Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 1494: So That’s How It Is

"Uncle Zhou, if there's something on your mind, just say it directly."

Su Chen noticed Zhou Shan's hesitation and put down his chopsticks as he spoke.

"It's actually nothing too serious, just that a while ago, the Liang Family and some forces allied with them seemed to be targeting our Ji Family."

Zhou Shan pondered for a moment before responding.

After all, being part of the Jade Mountain Spirit Vein, there are naturally some intersections.

Su Chen furrowed his brows slightly upon hearing this. The Liang Family is really making moves, huh!

But thinking about it a bit, it's clear that this somewhat relates to Su Chen residing with the Ji Family!

If the Liang Family is looking for an outlet for their anger, aside from Su Chen, the person involved, the only targets left are the Yao Family and the Ji Family!

The Yao Family's strength isn't much less than theirs, so the best target becomes the Ji Family.

Of course, they might have other motives too, like putting pressure on the Ji Family so they won't take in that young man in the future!

This way, it would be much easier for them to deal with that young man in the future, no matter their intentions!

"But don't worry, it's fine now. The Yao Family decisively sided with us on this matter and helped us a lot!"

Zhou Shan said, a bit puzzled:

"Logically, the Yao Family and the Liang Family had a good relationship before, even planning to marry their daughter to the Liang Family. Had it not been for your appearance, this might have already happened."

"That incident was quite a blow to the Liang Family's reputation. The Yao Family should be looking for ways to mend the relationship between the two families, so why did they help our Ji Family instead?"

Zhou Shan continued to shake his head, unable to comprehend:

"Moreover, our Ji Family and the Yao Family don't really have much of a relationship!"

In fact, not only was Zhou Shan puzzled, but even the Ji Family Head, Ji Tianhong, couldn't quite figure it out!

However, upon hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but laugh!

Repair the relationship? Dream on!

Perhaps Yao Zhiqing's father, not the Yao Family Head, is now charging into the Liang Family with a big knife!

"Alright, Su Chen, eat first, the food's getting cold!"

At this time, Jiang Ping smiled and said:

"Let's talk after eating."

"Sure, I'll eat."

Su Chen smiled in response.

It seems there's no need to worry too much about the Ji Family's affairs, which put him at ease.

After finishing dinner, he and Zhou Ying took a casual walk. Since there weren't many entertainment activities here, they returned after a short stroll.

Su Chen, feeling travel-worn, planned to take a bath first. Jiang Ping had already prepared hot water for him.

After his bath, Su Chen cultivated for several hours before resting, understandably a bit tired from the long journey...

...

The next morning, Su Chen woke up at roughly the same time as the day before and then had breakfast with the Zhou family.

After breakfast, he strolled through the Ji Family premises, but hadn't gone far when he saw Ji Tianhong walking towards him!

"Su Chen, you're here!"

Ji Tianhong greeted him with a smile from afar.

"Uncle Ji, long time no see."

When the two met, Su Chen also smiled slightly.

"I knew you arrived last night and wanted to come see you right away, but I figured you'd be tired from your journey, so I didn't disturb you."

Ji Tianhong smiled and said:

"You free now? Why not come over to my place for a bit?"

"Sure."

Su Chen casually nodded and then followed Ji Tianhong over.

Soon, they entered a side hall, and Su Chen sat opposite Ji Tianhong on a rattan chair.

A small table between them held a pot of tea and several cups, and Ji Tianhong poured a cup for both himself and Su Chen.

"Uncle Ji, sorry for causing you trouble."

Su Chen drank a cup of tea, speaking with a hint of apology.

Ji Tianhong understood what Su Chen was referring to and waved his hand dismissively:

"It's nothing, just a small matter, no need to worry."

Since Ji Tianhong decided to stake a claim on this young man, he naturally wouldn't be swayed by such minor troubles!

"But this time, the Yao Family has me quite puzzled; I'm not sure why they're helping us."

Ji Tianhong then furrowed his brow slightly.

He was grateful for the Yao Family's help but couldn't grasp the reason.

This unknown aspect naturally made him a bit uneasy, which was understandable!

"Don't worry, Uncle Ji, the Yao Family is sincerely helping you; no need to overthink it."

Su Chen said with a mysterious smile.

Upon hearing this, Ji Tianhong couldn't help but glance at Su Chen, suddenly understanding!

It seems there's a reason behind this, probably indicating a significant issue between the Liang and Yao Families!

But since Su Chen didn't explain, Ji Tianhong didn't ask further, perhaps sensing some inconvenience.

He vaguely guessed it might be related to Su Chen, Yao Zhiqing, and Liang Song, the young people involved!

"Since you say so, I feel relieved; we should really take the opportunity to properly thank the Yao Family Head someday!"

Ji Tianhong said with a hearty laugh.

For the Ji Family, if a good relationship with the Yao Family could be established through this, it would indeed be beneficial!

"Su Chen, it seems your cultivation progress has been faster since returning home compared to when you were here."

After chatting for a while, Ji Tianhong curiously remarked.

Su Chen heard this and humbly smiled:

"Actually, my home has a formation, and the concentration of Yuan Qi is a bit higher than here."

"Oh, your home has a formation?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Tianhong was stunned and then asked with surprise.

It's not unusual for people outside to know about formations, but having a concentration of Yuan Qi surpassing that of the Ji Family's is no small feat!

Like alchemy, formations are also quite profound, not something just anyone can delve into.

"Yes."

Su Chen nodded, not really hiding anything.

"I see!"

Ji Tianhong exclaimed, enlightened.

He didn't press further; this might pertain to personal matters, after all!

But he speculated that perhaps Su Chen knew a master skilled in formations who helped him set it up!

From Ji Tianhong's perspective, Su Chen was both an alchemy expert and quite notable in martial arts cultivation among peers, so excelling in formations too would make him not just a genius but a total monster!

Even in the Ruin Realm, Ji Tianhong had never encountered such a figure in all these years!

Nonetheless, even so, Ji Tianhong found this young man increasingly mysterious!

With such a formation at home, advancing to the Condensation Pill Realm Primary Stage seemed plausible!

Only if he knew that Su Chen had advanced from a shattered Dantian to his current cultivation within just over a year, his jaw would likely drop in shock, thinking he'd seen a ghost!

Despite this, Ji Tianhong dared not underestimate Su Chen's capabilities even though he was only at the Condensation Pill Realm Primary Stage, he had effortlessly defeated Liang Song, who was nearing the Earth's Ultimate Realm!
