Chapter 245 If I Can Cure Him, Then I Lose
"Huangshan Martial Arts School's arch-rival is another major martial arts school in Jiangzhou, called Qingshan Martial Arts School. As per their agreement, the two schools have a martial arts competition every three years. The outcome of the competition almost determines the future development trend of the school for the next three years. Huangshan Martial Arts School lost last time, and their development has been slow in the past three years. Currently, they don't even have a martial arts genius who can hold up the fort. If they lose again, it's likely that Huangshan Martial Arts School will have to close down," Black Tiger explained with a smile.
"This is probably why Huangshan Martial Arts School chose to join Xuanji Hall," Chen Xuan said faintly.
"Precisely!"
"But no matter what, as long as he can join Xuanji Hall, anything goes," Chen Xuan nodded. Xuanji Hall had just been established and urgently needed forces to join and strengthen itself.
"Alright, Mr. Chen, I'll pick you up tomorrow." With that, Black Tiger hung up the phone.
The next day, Chen Xuan was busy enhancing the power of his attack formation. He estimated it would take at most half a day to reach the point of instantly killing an internal energy master.
Standing under the pavilion, Zhao Jing squinted her eyes and stared at Chen Xuan, who was either digging pits or messing around on the lawn, a hint of disdain on her face. Ever since she came to the Su family, Chen Xuan had been idle and only messing around. Those who knew him thought he was a live-in son-in-law of the Su family, while those who didn't know him would think he was a gardener hired by the Su family. She couldn't understand what kind of spell this guy had cast on her best friend to make Su Yunxi avoid her just to protect him!
"You scoundrel, I must teach you a lesson!" With that, Zhao Jing swayed her graceful figure and walked over.
"Chen Xuan!"
Chen Xuan, who was digging a pit with a hoe, looked up and saw Zhao Jing standing beside him with her arms crossed and a frosty expression on her face.
"Is there something you need?" Chen Xuan asked, continuing to dig.
"Come up first, I have something to tell you." Zhao Jing said with a cold face.
"If you have something to say, say it. Don't interrupt my work."
Zhao Jing showed a flicker of disdain. Was this considered work? "Work should be a proper job."
Zhao Jing said again, "Stop for a moment, I have something to discuss with you."
Chen Xuan hesitated slightly, reluctantly threw down the hoe, jumped out of the pit, and patted the dirt off his hands. He chuckled playfully, "Miss Zhao, what is it? Are you here to ask me to treat your brother? I'm in a good mood now. If Miss Zhao can humble herself and beg me, I can consider reducing the price."
"I'll beg you? Dream on!" Zhao Jing gasped in anger. How could this guy be so conceited?
"Then why are you here?" Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows, a little unsure of Zhao Jing's intentions.
Zhao Jing suddenly felt that she didn't need to be so angry. Her Zhao family now had an absolute trump card. She took a breath and said with a hint of pride, "Chen Xuan, I'll give you another chance. Heal my brother's internal energy immediately, or you know the consequences."
Chen Xuan's eyes widened, and his gaze lingered on Zhao Jing for two seconds, wondering where this woman got her confidence to say such a thing.
"What if I don't?" Chen Xuan asked calmly.
"How dare you..." Zhao Jing said with a half-smile, "Chen Xuan, I admit you have some skill in medicine, but how do you compare to some of the important figures in the Medicine King's Mansion?"
Chen Xuan replied without thinking, "They are not as good as me."
"What an arrogant statement." Zhao Jing snorted, "Since you are so arrogant, you deserve to be taught a lesson. To tell you the truth, my uncle has invited a big shot from the Medicine King's Mansion to treat my brother. If you don't want to be punished, hurry up and treat my brother. This is your last chance for redemption."
"I'm telling you, I'm giving you this opportunity for Yunxi's sake. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't waste so many words."
Facing Zhao Jing's threat, Chen Xuan remained unmoved. "Feel free to invite your divine doctor. If he can restore your brother's internal energy, then I admit defeat."
