Beautiful CEO's Super Expert

"I know," Xia Qiuru replied indifferently.

Of course, she was well aware of it. How could someone who could willinglly make the arrogant and wild heir of the Yun Family submit be simple?

But what about it?

To Xia Qiuru, whether he was simple or not wasn't important.

What mattered was the person himself, his heart.

After finishing speaking, Xia Qiuru returned to the house, followed by Xu Xinran.

....

Su Chen was driving along the streets of Jianghai. Since it was already late in the evening and it was raining heavily, there were almost no pedestrians on the roads.

Most of the shops had closed, too; only the dim street lights were still on, illuminating the swaying rain strands with unusual clarity.

Su Chen controlled the steering wheel with one hand and smoked with the other, his mind somewhat complicated.

He was somewhat unsure about how to handle his relationship with Xia Qiuru. He couldn't pretend that he didn't feel Xia Qiuru's affection for him.

If it had been the Su Chen of before, he wouldn't be so conflicted. Everyone is a man or a woman after all. Whether it's sleeping together or breaking up, just let nature take its course.

But the Su Chen of now could no longer be so carefree!

Before, he could effortlessly juggle multiple women at the same time, but now, just two women already gave him a headache.

Maybe I really am getting old, he thought to himself.

Just as Su Chen was feeling irritable, he suddenly saw a figure appearing before his car.

The person wore a black Taoist robe, with a face full of deep lines as though carved by time itself.

He appeared silently, as if descending from the sky!

Su Chen stopped the car and got out, his expression somewhat impatient.

He could tell that this old man was no ordinary person. By his estimate, this old man was at least at the Qi Refinement Realm Triple Layer.

"You don't seem surprised to see me," said the old man, his voice somewhat hoarse.

"Are you here to kill me?" Su Chen asked, tilting his head and not paying too much attention to the other.

Now he was at the Qi Refinement Realm Fifth Layer, and the True Yuan of the Nine Yang Divine Technique he cultivated was enormously dense. His Fifth Layer Realm was already equivalent to the Seventh or Eighth Layer Realm of an average cultivator.

Although he wasn't in top condition at the moment and his True Yuan hadn't fully recovered, dealing with someone in the Triple Layer Realm would be a piece of cake.

"I'm not here to kill you, but I don't mind doing so," the old man said, his tone flat and unwavering.

"If that's the case, then make your move," Su Chen said, getting a bit impatient, as he needed to head home quickly.

"If you're so eager to die, then I shall fulfill your wish," the old man spoke, and no sooner had his words fallen than he disappeared on the spot, reappearing in front of Su Chen in an instant.

Also appearing in front of Su Chen was a withered palm, powerful and imposing, cutting through the void with such force that even the falling rain was dispersed.

Seeing that the young man before him still had no reaction, a cold smile appeared on the corners of the old man's mouth.

He was very confident in his own strength. After all, he had reached the Qi Refinement Realm Triple Layer and was even close to stepping into the Fourth Layer.

In his eyes, the young man before him was already dead. Facing his palm, it was too late for the young man to react in any way.

The speed and strength of an attack from someone in the Qi Refinement Triple Layer Realm was no joke; even a large elephant could be killed with a single slap, let alone this young man!

Just as the withered palm was less than thirty centimeters away from him, Su Chen moved, but all he did was casually extend a hand and slap towards the other's palm.

"Delusional!"

Seeing the young man's careless appearance, the elder snorted coldly.

He felt the young man before him simply didn't take him seriously, which was a huge blow to his ego!

If you're seeking death, then don't blame me for being ruthless!

The elder had hesitated about sparing the man's life, but now he had no qualms whatsoever!

His withered palm struck with even greater force than before, unstoppable!

"Bang!"

Soon, two palms met, creating a thunderous roar.

The elder suddenly felt as if he'd been struck by a high-speed train, his body involuntarily flying backward, skidding across the pavement for over a dozen meters before crashing down heavily.

The elder coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, struggling to rise, staring in horror at the young man before him.

Who was this young man? How could his strength be so immense?

"Stop showing off in front of me, don't you know you appearing out of nowhere in the middle of the night like a ghost could scare the babies?"

Su Chen disdainfully spit out at the elder.

The elder nearly choked on his own blood again, as Su Chen's words nearly provoked another hemorrhage. His murky eyes glared at Su Chen, teeth clenched, saying,

"I underestimated your excellency, but if you think you've won, you're sadly mistaken!"

Scholars carry scales in their hearts, warriors carry blades—this is what's known as spirit!

Su Chen's strength hadn't made the elder back down; instead, it ignited his fighting will!

Trembling, he fished out a red pill from his pocket and swallowed it.

As soon as he consumed the pill, his face turned beet red, his body immediately radiating an even more imposing aura, halting even the winds and storms!

Su Chen watched coldly, making no move to intervene.

He had guessed that the elder had taken some sort of pill that temporarily boosted potential, pills that, despite their apparent effects, damaged the bodily functions of a martial artist.

And sure enough, as he had expected, after swallowing the pill, the elder's cultivation rapidly broke through the Fourth Layer Realm, reaching the pinnacle of the Fourth Layer, and even the threshold of the Fifth Layer Realm was faintly visible!

Feeling his cultivation soar, the elder's confidence surged!

He believed that the young man before him, no matter how rebellious, couldn't possibly have reached the Fifth Layer Realm at such a young age.

Because between the Fourth and Fifth Layer Realms there lies a threshold; once reaching the Fifth Layer Realm, one can emit True Yuan externally, which is a feat incomparable to the previous four realms!

"Are you ready to die?"

The elder's hoarse voice rang out again, his deeply lined face contorting ferociously.

"We'll see if you have the ability to make that happen."

Su Chen replied indifferently.

All of a sudden, with a loud shout, the elder moved, a blur darting towards Su Chen.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Su Chen, without moving, simply chopped with his hand as if it were a blade, slashing at the approaching blur.

A crescent-shaped milky white energy wave shot rapidly toward the blur.

"Ah~~"

A scream suddenly pierced the air, and the blur froze before crashing heavily to the ground.

The elder looked down at his abdomen, only to see a deep cut to the bone, a gruesome sight!

"True Yuan released externally?!"

The elder looked up at the young man before him, eyes filled with shock!
