A moment later, a middle-aged woman hurried over.

"Are you Mr. Su?"

The middle-aged woman approached Su Chen and asked.

Su Chen nodded, somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected the person in charge of the Yuntong Commerce Guild in the Imperial City to be a middle-aged woman!

"Mr. Su, please follow me!"

The middle-aged woman immediately led Su Chen upstairs.

The shop assistants and some customers in the store were quite stunned!

Who exactly is this young man, to have the head of the Yuntong Commerce Guild personally accompany him, even displaying a bit of respect!

...

Su Chen followed the middle-aged woman to an upstairs room, which was decorated simply yet with great style!

At this moment, a woman with a veiled face sat behind a desk; it was An Ruyan!

"Mr. Su, long time no see."

Seeing Su Chen walk in, An Ruyan stood up, her beautiful eyes filled with a smile!

She waved her hand, and the middle-aged woman retreated!

"Indeed, long time no see!"

Su Chen casually sat down and laughed:

"Didn't we say last time? Just call me Su Chen."

"Alright."

An Ruyan nodded, looking at the man she hadn't seen many times, her heart surged with emotions!

At first, she was drawn to the elixir business and reached out to him! 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

But after interacting, she found this man was full of peculiarities compared to others, whether in conduct or in conversation!

This filled her with interest in this young man, even keeping a close eye after leaving Guangping City!

The series of events that followed left her somewhat astonished!

From Guangping City, to Capital County, and then the Imperial Capital!

Every time this man would defy imagination!

Especially recently, when the incident of Liyun Sect and several royal experts besieging Zhaixing Academy gradually unfolded, she found it hard to believe!

Remember, when she first met him, he was merely at the Primary Stage of the Heavenly Level Realm!

And now, he could easily crush several experts from the Divine Sea Realm!

It's only been a few months!

Such speed is beyond belief!

In not just the Great Yan Empire, but even among the other great dynasties, she hadn't heard of such a monster!

She used to think this man held endless possibilities!

And now, those endless possibilities were unfolding bit by bit!

She wanted to see what kind of surprises this young man would bring her!

To her, Su Chen was very mysterious, yet wasn't it the same for Su Chen toward her?

From the first moment he met An Ruyan, he felt this woman's cultivation was unfathomable!

Even now, he couldn't see through her!

He sensed she completely concealed her Martial Artist aura, as for how, that remained unknown!

"Seems the harsh words I said back then were somewhat overconfident!"

Su Chen thought to himself.

Because back then, when they discussed the split, An Ruyan jokingly asked if he feared she wouldn't keep her promise?

He replied to feel free to try!

Although unable to discern her Cultivation Realm, back then he felt he had no chance against her!

Even now, he wouldn't be overly confident!

The words he spoke then weren't based on strength, but attitude!

If she really did that, regardless of her cultivation, Su Chen would make her deeply regret it!

"Don't underestimate yourself, the girl's strength is indeed impressive, but even if she wanted to deal with you back then, it wouldn't have been easy!"

At this moment, Zi Mei's voice rang out.

Su Chen chuckled at this, taking it as comfort, and Zi Mei didn't continue.

"By the way, Miss An, may I know why you invited me?"

Su Chen asked afterward.

"You just asked me to call you Su Chen, how come you're still calling me Miss An?"

An Ruyan's lips curled into a smile beneath her veil.

"Ru...yan."

Su Chen smoothly complied, actually feeling deep down somewhat unaccustomed.

"That's right, we're friends now, no need to be so formal."

An Ruyan sensed Su Chen's slight discomfort, smiling softly.

Su Chen also felt, since she was so open, there was no need for him to be so reserved!

With this in mind, a playful smile appeared on his face:

"In that case, shouldn't you let me see your true face?"

"Do you really want to see?"

An Ruyan tilted her head slightly, smiling as she asked.

"Of course."

Honestly, Su Chen was quite curious, a common trait among men, especially toward a beauty!

An Ruyan pondered for a moment, then nodded:

"Alright then."

Then she slowly removed her veil!

Actually, she felt a bit uneasy internally, as she had never removed her veil in front of strangers before!

This was the first time!

When she took off the veil, Su Chen was somewhat dazed!

He knew An Ruyan was a beauty, he believed he had that perceptiveness!

But when An Ruyan truly removed the veil, he was still a bit stunned!

Not because she wasn't beautiful, but because she was too beautiful!

Among women in the villa, she definitely reached the level of Qin Nishang and Pei Man!

Her radiant eyes, slightly upturned corners, just perfect!

A pair of delicate nose slightly raised, subtly moist red lips, seemingly radiating an indescribable allure!

This face appeared as though slightly carved by the heavens, flawless!

"Su Chen, did my appearance scare you?"

An Ruyan asked somewhat bashfully seeing Su Chen slightly dazed.

Su Chen snapped back to reality upon hearing this, and laughed:

"If that's the case, I'd rather be scared more often!"

"Pfft!"

Hearing this, An Ruyan couldn't help but laugh!

Su Chen's words made her feel quite proud inside, she was quite confident about her appearance!

Though her previous words were partially modest, they weren't entirely so!

Because she saw the photos sent by Su Chen, the women in them were all stunning, even among them, two or three she considered herself inferior to!

With this thought, she felt a bit nervous!

Logically, she and Su Chen were no more than acquaintances now, she shouldn't care about his opinion, but honestly, inside she felt quite expectant!

Even she couldn't say why!

An Ruyan's smile was truly full of charm and sensuality!

"Truly a captivating enchantress!"

Su Chen thought to himself.

He then steadied himself slightly, and asked again:

"You haven't mentioned why you wanted to see me?"
