Chapter 412: Settling a Private Grudge

"Su Yan?" Chen Yu recognized her instantly.

The Sixth Division under Dragon Breath, a member of Tianyuan Pavilion.

Last time, she had been lurking under He Wei's name for the purpose of capturing He Wei, but at the final moment, Chen Yu had killed He Wei.

Once He Wei was dead, her operation was effectively a failure, which was something not allowed for a member of Tianyuan Pavilion.

Moreover, when Chen Yu left, he had nearly shredded her clothes with a sword, which was an even greater humiliation to her, so she had no pleasant expression at all when she saw Chen Yu.

"That's right, you still remember me?" Su Yan looked at Chen Yu, gritting her teeth.

"Of course I remember, what do you want?" Chen Yu frowned; why would Tianyuan Pavilion come looking for him?

"Heh, what do you think I want? Do you feel your limbs going numb and your whole body weak right now? And is your body stiff and your blood flow sluggish?" Su Yan giggled.

"What did you do to me?" Chen Yu asked.

"A type of anesthetic that can make the body numb and stiff in a short time, leaving you at my mercy."

Su Yan gave a playful laugh: "Chen Yu, stop struggling."

"Speak, what exactly do you want from me by finding me, Tianyuan Pavilion?" Chen Yu stared straight ahead: "I don't seem to have provoked you, are you settling a private grudge because of what happened last time?"

"You have to come with me." Su Yan glanced at Chen Yu.

"I'm afraid that won't do; I promised my friend I would accompany her for her birthday in a moment," Chen Yu laughed: "She said she wanted to see me the very first moment her birthday arrived."

"Are you showing off your affection to me, Chen Yu?" A cold look stained Su Yan's face: "Tianyuan Pavilion wants to see you; you cannot refuse."

As Su Yan spoke, she reached out a hand, intending to take Chen Yu away, but Chen Yu backhanded and gripped her hand.

"You..." Su Yan was startled; with her right hand, she performed a counter-maneuver, intending to subdue Chen Yu.

Su Yan was a top-tier agent; although she was not a Martial Artist, ordinary experts at the Martial Master Realm could definitely not take advantage of her.

This counter-maneuver of hers was also a kill-technique, sufficient to snap a normal person's hand, but against Chen Yu, these methods of hers were not quite enough.

She gave a violent jerk, but failed to shake off Chen Yu's hand; instead, Chen Yu tightly restrained her hand, leaving her unable to move.

Su Yan was furious; she had never failed a mission since she started, yet she had suffered losses one after another with Chen Yu. She probed her waist with her other hand, and a tiny handgun appeared in her palm.

She lifted her right foot backward, rubbed the safety of the gun in her hand against her calf to disengage it, and then pointed the handgun at Chen Yu's head.

Chen Yu's other hand struck out rapidly, grabbing the gun in her hand, and then with a slight movement, *Crack! *, the bullets in the magazine fell to the ground, and at the same time, the magazine appeared in Chen Yu's hand.

Su Yan naturally refused to admit defeat; she parted her crimson lips, and an extremely sharp blade appeared under her tongue. With a puff of breath, the blade flew toward Chen Yu's neck.

The two were extremely close, and the blade was custom-made and moved extremely fast. Chen Yu tilted his head, and the blade flew past, grazing his face.

Chen Yu was somewhat angry; he flashed his figure and moved to Su Yan's back.

Then, he twisted his hands, pinning her arms behind her back. Their bodies were pressed tightly together. Su Yan struggled desperately, but no matter how she struggled, she could not break free.

"Chen Yu, let me go." Su Yan was angry. Chen Yu was pressed tightly against her back, and the unique scent of a man made her body feel somewhat weak.

Having never been this close to a man before, her delicate body felt somewhat feverish. She trembled slightly, wanting to break free but unable to do so.

Chen Yu was somewhat stunned; he had not expected Su Yan to be so sensitive. He clearly felt her body seemingly melting bit by bit, which instantly gave Chen Yu, who had not been near women for many days, an impulse.

Feeling the change in Chen Yu's body behind her, Su Yan was even more ashamed and angry. She suddenly felt very aggrieved, and tears fell involuntarily.

Chen Yu was caught between laughter and tears; he had thought she was a battle-hardened Tianyuan Pavilion agent, but he had not expected her to be a little girl who cried when she felt wronged.

If this continued, he was afraid some misunderstanding would arise, so he hurriedly released Su Yan and said somewhat awkwardly: "That, even if you lost, there's no need to cry."

