Unparalleled medical and martial arts skills, saving the CEO's fiancée at the start.

"Master, I don't want to go down the mountain!"

Wutong Mountain, Yaowang Valley.

In front of the bamboo house, Ye Chen, a handsome young man in his early twenties, was making a fuss over the beautiful woman on the bamboo chair.

Su Qinghan, dressed in a plain white dress, with a cold and ethereal face, her phoenix eyes slightly open, her voice like jade breaking: "There's no room for discussion, you must go down the mountain."

"Your senior brother went down the mountain without permission and has been entangled in worldly tribulations ever since. Your fate is special, and it is time for you to enter the world and settle your worldly ties."

With that, she waved her hand, and a yellowed marriage contract fluttered down.

"Eighteen years ago, your grandmaster was traveling in Jiangcheng and accidentally saved the old master of the Jiang family. In order to repay the debt of gratitude, the Jiang family arranged this marriage between children. Jiang Ruoxi, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, is now in charge of the Jiang Group worth hundreds of billions and is your fiancée."

Ye Chen's eyes widened: "A female CEO worth hundreds of billions? A rich and beautiful woman? Master, you should have said so earlier!"

Before he could finish laughing, Su Qinghan poured cold water on his joy: "Good disciple, you have two choices. One is to go down the mountain and break off the engagement, severing the karmic ties, but you will have to endure the Three-Whip Locking Whip, which will destroy your cultivation and leave you a mortal for life."

The smile on Ye Chen's face immediately vanished.

"The other is to fulfill the marriage contract and protect her. She is destined to be lonely and will face a life-or-death calamity at the age of twenty-three. If you help her overcome this calamity, you can directly reach the supreme realm."

Is this still a choice?

Ye Chen's lips twitched: "Master, you're clearly forcing me to leave the mountain!"

Su Qinghan closed his eyes again, his tone leaving no room for doubt: "Good disciple, you will set off in three days. Remember, keep your strength hidden and do not reveal your identity or full power unless absolutely necessary."

"She is surrounded by dangers; her business enemies and underground martial artists all want her dead. You must protect her secretly and wait for the right opportunity."

Ye Chen knew there was no room for negotiation.

This master usually seems gentle, but when he gets serious, he's ruthless than anyone else.

If the engagement is annulled, his cultivation will be destroyed. Does that mean all the medical and martial arts skills he learned over the past eighteen years were for nothing?

He resignedly put away the marriage contract, muttering, "Fine, fine, I'll go down the mountain then. But I'll make it clear beforehand, if I can't handle it, I'll come back to serve my master."

Su Qinghan didn't open her eyes, but simply raised her hand slightly, and a gentle stream of true energy quietly entered Ye Chen's body, protecting his vital points.

"The world is a dangerous place. If you encounter any trouble that you can't handle, just mention my name, and no one in all of China will dare to touch you."

Three days later.

Ye Chen, carrying his master's casual bag and tucking in the dried spiritual fruit he had eaten since childhood, stood in the center of Jiangcheng City.

Skyscrapers stand tall, and traffic flows like a river.

Having lived in the mountains for eighteen years, this is the first time I've seen such a tall building. The Jiang Group Building is even more exaggerated than the cliff behind the mountain.

Ye Chen, dressed in a simple black casual outfit, stood among the well-dressed business elites. His casual and indifferent demeanor made him stand out even more.

"Let's go see what my fiancée looks like first." Ye Chen stepped into the Jiang Group Building.

The lobby was bustling with people, all of whom were well-dressed business professionals.

Just as Ye Cheng was about to go to the front desk to ask about Jiang Ruoxi's office, a clear, cold female voice came from behind him.

"Get out of the way."

His voice was as cold as ice, just like his master's.

Ye Chen turned his head to the side, and his eyes lit up instantly.

The woman wore a black haute couture suit, her long hair styled in an updo, revealing her exquisite, fair swan neck. Her features were stunning, her eyebrows like distant mountains, her eyes like cold stars, and she exuded an aura of cold elegance that kept strangers at bay.

Two bodyguards in black stood guard on either side, while the female secretary leading the way also had a serious expression.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang."

"General Manager Jiang."

The surrounding employees all lowered their heads and made way, not daring to breathe.

