Chapter 506 Additive Disposal
As time ticked by, Old Master Gao's complexion visibly improved. His previously deathly pallor was replaced by a ruddy glow.
Everyone was utterly astonished.
Gao Haojun, meanwhile, looked as though he had swallowed a fly, his expression grim.
This scene completely overturned everyone's perceptions.
Old Master Gao felt his strength returning. He hadn't been able to drink even a sip of water that day, but now he had an appetite, a clear sign of recovery.
"Quick, get a mirror!"
Old Master Gao urged.
Young Master Gao rushed to fetch a mirror and placed it before Old Master Gao.
Old Master Gao looked into the mirror, his eyes brightening. Indeed, his face was much ruddier, cleaner, and more tender than before.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"
Old Master Gao turned to Chen Xuan, thanking him repeatedly.
"You are too kind, Old Master Gao," Chen Xuan replied with a smile.
"Mr. Chen, how should we handle that well?"
Old Master Gao looked at Chen Xuan, a trace of lingering fear in his eyes. "Do we need to find a feng shui master to perform a ritual?"
Clearly, Old Master Gao was now somewhat convinced of feng shui and metaphysics.
Chen Xuan shook his head. "Dealing with it is simple. Just bury my protective charm at the spot where the well was dug, and sprinkle it with yellow wine and glutinous rice."
"Furthermore, I've noticed that besides Old Master Gao, everyone else has also been tainted by malevolent energy. Wearing my protective charms will dispel this."
Saying this, Chen Xuan took out several protective charms and handed them to Gao Chuh he for distribution.
The Gao family members received them one by one with great care. Only Gao Haojun scoffed, "What protective charms? They're just tricks. He's just putting on a show."
He grabbed the charm handed to him, turned, and tossed it into the trash can.
Chen Xuan merely smiled at this.
Chen Xuan had already opened his Heavenly Eye. Everyone in the Gao family, to varying degrees, had been contaminated by malevolent energy. Old Master Gao, as the head of the family, was the most exposed. If their malevolent energy wasn't removed, it would bring them bad luck.
"Third brother, you may leave for now."
Old Master Gao waved his hand.
"Then I'll go take care of some matters," Gao Haojun said, finding an excuse to leave. He turned and departed with a stern face.
Chen Xuan's appearance had thoroughly embarrassed him.
"Mr. Chen, my son is too arrogant. I am truly sorry. I apologize to you on his behalf,"
Old Master Gao said with sincere earnestness.
If the wealthy magnates from the provincial capital had witnessed this scene, they would have been utterly astonished.
The dignified Old Master Gao, a generation's grandmaster of martial arts in Jiangnan Province, a figure at the apex of the provincial capital's hierarchy, was now apologizing to a live-in son-in-law of the Su family!
Young Master Gao's eyes were so wide with shock that they nearly fell out.
He thought of all the foolish things he had done and wished he could slap himself twice.
He was certain that Chen Xuan was far more than just skilled in medicine.
"It's alright. He will apologize to me personally," Chen Xuan said with a slight smile, glancing at the protective charm thrown into the trash can.
Old Master Gao blinked, staring at Chen Xuan for a few seconds. He thought Chen Xuan was being prideful and unwilling to let go of the matter.
He smiled and changed the subject. "Mr. Chen, you have saved my life again this time. I don't know how to thank you."
Old Master Gao seemed to rack his brain. "Mr. Chen, I still have some antiques and calligraphy in my secret room. I wonder if you would like them? You can take anything you fancy."
"Oh, and we also have some villas and medicinal materials at home. Perhaps you would like to take a look?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan smiled and waved his hand. "No need, Old Master Gao. You've already given me a White Dragon Card, which can be used for ten billion. That is already very valuable."
These items naturally did not catch his eye.
White Dragon Card!
Young Master Gao's heart sank. A bad premonition washed over him, and he felt a chill down his spine.
