Chapter 415: Heaven War Pavilion

The man in the lead had a sharp glint in his eyes, and a faint aura of treasure shimmered about his body; he appeared to be extremely powerful.

Of the two people behind him, one was nearly two meters tall, possessing an intense sense of intimidation, while the other was short and silent.

"Let me introduce you. These are a few friends from the Heaven War Pavilion: squad leader Ao Zhan, this big guy is Jiuge, and this is Mo Chen." Heihu stood up and made the introductions.

"Dragon Breath, Heaven War Pavilion?" Chen Yu glanced at the group, somewhat shocked. The Heaven War Pavilion was the violent department within Dragon Breath, ranking second in combat power.

The people inside entered the Dao through martial arts, or were augmented by mysterious techniques, or possessed innate gifts and awakened bloodlines. Although they were not Dharma Cultivators, their strength was only a few notches weaker than Dharma Cultivators. Since the Heaven War Pavilion had been dispatched, it seemed the situation this time was very serious.

"That's right." Ao Zhan glanced at Chen Yu: "Heihu, is he the person you were talking about?"

"That's right. Mr. Chen has already agreed to be responsible for Miss Bai's safety," Heihu said.

"Heh, since when does Dragon Breath need outside help?" Ao Zhan looked at Chen Yu, making no effort to hide the contempt in his eyes: "Besides, does this person have the strength to protect others? We are facing a Saint this time."

"That's right, the one who came from abroad this time is a Saint. People who are so arrogant and conceited are nine times out of ten useless." Chen Yu frowned and retorted.

"What did you say?" The burly Jiuge stepped forward and stomped on the ground.

Crack! A fissure appeared on the floor beneath, spiderweb-like cracks extending forward, and the entire room shook slightly.

"Jiuge, don't lose your temper, he's one of our own." Heihu's expression darkened slightly: "This is our stronghold; are you planning to tear our stronghold down?"

"Captain Hu, I didn't mean that." Jiuge said in a muffled voice: "I just wanted to let this kid know that there are some people who cannot be offended."

"We've got the matter of the Bai family father and daughter covered; others can just stay out of it." Ao Zhan looked arrogant: "The opponent this time has dispatched a Saint. Although they haven't reached the First Rank, this is not something just anyone can provoke."

"If there really is a Saint, I'm afraid the three of you bucket-heads combined wouldn't be able to tear one apart." Chen Yu had never been the type to suffer losses easily; his creed was that if the other party bit him, he would bite back without hesitation.

"Kid, you're courting death." Jiuge was furious. He clenched his right hand, forming a massive fist, and with a 'whoosh', he punched toward Chen Yu.

This punch carried a transparent trail, and even the air was slightly distorted by it. If this punch landed, even a Martial True Realm expert would have to weigh whether they could withstand it.

Suddenly, Chen Yu's figure flickered and he appeared right in front of Jiuge. Jiuge was slightly stunned; Chen Yu's speed was too fast, so fast that he couldn't react at all.

Chen Yu raised his right palm and struck toward Jiuge with a light, airy blow.

Jiuge's body shook, he let out a muffled groan, and went 'bang, bang, bang' as he retreated three steps.

The floorboards beneath his feet shattered completely; it was clear that Chen Yu's palm strike had been very difficult for him to receive.

His expression froze, and with a 'pfft', a trace of True Qi surged out from his heart, causing the muscles on his back to bulge.

"Jiuge." Ao Zhan and Mo Chen stepped forward, their faces showing a hint of gravity.

It was clear that Jiuge had suffered a loss at Chen Yu's hands. One had to know that among the three of them, Jiuge practiced hard external martial arts, his defense impenetrable even by ordinary blades and swords, and he was innately gifted with immense strength; he didn't even look at Martial True Realm experts.

Yet, this seemingly light palm strike from Chen Yu had caused him to suffer a hidden injury. Just who was this Chen Yu, to be able to make Jiuge suffer such a big loss?

"I'm fine." Jiuge's expression changed drastically, and the look he gave Chen Yu was already somewhat strange.

"This mission was assigned to our two pavilions by Dragon Breath, and I don't need to say how important it is. When I came here, the Dragon Lord personally appointed me as captain. Ao Zhan, are you three planning to disobey orders?"

