A master of both medicine and martial arts, he recruits a beautiful CEO to cultivate immortality tog

Ye Heng opened his eyes, his gaze clear and bright, without the grogginess of someone who had just woken up.

He got out of the car, his gaze sweeping over the dim lights and neatly arranged vehicles in the parking lot. His divine sense spread out quietly like flowing water, and he instantly sensed the life force in the room on the floor where Su Yingxue was located.

Entering the high-rise building, they arrived at Su Yingxue's room.

Ye Heng raised his hand and tapped the door three times with his fingers, neither too hard nor too soft.

"Who?"

"Yingxue, it's me."

A slight noise came from inside the door, and a moment later, the door was pulled open a crack.

Su Yingxue appeared behind the door. She had obviously just finished a work session, still wearing her beige business suit, her long hair neatly tied back, and a lingering focus on her face.

When her gaze fell on Ye Heng's face outside the door, her thoughts surged.

Why did he come? Did he come specifically to see her? The thought had barely crossed her mind when the secret joy deep within her hadn't even had a chance to spread.

I remembered the scene I witnessed at the Cloud Mall that day and I uncontrollably barged in.

Before a smile could even form, Su Yingxue's expression turned cold: "Come in."

Ye Heng stepped into the room.

This is a spacious executive suite. On the coffee table in the living room, there are some documents and an open laptop. The air is filled with the faint aroma of coffee.

Jin Xuan followed Ye Heng into the room, gently closed the door behind him, and then stood in the shadows by the door, trying to minimize his presence.

He kept his eyes down, seemingly focused on his own thoughts, but inwardly he was secretly suffering.

The atmosphere... is even more suffocating than facing a master of the Moon Eclipse.

The key issue is that he doesn't even know what happened between the two of them, and he doesn't know where to start in order to help Ye Heng.

Su Yingxue crossed her arms and said, "Mr. Ye, what brings you here? Have you finished dealing with matters in Jinling, or... do you have some new friends you need to look after, and just happened to drop by to see me?"

Ye Heng sensed the barb in her words.

This woman is always like this.

Even though I'm happy to see myself, I still want to say a few words to tease you.

He used this to test her place in his heart.

"I came to the Demon Sea because I have something to discuss."

"Of course, more importantly, I miss you."

He said it in a very flat tone, not even particularly affectionate, and just said it so bluntly.

These few simple words, however, seemed to possess a magical power, instantly piercing through the cold shell that Su Yingxue had painstakingly built.

Her arms loosened their embrace, her long eyelashes fluttered, and she looked away, a faint blush creeping up her ears.

Does he miss her? Does he... really miss her?

Or was he just saying it to appease her?

Su Yingxue's mind was in turmoil. The anger she had been building up was like a punctured balloon, deflating most of it at once, leaving only a lingering sense of helplessness.

Jin Xuan heard everything clearly and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly lowered his head even further, wishing he could become invisible at that moment.

Senior Ye's words... were really direct. But it seems to have worked quite well?

Ye Heng took in Su Yingxue's subtle reactions, then changed the subject, no longer wanting to provoke a conflict, and gestured to Jin Xuan by the door.

"This is Jin Xuan," Ye Heng introduced.

"The man I found is quite skilled. The Demon Sea hasn't been peaceful lately, and I can't be by your side every moment. With him protecting you from the shadows, I can feel more at ease."

Su Yingxue's attention was then drawn to the man who had been standing silently in the shadows.

She looked him over; he was about forty years old, with a square face, a serious expression, and an upright posture. Even though he tried his best to conceal it, she could still sense a calm and composed aura that was different from that of an ordinary bodyguard.

Especially his eyes, which seemed calm, but when he occasionally looked up at people, they were as sharp as a hawk, carrying a kind of sharpness that had been tempered by blood and fire.

Jin Xuan noticed Su Yingxue's scrutiny, took half a step forward, bowed slightly, his attitude respectful yet neither servile nor arrogant:

"Ms. Su, hello. I will be responsible for your safety from now on. I will do my best not to disturb your normal work and life."

Su Yingxue pondered for a moment.

She had witnessed Ye Heng's abilities firsthand; he could even cure her grandfather's chronic illness with miraculous healing. The person he found must be extraordinary.

