Chapter 228 Meeting the Li Family Again
At this moment, Divine Doctor Lu slapped Liao Yong across the face!
This slap left Liao Yong completely stunned!
"Divine Doctor Lu, this fellow called you, why are you hitting me?" Liao Yong asked in disbelief.
Divine Doctor Lu’s face turned cold as he sternly said, "Shut up, Mr. Chen Xuan is the elder joining the Medicine King’s Manor today!"
Huh?
Liao Yong’s eyes widened, and he looked at Chen Xuan with shock.
He was joining the Medicine King’s Manor so soon after graduating?
The elders of the Medicine King’s Manor who were under fifty years old were few and far between!
Even if Liao Yong said it now, he wouldn’t believe it.
The middle-aged couple was also dumbfounded, looking at Chen Xuan in surprise.
This guy was an elder of the Medicine King’s Manor?
Heavens, they were going to the Medicine King’s Manor to seek medical treatment! If Chen Xuan held a grudge against them for how they treated him, what would happen?
The taxi driver’s legs went weak, and he almost knelt on the ground.
"Elder Lu, are you sure you’re not mistaken..." Liao Yong scratched his head and asked with a trembling voice.
"Your mother might be mistaken, but I wouldn’t be," Divine Doctor Lu said, his beard bristling with anger.
Liao Yong: "......"
"Liao Yong, you are fired now, get out immediately. And you, taxi driver, you will also be blacklisted. If you dare to appear near Medicine King Valley again, I’ll make sure you regret it," Divine Doctor Lu cursed.
Liao Yong’s face turned ashen.
The taxi driver beside him also felt his hands and feet go cold. If he was blacklisted by Medicine King Valley, he would be finished.
If he had known Chen Xuan’s purpose, he would never have dared to extort Chen Xuan.
"Mr. Chen, please come in." Divine Doctor Lu couldn't be bothered to waste more time on Liao Yong; the important matters were paramount, so he respectfully gestured for Chen Xuan to enter.
Chen Xuan nodded indifferently and stepped into the Medicine King’s Manor.
After Chen Xuan left, the middle-aged couple looked around. Seeing that no one from the Medicine King’s Manor was paying attention, they harbored a sliver of hope and fled into the Medicine King’s Manor as if escaping. After all, the Medicine King’s Manor was so large, they might not have encountered Chen Xuan.
...
Divine Doctor Lu led Chen Xuan into the Medicine King’s Manor.
The Medicine King’s Manor was vast, filled with flowers and trees, and many areas were planted with precious medicinal herbs, filling the air with a medicinal fragrance.
Divine Doctor Lu received a message and frowned, showing a hint of apology, "Mr. Chen, our Medicine King’s Manor’s master is out, and the Grand Elder is in charge of affairs. The Grand Elder and others are currently consulting with a patient. You can visit the Medicine King’s Manor at your leisure while I go and see if the Grand Elder’s consultation has concluded."
Chen Xuan said casually, "Divine Doctor Lu, you go ahead. I’ll just wander around here myself."
Divine Doctor Lu nodded and turned to leave.
Chen Xuan gazed into the distance, his gaze involuntarily focusing.
The Medicine King’s Manor was located on Medicine King Mountain, with abundant spiritual energy and auspicious clouds reaching for the sky, a true treasure land. Simply residing here could extend one’s life, no wonder the esteemed Medicine King’s Manor was established here.
It seemed that the person who established the Medicine King’s Manor here back then was not simple.
Just as Chen Xuan was admiring the medicinal herbs planted in the fields, a surprised voice suddenly rang out, "Chen Xuan? What are you doing here?"
Chen Xuan turned his head and saw a familiar, graceful figure standing behind him, covering her mouth with her slender hand, staring at him with great surprise, seemingly shocked to see him appearing there.
Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows and blurted out, "Li Xin? What are you doing here?"
That’s right, this woman was Li Xin, the cousin of Li Jiajia, who was attending university in Jiangzhou!