"You bullied me." Su Yan wiped away her tears and said hatefully: "I was just taking you to the branch office; there is an important matter."

"Then say so properly," Chen Yu said speechlessly: "I'll go with you after I see my friend."

"The matter is about her." Su Yan looked up and said.

"About her?" An ominous premonition surged in Chen Yu's heart. Anything that could be targeted by Tianyuan Pavilion was definitely not a good thing. Could Su Yan be in danger?

"Yes." Su Yan nodded: "It's very important."

"That still won't do; no matter how important it is, it can wait a few hours, right?" Chen Yu said: "I'll go with you after I finish celebrating her birthday; you just wait for now."

"Chen Yu." Just at this moment, the coffee shop door opened, and Bai Muyu ran over happily. She took Chen Yu's arm and said joyfully: "You really came, let's go."

"Alright, let's go." Chen Yu nodded.

"Who is this?" Bai Muyu saw Su Yan, and she was slightly stunned because Su Yan looked somewhat familiar.

"Hello, my name is Su Yan." Su Yan put on a smiling face: "A friend of Chen Yu's."

"Not close." Chen Yu added those two words, fearing Bai Muyu would misunderstand.

"Do we know each other? Why do you look familiar to me?" Bai Muyu looked at Su Yan with a puzzled expression; she had indeed seen Su Yan somewhere before.

"Airport, shopping mall, coffee shop, even the subway, we have all crossed paths." Su Yan smiled: "To you, I might be a passerby, but to me, you are my mission."

"Mission? What mission?" Bai Muyu looked at her, looking completely confused.

"Muyu, let's go, this person is not normal." Chen Yu glanced at Su Yan with a warning and pulled Bai Muyu away.

Tianyuan Pavilion belonged to Dragon Breath; since they had a matter involving Bai Muyu, it was definitely not a small matter.

Although Su Yan's purpose was to protect Bai Muyu, Bai Muyu's mind was as simple as a sheet of paper, and Chen Yu did not want her to know about Tianyuan Pavilion.

"Chen Yu, what did she mean just now? Do I know her?" Bai Muyu looked completely confused.

"She meant that you two had bumped into each other." Chen Yu laughed: "Alright, don't ask anymore; after midnight, you'll be 28 years old."

"Yeah, yeah. I'm almost 28. Chen Yu, you know, when I was abroad, I always spent my birthday alone; I really wanted someone to accompany me," Bai Muyu said happily.

"Why didn't your dad accompany you?" Chen Yu asked.

"My dad? He's still in the lab right now; in his eyes, his achievements are more important than his precious daughter." Bai Muyu pouted.

"As for that stepmother of mine, honestly, even if she treats me well, I always feel like there's something between us, so I only have you." Bai Muyu held Chen Yu's arm.

"But I didn't prepare anything," Chen Yu said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Just having you here is enough; you don't need to prepare anything." Bai Muyu pulled Chen Yu, and the two walked along at a leisurely pace.

"It's midnight." Chen Yu checked the time: "Happy birthday to you, may you always be full of smiles."

As Chen Yu spoke, he took out a small Wooden Carving. The Wooden Carving was two inches long, perfectly round, and engraved with mysterious inscriptions. Moreover, it felt slightly cool to the touch; one look and it was clearly no ordinary item.

"What is this?" Bai Muyu asked as she took the Wooden Carving from Chen Yu's hand.

"A peach wood carving, for warding off evil; wearing it on your person can keep you safe," Chen Yu smiled.

This Wooden Carving had an Array diagram attached to it, which could save her Life at a critical moment; it was much stronger than those Amulets reinforced with Talisman Paper.

"Thank you so much." Bai Muyu toyed with the Wooden Carving in her hand, unable to put it down.

"It's not worth much, just wear it if you don't mind," Chen Yu laughed.

"It's not worth much, but it depends on who gave it; I like it very much." Bai Muyu giggled, put it around her neck, then faced the sky, pressed her palms together, and made a wish.

"What wish did you make?" Chen Yu asked.

"I can't say; if I say it out loud, it won't come true." Bai Muyu shook her head, took Chen Yu's arm, and walked forward along the path.

The path the two were on now was quite secluded, and with almost no pedestrians on the road at this hour, it was very quiet, perfect for the two of them to walk arm in arm.

"Chen Yu, have you ever thought about when your next relationship will begin?" Bai Muyu asked suddenly.
