My gorgeous wife

Chapter 728: Chapter 700 My business, none of your concern.

Atop the high mountain, above the snow.

Perched above the snow and clouds, this peak is a pure land, a place unreachable by ordinary people.

"Is there still no news?"

"Reporting to the elder, An Ze has not sent any news for quite some time," said a thin man kneeling on one knee, speaking to an old man sitting in front of him.

"It has been a long time since any news came..." wrinkles marked the elder’s face, bearing the passage of years. Hearing the thin man’s words, he pondered for a moment.

"The time to activate the Formation is also approaching. Send two people to investigate it," he instructed.

"This... Elder, what do you mean?"

"An Ze must not be compromised!" The elder picked up his cane and tapped the ground gently, saying, "He is the true Saint Heir of our Holy Mountain, and the only one suited for the Holy Mountain’s Inheritance. Now, as the day to commence the Inheritance draws nearer, he absolutely must not encounter any mishaps!"

"Yes, Elder!"

"So, who should we send that would be suitable?" The man nodded, then promptly asked.

"I want absolute certainty! This time, send me two men who can absolutely ensure that... Let the Roger Brothers go," the elder said, slightly closing his eyes.

"The Roger Brothers?" The thin man suddenly raised his head, looking at the elder: "But they are..."

"I know." The elder tapped softly with his cane: "Go prepare. I will personally cover the expenses of activating the Formation this time."

"Yes!" Hearing the elder’s command, the thin man dared not say more. He respectfully nodded and then turned to leave the place.

"It seems this time the elder is really determined," remembering what the elder had said, the thin man slowly shook his head.

The Formation of the Holy Mountain can indeed be activated, but even sending an ordinary disciple would entail immense cost, and this time, the elder was not sending ordinary disciples.

Instead... two Profound Level experts!

"Oh well, I’m just a runner after all." He exhaled and turned to stride briskly towards another direction.

...

"What’s wrong with you?" Yao Chou looked at Jiang Bing Yu, his eyes bursting with uncontrollable rage.

Jiang Bing Yu was injured, undoubtedly. Though the injury wasn’t very severe, it was certainly not light either.

Who in this city could still have managed to injure her?

But clearly, that was not what Yao Chou was considering right now.

"Who injured you? Tell me, and I’ll take revenge for you!" Standing next to Jiang Bing Yu, Yao Chou said with a cold face.

From the time he had appeared by Jiang Bing Yu’s side, he had always been smiling amiably, displaying a nonchalant attitude, but at this moment, his facial expression turned cold for the first time.

And when his expression turned cold, the temperature around seemed to drop several degrees as well.

"Haven’t I told you before? You needn’t bother with my affairs!" Jiang Bing Yu raised her head and calmly told Yao Chou.

"True, I won’t interfere with your matters, but when you’re injured, I must intervene!" Yao Chou said coldly, "No matter who it is, if they dare hurt you, I will make them pay!"

Jiang Bing Yu, hearing this, waved her hand impatiently: "What are you meddling in? I just got a bit hurt during a martial contest; haven’t you ever been injured during a fight? Making a big fuss over nothing!"

"A man?" Yao Chou suddenly spoke.

Jiang Bing Yu was taken aback and remained silent.

Yao Chou slowly nodded his head. He liked Jiang Bingyu, that was true, and being a bit single-minded was also a fact, but that didn’t mean he was foolish.

On the contrary, he was extremely intelligent. If he weren’t, he wouldn’t have become the top master among the young generation of the Pharmacist Clan at such an age.

Although he didn’t know with whom Jiang Bingyu had been fighting, he was able to deduce and guess certain things from the injuries on Jiang Bingyu and their previous conversation.

Hearing Jiang Bingyu remaining silent, Yao Chou nodded and didn’t speak further.

He didn’t want to pressure Jiang Bingyu. Despite being a girl, she was a proud person. It wasn’t that she couldn’t lie, she simply disdained to do so.

In that respect, he was very much like her, so after deriving his first answer, Yao Chou did not continue to question her.

"You should rest well and heal," he nodded to Jiang Bingyu and then turned toward the room’s door.

"What are you going out to do?" Jiang Bingyu suddenly asked from behind him.

"Nothing much, just going for a walk," Yao Chou said.

Jiang Bingyu spoke indifferently, "Do you think I would believe that?"

Yao Chou was silent for a moment and then he spoke, "I am going to take revenge for you."

"My affairs are none of your business."

"Then, my affairs are none of your business either," Yao Chou suddenly turned his head, a mischievous sparkle in his eye as he winked at Jiang Bingyu.

While Jiang Bingyu was still stunned, Yao Chou turned and left the room.

After leaving the room, Yao Chou’s expression darkened.

"No matter who you are, if you dared to harm Bingyu, you are my enemy!" Yao Chou murmured to himself as he walked.

His affection for Jiang Bingyu was genuine; otherwise, he wouldn’t have abandoned such a good cultivation environment in his clan to follow Jiang Bingyu here and even pursue her all the way to Linchuan.

All he wanted was to protect this woman properly.

It wasn’t for any other reason; he simply loved her, and it was that simple.

Perhaps for others, finding a person in such a large city could be difficult. However, he was no ordinary person.

He was a genuine Profound Level master.

And for a Profound Level master, there are always means to find a person.

"I think, in such a city, there can’t be many who could defeat Bingyu," a faint killing intent appeared on Yao Chou’s face.

Meanwhile, Li Chen completely unaware that he had been targeted once again.

Leisurely strolling through the company, as he passed Lin Yi’s office, Li Chen was about to go in to greet Lin Yi when he suddenly saw a man leisurely walking out of Lin Yi’s office.

Glancing at the man, Li Chen pushed the door and entered.

Upon entering, he saw Lin Yi sitting in the office chair, his brow furrowed and his face contemplative, seemingly pondering something.

"Beautiful wife, facing some trouble? Tell me about it?" Li Chen walked into the office with a smile and greeted Lin Yi.

Seeing Li Chen suddenly appearing in the office, Lin Yi’s face also involuntarily showed a surprise.

But soon, as if thinking of something, Lin Yi’s expression changed again, and he coldly glanced at Li Chen, "What’s the matter, didn’t have fun playing with Qianqian and the others? Why come back so early?"
