Chapter 270 Killing Intent
The Su family in the capital.
Su Ning sat on the sofa, his legs crossed, with a debonair air.
He frowned and looked at the beautiful woman sitting opposite him, "Mom, how could Su Yunxi's live-in son-in-law have such great ability to kill an Internal Energy Grandmaster? Is there a mistake?"
This beautiful woman was graceful and noble, with outstanding temperament. Her long hair was piled high, adding a touch of aloofness.
She was well-maintained, her skin fair and tender, as if it would yield water with a gentle pinch.
Although she was in her forties, she looked like she was in her twenties or thirties.
This was Su Ning's mother, Tian Hai Dan, a strong woman of the Su family in the capital!
Tian Hai Dan's voice was clear and cold, "We'll know in a moment."
After saying that, Tian Hai Dan closed her eyes to rest.
A moment later, there was a knock on the door. Tian Hai Dan responded and slowly opened her beautiful eyes.
The door opened, and a young man in the Su family's servant attire walked in.
The young man respectfully said, "Madam, it has been investigated. According to the information found, Grandmaster Yan of the Tang family in the Central Plains was killed by Chen Xuan."
"What? When I saw him last time, he only had the strength of an Internal Energy Master!"
Su Ning jumped up from the sofa as if his tail had been stepped on.
"This child cannot be left alive any longer. If he is left alive, he will eventually become a disaster," Tian Hai Dan's beautiful eyes surged with a cold light.
A hint of venom flashed in Su Ning's eyes, but he quickly restrained his expression and snorted, "Mom, he also promised to spar with me. If we kill him in advance, it will tarnish the reputation of our Su family."
Tian Hai Dan said solemnly, "Xiao Ning, now is not the time for impulse."
Su Ning gave a disdainful smile, "Mom, have you ever seen a mere Internal Energy Grandmaster make waves in front of a Grandmaster? Even if he has half a year more, can he reach the level of an Internal Energy Great Grandmaster?"
Tian Hai Dan was about to say something when she suddenly froze, looked at Su Ning abruptly, and exclaimed, "Ning'er, you... you are about to become an Internal Energy Great Grandmaster?"
Su Ning smiled and revealed a confident expression, "In my recent seclusion, I have already touched the threshold of breakthrough. As long as I go into seclusion one more time, I guarantee I can break through."
"Good! Then let that kid live a few more days."
Tian Hai Dan was overjoyed, "This matter has already fermented to a certain extent. It's just right to use this great battle to make a name for you."
However, Tian Hai Dan did not intend to let the matter go. A cold light flashed in her eyes, and she ordered the servant, "Send an Internal Energy Great Grandmaster and two Half-step Grandmasters to Jiangzhou."
"What mission?"
The servant responded decisively.
Tian Hai Dan said coldly:
"First, snatch the ancient jade from that slut Su Yunxi's hand. If she doesn't comply, bring her back to the capital."
"Second, according to the news, that live-in son-in-law of the Su family has formed a force in Jiangzhou. Wanyang Martial Arts School is our Su family's power in the capital. Go to Jiangzhou and have him cooperate with Wanyang Martial Arts School to suppress that live-in son-in-law."
...
Jiangzhou, Qingwu Mountain, Su family villa.
Chen Xuan sat at the table, eagerly awaiting the delicious meal prepared by Su Yunxi.
In recent times, Su Yunxi had been devoted to cooking, and her culinary skills had greatly improved. She had already made several dishes that made Chen Xuan exclaim with delight.
I wonder what delicious food Su Yunxi has made today?
Sure enough, soon a large table of dishes was served, and they were all appealing in color, aroma, and taste, making Chen Xuan's appetite stir.
Su Yunxi turned her head and sat opposite Chen Xuan, smiling, "Today, Song Minting from the Song family personally called me, not only to apologize but also to send people to sign the contract without a word. Your relationship is unusual, isn't it?"
"Are you jealous?"
Chen Xuan glanced at Su Yunxi and teased her intentionally.
