Chapter 62

The night was quiet and still.

Su Wen practiced for a while and continued to recover the Yang Essence Water.

Outside the door, Liu Changdong stood guard over Su Wen. He felt uneasy if he didn't send Su Wen away. Jia Yi, who was locked up somewhere by Liu Changdong, was originally supposed to come and apologize to Su Wen, but after thinking about Su Wen's methods, he was afraid that Su Wen might cripple Jia Yi.

Liu Changdong knew his position; neither the Shengshi Auction House nor Su Wen were people he could afford to offend.

Unbeknownst to when, the sky had brightened.

Su Wen finally finished recovering the Yang Essence Water. He stretched and said indifferently, "Director Liu, you really have patience, staying here to guard me all night. Were you worried I might commit suicide?"

Liu Changdong smiled bitterly, not believing for a moment that the young master in front of him would commit suicide.

"Never mind, I won't make it hard for you. I'm leaving."

Su Wen didn't take Liu Changdong seriously at all. If it weren't for recovering the Yang Essence Water, he would have left the small black room long ago. This place wasn't a good spot, and only a fool would want to stay here for long.

Seeing Su Wen leave, Liu Changdong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Morning.

Outside, it was already bustling. Su Wen found a bun shop and ordered two steamer baskets of buns.

As he was eating, a familiar voice sounded.

"Boss, three steamer baskets of buns, meat-filled."

Su Wen couldn't help but smile. The person who just entered was Li Huan.

"Li Huan, what are you doing here?"

Hearing someone call his name, Li Huan hurriedly looked over. When he saw it was Su Wen, he excitedly said, "Boss, you're out of prison."

The people around them couldn't help but glance over.

Su Wen was speechless. Now, the people around him would definitely think he was some kind of criminal.

Before Su Wen could answer, Li Huan had already sat down opposite him, grabbed a bun, and mumbled, "I'm working for you now, so I rented a place nearby. Every morning, I practice in the park and then come here for breakfast."

Su Wen nodded, "How's your practice going recently?"

Hearing Su Wen ask, Li Huan clenched his fist and said excitedly, "My strength has increased a lot. I tested it the day before yesterday, and it's at least increased by several dozen pounds. Boss, if I keep practicing the way you told me, can I eventually reach the point where a flower petal or a leaf can be used to injure someone?"

"Maybe," Su Wen himself was also uncertain. His physical abilities had already far exceeded those of ordinary people. Although he hadn't been professionally measured, he was sure his speed far exceeded that of world champions, and his strength wouldn't be weaker than that of world boxing champions. If this continued, when his vitality reached 10, or even 50 or 100, what would happen then? It was really hard to imagine.

...

Inside the Treasure House.

Su Wen acted as if nothing had happened, sitting at the counter, deep in thought. Now that he had offended Jia Yi, it seemed even more difficult to consign the Water Spirit Grass to the Shengshi Auction House.

The beggars had been very diligent. Now, most of Jiangning knew that Cheng Dafeng wanted to buy a treasure from the Treasure House. In the morning, Old Chu had even called to say that several people had already asked him about the treasure. Su Wen could only smile.

The day passed quickly.

Su Wen was at a loss. He couldn't bring himself to go see Jia Yi again.

No matter what, he and Jia Yi were now enemies.

...

Jiangning Airport, 8 PM.

"Feixue, let me carry your luggage for you," a man offered.

"No, I can do it myself," Yang Feixue was in a bad mood. After getting rid of Ji Ming, she now had to deal with an even more persistent person.

The man was named Sun Yue, whose status and position far exceeded Ji Ming's.

Unlike Ji Ming, Sun Yue was more patient and had a thicker skin. More importantly, the Sun family, where Sun Yue came from, had a good relationship with the Yang family, and the elders on both sides had intentions of bringing them together. This was something Ji Ming couldn't compare to.

"Feixue, why are you doing this to yourself?" Sun Yue looked unhappy.

"Sun Yue, I'm telling you again, I already have a boyfriend. Don't follow me anymore. I'm going to stay in Jiangning for a long time, and staying by my side will only be a waste of your time," Yang Feixue said, not knowing how many times she had said this.

