Chapter 227 Ancient Martial Arts Family Arrives
Yun Yao felt a pang of pain in her heart, but she had to pretend to be strong on the surface.
"Su Yuchen, try to be more open-minded. We're not children anymore... Mmm..." A kiss sealed his lips, and those heartless words could no longer be uttered.
He plundered her frantically, his hand tightening around her waist.
Yun Yao's suit jacket fell to the ground. Looking at the person in front of her who seemed possessed, she slowly loosened her hands that were hanging by her sides.
This kiss contained so much: Su Yuchen's anger and Yun Yao's pain, but at the last moment, they stopped in perfect unison.
A few beads of blood seeped from the corner of Yun Yao's mouth, and Su Yuchen's eyes reddened slightly. His raised hand was slapped down by Yun Yao.
"Mr. Su, I'm going to take a shower, please."
Su Yuchen forced a bitter smile and glanced at him with a gloomy expression.
"Yun Yao, are all immortals as heartless and emotionless as you?"
Yun Yao remained silent, watching Su Yuchen's lonely figure disappear from her sight.
As the door closed, Yun Yao looked as if she had been pulled out of the water, her body unsteady, and she barely managed to steady herself by holding onto the corner of the table.
She locked herself in the bathroom, and the icy water poured over her head, finally making her a little more awake.
She was just a hair's breadth away from being able to hug him.
Looking at her hands, Yun Yao felt a little annoyed. If she had magical powers now, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths.
Those people from the ancient martial arts families might be able to act as a catalyst.
Thinking this, Yun Yao's eyes sharpened. She turned off the shower, wrapped herself in a towel, and opened the door.
Su Yuchen was putting the clothes on the bed when he heard the bathroom door open behind him, and he stopped in his tracks.
He looked up and saw Yun Yao sizing him up.
Su Yuchen: "..."
The person in front of me is so dazzling that it's hard to... look away.
Her wet hair cascaded over her shoulders, and droplets of water trickled down her slender swan neck...
Yun Yao: "..." This idiot.
"What are you standing there for? Get out," Yun Yao suddenly said.
Su Yuchen's eyes darted away for a moment, but his embarrassment didn't really show on his arrogant face.
Su Yuchen's eyes swept over him casually, then...
"generally."
Having said that, he walked past her.
Yun Yao: "???" Huh, just average?
"Su Yuchen, say that again!"
All she got in return was a closed door.
When the spell failed, Yun Yao threw her slipper out, and it slammed against the door with a "thud".
……
The two of them were unaware of the chaotic scene unfolding in the hall.
Gu Chen was respectfully asked to get out of the car by Gu Huixin and her group, but Gu Chen immediately spotted the "culprit" parked not far away in the courtyard.
His face suddenly darkened, and Gu Huixin's heart skipped a beat.
"Is there something wrong with 'ancient'?"
Gu Chen pointed at the Rolls-Royce, his fingers trembling.
"Whose car is this? Whose is it? Step forward!"
Gu Chen truly lived up to his reputation as the strongest person besides the patriarch of the ancient martial arts family; even his angry shout was enough to send chills down one's spine.
When they looked in the direction Gu Chen was pointing, everyone fell silent.
Gu Chen also noticed their unease and asked in a deep voice, "What, are you afraid to speak?"
Gu Huixin was the first to react, secretly delighted, but outwardly she appeared troubled.
"Old Gu, we really can't afford to offend the owner of this car!"
Gu Chen usually hates people who bully others by taking advantage of their power. Upon hearing Gu Huixin's words, he naturally categorized the car owner into the type he disliked the most.
"Hmph, dare to say it. I want to see if he can defy the heavens."
Gu Huixin had been waiting for these words, and said in a low voice, "This is the car of the number one businessman in the capital. I don't know how he offended you. As an elder, I apologize on his behalf. I hope you will be magnanimous and not hold it against him." Gu Huixin's words were impeccable, but they put Su Yuchen in the eye of the storm.
To claim to be the number one person in front of these arrogant people from ancient martial arts families is nothing short of humiliating oneself.
Sure enough, when Gu Huixin finished speaking, Gu Chen and Ouyang Xing's expressions both darkened.
"The number one? What a number one! Today I'll see just who this person hailed as number one really is!"
Mo Peichen and Chen Dong heard Gu Chen's words as soon as they came out. They were puzzled and were about to ask the people next to them what had happened when they heard Gu Huixin's sharp voice suddenly rang out.
"Mo Peichen, where's your CEO Su? Is he still with a sweet and gentle woman in his arms?"
Mo Peichen wasn't stupid either. He could tell from the strange looks in everyone's eyes that Gu Huixin was probably after Su Yuchen.
"Patriarch Gu, what do you mean by that?" Mo Peichen asked in a deep voice.
"What do you mean? Mo Peichen, when the esteemed members of the ancient martial arts families came to visit, your master not only failed to come out to greet them, but was even seen cuddling with a woman. So many of us witnessed this with our own eyes, what excuse can you possibly offer?"
"In my opinion, your master is arrogant and doesn't respect the elders of the ancient martial arts families at all. After all, you can tell what kind of person your master is just by looking at your words and actions."
Mo Peichen was so angry he almost laughed; he simply couldn't take it anymore.
“Patriarch Gu, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want, you…”
"Take it down!" Before Mo Peichen could finish speaking, Gu Chen couldn't hold back any longer.
Even though Mo Peichen and Chen Dong were skilled, they were quickly overwhelmed by the sheer number of people. In no time, the two of them had subdued the members of the ancient martial arts family.
"I have led the people of the ancient martial arts family on visits to various countries for so many years, and I have never seen such arrogant and rude people. Do you even have any respect for us?"
"And your master, I still have an old score to settle with him! Hmph, take him away!" Gu Chen waved his hand and led everyone into the hall.
A glint of light flashed in Gu Huixin's eyes as she followed behind, her good mood written all over her face.
She thought Yun Yao's matter would need to be discussed again, but unexpectedly Su Yuchen came knocking on her door again. It would be great if the two of them could resolve either one!
Gu Chen and Ouyang Xing sat at the head of the table, while Mo Peichen and Chen Dong were being held captive below them.
"Where is your master? What, are you scared?" Gu Chen picked up the tea beside him and took a sniff.
People from ancient martial arts families had visited the capital in previous years, but Su Yuchen wasn't interested in currying favor with them. Therefore, the people from Yanshi International had never attended such a welcoming banquet. If it weren't for Yun Yao's presence this year, they wouldn't have come either. As a result, they didn't have a deeper understanding of ancient martial arts families.
“You two are tough nuts to crack. Come on, let’s see how tough your bones are.” Gu Chen waved his hand lightly, and someone stepped forward and kicked Mo Peichen and Chen Dong in the knees.
They both felt the pain, but their eyes remained resolute.
"Pah! I thought ancient martial arts families were so noble, but they're just a bunch of brutes showing off their power. Disgusting!" Mo Peichen spat lightly, his eyes full of disdain.
The two stood in the center of the hall, their backs ramrod straight.
Gu Chen and his group were quite annoyed, as they hadn't expected to encounter so many tough opponents on this trip.
Yun Yao is one, and so are these two today.
Although they thought so, their status and position prevented them from showing any emotion in front of others. Besides, they were now representing an ancient martial arts family and would never allow anyone to disrespect ancient martial arts.
"Fine, very well, haven't you all eaten? Beat them to death!"
