Chapter 1003 Fighting on Behalf of Mr. Chen!
"So that's how it is."
Chen Xuan had been to the forbidden zone once and knew there were good things inside. He smiled and said, "Uncle Su, I have a lot of medicinal herbs that increase lifespan. I'll get them for you."
After speaking, Chen Xuan went upstairs.
Su Qian shook his head. How many could Chen Xuan possibly have?
One plant?
Two plants?
What use would they be?
At this moment, Chen Xuan brought out all the medicinal herbs he had been hiding.
There were dozens of them!
Looking at this large pile of medicinal herbs, Su Qian was completely stunned.
It was hard to find even one plant of this kind of lifespan-increasing medicinal herb.
Yet Chen Xuan had so many. How had he managed to get them?
He looked at Chen Xuan with a strange expression and suddenly realized that ever since he returned, Chen Xuan had constantly surprised him!
Chen Xuan took a breath and said, "In the forbidden zone of Jiangzhou, I encountered a strange person called the Stone Coffin. He gave these to me..."
As he spoke, he stared intently at Su Qian, as if trying to discern something from his face.
Upon hearing this, Su Qian seemed to instantly understand why Chen Xuan had so many medicinal herbs, and the surprise in his eyes disappeared, as if it were only natural. "So that's what happened."
It seemed everything was as it should be.
Of course it was only natural. A father giving things to his son, what else could it be?
Chen Xuan seemed to have caught this expression and, in a moment of realization, withdrew his gaze. He said, "Uncle Su, I'll give all these medicinal herbs to you. You won't have to worry about the curse for a while."
"Thank you, Chen Xuan!" Su Qian laughed heartily.
He greatly admired Chen Xuan as his son-in-law, both his character and his achievements far exceeding his imagination.
Now, it truly seemed that he had hitched himself to a rising star.
Turning and returning to his room, Chen Xuan, who had been busy all night, did not get any sleep. Instead, he stood on the balcony, gazing into the distance.
The balcony window was open, and the cold wind blew on Chen Xuan's face.
His expression was extremely complex.
It seemed Su Qian also knew his father was the Stone Coffin...
...
In the morning, as drowsiness struck, Chen Xuan managed to sleep for a bit. In just over ten minutes, however, it dispelled his previous fatigue.
Now, Chen Xuan was relying less and less on sleep to relieve his exhaustion. This was perhaps another benefit of being a powerful expert.
Just after finishing breakfast, a servant ran in and said urgently, "Young Master, Alliance Leader Yin is here. He says he wants to see you."
"Why is he here so early in the morning?"
Su Yunxi, who was nearby, frowned.
Chen Xuan smiled, seemingly knowing Yin Tianlu's intentions, and waved. "Let him in."
The servant then turned and left.
Su Yunxi looked at Chen Xuan and asked, "Chen Xuan, why is Alliance Leader Yin here? Is there something else going on?"
"Don't you remember? I promised Alliance Leader Yin that I would help him deal with the experts from Chuan Province," Chen Xuan said indifferently.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot about that."
Su Yunxi patted her smooth forehead. "I've been too busy these days, my brain is not working properly."
A moment later, Yin Tianlu was led in by a servant.
"Mr. Chen!"
Yin Tianlu greeted him with a smile.
"Sit," Chen Xuan gestured.
Yin Tianlu sat down, and the servant quickly brought him tea and water.
"Alliance Leader Yin, is there something you need?" Chen Xuan asked knowingly.
Yin Tianlu took a breath and said worriedly, "Mr. Chen, you promised me that once Su Ning's matter was settled, you would help me deal with the experts from Chuan Province. You're not going back on your word, are you?"
Chen Xuan smiled. "Why would I go back on my word for such a small matter?"
Yin Tianlu was overjoyed.
He had already witnessed Chen Xuan's strength. With Chen Xuan taking action, success was a certainty.
"Without further ado, let's set off immediately!"
