Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 1722: Another Encounter with Jiang Shiqi!

Su Chen had been studying inscriptions for more than an hour when He Qishan returned!

As soon as he came back, he dashed into Su Chen's room, exclaiming excitedly:

"Do you know what news I've discovered?"

"You weren't cultivating at the inn, turns out you went out gathering information!"

Su Chen chuckled as he spoke.

"Naturally. We've just arrived, so it's important to know our strengths and weaknesses to be prepared!"

He Qishan said matter-of-factly.

"Oh, what news do you have? Let's hear it."

Su Chen smiled casually.

"I'm telling you, I have indeed gathered quite some information!"

He Qishan glanced at Su Chen mysteriously before continuing:

"This time, the spotlight of Changyang Prefecture's assessment is focused on one person."

"Oh, which person?"

Su Chen became a bit more interested upon hearing this.

He Qishan replied:

"It's Cheng Hai from the Cheng Family. The Cheng Family has a strong background, and the current Family Head's sister is the Fourth Prince's mother, a genuine uncle to the nation!"

"In the capital county, the Cheng Family's significance is no less than that of the Prince's Mansion, and across the Shenfeng Dynasty, it might even surpass the Prince's Mansion!"

"Isn't it said that the Four Major Academies are entities above all others?"

Su Chen commented casually:

"Surely it's not because of Cheng Hai's background that it's become like this?"

"Of course not, the main reason is that Cheng Hai himself is terrifying. Over a year ago, he had already reached Cave Void Realm Nine Turns!"

"So formidable?!"

Hearing this, Su Chen smiled slightly. It is indeed impressive for a young person to achieve Cave Void Realm Nine Turns!

He Qishan also smiled, knowing that Su Chen wasn't worried; after all, his strength was evident and could even compete with Cheng Hai!

As for who is superior, it's hard to say!

Although Su Chen defeated Han Yuanmao, a top expert of Cave Void Realm Nine Turns, he had heard that Cheng Hai also did something similar!

In He Qishan's view, Su Chen was so formidable that he wasn't part of the discussion mainly because Guangping City is too far from the capital county, making communications less efficient!

After conveying these situations to Su Chen, He Qishan also returned to continue cultivating!

He had gathered quite some news today and understood that the situation was very serious. With his Cave Void Realm First Turn cultivation, he truly lacked confidence in being selected by the Four Major Academies!

Hence, he needed to seize the less than ten days left to cultivate and improve his cultivation ability as much as possible!

Su Chen also continued researching those complex and obscure inscriptions...

...

Su Chen researched till midday the next day, feeling slightly dizzy, so he decided to go out for a walk!

Sometimes, letting your mind rest is beneficial, especially when overtaxed!

Originally, he planned to invite He Qishan to join him, but upon passing by He Qishan's room, he found him deeply engrossed in cultivation. Thinking it over, he decided not to interrupt him and went out alone!

Su Chen hadn't any specific destination in mind, just wandered leisurely on the streets of Changyang City!

"Su Chen!"

Suddenly, a pleasantly surprised voice rang out behind him!

Su Chen turned his head instinctively upon hearing the voice!

At that moment, a figure approached him, and Su Chen's face broke into a smile because the visitor was Jiang Shiqi, whom he hadn't seen for some days!

"What a coincidence!"

Jiang Shiqi said with a smile.

"That means we're destined!"

Su Chen smiled slightly as well.

Originally, Su Chen spoke casually, but upon hearing that, Jiang Shiqi's face blushed slightly!

Then, she lifted her head, her bright eyes gazing at Su Chen and asked:

"Didn't you say you'd look for me once you arrived at the capital county?"

"Actually, I just got here yesterday."

Hearing this, Su Chen gave an embarrassed smile, feeling a bit awkward!

He had indeed intended to find Jiang Shiqi given some time, but he hadn't expected to encounter her here!

"Shiqi, who is this?"

Right at that moment, a young man walked over, looking at Su Chen cautiously!

But seeing Su Chen only at Earth's Ultimate Realm Late Stage, he couldn't help displaying a tinge of disdain on his face!

Hearing this, Su Chen also checked out the other party. Seemed well-dressed, not a common folk at least, with cultivation at Cave Void Realm Second Turn, which was fairly decent!

Upon hearing him, Jiang Shiqi simply stated:

"This is my friend, Su Chen. Su Chen, this is Wu Xing, Young Master Wu."

"Shiqi, is your friend here to participate in the Four Major Academies assessment too?"

Wu Xing remarked with a mocking smile.

"Yes!"

Jiang Shiqi nodded naturally in response to his words.

Wu Xing was taken aback, initially intending to mock the other party, but didn't expect he was indeed here for the Four Major Academies enrollment!

Subsequently, he couldn't help but laugh:

"The Four Major Academies' recruitment isn't something to be embarrassed about unless you're at Cave Void Realm; he's merely Earth Level Realm—Shiqi, you must be kidding, right?"

Wu Xing's face brimmed with ridicule while saying this!

It's no wonder, Earth Level Realm Late Stage, even in Guangping City, it's considered low, not to mention in such a capital county like Changyang City!

Moreover, expecting to join Four Major Academies' assessment, isn't that a joke?

Unless all the examiners were blind would they select such a candidate!

"Actually, Su Chen is quite incredible!"

Jiang Shiqi retorted upon hearing him!

"Is that so? I'm looking forward to seeing Mr. Su's performance then!"

Wu Xing remarked with a playful expression, clearly disbelieving Jiang Shiqi's words!

Initially, Jiang Shiqi intended to say more, but upon seeing Su Chen's indifferent smile, she let it go!

"Young Master Wu, perhaps you should return first, we haven't seen each other in a while and would like to chat for a while."

A moment later, Jiang Shiqi told Wu Xing.

Given Jiang Shiqi said so, Wu Xing had no choice but to nod:

"Alright then!"

However, he glanced hostilely at Su Chen before leaving!

Su Chen merely smiled, not regarding it at all!

"Does that guy like you?"

After Wu Xing's departure, Su Chen joked with a smile.

"You're laughing, I'm almost worn out!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiqi rolled her eyes at Su Chen in mock exasperation!

Then, as they walked, they began chatting!

Su Chen learned that the Family Head of Wu Family and Jiang Zhenghua knew each other from early days, although not deeply acquainted and hadn't kept in touch over the years, there was a friendship!

Jiang Shiqi was quite distressed; she hadn't anticipated another trouble so soon after getting rid of Xue Hong!

Had she known earlier, she certainly wouldn't have agreed to stay with the Wu Family...
