Chapter 53: Xiao Ruoyu and Xia Qingxue are targeted by a hungry wolf (begging for readers to follow)
Su Yong frowned slightly, clearly feeling that something was amiss with this.
He pondered for a moment and said, "No, this plan is too dangerous. We should think of another way."
Su Yong was still very wary of the power behind Su Chen; with someone like Su Chen, one had to finish him off completely in one go, otherwise, once he reacted, the one to die would be himself.
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan and Xiao Tiancheng exchanged a glance, clearly not feeling that there was anything wrong with this plan.
Seeing this, Su Yong explained, "You don't understand. On the surface, Su Chen is a dissolute playboy, but in reality, the power behind him is immense. His mother possesses a force independent of the Su Family—the Shadow Guard. Once Su Chen is harmed, this force will find us in a very short time and kill us all."
Although he hated Su Chen and Qin Xinran, he was not stupid; he knew that in this world, only by staying alive would he have a chance to avenge his parents.
Moreover, he also saw Su Chen's changes and ambition. Now that he was accumulating his own power, and with the Su Family being the number one great family in the Donghua Continent, he could not make a move yet, otherwise, he feared he wouldn't even know how he died.
"Shadow Guard."
Ye Fan and Xiao Tiancheng frowned at the same time; they also felt a sense of dread regarding the power behind Su Chen.
"Looking at it this way, this matter is indeed a bit tricky," Ye Fan sighed.
"Mm, it is indeed not easy to handle."
Xiao Tiancheng nodded, then looked at Su Yong and asked, "Brother Su Yong, do you have any brilliant ideas?"
"I believe that since we cannot deal with Su Chen, we should use Xiao Ruoyu to divert the disaster elsewhere."
Speaking of this, a thick murderous intent appeared in Su Yong's eyes.
"Divert the disaster elsewhere? What does Brother Su Yong mean?" Both Ye Fan and Xiao Tiancheng had looks of confusion in their eyes.
Su Yong gave a cold snort and said, "If we can't deal with Su Chen, then we find someone who can, and then create an opportunity for him to have a chance encounter with Xiao Ruoyu. I think that with Xiao Ruoyu's peerless beauty, it will surely attract the other party's attention. At that time, we secretly reveal to him that Xiao Ruoyu is unmarried, heh heh, I don't need to say more about what happens next, right?"
Su Yong laughed in a sinister manner, the expression on his face becoming increasingly venomous.
"What a poisonous scheme. As long as those two parties start fighting, we can just sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight."
Xiao Tiancheng slapped the table in admiration.
Ye Fan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly chimed in, "Brother Su Yong, this method is truly excellent. It is worthy of great wisdom. I admire you, I truly admire you!"
"You two brothers are too kind. This is also a last resort. After all, this Su Chen is no ordinary person. If we act rashly, we might stir up trouble. We can only borrow the power of outsiders," Su Yong said modestly.
"Then which power does Brother Su Yong think can contend with the Su Family?" Xiao Tiancheng asked.
Upon hearing this, Su Yong narrowed his eyes: "The Heavenly Dao Sect!"
"The hidden sect of the Donghua Continent—the Heavenly Dao Sect. Don't they stay out of worldly affairs? Where are we going to find them?" Xiao Tiancheng rubbed his nose and asked in confusion.
As the eldest young master of the Xiao Family, he had naturally heard some things about hidden sects from his elders.
"Although they stay out of worldly affairs, their connection with the outside world has always existed. Yesterday, a Daoist Disciple and Personal Disciple of their Heavenly Dao Sect came down the mountain for training and happened to arrive at our Donghua Prefecture. I imagine the person is still within the prefecture."
Speaking of this, Su Yong paused, looked at Xiao Tiancheng, and continued, "Tiancheng, find a way to get Xiao Ruoyu out so that they happen to have a chance encounter in front of this restaurant. Leave the Daoist Disciple and Personal Disciple to me. You hurry back to the manor to make arrangements."
"Good! There is no time to lose. Brother Ye Fan and I will go back now!"
Xiao Tiancheng did not drag his feet; he nodded in agreement immediately, then bid farewell to Su Yong and left the restaurant with Ye Fan.

One hour later.
"Sister Ruoyu, why did you bring me here?"
Xia Qingxue held onto Xiao Ruoyu's arm, walking on the streets of the prefecture, and asked full of curiosity.
Xiao Ruoyu pursed her rosy, sexy lips and whispered, "You'll know in a moment."
"Oh." Xia Qingxue responded lightly.
Her gaze looked forward, and her eyes flowed with anticipation.
Before long, they arrived downstairs at the "Zui Xiang Building" restaurant, and Xia Qingxue understood in a second.
This close friend was inviting her to eat.
"Qingxue, what are you still standing there for? Why don't you hurry inside?" Xiao Ruoyu pulled Xia Qingxue's arm, about to walk inside.
Just then, a young Daoist wearing white Daoist robes blocked the two women's path.
"Two young ladies, please stay your steps. This humble Daoist observes signs of a romantic encounter for you both..." The young Daoist smiled.
His refined face was full of kindness.
"We have nothing to say to you."
Xiao Ruoyu glanced at him coldly and prepared to take Xia Qingxue around the other party to leave.
She was very repulsed by this way of hitting on people.
"Two young ladies, do not be impatient. This humble Daoist is Chu Yang, a Personal Disciple of the Xuanzhen Daoist Child of the Heavenly Dao Sect. This time, I am acting on the orders of my Sect Master and Master to descend the mountain for training. Passing through the Donghua Prefecture, I happened to run into you two. It seems this humble Daoist is fated with you two young ladies."
As he spoke, he fished two red invitation cards from his bosom.
"The Heavenly Dao Sect, a disciple of the Xuanzhen Daoist Child?"
Xia Qingxue took the invitation cards, unable to help but widen her eyes, looking incredulous.
The Heavenly Dao Sect was one of the few hidden sects of the Donghua Continent, with tens of thousands of disciples within and countless prodigies and experts.
She had heard her elders talk about these things since she was young, but she only knew that the people in the Heavenly Dao Sect were very powerful; she never expected that she would actually be able to see a living one one day.
"Are you really from the Heavenly Dao Sect?"
Xia Qingxue let go of Xiao Ruoyu's arm and began to circle around Chu Yang to look him over.
This young Daoist had a well-proportioned figure and a handsome appearance. Although he looked only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, he had an ethereal, immortal air, giving people the feeling of someone who did not eat the food of mortals.
Her thinking was simple, and she did not see through Chu Yang's intentions.
"Of course it's true!"
Chu Yang proudly puffed out his chest, looking as if he were looking down on the masses, then looked at Xiao Ruoyu and said, "Two young ladies, if you don't mind, would this humble Daoist like to invite you both to taste some vegetarian food together?"
"Okay!"
Xia Qingxue, who was full of curiosity, nodded and agreed without hesitation.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Chu Yang's mouth, and he felt secretly smug in his heart.
"Thank you for your kindness, Daoist, but Qingxue and I are leaving!"
Xiao Ruoyu seemed to see through Chu Yang's thoughts and coldly refused.
Afterwards, she hurriedly pulled Xia Qingxue by the arm and left without looking back.
Watching the two women's retreating figures, a sinister look appeared on Chu Yang's face, and he muttered to himself: "Since you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, don't blame me for being ruthless. No woman I, this Daoist master, have taken a fancy to has ever been able to escape my grasp."
Having finished speaking, he licked his lips, a lecherous glint appearing in his eyes.