Although Ye Heng didn't know Jin Xuan's exact background, he said that Jin Xuan was "quite skilled," so he must be a master.

Although the recent cooperation negotiations with Mo Hai went smoothly, she was still somewhat wary of herself in this unfamiliar place. Having a reliable bodyguard, especially one arranged by Ye Heng, gave her a greater sense of security, both professionally and personally.

But... she couldn't help but glance at Ye Heng again.

Did he specifically hire a bodyguard because the Demon Sea was truly "not peaceful," or... because he had other matters to attend to, or perhaps even to meet that woman in the red dress, and therefore couldn't be by her side "all the time"?

The thought flashed through her mind, casting a shadow over Su Yingxue's slightly calmed mood once again.

But reason told her that now was not the time to dwell on this. Ye Heng's arrangement was reasonable, and she had no reason to refuse.

Su Yingxue finally nodded, accepting Jin Xuan's existence.

"Then... I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Jin."

After settling Jin Xuan in, Ye Heng casually inquired about Su Yingxue's work:

"How are the cooperation negotiations going?"

The topic was shifted just right, and Su Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief. She walked to the single sofa opposite him and sat down, subconsciously straightening her back and regaining the capable demeanor of a female CEO.

"The shipping contract was signed yesterday, and the first batch of raw materials will be shipped next week."

"However, I met with Lin Ruofei this morning, but the endorsement deal... didn't go through."

"Lin Ruofei?" Ye Heng's reaction to the name was indifferent.

He knew very little about the entertainment industry, but the name did seem familiar recently.

"Yeah, the hottest star right now is having a concert in the Magic Sea."

"We originally wanted her to be the spokesperson for our new skincare line, as her image and temperament were a perfect match. However, she declined, saying that she doesn't need the money and only accepts collaborations that she is truly interested in."

She spoke casually, but Ye Heng could hear a hint of resentment in her words.

Su Yingxue is a proud person and rarely makes mistakes in business, especially in collaborations where she personally takes charge.

"Concert..." Ye Heng's heart skipped a beat. This word, along with the word "celebration" that appeared repeatedly in Kangbo's intelligence, and the speculation that Eclipse Moon might be planning a large-scale public event, instantly connected with him.

The timing, location, and influence all match up.

With tens of thousands of people present and a global live broadcast, if Eclipse Moon really wanted to create a world-shaking "gift" in the Demon Sea, what stage could be more perfect than this?

He remained expressionless, even casually commenting on Su Yingxue's words, "You have good taste."

It seemed as if they were merely commenting on Lin Ruofei's business choices.

However, his divine sense had already quietly separated an extremely subtle strand, like an invisible thread, and accurately transmitted it to Jin Xuan, who had been standing quietly by the door.

This is an extremely sophisticated method of transmitting sound into secrecy; only a specific recipient can perceive its content, and the fluctuations are almost nonexistent.

"Golden Profound".

"Keep an eye on Lin Ruofei's concert at the Xinghai Sports Center. It might be in three days. Shiyue's target is very likely there. Protect Yingxue, and at the same time, keep an eye out for any unusual developments related to the concert and report them to me immediately. Be careful yourself too; the other side may have more than just their visible forces."

Jin Xuan's body trembled, but he did not raise his head or make any obvious reaction. He simply nodded his chin very slightly.

"Yes, Senior Ye." He silently replied in his heart, a heavy pressure suddenly pressing down on his shoulders.

Protecting Su Yingxue is already difficult enough, but now they also have to divert their attention to monitor a concert with tens of thousands of people that could become a target of a terrorist attack? Moreover, judging from Senior Ye's words, the opponent's hidden strength may be beyond their expectations.

But he had no choice but to raise his vigilance to the highest level.

Ye Heng's telepathic transmission was completed in an instant, and Su Yingxue was completely unaware of it.

"If the deal didn't go through, it didn't go through. It's just a spokesperson; we can just replace her. If your product is truly good, it can sell without a celebrity."

"You're right." Su Yingxue put down her coffee cup, her eyes regaining their firmness and sharpness.

"I will have the marketing department re-evaluate the alternatives. The Snow Extract series relies on solid ingredients and effects, not celebrity endorsements."
