Chapter 257 No Need for Rescue if Dead
Chen Xuan followed the sound and looked over.
He saw a hale and hearty old man with a face like a child and a tall stature walking in, surrounded by a group of people.
Upon his arrival, his aura was immense, making the people around him dizzy, as if a large stone was pressed against their chests. This was even with him restraining his aura; otherwise, many people would have been unable to withstand the pressure and would have spat blood.
Behind him was Tang Feng. His face was ashen, and although his body was weak, he could already stand and walk without relying on a wheelchair.
"Master Yan!"
"Congratulations on Master Yan's emergence from seclusion!"
Many people stepped forward to greet him.
Even the Tang family head smiled and walked over to welcome Master Yan, "Elder Yan!"
None of the guests were surprised. It was common knowledge that Elder Yan had contributed significantly to the Tang family's firm footing and great reputation in Anyang. It was only natural for the Tang family head to treat him with such courtesy.
"Master Yan, happy birthday!" Master Yan said with a smile.
"You are too kind, Master Yan."
The Tang family head leaned in and whispered a few words to Master Yan, his cold gaze occasionally sweeping towards Chen Xuan.
After a moment, Master Yan nodded, surveyed the crowd, and said expressionlessly:
"Who is Chen Xuan from Jiangzhou?"
The surroundings instantly fell silent, and the guests revealed expressions of interest.
"This is getting interesting, Master Yan is going to settle scores!"
"That kid is too arrogant. Coming all the way from Jiangzhou to cause trouble in Anyang City, isn't that courting death?"
"Hmph, beat that Jiangzhou guy to death!"
Beside them, Zhao Jing bit her rosy lips, leaving a mark, her expression showing a hint of nervousness.
Chen Xuan put down his wine glass and slowly raised his hand, "I am!"
Master Yan's gaze, sharp as lightning, swept over along with the voice and fixed directly on Chen Xuan.
This gaze was as sharp as a sword!
The crowd expected a dramatic scene to erupt momentarily, but to their surprise, Master Yan nodded and said indifferently, "Good, I've noted that!"
With that, Master Yan, surrounded by his entourage, proceeded to the VIP seating area in front and took his seat.
The guests were left bewildered.
"Is that it? Did Master Yan just let this kid off the hook?"
Many people were taken aback by this turn of events.
"What do you know? This is the Tang family head's birthday banquet. You can't shed blood here. They'll definitely deal with this guy after the banquet."
"That's right, it makes sense. Master Yan is showing respect for the Tang family head's banquet, which is why he's letting him live a few more minutes."
"It's over just like that?"
Chen Xuan was also slightly surprised. He didn't overthink it, turned around, and swaggered back to his seat to eat and drink as usual.
"You don't actually think Master Yan is going to let you go, do you?" Zhao Jing said with a hint of annoyance as she saw Chen Xuan still feasting.
"Oh? Are there any other tricks up your sleeve?" Chen Xuan asked.
"Master Yan will definitely deal with you at the end of the banquet," Zhao Jing said with certainty, her beautiful brows furrowed.
"Oh, I see." Chen Xuan's eyes lit up, and he nodded.
Soon, after several rounds of drinks and food, the Tang family head suddenly stood up and cupped his hands:
"Everyone, the Tang family has private matters to attend to. I kindly request everyone to depart quickly. Thank you all!"
"Chen Xuan from Jiangzhou, please stay!"
Many people shot Chen Xuan a gloating look before quickly leaving, afraid of being implicated.
Chen Xuan's brows furrowed.
The Tang family head's gaze turned cold, and he coldly issued an order: "Turn off the surveillance, and have people guard the entrance to prevent that kid from slipping away."
"Dad, I'll go arrange for people immediately."
Tang Ren shot Chen Xuan a fierce look and quickly walked away.
The guests soon departed, almost all of them gone.
The Tang family head glanced at Tang Ren beside him and frowned, "That kid hasn't left, has he?"
