Chapter 43: Chapter 43
**[My Senior Brother is Super Strong] Chapter 43**
Lu Chen was lying on the hammock, leisurely looking at the Tianji cards.
It had been almost a month since Xiao Ye entered the sword cave.
Lu Chen had visited Xiao Ye several times and knew that she was in good condition, so he didn't bother to keep staring anymore.
He resumed his old life again.
Continuing to lie flat.
After practicing the Shocking God Technique and Taiyan Body Refining Technique in the Time Room last time, he had gone in to practice again the night before.
It still costs 10,000 low-grade spirit stones for six months.
Mastering the Shocking God Technique and Taiyan Body Refining Technique was no easy feat.
It had taken him a year to grasp the two techniques, but he had only achieved a small level of success; he was far from being proficient or achieving great mastery.
Lu Chen was not in a hurry and took his time.
Years of cultivating his mind and character had made his mentality more mature and calm, allowing him to remain patient about this kind of thing.
Because rushing was pointless, he decided to take his time.
Lu Chen stretched and sighed.
"However, there are just over 10,000 spirit stones left, and next time, it will only be enough for six months."
"In six months, I wonder if I'll be able to reach a higher level."
"Oh, you killed someone, you bastard senior brother."
"Forget it; I'll wait a while before thinking of ways to get more spirit stones."
As Lu Chen pondered how to acquire more spirit stones, Fang Xiao arrived.
The food delivery had come.
Fang Xiao entered with a food box, which made Lu Chen feel a bit out of sorts.
"Boss Fang, why are you here?" he asked.
Fang Xiao smiled and replied, "I've brought takeout for you, Mr. Lu."
Lu Chen shook his head and sighed, "A beautiful woman comes here with a food box, almost as if she's here to have a tryst with her lover."
"Where's Junior Brother Wang? Is there no one else at your restaurant?"
"It's not fair to make the bosses go out to run the business while deducting their wages."
Fang Xiao couldn't help but blush.
Is this considered teasing her?
Fang Xiao complained to herself.
Her smile remained unchanged, still sweet, as she said, "Isn't this Mr. Lu? You haven't visited the restaurant in a while, have you?"
"I'm worried that the food in the restaurant isn't to your taste, sir. As the boss, I felt the need to come in person."
"Let me hear your opinion, Mr. Lu."
Fang Xiao's words were half true and half false.
The main reason for her visit was to continue building a relationship with Lu Chen.
As she mentioned, Lu Chen hadn't visited the restaurant for over a month.
Having witnessed Lu Chen's strength, she intended to befriend him.
Today, while learning that Lu Chen had ordered from her restaurant, she took it as an opportunity to deliver the takeout personally.
Once they became better acquainted, and if they met a few times, their relationship would naturally become closer than if they had never met.
Lu Chen responded, "It's very good. Lao Hu's craftsmanship is impressive."
After hearing Lu Chen's words, Fang Xiao secretly decided in her heart to process Hu Bing's payment when she returned.
Then, silence fell between the two.
Lu Chen seemed to pretend Fang Xiao didn't exist, leisurely eating while looking at the Tianji cards.
Fang Xiao immediately felt embarrassed.
After all, she considered herself a beauty, yet he ignored her like this?
Fang Xiao was at a loss for words when it came to describing Lu Chen.
She believed she might not be the top beauty, but she wasn't bad, either.
The so-called handsome men usually flocked to her like flies.
But in front of Lu Chen, Fang Xiao doubted her beauty for the first time.
Normal people shouldn't behave this way.
Even if he was being perfunctory, he wouldn't leave her like this, right?
She couldn't believe he would ignore her entirely.
Being sidelined by Lu Chen like this, Fang Xiao felt a sense of dissatisfaction.
She gritted her teeth.
Hmph, she wouldn't give up that easily.
Fang Xiao decided to stay and see what Lu Chen would do next.
However, another half-hour passed, and Lu Chen remained the same, treating Fang Xiao like air.
Fang Xiao felt defeated, helpless, and depressed.
Did this guy even qualify as a man?
Frustrated, Fang Xiao finally asked, "Mr. Lu, do you know where Sister Xiao Ye is?"
"Huh?"
Lu Chen pretended to be surprised. "Boss, haven't you left yet?"
Then he reminded her, "I gave you the spirit stones; don't pretend to forget."
Fang Xiao felt the urge to hit someone.
Was she that kind of person?
What was he thinking?
Fang Xiao gritted her teeth and replied, "I remember; I haven't forgotten."
Lu Chen added, "I don't have any tips to give, so don't even think about it."
"Junior Brother Wang has never asked me for a tip."
Fang Xiao sputtered, "Who asked you for a tip?"
Did she look like someone in need of money?
No matter how short on cash she might be, she wouldn't ask him for a tip like this.
Continuing to gnash her teeth, Fang Xiao said, "I just want to know where Sister Xiao Ye has been. I haven't seen her for a few days."
Lu Chen's eyes returned to the Tianji card. "Oh, she went to practice."
"As a cultivator, of course, she focuses on cultivation. How could she have time to play every day?"
Fang Xiao looked at Lu Chen, silently complaining.
But she knew that he didn't practice every day. How dare he say this?
Then silence fell again.
Fang Xiao knew she had to continue the conversation.
She said, "I'm looking for Sister Xiao Ye because I want to tell her that some of the guys who bullied her in the restaurant were punished not long ago."
"I wonder if Mr. Lu has heard about it?"
Fang Xiao glanced at Lu Chen meaningfully.
Lu Chen's eyes shifted back to Fang Xiao. "Oh? Is that so?"
"I haven't heard anything."
Fang Xiao replied, "It was all posted on the Tianji card by the Tianji master. Didn't Mr. Lu see it?"
"The people who bullied Sister Xiao Ye were all stripped of their clothes overnight, and their belongings were looted."
Fang Xiao said with a smile.
"The most miserable person was Boss Tang of the Tang Family Trading Company. All the profits of the trading company for a month were robbed."
"It's said he was called back to the Tang family to receive family punishment."
When she had seen it before, she remembered that these people had their clothes stripped and their belongings taken, recalling the incident involving Zhang Zheng that night.
She knew from Wang Yao that these individuals had come to her restaurant and had teased Xiao Ye to some extent.
So she suspected that Lu Chen had been behind it.
What a coincidence!
Lu Chen's expression remained unchanged as he replied, "It seems that evil people will indeed be punished. God is fair."
Fang Xiao chimed in, "Cultivators often go against heaven. Mr. Lu is a cultivator, so you believe in God, right?"
Lu Chen replied seriously, "Of course; I hope that God will be gentler during future lightning strikes."
