Beautiful CEO’s Top Martial Expert

Chapter 863: Chapter 861: Shaking Yanjing (Update 58)

Wu Kun’s face had become extremely grave for a moment, his eyes flickering with light.

”I never expected an outcast from the Xiao Family to not only kill my grandson, but also cripple my son, and now he has caused such tremendous loss to my Wu Family, could this really be heaven’s punishment on my Wu Family?” he said with an ugly expression, letting out a deep sigh, appearing much older.

Beijing, home to a residence filled with ancient garden features and emanating a refined scholarly aura, was where the Gu Family, one of the Eight Great Families of Beijing, resided.

Originally a family steeped in literary tradition, the Gu Family rose to prominence as one of the Eight Great Families in Beijing after Old Master Gu became the minister of the Ministry of Culture of China.

And now, Gu Qingyun, the son of Old Master Gu and the Patriarch of the Gu Family, was even the Mayor of Beijing holding high authority, solidifying the Gu Family’s status as a force that others dared not provoke.

In the living room of the Gu Family, Old Master Gu, with white hair and a face full of wrinkles, sat on a sofa, beside him sat Gu Qingyun.

”Father, our Gu Family has taken a significant fall this time, suffering huge losses,” Gu Qingyun spoke gravely.

”This outcast expelled from the Xiao Clan, what has he experienced over these years to become so formidable? No wonder he dared to kill Young Master Wu, he must indeed be backed by solid power. With the Wu Family suffering such a great loss, it can be said to be bone-crushing, and moreover, a huge blow to their prestige,” Old Master Gu murmured with narrowed eyes.

”This kid must have joined some Sect in the Martial Arts World, or he wouldn’t be possessing such terrifying strength,” Gu Qingyun commented indifferently.

”Father, Grandpa, what are you two discussing?” A crisp voice rang out as a figure in white walked in, her exquisite features otherworldly, radiating an ethereal beauty—none other than the Gu Family’s Miss Gu Qingcheng.

”Qingcheng, come, we’re discussing the matter of the Wu Family and that Xiao Family outcast. Tonight, three Entrants to the Saint Realm of the Wu Family have fallen by his hand, including an Ancestor with Mid-Stage power of the Saint Realm,” Gu Qingyun informed.

”That impressive?” Gu Qingcheng’s eyes flickered with a hint of astonishment.

”Indeed, although he could do it with the help of outsiders, it nevertheless shows his might,” Gu Qingyun said earnestly.

”What’s his name, and which Sect is he from?” Gu Qingcheng asked, her eyes sparkling.

”His name is Xiao Yifeng, as for which Sect he might belong to, that’s unclear,” Gu Qingyun shook his head.

”Xiao Yifeng!” Upon hearing this name, Gu Qingcheng’s eyes narrowed, a peculiar expression flitting across them.

”What’s wrong, Qingcheng?” Old Master Gu’s gaze shifted to Gu Qingcheng.

”It’s nothing, Grandpa, you don’t need to worry about these things. Just focus on getting ready to be the birthday star,” Gu Qingcheng said with a slight smile.

”Having my beloved granddaughter’s blessing is enough. Of course, if you, Qingcheng, could bring me a grandson-in-law, that would probably be the best birthday present for me!”

Old Master Gu revealed a kind smile as he looked at Gu Qingcheng.

Gu Qingcheng’s cheeks grew slightly red as she retorted, ”Grandpa, you’re talking nonsense again.”

”I’m not talking nonsense. I’m already seventy, and who knows how much longer I can live. I don’t want to die without ever seeing my future grandson-in-law.”

”Grandpa, don’t say such things. You’re definitely going to live a long and healthy life; I’ll ask my master for some elixirs, and you’ll live well past a hundred without a problem,” Gu Qingcheng said, holding Old Master Gu’s hand.

”I don’t long for a life over a hundred. I just hope that you can settle down soon. That way I can rest easy. I know you’ve always been busy with your cultivation, but as a girl, you are destined to marry and have children. I don’t want you to end your life alone like your master,” said Old Master Gu with a serious face.

”All right, Grandpa, I understand,”

Gu Qingcheng nodded, her eyes sparkling with light.

Time flies, and a new day quickly arrives. On this day, the situation surrounding the battle at General Lake spreads despite the Wu Family’s best efforts to keep it under wraps, and soon, the whole of Yanjing is abuzz.

In the battle at General Lake, the discarded son of the Xiao Family powerfully slaughtered the experts of the Wu Family, including three members who had Entered the Saint Realm. Only the Wu Family Head survived.

This news caused an immense uproar in Yanjing; everyone was shocked beyond belief and had not anticipated this outcome.

The power of this discarded son of the Xiao Family was terrifying. He was even able to kill top-notch Strong Ones from the Saint Realm.

In the secular world, those who had Entered the Saint Realm were revered figures. Even members of the Eight Great Families would have to treat them with a great deal of respect upon meeting them.

Once a clan possessed such a Strong One, its status would instantly be on par with the likes of the Eight Great Families, for a Saint Realm Strong One was truly a formidable presence.

They were so rare that most people could go their whole lives without seeing one. Yet now, three had died at once, naturally causing a sensation. However, most refused to believe they were killed by Xiao Yifeng.

After all, a twenty-something-year-old killing three Saint Realm experts? It sounded like a fairy tale. Without witnessing it themselves, they wouldn’t believe it, assuming there must be another explanation, like another Strong One helping Xiao Yifeng or some other reason for their deaths.

Regardless, this was a severe loss for the Wu Family, a complete loss of face, and their authority was trampled on by a discarded son.

Xiao Yifeng’s reputation once again became the talk of Yanjing, with everyone showing great interest in this young man who had been cast out by the Xiao Family a decade ago and had now returned unimaginably strong.

For a brief moment, Xiao Yifeng became Yanjing’s most discussed figure.

Our protagonist, currently the talk of the town, is lying in a room at Yanjing Hospital.

At this moment, Xiao Yifeng is immersed in that world reminiscent of the Asura Purgatory he witnessed yesterday, transforming into a deadly Killer and wielding the Asura Eyes to perform killing that verged on Destruction. This practice made him even more adept at controlling the Asura Eyes.

”Kid, time to wake up!”

Long Qian’s voice suddenly rang out, pulling Xiao Yifeng from that world as his eyes gradually opened.

Xiao Yifeng saw a beautiful silhouette sitting beside him, her face lit up with excitement upon seeing him awake, almost to the point of tears. It was none other than Ye Yaxin.

”You’re awake; how do you feel? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?” Ye Yaxin asked him, her voice filled with excitement.

”Is Brother-in-law awake?”

Ye Yashi, who had been sleeping on a couch, suddenly woke up and rushed to the bedside to look at Xiao Yifeng.

Little Xue also woke up from a chair nearby and approached the bed to see Xiao Yifeng.

”Brother-in-law, you’re finally awake. I thought you’d never wake up,” said Ye Yashi, pouting her lips.
