Chapter 235 Slander
"You mean this?" Chen Xuan raised his hand and flicked.
A stream of wine flowed out from between his fingers!
Li Hongyan's mouth slowly widened: "You... you actually forced the poisoned wine out?"
The Lu brothers also had stern expressions. Forcing out poisoned wine was not something ordinary people could do. This guy didn't seem simple.
Li Jiajia was also stunned, not expecting Chen Xuan to have such a skill.
"Do you think forcing out the poisoned wine will do any good?" Li Hongyan sneered.
"Bring out whatever other tricks you have!"
Chen Xuan's face also turned cold.
Li Hongyan's repeated provocations had already made Chen Xuan extremely angry.
Li Hongyan looked at the Lu brothers who had not yet left: "Lu brothers, I didn't expect this guy to be able to force out poisoned wine. I'll trouble you two to deal with him for me."
The eldest Lu glanced at Li Hongyan: "Elder Li, if it were just some ordinary young brat, we would help for free. But this guy is clearly not an ordinary Inner Force martial artist, at least he's at the half-step Inner Force Grandmaster level."
"What do you mean?" Li Hongyan frowned.
The second Lu licked his lips, his gaze greedily sweeping over Li Hongyan: "We brothers have admired Elder Li for a long time. As long as Elder Li agrees to spend a night with us brothers, we can help you get rid of this guy."
"You..."
A hint of shame and anger flashed across Li Hongyan's face.
She was the savior of the Lu brothers, but she didn't expect them to be ungrateful and make such an inappropriate request.
"I'll offer thirty million!"
"Our brothers are not short of money. If Elder Li disagrees, then there's nothing we can do. This is a tough nut to crack, and we brothers are in a difficult position." The eldest Lu smiled, advancing by retreating.
"Fine! I agree!"
Li Hongyan made a decisive decision, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
She was adept at playing the game, with ten thousand ways to kill the Lu brothers.
Upon hearing this, the Lu brothers' faces were filled with excitement.
Soon, the Lu brothers looked at Chen Xuan, rubbing their hands together with cold smiles: "Kid, if you blame anyone, blame yourself for offending the wrong person. When you're in the underworld, don't trouble us Lu brothers."
Chen Xuan's expression was blank: "This has nothing to do with you. If you don't want to die, get lost!"
"It had nothing to do with us before, but now it does. If we don't kill you, we brothers won't be able to enjoy the company of a beauty." The Lu brothers let out sinister laughter.
"Then don't blame me for being impolite!" Chen Xuan's face darkened.
"Second brother, stop the nonsense and hurry up. I can't wait!" The eldest Lu roared, his eyes slightly red.
"Good!" The second Lu responded.
Chen Xuan sensed the aura from the Lu brothers and his eyes narrowed. No wonder they dared to be so arrogant; they were two half-step Inner Force Grandmasters, and their auras were similar, with a sense of connection between them.
The Lu brothers directly used their killing moves and charged at Chen Xuan. Their auras combined, exuding immense power, comparable to a newly promoted Inner Force Grandmaster!
Chen Xuan punched out!
As if pouring cold water on a fire, the powerful aura of the Lu brothers instantly extinguished.
Under Li Hongyan's shocked gaze, the Lu brothers fell heavily to the ground.
Looking at the Lu brothers, they were all dumbfounded.
"You don't want to kill me?"
Chen Xuan turned to look at Li Hongyan with a mocking expression.
"Don't get carried away. I've been in the Medicine King's Mansion for several years. What do you have to fight me with?"
Li Hongyan stared at Chen Xuan, gritting her teeth, while Li Jiajia cowered nearby.
"Who has such a big mouth, wanting to fight in the Medicine King's Mansion without asking me? Without asking the Mansion Master?"
Just then, the Grand Elder entered with several elders of the Medicine King's Mansion.
"Elder Chen..."
Seeing the Grand Elder, Li Hongyan's expression changed slightly. The Medicine King's Mansion was extremely cautious about infighting, and if the Grand Elder found out about this, she would lose a lot of skin, if not her life.
"Grand Elder, why are you here?"
