After becoming invincible after descending the mountain, the aloof and beautiful CEO couldn't s

Sun Na rushed to the bedside, hugged her mother, and burst into tears.

"Mom! I'm back! I'm so sorry... I'm such an unfilial daughter... It's been so long since I came back to see you..."

The old woman raised her withered hand and gently stroked her daughter's hair, tears welling in her eyes: "It's good that you're back...it's good that you're back..."

The mother and daughter embraced and wept bitterly, a deeply moving scene.

Sun Quan stood aside, watching this scene, his eyes also slightly reddening.

He walked up to Shen Wencong, extended his hand, and said sincerely, "Brother-in-law, I was wrong about what happened before. From now on, the Sun family will always welcome you and Nana."

Shen Wencong grasped his hand and nodded: "Brother, you flatter me."

A feud that had lasted for more than 20 years finally came to a satisfactory end with Su Hao's help.

Su Hao, having expended a great deal of energy using the Rejuvenating Needle Technique, went alone to the pavilion in the backyard, sat cross-legged, and circulated the True Dragon Technique to recover his depleted true energy.

Shen Wencong followed and stood outside the pavilion to protect him.

About fifteen minutes later, Su Hao slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, and his complexion returned to its rosy hue.

He stood up, walked to the pavilion, looked at the flowers and trees in the courtyard, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "Uncle Shen, what exactly are my three masters' plans? Why did they make you, a grandmaster, hide your identity for more than ten years?"

Shen Wencong was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Young Master, I am only one link in the plan and do not know the whole picture. But based on my observations and speculations, the three lords seem to have an extremely terrifying enemy. They have been secretly plotting and accumulating strength for many years, all to deal with the arrival of that enemy. And you, Young Master... are very likely their greatest hope and trump card."

Su Hao frowned slightly: "What kind of enemy would require them to join forces and plan for over a decade?"

Shen Wencong shook his head: "I don't know either. I can't fathom the thoughts of the three lords. But I'm certain that the enemy is so powerful that even the three lords have to treat it with caution."

Su Hao fell silent.

He gazed at the rolling clouds on the distant horizon, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

His three masters always appeared calm and carefree in front of him, as if they were playing a game of life. He had never seen them tense or serious.

But now it seems that what they are carrying is far heavier than he imagined.

"I need to work harder."

Although Su Hao did not know who his three masters' enemies were, he knew that he had to improve his strength as soon as possible.

Only in this way can we protect those we want to protect in the storms of the future.

"Let's go, Uncle Shen, let's go back." Su Hao withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked out of the pavilion.

He asked Shen Qingci to stay at the Sun family home to keep her grandmother company, while he himself left first.

When they returned to the Li family home, it was already getting dark.

Li Qiuchan and Song Xiaoxiao were sitting in the living room watching TV.

Seeing Su Hao return, Song Xiaoxiao immediately jumped up, ran to him, and looked him up and down: "Why are you so late? Where did you go?"

"I went to the Sun family's house." Su Hao sat down on the sofa, picked up the water glass on the table, and took a sip.

"The Sun family? Which Sun family?" Li Qiuchan asked curiously.

"The Sun family of Jinling, that martial arts family," Su Hao said casually, putting down his water glass.

"Shen Qingci's grandmother was seriously ill, so I accompanied her there and managed to save her grandmother's life."

Song Xiaoxiao and Li Qiuchan exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.

This man always manages to cause a huge commotion wherever he goes.

That night, Su Hao met Li Qiuchan and Song Xiaoxiao in the courtyard as promised, teaching them a set of health-preserving exercises suitable for women.

"This set of exercises is called the Jade Maiden Qi Nourishing Technique, and it is specially designed for women. After practicing it, it can harmonize qi and blood, nourish the internal organs, delay aging, and make the skin smoother and more delicate." Su Hao stood in the center of the courtyard, the moonlight shining on him, gilding him with a layer of silvery-white radiance.

Li Qiuchan and Song Xiaoxiao stood opposite him, listening attentively.

"The first step is to adjust your breathing. When you inhale, imagine a cool stream of air rising from your dantian (lower abdomen) and ascending along your spine to the top of your head; when you exhale, imagine this stream of air descending from the top of your head along your chest and back to your dantian. Repeat this cycle for 15 minutes every day."

Su Hao explained and demonstrated at the same time.

His movements were slow and graceful, coordinated with his breathing, and he exuded a peaceful and serene aura.

Li Qiuchan and Song Xiaoxiao followed Su Hao's movements and practiced diligently.

At first, I was a little clumsy, but after practicing a few times, I gradually got the hang of it.

"Remember, the key to cultivation is perseverance. If you practice every day, you'll see noticeable results after a month." Su Hao withdrew his gesture, ending tonight's lesson.

Li Qiuchan and Song Xiaoxiao both felt warm all over, as if a warm current was flowing through their bodies, making them feel much more relaxed.

While the two women were taking a shower, Su Hao sensed someone approaching. He flashed and appeared next to a crooked tree.

Immediately afterwards, a woman came out.

She wore a simple black dress, her long hair cascading over her shoulders. Her features were exquisite and beautiful, and her temperament was aloof and noble, like a lotus flower blooming on a snow-capped mountain.

Su Hao frowned slightly.

He could sense that this woman was emanating an extremely powerful aura, which she had deliberately concealed, but it could not escape his perception.

This is a genuine grandmaster-level expert, and his cultivation is extremely high, probably no less than his own.

The woman's voice was clear and melodious, with a hint of languid laughter: "You must be Su Hao?"

Do you know me?

"My name is Zhan Xier." The woman stretched out her hand, her slender, fair fingers gleaming like jade in the dim light.

"Your eighth senior sister."

Su Hao paused for a moment, not immediately taking her hand, but instead looking her up and down with a scrutinizing gaze: "Eighth Senior Sister? How come I didn't know I had a senior sister?"

Zhan Xier withdrew her hand, unconcerned, and laughed, "There are many things you don't know. I was hidden away by my three masters."

She took a token from her small bag and pushed it in front of Su Hao.

It was a completely black token, made of the same material as the one Han Gaoyang had given him. However, instead of the character "武" (wu, meaning martial arts), the front of the token bore the ancient seal script character "令" (ling, meaning command). On the back, a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon coiled upwards was carved, exuding an aura of majesty.

"This is the order from the Director of the Martial Arts Department." Zhan Xier looked at Su Hao, her gaze becoming serious.

"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Zhan Xier, and I am the current director of the Military Affairs Department."

Su Hao picked up the token and examined it from all angles, confirming that it indeed bore the unique true energy imprint of his master, which confirmed her identity.

He returned the token, his tone softening somewhat.

"What does Eighth Senior Sister want with me?"