"Ao Zhan would not dare." Hearing the words 'Dragon Lord', the expressions of the three all tightened slightly. That legendary figure personally paying attention to this matter meant that this matter was extremely important.

No matter how arrogant they were, they could not delay this matter, otherwise, they truly could not bear the responsibility.

Ao Zhan nodded and said: "Since the Dragon Lord personally appointed you as captain, then we will obey. We will listen to whatever arrangements you make."

"But Heihu, if things go wrong because of this kid, you will have to bear the consequences." Ao Zhan said in a deep voice: "Farewell."

The three said nothing more and turned to leave. Heihu finally let out a sigh of relief. He turned his head and said: "Mr. Chen, I am truly sorry. The Heaven War Pavilion's rank is higher than ours, and these people are strong, so they don't obey management."

"It's fine, they will obey in the future." Chen Yu smiled faintly: "It's settled then, I will ensure Muyu's safety."

"Then thank you, Mr. Chen." Heihu nodded: "Once we ferret out the person behind the scenes, your mission will be complete. That day won't be too far off."

After Ao Zhan and the other two left, Jiuge suddenly felt a pain in his chest. He locked his brows and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Jiuge, how are you?" The remaining two were startled. They had only thought Jiuge had suffered a loss, but they hadn't expected him to be seriously injured.

"I'm fine, I just lost a bit of Primordial Qi. I didn't expect that kid to be so powerful; he actually managed to break my defense," Jiuge gritted his teeth and said.

"You exchanged blows with him, how do you think his strength is?" Mo Chen asked.

"He was holding back his strength." Jiuge's words left the two in silence.

Early the next morning, Chen Yu's car picked up Bai Muyu downstairs.

"Chen Yu, ahhh, why are you here?" Seeing Chen Yu, Bai Muyu pounced over excitedly.

"Let's go, I'll take you to work today," Chen Yu laughed.

"Really? What do you mean by this?" Bai Muyu looked at Chen Yu with glowing eyes.

"This..." Chen Yu gave a bitter smile. He was doing this to protect Bai Muyu; she must not know she was in the midst of a crisis.

But he couldn't say it directly, so he could only say: "What do you think? From now on, I will be responsible for your commute to and from work."

"That's great." Bai Muyu pounced forward fiercely, hugging Chen Yu's neck tightly.

"Alright, let's go." Chen Yu bit the bullet; this misunderstanding had truly blown up.

After dropping Bai Muyu off at work, Chen Yu went to that coffee shop again and ordered a cup of coffee.

Suddenly, a figure walked over and sat down opposite Chen Yu. It was a woman in a white dress; although she was getting on in years, she still possessed a certain lingering charm.

This woman was none other than Bai Muyu's stepmother, Yu Jing.

"Heh, Xiao Chen, what a coincidence." Yu Jing sat down gracefully opposite Chen Yu.

"I'm afraid it's not a coincidence. You came here specifically to find me, didn't you, Auntie?" Chen Yu looked at her appearance and guessed her intentions instantly.

"That's right, I came here specifically to find you." Yu Jing was slightly stunned. Chen Yu's eyes seemed to have seen through her already. Since he had seen through it, she might as well admit it.

"Is it about Muyu?" Chen Yu asked.

"It seems you know everything. That's good, I can save myself a lot of breath." Yu Jing smiled slightly and pushed a check toward Chen Yu.

"What do you mean by this?" Chen Yu looked at Yu Jing, puzzled.

"Leave Muyu. You can fill in any number you want on this," Yu Jing said calmly.

"Are you sure?" Chen Yu was speechless. Although she lived well, saying these things was a bit overconfident.

"Although my old man Bai is just a scientist, I have a few small businesses under my own name, especially abroad, where I have a few mines. So even if you fill this check to the brim, I can still cash it."

Yu Jing said leisurely: "Listen, although I am only a stepmother, I treat her as my own daughter, so I hope she marries well."

"Do you think I cannot give her happiness?" Chen Yu frowned; he felt that Yu Jing was not simple.

"Correct, you cannot give her happiness." Yu Jing smiled: "Although my Muyu did not grow up with a silver spoon in her mouth, her life is also top-tier."

"Moreover, she herself is a genius, and her future achievements will not be below those of Old Bai, while you are merely a Medicine practitioner; do you think that being with her, there is any happiness to speak of?"
