The Beautiful CEO's Super Soldier King-Chapter 588 [The Youth and the Monk in the Deep Forest]

Everyone at the table fell silent, watching Ye Chenfeng but not daring to speak up.

"What’s wrong with little Shi Zichen?" Ye Chenfeng looked at Shi Zichen, his gaze sweeping across his face.

"Nothing!" Shi Zichen shook his head mechanically.

Ye Chenfeng sneered, "If there’s nothing, then stop putting on airs everywhere!"

Shi Zichen: "...".

His face immediately turned grim, and just as he wanted to utter harsh words, Ye Chenfeng’s gaze had already moved away from him, turning towards Bai Tian and Liu Fangfei instead.

"Long time no see, Sister Fangfei!" Ye Chenfeng greeted aloud.

Liu Fangfei smiled charmingly, "Indeed, it’s been a long time!"

"Sister Fangfei, I haven’t seen you in so long, you’ve lost a lot of weight! Tsk tsk, it really breaks my heart!" Ye Chenfeng said, clutching his chest.

Bai Tian’s eyes revealed a sharp glint next to Liu Fangfei, and he asked her, "Who is this?"

"Sister Fangfei’s drinking buddy!" Before Liu Fangfei could reply, Ye Chenfeng answered first.

"What?"

In the spirit of shocking everyone, Ye Chenfeng’s words left everyone around him astonished.

Ye Chenfeng was so unreserved in his speech; even if it were true, that’s not something you could say in public.

Hua Mantian was also stunned, thinking to himself that Ye Chenfeng really had guts, to just blurt out something like a "sex buddy", and to do it regarding a woman from the Capital City who was engaged no less.

All Hua Mantian felt was admiration!

However, Hua Mantian knew that the relationship between Ye Chenfeng and Liu Fangfei was anything but ordinary. Last time at the underground boxing ring, it seemed as if Ye Chenfeng fought fiercely for Liu Fangfei, and after an accident occurred, Liu Fangfei saved Ye Chenfeng.

So, according to that situation, it made sense for them to have that kind of relationship.

"Crack!"

Bai Tian subconsciously clenched his fist, looking at Liu Fangfei for confirmation.

"I..." Suddenly put on the spot by Ye Chenfeng, Liu Fangfei didn’t know how to explain herself right away. Trying might just make things worse, and things that weren’t true before could become established facts.

Seeing Liu Fangfei’s hesitant expression, Bai Tian subconsciously thought that there was indeed something between Ye Chenfeng and Liu Fangfei. Even if they weren’t "sex buddies", their relationship was definitely unusual, as could be seen from the way Liu Fangfei looked at Ye Chenfeng.

In an instant, Bai Tian’s cold gaze bore into Liu Fangfei.

Seeing the astonished looks from those around him, Ye Chenfeng chuckled, "Look at what you all have in your minds all day, a bunch of dirty turtles!"

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing that, everyone turned to look at Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng explained, "What I said was ’drinking buddy’, the kind from hanging out at bars. Back when Sister Fangfei worked at the Chu Family, we often used to go bar-hopping together, so it’s fair to call us drinking buddies, right?"

"Pfft!"

After Ye Chenfeng finished explaining, everyone had the urge to spit blood.

If it’s about hitting the bars, just say hitting the bars. Why did he have to say "drinking buddy"?

Hua Mantian looked disappointed and muttered to himself, "And here I thought there was some huge bombshell of a story!"

"Brother, you are so humorous!" Bai Tian laughed, though the smile was somewhat stiff.

"Humor is what attracts women, right, Sister Fangfei?" Ye Chenfeng asked Liu Fangfei with a smile on his face.

"Little Ye, you’re such a joker!"

Bai Tian, with a skeptical look in his eyes, glanced back and forth between Ye Chenfeng and Liu Fangfei before saying, "Shall we go back?"

"Sure!"

Shi Zichen glared at Ye Chenfeng and followed behind Bai Tian and Liu Fangfei.

"Hey, why are you all running? Scared of me, huh!" Ye Chenfeng shouted from behind, causing Shi Zichen in front to nearly stumble and fall.

"Yeah, why are you running? Weren’t you going to demonstrate? Come on!" Hua Mantian shouted.

This villa is said to be a property under the Jiang Family, but it is more apt to call it the stronghold of the Jintian Corporation’s little Japanese devils.

Deep within the villa, connected to a golf course, there’s a dense forest.

In it lies a Japanese Zen-style building, not very large, but exquisitely detailed, filled with a strong sense of Zen, creating a serene and meditation-filled space, clearing and purifying the mind.

Inside the little wooden hut, on top of the tatami mat, there was a wooden table with sake on it. And seated there were two individuals.

The one with his head bowed drinking was a teenager who seemed to be about seventeen or eighteen, with a frown of solemnity between his brows that didn’t match his age. His long bangs concealed his eyes, but through the gaps in the hair, one could see his narrow eyes, squinted, occasionally flashing with insight.

Opposite him was a middle-aged monk dressed in a monk’s robe, sitting upright in a dignified manner, his body straight as a rod, his hands moving Buddha Beads back and forth, his clear eyes revolving, exuding spiritual energy and wisdom.

One could tell at a glance that he was a high monk from a certain monastery.

"Heimu, tonight the elites of Jiangnan have gathered here. What are your thoughts?" Surprisingly, the middle-aged monk was speaking to the boy opposite him with utmost respect.

The expression and tone of the middle-aged monk were as if the teenager had the status of a deity.

The boy slowly lifted his head, his squinted eyes shooting sharp lights that made you feel like your innermost thoughts were being penetrated.

"Hehe!" the boy named Heimu smirked, "Before coming to Divine Land, my brother told me to seek guidance from Master Konghai!"

Master Konghai smiled, "Although we aim to control the economic lifeline of Jiangnan, our ultimate goal is still the materials in Chu Qingxue’s hands. However, Chu Qingxue is surrounded by experts. Miss Mikako suggests we first eliminate the experts around her, and the first target is Ye Chenfeng, who happens to have arrived at the villa tonight."

The youth’s expression remained calm; not a ripple stirred in his eyes as he slightly curled his mouth, "Does Master Konghai agree with Mikako’s approach?"

"Hmm! It’s worth a try!" Master Konghai nodded.

"Does Master Konghai plan to take action personally?" Heimu asked with interest, seemingly anticipating a great battle.

Master Konghai gave a slight smile, "Lately I cannot take any action!"

Heimu hummed lightly, waiting for Master Konghai to state his reason.

"Recently I need to visit Ziguang Temple in Jiangnan. I have been on a vegetarian diet and consuming only dew, all to experience the exquisiteness of Buddhist Law in Divine Land on that day! Not to mention having my hands stained with blood!" Master Konghai’s eyes were filled with yearning.

Heimu nodded in realization, "I see! I wish you success, Master Konghai!"

"Heimu, you should remain hidden in the shadows and not show yourself for the time being!" Master Konghai advised.

Heimu smiled lightly, "I have my own judgment in these matters."

But no sooner had he spoken than the atmosphere in the room shifted, with an unbreakable, oppressive air spreading, threading through and penetrating into one’s being.
