Chapter 241 The Top Boss
Zhao Tianhao lowered his head, his face filled with resentment. "I... I understand!"
Zhao Jing also glanced at Chen Xuan again. She hadn't expected the son-in-law Su Yunxi had found to be an elder of the Medicine King's Mansion, a rank higher than her uncle. No wonder he had dared to be so arrogant just now.
Su Yunxi's beautiful eyes lit up, a smile appearing on her lips.
She hadn't expected Chen Xuan to have such a trump card!
Afterward, Zhao Bokang respectfully offered Chen Xuan a toast and then excused himself from the private room.
Su Yunxi and Zhao Jing were on diets and ate very little, finishing their meal quickly. Chen Xuan, having eaten ravenously at home earlier, was already half-full and soon finished as well.
As for Zhao Tianhao, he had no appetite at all, being too full of anger.
He had originally intended to showcase his wealth at this banquet and then use his uncle, an elder in the Medicine King's Mansion, to put Chen Xuan in his place. However, he had unexpectedly hit a wall.
The crucial point was that he couldn't accept that Chen Xuan, dressed in cheap clothes, was an elder of the Medicine King's Mansion!
After the meal, everyone left by car.
"When did you join the Medicine King's Mansion behind my back? How come I didn't know about this?"
Sitting in the passenger seat, Su Yunxi's beautiful eyes, like a bright moon, fixed on Chen Xuan's profile. Her usually confident and delicate face carried a hint of gentle complaint.
"I only joined the Medicine King's Mansion today, and I haven't had a chance to explain it to you yet." Chen Xuan couldn't help but smile wryly under Su Yunxi's gaze.
"Really?"
"Absolutely true."
"That's good. I also inquired just now. The Medicine King's Mansion is a folk organization that brings together many renowned physicians, and the welfare and benefits are quite good," Su Yunxi said with a smile.
Chen Xuan remembered Su Yunxi making a phone call as they were leaving the restaurant, realizing she had been inquiring about the Medicine King's Mansion. A warmth surged in his heart; Su Yunxi still cared about him.
In another car, the atmosphere was somewhat somber, and the sound of gritted teeth could be heard.
"Damn it, that guy is actually an elder of the Medicine King's Mansion!" Zhao Tianhao clenched his fist, still unable to accept this fact.
Zhao Jing took a breath and instructed, "Xiao Hao, Uncle just called and warned me not to have any more conflicts with Chen Xuan."
"Hmph, just an elder of the Medicine King's Mansion, a doctor in the end. What's wrong with having a conflict? Our Zhao family is a prominent family, and I, Zhao Tianhao, am a renowned martial arts genius. Am I, Zhao Tianhao, inferior to him?"
Zhao Tianhao felt overshadowed by Chen Xuan, his pride wounded, and he was unwilling to accept it.
Zhao Jing also agreed with Zhao Tianhao's statement. Although Zhao Tianhao was arrogant, he had the capital for his arrogance. At a young age, he had become a sixth-rank Inner Strength master, a unique genius in Central Province. Because of this, he had developed his arrogant and overbearing personality.
Chen Xuan seemed to have nothing but some medical skills.
In her opinion, Zhao Bokang had said those words simply because Chen Xuan was Zhao Bokang's superior, making him hesitant to act.
However, she didn't want to escalate the conflict too much, especially given Su Yunxi's presence.
Just as Zhao Jing was about to warn Zhao Tianhao, Zhao Tianhao seemed to have thought of something and said excitedly, "In the face of absolute martial force, nothing else matters. Besides, our Zhao family has a martial arts Grandmaster accompanying us."
"You're going to use a Grandmaster against someone? I'm telling you, don't go too far! Besides, Old Zhao has important matters to attend to tomorrow," Zhao Jing chided.
"Hehe, sister, don't worry. Why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken? I, this unparalleled genius of Central Province, will make that live-in son-in-law suffer a bit!" Zhao Tianhao clenched his fist, seemingly having made up his mind.
...
