"Uncle Zhang, I'll take them inside first."

Lan Xinyi said.

"Alright, Xinyi, you go ahead and take the guests inside."

The middle-aged man nodded and said.

At this moment, he naturally understood that Lan Xinyi was here to wait for them, or more precisely, to wait for that unfamiliar young man!

The Yunhai Hall's estate was large, definitely bigger than Su Chen's Yuquan Mountain Villa and the one by Laixing Lake!

Of course, the estate had many houses, enough to accommodate hundreds or even thousands of people.

The main purpose of this estate was to serve as a venue for Yunhai Hall's banquets and the like, so while it wasn't overly luxurious, it was certainly magnificent!

As Su Chen followed Lan Xinyi inside, many people were already there, most of them chatting casually in the courtyard.

Some people noticed the eldest daughter of Yunhai Hall bringing in two young men and immediately looked over.

Soon, they recognized one as the eldest young master of the Ouyang Family, but the other they didn't recognize.

They couldn't help but be curious—who was this young man who could accompany both the eldest daughter of Yunhai Hall and the eldest young master Ouyang Jing?

Su Chen also glanced around casually, and at first glance, he was genuinely a bit shocked!

There were just too many Kaiyuan Realm experts present, with quite a few even at the Kaiyuan Late Stage, and he even saw several top-tier experts at Kaiyuan Minor Perfection!

In fact, today wasn't the main day; it was tomorrow. However, most people came today anyway!

The most important reason for this was, of course, the status of Yunhai Hall!

Among the top-tier powers in the Ancient Martial World, Yunhai Hall was one of the very top entities!

Other forces naturally had to demonstrate their utmost respect, and apart from sending valuable gifts, arriving early was a way to show it!

"Su Chen, my father is over there. Let me introduce you."

At this moment, Ouyang Jing saw his family members and said.

Su Chen had no objections, so Ouyang Jing led Su Chen over.

"Father!"

Ouyang Jing approached a middle-aged man and called out.

The middle-aged man, whose appearance bore some resemblance to Ouyang Jing, was none other than Ouyang Jing's father, Ouyang Pei.

Ouyang Pei nodded. He had already noticed Ouyang Jing earlier but hadn't gone over to meet him!

In Ouyang Pei's view, what reason would a father have to go greet his son?!

"You've indeed reached the Kaiyuan Middle Stage, not bad, keep working hard!"

Ouyang Pei looked at Ouyang Jing and said calmly.

Although his tone wasn't excited, there was still a hint of satisfaction and approval in his eyes!

Because now, Ouyang Jing was strong enough to be one of the top ten prodigies!

This was undoubtedly a major event concerning the rise and fall of the Ouyang Family!

How could he truly remain indifferent?!

Immediately, Ouyang Pei's gaze fell on Su Chen, and he revealed a slight smile.

"This must be Mr. Su, yes? Jing'er has spoken of you before..."

Ouyang Pei then said:

"Mr. Su, thank you for looking after Jing'er in Yandu!"

"Uncle Ouyang, you're too kind."

Su Chen replied with a nonchalant smile.

"I didn't expect you and Xinyi to know each other!"

Ouyang Pei said with some surprise, as he had just seen Su Chen walking with Lan Xinyi, chatting and laughing along the way.

"Yes, we met by chance."

Su Chen chuckled.

"Uncle Ouyang."

Lan Xinyi also called out with a smile.

"It's been a few years, and Xinyi, you've become even more beautiful. I wonder which lucky boy will benefit from that!"

Ouyang Pei joked.

"Uncle Ouyang, you're teasing me again."

Hearing this, Lan Xinyi immediately replied shyly, casting a glance at Su Chen unintentionally.

Meanwhile, Ouyang Jing thought to himself that the lucky boy would probably be the guy right next to him!

"Brother Zhu, do you know that guy?"

Not far from Su Chen and the others, a young man was staring at him intently, as if he wanted to devour Su Chen!

Another young man standing next to him, seeing his intense demeanor, leaned closer and asked.

"Know him? Of course, I know him well!"

Zhu Jun responded, his eyes blazing with flames!

Ever since returning from the ruins, Zhu Jun hadn't been able to forget Su Chen; he considered that event the greatest humiliation of his life!

As Su Chen had suspected, the reason Zhu Jun hadn't revealed that Su Chen killed Zhou Hao and Lan Haifeng, not even telling the Zhu Family, was that he wanted to personally kill Su Chen to cleanse his humiliation!

Being one of the top ten prodigies, he was disgraced by that obscure kid to such an extent, eventually having to flee to save his own life. This was something he couldn't swallow!

After chatting a bit with Ouyang Jing's father, Ouyang Pei, Su Chen left with Lan Xinyi, as she wanted to introduce Su Chen to her father.

Ouyang Jing stayed behind to chat with his father, as it had been a long time since he'd been home.

After only a few steps, Su Chen sensed a gaze fixed on him!

So he turned his head to look, and when he saw Zhu Jun, a cold smile appeared on his face!

So it's this guy!

Lan Xinyi saw Su Chen suddenly stop and look in a certain direction, so she followed his gaze!

When she saw Zhu Jun, her heart gave a violent shudder, and her face slightly changed!

Because, apart from Su Chen, the only people who knew what happened at the ruins were herself and Zhu Ming, with Zhu Jun being the only other informed individual!

And among these people, the only one who might reveal these events was Zhu Jun!

To be honest, after returning from the ruins, she was genuinely worried that Zhu Jun would expose what had happened.

If that happened, the elders, including those from the Liewu Sect, would definitely seek vengeance against Su Chen!

But for some reason, Zhu Jun hadn't said anything.

As time went by, Lan Xinyi gradually let go of the matter, and even when she invited Su Chen, she hadn't anticipated they'd encounter this situation here!

Su Chen, although very skilled and having defeated Zhu Jun before, couldn't possibly be a match for the elders or the Liewu Sect's Sect Master!

At this moment, Lan Xinyi couldn't help but clasp Su Chen's large hand, making Su Chen turn to look at her, noticing her pale face!

Her hand clasping his was also icy cold!

"Don't worry, there's no need to be afraid!"

Su Chen gently squeezed Lan Xinyi's soft and delicate hand.

He was well aware of why Lan Xinyi reacted this way; she was worried that Zhu Jun would reveal the matter of him killing Zhou Hao and Lan Haifeng, putting him in danger!

Although Su Chen's words offered some comfort to Lan Xinyi, she still couldn't help but feel tense!
