Shen Qingqiu paused when he heard that.
He looked at Jiang Lan and found him utterly serious, without the slightest hint of a joke.
After a few seconds of silence, Shen Qingqiu spoke softly.
"What are you thinking? I'm only at the middle meridian-opening stage. What could I do in Central Base City?"
"Why couldn't you?" Jiang Lan said. "Auntie, you're a Salvage Team captain here. You could work there too. The middle meridian-opening stage isn't weak."
Shen Qingqiu said nothing, lowering his head slightly.
Central Base City. It wasn't as though he had never heard of the place.
Huaguo's Central Base City could practically be called the strongest human Base City on all of Blue Star. Its resources and opportunities far surpassed those of the Outlying Base City where they currently lived.
Never mind someone at the middle meridian-opening stage like him. Throw a brick in Central Base City, and it could knock down a whole crowd of astral condensation realm martial artists.
He didn't think he would have much of a future there.
But Jiang Lan had said he wanted him to come along...
Shen Qingqiu couldn't put his feelings into words. He only felt a sudden flutter in his heart.
"Stop fooling around."
Jiang Lan looked at Shen Qingqiu and pressed his lips together.
Since Auntie hasn't refused outright, there's still a chance.
"Auntie, don't worry. Besides, you said it yourself. There are bound to be better prospects in Central Base City than here."
"Trust me."
Shen Qingqiu opened his mouth, seemingly at a loss for words. After a brief pause, he finally nodded.
Two days later, at noon.
After training ended, Chu Yun called everyone to lunch as usual.
"Godfather, coming? My treat today."
"You guys go ahead. I've got something to do."
"Something again?"
