Chapter 249 Sleeping Together
"One hundred million in cash." Chen Xuan thought for a moment and held up a finger.
Zhao Tianhao inwardly cursed, what kind of illness was this? It was too much to ask for such a price.
Zhao Jing agreed without hesitation, "Okay, I promise you."
While one hundred million for medical fees was a bit steep, the Zhao family was affluent enough not to care.
After speaking, Zhao Jing immediately transferred the money to Chen Xuan, who soon received a notification of one hundred million yuan.
Chen Xuan was not surprised that the Zhao family could readily produce such a sum. He continued, "There's another condition. I'll be away for a few days, and I want you to let the Elder Zhao who accompanied you be my wife's bodyguard for those days!"
With the formation nearing completion, it was time for him to settle accounts with the Tang family in the Central Plains.
However, since he was heading to the Central Plains province, he wouldn't be back anytime soon. The formation was inanimate, but people were not. If something were to happen, it would be troublesome.
He wanted Elder Zhao to be Su Yunxi's bodyguard as an added layer of security.
Zhao Tianhao's eyes widened.
"Chen Xuan, don't push your luck!"
Zhao Jing couldn't help but say, "Elder Zhao is an Inner Strength Grandmaster. Although he is part of our Zhao family, Elder Zhao only listens to the family head. He might not even listen to us. Besides, Inner Strength Grandmasters have their own dignity."
Chen Xuan frowned.
It seemed that the status of an Inner Strength Grandmaster was indeed quite high within the Zhao family.
However, Chen Xuan was unfazed. "The dignity of an Inner Strength Grandmaster in his twilight years, versus a rising star with the potential of an Inner Strength Grandmaster. I believe your Zhao family will make the right decision."
Zhao Jing's face turned from pale to flushed. "I'll make a phone call to ask for approval."
"Better be quick."
Soon, Zhao Jing made the call. "Our Zhao family agrees to your terms. When you leave the Zhao family, Elder Zhao will act as Yunxi's bodyguard."
"Good, then I can restore the inner strength of this young master of the Zhao family now," Chen Xuan nodded.
Chen Xuan had Zhao Tianhao lie down on the sofa.
He reached out and pressed a few acupoints at Zhao Tianhao's dantian.
Suddenly, the hand Chen Xuan held above the dantian was covered with a faint layer of profound azure energy. As he lifted it, a silver needle as thin as a cow's hair was drawn out!
Zhao Bokang and the First Elder watched in astonishment, as if witnessing a medical miracle!
A moment later, Chen Xuan stood up and put away the extremely thin silver needle.
"That's it?" Zhao Tianhao's eyes widened in disbelief.
Chen Xuan nodded. "You can try now."
Zhao Tianhao showed a suspicious look.
But, he couldn't wait to circulate his dantian. Soon, a look of ecstasy spread across his previously confused face.
The sluggish dantian began to flow slowly, and inner strength surged, clearly indicating his strength had been restored!
"How is it, Xiao Hao?" Zhao Jing asked softly.
Zhao Tianhao's face was filled with the joy of rebirth, and he said excitedly, "Sister, my strength has been restored!"
"That's good!" Zhao Jing immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"I hope the Zhao family will honor their promise," Chen Xuan reminded them.
Zhao Jing looked at Chen Xuan with a complex expression, finally nodding. "I understand."
The First Elder walked over with a smile, flattering, "Elder Chen, I didn't expect you to be so proficient in martial arts in addition to medicine. You are the most talented person I've ever seen who excels in both medicine and martial arts, besides the Mansion Lord!"
If the First Elder knew that Chen Xuan was also skilled in Feng Shui and esoteric arts, his expression would likely be entirely different.
Chen Xuan smiled faintly. "First Elder, you are too kind. It's just some minor skills."
His heart stirred, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is the Mansion Lord proficient in both medicine and martial arts?"
"Indeed," the First Elder nodded.
Afterward, Chen Xuan invited the First Elder and Zhao Bokang to stay for a meal. Both were eager to seek advice on elixirs, so they readily agreed. During the meal, the conversation naturally revolved almost entirely around medicine and elixirs.
After the First Elder and Zhao Bokang left, Chen Xuan continued his work on upgrading the formation.
Su Yunxi, who had learned that the matter was resolved, returned to the villa that evening. As soon as she entered, she stretched.
"Yunxi, thank you for your hard work," Chen Xuan said with a hint of apology.
Su Yunxi smiled playfully, "Staying at the hotel was really uncomfortable, but you have to compensate me."
"How about I compensate you with myself tonight?" Chen Xuan said subtly.
"You, Chen Xuan, are getting bolder! What if Dad finds out..." Su Yunxi was taken aback, and a blush appeared on her pretty face.
"Hahaha."
Chen Xuan laughed. "Uncle specifically told me to seize the opportunity myself."
However, at this moment, Zhao Jing also walked over. Chen Xuan wisely stepped away and sat on the sofa to watch television.
"Zhao Jing, how have you enjoyed your time in Jiangzhou these past few days? I've also been away on business for several days and haven't been able to take you around. I apologize." Su Yunxi winked playfully, her expression sincere.
Zhao Jing's eyes were filled with a hint of grievance. "Yunxi, you're becoming more and more focused on romance and neglecting friendship!"
"Am I?" Su Yunxi smiled charmingly.
"Yes!" Zhao Jing nodded indignantly.
Su Yunxi couldn't help but cough twice. "Xiao Jing, don't be like this."
"Forget it, he is him, and you are you. I won't let a mere man affect our sisterly bond. Besides, my brother was too much, and he deserves to be taught a lesson by society." Zhao Jing shook her head and took off her shoes.
"That's my good sister!"
Su Yunxi didn't know the specifics of what happened, but it was clear the Zhao family hadn't gained any advantage.
"Xiao Yunxi, we haven't slept together in a long time. Shall we sleep together tonight?" Zhao Jing suddenly thought of something and said with a grin.
Su Yunxi's face flushed. "Okay!"
"Chen Xuan, considering your wife is willing to sacrifice herself, I won't hold this against you for now. However, our feud is set. Don't expect me to give you a pleasant look." Zhao Jing said indignantly to Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan's mouth twitched upon hearing this. "......"
...
In the evening, Chen Xuan was not idle, continuing to upgrade the attacking formation.
After Chen Xuan's all-night efforts, the upgrading of the attacking formation was finally completed!
Chen Xuan was extremely satisfied with the attacking formation. Under this formation, even the Zhao family's Elder Zhao would likely be instantly annihilated.
In the morning, Chen Xuan sat on the sofa, and Su Yunxi sat opposite him.
Chen Xuan hesitated for a few seconds, then looked at Su Yunxi and said, "Yunxi, I need to go out."
Su Yunxi frowned. "Are you going to the Tang family?"
"But Dad instructed you to endure before leaving. The Tang family is the most loyal dog of the Kyoto Su family and has Inner Strength Grandmasters guarding them. If you go to cause trouble for the Tang family, you will invite great trouble."
Su Yunxi brought up Su Qian, wanting Chen Xuan to abandon his plan to go to the Tang family. After all, going to the Central Plains Tang family alone was not a wise choice, especially since the Central Plains Tang family had Inner Strength Grandmasters.
Chen Xuan shook his head inwardly.
Su Qian had always advised him to keep a low profile and endure, but he didn't realize that constant forbearance would only embolden enemies and make them push their luck!
The Central Plains Tang family dared to kidnap Su Yunxi, and they must pay the price!
