Chapter 301 The Blazing Sun Chamber of Commerce
Crack!
A sound of bone cracking suddenly rang out.
Following that was a piercing scream.
Everyone turned to look and was shocked!
Murong Tian took several steps back, his face ashen, blood at the corner of his mouth, his sleeves tattered, his entire arm fractured, sharp bones piercing through flesh and blood.
Murong Tian clutched his deformed arm, his mouth agape as he screamed in agony.
In contrast, Chen Xuan stood there as if nothing had happened, watching the scene with a calm expression. His tranquil, deep eyes further captivated Murong Meng.
Many women of the Murong family looked at Chen Xuan with admiration, suddenly finding the men beside them utterly unappealing.
This was the ideal son-in-law! A perfect match!
"Young Master Tian!"
Soon, the men brought by Murong Tian saw what had happened and rushed forward. Some surrounded Murong Tian, while others glared fiercely at Chen Xuan, shouting threats to kill him.
If Murong Tian met with misfortune, they would undoubtedly be severely punished. If they could apprehend Chen Xuan, it would mitigate their own guilt.
A burly man stepped forward, clenching his fists.
This burly man was a Fifth-Grade Internal Force Master.
Chen Xuan was slightly surprised. Just who were these people? Not only was this burly man a Fifth-Grade Internal Force Master, but the others were also masters of Internal Force or above. Their average skill level was even higher than that of the Xuanji Hall.
However, while others considered Internal Force Masters to be experts, in Chen Xuan's eyes, they were nothing.
Chen Xuan glanced at the man and uttered one word: "Scram!"
"How dare you harm Young Master Tian! Surrender now!" the burly man gritted his teeth.
Chen Xuan wasted no further words and kicked the burly man in the chest. The burly man, like a kite with a broken string, flew backward, first impacting the three bodyguards behind him. They were sent sprawling, tumbling several times, unable to get up.
And this was only the beginning of their nightmare. In the next moment, Chen Xuan charged forward.
Soon, amid screams, the bodyguards brought by Murong Tian were brutally beaten by Chen Xuan, crying out in pain and finding it difficult to even stand up from the ground.
Seeing his men lying scattered on the ground, Murong Tian's expression turned grim. He knew he had encountered a formidable opponent and gritted his teeth, "Boy, I won't let you off!"
"Get lost immediately, don't let me see you again, otherwise, the next time I see you, I will cripple you myself," Chen Xuan said coldly.
Murong Tian was furious, but at this moment, he was utterly helpless against Chen Xuan.
He thought to himself: Cripple me? Heh, next time I see you, I'll have my teacher cripple you!
"Withdraw!"
With that parting shot, Murong Tian, limping, left with his men.
At this moment, Old Master Murong, accompanied by members of the Murong family, approached with smiles,
"Mr. Chen, thank you for your help this time. If not for you, this old bone of mine would have been buried here."
Chen Xuan smiled faintly, "Old Master Murong, you are too kind. After all, I hold forty percent of the Murong family's shares. When the Murong family faced trouble, it was natural for me to lend a hand."
"Mr. Chen, are you willing to offend the Blazing Sun Chamber of Commerce for our Murong family, and it's not just for forty percent of the shares, is it?"
Old Master Murong laughed heartily, his gaze subtly sweeping towards Murong Meng.
Murong Meng was startled upon hearing this.
Indeed, the Blazing Sun Chamber of Commerce was a powerful force. Why would he intervene for a mere forty percent of the Murong family's shares?
Could it be... for her?
A wave of sweetness surged through her heart, and her gaze towards Chen Xuan changed.
Many women looked on with envy and regret, wishing they had found a way to charm this man earlier, lest Murong Meng had gotten ahead of them.
Chen Xuan did not grasp the implication in Old Master Murong's words and asked, "Old Master Murong, you are also from the Murong family, why do they hate you so much? Why do they want to exterminate you? And what is this Blazing Sun Chamber of Commerce?"
"It's normal for Mr. Chen not to know about the Blazing Sun Chamber of Commerce, as you haven't set foot in the provincial capital. That is a force founded by the Murong family in the provincial capital, with a history of two to three hundred years."
Old Master Murong chuckled wryly, "They value martial arts over literature. If a martial arts prodigy emerged from a lineage, that lineage would benefit. However, back then, neither I nor my son had any cultivation talent, forcing us to leave the provincial capital and settle in Jiangzhou. Fortunately, we had some savings, so we established the Murong family of Jiangzhou."
"They probably think we don't understand cultivation and are a disgrace to them. As for why they came today, I'm not sure. I heard they had business in Jiangzhou and weren't primarily here to exterminate our lineage. Perhaps they were ordered to kill someone."
Chen Xuan somewhat understood the situation. He hadn't realized the Murong family was a martial arts force from the provincial capital. Given Murong Tian's considerable strength, already a Ninth-Grade Internal Force Master, it was imaginable how deep the foundation of the Murong family within the Blazing Sun Chamber of Commerce was. It was likely no weaker than the Tang family of the Central Plains, and possibly even stronger.
"Mr. Chen, Murong Tian also has a teacher in Jiangzhou. You should be careful," Old Master Murong said.
Chen Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you, Old Master Murong. However, I am fine. You all should be more careful. Your bodyguards are too weak. If necessary, send someone to Xuanji Hall. It's run by my junior brother, and there are many skilled fighters there. If anything happens, they can hold on for a while, giving me time to come to your rescue."
Old Master Murong's eyes lit up, "Good, I'll send someone to Xuanji Hall immediately."
Following that, Old Master Murong made the arrangements.
"Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?" Old Master Murong extended his hand towards Chen Xuan.
"Old Master Murong, no need. I came today to see Murong Meng."
Chen Xuan's gaze shifted, landing on Murong Meng.
Murong Meng also saw Chen Xuan, her heart pounding.
Old Master Murong looked at the two and blinked, then laughed heartily, "Then you two chat, you two chat. Let's all go back!"
The women of the Murong family looked at Murong Meng with envious eyes. To think that Murong Meng had managed to charm such a good son-in-law, it was enough to make them green with envy.
"It seems that fellow Chen Xuan did tell you."
Murong Meng, perhaps thinking of something, blushed slightly. Then she straightened her back and tried her best to appear confident, "What do you want to see me for? It's not to ask me out for a meal or a movie, is it?"
Chen Xuan saw that Murong Meng's face was thin, with her cheekbones clearly visible. She had been slapped earlier, and her face was still a little red and swollen. His heart softened, and in the end, he did not tell Murong Meng the speech he had prepared.
It wasn't that he had any feelings for Murong Meng.
It was just that this woman, while bold and fiery, was very simple and sincere in matters of love, even a little obsessive.
He genuinely worried that this woman might do something drastic upon hearing his words.
Murong Meng was Su Yunxi's good friend. If Murong Meng were to encounter any trouble, Su Yunxi would undoubtedly be very sad.
"Nothing, I just came to see you," Chen Xuan replied.
Murong Meng was slightly disappointed but quickly cheered up, "I know you're busy, it's fine, you go ahead and be busy. Just call me when you have time."
Yes, just one call was enough to make her happy for several days.
"You need to take care of yourself. Look how thin you've become. I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving."
Chen Xuan waved, turned, and left the Murong residence.
Murong Meng watched Chen Xuan leave, savoring his words. Her eyes suddenly lit up, "Could it be that he likes that type of woman with a curvaceous figure and a hot body?"
