Master requests your presence!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid bowed deeply as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Master has finished his seclusion?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Situ Yan’s eyes flashed with surprise, and then she headed towards the Xiao Family Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the hall of the Xiao Family, a middle-aged man sat leisurely sipping tea in a pear wood chair, dressed in a white practice outfit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a square face, thick eyebrows, and a hint of stubble, he exuded an air of authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man was none other than Xiao Ding, the Head of the Xiao Family, Situ Yan’s husband, and also Xiao Yifeng’s granduncle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Situ Yan slowly walked in, her gaze landing on Xiao Ding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How come you finished your seclusion so early?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Situ Yan seated herself in front of Xiao Ding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I had a bit of a breakthrough, so I came out early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Madam, I heard that something happened recently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That guard of yours, Leng Mian, was stripped to a human skeleton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s going on?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ding put down his teacup and looked at Situ Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re quite up-to-date!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slight smile appeared on Situ Yan’s lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What exactly did I miss during my seclusion?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ding looked at Situ Yan with a puzzled expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That kid showed up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Situ Yan’s eyes narrowed, her voice grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Which kid?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ding was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao—Yi—Feng!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Situ Yan uttered those three words, Xiao Ding’s face suddenly changed, his pupils constricted, and a look of shock flashed across his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is that possible?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After ten years, he’s reappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where is he now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ding’s expression shifted rapidly, his eyes revealing a complex mix of emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In Tianhai!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Situ Yan recounted all the events that had occurred previously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening, Xiao Ding’s eyes tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t expect that after so many years, he would reappear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he knows who killed his mother, I fear he won’t let it go so easily.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if he knows, what can he do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s not yet worthy to seek vengeance against me,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Situ Yan’s eyes flashed with disdain, “I’m more worried about what the old man will do once he finds out that this kid is still alive and has shown up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s because father was still angered in his heart that he didn’t stop you from driving the mother and son away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time went by, after their departure, he began to regret and feel guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left the Xiao Family and lived in seclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he learns about all this, he might well return to the Xiao Family,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ding spoke in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s why I absolutely cannot give him that chance; otherwise, who knows who might become the next Head of the Xiao Family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fierce look crossed Situ Yan’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you plan to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ding’s gaze fixed on Situ Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have my arrangements, but you should keep a close eye on your youngest brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s already met that kid, and even warned me not to do anything, or he won’t stand by idly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Situ Yan said coldly, snorting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ding’s eyes narrowed into slits as he stood up and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Xiao Ding had left, Situ Yan’s maid quickly walked in and bowed, “Madam, I just received a piece of news.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What news?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Tianhai Dragon Soul Branch has been attacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the Dragon Soul members were injured, and Hei Shan, the captain of the Black Dragon Squad, was also severely injured,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the woman reported.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s actually such a matter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who has the audacity to oppose the Dragon Soul?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A look of astonishment flashed across Situ Yan’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to the intelligence, the person is none other than Xiao Yifeng.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Yifeng?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, it’s him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon Soul has already been alerted, and even the master from Hei Shan, Yanluo of the Dragon Soul Purple Dragon Guard, has appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems he intends to avenge his disciple Hei Shan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Situ Yan’s maid reported each detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He really is brazen, arrogant, with no taboos!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Situ Yan snorted coldly, “The more he is like this, the sooner he will be destroyed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Contact Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanluo for me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light flickered in Situ Yan’s pupils as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Madam!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid nodded in acknowledgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the sun set in the west, and night fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The imperial capital of Yanjing, in China, was plunged into a scene of dazzling neon lights and merrymaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a private room of a restaurant in Yanjing, accessible only to the top elite, Situ Yan sat leisurely tasting a Bordeaux wine worth hundreds of thousands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment the private room door was opened, and Situ Yan’s maid led in a man with a chilling aura, none other than Yanluo, the master of Hei Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanluo!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Situ Yan looked at Yanluo and revealed a slight smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madam Xiao!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanluo looked at Situ Yan with a voice as cold as ice and an expressionless face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“May I ask why Madam Xiao has summoned me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanluo asked in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanluo, I called you here today because I want to discuss a matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Situ Yan sipped her red wine and placed it on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madam Xiao, please speak your mind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanluo’s disciple was severely injured by someone, and Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanluo is planning to seek revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope you can completely deal with the person who injured your disciple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Situ Yan’s lips parted slightly as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange light flashed in Yanluo’s eyes, and after a moment’s flicker, he looked at Situ Yan, “Is Madam Xiao using my hand to root out the problem once and for all?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanluo already knows everything,” Situ Yan said, laughing lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t expect that kid to be Xiao Chen’s son!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanluo continued, with a slight tightening in his eyes, “Back then, Xiao Chen was outstanding and exceptional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a young age, his Martial Arts Strength suppressed all the younger generation in the Chinese Martial Arts World.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And at that time, I had just stepped into the realm of Dark Energy, like an insignificant weed that nobody noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s been over twenty years, and now, I find myself bearing a vend or against his son.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanluo, that youngster dared to severely injure your disciple and even challenge the Dragon Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He deserves death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Situ Yan said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madam Xiao, as long as you can assure me that Elder Master Xiao won’t blame me for killing him afterward.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanluo looked at Situ Yan indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, that kid brazenly stormed into the Dragon Soul Branch and injured many Dragon Soul members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a provocation against the Dragon Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if you kill him, the elder master won’t say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, that kid no longer has any relation to the Xiao Family now,” Situ Yan stated calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In that case, you just wait for the news of that kid’s death,” Yanluo asserted in a chilly tone, then turned and left the private room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Situ Yan picked up her wine glass and took a delicate sip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madam, with Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanluo taking action, that youngster is as good as dead, and you can finally rid yourself of a major concern.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid looked at Situ Yan with a hint of a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>",1240,"2026-06-03T07:10:13.926Z","2026-06-03T07:10:18.225Z",1,"novelbin.me","4ef4634d9b6fad43ca2e6474511ea8a6b2e382d20c920eea09820222eee42e18","beautiful-ceo-s-top-martial-expert-chapter-400","beautiful-ceo-s-top-martial-expert-chapter-398",2367,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeautiful-ceo-s-top-martial-expert-cover.jpg"]
