NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1223: Schemes
"You're back, are you alright?"
When Su Chen arrived at the hotel, Luo Xiwen and Jiang Ying immediately approached!
"What do you think?"
Su Chen smiled, then turned around to let them see clearly!
"As long as you're fine!"
Seeing Su Chen was okay, the two women finally relaxed!
"Alright, I'll go check in first."
Jiang Ying said, she hadn't checked in since Su Chen hadn't returned.
After saying that, she went to complete the check-in formalities.
After finishing the check-in, they took the elevator up. Jiang Ying had chosen a room on the same floor as Su Chen, although not directly adjacent, it was not too far away!
After they wished each other a good night, they went back to their rooms to rest...
.....
At this moment, it's still daytime in Huaxia. In a room of the Ximen Clan, a few people stood there, looking somewhat serious, and the atmosphere in the air seemed a bit different.
"Ziming, where exactly did your brother go?"
The old master of the Ximen Clan sternly asked.
"I don't know."
Ximen Ziming, hearing his grandfather's question, replied tremblingly, seeming a bit scared.
"How can you not know?"
Next to him, Ximen Bohai also asked with a serious face:
"A few days ago, you said he went out for something."
"Ziming, if you know, then quickly tell your grandfather and uncle!"
Ximen Boyuan also said likewise.
In the Ximen Clan, the importance attached to this eldest young master is similar to the importance Zhu Family has for Zhu Jun. After all, in top forces, only two or three people can be considered top talents!
Hearing his father say this, Ximen Ziming hesitated with his words, seeming a bit indecisive!
"Speak!"
The old master of Ximen shouted sternly once again!
Hearing this roar from his grandfather, Ximen Ziming seemed to tremble, whether from fear or pretend.
"Brother seems to... seems to have gone to find that Su guy."
Ximen Ziming said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, the old master of Ximen and Ximen Bohai's hearts jolted!
"Why did he suddenly go looking for that Su guy?"
Ximen Bohai quickly asked.
"After brother returned, he asked if there had been any happenings in the family. I told him about that Su kid and the token."
Ximen Ziming said:
"I thought that since you were going to tell brother about it anyway, and as soon as he heard the token was important, he decided to find that kid."
The old master and the two Ximen brothers nodded, understanding that Ximen Zirui, as the eldest young master, was bound to know. He had just returned and they didn't have time to fully discuss it with him.
"Why didn't you stop him? Didn't you tell him that kid defeated Zhu Jun in one move, and that grandfather had ordered that without his command, no one should act rashly!"
"I tried to stop him, said all that needed to be said."
Ximen Ziming seemed very aggrieved as he said:
"But brother wouldn't listen, seems he had some kind of reliance!"
Upon hearing this, Ximen Bohai paused, could his son have had some rare encounter during his travels?
But if that was the case, why hasn't he returned?
However, upon learning Ximen Zirui went to find Su Chen, the old master's heart sank completely!
He knew that kid wasn't just as simple as defeating Zhu Jun, even the Kaiyuan Minor Perfection he sent to test him out concluded that that kid at least was also Kaiyuan Minor Perfection!
With that, it's likely his grandson can't come back!
He regretted not telling this to the family.
It's not really his fault, as he'd already given strict orders forbidding anyone from moving rashly without his command!
He didn't expect his eldest grandson would go find that kid as soon as he returned!
He understood Ximen Zirui's actions, as one of the top talents, he certainly looked down on a kid from the Secular World!
Being the hope of the Ximen family, he was usually given more leeway, which resulted in this grandson not fearing him as much as others!
The old master then explained the situation with a defeated look!
Ximen Bohai, hearing this, seemed like he was struck by lightning, standing petrified!
Besides being shocked by the strength of that kid, Ximen Ziming was secretly overjoyed!
What no one knew was when Ximen Ziming spoke to Ximen Zirui about this, he hoped Ximen Zirui would go find that kid!
Because no matter the outcome, it would be beneficial to him!
If Ximen Zirui solved the matter and retrieved the token, according to grandfather, the token had great benefits, and as the second young master of the Ximen Clan, he would naturally benefit as well!
Also, that kid called him a dog last time, which infuriated him greatly. Dealing with him would also be a personal vindication!
If that kid dealt with Ximen Zirui, the benefits would be even more apparent!
It would mean he could potentially become the family's future heir!
With Ximen Zirui around, he stood almost no chance!
To Ximen Ziming, he naturally hoped for the second scenario, where that kid dealt with Ximen Zirui!
It now seemed that his dream might have come true!
As for the token itself, he believed, given their Ximen Clan's immense power, it would ultimately belong to them!
"Father, I'll go kill that kid!"
Ximen Bohai spat through gritted teeth, with his precious son possibly murdered, he felt as if a fire of anger burned within him!
"No way!"
The old master of Ximen immediately shouted!
"Father!!!"
"Bohai, the matter of the token outweighs everything, don't act rashly!"
The old master of Ximen said in an unarguable, stern voice:
"Anyone who acts rashly will be immediately expelled from the Ximen Clan!"
Hearing this, Ximen Bohai dared not oppose but the anger on his face was evident!
"Bohai, I promise, if it truly was that kid who killed Zirui, I swear he won't die well!"
The old master of Ximen said, patting Ximen Bohai's shoulder to console him.
Hearing this, Ximen Bohai's expression slightly softened, as he nodded.
......
In Europe, Su Chen naturally did not know what had happened in the Ximen Clan, though he could probably guess that due to the existence of the token, they wouldn't act hastily!
After waking up in the morning and having breakfast with the two women in the hotel's restaurant, the three headed to another major city in France for the European premiere of the film Jiang Ying had shot...
