Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 817: Night Walker

"A trivial task, anyone who sees a situation like this wouldn't stand by and do nothing."

Su Chen said with a slight smile.

"Regardless, I must thank Mr. Su."

The woman in white said faintly:

"I heard from Little Jiao that Mr. Su wants to stay for a night. By rights, our Lingyue Palace doesn't allow men to stay overnight, but considering you rescued Little Jiao, we'll let you stay for one night. You'll leave early tomorrow morning."

Although the woman in white seemed to be allowing him to stay, upon closer listening, she was essentially asking him to leave, essentially saying, "You must leave first thing in the morning!"

"Sorry for the disturbance."

Su Chen cupped his hands and said.

Then the woman in white instructed another woman in yellow to lead Su Chen to a guest room at the front.

After Su Chen left, the woman in white couldn't help but complain to Meng Jiao:

"I told you not to run around, now see what trouble it brought!"

"I was just getting some bean paste buns for you!"

Meng Jiao tugged at the corner of the woman in white's dress.

"Was it worth it for bean paste buns? How many times have I told you not to run around aimlessly? You never listen. See if you'll dare next time!"

The woman in white said irritably.

"But you love eating them, don't you miss?"

Meng Jiao murmured.

"You!"

The woman in white stretched out a slender finger and poked Meng Jiao's forehead, somewhat speechless. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Facing Meng Jiao, the woman in white seemed to lose some of the coldness she had when speaking with Su Chen.

"And you never listen when told to focus on your cultivation. You didn't even notice you were being followed the whole way."

The woman in white said with some anger and helplessness:

"You're grounded for a month! Stay in the palace and focus on your cultivation!"

"Understood, miss."

Meng Jiao said pitifully.

......

The place arranged for Su Chen by Lingyue Palace was spacious and clean. After lying down to rest for a while, someone brought him dinner, though it was quite bland.

After dinner, Su Chen sat cross-legged on the bed to cultivate, as it was still early.

True Yuan flowed within his body, quietly nourishing every organ, making him feel very comfortable!

Because the small Gathering Yuan Formation in the villa had been upgraded to a medium-sized one, his cultivation speed had taken a big leap forward!

After so many days of cultivation, he faintly felt that he was about to break through again, only missing a catalyst!

If he broke through this time, he'd reach half-step Meridian Expansion. The next step would be the true Meridian Expansion Realm!

What should he do after reaching the Meridian Expansion Realm?

The closer he got to the Meridian Expansion Realm, the more anxious and confused he became.

......

Tonight, the moon was bright and sparse stars dotted the sky, with occasional bird calls from around.

Feeling that it was about time, Su Chen stopped his cultivation and opened his bag.

Inside, there was a set of nightwalking clothes and a mask. Besides those, there were also a few smoke bombs prepared by Qin Ming.

Coming to a place like Lingyue Palace, he naturally had to be well-prepared.

After putting on the nightwalking clothes and mask, Su Chen slipped a few smoke bombs into his pocket and quietly slipped out, making sure to close the door behind him.

Although Su Chen didn't know where the Medicine Pavilion was, he had a few options in mind.

This was mainly based on the storage conditions for herbs, such as needing to be dry, ventilated, but not exposed to direct sunlight—better if it was somewhere cool.

So, the first layer of buildings was immediately ruled out because the first floor tends to be damp, okay for regular herbs but not for precious ones!

Places exposed to sunlight were also ruled out, meaning the rooms on the right were impossible because those faced the sun at noon!

So he was left with buildings on the left and front, two-storied or higher, and with windows.

This ruled out most buildings.

Taking into account secrecy and security, there were even fewer options left.

Based on these criteria, Su Chen initially identified five or six places.

He planned to start with those places, and if he didn't find it, he'd consider other possibilities.

Since the place he stayed was close to the front, he naturally started searching from the front.

He brushed against the columns outside the left rooms, quietly approaching his first suspect building, a two-storied structure.

Su Chen glanced left and right, then leaped up to the second floor, peeking through a window to see it wasn't the place, so he quickly slipped down.

Soon after, he moved to the next place. Although there were female disciples patrolling and some moonlight spilling about, it was night, and Su Chen was wearing nightwalking clothes. Plus, he was extremely fast and experienced, so no one noticed!

When a patrol team turned a corner, Su Chen quickly jumped upstairs again. Checking upstairs was safer as the ground floor was more likely to be noticed.

Peering through a window on the second floor, he found all sorts of weapons inside—still not the Medicine Pavilion.

The next two or three suspect places also didn't turn out to be the Medicine Pavilion.

"Could that old diviner Zhuge have been deceiving me?"

Su Chen hid in a corner, wondering to himself.

Any further, and he'd reach the residential area of Lingyue Palace members. They wouldn't place the Medicine Pavilion near their living quarters, right?

Here, the buildings' structures were entirely different from earlier. Up front, they stood separately.

Here, they were connected into one, with both sides connected to the middle.

Whether left or right or the center, they were all three-storied buildings with hooked eaves, and the second and third-floor corridors were interconnected.

Meaning you could walk from any place on the second or third floor to any other room along the corridors.

The only difference was the central building was more spacious and grand than the sides.

Searching these rooms was far more dangerous than before!

Though there were no patrols, it was the residence of Lingyue Palace members!

Who knows how many hidden masters were lurking here. Not to mention today's encounter with the woman in white; her cultivation wasn't much worse than his, maybe even higher.

But having reached this point, Su Chen couldn't give up!

Du Hanbing was still lying in the hospital, waiting for him to save her!

Gritting his teeth, Su Chen climbed up a column on the left to the second floor and immediately hid.

He judged the Medicine Pavilion wouldn't be on the right. If it existed, it was either on the left or center.

Luckily, most people had gone to bed. Occasionally, someone passed by, but he hid quickly and avoided detection. It was a close call...
