The Master Descends the Mountain: My Destined CEO

Master Que Jin knew Lin Chuxing's character—she would absolutely never agree!

Besides, over the years, he had instilled in her the profound need for revenge!

He was only saying this to appear benevolent and, more importantly, to give her another nudge.

Sure enough, Lin Chuxing's expression instantly darkened, her beautiful face turning as cold as ice.

"I'm not the person I used to be. The Xiao Family? So what? I will have my revenge and make him pay the price he deserves!"

Master Que Jin, as if unable to persuade her, shook his head. "Ah, you... You're all grown up now. I can't control you anymore."

"My advice is that you should hide for a while. He's already looking for you and me. Laying low is the best option for now."

Lin Chuxing suddenly stood up. "Father, I need to go back."

"Rest assured, I will do what must be done. I absolutely will not let him continue to get away scot-free!"

Master Que Jin waved his hand, feigning weakness. "Alright, you can go back then. Just don't forget to think about what I said."

"Oh, by the way, I have some business to attend to. I need to go abroad for a while."

'I really need to get out and hide.'

'Otherwise, with Xiao Ye's capabilities, he'll find me sooner or later.'

'Luckily, I know plenty of powerful and influential people. One of them has a private jet and can get me out of the country tonight. Everything's already been arranged.'

'No matter how powerful the Xiao Family is, they can't possibly be watching everyone.'

'Once I'm abroad, I'll be out of his reach. Xiao Ye won't be able to touch me.'

'From here on, it's all up to Lin Chuxing!'

Lin Chuxing nodded, showing no emotion. Master Que Jin often disappeared—it wasn't the first or second time—so she had long since gotten used to it.

After Lin Chuxing left, Master Que Jin immediately opened his safe, took out all the valuables and a fake passport inside, and left in a hurry.

He arrived at the airport, where the private jet was already waiting.

Not long after he boarded, the plane quickly took off, disappearing into the skies above the Imperial City.

「Elsewhere.」

The Xiao Family's men were still searching for any trace of Master Que Jin.

But they couldn't find him.

Three more days passed, but there was still no news.

Xiao Ye had them continue searching, planning to first take Lin Chuyue and the others back to Jiangcheng.

As for himself, he had to return to the Imperial City. He would find the man himself!

And he would meet this Master Que Jin face-to-face!

'Only by meeting in person can you truly size someone up.'

'Among Daoists, a single face-to-face meeting is worth more than a hundred phone calls.'

But Lin Chuyue didn't want to go back. "I want to stay here. That way, if they're in any danger, I can get there in time!"

"I've already left some Death Warriors behind. They're very skilled and will certainly be able to protect your parents."

"I still don't want to go back. Don't worry about me. Your Death Warriors will protect me, and Mu Xiang is here too. If you have something you need to do, just go on ahead."

Lin Chuyue refused to budge. Worried that Master Que Jin would come looking for trouble with them, Xiao Ye had no choice but to drop the subject.

'An evil practitioner like that is capable of any sinister trick!'

Xiao Ye didn't try to persuade her further. Just as he was about to return to his room to rest, his phone rang again.

He walked to the balcony and answered, "Has something happened to the Golden Saber?"

The subordinate on the other end of the line was the man he had sent to keep an eye on the Golden Saber. "Yes, Patriarch, something's happened to the Golden Saber!"

"We're currently at the Yin Family's residence in Shanghai, the holders of the Golden Saber. We just received word that their Golden Saber has very likely been swapped!"

"And it happened today!"

"The Yin Family contacted us. They wish to meet with you. They say they have important information to provide."

Since it concerned the Golden Saber, Xiao Ye had to go and see.

But Mu Xiang and Lin Chuyue were still here.

"Alright. I'll get back to you. Keep watching, and call me if anything happens."

Xiao Ye hung up and returned to the living room.

"Chuyue, this time, you and Mu Xiang must leave!"

"Something's happened with one of the Golden Sabers, and the others have had problems too. The mastermind behind this is no simple character. It's extremely likely you'll be in danger if you two stay here alone."

"We'll return to Jiangcheng first, then take the old master with us to the Imperial City! Otherwise, even Jiangcheng could become dangerous."

Lin Chuyue could see the urgency of the situation, and since it involved Lin Aoshan, she had no choice but to agree.

The three of them immediately packed their things and headed back to Jiangcheng.

The Lin Group was already stable, and Xiao Ye could have his people manage it, so there was no need to worry about any issues.

When Lin Aoshan heard he was also going to the Imperial City, he didn't hesitate. "At my age, I still get a chance to see the Imperial City. That's wonderful!"

"Besides, my family might be reunited someday. I absolutely can't let anything happen to me!"

"Xiao Ye, I'll go with you. I can't be a burden, and I can't let myself get into danger!"

Before, Lin Aoshan might not have wanted to go, worried about causing trouble for Xiao Ye.

But now that he knew his son, Lin Feng, was alive, he knew they would be reunited one day.

Suddenly, Lin Aoshan had a powerful new reason to live!

After packing their things, the group immediately took the Xiao Family's private jet back to the Imperial City.

The Xiao Family estate was currently like a fortress. Even if some members had ulterior motives, they didn't dare act on them.

Otherwise, Xiao Ye wouldn't hold back. A light offense would earn you a beating; a serious one would get you expelled from the family entirely.

To ensure Lin Aoshan's safety, he was housed with Lin Chuyue.

This centralized their protection, making it more convenient. Besides, staying with a familiar face would make him more comfortable in a new place.

Xiao Ye called Mu Xiang over. "I'm about to leave. You'll stay at the Xiao Family estate during this time."

"Chuyue is very stoic. She always tries not to be a bother to me, so I have a mission for you."

"If anyone in the Xiao Family gives Lin Chuyue or the old master any trouble, just drop my name. If that doesn't solve the problem, call me."

"If you do a good job, I can promise you one favor. But if you fail, I won't be so courteous."

Mu Xiang didn't take his threat seriously at all. "Don't worry. With me here, no one can bully them. I'm not one to be taken advantage of!"

"Just go. Have a safe trip."

Xiao Ye cast one last, deep look at Lin Chuyue in her room, then strode away.

「Shanghai.」

「The Yin Family Estate.」

The nine Golden Sabers each represent one of nine ultimate principles.

The one possessed by the Yin Family represents Reputation!

After obtaining the Golden Saber, the Yin Family began to soar.

Following Lingxiao Daoist's instructions, they often did good deeds.

It was precisely because of their good reputation that their business reached a new level. The local people trusted the Yin Family's brand immensely, leaving other families far behind.

Now, whoever mentioned the Yin Family would give a thumbs-up and call them good people.

「At the entrance to the Yin Family estate.」

A taxi slowly came to a stop.

Xiao Ye got out of the car, glanced at the house number to confirm it was correct, and then rang the doorbell.

A moment later, a man who looked like a bodyguard opened the door. "Who are you looking for?"
