Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 1707: The Invitation
He Qishan couldn't help but show a hesitant look after hearing this, as if he was having difficulty speaking.
Seeing this, Su Chen became more curious and said with a smile:
"Just speak your mind!"
"It's like this, this morning, Xue Hong came by."
He Qishan looked at Su Chen and said.
"What did he come for?"
Su Chen slightly furrowed his brows.
"He came on behalf of the City Lord's Mansion to deliver invitations."
"City Lord's Mansion? Invitations?"
Su Chen was somewhat puzzled as to why He Qishan would tell him this, and his demeanor seemed rather serious.
"The City Lord's son, Han Qiming, returned recently. The City Lord's Mansion will host a banquet for him in three days, inviting almost all the influential families and forces in Guangping City!"
He Qishan continued.
Su Chen nodded slightly, waiting for He Qishan to continue.
"Xue Hong delivered two invitations, one for the He Family."
At this point, He Qishan took out an invitation from his chest and said:
"And the other one is for me to pass to you."
Su Chen took it and looked; indeed, it was addressed to him, inviting him to the banquet in three days!
Clearly, this was related to Jiang Shiqi's affair, as the Xue Family was backed by the City Lord's Mansion!
"Su Chen, are you going?"
He Qishan asked.
"Of course, I'm going!"
Su Chen said without hesitation.
He had heard on the road today that the City Lord's son had returned. He didn't pay much attention then, but unexpectedly, they contacted him so soon!
"Su Chen, I advise you not to go. It's obvious they have bad intentions!"
He Zeyuan said:
"I think the best approach is for you to lay low for a while. After a month, if you can enter one of the Four Major Academies, even if the Xue Family or the City Lord's Mansion want to harm you, they won't be able to!"
"Yes, that's the best way for now!"
He Qishan nodded in agreement.
After discussing with his father, they unanimously believed this was the wisest course of action!
"But this is an invitation from the City Lord's Mansion; wouldn't it be disrespectful not to go?"
Su Chen curved his lips into an intriguing smile.
"Brother Su, there are some circumstances you might not be aware of!"
He Qishan said urgently:
"Three years ago, Han Qiming was the most renowned among the younger generation in Guangping City, even Xue Hong was far inferior!"
"Three years ago, he joined the Iron Cloud Sect. Now that he's back, I heard he's become a direct disciple of an Elder there!"
He Qishan was worried Su Chen didn't understand the seriousness of the situation, so he continued:
"The banquet at the City Lord's Mansion serves as a welcome for Han Qiming, but more importantly, it's to flaunt and celebrate this matter, as Iron Cloud Sect is a formidable sect in the Shenfeng Dynasty!"
"How does Iron Cloud Sect compare to the Four Major Academies?"
Su Chen asked with interest.
"Although Iron Cloud Sect is very powerful, there's still quite a gap when compared to the Four Major Academies!"
He Qishan said.
After that, He Zeyuan and his father tried to persuade Su Chen a while longer, but to no avail; he kept insisting on going!
They had no way to change his mind!
...
After staying a while longer at the He Family, Su Chen left.
Naturally, he didn't take the invitation from the City Lord's Mansion seriously. If they wanted to play games, he'd play along with them!
In fact, compared to this matter, what he was more concerned about was the people at the manor, especially the women!
Although they're not troublemakers and quite smart, there's one crucial issue — the women are just too beautiful!
Even if they don't cause trouble, it doesn't mean trouble won't find them!
Their strength is certainly adequate on the Earth plane, but here in Yunxiao Continent, they're much too weak!
If they encounter trouble, it might not be easy to resolve!
There's also Ruohan and Xiao Xun, the two girls; they're just so young, how could he not worry?!
Unfortunately, besides waiting for news from the Yuntong Commerce Guild, he couldn't do anything else!
Hopefully, everyone stays safe and nothing goes wrong!
At this moment, Su Chen could only hope for that!

Upon returning to his residence, Su Chen continued his cultivation. After two or three hours, he began to comprehend two Divine Skills, focusing mainly on "Thousand Shadow Step!"
Because two or three days ago, he felt that "Thousand Shadow Step" seemed ready to break through at any moment!
However, in previous days, he spent a lot of time on spiritual power cultivation, hence the delay in breakthrough!
A day later, a ghostly figure darted through the small courtyard, like lightning, illusive, hard to capture!
An hour later, Su Chen sat on the doorstep, a satisfied smile on his face!
He had finally made progress with "Wind Shadow Step," reaching a level of 300 meters in a breath!
Though it's incomparable to his previous speed of around 1000 meters in a breath, Su Chen was already satisfied!
Mind you, this was Yunxiao Continent, where gravity is about ten times that of Earth's, equating to 3000 meters a breath on Earth!
What is there to be dissatisfied with?!
Of course, this also was a natural development, considering a long time had passed since his last breakthrough with "Wind Shadow Step!"
During this period, he spent considerable time understanding this Divine Skill!
Immediately after, he tested the "Thousand Hand Seal," moments later, the void spun with swirling palm prints!
However, "Thousand Hand Seal" didn't fully manifest, so Su Chen could only keep comprehending it!
Contemplating his gains from the "Thousand Hand Seal" experiment earlier, he went for a bath, then resumed cultivation!
...
Lately, the entire Guangping City has been a bit noisy!
Everyone was discussing a person, an event, that the City Lord's son was accepted as a direct disciple by an Elder of Iron Cloud Sect!
Iron Cloud Sect is quite famous in the Shenfeng Dynasty; its power and heritage are far beyond what the City Lord's Mansion in Guangping City can compare with!
As a result, the City Lord's Mansion's prestige in Guangping City would rise even higher!
Also, it's rumored that the City Lord's son, Han Qiming, has reached the sixth turn of the Cave Void Realm, which is terrifying!
Under this backdrop, everyone's eyes were focused on the upcoming banquet at the City Lord's Mansion!
Days ago, the City Lord's Mansion had already sent invitations to the major families as well as other background-affiliated forces!
The people of Guangping City understood that the City Lord's Mansion was hosting guests as celebration, proclamation, and also a deterrent!
...
In the blink of an eye, it's the day of the banquet at the City Lord's Mansion!
On this day, the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion was beautifully adorned and extremely lively!
Guests started to arrive continuously from around noon, reaching a peak by evening!
