Chapter 255 Wishing the Tang Family Patriarch an Unseeing Death
Chen Xuan said lightly, "Do you think there's any room for compromise now?"
Xue Chuan suddenly realized and nodded, "Indeed."
"Chen Xuan, I've cooperated with you, you should detoxify me now."
At this moment, the little loli ran over, her innocent big eyes staring at Chen Xuan.
Looking at the little loli, Chen Xuan was taken aback.
If Chen Xuan didn't know how dangerous this person was, he would have been deceived by the little loli's innocent and cute appearance.
"After the Tang family's birthday banquet is over, come find me," Chen Xuan said lightly.
"You're breaking your promise!" a fierce glint flashed in the little loli's eyes.
Chen Xuan remained calm, "I only said I would detoxify you, but I didn't say when. Besides, if I detoxify you now, what if you turn around and kill me?"
The little loli clenched her fair fists, sniffed, and stared at Chen Xuan for a few seconds before finally compromising, "Fine!"
Of course, she had no choice but to compromise. She couldn't win in a fight, and now that she had betrayed the Tang family, the Tang family wouldn't let her off either.
The little loli turned and walked out of the coffin shop.
After the previous commotion, Xue Chuan took a deep breath and awkwardly explained, "Chen Xuan, I didn't mean to trick you, I really couldn't afford the rent."
Chen Xuan waved his hand. Five hundred yuan was nothing to him. Seeing the very embarrassed Xue Chuan, he couldn't help but ask, "How did you end up so miserable?"
With Xue Chuan's craftsmanship, in the funeral market, he should at least be well-off, if not living in luxury.
"It's all because I offended the Tang family. Everyone is afraid to offend the Tang family, so no one dares to hire me," Xue Chuan gritted his teeth, a hint of anger in his voice.
After speaking, Xue Chuan turned back to continue making the coffin.
Chen Xuan looked at Xue Chuan's figure, and his heart stirred. He asked in a deep voice, "Your surname is Xue... is the coffin craftsman Xue Lao Jiu your relative?"
"That's my grandfather," Xue Chuan looked back at Chen Xuan, his eyes shining with a hint of light, and replied truthfully.
"So, you are also a coffin craftsman?" Chen Xuan revealed a hint of surprise.
His father, Chen Jianhua, had once said that the Xue family of Zhongyuan was the only orthodox coffin craftsman in the Xuanmen sect. Their ancestors had been responsible for carrying coffins for generations, possessing secret techniques, astonishing arm strength, and a body of Xuan Yang energy that could suppress all Yin Sha energy. It was precisely for this reason that the Xue family members could serve as coffin craftsmen.
However, in the Feng Shui Xuanmen sect, coffin craftsmen were like bricklayers on a construction site in reality – their status was low and they were not taken seriously, leading to the gradual decline of the coffin craftsman profession.
But the Xue family was the only one that managed to establish a foothold and gain a certain status in the Feng Shui Xuanmen sect through their identity as coffin craftsmen.
In addition to being coffin craftsmen, the Xue family of Zhongyuan was also skilled in making coffins. It was said that Qin Shi Huang's dragon coffin was personally crafted by the Xue family.
Xue Chuan nodded in agreement and continued to busy himself with his work, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Clearly, Xue Chuan was also a man with a story.
The Tang family!
The Tang family patriarch sat in the living room sofa, calmly drinking tea. Tang Ren sat beside him, playing with his phone with excitement, his leg injury seemingly healed.
Given the Tang family's status, it was not difficult to find a divine doctor to quickly heal Tang Ren's leg injury.
"Patriarch, something terrible has happened! The second young master is in trouble!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
The Tang family patriarch turned to look.
A young man in tight-fitting attire rushed over as if his backside were on fire.
This person was one of the Tang family's henchmen who had gone out with Tang Feng on business.
The Tang family patriarch raised an eyebrow, "You're back so quickly? How did the matter go?"
"The second young master..." the man in tight-fitting attire stammered.
"Speak!"
The Tang family patriarch's gaze turned cold.
Tang Ren also frowned and put down his phone.
Could something have gone wrong? It shouldn't have, not when Miss Mo was even dispatched!
"Miss Mo rebelled, and the second young master's dantian was crippled by Chen Xuan of Jiangzhou!"
Upon hearing this, the Tang family patriarch and Tang Ren's faces changed simultaneously.
"How is that possible?"
"What? How could this happen? Did you misread it?"
The two could hardly believe the news.
Before the man in tight-fitting attire could speak, a Tang family servant pushed a wheelchair forward. Sitting in the wheelchair was the Tang family patriarch's second son, Tang Feng!
Tang Feng was weak all over due to his crippled dantian and could only sit in a wheelchair!
"Dad, he's telling the truth. My dantian was crippled by Chen Xuan of Jiangzhou."
Tang Feng's teeth chattered, his eyes filled with endless resentment and anger.