He prayed inwardly that Chen Xuan wouldn't bring up the auction, or else he would be finished.
Old Master Gao frowned.
The White Dragon Card could be used for ten billion, but it was certainly not worthy of Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan said calmly, "By the way, Old Master Gao, I recently bid for a villa with Young Master Gao and bought some other items, spending over three hundred million. Please don't mind."
Young Master Gao's pupils constricted, his face turning pale. Immediately, he felt a chill emanating from behind him.
He turned his head, and precisely then, Old Master Gao's icy face met his gaze.
"Who told you to compete with Mr. Chen for things?" Old Master Gao said coldly.
At these words, Young Master Gao's legs went weak, and he nearly fell to his knees.
"Grandfather, it was my greed."
Young Master Gao was on the verge of tears. "Grandfather, I know I was wrong. I've already knelt and apologized to Mr. Chen."
Old Master Gao angrily declared, "I'm telling you, anything Mr. Chen fancies, you must not only not snatch, but you must also buy it and give it to Mr. Chen!"
"Grandfather, your lesson is well-taken. I understand."
"Mr. Chen, I have failed in my upbringing. The Gao family is indebted to you."
Old Master Gao shot Gao Shao a glare, then turned to Chen Xuan, his tone filled with apology.
Chen Xuan smiled slightly. "Never mind. I won't hold it against him."
"Go to the ancestral hall and await the execution of family law!"
Old Master Gao, however, had no intention of letting the matter rest. He spoke sternly to Gao Shao, his demeanor imposing.
Old Master Gao had always been very strict with his descendants.
Family law?
Gao Shao's face turned deathly pale, as if he had heard something truly terrifying.
"Grandfather, Mr. Chen has already forgiven me. Why do you still want to enforce family law on me? I am your own grandson!"
Old Master Gao said sternly, "That is because Mr. Chen is magnanimous. This is the Gao family's punishment for you."
Gao Shao let out a mournful cry, unable to utter another word. He was directly taken away by Gao Chuh he.
As for Gao Shao's fate, judging by his complexion, it was likely not pleasant.
When Old Master Gao learned of the trouble Gao Shao had caused Chen Xuan, he insisted, albeit persistently, that Chen Xuan choose a few antiques from the treasure room as an apology.
Old Master Gao's earnestness was difficult to refuse, so Chen Xuan agreed to visit the Gao family's treasure room to select a few items.
"Mr. Chen, please take your time and look around. Take whatever you fancy. After all, I am old, and I no longer care about material possessions."
Old Master Gao waved his hand, dismissing the returning Gao Chuh he, and personally got out of bed to lead Chen Xuan to...
Everyone who saw Old Master Gao, who had been on the verge of death moments ago, now able to walk, marveled at the spectacle and admired Chen Xuan even more.
"Mr. Chen, please look around. Take whatever you fancy."
Standing in the treasure room, Old Master Gao said with a smile, a hint of pride in his demeanor.
With so many treasures, Old Master Gao felt a sense of pride each time he saw them. After all, these were the Gao family's collections accumulated over a century.
Chen Xuan glanced around.
This treasure room occupied a vast area, easily over a hundred square meters, filled with red sandalwood shelves displaying various antiques. The shelves were packed to the brim with antiques.
The treasure room rivaled that of a provincial museum, with its dazzling array of items, each and every one a treasure!
This clearly showed the depth of the Gao family's heritage!
It was a pity that Chen Xuan was not interested in antiques.
Old Master Gao expected Chen Xuan to be moved, but to his surprise, he saw Chen Xuan's gaze clear, as if the antiques before him were mere broken pottery, and the famous calligraphy and paintings were just scribbles.
Just as Old Master Gao was thinking this, a beam of intense light suddenly shot from Chen Xuan's eyes, as if he had discovered a new continent. Following this, Chen Xuan left Old Master Gao behind and darted into the rows of shelves...
