Chapter 131 Chen Family Martial Arts Hall

Chapter 131: Chapter 131 Chen Family Martial Arts Hall"Young Master Lan, what brings you here?"

Bai Xin’er looked at the young man with a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Xiin’er, how many times have I told you? You can just call me Haoxuan. Our families have been close for generations; there’s no need for such formality."

Lan Haoxuan said to Bai Xin’er with a smile.

"Sorry, I’ve gotten used to it," Bai Xin’er said indifferently before asking, "Why have you come to Tianhai?"

"Well, I heard that you and Yanyan had come to Tianhai. I was worried about you two girls not bringing any bodyguards. There could be danger, so I mentioned it to your brother, and he sent me here to protect both of you," Lan Haoxuan explained.

"I see, then we owe you our thanks, Young Master Lan," Mei Yanyan approached with a flirtatious smile.

"No need, we’re just here to see a concert. There won’t be any danger. You should head back," Bai Xin’er said crisply.

Lan Haoxuan chuckled and replied, "That’s not necessarily true. You are the precious heiress of the Bai Family, the foremost noble family of Suhang. Who knows how many people might be coveting you in secret? Haven’t you seen the news? Rich people are getting kidnapped all the time, some even end up dead. It’s always best to be cautious and prepared."

"Yeah, Xiin’er, Young Master Lan means well after all. Don’t send him away. The two of us, being young ladies in this strange city, might run into trouble. Having Young Master Lan here would give us an extra hand," Mei Yanyan sat next to Bai Xin’er and urged.

"Alright then." Bai Xin’er thought for a moment and nodded.

A flicker of joy crossed Lan Haoxuan’s eyes, and he gave Mei Yanyan a quick, nearly imperceptible glance. In return, she threw him a coquettish look.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yifeng had returned to Ye Corporation. As soon as he entered the building, the Deputy Head of Security, He Li, approached him.

"Mr. Xiao, there is a challenge letter for you." He Li handed a paper to Xiao Yifeng.

"A challenge letter? What’s that?" Xiao Yifeng asked, puzzled, and opened the paper to see: "Huo Qishan of the Chen Family Martial Arts Hall challenges Xiao Yifeng to a duel. Location: Chen Family Martial Arts Hall, Time: Noon at twelve o’clock."

"Mr. Xiao, the Chen Family Martial Arts Hall is the largest martial arts hall in Tianhai City, with a vast influence and a history of several hundred years. There are many martial arts masters inside. If you decide to accept the challenge, you should be very careful."

He Li advised, looking at Xiao Yifeng with concern.

"Not interested."

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yifeng tossed the challenge letter into a nearby trash bin and headed for the elevator. He Li was stunned; no one in Tianhai City had ever dared to refuse a challenge from the Chen Family Martial Arts Hall, but Xiao Yifeng had just thrown the letter away, an act utterly beyond He Li’s comprehension.

In the heart of Tianhai City’s most bustling area stood a colossal building with the gilded words "Chen Family Martial Arts Hall" shining conspicuously. It was the preeminent martial arts hall of Tianhai City—the Chen Family Martial Arts Hall.

With a hundred years of establishment in Tianhai, the Chen Family Martial Arts Hall had deep roots and vast influence, forming a formidable force that most people dared not provoke.

After all, with hundreds of martial artists and numerous instructors, plus the formidable strength of the head of the hall, very few had the audacity to cross them.

At that moment, inside the hall’s training arena, Chen Xiu stood with a somber expression. Beside him was a thirty-something man in a black training uniform, robust and dark-complexioned with a steady aura—clearly a skilled martial artist.

"Junior brother, it’s almost time, but that guy still hasn’t shown up. He’s not going to stand us up, is he?" The thirty-something man glanced at the time and spoke to Chen Xiu.

Chen Xiu’s brows knitted slightly, his eyes flashed with a dark look as he said, "If he doesn’t show up, we’ll just go to his door and challenge him. I have to get this affront off my chest."

Half an hour passed, and Xiao Yifeng still hadn’t appeared. Chen Xiu’s fists clenched with a crackling sound; a cold glint flickered in his eyes.

"That bastard!" Chen Xiu cursed under his breath.

"Junior brother, this guy is so arrogant that he doesn’t even take our Chen Family Martial Arts Hall’s challenge seriously. He really is supremely conceited," the thirty-something martial artist said, his face also showing annoyance and a flash of anger in his eyes.

At Ye Corporation.

While Chen Xiu was waiting for Xiao Yifeng to show up to settle yesterday’s score, he wasn’t aware that Xiao Yifeng was comfortably chatting with the great beauty Fang Siqi at Ye Corporation, utterly unconcerned about accepting any frivolous challenge. If Chen Xiu knew, who knows if the news would enrage him enough to vomit blood.

Just as Xiao Yifeng was making Fang Siqi laugh, his phone suddenly rang. Su Yan’s eternally icy voice came through, "The president wants to see you!"

The message was sharp and to the point; she hung up immediately after, seeming even colder than Ye Yaxin.

"This girl has such character," Xiao Yifeng laughed and stood up, ready to leave the sales department. He bumped into Hong Mei coming in, her figure accentuated by a tempting bodycon dress.

After Xiao Yifeng’s cultivation, Hong Mei exuded the unique charm of a mature woman.

Xiao Yifeng leaned in close to Hong Mei’s ear, whispered a few words, and then left. A seductive smile curved on Hong Mei’s lips.

"You wanted to see me, President?"

Xiao Yifeng walked straight into Ye Yaxin’s office. She was sitting in her chair, lost in thought. Watching Xiao Yifeng come in, she placed a sealed envelope on the desk before him.

"Take this and hand it personally to the president of Tianhai University," Ye Yaxin ordered calmly.

"Are you talking about your sister Lu Xueqing?"

"It seems you already know her identity. Yes, it’s her," Ye Yaxin nodded.

"Just to deliver something... couldn’t someone else do it?" Xiao Yifeng asked, somewhat perplexed. When had he become a courier?

"This is very important, and it must not raise suspicion, so you must deliver it personally," Ye Yaxin said with a serious expression.
