"But it would be a real pity to miss out on this kid!"
Yao Zhe sighed and said:
"Not just his skills in formation, even his martial arts cultivation is impressive!"
"I know, the fact that he was able to take that palm strike from Yu the Protector today shows that his cultivation has advanced again. Honestly, I can't even imagine how fast it is!"
"Right, as for letting him join the Hidden Dragon Hall, let's just let it happen naturally. At least our relationship with him is pretty good now, that's enough."
Yao Zhe nodded when he heard this, and temporarily let it go.
After leaving the Hidden Dragon Hall, Su Chen remembered that he had forgotten to ask Yao Zhe about Shengyi Gate.
Fortunately, he had to help them set up a Gathering Yuan Formation two days later, so it wouldn't be too late to ask then.
Since it was already evening when he left the Hidden Dragon Hall, Su Chen didn't go back to the company and drove straight home instead.
What Su Chen didn't know was that as he and Yan Xi were driving home, a figure had just left the Imperial Garden.
To be precise, they had just left the villa he shared with Lin Ruoxue.
However, neither Auntie Sun nor Nanny Wang, nor Little Ruohan noticed anything.
After Su Chen got home, he went straight to his room to cultivate, continuing until Lin Ruoxue returned home that night.
In the evening, as usual, everyone had dinner together.
After dinner, Lin Ruoxue went upstairs to continue working, which was a common occurrence, so the family was not surprised.
Su Chen naturally went to the bedroom to continue cultivating, as he was eager to enter the Meridian Expansion Realm as soon as possible!
Today at the Hidden Dragon Hall, when facing that palm strike from Yu Xiangdong, he felt so powerless!
If it had been a one-on-one duel, without Wei Hua and Yao Zhe intervening, the opponent could have easily killed him!
At that moment, he truly felt how weak he still was!
At that moment, he craved power immensely!
And power comes from regular cultivation!
After cultivating in the evening and at night, the injury from the palm strike by Yu Xiangdong in the afternoon had somewhat improved, but his chest and abdomen still ached faintly.
The next day, he didn't go to work. After giving Pei Man a massage, he went back home to cultivate.
After another day of cultivation, his injuries were almost fully healed, with no major issues remaining.
However, in the evening, his aunt Su Jin called, saying that it had been a while since she last saw him and Lin Ruoxue, and she invited them for dinner.
He immediately called Lin Ruoxue, but she was too busy and had no time, apparently discussing a collaboration with a young master from the Hames Family whom Su Chen had met before.
However, since Lin Ruoxue and Su Jin were quite familiar, it was no big deal, as they could always meet again in Yandu anytime.
Su Chen had no choice but to go alone, and once there, he treated it as his own home.
Apart from eating, the main topic from Su Jin was urging him and Lin Ruoxue to have a child soon!
Su Chen was puzzled, as he and Lin Ruoxue were still young. Why were these people in such a hurry?
He didn't know that after the Five Great Families' matters were settled, Su Jin's biggest concern now was this!
Su Jin initially planned to wrap up matters in Yandu, then hand over the Jinsheng Group to Lin Ruoxue, and travel the world.
But she soon realized that this would make Lin Ruoxue even busier, with even less time to have children.
So she changed her mind, deciding to continue working until they had a child.
After all, she was going to hand over the Jinsheng Group to them eventually.
Su Chen couldn't stand Su Jin's urging anymore, and hurriedly left after finishing dinner!
It wasn't until he had driven a distance away from Su Jin's estate that he finally breathed a sigh of relief!
He felt that both Old Master Lin and Su Jin seemed more concerned about them having a child than they were, no, much more concerned, as if it had become their top priority!
Su Chen's Buick sped along the roads of Yandu. He then opened the car window and lit a cigarette.
His brows furrowed slightly, as it seemed Su Jin's invitation tonight had another purpose besides urging them to have a child. She appeared hesitant to speak about it each time.
Su Chen asked twice, but Su Jin just shook her head, saying it was nothing, so he didn't press further.
Yet, what could be so difficult for his aunt to talk about?
Su Chen pondered for a long time but couldn't think of anything significant enough to trouble her .
He smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking to himself: Maybe I'm just being too sensitive?
At that moment, three figures suddenly appeared in front of his car. They were three handsome foreigners.
What was strange was that they were wearing rare tailcoats!
This street was sparsely populated, especially in the deep winter night, making it clear that these people had deliberately chosen this place.
Su Chen stopped the car and got out, asking:
As for their identities, Su Chen couldn't discern much about them yet. Could they be from the Judgment Department?
But the Judgment Department wouldn't respond so quickly, right?
"We're here to take your life!"
"You can try to kill me, but at least tell me why. I don't want to die without knowing why!"
Su Chen's lips curled into a slight smile.
These people didn't have a True Essence Aura, but they were definitely not ordinary people!
"Fine, I'll let you die knowing why."
The man looked at Su Chen and said:
"You killed our young master, Gapa, didn't you?"
The name seemed familiar to Su Chen, and suddenly a thought flashed in his mind, making him realize.
The Blood Clan member he killed was named Gapa, wasn't he?
Su Chen's voice turned cold immediately. He had no fondness for these blood-sucking creatures; calling them heinous would not be an exaggeration!
He closely observed them, noticing the same unnaturally pale complexion and a faint scent of blood as Gapa.
"So it was you who killed our young master!"
The man's killing intent surged upon hearing Su Chen's words.
They had initially deduced Su Chen was likely the one who killed their young master based on various pieces of information but couldn't be sure.
Now, hearing Su Chen's words confirmed their suspicion!
"Yes, I killed him. His crimes were heinous beyond redemption, he deserved to die!"
Su Chen coldly replied...
