Chapter 456 Xuanji Hall Upgrades
Chen Xuan's expression turned cold as he reached out and grabbed it.
He opened the first page of the contract.
The words "Renxin Medical Hall Transfer Contract" immediately met his eyes.
Party B: Li Jiajia.
Transfer fee: One million.
One million for the Renxin Medical Hall, valued at hundreds of millions?
Had Li Jiajia lost her mind?
Li Jiajia said haughtily, "Chen Xuan, hurry up and sign the contract."
Chen Xuan said indifferently, "One million? Li Jiajia, are you out of your mind? Renxin Medical Hall doesn't treat insane people."
"You dare to insult me!" Li Jiajia hopped with rage.
Lu Jian's eyes widened, and he also took the contract to look at it, his eyes spitting fire. He couldn't take it anymore, "The land alone for Renxin Medical Hall is worth over a hundred million, and you're offering just one million? Are you trying to insult us?"
"Insult you? So what if I'm insulting you?"
Li Jiajia sneered, "Let me tell you, Chen Xuan, our Li family is no longer what it used to be. We have plenty of money. If you don't sell, I'll see to it that your Renxin Medical Hall is squeezed dry. If you don't sign this contract, I'm telling you, you won't even get this one million."
"Chen Xuan, if you sign this contract, my aunt also said she can let you off the hook, and all past grievances can be settled."
Li Jiajia crossed her arms and looked at Chen Xuan mockingly.
She was waiting for Chen Xuan to make the right decision.
In her opinion, Chen Xuan would definitely sign the contract.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan uttered a single word: "Scram!"
"What did you say?"
Li Jiajia's pretty face sank.
"If your aunt wants to fight, I, Chen Xuan, will accompany you to the end!" Chen Xuan declared with conviction.
"Fine! Then don't blame me for being impolite."
Li Jiajia tossed these words, waved her delicate hand, and turned to leave with her entourage in a huff.
"Mr. Chen, this..."
Lu Jian frowned, a little worried. He had dealt with Jin Yuan Medical Hall before, and the Li family was very insidious.
"Be careful in the future," Chen Xuan warned.
At the same time, he was also contemplating that it was time to take the initiative to counter the Li family, otherwise he would be too passive.
However, Chen Xuan didn't have any good methods for the time being. While thinking, he walked out of the medical hall.
After walking out of the medical hall, Chen Xuan hadn't taken two steps when he saw the house next door being renovated.
Judging by its footprint, Xuanji Hall was no smaller than Renxin Medical Hall. Although it was under renovation and didn't look grand, the initial stage of the decoration indicated that once completed, it would likely be quite conspicuous.
A brand new plaque bearing the name "Xuanji Hall" hung above the storefront.
The three characters "Xuanji Hall" were golden under the sunlight, appearing extremely resplendent.
The plaque was the same as the old one, but it seemed a bit small for this storefront.
However, this plaque was protected by everyone at the cost of their lives, giving it extraordinary significance.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan smiled. He guessed that Master Bai had also spared no expense.
Chen Xuan walked towards Xuanji Hall.
As soon as he stepped inside, Chen Xuan suddenly felt a surge of killing intent.
His gaze sharpened, and he instinctively dodged sharply to the side.
The next moment, a gleaming broadsword, slick with dew, swung down from above, grazing his chest.
"Who attacked me?" Chen Xuan asked coldly after dodging the blow.
Just then, a middle-aged man in Xuanji Hall attire, with a fierce and menacing look, leaped out from behind the door, wielding a long saber.
"You dare to come again! I'll beat you so hard you'll be crawling!"
Saying that, the middle-aged man raised his long saber and, without distinguishing friend from foe, was about to chop towards Chen Xuan's forehead.
Chen Xuan, recognizing the middle-aged man's attire, flicked his finger. The long saber emitted a humming sound.
The violent vibrational force made the middle-aged man's palm go numb, and the long saber flew out, embedding itself deeply into the floor.
