Like all high-end hotels that can host such large banquets, outside the halls used in the main venues, there are always several much secret halls that are specifically designed for guests who need some secret space.

Chu Nan met the person who wanted to see him in one of the small halls.

To his surprise, this man was actually an old man with gray hair and wrinkles. Judging from his appearance, he should be at least over seventy, and it was enough to be Chu Nan's grandfather.

However, although the old man was old, his face was rosy, his eyes were bright, and he was energetic, but he did not show any old look.

When he saw Chu Nan, the old man looked at Chu Nan carefully twice, his eyes shining.

"Very good! It's indeed a good kid!"

Chu Nan opened his mouth, not knowing how to deal with it for a while, so he could only keep smiling.

Seeing Chu Nan's crampage, the old man opened his mouth and laughed.

The old man just sat there and showed a majestic aura emitted from his body, which made Chu Nan feel a sense of pressure. Now, when he smiled like this, he instantly felt much closer.

"Don't be so nervous. I just want to meet you and chat with you. Come and sit down." The old man pointed to the seat opposite, and then waved his hand to Mr. Zhang who brought Chu Nan in."

Mr. Zhang immediately bowed and retreated.

Chu Nan confirmed again that the status of this old man is by no means simple.

However, he had already been mentally prepared, so he was not surprised. He sat opposite him as the old man told him, looked at him straight, and waited for him to speak again.

The old man looked at Chu Nan again, and his expression showed appreciation.

"Good. Being able to remain calm at any time is one of the qualities that a warrior needs most. Chu Nan, you are doing well in this regard."

Chu Nan finally found the opportunity to speak, smiled slightly, nodded and replied: "Thank you for your praise. May I ask you..."

"It doesn't matter who I am, but you can call me Xiumeng."

Chu Nan looked confused. He was sure that he didn't know the old man he was facing at all, and he had no impression of the name.

"It's right that I don't know me, because we've never met before." Xiu Meng laughed again. "This time I asked them to invite you here, mainly because I heard about your performance in the Xiyun Star Warrior Championship."

"It's because of this..."

Chu Nan's heart moved and asked strangely: "Just heard?"

"Oh, no, I heard of it at first, but later I asked them to record your game videos and found that you performed very well just like what they said. Especially in the last game, you were able to defeat Maruk of the Kheil Kingdom, which really surprised me."

"You've been awarded."

Chu Nan smiled, not caring too much about Xiu Meng's evaluation.

Many people on the federal media and Pan Galaxy Network have highly praised his performance in the Warrior Championships. Chu Nan has long been numb to this kind of praise.

"Of course, the reason I asked them to come here is that you are the young warrior from our Ziyun Star. You have become famous in the Warrior Championship, not only defending our Earth Federation, but also bringing glory to our Ziyun Star. This time I see you, in addition to praising you in person, I also want to give you some rewards."

Chu Nan waved his hand quickly: "I'm very happy to be able to receive your face-to-face praise. As for the reward, I don't need it. I don't think I'm qualified to accept any special rewards."

"Hey, why? I look down on me as an old man?" Xiu Meng looked angry.

"No, no, of course not. But to be honest... I'm just trying my best to compete for myself, and I never thought about defending federal honors and winning glory for Ziyun Star..." Chu Nan scratched his head embarrassedly.

After waking up from a coma in the hospital, Chu Nan was idle and also read a lot of comments about his previous closure through the Pan Galaxy Network. He found that the federal media liked to say that he defended the federal honor through hard work, and even the media called him a federal hero.

To be honest, Chu Nan was a little complacent when he first saw these comments.

But after reading too much, I gradually became very disgusted with this statement.

He is not as noble as those media say, "to protect the last glory of the Federation" and "to defend the dignity of the Federation to the death"...

Stop talking, he just wants to get to the finals.

When he punched the last punch, he had nothing in his head, only one thought, that was to punch!

Now these media have given Chu Nan such a tall and noble slogan, but he doesn't have such a thick face to accept it calmly.

Hearing Chu Nan's answer, Xiu Meng was stunned for a moment and then burst into laughter.

"Haha... OK... OK, I just like your straightforward kid. That's right, let those official statements go to hell! For my own competition, that's right! When I was fighting hard on the battlefield, I didn't fight for the bullshit federal honors as those guys said, just to protect my family."

Chu Nan looked at him speechlessly, thinking to himself, what did the old man want to change his words later?

And from his tone, did he join the Federal Army when he was young?

In the past hundred years, the large-scale war between the Earth Federation only lasted forty years and the Kheli Kingdom.

Judging from the age, more than 40 years ago, the old man in front of him was in his prime at that time, but he was indeed the age of joining the army. Maybe he would participate in the war with the Kheli Kingdom at that time.

"Well, that's right, we were indeed fighting with those kids from Kheelly back then. That was so tragic back then..."

Xiu Meng affirmed Chu Nan's guess, then he seemed to open up his conversation and began to talk about his various experiences on the battlefield.

This was the first time Chu Nan heard a retired veteran who had personally experienced that war telling the story of the past. He couldn't help but listen to it, and occasionally raised some details that were not visible in various documents. He even became so excited that he started to dance.

The old and the young talked about everything, but they chatted for half an hour in one breath before they could breathe a sigh of relief.

"Well... OK, I can't finish talking about that war for three days and three nights. If you want to hear it in the future, my old man will welcome you to me at any time."

After talking about a thrilling raid led a team, Xiu Meng waved his hand and finally stopped the topic.

"Let's go back to the serious business. I just said that because of your outstanding performance in the Warrior Championship... I don't care whether you are for yourself or for the Federation, in short, you killed that guy from Kheeley and didn't let him enter the finals. I like you very much and am willing to give you some rewards."

Chu Nan's words were blocked in his throat by him, and he had to smile bitterly and shrugged.

"Since you are willing to do this, it's hard for me to refuse."

"Well, men should be more comfortable like this. My old man decided to give you a reward, just keep it alive. As for the reward... If I give you some money or something, it would be too vulgar, and I would look down on you."

Chu Nan moved his lips and wanted to say that if you really give me some money, I would be very happy to accept it.

After all, he is still worried about the expenses he has after entering Nebula Academy.

But since the old man had no intention of this, Chu Nan was really embarrassed to speak up with shame.

"But... I really can't get you a reward with a minimum level B martial arts like Mu Yutong."

Chu Nan looked at him with some amusement.

Could he be prepared to give some ingenious rewards?

"Chu Nan, I have seen the things you said about you in the media. Your biggest problem now is that you have not accumulated enough before, so it will be difficult to break through the universe in the future, right?"

"Well. Both venerables judged this way, but I don't think that there is no way to break through." Chu Nan nodded and said.

"Okay, I like it, I like it." Xiu Meng gesturing Chu Nan. "But after all, the judgment made by two star-level warriors must make sense. But... what they said is not completely right. At least I know that a person's situation is similar to yours, but later he successfully broke through the Zhouyu Tianguan and is now a famous expert in the Federation."

Chu Nan's heart moved.

Is it him that Xiu Meng said?
