Let’s go, my treat," Ling Chen said generously.
After the drinks, it was already midnight. Ling Chen said his goodbyes to Qiu Yong and the others, then drove back to Wealthy Manor in a drunken state.
Once he entered his room, Ling Chen didn’t even bother to shower before collapsing into bed and falling asleep, until the next morning when he was woken up by Nanrong Wanqing.
Smelling the scent of alcohol on Ling Chen, Nanrong Wanqing frowned slightly and chided, "Don’t you know to drink less? Too much alcohol is bad for your health."
With sleepy eyes, Ling Chen looked at the beautiful Nanrong Wanqing by his bedside and flashed a grin. Before she could dodge, he grabbed Nanrong Wanqing’s hand and pulled her into his embrace, savoring her intoxicating fragrance.
