Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 1060 - 3 Spirit Stones
"Of course, Senior Brother Ouyang's character is well-known in the Ancient Martial World!"
Huang Menglei said as she followed behind Su Chen.
"From your tone, do you like this Senior Brother Ouyang? He seems like a good person."
Su Chen glanced at her and joked with a smile.
"No, I don't!"
Huang Menglei quickly replied:
"I just admire his character and righteousness, and envy him for traveling around and eliminating evildoers!"
"If not, then fine, why are you so anxious, Menglei?"
Su Chen laughed.
"I'm not anxious at all!"
Huang Menglei pouted.
"Alright, just teasing you!"
Su Chen said with a smile:
"By the way, is the Ouyang Family also an Ancient Martial Family?"
Su Chen asked because he noticed that Ouyang Jing was not even thirty and already reached the Primary Stage of the Kaiyuan Realm.
"Yes, the Ouyang Family is a top-tier force in the Ancient Martial World, their strength can't be compared to our Huang Family."
Huang Menglei replied honestly.
The two of them talked as they walked along, after more than two hours, they finally saw a spacious three-courtyard dwelling!
The building seemed to have the style of the Tang and Song dynasties, full of an antique charm!
"Finally home!"
Seeing the courtyard, Huang Menglei raised her hands and cheered.
"This is your home?"
Su Chen asked, somewhat surprised, as the house seemed inferior not to mention compared to Lingyue Palace, it was even less than the Yu Family!
He thought the Ancient Martial World would be above the Martial Arts World and the houses would be more luxurious!
"Yes!"
Huang Menglei turned to glance at Su Chen and said.
But Su Chen soon realized that although it wasn't luxurious and didn't cover a large area, it was more hidden!
When Huang Menglei appeared at the doorway, a servant in the front yard immediately threw down his broom and ran back, shouting:
"The young lady is back! The young lady is back!"
In no time, a group of people appeared with a middle-aged couple at the forefront!
"You girl, disappeared for months, aren't you trying to worry us to death!"
Upon seeing Huang Menglei, the middle-aged woman immediately started crying.
"Mother, I'm back now, aren't I?"
Huang Menglei walked over to the middle-aged woman's side, laughing and said.
Seeing the scene, Su Chen couldn't help but think of the last time he went home with Xiao Yaning, it seemed somewhat similar.
However, Xiao Yaning had returned after twenty years apart, while Huang Menglei was a success story of escaping marriage.
"And who might this be...?"
The middle-aged man asked, confused as he looked at Su Chen. He was Huang Menglei's father, Huang Zhenhua.
"Oh, Father, I almost forgot to introduce you. This is my friend, his name is Su Chen. I couldn't have managed without Brother Su and a sister's help outside."
Only then did Huang Menglei remember she hadn't introduced Su Chen, so she said.
"Brother Su Chen, my daughter has always been a mischievous character, thank you for looking after her."
Upon hearing Huang Menglei's words, Huang Zhenhua smiled and said.
"Uncle Huang, it's really nothing, I didn't help much."
Su Chen smiled and replied. He was being honest, as they hadn't spent much time together, and his greatest help was just giving him some money.
Huang Zhenhua and his wife found his polite manner endearing, and went on to briefly introduce other family members.
"Steward Xu, please arrange a guest room for this young man."
Huang Zhenhua instructed.
"Yes."
An elder agreed:
"Mr. Su, please, this way."
"Much appreciated."
Su Chen clasped his hands and walked off with the steward. Others also dispersed, as Huang Menglei had been gone a long time, naturally first following her parents.
Within a short while, Su Chen followed the steward to a room, simple, but very clean and quite spacious.
"Mr. Su, are you satisfied?"
The steward asked.
"It's great."
Su Chen nodded.
"Then Mr. Su, please rest."
The steward said a word before exiting.
After walking so long on the mountain road, Su Chen was indeed a bit weary, so he laid down on the bed.
About an hour later, suddenly there was a knock on the door, so Su Chen got up and opened it.
"Brother Su, hold out your hand."
Huang Menglei said with a soft smile.
"What for?"
Su Chen asked curiously.
"Just do it!"
Huang Menglei said coquettishly.
"Alright, alright."
Su Chen smiled upon hearing this and extended his hand.
Huang Menglei held his wrist, then placed something tightly grasped in her own hand into his.
"Spirit Stones?"
Seeing the three spirit stones in his hand, Su Chen was taken aback!
"Brother Su, my father asked me to give them to you, to thank you for looking after me in Yandu."
Huang Menglei smiled.
"No way, it's too valuable! Menglei, take them back quickly!"
Su Chen immediately said.
"Brother Su, what's this about?"
Huang Menglei hid her hands behind her back.
"These spirit stones are too valuable, Menglei you should take them back."
Su Chen repeated.
"Brother Su, you're treating me as an outsider."
Huang Menglei pouted:
"In Yandu, when you and Sister Ye gave me money, I didn't refuse!"
"That bit of money was nothing, but spirit stones are too valuable, far beyond that money."
"Brother Su, if you say that, then you're not treating me as a friend, should we still account for equivalent exchange between us?"
Huang Menglei pouted, unhappy.
Hearing this, Su Chen was a bit at a loss.
"Brother Su, if you consider me a friend, just take them."
Huang Menglei said earnestly.
Her words were so sincere that Su Chen had no choice but to accept them.
Seeing that he finally accepted, Huang Menglei smiled.
"Menglei, the gift you gave Brother Su is too valuable!"
Su Chen looked at the three spirit stones in his hand and said, these three stones seemed of higher quality than any he had received before and more abundant in Yuan Qi!
He thought to himself: The Ancient Martial Families really live up to the name, offering three spirit stones at once!
In this respect, the Martial Arts World truly couldn't compare!
Despite all that, the Huang Family's gesture of gratitude was heavy, almost overwhelming!
"We're friends, Brother Su, why be so formal!"
Huang Menglei giggled:
"Alright, Brother Su, you rest, I'll call you for dinner."
Having said that, Huang Menglei went out.
.....
Time flew by; Su Chen had been staying for two days.
Besides cultivating, he immersed himself in the atmosphere of this Ancient Martial Family.
Of course, most of the time he was accompanied by Huang Menglei, after all, Su Chen was her invited guest!
