Chapter 1002 The Might of the Kyoto Su Family
At half-past five the next morning, Chen Xuan finally finished refining the Detoxification Pill.
"Is this the Detoxification Pill?"
Wang Qiankun pinched his nose, looking at the pill in front of him. He couldn't help but look at Chen Xuan with suspicion.
The pill had an extremely pungent odor. Could this really be a Detoxification Pill?
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it poison!
Chen Xuan chuckled and nodded faintly, "This is indeed a Detoxification Pill."
He had added several medicinal herbs with special scents to the ingredients, which was why the resulting pill was so acrid.
Seeing Wang Qiankun's disgusted expression, Chen Xuan felt as if he were a child being forced to take medicine by an adult.
"Al... alright!"
Wang Qiankun took a deep breath and swallowed the Detoxification Pill in one gulp. The moment it entered his mouth, he gagged several times but managed to endure it and swallow the pill.
The next moment, Wang Qiankun's expression changed. He looked at Chen Xuan and asked, "Chen Xuan, are you sure this is a Detoxification Pill and not a laxative?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Qiankun clutched his stomach and covered his rear with one hand. His insides churned as if ready to erupt.
He couldn't spare another word and turned to rush into the bathroom!
However, before he could even reach the bathroom, it was already too late...
He stood at the doorway, dumbfounded, looking at Chen Xuan with a crestfallen expression.
At that moment, Wang Qiankun only wanted to cry, but he couldn't. He felt incredibly wronged.
The churning sensation finally subsided. Wang Qiankun, holding his stomach, stood before Chen Xuan. "Chen Xuan, are you really sure this isn't a laxative?"
Chen Xuan was amused. "Why don't you feel it for yourself and you'll know..."
Wang Qiankun, still skeptical, closed his eyes and slowly circulated his internal energy. After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, his face filled with joy and excitement as he looked at Chen Xuan...
It worked!
The poison was truly gone!
He could feel his internal energy flowing smoothly now, without any obstruction!
God, was this real?
He suddenly spread his arms, intending to embrace Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan seemed to have anticipated this and quickly took a step back, dodging Wang Qiankun's "attack." He said with a hint of disgust, "Go, go, go. If Yunxi sees this, I won't be able to explain myself..."
Wang Qiankun laughed heartily, unfazed. He cupped his fists towards Chen Xuan and said, "Chen Xuan, thank you!"
"Why be so formal with me!"
Chen Xuan smiled. "The journey is long, and I don't know when we'll meet again. You must help me kill more Japanese pirates!"
"Alright, leave it to me!"
Wang Qiankun nodded with a smile.
He couldn't help but sigh at the swiftness of their parting.
After the car was ready, Chen Xuan personally escorted Wang Qiankun to the exit. Before getting into the car, Wang Qiankun looked at Chen Xuan and couldn't help but remind him, "Chen Xuan, while I'm away, you'd better be careful..."
"Oh? You mean your current conscription has the Kyoto Su family pulling the strings?"
Chen Xuan smiled faintly.
Wang Qiankun's reminder was not unfounded. With Wang Qiankun present, many of the Kyoto Su family's tactics would be ineffective. Therefore, the first thing the Kyoto Su family would do was to lure the tiger away from its mountain, making Wang Qiankun leave Jiangnan Province.
As Wang Qiankun was about to get into the car, Chen Xuan stopped him.
"Is there something else?" Wang Qiankun turned to look at Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan took out another pill.
Looking at the pill, Wang Qiankun instinctively took a step back, a hint of apprehension in his eyes. "I'm all better now, I really don't need it..."
Chen Xuan smiled. "This is a High-Grade Barrier-Breaking Pill, which can be used to break through cultivation realms. For Martial Venerables, the effect of such a pill is minimal, but it still has some utility. Consider it a gift."
"This good? Then I accept this gift!"
Wang Qiankun smiled and casually pocketed the pill without thinking much of it.
He didn't pay much attention to the pill at the time, but he was unaware that this very pill would later save his life!
Afterward, Wang Qiankun got into the car. The engine roared to life, and the vehicle slowly drove away from the Su family villa. kanδん
Watching the car's taillights disappear into the distance, Chen Xuan let out a long sigh.
Only when the car's taillights vanished from his sight did Chen Xuan slowly walk back towards the villa.
As soon as he entered the villa, he found Su Qian sitting on the sofa with a worried expression, as if he had been waiting for Chen Xuan.
"Uncle Su, why aren't you sleeping?"
Chen Xuan frowned and asked.
It was not yet six in the morning. Why was Su Qian up so early?
Su Qian didn't say much. He patted the sofa beside him, signaling Chen Xuan to sit down. Chen Xuan walked over and sat directly.
"Chen Xuan, I just received a call from the Imperial Observatory. There's an urgent mission, and I need to return immediately."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan was taken aback and looked sharply at Su Qian. "Uncle Su, you're leaving too?"
"Yes!"
Su Qian nodded.
Chen Xuan's expression changed, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "Could it be that the Kyoto Su family is behind all of this?" wΑp.kanshu伍.net
He couldn't help but gasp.
Su Qian's departure, he could understand the Kyoto Su family's influence. But Wang Qiankun's departure as well, didn't that mean the Kyoto Su family could even influence things with the Japanese side?
The Kyoto Su family was perhaps too powerful!
Su Qian didn't confirm or deny, but nodded.
"The Kyoto Su family is far more powerful than you imagine. Their influence permeates all walks of life, the military, politics, and business. In any sector, there are prominent figures who are Su family members or those affiliated with the Kyoto Su family."
"This is also true for the Imperial Observatory. However, the Imperial Observatory is a special case, not involved in worldly disputes. But to think that the Imperial Observatory has now taken action, it shows how much effort the Kyoto Su family has put forth this time."
Clearly, Su Qian also believed this was a chain reaction triggered by Su Ning's death.
Chen Xuan nodded, not saying much.
Admittedly, the strength of the Kyoto Su family exceeded Chen Xuan's imagination.
"Are you leaving now?" Chen Xuan asked.
"No, I'll wait for two more days. I've already found an excuse to stall them."
Currently, Chen Xuan had just killed Su Ning. The Kyoto Su family was undoubtedly filled with rage, and their revenge would surely be like a fiery onslaught. At this critical juncture, he absolutely could not leave, even if it meant defying orders and facing punishment.
He had to find a way to ensure Chen Xuan's safety!
"Thank you, Uncle Su!"
Although Su Qian hadn't said it, Chen Xuan knew the immense pressure Su Qian was enduring.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, the Kyoto Su family won't dare to do anything to you!" Su Qian said calmly.
Chen Xuan nodded, then his gaze shifted and landed on Su Qian. After observing him for a moment, he asked, "Uncle Su, how come your lifespan is even longer than before?"
Su Qian smiled and said casually, "I found a medicinal herb in the forbidden zone that increases lifespan, but it's incredibly rare..."
As he said this, Su Qian revealed a hint of worry.
The scarcity of the herb meant that his lifespan would be difficult to replenish!
