Beautiful CEO's Super Expert

Then everyone scattered to search, while Lan Xinyi stayed with Su Chen and they entered a room together!

Each room maintained its overall shape, but all had varying degrees of damage. For example, in this room, a corner on the right had collapsed, allowing light to shine directly in.

After entering, the two naturally began rummaging around, but Su Chen's search was slightly different from Lan Xinyi's; he paid more attention to peculiar spots.

In his view, if something could be found easily, it wouldn't fall to him to find it.

They searched this room for about half an hour without finding anything, so they moved on to the next room.

Just like that, they searched room by room, and before they knew it, several hours had passed, yet they found nothing.

"Xinyi, have you discovered anything?"

At this moment, Lan Haifeng approached and asked.

"No."

Lan Xinyi shook her head and then asked:

"What about your side?"

Earlier, they had been searching in separate directions, one group going left and the other right, thus Lan Xinyi's question.

"Nothing at all."

Lan Haifeng replied, somewhat dejected.

In the next two to three hours, they searched three to four more rooms meticulously but still found nothing!

Of course, Lan Haifeng was with them too.

After all, this place was almost a thousand square meters large, with many rooms and corridors, though severely damaged in many parts!

Su Chen had speculated about what kind of relic this might be to be so vast?

A super sect or family from the Ancient Era, or perhaps a palace from a certain dynasty?

However, after so many years, even the Ancient Martial World hadn't figured out the origin of these ruins, so naturally, he was also clueless.

Before long, they entered another room just as a few other members of Yunhai Hall also arrived.

"Eh, this room seems a bit different!"

As soon as they entered, Lan Xinyi let out a light exclamation.

Su Chen also felt this room was somewhat different; while other rooms were square, this one was circular!

Of course, this room was equally dilapidated, featuring several large columns inside the circular hall that stood out prominently!

"This room is different; everyone, quickly search!"

Lan Haifeng hurriedly instructed the other Yunhai Hall members.

By now, Lan Haifeng had recovered from the initial panic of seeing Su Chen and naturally still harbored hostility, fearing any valuable item might get snatched away by him!

Once he spoke, the others immediately began searching around the circular hall.

"Su Chen, what are you looking at?"

Lan Xinyi was also about to search but paused when she saw Su Chen frowning and observing the surroundings, prompting her to ask.

"Xinyi, don't you find this room strange?"

Su Chen asked.

"Strange?"

Lan Xinyi was slightly taken aback, then replied:

"It is a bit strange; other rooms are square, but this room is circular."

"That's not what I mean."

Su Chen said with a frown, his gaze continually scanning the room.

"Then what are you referring to?"

Lan Xinyi wondered, if not that, what's strange?

"I haven't figured it out yet, but there's something that feels off."

Su Chen said, furrowing his brows slightly.

"Pretentious!"

Not far away, Lan Haifeng curled his lips with disdain.

"Idiot!"

Su Chen coldly spat out two words!

"What did you say!"

Hearing Su Chen call him an idiot, Lan Haifeng immediately responded in a cold voice.

Su Chen ignored him, continuing to scrutinize the circular hall.

"Explain yourself! Who are you calling an idiot!"

Seeing Su Chen's indifference only fueled Lan Haifeng's anger, even prompting him to want to teach Su Chen a lesson!

"Lan Haifeng, what are you doing!"

Seeing Lan Haifeng's furious demeanor, Lan Xinyi loudly reprimanded him.

"Lan Xinyi, didn't you hear what he called me, and you're asking what I'm doing!"

Upon hearing that Lan Xinyi wasn't criticizing Su Chen but instead questioning him, Lan Haifeng became even more infuriated!

"If you hadn't provoked him first, would he have called you that?"

Lan Xinyi said bluntly.

In Lan Xinyi's view, Su Chen was standing there minding his own business, without bothering anyone, and it was Lan Haifeng's sarcastic 'pretentious' comment that started the trouble.

"You..."

Lan Haifeng was so annoyed by Lan Xinyi's words that his face turned red!

After being called an idiot, she was still siding against him! What's so good about this guy, just some trash at the Meridian Expansion Eighth Layer, yet Lan Xinyi was defending him!

Su Chen was slightly surprised by Lan Xinyi's words and glanced at her.

Feeling Su Chen's gaze, Lan Xinyi was a bit embarrassed and quickly changed the subject:

"Alright, we're all here to hunt for treasure, let's not have unnecessary arguments."

"Hmph, just wait!"

Lan Haifeng grumbled and returned to his search.

"Kid, you just keep being arrogant, but soon you won't be able to!"

As he turned away, a sinister and cunning expression appeared on his face!

Su Chen wasn't interested in dealing with him for now, so he continued his observations. Lan Xinyi, curious, stood by his side, unsure of what he was thinking!

She didn't disturb Su Chen, rather finding his thoughtful demeanor to have a unique charm!

"Xinyi, don't you think there's something off about these columns?"

Su Chen asked, stroking his chin with one hand.

"Aren't columns in a circular hall fairly normal?"

Lan Xinyi responded, somewhat clueless.

"Having columns is normal, but don't you think the positioning of these four columns feels a bit awkward?"

Su Chen spoke again:

"Are columns in halls typically arranged like this?"

Su Chen looked around and finally confirmed it, realizing the unsettling feeling came from these columns!

Specifically, the positioning of these columns was quite different from usual architectural norms!

"They do seem a bit off!"

With Su Chen's prompt, Lan Xinyi looked at the columns again and indeed sensed something amiss!

"And Xinyi, look at that column."

Su Chen pointed to one of the columns and told Lan Xinyi:

"A small section at the top of that column has broken off, disconnecting from the roof, yet the room isn't affected at all, indicating that this column wasn't meant to bear any weight."

"It really is!"

Lan Xinyi's eyes widened in surprise and delight.

She might have noticed it, but she hadn't thought about it as Su Chen did, or perhaps she simply overlooked it without much thought.

"What's the use of saying so much!"

Su Chen's words naturally reached Lan Haifeng's ears, he thought to himself secretly.

However, this time he didn't embarrass himself by speaking up...
