Beautiful CEO's Super Expert

Moving on, the two of them continued forward. Of course, before leaving, Lan Xinyi took the demon core from the black tiger and handed it to Su Chen.

After all, most of the credit for slaying the black tiger belonged to Su Chen, and moreover, he had saved her; how could she have the nerve to keep it?

Su Chen was quite straightforward and easygoing, accepting it without any back-and-forth!

This demon core from the black tiger was quite valuable to him. Consuming it could quickly elevate him to the Ninth Layer of Meridian Expansion!

Of course, Su Chen didn't consume it immediately; he stored it in the Cangyue Ring, planning to use it after returning from the Heavenly Profound Mountain!

"Xinyi, you really have the potential to be a virtuous wife and loving mother!"

Su Chen said while walking:

"Whoever marries you in the future will be incredibly fortunate!"

"I'm not as great as you say!"

Lan Xinyi replied, laughing softly, slightly embarrassed.

At that moment, she was wearing Su Chen's clothes, giving her a particularly indescribable feeling!

The two walked and chatted, feeling very comfortable and truly in tune with each other!

Their interaction was much more relaxed and casual than when they first met, displaying a truer version of themselves!

In Lan Xinyi's life, she had never met someone as interesting as him, and for a moment, she found herself quite interested in him.

......

As the two were enjoying their conversation, a few figures appeared at the place where they had battled the black tiger earlier!

These people looked at the black tiger's corpse lying on the ground and were momentarily stunned!

"Haifeng bro, how did this demon beast die?"

One person asked hesitantly.

"Maybe someone lent a helping hand."

Lan Haifeng pondered for a moment, saying, after all, Yunhai Hall is a top-tier force in the Ancient Martial World, and they have many allied forces.

If they encountered a force friendly with Yunhai Hall, and there were people at the Kaiyuan Middle Stage in the opposing team, it would be normal to lend a hand!

Moreover, the demon core from this black tiger was extremely alluring too!

"It seems that the miss is likely still alive!"

Lan Haifeng said, feigning joy:

"Let's hurry and follow the tracks; we might see the miss soon!"

Although these were his own people, sometimes it's necessary to keep up appearances!

Besides, indeed, he was quite pleased if Lan Xinyi was alive, considering he had feelings for her!

Soon, Lan Haifeng and a few others followed a trail of footprints, some deep and some shallow, chasing after them...

....

"There is a part of the building over there that is still relatively well-preserved. Let's go take a look."

Su Chen suddenly noticed a section of ruins ahead to the side, and said.

Though it was a scene of broken walls and ruins, the overall structure was fairly intact, with two rows of rooms and corridors, seemingly a part of an ancient palace!

The total area covered several hundred, if not over a thousand square meters!

Such fragmented buildings were quite common throughout the ruins, but finding one with such a large area was very rare, if not the largest!

"Hmm!"

Lan Xinyi naturally had no objections and nodded in agreement.

"Xinyi!"

Just as the two were about to head there, a delighted voice sounded not far behind them.

Lan Xinyi turned to see four or five figures running over!

"Miss, I've been looking for you everywhere!"

Before Lan Xinyi could speak, Lan Haifeng said with a face full of excitement:

"We rushed all the way here, fearing you might be in danger, thankfully, you're safe and sound!"

At this moment, he seemed genuinely worried for Lan Xinyi, and the other people were each putting on their own performances!

Lan Xinyi, hearing this, didn't suspect anything, perhaps they really were scared at the time, running off far away, while she was chased by the black tiger, pushing her speed to the limit!

Lan Haifeng and the others indeed found it difficult to catch up, especially since the others hadn't reached the Kaiyuan Realm, making them naturally slower!

"Just glad everyone's okay."

Though she was somewhat dissatisfied with them fleeing in all directions at the first sign of danger, she let it slide!

If it were someone else being chased by the black tiger, she would certainly rush to help, but some things can't be forced on everyone!

Lan Xinyi had no idea that they watched her being chased by the black tiger and didn't step in even when the situation was extremely dire!

If she knew, her heart would probably freeze over!

"You... why are you... here?"

At this time, Lan Haifeng finally noticed Su Chen beside Lan Xinyi, immediately widening his eyes in disbelief!

How was he still alive, and why was he here, with Lan Xinyi?

"What? Haven't we met before? Forgot so soon?"

Su Chen said, a playful smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

Upon seeing the shock on Lan Haifeng's face, Su Chen became even more certain that it was this guy who deliberately leaked his route to that Young Master Zhou Hao of the Liewu Sect, wanting to kill him with a borrowed knife!

"Of course... I remember."

Lan Haifeng said awkwardly:

"I just didn't expect you to be with our miss."

Earlier, regardless of words or gaze, Lan Haifeng had shown clear hostility towards Su Chen. At this moment, under guilt, he wasn't displaying that, instead appearing somewhat flustered!

Lan Haifeng also realized his state wasn't quite right, calming his shocked emotions, then looking at Lan Xinyi curiously, asking:

"Xinyi, earlier I saw the black tiger's corpse, how did you deal with it?"

"Oh, it's like this, thanks to…"

Lan Xinyi was about to say thanks to Su Chen's help, but she saw Su Chen shaking his head slightly, though puzzled, she stopped in time, saying:

"Thankfully, we encountered a few seniors from the Ancient Martial World who helped us take care of the demon beast."

"Oh, so that's how it was."

Lan Haifeng nodded, thinking, just as he had thought.

"Alright, Xinyi, let's go check it out up front!"

Su Chen said, not exposing the matter for now, he surely wouldn't admit it now.

Of course, Su Chen not exposing it also had another purpose!

Then Su Chen walked towards the front as if nothing had happened, with Lan Xinyi walking beside him, and Lan Haifeng and the others following closely behind.

Before long, they arrived at the scene resembling an ancient palace's ruins and proceeded inside!

A few columns lay collapsed on the ground, bricks and tiles scattered everywhere, many places already covered in cobwebs!

"Everyone, look around, maybe we'll find something."

Lan Xinyi said; she didn't hold much hope, knowing this place had been searched many times before, even if there was something, it likely wouldn't be their turn.

However, across the entire ruins, except for the deepest parts, which place hadn't been searched countless times?

Every year, some treasures are still found, aren't they?
