After Su Chen ca out, he hurried to the bathroom to tidy up his clothes and remove any other traces!
However, as soon as he arrived at the bathroom, he saw Xia Qiuru walking out.
"Were you bullied by your female subordinates again?"
Seeing his wrinkled clothes, Xia Qiuru couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
She had long heard about how he often got into ssy situations with the won in the PR departnt.
Like Lin Ruoxue, Xia Qiuru was aware of his temperant, so she wasn't surprised.
Since Lin Ruoxue hadn't said anything, she didn't feel she had the right to comnt.
Lin Ruoxue was now turning a blind eye to these matters as well.
She knew it was impossible to expect her rascal of a husband to completely behave like a gentleman!
"Oh, I just took a nap on the sofa, so..."
"Napping made your buttons fall off?"
Xia Qiuru looked at him playfully and teased.
"Uh, really?"
Su Chen deliberately looked down and exclaid:
"Huh, when did it fall off? How co I didn't notice?"
After saying that, he rushed into the n's bathroom.
Xia Qiuru chuckled as she watched him flee in panic and then returned to her office.
When Su Chen ca out again, he had straightened his clothes and slightly concealed the missing button area.
Afterward, he went ho to cultivate, feeling an increasing urgency to enhance his strength!
This sense of urgency was far stronger than when he faced the Five Great Families before, as he was now up against a different level of opponent!
Whether facing the Judgnt Departnt, Shengyi Gate, or the impending journey to Miaojiang, without sufficient strength, everything would be in vain!
However, the first thing he did upon returning ho was to change his shirt before going into the bedroom to cultivate.
This ti, he asked his old ghost master about the ridian Expansion Realm.
The ridian Expansion Realm involves opening up the ridians; the human body has nine ridians, and every ridian opened enhances one's cultivation a step further!
For instance, opening one ridian is the ridian Expansion First Layer, opening two ridians is the Second Layer.
By extension, opening all nine ridians is the Ninth Layer.
When all nine ridians are opened and integrated, achieving a harmonious state results in the ridian Expansion Peak!
Upon entering the ridian Expansion Realm, True Yuan circulates within the ridians, greatly enhancing one's power!
Opening the ridians essentially involves using True Yuan to break through the acupuncture points on each ridian; once all the acupuncture points are cleared, the ridian is open!
This sounds simple but is extrely difficult to execute!
If it weren't for this difficulty, he wouldn't have almost never seen anyone in the ridian Expansion Realm over so many years.
Except for that unreliable old ghost, there might also be that old scamr!
Su Chen kept cultivating until Lin Ruoxue returned, by which ti it was past 8 PM.
As usual, everyone had dinner together, chatted for a while, and then each returned to their rooms when it was ti.
.....
anwhile, in a simple, old building, the room was dimly lit.
An elder and a young man knelt on the floor, fear written on their faces, sweat dripping onto the floor without them daring to wipe it off.
Not far from them was the back of a middle-aged man enveloped in shadows.
"Elder Chen, in light of your many contributions to the sect, cut off one of your arms yourself."
A sinister voice sounded.
"Thank you, Sect Leader, for sparing my life!"
The elder imdiately kowtowed, excitedly saying.
Without hesitation, he severed his own arm with a sword, as this was the best result he could imagine!
"Mo Wei, although you are my son, you must accept punishnt for your mistakes."
The sinister voice continued:
"Twenty lashes with the spiked whip, go accept your punishnt now!"
"Yes!"
The young man stood up with his injured body and retreated.
The spiked whip was different from ordinary whips, being a wooden stick covered in sharp spikes used with force!
Though not fatal, the pain it inflicted was unforgettable for a lifeti!
But faced with his father, he didn't dare to resist in any way!
"Elder Chen, you must complete the remaining task, you understand what I an!"
The man in the shadows then turned his head and said:
"The matter of the alliance with Lingyue Palace is of utmost importance, so you must kill that young man, allowing us to propose anew!"
"I hope you don't disappoint again this ti."
"Yes, Sect Leader, rest assured, I will not fail in my mission!"
The elder replied imdiately.
"Also, more important than his life and the alliance is the token he carries, it's more critical than anything else."
"Go now! Obtain the token and kill him; this is your mission!"
The man in the shadows waved his hand, and the elder quickly left.
He knew that failing this mission ant certain death!
"I can't believe that bastard has gained such strength!"
The figure in the shadows hissed:
"But this ti, you won't be as lucky!"
"You've lived almost twenty extra years, and that should be enough!"
His tone was full of anger and hatred!
.....
Su Chen, of course, knew nothing about what happened at Shengyi Gate, nor that Elder Chen was planning to make a move against him again.
At this mont, he was peacefully sleeping, holding Lin Ruoxue, with a faint mischievous smile on his face, dreaming of sothing unknown.
Early next morning, the sunlight stread into the bedroom, filling it with brilliant light.
Su Chen slowly opened his eyes and imdiately felt the warmth in his arms.
Lin Ruoxue was cuddled up in his arms like a kitten.
Su Chen smiled slightly without disturbing her, as he looked at Lin Ruoxue, he couldn't help but think of the Gu inside her!
He hadn't told Lin Ruoxue about it, knowing it would only make her worry unnecessarily.
At that mont, the sleeping Lin Ruoxue burrowed further into his arms, seemingly finding a more comfortable position.
"Husband, are you awake?"
After a while, Lin Ruoxue slowly opened her eyes.
"Yes."
Seeing Lin Ruoxue awake, Su Chen sat up against the headboard and lit a cigarette.
"You n always like smoking, what's so good about it?"
Lin Ruoxue lay on his chest.
"Why don't you give it a try?"
Su Chen smiled.
"No way."
Lin Ruoxue pouted.
After finishing his cigarette, they got out of bed.
After breakfast, Lin Ruoxue drove to the company while Su Chen, carrying Ghost Beard Grass, headed to the Pei Family.
With so free ti, he was prepared to help Pei Man heal her leg.
