Chapter 263 Must Win, Cannot Lose
Chen Xuan showed a look of surprise, then understood, and said with a wry smile, "Zhao Jing, what are you thinking? How could I have improper thoughts about you?"
Zhao Jing was slightly stunned, showing some doubt, "Then... what do you mean?"
Chen Xuan had to explain, "I kept you here because I wanted to inquire about the ancient ruins."
"Ah?"
Zhao Jing's face immediately turned red.
It turned out she had misunderstood Chen Xuan.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became a bit strange.
Chen Xuan coughed twice, breaking the awkwardness, "Let's talk about the ancient ruins."
Zhao Jing took a breath, calmed herself down, and with a blush, her face became serious:
"I didn't expect you to know about ancient ruins too, so I'll tell you."
"Ancient ruins refer to some mysterious places in the world, perhaps a thousand-year-old tomb, or an ancient city lost in the river of history. They are usually untraceable, but sometimes, due to natural phenomena like earthquakes or floods, or possibly other events, they appear in the eyes of the world."
"For some reason, every time ancient ruins appear, they bring forth many coveted items, such as divine medicines or ancient magical artifacts, attracting many people to fight over them."
Chen Xuan couldn't help but frown, "Since they are untraceable, how did your Zhao family know that the ancient ruins in Jiangzhou are about to open?"
Zhao Jing saw through Chen Xuan's confusion, "This was actually calculated by a golden badge fortune teller. That fortune teller, in order to sell the news at a good price, set an exorbitant price, but no one could afford it. Finally, a family from the capital took the lead, joined forces with the four major families of the North, and bought the news."
"However, the news somehow leaked out, and our Zhao family coincidentally learned that the ancient ruins in Jiangzhou are about to appear. It is rumored that among the ancient ruins appearing in Jiangzhou this time, there is a divine medicine that can prolong life by a hundred years. This life-extending divine medicine is the most attractive, and it has already attracted the attention of many major families."
Chen Xuan nodded and continued to ask, "Did that golden badge fortune teller calculate whether the ancient ruins in Jiangzhou are a tomb or an ancient city?"
Zhao Jing replied, "It is said that the ancient ruins in Jiangzhou are an ancient tomb. The owner of this tomb was a very famous feng shui master. We are here to scout, but according to the news, it will only open at the end of the year. We have finished scouting, and we plan to return to the Zhao family tomorrow."
Chen Xuan secretly analyzed Zhao Jing's words, which also confirmed Su Qian's words.
It seemed that in this ancient tomb, there was indeed a life-extending divine medicine!
Chen Xuan said faintly, "Thank you, Miss Zhao, for telling me the truth."
Zhao Jing nodded and turned to leave.
As she reached the door, Zhao Jing suddenly stopped.
She playfully winked at Chen Xuan, "If you're willing, I won't refuse."
After saying that, Zhao Jing blushed and quickly walked out of the room.
Chen Xuan's mouth twitched.
In the evening, Chen Xuan finally had some free time and opened the rosewood box given by Xue Chuan. As expected, there was also an ancient jade in this rosewood box!
Judging by the texture, this ancient jade was the same as the ancient jade left to him by his father, Chen Jianhua.
If he guessed correctly, Xue Chuan's grandfather, Old Man Xue Jiu, was also cursed by the Ten Yama Kings.
Chen Xuan carefully put away the heavy jade pendant, and for a moment, felt that the mission on his shoulders had become heavier.
Early the next morning, Zhao Jing and her group set off to return to the Zhao family.
It was the weekend, and there were no servants at home. Su Yunxi personally took out the dirty clothes, preparing to wash them, while Chen Xuan, with rare leisure, drank tea and watched television.
"Chen Xuan!"
Suddenly, Su Yunxi's anxious cry came from upstairs.
Chen Xuan was startled, dropped his teacup, and rushed upstairs.
Upon arriving upstairs, Chen Xuan saw Su Yunxi standing in front of the washing machine, holding a dirty laundry in one hand and a business card in the other.
Chen Xuan was stunned, then asked, "Yunxi, what's wrong?"
"Chen Xuan, where did you get this business card?"
Su Yunxi held up the business card in her hand and put it in front of Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan recognized the business card clearly, it was the one given to him by Song Minting.
He didn't think much of it and continued, "I met her on the plane to the Tang family in Zhongyuan. I heard she was from the Song family and was coming to invest in Jiangnan Province, so she left a business card."
"So that's what it is. I thought you knew her well." Su Yunxi was a little disappointed.
Chen Xuan was stunned, "Yunxi, you know her?"
Su Yunxi shook her head and smiled, "I don't know her, but the Song family is wealthy and has assets of 80 billion yuan. They are planning to invest in Jiangnan Province recently, and the Su family happens to have several projects they want to cooperate with the Song family on. I asked someone to talk to the general manager in charge of these projects who came to Jiangzhou, but I was met with a cold shoulder."
"Song Minting is the person in charge of the Song family in Jiangnan Province. If you knew her, it would be no problem to get these projects. It's a pity that you only met her by chance."
"Yunxi, perhaps, I can help you." Chen Xuan's heart stirred, and he smiled.
"Hmm?"
Su Yunxi frowned, looking a bit confused.
After all, it was just a chance encounter, would Song Minting give Chen Xuan this favor?
"I'll make a phone call and try."
Saying that, Chen Xuan took out his phone and dialed Song Minting's number.
Chen Xuan explained the situation to Song Minting, who readily agreed.
He hung up the phone and said to Su Yunxi, "Song Minting said that tomorrow you should have someone contact the project manager. She has already given instructions, and the designated cooperation partners for these projects are the Su family."
"Really?" Su Yunxi's beautiful eyes widened.
"It's absolutely true," Chen Xuan smiled.
Su Yunxi looked at Chen Xuan's confident smile and said happily, "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to contact the Song family's project manager now!"
Soon, Su Yunxi received a reply from the other side, her emotions a little excited, "Great!"
"What's wrong, Yunxi?" Chen Xuan frowned.
Su Yunxi smiled and said, "The person in charge who refused to meet the Su family before has agreed to meet tomorrow."
"That's great!" Chen Xuan was also happy for Su Yunxi.
Su Yunxi looked at Chen Xuan, her beautiful eyes shining with brilliance, not expecting Chen Xuan to have such great influence.
After a day of rest, early the next morning, Black Tiger called, informing that the Qingcheng Martial Arts School and the Huangshan Martial Arts School were going to have a competition today!
Chen Xuan changed into clean clothes and walked out of the villa. Coincidentally, Black Tiger was driving and stopped by the roadside. Chen Xuan got into the car, and the car slowly headed towards the Martial Alliance.
"Black Tiger, how is Xuanji Hall developing recently?" Chen Xuan asked in the car.
Chen Xuan was very concerned about the development of Xuanji Hall, after all, it was his first martial arts force.
Black Tiger smiled, "Chen Xuan, with the foundation laid by the medicinal pills, Xuanji Hall has already recruited quite a few martial artists. Recently, many people have expressed their intention to join, but there are still those who are observing, clearly not fully trusting Xuanji Hall. If we can win against the Huangshan Martial Arts School today, these people will definitely join Xuanji Hall!"
Chen Xuan nodded in agreement.
This time, it seemed to be helping the Qingcheng Martial Arts School and thus drawing them into Xuanji Hall, but in fact, it was also a form of advertising for Xuanji Hall. Therefore, this battle, they must win, cannot lose!