Ye Chen confirmed from the discussions of those around him that the aloof and beautiful female CEO in front of him was indeed his fiancée, Jiang Ruoxi.

"She really is an ice queen," Ye Chen thought to himself, even colder than his master.

Jiang Ruoxi was looking down at the reports on her tablet, walking calmly, not even glancing at Ye Chen in front of her.

"Sir, please step aside." The female secretary stepped forward, her tone icy.

Ye Chen didn't move.

He calmly surveyed his billionaire fiancée, but inwardly he was already activating the unique Qi Observation technique of Medicine King Valley.

Upon seeing this, a sudden chill ran through his eyes!

A dense, impenetrable aura of death clung to Jiang Ruoxi's brow, and a sinister energy within her body was slowly eroding her meridians.

This is chronic poisoning! Moreover, the person who poisoned him used extremely insidious methods, and the toxins were deeply hidden, making them undetectable by ordinary hospital equipment.

Master is right, the tribulation of life and death has arrived.

"Sir!" the female secretary said, her tone becoming more forceful, and the bodyguard stepped forward as well.

The surrounding employees turned to look, whispering among themselves, "Who is this guy? Daring to block President Jiang's way?"

"Every day there are women trying to chat up President Jiang, but they're overestimating themselves."

"Just wait, you'll be kicked out soon."

Jiang Ruoxi frowned, then finally looked up.

Her cool eyes looked at Ye Chen, a hint of displeasure flashing in them.

The young man in front of me looked quite young and was dressed casually; he didn't seem to be here to discuss cooperation.

To her surprise, the man's gaze towards her lacked the awe and fawning of others; it was clear, open, and undisturbed.

This was the first time a man had remained completely unfazed in her presence.

"Sir, I'm busy. My secretary is in contact with me for collaborations," Jiang Ruoxi said calmly, preparing to walk around the door.

Just as they were passing each other, Ye Chen suddenly lowered his voice, so only the two of them could hear: "President Jiang, have you been having nightmares every night lately, waking up with palpitations?"

"I always feel like someone is watching me from the shadows, and I get chills all over my body, but the hospital can't find anything wrong?"

Jiang Ruoxi's steps suddenly froze on the spot.

She turned her head abruptly, and for the first time, a look of astonishment appeared on her cold and beautiful face.

These symptoms were her biggest secret! Even her private doctor was unaware of them, and all her medical reports were normal. How could this strange man know everything about her?

"Who are you?" She suppressed her shock and stared at Ye Chen warily.

Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged. His gaze swept across the second-floor corridor, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips: "My name is Ye Chen. As for my identity, we'll talk about that later."

"Right now, survival is the priority."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed Jiang Ruoxi's waist and threw her behind a stone pillar.

"presumptuous!"

The bodyguard roared, but it was too late.

boom!

A muffled gunshot rang out, the bullet whizzed past Jiang Ruoxi's hair bun, struck the marble floor, and blasted a crater the size of a fist!

If Ye Chen hadn't tackled her in time, the bullet would have pierced her skull!

"what……"

The hall erupted in chaos, filled with screams and running noises.

Jiang Ruoxi was pinned down by Ye Chen, feeling his firm chest and strong arms, her heart pounding wildly.

Whether it was because she was still shaken or for some other reason, this was the first time she had been so close to a man.

"You...you get up first." Her voice trembled slightly.

Ye Chen quickly stood up, shielding her behind him, his gaze sweeping across the second floor like lightning. A gray figure in a maintenance worker's uniform was fleeing at high speed, disappearing into the stairwell in the blink of an eye.

"Protect President Jiang!" The bodyguards then drew their guns and formed a human wall.

Ye Chen did not chase after him.

The opponent is a professional assassin; if he misses, he will quickly escape, making him impossible to catch. His primary task now is to protect Jiang Ruoxi.

"The assassin escaped, but the dangers around you are far more than just this one. There might be something even more deadly in your office." He turned to look at the still-shaken Jiang Ruoxi.

Jiang Ruoxi's face turned deathly pale, and she gave Ye Chen a deep look.

This mysterious young man had just revealed her hidden illness and then saved her life at the last minute.

Now you're saying there's still danger in the office?

But she was also a powerful woman in charge of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate, and she quickly forced herself to calm down.

"Come to my office and tell me everything you know." She stared at Ye Chen with icy eyes.
