Chapter 226 What if I Don't Pay?
"We all know the consequences of being poisoned by the Gu!"
The crowd could only respond with dejected faces, "Sir, please rest assured, within a month, we will definitely find the holy artifact that satisfies you!"
This Gu worm was used by the Xuan Yin Sect Master to deal with traitors of the Xuan Yin Sect, so they naturally knew how potent it was. This time, they dared not harbor any ulterior motives.
Afterward, Chen Xuan left his contact information for the burly young man. If the matter was handled successfully, the burly young man would call to inform him. Chen Xuan also learned that the burly young man was named Ma Dazhuang and had been in the Xuan Yin Sect for ten years.
Having done all this, the people of the Xuan Yin Sect, eager to leave with the Xuan Yin Sect Master's corpse, were stopped by Chen Xuan.
"Do you have any other instructions?" Ma Dazhuang stiffly turned his neck, worried that Chen Xuan would go back on his word.
"Ma Dazhuang, take them and clean up the hygiene here." Chen Xuan pointed to the bloodstains on the ground.
"I'll clean it up right now!" Ma Dazhuang immediately replied, not daring to hesitate.
At his command, the Xuan Yin Sect personnel immediately began cleaning.
They had traveled thousands of miles, failed to achieve their mission, and now had to clean up. Each of them felt extremely indignant.
"Chen Xuan, what happened just now?"
When the cleanup was almost finished, Su Yunxi walked out of the villa, looking at Chen Xuan with a frown.
Wei Linlin skipped behind her.
"It's nothing, the ground was dirty, so I hired some cleaning company people to clean it up," Chen Xuan said with a chuckle.
Su Yunxi looked somewhat suspicious but didn't ask further.
Wei Linlin frowned, looking at the Xuan Yin Sect members cleaning the ground with displeasure. "Chen Xuan, where did you find this cleaning company? Look how clumsy they are."
"Found them online, they're really unreliable," Chen Xuan sighed.
After a while, Wei Linlin lost interest and pulled Su Yunxi into the living room to watch TV.
Seeing that the ground was quite clean, Chen Xuan waved his hand, "You can go now!"
"Thank you, Master Chen!"
The Xuan Yin Sect members, filled with gratitude, dropped their things and turned to flee.
Not long after the Xuan Yin Sect people left, Chen Xuan received a call from Lu Chengfu.
"Mr. Chen, I recommended you to the Medicine King's Manor. Now the Medicine King's Manor has agreed to you becoming an elder, and they are willing to offer that half-sacred medicine as a welcoming gift. They hope you can report to the Medicine King's Manor as soon as possible." Lu Chengfu said with a smile.
Regarding Chen Xuan's miraculous alchemy skills, Lu Chengfu had immediately submitted an application to the Medicine King's Manor. The Medicine King's Manor attached great importance to Chen Xuan!
"I know!"
Chen Xuan's face lit up upon hearing this. This was excellent news. That half-sacred medicine was a life-saving medicine!
Lu Chengfu asked, "May I know when you will be free? I'm afraid if it's too late, I might not be at the Medicine King's Manor to receive you personally."
Chen Xuan hesitated for a moment but then nodded, "Send me the address. I'll come over after I've dealt with my current matters."
"Then I won't disturb you, Mr. Chen. I'll send you the location of the Medicine King's Manor later," Lu Chengfu said.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xuan quickly received the location of the Medicine King's Manor from Lu Chengfu.
The Medicine King's Manor was located within Jiangnan Province, not far from Jiangzhou, so he decided to head there!
The defensive array had already taken shape, and the offensive array could instantly kill a half-step Grandmaster, which was enough to handle many troubles and provided a layer of security for Su Yunxi's safety.
The main reason was that the Medicine King's Manor was also nearby. If anything happened, he would have time to rush back.
He called Hei Hu and Zhang Pangzi separately, asking them to hurry up and collect jade stones.
Before leaving, Chen Xuan gave Su Yunxi a jade talisman. If she encountered danger, she could crush this talisman.
Once the jade talisman was crushed, the array could be activated.
Furthermore, Chen Xuan felt it was not safe enough, so he gave Su Yunxi several more protective jade talismans. This time, Su Yunxi carefully kept them, knowing their power.
With everything prepared, Chen Xuan drove away from the Su family.
The Medicine King's Manor was located deep in the mountains.
However, due to the existence of the Medicine King's Manor, it was not desolate. Instead, many luxury cars could be seen coming and going, and merchants were often found by the roadside.
As Chen Xuan drove along the road, he suddenly felt a violent jolt. Chen Xuan stopped the car on the side and got out to inspect it. He saw that both front tires were flat. Upon closer inspection, he found that both front tires were punctured by steel nails.
He couldn't help but frown. Logically, only one tire should have been punctured, not both at once.
At this moment, a taxi stopped beside him. The car window rolled down, and a somewhat lecherous middle-aged man leaned out, "Young man, going to the Medicine King's Manor? Need a ride?"
It was still more than ten kilometers of mountain road to the Medicine King's Manor. If he waited for rescue, it might take several hours before he could reach the Medicine King's Manor. Chen Xuan didn't want to waste time on this.
So, Chen Xuan nodded, "Okay!"
Chen Xuan got into the car and discovered that a middle-aged couple, dressed in luxury brands and adorned with jewelry, were already sitting inside.
"There are other people?" Chen Xuan frowned.
The middle-aged woman looked at Chen Xuan's clothes, which seemed like they were from a street stall, and curled her lips. "The car we were driving is a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, worth over eight million yuan. Our clothes combined are worth over a million yuan. It's your honor to be able to share a car with us. If our car hadn't gotten a flat tire, do you think you'd be able to ride in the same taxi as us?"
Chen Xuan's Audi car was also quite expensive, but it still didn't catch their eye.
The words of the middle-aged socialite made Chen Xuan frown, feeling a hint of displeasure.
"They are also going to the Medicine King's Manor, so let's go together," the driver said casually.
Chen Xuan nodded and got into the car.
About ten minutes later, the taxi stopped in front of the Medicine King's Manor.
"Since the three of you are sharing a ride, I'll give you a discount. Ten thousand yuan each," the taxi driver said with a sinister chuckle.
"Ten thousand? Why don't you go rob a bank?" The socialite was furious when she heard this.
Although she had money, she couldn't let someone fleece her like this.
"Rob? If I were to rob, I'd probably take your lives as well," the taxi driver sneered.
"Do you think I'm scared? I'll tell you, if I stomp my foot in the provincial capital, the provincial capital will shake! Who are you trying to scare?"
The socialite put her hands on her hips and shouted indignantly.
The taxi driver was unfazed, "Sister, this is not the provincial capital, but Medicine King Mountain. In this deep mountain wilderness, if something happens to you, even if the police come, it will be difficult to investigate."
The socialite was instantly choked, as the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. No matter how influential they were in the provincial capital, they couldn't exert their power here.
The middle-aged man next to her changed his expression slightly and forced a smile, "My friend, let's talk. We'll pay the money."
"It's wise of you to be sensible," the taxi driver smiled and took out his prepared POS machine.
Soon, the middle-aged man swiped his card and transferred twenty thousand yuan.
The taxi driver nodded with a smile, then glanced at Chen Xuan, who seemed to have heard nothing, and frowned, "Kid, what about your fare?"
Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan said coldly, "What if I don't pay?"