The next day, due to some urgent matters at Medical God Pharmaceuticals, Su Yunxi left without even eating breakfast to handle them. Zhao Jing, meanwhile, instructed the Zhao family's Grandmaster to do something, which seemed related to the opening of an ancient ruin.
Chen Xuan was alone in the backyard, practicing his morning exercises and stretching his muscles.
At this moment, Hei Hu entered the Su family villa with his men.
Hei Hu waved his hand, and the people behind him placed a large box in front of Chen Xuan. He then raised his hand and opened the box.
"Mr. Chen, this is the jade I recently found from a jade merchant in Jiangzhou. See if any of it is suitable?"
Chen Xuan walked over and scanned the jade with his divine sense, a look of joy appearing on his face. "Not bad, not bad, the quality of the jade this time is excellent!"
Hei Hu's heart rejoiced. "I've searched through all the good jade in Jiangzhou for this."
Chen Xuan nodded in satisfaction, realizing that Hei Hu had put effort into the task he had assigned.
Then, Chen Xuan picked out ten pieces of jade from the box.
Looking at these ten pieces of jade, Chen Xuan smiled.
With these ten pieces of jade, he could elevate the attack formation to another level!
At that time, he would be able to fearlessly go to the Tang family in Central Province to settle the score!
"Oh, so the people the Su family's live-in son-in-law associates with are not even at the level of an Inner Strength master. Is this your network?"
At this moment, a mocking laugh rang out.
Chen Xuan turned his head to look.
He saw Zhao Tianhao, dressed in a black martial arts outfit, flexing his muscles and walking over quickly. He stared at Hei Hu with a smiling face.
His arrogant expression was as if his tail was about to curl up to the sky.
"It's one thing to insult me, but to dare insult Mr. Chen is seeking death! Apologize to Mr. Chen quickly!" Hei Hu stepped forward and shouted sternly.
This guy's presence in the Su family villa must mean he had some status, but in Hei Hu's eyes, no one's status was more honored than Mr. Chen.
"You want me to apologize to him? Does a live-in son-in-law deserve that?"
Zhao Tianhao acted as if he had heard the biggest joke. "Besides, what right do you have to speak to me like this, a mere Inner Strength martial artist? If you were an Inner Strength Grandmaster, you might have some qualifications."
"You're courting death!" Hei Hu clenched his fist and punched towards Zhao Tianhao.
Seeing this, Zhao Tianhao let out a cold snort, his Inner Strength erupting, soaring towards the sky.
He unleashed a punch.
Hei Hu had no way to resist and was smashed in the chest, flying backward.
Zhao Tianhao's eyes flashed with cold light. He moved swiftly, pursuing his advantage, and threw another punch towards Hei Hu's forehead.
The fist loomed large in Hei Hu's widening pupils. He turned pale with fright.
"This is too much!"
A cold glint flashed in Chen Xuan's eyes. He moved instantly, appearing in front of Hei Hu, and casually threw a punch.
"Just as I intended!"
Upon seeing Chen Xuan make a move, Zhao Tianhao's face broke into a sinister grin.
He had been waiting for Chen Xuan to make a move!
*Bang!*
A muffled sound suddenly erupted.
Dust flew around.
Zhao Tianhao stumbled back two steps. After steadying himself, he looked at Chen Xuan with anticipation.
Although he hadn't used his full strength with this punch, it was enough to give Chen Xuan some trouble.
However, upon looking, Zhao Tianhao's face instantly turned somewhat grim. He saw Chen Xuan standing steadily in place, completely unharmed.
How... how was this possible?
Chen Xuan nodded faintly.
Zhao Tianhao snapped back to reality, narrowed his eyes, and stared at Chen Xuan, smiling. "I didn't realize you were also a practitioner?"
Judging by his aura, Chen Xuan was at most an Inner Strength martial artist. However, it was clear this guy had hidden his strength. But that was nothing; he had acted casually just now, using less than thirty percent of his power.
It was good that Chen Xuan had some strength; it would make the act of crushing him more satisfying!