"Alright!"
Thus, Chen Xuan and Yin Tianlu walked towards the outside.
As they reached the villa, they saw many cars parked outside. Master Bai and others alighted from the cars.
They looked at Chen Xuan respectfully and said in unison, "Mr. Chen!"
Their voices were loud, like thunder!
"Why are you all here?"
Chen Xuan looked at everyone and asked with a frown.
Yang Chaotian spoke first. "Mr. Chen, we heard you were going to fight the experts from Chuan Province. We are prepared to fight on your behalf!"
Old Master Bai also chimed in, saying immediately, "Mr. Chen, that expert from Chuan Province is just a Grandmaster of Inner Strength of the first grade. It should be enough for us few families to handle it. How can such a small matter require you to act personally?"
"That's right, that's right, Mr. Chen, your status is noble. How can those insignificant pests make you act?"
Old Ghost Murong also said with a smile.
Others echoed their sentiments, all speaking at once, eager to fight on Chen Xuan's behalf.
So, the next problem arose: who would fight on Chen Xuan's behalf?
After all, there was only one opponent.
This was also a sly plan by the few families.
Fighting on Chen Xuan's behalf was a good opportunity to gain favor in front of Chen Xuan. After they received the news, they rushed over, all vying for this coveted spot.
It was more precious than a spot in a prestigious school for children.
Yang Chaotian surveyed everyone and said first, "Gentlemen, no matter what, the challenge from the Chuan Province expert to Mr. Chen is, after all, Mr. Chen's affair. How can outsiders like you get involved? My participation is enough!"
His words were clear: he was Chen Xuan's subordinate and should naturally be the one to fight.
"I think that's not appropriate! Although the Xuanji Hall is under Mr. Chen's command, Xuanji Hall's strength is too weak. Hall Master Yang is only a Grandmaster of Inner Strength of the second grade, barely overpowering the opponent by a minor realm. It's really not stable."
Master Bai stepped forward and said.
Others also chimed in, "What Master Bai said makes sense!"
In any case, they did not want Xuanji Hall to steal the limelight.
Hearing this, Yang Chaotian's face turned red, and he gritted his teeth. Why couldn't his realm improve further?
He hated it!
Master Bai glanced at Chen Xuan and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, we are old acquaintances. My Bai family's Bai Wushen is now a Grandmaster of Inner Strength of the third grade. It would be better to entrust it to my Bai family's Bai Wushen!"
Before Chen Xuan could even open his mouth, the Gao family objected. Gao Guoqing said with a cold laugh, "My Gao family also has a Grandmaster of Inner Strength of the third grade. Why do we not have the qualifications?"
Master Bai was taken aback.
In terms of strength, the Gao family also had a Grandmaster of Inner Strength of the third grade.
He had a sudden inspiration and said triumphantly, "In terms of strength, Young Master Gao, do you think you are stronger than my family's Bai Wushen?"
Gao Guoqing was immediately rendered speechless.
He was indeed inferior to Bai Wushen, an established Grandmaster of Inner Strength.
"Do any of you have any objections?"
Master Bai surveyed everyone, a smug look in his eyes.
If he could step up for Chen Xuan, he could curry favor with Chen Xuan. If any good things happened later, Chen Xuan would definitely think of them first.
But at this moment, Old Ghost Murong said with a cold laugh, "Do you want to compare whose fists are more powerful?"
Seeing Old Ghost Murong, Master Bai's face turned green.
Everyone knew that the Murong family's Old Ghost Murong had become a Grandmaster of Inner Strength of the fourth grade, which made the other families extremely envious.
He had originally wanted to use Bai Wushen's strength to suppress everyone and seize this opportunity, but he had forgotten that there was also Old Ghost Murong, a Grandmaster of Inner Strength of the fourth grade, waiting here.
It was a miscalculation!
Seeing Master Bai's embarrassment, others gloated.
