Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 1766: Hunting Grounds

Two days later in the morning, Su Chen appeared outside the Third Prince’s mansion.

Moments later, several figures walked out from the mansion. Seeing Su Chen, the Third Prince Ning Rui immediately said:

"Why didn’t you come inside, Mr. Su? We’ve been negligent!"

"It’s nothing, I just arrived."

Su Chen smiled slightly and said:

"Can we set out now?"

"Of course, but today I’ll have to trouble Mr. Su to pretend to be one of my bodyguard escorts."

The Third Prince Ning Rui said with a hint of apology.

"It’s nothing."

Su Chen was quite indifferent to this and had no objection.

However, the three or four young men accompanying the Third Prince Ning Rui seemed to look down upon him with disdain!

They didn’t understand why the Third Prince held such respect for a young man only at the Heaven’s Ultimate Realm Early Stage!

If the Third Prince weren’t usually very strict, they might dare to act presumptuously and test the man’s weight right on the spot!

Su Chen naturally noticed the expressions of these people, but he certainly wouldn’t take these young men seriously, nor would he be bothered by them.

Then, the group mounted several fine horses and galloped toward the western part of the city!

After traveling for over two hours, they finally reached the westernmost edge of the Imperial Capital, where it adjoined a forest!

"Is the hunting event held here?"

Su Chen asked somewhat curiously.

In fact, on the day he had just arrived in the Imperial Capital, he had also noticed from the sky this vast forest!

"Yes, this forest is the Hunting Grounds. Although most of it is inhabited by Demon Beasts at the Cave Void Realm level, there are also a few at the Tongxuan Realm level!"

Ning Rui pointed to the forest not far ahead and said.

"Isn’t it dangerous?"

Su Chen casually asked:

"Last time, Your Highness mentioned that both princes and some noble descendants from the Imperial Capital participate!"

"Of course, there is some danger. For instance, three years ago, the young son of a marquis lost his life here! However, as a Martial Artist, danger is something that naturally accompanies us."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen nodded in agreement. Indeed, Martial Artists constantly strive to ascend, and seeking complete safety is impossible!

Even during regular cultivation, unexpected situations can occasionally occur!

"Let’s go!"

The Third Prince Ning Rui said, then urged his horse into a gallop towards the forest, with the others naturally following closely behind.

Soon, the group reached a clearing in the forest, which was already bustling with many people!

Not far away, a luxurious canopy was set up, underneath which sat a middle-aged man, looking regal and dignified!

Beside him were several middle-aged men and elders, exuding an aura of authority!

Ning Rui and Su Chen dismounted, jogging a few steps toward the canopy. Just as Ning Rui prepared to kneel and salute, a voice rang out.

"My son has arrived; today is hunting day, so there’s no need for formalities."

The middle-aged man under the canopy smiled; naturally, he was the Monarch of the Shenfeng Dynasty.

Upon hearing this, Ning Rui straightened up midway through his bowing, which saved Su Chen some trouble, as he naturally didn’t want to kneel before this newly met man, monarch or not!

Afterward, others also came to greet Ning Rui, as he was, after all, His Highness the Third Prince!

As for Su Chen, he was automatically ignored, though some were curious why His Highness the Third Prince brought someone at the Heaven’s Ultimate Realm here!

After all, such hunting events were generally not attended by anyone below the Sixth Turn of the Cave Void Realm!

However, not everyone overlooked Su Chen!

For instance, Cheng Hai!

At that moment, his gaze toward Su Chen emitted a sharp glint as if longing to devour!

He hadn’t expected to encounter here the person who had caused him such disgrace!

After noticing Cheng Hai’s unusual gaze, another looked over, and upon seeing Su Chen, his eyes slightly narrowed!

He was unexpectedly here, and alongside the Third Prince at that?!

Su Chen also acutely sensed the two people’s attention and looked up!

He naturally recognized Cheng Hai, but the person beside him was unfamiliar to him.

Yet, given the other’s standing position with Cheng Hai and attire, it wasn’t difficult to deduce that he was likely the Fourth Prince, Ning Xuan!

At this moment, he strolled over, with Cheng Hai following at his side.

"Third Royal Brother, it’s been some time since we last met!"

As he approached Ning Rui, he smiled lightly.

Upon hearing this, Ning Rui also smiled and said:

"Indeed, it must have been about half a year now!"

Watching the two exchange pleasantries, Su Chen could sense that their relationship was not amicable.

"Third Royal Brother, today is a hunting day, isn’t there even a decent young man left at your mansion, bringing someone at the Heaven’s Ultimate Realm here?"

Ning Xuan curled a smile at his lips and said:

"If Third Royal Brother truly has no one to use, I can lend you some."

Ning Xuan of course knew of Su Chen’s capabilities, and intentionally directed the conversation towards Su Chen at this moment!

He wanted to see if Ning Rui knew about the grievance between him and this young man!

If he knew, then was his action deliberate, planning to use this young man to make some statement?

In fact, he was overthinking; Ning Rui was indeed aware of their grievance, but bringing Su Chen here today had nothing to do with it, he was merely more intrigued by Su Chen himself!

Furthermore, the princes were not on friendly terms with each other, so he wasn’t too concerned about offending Ning Xuan!

"Thank you for your concern, Royal Brother, but there is no need."

Ning Rui lightly smiled, then glanced at someone behind Ning Xuan and said:

"I didn’t expect Royal Brother to invite the prodigy of the Wind and Cloud Academy, Zhang Yue; quite the honor!"

"He has a good relationship with my cousin Cheng Hai, so he came along."

Ning Xuan smiled slightly.

"Greetings, Third Prince."

At this time, a person behind Ning Xuan stepped forward and bowed slightly.

Though he did so, there wasn’t much respect on his face, bearing an innate arrogance!

Being the prodigy of the Wind and Cloud Academy, he naturally didn’t need to be overly subservient to a prince!

Just like the deans of the Four Major Academies, when facing the Monarch, they too were exempt from saluting, and the Monarch even had to treat them with important courtesy!

"The First Prince arrives!"

At this moment, a voice rang out.

"The Second Prince arrives!"

The voice hadn’t even finished when another voice sounded.

Afterward, two groups of people rode in on horses, dismounting upon arrival and preparing to salute, but were also stopped by the Monarch.

Moments later, the Third Prince Ning Rui and the Fourth Prince Ning Xuan also went over to greet them.

Although everyone was outwardly cordial but inwardly unfriendly, in such settings, etiquette still had to be observed!

The several people wore radiant smiles, displaying a seemingly harmonious and fraternal scene...
