Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 822: The Young Master of Shengyi Gate

The next morning, Meng Jiao got up to attend to Ling Yao's washing and dressing.

"By the way, after breakfast, go to the dungeon at the Medicine Pavilion and release the man you brought back yesterday,"

Ling Yao said to Meng Jiao after finishing her wash.

"Mr. Su? Why is he in the dungeon of the Medicine Pavilion?"

Meng Jiao asked in bewilderment.

"What do you think?"

Ling Yao cast her a sidelong glance.

"He came to the Medicine Pavilion to steal something?"

Suddenly realizing, Meng Jiao exclaimed,

"I was kind enough to bring him back, but he turned out to be... I'm so mad!"

"But he doesn't look like a bad person?!"

"What can you tell, you little fool?"

Ling Yao said.

"If he came to steal something, why are we letting him go?"

Curiously, Meng Jiao asked.

"Just do as I say, stop nagging!"

Ling Yao replied impatiently.

Meng Jiao noticed Ling Yao's strange expression. What was wrong with the lady today?

Just then, a servant brought their breakfast, and Ling Yao started eating with Meng Jiao.

Since Meng Jiao had grown up with Ling Yao, they shared a deep bond. Though they were master and servant, their relationship was more like that of sisters.

At that moment, another female disciple rushed in, flustered!

"Miss, the Young Master of Shengyi Gate is here!"

the female disciple reported.

"Why does this guy stick to us like glue?!"

Meng Jiao sneered as soon as she heard the news.

Ling Yao also showed signs of displeasure, but she did not express it as openly as Meng Jiao.

"Is he alone?"

Ling Yao looked up and asked.

"No, he is here with Elder Chen from Shengyi Gate."

The female disciple replied.

Ling Yao's face immediately showed a serious expression upon hearing this.

Could it be that they knew mother wasn't here, and with only Aunt Liu remaining among the three stewards, they chose this timing on purpose?

This was also the main reason why Su Chen's action last night was relatively smooth, only to be trapped by the mechanism at the end.

If everyone were present, he wouldn't have survived even with ten lives!

"Alright, I will go to the main hall,"

Ling Yao stood up immediately and said.

"Miss, I'll go with you,"

Meng Jiao also stood up.

"No need. You go to the Medicine Pavilion and release that man,"

Ling Yao turned and said to Meng Jiao,

"After you release him, have him leave immediately."

"Fine then,"

Meng Jiao could only nod in agreement...

.....

Su Chen kept searching for a way to escape, even though he knew there was little hope, he still didn't want to give up.

He had explored almost every inch of the dungeon, but to no avail.

He shouted a few times, but only endless echoes answered him, there was no way anyone outside could hear.

He was nearly in despair, not for himself, but for Du Hanbing.

He could afford to wait, but Hanbing couldn't!

He sat down heavily, lit a cigarette, and the glowing tip flared bright and dim in the darkness!

"Bang!"

At that moment, a loud noise came from above. He looked up to see the floor opening up!

Was this the moment of his release?

"Come up!"

A cold voice rang out. Looking up, he saw the delicate, adorable face of Meng Jiao peering down at him from the opening.

Su Chen's heart lifted, and with a push of his feet, he soared up.

"Thank you!"

Su Chen said earnestly after coming up.

"Don't thank me. The lady ordered your release,"

Meng Jiao said coolly.

"Her?"

Su Chen couldn't help but conjure the image of Ling Yao's cold, beautiful face in his mind. He was momentarily puzzled by her intentions!

"Hmph, I trusted you, and you turned out to be a thief!"

Meng Jiao snorted coldly,

"Yet the lady was kind enough to release you!"

"I'm sorry, I had no choice but to deceive you."

Su Chen said apologetically,

"It was all for the sake of saving my beloved."

"Saving your beloved?"

That piqued Meng Jiao's interest.

"What exactly happened?"

Meng Jiao asked hurriedly.

"She is gravely injured, her internal organs shattered. Only the Mysterious Ice Flower can save her. I heard your Lingyue Palace has one, so I sought to…"

"So you came to steal it?"

Meng Jiao interjected, but upon hearing that it was to save a beloved, her attitude softened.

"She has only a few days left to live, I am left with no other option…"

Su Chen shook his head, his face showing signs of defeat. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"You must love her very much?"

Seeing Su Chen's sorrowful look, Meng Jiao couldn't help but ask.

"Would you like to hear about it?"

Su Chen tilted his head and asked.

"Yes."

Meng Jiao nodded. A young girl dreaming of love, Meng Jiao, just sixteen or seventeen, was at the age of romantic fantasies!

"Alright, let me tell you."

Su Chen then recounted the tale of him and Du Hanbing, their battles side by side, their close moments restrained by rules, their longing after parting, the solitary figure by the cliff edge...

As Meng Jiao listened, her eyes turned red, and tears began to flow.

Su Chen's deception no longer angered her.

"Alright, I forgive you."

Wiping away her tears, Meng Jiao said,

"I'll take you out of here."

"No, I can't leave."

Su Chen shook his head.

"Why are you being ungrateful? The lady has shown great mercy by releasing you, what more do you want?"

Meng Jiao stomped her foot in frustration.

"Take me to see your lady. I must obtain the Mysterious Ice Flower, or I won't leave."

Su Chen said resolutely.

"I advise you to think of another way. It might be possible, but the Mysterious Ice Flower is one of the three Supreme Treasures of Lingyue Palace. The lady will never agree."

Meng Jiao said.

Su Chen replied to Meng Jiao,

"Just take me to see your lady. I'll handle the rest."

Su Chen thought to himself that he must persuade the other party to give up the Mysterious Ice Flower, no matter what condition they might set!

"The lady has no time to see you right now."

"Why?"

Su Chen couldn't help but ask.

"The Young Master and Elder of Shengyi Gate are here. The lady is meeting with them, she won't see you."

Meng Jiao's face showed a trace of irritation.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen's eyes flickered with a glimmer, and he immediately asked,

"Why are they here?"

"What else could they want but a marriage proposal, to marry our lady!"

Meng Jiao sneered,

"Such a pestering lot, the lady has rejected them several times, but they still come every year!"