"Feixue, as long as you're not married, I still have hope. Besides, even though you keep saying you have a boyfriend, I haven't seen him. Who knows if you're just lying to me? No matter what, I won't give up. As long as I stay by your side, I'll have a chance. Please don't take away my right to pursue you," Sun Yue looked aggrieved, his words touching.

Yang Feixue huffed, not bothering to respond.

...

Su Wen had already practiced the Body Technique to the twenty-first move.

A new day began with enjoying Yi Xue's breakfast.

No matter how he looked at it, Su Wen felt that Yi Xue was the perfect choice for his future wife. However, Yi Xue had returned to her cold and distant self, sometimes not even responding to what he said. On the other hand, Chu Fei was becoming more and more clingy, often getting up early to watch him practice in the bamboo grove.

Su Wen had a strange feeling.

His phone suddenly rang.

Su Wen frowned, "Hello, who is this?"

Liu Changdong's voice came through, "Little Brother Su Wen, Miss Yang from the Shengshi Auction House in the capital wants to see you. I think she's here to apologize. Would it be convenient for you to meet her?"

"No," Su Wen directly refused. He had no interest in the Shengshi Auction House right now.

Liu Changdong was taken aback. After a moment of thought, he said, "Little Brother Su Wen, this time the Shengshi Auction House is very sincere. Miss Yang told me that if you're willing to consign items to the Shengshi Auction House again, she can do it for free, with no commission."

Su Wen was taken aback. He hadn't expected Miss Yang to be so decisive.

Now the choice was back in Su Wen's hands. With the Shengshi Auction House offering such conditions, he couldn't refuse.

"Alright, I'll meet Miss Yang."

"That's great, Miss Yang is waiting for you at the Starlight Café."

"I'll be right there."

...

Starlight Café.

Su Wen had a familiar feeling. The last time he had coffee was in the capital.

That time, it was with Yang Feixue.

When he reached the entrance, he saw Liu Changdong.

"Little Brother Su Wen, she's over there," Liu Changdong pointed to a table in the distance.

Su Wen glanced around. The Starlight Café was quite empty, and the table Liu Changdong pointed to was in the center, where three people were already seated.

Only one of them was a woman.

The woman's back was to him, and she seemed somewhat familiar.

Su Wen thought for a moment and walked over. The woman became more and more familiar to him.

Hearing his footsteps, the woman turned around. When their eyes met, they both froze, each thinking the same thing: How could it be him (her)?

After composing himself, Su Wen sat in the remaining empty seat.

Jia Yi, seeing Su Wen, had a sinister look on his face and said, "So you're Su Wen, huh? You actually had me arrested. You've got some guts, really some guts. Do you think I can't kill you?"

Su Wen looked at Jia Yi blankly. Jia Yi was really a fool. Wasn't he afraid that Su Wen would strike first?

"You're still laughing? Don't think that just because Tang Long is backing you, you can do whatever you want. I'll tell you, one of the backers of the Shengshi Auction House is the Yang family. Tang Long is nothing in front of the Yang family, and the person sitting next to me is the Yang family's beloved daughter."

Su Wen looked at Jia Yi indifferently, still saying nothing.

His gaze never left Yang Feixue, and it seemed Yang Feixue was the same.

Jia Yi was about to say more, but Yang Feixue splashed a cup of coffee at him, "Get out, go back to the capital! I never want to see you again."

"Miss?" Jia Yi was stunned. He didn't understand what was happening. Wasn't Yang Feixue here to support him?

Sun Yue was also confused.

Su Wen couldn't help but laugh, finally speaking, "Why is it you?"

Yang Feixue huffed, "Why didn't you tell me you were leaving the capital, and why did you change your phone number?"

Su Wen frowned, "Why should I tell you everything?"

Yang Feixue stared at Su Wen, her face cold, "Have you forgotten that I'm your girlfriend?"

In an instant.

The surroundings were silent.

Sun Yue and Jia Yi's mouths were wide open, completely disbelieving. Especially Jia Yi, his eyes were almost popping out. What kind of joke was this? It felt like a cold chill was running down his spine.
