The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

The woman who appeared wore a black sleeveless top, a deep red skirt, and black high heels. She was carrying an expensive little GUCCI bag. Li Huiran owned several purses from the same brand, and Chen Dong could never wrap his head around why they were so expensive.

But none of that was important. The woman before them, wearing full makeup, was quite beautiful. She put on a fierce act, but a smile played on her lips. Her cultivation aura was merely at the Outer Appearance Realm, yet she dared to block their path and threaten revenge.

Chen Dong tilted his head, sizing her up. "You're Guo Meizhu?"

The woman laughed. "It's good that you remember. I was afraid you'd forgotten me!"

This was the very first disciple from the Guo Family that Chen Dong had encountered when he went to stir up trouble at their estate. He had nearly been hit by her car, and in the end, he had used her as a weapon to smash against the Guo Family's main gate.

Chen Dong said flatly, "If you want revenge, make your move."

Guo Meizhu quickly shook her head, balling her fist and making a gesture. "I know I can't beat you yet, but one day, I'll show you just how tough I am!"

She had trained obsessively, neglecting food and sleep, all to get revenge for being used to smash that gate. She had never suffered such humiliation in her life, and the memory was seared into her mind. Chen Dong had become the sole target of her Martial Dao training. She fantasized about the day she would finally have him under her heel, crushing him mercilessly.

She had rushed over because she was afraid Chen Dong might forget her. 'How devastating would it be to finally master the Martial Dao, show up at his door, only to be asked, "And who are you?"'

Chen Dong smiled faintly. "Not bad. You've reached the Outer Appearance Realm in two years!"

Guo Meizhu said proudly, "Of course! I'm a Martial Dao genius. The only reason I lost last time is because I was lazy back then!"

Chen Dong's eyes suddenly landed on the Military Suppression Department token hanging from Guo Meizhu's waist. "You work for the Military Suppression Department now?"

Guo Meizhu nodded with a proud smile. "That's right. I'm now a Capital Region Commander for the Military Suppression Department."

"We're actually on our way to the Military Suppression Department ourselves. We haven't been to Beijing in a while, so it's a good thing we ran into you. Would you mind showing us the way?"

"I suppose I could."

Guo Meizhu started walking, leading the way. "What are you going to the Military Suppression Department for?"

"We're looking for Tian God Department. She's still around, right?"

Guo Meizhu glanced back, slightly surprised. "You actually know Tian God Department?" Then it occurred to her: two years ago, Chen Dong was already at the Internal Scenery Realm, and his power surpassed even her own clan's ancestor. It wasn't so strange that he would know Tian God Department.

Guo Meizhu's tone turned excited, as if she were explaining.

"Tian God Department is my idol! She single-handedly led both the Tian and Liu families to their zenith. Ever since our ancestor died, the Guo Family has been in a slump. If I could just reach the Profound Pill Realm in my Martial Dao like Tian God Department, the Guo Family could rise again. And when that happens, you'll be in for it!"

Chen Dong laughed. "Alright, I'll be waiting."

"When you see Tian God Department, could you get an autograph for me? Consider it payment for showing you the way."

Chen Dong retorted, "Aren't you a Capital Region Commander in the Military Suppression Department? It shouldn't be that hard for you to see her, should it? Why do you need me to get it?"

Guo Meizhu shook her head. "Chang God Department is the one who mostly manages the Military Suppression Department. Tian God Department rarely appears in public. But we should have a chance to see her today. An emissary from the Floating Shadow Realm is coming!"

Chen Dong was shocked. "What's this about an emissary from the Floating Shadow Realm?"

Guo Meizhu stared at him, stunned. "You don't know?" 'Logically, with his Martial Dao Realm, Chen Dong should be among the most powerful people in the world. He ought to know about this.'

Chen Dong shook his head.

Guo Meizhu clapped a hand over her mouth. "If you don't know, then I can't say anything more. This is classified information for the Military Suppression Department!"

The corner of Chen Dong's mouth twitched. 'She's already spilled the beans, and now she's calling it classified?'

The three of them walked down a street and arrived at the official headquarters of the Military Suppression Department. Many department personnel were patrolling the perimeter. Whenever a patrol squad saw Guo Meizhu, they would stop to salute and greet her.

"Greetings, Guo Zongqi."

Under Guo Meizhu's lead, Chen Dong and Li Huiran passed through layers of guards with ease.

After passing through a checkpoint that resembled a city gate, they entered a massive plaza. To the left and right stood two towering, modern office buildings. But directly ahead, in the center, was a magnificent palace-style hall, with a continuous series of palatial structures stretching out behind it. This was Chen Dong's first time at the Military Suppression Department headquarters; it was a jarring fusion of ancient and modern architecture.

"Now that we're here, aren't you going to contact Tian God Department?"

Chen Dong could sense numerous Arrays laid out across the headquarters, making it difficult to probe with his Divine Sense. Many of the buildings seemed to block it completely. He couldn't even perceive Tian Sisi's location, so trying to send a message directly with his Divine Sense was pure fantasy.

At this, Guo Meizhu grew suspicious. "You don't actually know Tian God Department at all, do you? Are you here to cause trouble again?"

The more she thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. She quickly added, her voice nervous, "You'd better not try anything stupid! I'm the one who brought you in! If I get punished because of you, I'll fucking fight you to the death!"

Chen Dong was about to explain, but Guo Meizhu's phone rang.

She checked it. It was a group message. A middle-aged man's voice boomed out with grave importance: "The emissary from the Floating Shadow Realm arrives in ten minutes! All personnel assemble! All Commanders and above are required to be present!"

At the same time, bells began to ring throughout the Military Suppression Department compound, summoning all personnel.

DONG! DONG! DONG!...

Guo Meizhu lowered her phone and said with confusion, "Why so soon? Weren't they supposed to come this afternoon?"

She then looked at Chen Dong and Li Huiran. "Maybe you two should leave first!" But then she thought about Chen Dong's power and his temper. 'What if he starts a scene right now?' She quickly changed her mind. "Ugh, never mind, never mind. Come with me. But let me make this clear: no causing trouble!"
