Actually, Su Chen originally wanted to introduce his old ghost of a master to the women in the villa. Although he was quite casual with the old ghost, the fact is that this person was one of his most important elders!

Of course, now besides that old ghost, there's also his aunt, Su Jin!

However, he thought that bringing all his women seemed a bit too ridiculous!

After all, bringing a group of women up to the Kunlun Mountains would look quite unreliable!

He thought it over and decided it would be better to wait until the old man was willing to come to Yandu and meet everyone.

Lin Ruoxue originally wanted to go see the old man, but with so many women, going alone didn't seem right, as it would make her look too special, so she decided against it!

In the afternoon, Su Chen flew to the small town at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains!

After parking the plane in an open space, the two got off, and Su Chen held the little girl's hand as they walked towards the foot of the mountain.

Every time Su Chen came here, he always felt a sense of familiarity, even a sense of home, given he had lived here for many years!

As the two reached the foot of the mountain, the big yellow dog ran down just like before!

"Big Yellow!"

Xiao Xun saw it and immediately ran over!

"Big Yellow, did you miss me?"

Xiao Xun squatted down, petting its fur as she spoke.

Big Yellow "woof woofed" a few times in response!

"Let's go!"

Su Chen walked up with a smile, and the big yellow dog circled around his feet!

Su Chen didn't believe it missed him, rather, knowing it, he figured it missed his cooking more!

It was such a foodie!

"Okay, I'll make you something delicious tonight!"

Su Chen pouted as he spoke.

The big yellow dog seemed to understand him, barking excitedly!

Soon, Su Chen led Xiao Xun up the mountain, with Big Yellow leading the way!

It wasn't long before they arrived at the familiar wooden cabin. He pushed open the gate made of fencing, and the old ghost came out!

"Master!"

Xiao Xun happily ran over to Gongsun Liang and held his arm as she shouted.

"Hmm, you've grown a little taller."

Gongsun Liang nodded with a gentle gaze and said:

"Looks like you and that little rascal are living well together."

"Yes, Su Brother has many pretty sisters at home. They treat me well, buying me food and beautiful clothes!"

Xiao Xun nodded without much thought.

Gongsun Liang cast a meaningful glance at Su Chen upon hearing this. He wasn't surprised at his disciple's ability to attract many women!

Seeing Gongsun Liang's playful gaze, Su Chen smiled awkwardly, somewhat embarrassed!

Soon, Su Chen started preparing dinner, which was inevitable!

As Su Chen made dinner, Xiao Xun chatted with Gongsun Liang, while the big yellow dog circled Su Chen in the kitchen, looking a bit impatient!

"You little foodie!"

Su Chen glanced at the big yellow dog and said irritably.

After more than two hours, he finished preparing a lavish dinner!

By then, Gongsun Liang and Xiao Xun had also come in, ready to eat. Su Chen had already set aside a hearty bowl just for Big Yellow, who was happily eating on the side!

Gongsun Liang sat down, casually picked up some food, took a bite, and nodded slightly.

Over half an hour later, the three of them finished eating, and Xiao Xun obediently tidied up the dishes!

When she and Gongsun Liang lived here, she was usually the one to clean up, so it was a habit for her.

"Let's go for a walk."

Gongsun Liang suggested to Su Chen.

Su Chen stood up and went out with Gongsun Liang upon hearing this.

"This meal was slightly better than the last few, but there's still room for improvement."

Not long after leaving the small yard, Gongsun Liang commented casually.

"I'll keep improving."

Su Chen smiled and replied.

He knew what the problem was; things had improved because the Ximen Clan issue was finally resolved, and his parents' revenge had been avenged!

However, one matter still lay heavily on his heart, and that was his own lineage!

Gongsun Liang seemed to sense something, casually saying,

"It seems your identity mystery still troubles you!"

"To say it doesn't would be self-deception."

Su Chen laughed:

"But I have no clues at all, so there's no point in worrying — I'll just take it one step at a time."

"That works too."

Gongsun Liang nodded.

"By the way, old ghost, have you ever heard of the Ruin Realm?"

Su Chen suddenly asked.

"Ruin Realm?"

Gongsun Liang frowned slightly upon hearing this:

"What kind of place is that?"

Su Chen expected Gongsun Liang might know something about it, so he asked casually, only to find that Gongsun Liang had never heard of it either.

Then again, he thought, that made sense — last time, when he showed him the token, he didn't recognize that either!

At this point, Su Chen decided to tell him what he'd heard about the Ruin Realm from Zhou Ying!

Gongsun Liang seemed a bit surprised upon hearing this, clearly not expecting such a mysterious place to exist!

But the surprise quickly faded, and he returned to his usual demeanor, as if uninterested.

"If such a place exists, it might be worth going to see for yourself."

Gongsun Liang said casually.

"That's what I'm thinking too. I'll go once my strength has increased a bit more."

Su Chen nodded in agreement, then looked at Gongsun Liang intently.

"What's that look for, you little rascal?"

Gongsun Liang felt uneasy under Su Chen's gaze!

Honestly, this slick little rascal would often have too many sneaky ideas, so even Gongsun Liang had to stay wary!

"Old ghost, I've always wanted to know, just how powerful are you?"

Su Chen asked curiously:

"Could you tell me the truth today?"

"Sure."

Gongsun Liang nodded upon hearing this.

This excited Su Chen, who quickly said:

"So tell me!"

"Just a little bit stronger than you!"

Gongsun Liang replied calmly.

Hearing this nearly made Su Chen cough up blood!

"This is your idea of the truth?"

Su Chen said through gritted teeth.

"Yep, just a little bit stronger than you!"

Gongsun Liang replied nonchalantly.

"Old ghost, do you even know how strong I am now?"

Su Chen asked, annoyed.

"No clue."

Gongsun Liang shook his head naturally, not finding it odd at all.

But Su Chen, hearing this, felt at a loss for words...