Chen Xuan scanned everyone, then finally looked at the Grand Elder, asking with a frown.
The Grand Elder smiled: "We intended to consult you on alchemy matters. When we went to your residence and didn't see Elder Chen, we came here."
"You're all here to consult about alchemy?" Chen Xuan frowned, looking at so many elders.
"Precisely!"
The elders were a little embarrassed but readily admitted it.
"No problem, no problem." Chen Xuan smiled.
Chen Xuan's attitude made the Grand Elder feel even closer to him.
"Elder Chen, you are already an elder of the Medicine King's Mansion. Anyone who dares to touch you, I will definitely punish them severely!"
The Grand Elder's gaze swept over Li Hongyan inadvertently.
Earlier, the Mansion Master had instructed them to treat Chen Xuan well, but now someone was rushing to their doom.
Chen Xuan said slowly, "You'll have to ask Elder Li about that."
The Grand Elder's gaze shifted to Li Hongyan, and he said sternly: "Hmm? Elder Li, what's going on?"
"This..." Li Hongyan swallowed, her face changing, unsure how to speak.
"Elder Li, hurry up and confess!" The Grand Elder's face turned cold instantly.
Li Hongyan was sweating profusely from anxiety. Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she immediately cried out: "Grand Elder, it's a good thing you arrived in time, otherwise my niece's purity would have been ruined!"
As she spoke, Li Hongyan winked at Li Jiajia.
"What's going on?" The Grand Elder frowned, and others also looked over.
Li Jiajia understood, her eyes immediately brimming with tears, twisting the facts:
"Grand Elder, we wanted to invite Chen Xuan to dinner and apologize to him just now, but we didn't expect Chen Xuan to be such a scumbag and have improper intentions towards me."
"My aunt's two friends who were invited couldn't stand it and got into a fight with Chen Xuan. But we didn't expect Chen Xuan to be too powerful and beat up both of my aunt's friends. If you had arrived any later, my purity would have been ruined!"
Huh?
Everyone's gaze converged on Chen Xuan, their eyes becoming somewhat strange.
If what Li Jiajia said was true, then Chen Xuan would truly be a beast in human clothing, and even with his superb alchemy skills, he would be reviled.
Many elders who were friendly with Li Hongyan began to reprimand Chen Xuan: "A scumbag like Chen Xuan must not be kept in our Medicine King's Mansion!"
Others adopted a wait-and-see attitude.
It was well known that Chen Xuan had a conflict with Li Hongyan.
Chen Xuan frowned, not expecting Li Jiajia to twist the narrative. He said coldly, "Li Jiajia, my fiancée is beautiful and captivating. Where do you get your confidence? Is there something wrong with your brain?"
Li Jiajia was ashamed and indignant, biting her lip: "Stop talking nonsense here. Everyone knows you're being kept."
"Grand Elder, you must uphold justice for my niece! Expel this scumbag from the Medicine King's Mansion!" Li Hongyan shouted.
"Elder Chen, is there such a thing?" The Grand Elder raised his eyebrows and asked sternly.
Chen Xuan said indifferently, "Grand Elder, you don't believe me?"
The Grand Elder looked at Chen Xuan, his expression somewhat strange.
As the temporary head of the Medicine King's Mansion, he could not judge right from wrong based on personal preference.
Although he believed Chen Xuan, the facts were undeniable.
The Grand Elder took a breath: "I believe in facts."
"That's good!" Chen Xuan nodded indifferently.
If the Medicine King's Mansion sided with Li Hongyan, then it would be too disappointing for him.
However, it seemed that this Grand Elder was a reasonable person.
Then, Chen Xuan calmly said:
"Grand Elder, the situation is like this. Elder Li claimed she wanted to apologize to me and sent Li Jiajia to invite me. Then I came here. However, they put ten-fragrance soft-muscle powder in the wine, but I managed to force the poisoned wine out."
"Therefore, Li Hongyan instructed her two henchmen to kill me. If you don't believe me, you can check the wine on the table, and you can also ask these two henchmen. These two guys probably have criminal records on them."
