The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert-Chapter 1360 - 1668: Borrowing a Life

"The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has gotten smarter this time." Tong Zhentian said, "In the past, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion kept their treasures to themselves and was unwilling to share them with others. However, after this incident, they’ve learned from our Dragon Tiger Hall and have made many martial arts secrets public. As a result, many in the martial arts community have been drawn to them. Although the reputation of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has been affected, everyone knows that their foundation is incredibly rich."

"So that’s how it is." Ling Chen smiled and said, "I didn’t expect, Su Mei has also learned to be flexible. Eh! Elder Tong, this shouldn’t affect our Dragon Tiger Hall much, right?"

"The impact is not significant for now. However, it’s clear that the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion intends to compete with our Dragon Tiger Hall by doing this. No matter what, we should be cautious, who knows if the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion will play tricks."

Ling Chen nodded and said, "Better safe than sorry. Given Su Mei’s personality, I doubt she would do anything insidious." Pausing briefly, Ling Chen shifted the topic, and asked, "By the way, it’s been so long, do you have any news about Su He?"

"Not clear. He was so severely injured; he must have gone somewhere to recuperate, he won’t appear for a while." Speaking of this, Tong Zhentian looked worried, "However, Su He is indeed a threat, no one can ignore his strength. If he truly intends to assassinate someone, we might find it hard to prevent."

"Then what should we do?"

"I don’t have a solution either unless you can find Su He and eliminate the threat forever. If not, we can only be vigilant and not give him a chance to strike."

"Alright, I’ll have someone keep an eye out to see if they can find him."

...

At this moment, in the Shi Family Mansion, Su He stood beside the courtyard, instructing a few young people on their martial arts skills. Having been at the Shi Family for some time, Su He, as an Earthly List master, was treated quite well. He enjoyed freedom each day, occasionally advising the Shi Family disciples on their skills, with no constraints on him.

A few days ago, the family head Shi Hongyu had personally met with him. Su He was not worried about being recognized, he had left the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion decades ago, if it were the older generation of the Shi Family, someone might have recognized him, but the older generation of the Shi Family was basically all gone.

"Elder Su, am I making good progress?" A young man stopped his practice and walked up to Su He, asking.

Su He nodded with a smile, "Not bad, keep working hard, and you might have a chance to become a Heavenly List master." Although he said this, Su He inwardly disdained them. The Shi Family disciples’ aptitude was too poor, even the ordinary disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion were better. If not for needing a cover, he had no interest in instructing these people.

"Elder Su."

At this moment, someone came up, "The eldest daughter invites you over."

"Alright, I’ll be right there." After speaking, Su He said to the young people, "Continue practicing, no slacking off. If I find anyone slacking, don’t blame me for being rude." After a reprimand, Su He turned and followed the person to a room.

"Ms. Shi, did you need me?" Su He asked, looking at Shi Su.

"Elder Su, I will be going on a long trip tomorrow, it will probably take one or two months, I need someone to accompany me, can you come with me?"

Su He agreed straightforwardly, "Of course, no problem."

"Thank you for your trouble then."

Leaving the room, the smile on Su He’s face turned cold instantly. Leaving with Shi Su for more than a month was too long for him, he didn’t have that much time to waste. It seemed he would need to act soon.

Night fell.

Su He tidied up his clothing and left the room on his own. Before long, he arrived at the central room of the Shi Family Mansion.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

With the sound of knocking, the door was opened, and a young man appeared in front of Su He, "Elder Su, what brings you here?"

Su He smiled and said, "I came to see the Family Head, could you please inform him for me?"

"Elder Su, it’s already so late, the Family Head is about to rest, couldn’t this wait until tomorrow?"

"This matter is extremely important, I cannot afford to delay."

Upon hearing this, the young man nodded and said, "Alright then, I’ll inform the Family Head." Before long, the young man returned to the doorway, looked at Su He waiting outside, and said, "Elder Su, you may go in, the Family Head is waiting for you inside."

"Alright, thank you."

Entering the room, Su He came to the living room to find Shi Hongyu sitting on the sofa, dressed in loose pajamas, holding a cup of hot tea. Seeing Su He, Shi Hongyu smiled and asked, "Elder Su, I heard you have something important to discuss with me?"

Su He stood properly to the side, nodding, "Yes, Family Head, this matter is of great importance, I only wish for you to know about it."

Shi Hongyu scrutinized Su He, then shifted his gaze to the young man at the door and gave a signal. The latter understood and immediately withdrew, closing the door behind him.

"Elder Su, it’s just you and me now, feel free to speak."

"Family Head, I would like to borrow something from you."

"Elder Su, you’re too polite, you’re practically one of the Shi Family now, just tell me what you need, and I’ll certainly fulfill it."

"Thank you so much, Family Head, actually... I want to borrow your life."

"My life?" Upon hearing this, Shi Hongyu’s face suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Su Sanshui, what do you mean by this?"

Su He smiled coldly, "I told you, I want your life." With those words, Su He suddenly lunged forward, instantly closing in on Shi Hongyu.

Feeling the fierce wind attacking, Shi Hongyu was startled and quickly jumped up from the sofa, angrily shouting, "Su Sanshui, it seems you’re courting death!"

"Who is courting death is not certain yet." Saying this, Su He made a quick step, and the Nine Yang Qiankun Step was instantly deployed. Seeing the flickering afterimages in front of him, a look of shock flashed in Shi Hongyu’s eyes.

"You..."

"Did you think you were the only one who’s a Heavenly List master?"

Hearing the mocking voice of Su He beside his ear, Shi Hongyu’s heart trembled violently. Before he could react, he felt a severe pain coursing through his body, as if his whole being was falling apart.

"You... you..." Shi Hongyu opened his mouth, as soon as he uttered a word, he saw the afterimage flash before him, and his entire body fell directly to the ground.

Looking at the fallen Shi Hongyu, Su He sneered disdainfully. What’s the use of being a Heavenly List master, in front of him, he was nothing more than trash. Then, Su He hoisted Shi Hongyu’s body, opened the back door of the room, and easily leaped over the wall. In the blink of an eye, his figure vanished into the deep night.

No one knew how much time passed before Shi Hongyu finally regained consciousness. Feeling the tremor of his own body, Shi Hongyu opened his eyes, looking at the surrounding environment, finding himself in a vehicle, with Su He sitting next to him.
