My Sexy Female CEO

"Smack!"

"I'm a beast!"

"Smack!"

"I'm a beast!"

...

"Pfft."

The people around covered their mouths, stifling their laughter.

Qiu Yi was truly pitiful; even his own boss wouldn't protect him. This was the greatest sorrow in the world.

But he deserved it for daring to mock Senior Sister Xiaofang to her face. If it had been them, they would have been furious too.

Lin Yifan actually didn't want to let Qiu Yi off so easily, but with Bai Chu present, he couldn't pursue the matter excessively unless he could defeat Bai Chu.

Xiaofang wanted to sympathize with Qiu Yi, but she couldn't bring herself to; she could only blame his misfortune on his wicked deeds.

After ten slaps, the matter finally came to an end.

Bai Chu was too embarrassed to stay on the scene and turned to leave.

Through this incident, he realized Lin Yifan's sharp tongue and aggressive nature. This junior brother was not easy to deal with and was by no means kind-hearted.

He hoped the other was not eyeing the position of Young Valley Master; otherwise, he would not let it go easily.

Having been publicly humiliated, Qiu Yi felt terribly ashamed and sneaked away as soon as Bai Chu left.

The incident calmed down, and there wasn't much to see anymore, so the disciples who had gathered around dispersed to attend to their own tasks.

Lin Yifan also turned to leave, but was stopped by Mao Yingnan: "Junior Brother, what martial arts did you use just now? Teach your Senior Sister!"

"That's my trump card. Can't disclose it," Lin Yifan flatly refused.

"Is it a new martial art created by the Valley Master?" Mao Yingnan asked curiously, clearly not willing to let it slide.

"Yes."

Lin Yifan passed the buck to Medicine Saint, letting him handle the issue.

"I guessed it right, it really is a new martial art created by the Valley Master. But why won't he teach us? Is it because there's a difference between direct disciples and regular disciples? Sigh!"

Mao Yingnan couldn't help but sigh; if she could obtain the Valley Master's new martial art, her strength would surely rise to a new level, and even Bai Chu wouldn't be her match.

However, the question arose: since it's a new martial art created by the Valley Master, does that mean Bai Chu is already learning or has learned it?

But she had never seen Bai Chu use it, why is that? Could it be that Bai Chu disdainfully refrains from using such a powerful martial art to defeat her?

"That must be it!"

Mao Yingnan gritted her teeth in resentment, feeling that Bai Chu really looked down on her.

Then she flew off, intending to find Bai Chu to settle accounts.

After Third Senior Sister left, Fourth Senior Brother Du Yuze came forward to greet: "Boss, long time no see!"

"What boss? Who's your boss?"

Lin Yifan didn't want to acknowledge this relationship, feeling too awkward about it.

Someone with a higher seniority and stronger than himself calling him boss—did he offer himself up to make the other lower himself and act subservient? The thought gave him chills.

"It's you! Surely you haven't forgotten how you took me in as your little brother back then?" Du Yuze asked.

"Forgotten!" Lin Yifan replied bluntly, showing no mercy.

"Wow, just a few months without seeing you, and you've gotten cheeky. Looks like you need some schooling!"

Du Yuze rolled up his sleeves, looking ready to make a move.

"Look, you're not young anymore, and you're higher in rank than me, why call me boss?" Lin Yifan questioned.

In the Valley, apart from Xiaofang, only Du Yuze treated him well, so he didn't want to be too heartless and disrespectful.

"Because I have foresight."

Du Yuze smiled smugly, clearly taking pride in it.

"How do you know what might happen to me in the future? What if I get killed by some bad guy, wouldn't you lose everything?" Lin Yifan asked.

"It's a man's sixth sense. I've always been pretty accurate in judging people," Du Yuze responded, unwavering in his decision.

"Wow, pulling the sixth sense card now?"

Lin Yifan was utterly tipsy from it and didn't want to pay Du Yuze any more attention, so he turned and left.

Du Yuze pursued Lin Yifan, incessantly asking about his recent activities and whether he was on some secret mission.

Lin Yifan said nothing, repeatedly pushing Du Yuze's maternal hands away, keeping a proper distance.

Watching this scene, Xiaofang shook her head and smiled wryly; she hadn't expected Senior Brother Du to be such a clingy person, even more so than her.

However, Lin Yifan truly was powerful; after a few months, his strength was nearly comparable to Senior Brother Du, so she understood why Senior Brother Du had such thoughts.

After returning, Lin Yifan first took a good long sleep, then pondered over what to do next.

Elsewhere, with questions in mind, Medicine Saint flew alone to the great grasslands of Mengnei Province, entering the underground tunnel Lin Yifan had dug earlier, to find out what was going on.

Lin Yifan had said he encountered a difficult situation, which was why he hadn't obtained the Green Immortal Ring. He wanted to know if Lin Yifan was telling the truth.

Upon entering the tunnel, he quickly reached the end.

In an instant, he entered a vast space, about a hundred square meters.

He didn't know why Lin Yifan had dug such a big area, so he tapped his foot on the ground, discovering that the ground was full of dense formation prohibitions.

The whole hundred square meters was covered with a prohibition formation, and now he understood why Lin Yifan had dug such a large area.

Staring at the prohibition formation on the ground, he fell into deep thought, trying to find a way to break it.

Perhaps only by breaking this prohibition formation could he enter the Desert Dynasty of the Ancient Era and search for the Green Immortal Ring.

The formation was extremely ancient, and no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't recall any matching prohibition formation from his memory.

This formation was unique, and he might have to delve into it alone to break it.

So he tried to decipher it, to see how complex and advanced this prohibition formation was.

As time passed, hours later, still unable to break it, he finally understood why Lin Yifan was stumped.

Even someone as strong as him couldn't crack it, let alone Lin Yifan in the Divinity Transformation Realm.

"It seems this kid wasn't lying; this formation is indeed difficult to crack."

Stung in his pride, Medicine Saint continued to ponder deeply, seeking patterns, looking for formation eyes, to see if he could eventually crack it.

And so, a week went by.

In the underground tunnel, thinking intensely and exhausted, Medicine Saint still had no clue.

He gave up; perhaps his knowledge wasn't enough, he needed to go back and search for ancient secret manuals for reference.

After leaving the tunnel, he returned to his room, closing the door in contemplation and refusing to receive any visitors.

Seeing Medicine Saint return looking dejected, Lin Yifan knew he had been stumped by that ancient prohibition formation of the Desert Dynasty.

Even that prohibition formation was beyond his own ability to crack; Medicine Saint probably wouldn't have a solution either; after all, he, possessing an immortal's lifelong knowledge, might know more than Medicine Saint.

As long as Medicine Saint didn't suspect him, he would still be safe.