"You..." The middle-aged man looked at Chen Xuan with utter dread, swallowing hard.
He had sent his long saber flying with just a flick of his finger.
What kind of divine technique was this?
He clenched his trembling palm, trying his best to overcome the fear Chen Xuan inspired.
"You don't recognize me?" Chen Xuan looked at the middle-aged man, who was wearing Xuanji Hall's uniform, and asked with a hint of helplessness.
The middle-aged man seemed to recall something, and his eyes lit up. "Are you Chen Xuan, the person in charge of Xuanji Hall in the provincial capital?"
Chen Xuan nodded faintly. "Indeed."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression became extremely contorted, filled with guilt and self-reproach, as if he were about to cry. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't know it was you. I was just sent to the provincial capital from Jiangzhou by Brother Hu. Please, spare me... I have an eighty-year-old mother..."
When he came to Xuanji Hall in the provincial capital, the middle-aged man had heard the legends of Chen Xuan the most.
It was all thanks to Chen Xuan that Xuanji Hall could move from a secluded street to a prime location in the city center. He had been a bit unconvinced at first, but after witnessing Chen Xuan's skills just now, the middle-aged man was completely subdued!
Chen Xuan understood. It turned out this middle-aged man was someone newly sent by Black Tiger, which explained why he didn't recognize him.
However, even if he didn't recognize him, should he immediately attack someone with a saber upon their arrival?
Looking at the middle-aged man's subservient demeanor, Chen Xuan interrupted him, "Where is Yang Chaotian?"
"The Hall Master is inside. I'll call Hall Master Yang over right away."
With that, the middle-aged man walked into Xuanji Hall. Soon, Yang Chaotian emerged from Xuanji Hall with the middle-aged man.
"Mr. Chen, I apologize for the disturbance just now. I have already punished him." Yang Chaotian, who already knew the situation, stood before Chen Xuan with a face full of apology.
"It's a minor matter," Chen Xuan waved his hand.
"That's good!" Yang Chaotian breathed a sigh of relief and turned to scold the middle-aged man, "Open your eyes and see clearly from now on. This is the person in charge of our Xuanji Hall in the provincial capital. Fortunately, Mr. Chen is unharmed. If Mr. Chen had been injured even slightly, I would have taken your life."
"Hall Master Yang, I know I was wrong!" The middle-aged man trembled, his face pale.
"Get lost!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The middle-aged man turned and left, not daring to linger there.
"Hall Master Yang, what exactly happened just now?" Chen Xuan frowned and couldn't help but ask. Even if this middle-aged man didn't recognize him, he shouldn't have attacked without distinguishing friend from foe upon his arrival.
Yang Chaotian took a breath and smiled, "It's actually not a big deal. A martial arts gym called 'Brilliant Martial Arts Hall' has been provoking us recently, even launching sneak attacks. So, I sent people to keep an eye on them, preparing to catch them off guard. But I didn't expect to encounter you, Mr. Chen."
"Brilliant Martial Arts Hall?" Chen Xuan frowned.
Yang Chaotian replied, "Yes. According to the information we've gathered, Brilliant Martial Arts Hall is a newly established force in the provincial capital, apparently founded by the young master of the Na family. They are quite strong, but we dealt with them yesterday."
"Can you deal with Brilliant Martial Arts Hall?" Chen Xuan asked.
Yang Chaotian assured, "Please don't worry, Mr. Chen. This time, Boss Black Tiger has sent us reinforcements. They are also a newly established force, so we have nothing to fear."
Chen Xuan nodded faintly.
He had no intention of intervening in this matter, as Chen Xuan couldn't solve every problem himself; otherwise, Xuanji Hall would never grow. Now that Xuanji Hall had passed the most difficult initial stage, they would have to rely on themselves from now on.
"Let's go, let's go see the new place," Chen Xuan said with a smile.
Yang Chaotian's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Mr. Chen, let's go, I'll take you to see it!"