"You... you're ruthless! Just wait to be proven wrong!" Zhao Jing was somewhat surprised by Chen Xuan's words and was instantly enraged. This guy was too presumptuous.
With that, she left in a huff. Chen Xuan's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to dig. There was still a foot of depth to go before burying the jade talisman. He muttered to himself, "I wonder who they invited from the Medicine King's Mansion?"
It was almost noon. Chen Xuan changed into clean clothes and walked out of the villa. At that moment, a car stopped beside him, and Black Tiger got out.
"Mr. Chen!" Black Tiger greeted with a beaming smile. He was merely an internal energy martial artist, and he was about to have three internal energy masters and dozens of internal energy martial artists under him. Moreover, the renowned Huangshan Martial Arts School in Jiangzhou would become his subordinate. How could he not be happy? Of course, he knew that all of this was thanks to the young man in front of him. With this thought, Black Tiger's gaze towards Chen Xuan became even more respectful.
Chen Xuan nodded and got into the car. Black Tiger quickly followed, and the car slowly drove away.
Meanwhile, a luxury car, arriving from Medicine King Valley, entered Jiangzhou.
Huangshan Martial Arts School.
Black Tiger brought Chen Xuan to a large martial arts school. In the main hall, a sexy and alluring woman in her early twenties was looking at the man sitting opposite her with amorous eyes. Opposite her sat a dashing and handsome man in his early thirties. The sexy woman was Huang Wenjie's only daughter, Huang Tingting. The handsome man was Qu Haoming, whom Huang Tingting had always admired. He had been cultivating elsewhere and had recently returned to Jiangzhou. Huang Tingting invited Qu Haoming to be an external aid.
"Brother Feng, thank you for coming," Huang Tingting said with a smile. Qu Haoming greedily scanned Huang Tingting's alluring figure and said, "Since it's sister Tingting who invited me, of course, I won't refuse."
"Thank you, Brother Ming!" Huang Tingting giggled, her laughter causing her to shake charmingly.
Qu Haoming suddenly frowned, "Uncle Huang mentioned that he also invited someone to help in the competition. If they win, will they lead Huangshan Martial Arts School to join a newly established force?"
Hearing this, Huang Tingting looked annoyed, "I don't know what Dad is thinking. Although Huangshan Martial Arts School is not what it used to be, it's still a large and prosperous establishment. Why would they choose to join a newly formed force? It's truly bothersome."
Qu Haoming said confidently, "Sister Tingting, don't worry. With me here, it won't be your turn to act."
"Thank you, Brother Ming. Tingting has no way to repay you." Huang Tingting's seductive eyes made Qu Haoming's heart flutter.
At this moment, Black Tiger walked into the living room with Chen Xuan. Black Tiger surveyed the surroundings, his gaze falling on Huang Tingting. He smiled and said, "Miss Huang, is the Pavilion Master Huang here?"
"It's you?" Seeing Black Tiger, Huang Tingting's face instantly showed displeasure. It was Black Tiger who had persuaded Huang Wenshan to join the so-called Xuanji Hall last time.
Black Tiger smiled, "Miss Huang still recognizes me? Then it's easier to talk. Pavilion Master Huang asked me to bring the person he wanted, so please ask Pavilion Master Huang to come out and meet us."
Huang Tingting's gaze shifted to Chen Xuan, who was standing behind Black Tiger. She was stunned at first, then sneered, "Is this the person you invited to help Huangshan Martial Arts School? This young man, is he capable of being an internal energy master? Are you trying to embarrass Huangshan Martial Arts School by bringing this person here?"
Black Tiger's face darkened, "Miss Huang, what do you mean by that?"
Before Huang Tingting could speak, Qu Haoming said coldly, "What do I mean? Don't you have ears?"
"Hmm?" Black Tiger's gaze fell on Qu Haoming.
"What a fool. What he means is that the loser you called is not qualified to represent Huangshan Martial Arts School." Qu Haoming mocked.
Hearing this, Black Tiger's face instantly turned cold.
