Chapter 1278: Chapter 1278
Actually, Su Chen initially planned for Ouyang Jing to go with him, but after considering several factors, the two of them discussed it, and Ouyang Jing decided to stay at the villa.
After all, those going to the Dark Forest are from top-notch forces, and they're quite exclusive!
After leaving the side courtyard, Su Chen returned to his room to cultivate.
Around eleven o'clock, the ladies also returned to their rooms one after another. Su Chen's eyes lit up, and he stealthily slipped into Lin Ruoxue's room...
The next morning, as the sunlight streamed into the room, Lin Ruoxue slowly opened her eyes.
She snuggled in Su Chen's embrace, feeling the warmth of his body, a sense of peace and security washed over her, a feeling of serene times welling up in her heart...
She closed her eyes slightly and continued to sleep for a while.
About ten minutes later, Su Chen also woke up, smiling as he gently kissed Lin Ruoxue on the shoulder.
Lin Ruoxue had only been napping and wasn't truly asleep. Feeling Su Chen's actions, she smiled and said.
Su Chen chuckled, then sat up a bit and placed a cigarette at the corner of his mouth.
Just as he was about to light it, Lin Ruoxue stretched out a slender, lotus-root-white arm from the covers, taking the lighter from his hand and lit it for him.
Su Chen smiled slightly, lit his cigarette, and leaned against the bedhead to smoke, with one arm around Lin Ruoxue.
After finishing the cigarette, they both got up, washed up, and went to the dining room.
After breakfast, Lin Ruoxue and the others went to work. Su Chen originally wanted Lin Ruoxue to rest at home for a day or two, but Lin Ruoxue said it was fine, so Su Chen let it be.
A while later, Su Chen and Eniel and the others returned to their rooms to cultivate...
Time always flies by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a week has passed!
During this week, Su Chen returned to those familiar days of the past. Most of his time was, of course, spent on cultivation. In his leisure time, he either soaked in hot springs or took advantage of the ladies.
For Su Chen, such days were still the most relaxing and enjoyable!
However, he was unaware that at this moment, the top forces of the Ancient Martial World had already exploded because of him!
Perhaps the death of the Young Sect Master of the Wind and Cloud Sect hadn't caused much of a stir, but the death of Chu Yuntian from Wuji Sect undoubtedly dropped a heavy bomb among the top forces, leaving everyone utterly shocked!
After all, Chu Yuntian was one of those top prodigies, and no one dared to underestimate him!
If Chu Yuntian had gotten into a conflict with other prodigies and was killed, people might somewhat understand, but when they found out he was killed by a young person Qin Nishang brought, whom they hardly knew, it was hard to accept!
Wuji Sect even sent someone to Qin Nishang's home to inquire about Su Chen's background, but the Qin family also knew nothing!
Truth be told, the Qin family was also a bit bewildered by the situation!
When queried, Qin Nishang certainly wouldn't reveal Su Chen's details and used various tactics to evade and maneuver!
She knew, after all, if Wuji Sect genuinely wanted to investigate, they'd eventually find out!
Until then, she could only delay for as long as possible!
This was the only thing she could currently do for him...
Su Chen naturally wasn't aware of this, though he could somewhat guess.
He felt helpless about it; that guy wanted to kill him, what else could he do but kill in return!
It's the simplest, most straightforward logic!
For Su Chen, the subsequent troubles could only be tackled as they came!
Fortunately, he believed that with his current strength, Wuji Sect might not be able to do much to him!
Moreover, Su Chen didn't think they'd first target the people around him, not because they're kind, but because it would sound bad if word got out!
If this matter spread, people would say Wuji Sect needed to threaten family members to deal with a young guy, which would be shameful!
Especially for these top-notch forces! Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽
Like other Ancient Martial World powers, they would resort to unscrupulous means only after all else failed!
Though this was just Su Chen's guess, he felt somewhat confident!
So his mood remained relatively light, without thinking much about it.
After finishing cultivation that day, Su Chen casually drove to the Belle Group!
In the ground floor lobby of the Group's building, upon seeing Su Chen enter, the reception girls immediately smiled and greeted:
"Hello, Director Su!"
Seeing this, Su Chen walked over, bantered a few words with them, making the girls giggle, before leaving!
He first went to his office, habitually brewed a cup of tea, then rested his feet on the desk, and picked up the latest two or three issues of magazines to enjoy!
Since his return, it was the first time he visited the Group, naturally having missed a few issues.
He admired the photos of glamorous women inside, clicking his tongue in praise!
If outsiders saw this scene, they would be amazed; it didn't look like he was a department head at all!
But for the people at Belle Group, this was all too normal!
No need to mention anything else, the fact that he shows up is already quite rare!
No helping it, after all, he's the president's husband!
It didn't take long for Su Chen to finish flipping through the two or three magazines and then played a game he hadn't played in a while for about an hour. By then, the cup of tea was about finished, so he stepped out.
He first visited Lin Ruoxue, who seemed in good spirits, apparently not much affected by the previous matters.
Although Lin Ruoxue now had the experience not to let Su Chen linger long, otherwise it would be nearly impossible for her to work well!
So, half an hour later, Su Chen was "mercilessly" kicked out!
He then went to Luo Xiwen, but unfortunately, Luo Xiwen was not there, seemingly having gone out for some urgent matter!
So he turned to Xia Qiuru, only to receive similar treatment as with Lin Ruoxue!
Su Chen deeply suspected the two women had coordinated this!
With no other choice, a bored Su Chen went to the Public Relations Department!
At least he was still holding the title of the head of the Public Relations Department, so he might as well show some face!
At the PR department, Su Chen get a full taste of what "a world of extremes" meant!
Because the women in the PR department were so enthusiastic that Su Chen escaped hastily...
