Chapter 169 Heading to the Provincial Capital
Chen Xuan was stunned, and said indifferently, "Yes!"
"Good, I'll give your Chen family some face, but next time you won't be so lucky. Perhaps Lord Yama will personally visit to collect Su Qian's soul."
Black Impermanence left with White Impermanence after saying this.
White Impermanence grumbled as he walked, "Damn it, my luck is so bad, to run into Chen family members twice in a row... Unlucky... I'll find someone to switch shifts with later..."
Chen Xuan was stunned. Since when did the Chen family have such a deterrent force?
What shocked him even more was that Yama's status in the Underworld was like an emperor's, and he would personally come?
Also, encountering Chen family members for the second time, then who was the first Chen family member he met? Was it his father, Chen Jianhua?
Chen Xuan found it difficult to digest this information for a moment.
"Uncle Su, Uncle Su..."
Chen Xuan couldn't bother thinking about anything else and rushed to check on Su Qian. However, looking at Su Qian's physical condition, he didn't know how to proceed.
His medical skills were extraordinary, but at this moment, Su Qian's lifespan had reached its end. Unless he could find medicinal ingredients to increase lifespan, otherwise...
At this moment, Su Qian slowly opened his heavy eyelids and forced out a smile, "Chen Xuan, you don't have to worry..."
As he spoke, Su Qian took out a dark green medicinal pill brimming with vitality from his inner pocket and immediately swallowed it. The pill melted upon entering his mouth, and vitality rapidly filled his body. The strong deathly aura receded like a tide back into the curse of the Ten Halls of Yama.
Su Qian's pale complexion gradually turned ruddy. Apart from losing a bit of weight, he showed no signs of illness.
Chen Xuan opened his Heavenly Eye and found that Su Qian still had decades of lifespan left. However, considering the erupting deathly aura that was constantly devouring Su Qian's lifespan, he couldn't help but frown. Su Qian probably wouldn't last more than a few months!
However, fortunately, Su Qian still had those pills to replenish his vitality.
But the pills would eventually run out. He couldn't help but worry. Medicinal ingredients that replenished vitality were more than ten times rarer than spiritual herbs.
Of course, it was possible he was overthinking. Given Su Qian's mysterious identity, he might be able to find such elixirs with ease.
"Uncle Su, are you alright?" Chen Xuan asked worriedly.
"Chen Xuan, I'm fine now. I have to thank you this time. If it weren't for you, my old bones would have surely given out here," Su Qian said, a hint of relief from surviving a disaster on his face.
"Sit," he gestured for Chen Xuan to sit beside him.
Chen Xuan sat down and couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Su, this should be the curse of the Ten Halls of Yama. How did you get such a severe curse?"
Su Qian looked blank for a moment, then shook his head.
Chen Xuan didn't press further.
"Chen Xuan, my time is short. From now on, I entrust Yunxi to you," Su Qian's voice carried a hint of weariness.
"Uncle Su, you still have those pills," Chen Xuan said.
"The pills will eventually run out. These pills are refined from medicinal ingredients that increase lifespan, and they are extremely rare in the world. It took a great deal of effort to refine these few small pills," Su Qian shook his head, a bitter smile on his lips.
Chen Xuan's heart sank. It seemed his earlier thoughts were correct; even with Su Qian's status and position, finding such world-rare medicinal ingredients was difficult.
He had initially thought that Su Ning's words on the phone were deliberately meant to humiliate Su Qian, but now it seemed that Su Ning was right, and Su Qian really couldn't hold on for much longer.
"Uncle Su, I will definitely find the King of Longevity Herbs for you," Chen Xuan said solemnly.
Su Qian smiled, "It's good that you have this intention."
The next morning, Chen Xuan received a call from Bai Yong.
"Junior Brother Chen, they called from the provincial capital and asked us to go over!"
Chen Xuan's heart rejoiced and he said eagerly, "Then let's set off for the provincial capital immediately."
He had been waiting for this matter for over a month, and it had finally arrived!
If he could obtain the sixth spiritual herb, the poison on his mother Song Ping could be completely removed, and Song Ping would become a normal person!
Chen Xuan shared this news with Su Yunxi, who was also very happy and told Chen Xuan to go early and return soon.
Su Qian, however, cautioned, "Chen Xuan, when you go to the provincial capital this time, you must act cautiously. While I'm not in the provincial capital, some demons and monsters might jump out to cause you trouble."
Chen Xuan was stunned and immediately understood Su Qian's meaning.
He said indifferently, "Uncle Su, please rest assured, no matter what demons or monsters there are, I will cut them down!"
"Good, you have ambition. When you return, we'll discuss your engagement with Yunxi," Su Qian's eyes brightened, pleased with Chen Xuan's confidence.
Sitting on the plane flying to the provincial capital, Chen Xuan looked at Jiangzhou, which was gradually being swallowed by the clouds, and murmured, "Mom, this time, I will definitely let you soberly drink the daughter-in-law tea that Yunxi offers you at the engagement banquet!"
"Dear passengers, we are about to arrive at the provincial capital. Please fasten your seatbelts!"
Not long after, an announcement in the plane informed them of the imminent landing in the provincial capital.
They hadn't brought much luggage and didn't need to wait for it. Fifteen minutes later, Chen Xuan and Bai Yong walked towards the airport exit.
"Chen Xuan! Chen Xuan! I'm here, here!"
As soon as they reached the arrival gate, a cheer erupted.
Hearing someone call his name, Chen Xuan thought it was an illusion. He didn't remember having any friends in the provincial capital.
Chen Xuan still looked towards the source of the sound.
He saw a cute, beautiful girl exuding youthful energy, enthusiastically waving her snow-white arms.
However, compared to when they met in Jiangzhou, this girl had removed her heavy makeup and was wearing a white dress, looking extremely pure.
Her skin was fair, and her features were like exquisite jade carvings. She was clearly a beauty in the making.
Beside her stood a young man holding a sign that read "Welcome Chen Xuan!". When he saw Chen Xuan, a hint of undetectable venom flashed in his eyes.
It was none other than Wei Chang Geng's beloved daughter, Wei Linlin. As for the young man dressed in designer brands, his presence beside Wei Linlin indicated he was no ordinary person.
Bai Yong recognized Wei Linlin and his eyes widened in surprise, "Junior Brother Chen, you actually managed to get Officer Wei's beloved daughter to pick you up. Senior Brother is truly impressed!"
"Old man, your eyesight is good, you actually recognize me," Wei Linlin said with a chuckle.
"I've met Miss Wei once at a banquet, and I've always remembered her," Bai Yong replied with a smile.
Chen Xuan was confused. He glanced at Wei Linlin and couldn't help but frown and ask, "Why are you here?"
"Hahaha, I'm a divine calculator, I can foresee everything. What is there that I don't know?" Wei Linlin said with a playful grin.
Chen Xuan rolled his eyes and said with a look of disdain, "Alright, you can go. We have important business to attend to."
This Wei Linlin was a little vixen who caused trouble. If she followed him, she would likely bring him a lot of problems. Even the young man beside her was already resentful of him due to jealousy, and who knew what would happen in the future.
Wei Linlin pouted, "Tch, Sister Yunxi called me and told me to wait for you here. Do you dare to chase me away?"
Chen Xuan immediately understood what was happening. It turned out Su Yunxi had called her.
He waved his hand; "You're too young, hurry back. Some things are not for you to get involved in."
Upon hearing this, Wei Linlin immediately became unhappy. She puffed out her small chest and said proudly, "You look down on me. How am I small? In class, I'm ranked highly!"
Chen Xuan: "......"