The Tang family patriarch looked at the extremely weak Tang Feng and was completely stunned.
He found it difficult to accept this fact, as Tang Feng was the hope of his life.
"Dad, Chen Xuan of Jiangzhou is truly wicked. You must avenge me!" Tang Feng's eyes were full of resentment, and he gnashed his teeth.
The Tang family patriarch's face instantly turned cold. He slammed his palm down, smashing the pear wood table, his expression ferocious, "Chen Xuan of Jiangzhou, you're asking for death! I will tear you into a thousand pieces!"
Whether it was that Grandmaster Yan or the three half-step grandmasters, none of them were from the Tang family. Now that the Tang family finally had a grandmaster of Tang family bloodline, and Chen Xuan had destroyed his hope, how could he not be enraged?
"Dad, this guy is not simple. What should we do?" The third son, Tang Ren, was a little flustered.
"Grandmaster Yan, information has come from the secret chamber. He will be out of seclusion soon!" the Tang family patriarch said in a deep voice.
The third son, Tang Ren, grabbed onto a lifesaver and shouted excitedly, "That's great! When Grandmaster Yan comes out of seclusion, he will definitely destroy this guy!"
Tang Feng's eyes also flashed with fierce light, and his face was filled with excitement.
Now, no one was more eager for Chen Xuan to die than him!
...
The third day, which was the Tang family patriarch's sixtieth birthday.
Early in the morning, Chen Xuan was still sleeping when he was woken by a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he saw Xue Chuan standing outside.
"Chen Xuan, the coffin is ready. Please inspect it!" Xue Chuan rubbed his hands, his face full of eagerness.
Chen Xuan frowned, thinking that the Tang family had come to his door, but he didn't expect the coffin to be ready.
"Let's go, let's go down and see how your craftsmanship is," Chen Xuan said with a slight smile.
"Don't worry, if the craftsmanship isn't good, you don't have to pay."
Xue Chuan seemed to have thought of something and immediately shook his head, "No, even if it's not good, you still have to pay. I'm not making money from you."
When they went downstairs, Chen Xuan was stunned by the coffin made of golden silk nanmu. He praised it without reservation, "This is definitely one of the best coffins I've ever seen. Perhaps even an emperor's coffin is not as good as this. It can be considered the Tang family patriarch's good fortune from his past lives to lie in such a coffin."
"Of course, my Xue family's craftsmanship has been passed down for hundreds of years."
Xue Chuan was not being humble; he had the right to be proud.
His Xue family had been crafting coffins for emperors for generations and deserved such praise.
As time was almost up, Chen Xuan dragged the coffin out.
Xue Chuan's lonely figure stood in front of the coffin shop and waved goodbye to Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan nodded, turned, and left.
Xue Chuan looked at Chen Xuan's receding back, his expression changing slightly. Finally, he gritted his teeth, seemingly making a decision, and quickly followed.
"What are you doing here?"
Chen Xuan glanced at Xue Chuan, who had caught up, with a hint of confusion.
Xue Chuan chuckled and said, "The road is so long, and the coffin is so heavy. My shop has a policy of door-to-door delivery. I'll deliver it for you!"
Chen Xuan hesitated slightly and nodded, "Alright!"
Xue Chuan reached out and grabbed the coffin, which Chen Xuan was having trouble carrying, as if he were picking up a chick, and lifted it with one hand.
His expression was calm, and he walked briskly!
The Tang family.
At this moment, the place was adorned with lanterns and decorations, with people coming and going, making it very lively.
In the open space in front of the gate, row upon row of luxury cars were parked, with hundreds of them in total.
Each luxury car was extremely expensive, and it would be difficult to see so many luxury cars at a car show at once.
The Tang family was famous in Zhongyuan Province for their martial arts. Taking advantage of this opportunity to recruit disciples, many wealthy individuals brought their sons to congratulate the Tang family patriarch on his birthday, hoping to take this opportunity to apprentice themselves to the Tang family, and for this purpose, they had prepared extremely valuable gifts.
"Mr. Li from Puhe Real Estate presents the Tang family patriarch with Tang Sancai worth ten million yuan, wishing the Tang family patriarch a long life!"
"Mr. Wu from Tianyang Textile presents the Tang family patriarch with a pair of jade Ruyi worth fifteen million yuan, wishing the Tang family patriarch good health!"
"......"
Many tycoons worth billions, dressed in suits, congratulated the Tang family patriarch with flattering smiles.
The Tang family patriarch was beaming, sweeping away his previous gloom, "Thank you all!"
Tang Ren, who was responsible for greeting guests, also smiled and said, "Everyone, please be seated!"
Just then, a booming voice rang out!
"Chen Xuan of Jiangzhou! Presenting the Tang family patriarch with a coffin made of golden silk nanmu, wishing the Tang family patriarch an unseeing death!"