"Dad, that kid has been drinking over there the whole time, hasn't moved," Tang Ren said, pointing to Chen Xuan still seated.
"Oh?"
The Tang family head looked over in that direction and indeed saw Chen Xuan drinking, his gaze filled with surprise.
"Dad, I think he's so scared his legs have gone soft and he can't walk," Tang Ren laughed heartily.
The Tang family head nodded in agreement and turned to Master Yan, "Master Yan, the crowd has thinned out."
"Chen Xuan from Jiangzhou, it's time for my Tang family to settle our accounts!"
At this moment, Master Yan stood up, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
If an ordinary person were to meet that gaze, they would be terrified into kneeling on the ground.
"Oh, really? I was thinking the same thing!"
Chen Xuan slammed his wine glass onto the table and suddenly stood up, his gaze fixed directly on Master Yan, showing no sign of yielding.
A potent pressure permeated the air.
The guests who were slow to leave, as well as the Tang family members, had trembling legs, almost falling to their knees.
Zhao Jing took a deep breath and stepped forward, bowing slightly, "Greetings, Uncle Yan!"
"Are you the granddaughter of the Zhao family?"
Master Yan's gaze fell on Zhao Jing, and his brows rose.
"I didn't expect Master Yan to know Little Jing. That's truly wonderful," Zhao Jing's heart rejoiced.
"The Tang and Zhao families are close. You should leave quickly to avoid being caught in the crossfire," Master Yan said, waving his hand.
Zhao Jing quickly said, "Master Yan, Chen Xuan can heal Tang Feng's dantian. If he can heal Tang Feng's dantian, I wonder if Master Yan can spare him for the sake of the Zhao family?"
"What? Heal a crippled dantian?"
Master Yan was taken aback, then sneered, "I've been active for decades, and I've never heard of such miraculous medical skills."
Zhao Jing quickly explained, "Chen Xuan is a divine doctor. I've witnessed his medical skills firsthand; they are incredibly miraculous. I believe he can definitely heal it."
"You can heal Tang Feng's shattered dantian?" Master Yan's eyes narrowed as he stared at Chen Xuan.
"Yes!"
Chen Xuan nodded expressionlessly.
"Good. If you can heal Tang Feng's dantian, I can at least leave you with an intact corpse!" Master Yan's voice was chilling.
Chen Xuan's gaze turned cold!
Zhao Jing was slightly stunned, her pretty face turning somewhat displeased. She said unhappily, "Master Yan, this is going too far. Chen Xuan has already agreed to heal Tang Feng's dantian, so why are the Tang family being so aggressive?"
Master Yan's expression turned cold:
"Miss Zhao, don't think that just because the Tang and Zhao families are close, I wouldn't dare to act against you. Your Zhao family has two internal strength masters, but before I went into seclusion, I could fight them to a draw. Now that I've entered the second-grade master realm, your Tang family's two masters are probably no match for me in a single move!"
"Let me tell you, if you dare to say anything more, even if I kill you right now, your Zhao family won't dare to breathe a word!"
Zhao Jing trembled all over, her eyes showing a flicker of anger and unwillingness.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say more, but Chen Xuan stopped her, saying sternly, "No need! Your Tang family's hope is beyond saving!"
Tang Feng, standing beside them, roared ferociously, "Chen Xuan, stop your nonsense and hurry up and heal my dantian! My Tang family can leave you an intact corpse!"
Master Yan's brows shot up, "What do you mean?"
Chen Xuan glanced at Tang Feng, then slapped him. In an instant, Tang Feng turned into a bloody mist!
This happened in the blink of an eye, before anyone could react to stop it.
"You dare..."
Master Yan was enraged, gnashing his teeth!
Chen Xuan said indifferently, "Once a person is dead, there's no need for rescue."
Gasps of shock rippled through the surroundings.
Chen Xuan actually dared to kill a member of the Tang family in front of Master Yan. Was this guy insane?