The last time he went to the Li family to find something left for him by Chen Jianhua from the neighborhood, he remembered them saying the Li family had moved. How could the Li family appear here?
Li Xin stared at Chen Xuan, her expression becoming somewhat complex.
Chen Xuan's words had once caused the Li family to go bankrupt and lose everything. She had experienced despair and hated Chen Xuan, but later he gave her two million yuan as thanks for telling Old Master Li about the incident.
Although she was spoiled and arrogant, she was relatively reasonable. When Old Master Li had an accident, the Li family should have been responsible. Everything Chen Xuan did seemed to be justifiable.
She took a breath and said indifferently, "My aunt is an elder in the Medicine King’s Manor, and she brought us here to study medicine."
Chen Xuan’s eyebrows twitched.
Wasn't Li Hongyan taken in by some consortium? How did she become an elder in the Medicine King’s Manor?
Although he had his doubts, he didn't really care. After all, the Li family had nothing to do with him.
Li Xin seemed to think of something, and a look of anxiety appeared on her pretty face, "You should leave quickly. Jiajia jie is also here, and she's coming to collect herbs later. If she sees you, your plan to seek medical treatment here might be ruined."
"Are you that worried about me? Are you planning to harm me again?" Chen Xuan, unaware of Li Xin's emotional changes, asked suspiciously.
"You should leave quickly. Why would I harm you? Although you made the Li family go bankrupt, it was because they treated Grandpa too harshly. Besides, you also gave me two million yuan. If it weren't for the money you gave me, I wouldn't even be able to pay my tuition. You should leave quickly," Li Xin explained anxiously.
Chen Xuan was stunned by her words. It seemed Li Xin hadn't wasted her university education. Whether she learned anything or not was unknown, but at least she had learned manners and could distinguish right from wrong, which was a hundred times better than that group of dogs in the Li family.
He didn't want to see Li Jiajia’s nauseating face again anyway. He nodded and said, "Learning medicine here is also good, better than attending university. I'll go look around elsewhere first."
Chen Xuan turned to leave, but before he could even lift his leg, Li Jiajia walked over quickly.
She looked at Li Xin and teased, "Cousin, who are you chatting with? Is it that talented young man who pursued you yesterday? Aunt said he comes from a wealthy real estate family, but we're not what we used to be now, so you should consider carefully and don't agree to him casually."
"N-no..."
Li Xin showed a trace of panic, as if she had done something wrong, and dared not look at Li Jiajia, shaking her head vigorously.
"You're an adult now, what's there to be shy about."
Li Jiajia giggled, her beautiful eyes then shifted to the figure standing opposite Li Xin.
The next moment, her smile froze on her face, replaced by anger and coldness.
"Good, Chen Xuan, I didn’t expect to run into you here. It's truly a case of 'Heaven has a door you refuse to take, and Hell has no gate you insist on entering'!" Li Jiajia's pretty, fair face turned somewhat cold due to her ferocious smile.
Chen Xuan felt a flicker of disgust.
He didn't want to see this woman at all, but he didn't expect to encounter her.
"Sister, how about we just let it go? Many things have passed," Li Xin forced a smile and said reluctantly.
Li Jiajia heard this and angrily said, "Li Xin, you are my sister, why are you siding with outsiders?"
Li Xin wanted to explain but didn’t know how, becoming hesitant.
Li Jiajia glared at Li Xin, then turned her gaze to Chen Xuan. Seemingly thinking of something, she became even less angry and instead revealed a playful smile, "Chen Xuan, I remember you have excellent medical skills. Why are you still coming to the Medicine King’s Manor to seek medicine? Have you killed someone now?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Chen Xuan said coldly.
"It seems I guessed correctly?" Li Jiajia's expression brightened.
Chen Xuan shook his head secretly, then said, "Whether it's true or not has nothing to do with you."
Li Jiajia said with a proud smile, "My aunt is an elder in the Medicine King’s Manor. As long as my aunt says a word, do you think any of the elders or enshrined guests would be willing to help you? Do you think it has anything to do with you?"
