Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 1499: Likes Him Too?
After leaving the guesthouse, Su Chen and his party of four arrived at a tavern not far from the guesthouse. They ordered seven or eight dishes randomly and began eating.
During the meal, everyone casually chatted a bit. After all, Yao Zhiqing and Ji Ping were merely acquaintances, and it was the first time meeting Zhou Ying!
The only one with a slight connection was Su Chen, but that bit of connection was something Yao Zhiqing was too shy to bring up!
....
Meanwhile, in another guesthouse, Lu Kuan, the Young Sect Master of the Sunset Sect, who had been taught a lesson by Su Chen, was staying. Naturally, his room was also acquired from someone else.
A door opened with a sound, and someone walked in.
"So, did you find out who those people are?"
Lu Kuan snorted and asked.
"The man who paid has been identified. I heard he's the young master of the Ji Family from the Jade Mountain Spirit Vein."
The person who came in reported.
"As for the other two, they should be the Ji Family's servants, right?"
"Not really, that woman is definitely a Ji Family servant, but that young man doesn't look like any servant."
Lu Kuan recalled the situation and said:
"Go, continue investigating, and make sure to find out everything about that young man!"
From Lu Kuan's perspective, the other party might also be a young master or noble from some force associated with Jade Mountain Spirit Vein. It was normal for the two to come together!
At this moment, Lu Kuan was filled with hatred towards Su Chen, as he had never suffered such humiliation before!
....
Su Chen and Ji Ping had no idea that the Young Sect Master of Sunset Sect had already started investigating them. After finishing dinner, they returned to the guesthouse.
Yao Zhiqing, of course, entered the room at the far end with Zhou Ying, while Su Chen and Ji Ping also went back to their respective rooms.
After returning to his room, Su Chen found himself with nothing to do, so he continued his cultivation.
"Zhou Ying, when did you meet Su Chen?"
In Zhou Ying's room, Yao Zhiqing casually asked.
"I met him once when I was outside,"
Zhou Ying said with a smile.
"Oh, when he first arrived, he mentioned going to the Ji Family to find a friend. That was you, right?"
Yao Zhiqing suddenly realized and said.
She suddenly remembered the first time she met Su Chen, he seemed to have mentioned this name and asked if she knew the person!
No wonder the name seemed a bit familiar at first!
However, back then, she indeed hadn't met or heard of her!
"Yes, that's me."
Zhou Ying nodded with a smile.
"Miss Yao, are you really in that kind of relationship with Su Chen?"
After a while, Zhou Ying suddenly asked out of curiosity.
During the time Su Chen returned, she had heard her father mention what happened last time at the Yao family, which Zhou Shan had also heard from Ji Tianhong.
Upon hearing this, Yao Zhiqing's heart fluttered, her face blushing instantly, and she hurriedly said:
"No, no, Zhou Ying, don't overthink it. I'm just acquainted with him!"
"Miss Yao, I haven't even mentioned what kind of relationship, why are you in such a hurry to clear that up?"
Zhou Ying blinked mischievously and smiled.
"You little girl, are you teasing me on purpose?"
Upon hearing these words, Yao Zhiqing became so shy that she pretended to hit Zhou Ying!
Of course, it was just a gesture to cover up her embarrassment!
"Okay, okay, Miss Yao, it's my fault, I won't say anything more!"
Zhou Ying giggled while dodging.
Seeing this, Yao Zhiqing stopped chasing and said:
"You don't have to call me Miss Yao anymore. Just call me Zhiqing."
"Then I'll call you Sister Zhiqing."
Zhou Ying said with a smile.
After sharing a little joke, their relationship grew closer.
"Zhou Ying, do you also like that guy Su Chen?"
Sitting by the bed, Yao Zhiqing asked with a laugh.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ying became shy and didn't know how to respond.
"You're calling me Sister Zhiqing, so just say it. I'll keep it a secret!"
Yao Zhiqing said with a smile.
"I... I just feel happy when I'm around him."
Zhou Ying said shyly.
Upon hearing this, Yao Zhiqing burst into laughter, as she had long noticed this little girl's interest in Su Chen!
"Sister Zhiqing, you just said 'also like', does that mean you...?"
Zhou Ying, being clever, quickly caught the slip in Yao Zhiqing's words and pursued the question.
"Did I? No, right?"
With a panicked heart, Yao Zhiqing quickly denied it.
Though she thought to herself, did I really say 'also' just now?
After reflecting, it seemed like she did...
"Hmm, I heard it clearly."
Zhou Ying nodded earnestly.
"You must have misheard!"
Yao Zhiqing said with shifting eyes:
"Besides, I just said it casually, it doesn't mean anything, I'm just acquainted with him, how could I like him!"
"Sister Zhiqing, maybe you know in your heart!"
Zhou Ying giggled.
Zhou Ying's words once again made Yao Zhiqing's face flush red, and she couldn't help but say:
"Alright, it's getting late, I'm going to rest now!"
Initially wanting to do some cultivation before resting, Yao Zhiqing found herself too unsettled to cultivate!
"I'll rest too."
Zhou Ying responded with a chuckle, lying down beside Yao Zhiqing and pulling the quilt over her...
.....
Time quickly flew by, and it was now the third day, the day the Heaven Tower was set to open!
That morning, Su Chen, Ji Ping, Yao Zhiqing, and Zhou Ying headed to the Heaven Tower, which wasn't far away.
The towering structure stood not too far from the guesthouse!
At this moment, a large crowd was heading in that direction, with excitement and anticipation written all over their faces!
On this day, the majority of young talents from the Ruin Realm gathered here, awaiting the opening of the Heaven Tower!
To ascend the Heaven Tower, or climb the Heavenly Tower as it is also called, is undeniably the most important event for young people each year!
A good performance in the Heavenly Tower would mean receiving focused attention and development from their respective forces!
Ascending the Heavenly Tower is a way to prove oneself in Martial Arts, it's not merely talk!
The people of the Ruin Realm firmly believed in this, believing it tested not just strength, but also talent and potential!
As Su Chen arrived, he found a place resembling a square, with the Heaven Tower standing at the center!
There were already many people present, around two or three hundred!
Of course, most were young people aiming to climb the Heavenly Tower, with only a few followers among them!
These two to three hundred individuals included nearly all the most outstanding young people from the Ruin Realm!
To climb the Heavenly Tower, one needs at least to be at the Condensation Pill Realm Late Stage; otherwise, it's a joke, and could even be deadly!
