Chapter 587 Not for Sale, Only a Gift
"Scram!"
Chen Xuan spat out a single word at Tang Chen, coldly.
"You little brat, we'll settle this account another day!"
Tang Chen gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and led his men away.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Chen Xuan's voice rang out again.
"What do you want? This is a society governed by law..." Tang Chen froze, stopping in his tracks, worried Chen Xuan would attack him.
"You damaged the Huo family's ancestral shrine. Pay compensation!"
"How much?"
Tang Chen hesitated for a long time, still wary of Chen Xuan's skills, and finally asked.
"Ten million," Chen Xuan said.
"Ten million? This land is probably only worth ten million!" Tang Chen said angrily.
In his opinion, Chen Xuan was clearly asking for the moon and treating him like a fool.
As soon as the words left his mouth, he saw Chen Xuan take out another silver needle. The needle glinted with a cold light, and his hairs stood on end. He immediately swallowed his previous words.
"Here's ten million, the password is six eights!"
Tang Chen took out a bank card from his pocket, threw it to Chen Xuan, and ran off.
Seeing this, Tang Chen's subordinates also turned and fled, abandoning the excavators. This meant that over a dozen excavators were left behind for the Huo family.
All the Huo family members looked at Chen Xuan with curiosity.
How did this young man manage it?
Huo Zhengfeng, his face filled with joy, came before Chen Xuan and said respectfully, "Thank you, Mr. Chen! You saved my Huo family!"
As he spoke, he was about to kneel before Chen Xuan.
"Uncle Huo, you're too kind. You're my uncle, I can't accept such a grand gesture." Chen Xuan quickly stopped Huo Zhengfeng.
Given Chen Xuan's relationship with Huo Yuhao, Chen Xuan could not let Huo Zhengfeng kneel to him.
Seeing the damaged ancestral shrine, the Huo family members still felt very upset. So Huo Zhengfeng quickly ordered people to rebuild the Huo family ancestral home.
At this moment, Chen Xuan glanced around the surroundings and couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Huo, if you don't mind me asking, is the Huo family ancestral home for sale?"
This was the location of the Huo family shrine. The ancestors of the Huo family were buried underground. Chen Xuan knew that his question was indeed a bit awkward.
Huo Zhengfeng stared at Chen Xuan for a few seconds, his expression changing slightly.
If not for Chen Xuan helping them so much just now, Huo Zhengfeng would have slapped him.
"Mr. Chen, what do you mean by this?" Huo Zhengfeng asked, his face stern.
Huo Yuhao also frowned.
Chen Xuan hadn't seemed to care about this land before.
Chen Xuan smiled, "To be honest, I have some use for this land."
Huo Zhengfeng took a breath and said seriously, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen. I know you've helped my family immensely, but this is the location of our Huo family's ancestral shrine, and it's truly difficult to sell."
Chen Xuan sighed. He could understand Huo Zhengfeng's feelings.
However, this piece of land was too suitable for building a dragon脉, and there were no alternative mountain peaks.
"Uncle Huo, would you consider it again?"
Although Huo Yuhao kept winking at Chen Xuan, signaling that he would speak up for Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan still said it.
Huo Zhengfeng's face darkened, and he said decisively, "Mr. Chen, our Huo family has encountered such a big disturbance, and we are worried about being unable to provide proper hospitality. If you have nothing else, I'll have Yuhao escort you back."
After speaking, Huo Zhengfeng ignored Chen Xuan.
It was clear that in Huo Zhengfeng's mind, Chen Xuan had crossed a line and even had ulterior motives. Chen Xuan's help to the Huo family might have been for this land where the Huo family shrine was located.
But Huo Zhengfeng knew that there was a reason why this land could not be sold. Besides the fact that the Huo family shrine was built on it, there was another important reason: the Huo family itself was guarding this land!
"Mr. Chen, I'll see you out!"
Huo Yuhao winked and whispered to Chen Xuan, "Mr. Chen, don't worry. I'll talk to my dad later... maybe he'll change his mind."
Huo Yuhao knew very well that if it weren't for Chen Xuan, this land would have fallen into Tang Chen's hands at the auction. The reason Chen Xuan only brought up buying the land now might be due to certain matters.
"Then let's leave it at that for now."
Chen Xuan nodded helplessly, preparing to leave.
Just as Chen Xuan turned to leave, a voice suddenly rang out, "Wait! Our Huo family is not selling this land, only giving it as a gift!"
Elder Huo, leaning on his cane, walked out quickly.
What?
Everyone fell silent, all surprised by Elder Huo.
The Huo family shrine land, not for sale, only a gift?
This wasn't cheap cabbage!
Huo Zhengfeng couldn't help but say, "Dad, are you losing your mind?"
Slap!
Before he could finish speaking, a slap landed directly on Huo Zhengfeng's face.
Huo Zhengfeng was stunned. Being slapped in front of so many family members, his old face turned red. "Dad, why are you hitting me?"
"Shut up! How dare you be disrespectful to Mr. Chen! Apologize to Mr. Chen!" Elder Huo said angrily at Huo Zhengfeng.
"I'm sorry..."
Huo Zhengfeng had been scared by his father since he was a child. Seeing this situation, he could only comply, though he still felt unconvinced.
Chen Xuan was also stunned, his face full of doubt. He looked at Elder Su, "This..."
"Mr. Chen, if I'm not mistaken, your father is Grandmaster Chen Jianhua, isn't he?"
Just as Chen Xuan was about to speak, Elder Huo said excitedly to Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan blurted out, "That's right, Chen Jianhua is my father!"
"Excellent!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Huo Zhengfeng's eyes widened. He looked at Chen Xuan with surprise, and then his expression became very excited. He said to Elder Huo, "Dad, he's Grandmaster Chen's son! Our Huo family has finally waited!"
Elder Huo's eyes welled up with tears, "We've waited! We've finally waited! All the hardships of these past few years were not in vain!"
The father and son hugged each other, crying.
Others looked at each other, confused.
Chen Xuan was also surprised. Could it be that the Huo family had some connection with his father, Chen Jianhua?
"Mr. Chen, I was wrong just now! From today onwards, this land is yours. I'll sign the agreement right away." Huo Zhengfeng wiped his tears, his eyes red, and grabbed Chen Xuan's hand.
Just now, when he heard Chen Xuan asking for this land, Huo Zhengfeng almost slapped Chen Xuan twice. Now he was as enthusiastic as could be, wanting to give this land to Chen Xuan.
Huo Zhengfeng's attitude towards Chen Xuan had undergone a drastic change.
Seeing that Chen Xuan remained silent, Elder Huo thought Chen Xuan was unhappy and hurriedly said, "Mr. Chen, please accept it. If you don't accept it, I'll kneel down to you!"
Chen Xuan's mouth twitched.
Why did these Huo family members like kneeling so much?
He quickly stopped Elder Huo and asked with a smile, "Elder Huo, I'm a bit confused. What exactly is going on?"
Elder Huo slapped his forehead. Just as he was about to explain, he suddenly looked at the jade pendant on Chen Xuan's neck and said, "Mr. Chen, could I see the jade pendant on your neck first?"
Chen Xuan glanced at the jade pendant on his neck, his eyebrows rising.
This was the jade pendant his father, Chen Jianhua, had left him. He had worn it since he was a child. When he was desperate, he had tried to sell it, but the pawnshop told him it wasn't worth much.
Without hesitation, he took the jade pendant off his neck and handed it to Elder Huo.
