"Co on, I won’t compete for business with people with disabilities." Ye Shikai joked.
"Alright, but in the future, you have to give a massage every day." Su Qingyu "ordered" smugly.
"Of course, it’s a small matter." Ye Shikai agreed readily. Originally, he wanted to teach Su Qingyu a few sets of Heart Spells for strengthening the body, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. Su Qingyu didn’t have Inner Strength, so the effect of the Heart Spells would be greatly reduced.
"Brother-in-law, how about giving a massage too?" Su Ziqing, that little girl, took the opportunity to chi in. They say the relationship between the sister-in-law and brother-in-law should remain "reserved," but she didn’t seem to care about those things. Of course, she’s only twenty and has the ntality of a sixteen-year-old girl.
"Keep dreaming, my skills are unparalleled in the world, only the madam can enjoy them." Ye Shikai reached out to hold Su Qingyu’s small hand, which made her blush with embarrassnt.
"Tch, so stingy. Sis, aren’t you going to do sothing?" Su Ziqing complained helplessly, looking hopefully at her sister, but Su Qingyu was shy, waving her hand to signal not to make a fuss.
"Humph, you two bully alone." Su Ziqing acted as if she was wronged imnsely, and after eating, she buried herself in the sofa watching TV, her lips pouty.
"Qingyu, I’m going out later, you’ll have to go to the company by yourself." Ye Shikai said to Su Qingyu.
"Is there an urgent matter at the Netherworld Palace?" Su Qingyu asked out of curiosity.
"Uh, not really, a friend has sothing they need my help with." Ye Shikai casually found an excuse. He didn’t ntion going to Chen Yuxin’s place, fearing Su Qingyu might overthink it.
"Alright, then be careful. There’s quite a lot to handle at the company, so I won’t co back for dinner tonight."
"Hmm, take care of yourself, even though I did so maintenance for you, you still need to rest." Ye Shikai reminded her before rushing out the door.
"That lousy brother-in-law, who knows where he’s going." Su Ziqing sulked, her face unmoved as her eyes scanned the doorway before settling back on the TV screen, not thinking much of it.
Ye Shikai drove all the way to the Chen family mansion, and as he was about to arrive, he suddenly felt hesitant, sowhat unwilling to go in.
"What on earth is wrong with ?" Ye Shikai knocked on his head forcefully. He was just... going to see a friend, so why was he overthinking it? Constantly reassuring himself, Ye Shikai hesitated for twenty minutes before finally driving into the Chen family mansion.
"Cough, cough, Xin, you’re here." Ye Shikai was planning to wait a bit in the living room to "brew" himself up, but unexpectedly, Chen Yuxin was already sitting on the sofa.
"Kai, you finally ca." Chen Yuxin seed a bit weary. Looking at her clothes, she wasn’t in ho attire but dressed formally, and her makeup didn’t seem freshly done. Could it be... she waited here all night? Nobody sleeps with their makeup on, so why did she do that?
The most crucial part is that she said "finally ca," which implies... she really waited for a long ti.
"Xin, did you not sleep well?" Ye Shikai stepped forward to comfort her.
"Kai, why didn’t you co last night?" Chen Yuxin looked aggrieved, her helpless eyes could make any man go through fire and water for her.
But it was such a delicate beauty that Ye Shikai refused last night.
"Xin, last night... sothing ca up. I’m really sorry to have kept you waiting so long." Ye Shikai glanced to the side, feeling guilty. The two of them were too familiar with each other, even a lie could be instantly exposed.
"It’s okay, Kai. No matter how long it takes, I’ll be waiting." Chen Yuxin’s words easily led one to "fantasize," leaving Ye Shikai at a loss. No matter how it sounded, it felt like a confession...
"Xin, let’s talk business. You were in such a hurry last night, did you encounter any difficulties? Don’t worry, I’ll help you." Ye Shikai was afraid sothing might happen, so he quickly sat down, intending to change the topic.
"Actually... it’s not a big deal, just... I have to go to Jiangnan tomorrow to visit my great-grandfather, and I hope you can co with ."
"To visit your great-grandfather." Ye Shikai was a bit shocked. That reclusive expert was not soone to ss with, after all, living over a hundred years, it’s not an exaggeration to describe him as a worldly hermit.
"Yes, I’ve recently hit a bottleneck in my cultivation, and I want to visit great-grandfather for so guidance, maybe it will help." After hearing Chen Yuxin’s explanation, Ye Shikai finally understood. This seed not to be such a pressing matter; it’s tomorrow after all, even if Ye Shikai agrees now, it’s not too late.
"So that’s the case, it sounds like a good thing." Ye Shikai nodded. Chen Yuxin’s cultivation had been progressing rapidly, with the ample cultivation resources of the Chen family and guidance from experts, coupled with Chen Ruoya as a "versatile secretary" managing the group, she could cultivate with peace of mind. Ye Shikai tried to probe with Inner Strength but surprisingly found he couldn’t "see through." Had her cultivation surpassed his own? Dugu Tianke once said Ye Shikai was in the Divine Separation stage, but at most the early phase, while he was breaking through the mid-phase barrier. Could it be that Chen Yuxin had already surpassed to the mid-phase, truly terrifying.
Everyone’s cultivation needs to be solid step-by-step, such rapid progress is indeed rare, no wonder she needed senior’s help.
"Both great-grandfather and I hope you can co too."
"What, even great-grandfather wants that? This... doesn’t seem right, it’s your Chen family’s ’restricted area.’ I’m embarrassed to go there so often." Ye Shikai tried to refuse, but Chen Yuxin’s words made it difficult for him to "refuse."
"It’s alright, Kai, why are you being so distant? When you were young, you used to co to my house to play, but now..."
"Cough, cough, the things from the past, they were innocent words of a child. Thinking about it now, I was really rude then." Ye Shikai said embarrassedly, "Since that’s the case, I agree. I’ll co tomorrow morning."
Ye Shikai slowly stood up, noticing that Chen Yuxin’s body indeed seed abnormal, her face weary. Was it due to the bottleneck in her cultivation?
"Xin, have you been cultivating continuously?" Ye Shikai asked.
"Hmm, unless it’s sothing major for the group, I usually don’t handle it personally. There’s a secret room inside where I cultivate." The two of them arrived at that secret room, which Ye Shikai had visited once. Back then, Chen Yuxin was secretly cultivating the Single Love Poisonous Insect there.