A hint of melancholy appeared on Su Yunxi's gentle face. She blinked her beautiful eyes, "The Song family has always been arrogant and proud. Now even the eldest daughter of the Song family has humbled herself to apologize. How can I not be jealous? However, if you have the ability to make me jealous, I will be very happy!"
Chen Xuan explained, "Actually, there was a small interlude. Song Minting and her brother went to the Tang family in the Central Plains to seek apprenticeship. I killed the Grandmaster of the Tang family in front of her."
Su Yunxi was startled and immediately understood what was going on, "No wonder Song Minting mentioned you with a hint of respect in her words. It turns out she was afraid of you."
Chen Xuan smiled.
Looking at Chen Xuan, Su Yunxi couldn't help but sigh.
Back then, Chen Xuan was just a martial artist. How long has it been since he could defeat an Internal Energy Grandmaster!
She was truly fortunate to meet such a man in her life to entrust her lifelong happiness to!
However, Su Yunxi seemed to remember something and revealed a hint of worry, "You killed the Grandmaster of the Tang family in the Central Plains. What will happen if the Su family in the capital finds out?"
"Whoever comes, I'll kill," Chen Xuan said lightly.
The next morning, Chen Xuan was practicing in the garden.
Suddenly, he turned his head and saw Mo Xiaoxue, dressed in a pink dress, practicing boxing. He frowned, "Mo Xiaoxue, this pink dress you're wearing is really not in line with your status as a Half-step Internal Energy Grandmaster. Do you want to change your clothes?"
"Why do you care? We're just cooperating," Mo Xiaoxue said coldly.
Chen Xuan was about to speak when Mo Xiaoxue retreated several steps as if startled, staring at Chen Xuan with apprehension, "If you dare to touch me, I'll go to Yunxi sister to complain!"
Chen Xuan's mouth twitched.
Su Yunxi had always wanted a sister. Mo Xiaoxue was pink and delicate, and Su Yunxi doted on her, so she took Mo Xiaoxue as her god-sister. Mo Xiaoxue thus had a great backer and became someone even Chen Xuan dared not offend.
Chen Xuan smiled, "I have a pill that can help you step into the Internal Energy Grandmaster realm. Do you want it?"
Mo Xiaoxue's eyes widened instantly, "Do you really have it?"
Seeing Mo Xiaoxue's eyes, Chen Xuan felt that Mo Xiaoxue had taken the bait, "Is there any faking it?"
"If you help me break through, I'll listen to you from now on." Mo Xiaoxue's watery eyes were full of little stars.
An Internal Energy Grandmaster was a very powerful existence, and her talent was astonishing, but she had been stuck at the threshold of an Internal Energy Grandmaster for a very, very long time.
"But you have to promise me one condition," Chen Xuan said.
"What condition?" Mo Xiaoxue showed a hint of vigilance.
"Extend the term of our contract a bit, and you must swear to protect Yunxi well, and not let anyone harm Yunxi, even if it means death," Chen Xuan said.
Mo Xiaoxue thought for a moment and nodded seriously, "But I have a condition."
"Just say it,"
"Raise my salary!"
"It's a deal!"
After that, Chen Xuan and Mo Xiaoxue reached an agreement and signed a contract. The protection period was extended from two years to five years, and Mo Xiaoxue's salary was doubled.
Then, Chen Xuan took out a round pill that exuded a burst of medicinal fragrance.
Mo Xiaoxue looked at the pill in Chen Xuan's hand, swallowed her saliva, then snatched it and rushed into the bedroom.
Last night, Chen Xuan thought it over and felt that he couldn't hide the matter of killing the Tang family in the Central Plains from the Su family in the capital.
When the Su family in the capital made a move, it would definitely be thunderous.
Therefore, Chen Xuan had poured all his efforts into refining this pill.
If a seemingly harmless Internal Energy Grandmaster like Mo Xiaoxue was placed beside Su Yunxi, even if the Su family in the capital sent people, they would be startled!
