Chapter 136 Board First, Buy Tickets Later
Gu Feng's face instantly flushed with anger, and he slammed the table in front of him, shattering it into pieces.
He gritted his teeth and said, "To dare use me as a stepping stone, he is simply courting death!"
"Young Master Feng, this kid is too arrogant. I will definitely find a way to help you teach him a lesson!" Wen Xuan thought to himself, seeing this as a golden opportunity to curry favor with Gu Feng.
"No need. In the arena, I will personally beat him like a stray dog! Otherwise, I won't be able to quell the hatred in my heart!" Gu Feng said furiously.
Although Gu Feng said this, Wen Xuan had no intention of stopping.
If Gu Feng found out about this afterward and was pleased, securing a spot in the Yanhuang Iron Brigade for him would surely be a done deal!
"Go, invite all your friends in Jiangzhou. On that day, I want everyone to witness Chen Xuan's defeat at my hands!" Gu Feng said coldly.
"Yes, Young Master Feng. Should I also notify some news media?"
"That's not necessary."
...
Su Qian called Chen Xuan to the study.
Su Qian frowned, staring at Chen Xuan, suspecting he had misjudged the person. He said sternly, "Chen Xuan, I know you have some skills. But as far as I know, Gu Feng is a half-step Internal Strength master. To defeat Gu Feng, you probably need at least the strength of an Internal Strength master. How confident are you?"
"Twelve points!" Chen Xuan said lightly.
"What?"
Su Qian's eyebrows shot up. After a moment of hesitation, he said in astonishment, "You're not saying you possess the level of an Internal Strength master, are you?"
Chen Xuan smiled and nodded.
If he were to reveal his true strength, which far surpassed that of an Internal Strength master, Su Qian might have a heart attack.
"Really?"
"Uncle Su, I don't joke with my life."
Su Qian's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Good, good! In your twenties, to reach the level of an Internal Strength master, excellent, excellent!"
He thought to himself: As expected of someone trained by those two fellows. He had worried for nothing.
"Chen Xuan, you should know by now that there are many people secretly coveting Yunxi. You should move in. This way, you can protect Yunxi at all times. After this period, I will also have to go to work. I'll feel more at ease with you here," Su Qian said.
"Mm..."
Chen Xuan nodded. "Alright, I can move in now."
Su Qian slapped his thigh and said with a smile, "Of course, if you have the ability to board the ship first and then buy the ticket, I won't have any objections."
Chen Xuan's foot slipped, and he almost fell.
What kind of father-in-law encourages his son-in-law to do such a thing?
This was probably the first and only one in the world!
...
"What did Dad say to you?"
As Chen Xuan emerged from the study, Su Yunxi walked over and asked softly.
Chen Xuan boldly said with a playful smile, "Dad said I should move into the Su family villa and we can share a bed."
Su Yunxi's cheeks flushed, and she quickly reacted, "Heh, Dad wouldn't say such things. When did you become so bold?"
"Ever since I met you, my courage has grown," Chen Xuan said, rubbing his nose.
"Pfft! Hurry up and move." Su Yunxi spat.
It was clear that Su Qian had also discussed the matter of moving with Su Yunxi.
Then, Chen Xuan drove Su Yunxi's car back home. Moving wasn't a big deal. He packed a few clean clothes, informed Aunt Tang that he was going on a business trip, and left home.
Chen Xuan stood at the villa entrance with his bag, seemingly waiting for someone.
A moment later, Black Tiger arrived with over a dozen men in cars.
"Mr. Chen!"
Black Tiger bowed respectfully and then turned to the people behind him, "Haven't you paid your respects to Mr. Chen yet!"
The people behind him said in unison, "Mr. Chen!"
"Mr. Chen, what do you need me to bring people for?" Black Tiger asked with a smile.
Chen Xuan instructed, "I won't be at the villa for a while. You have your men protect my mother and Aunt Tang. Inform me immediately if there's any slightest disturbance."
Although Song Ping had no memory of anything and the people eyeing Gu Yu were focused on Su Yunxi, he still had to be cautious, which was why he asked Black Tiger to bring people.
"Mr. Chen, rest assured. Even if Aunt Tang goes to buy groceries, I'll have people follow her," Black Tiger vowed.
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes and scanned the men Black Tiger had brought. There was one who was a martial artist, and a beginner at that. He couldn't help but frown, "These are the elites you brought?"
Black Tiger scratched his head, embarrassed. "If they could cultivate Internal Strength, they would have been recruited by major families long ago. Who would follow me?"
"Don't worry, you will in the future! Not only that, but you will also become an Internal Strength martial artist," Chen Xuan said lightly.
Black Tiger asked in surprise, "Are you referring to the Spirit Replenishing Pill?"
Chen Xuan nodded slightly.
Following that, Black Tiger's imagination ran wild, and his eyes widened as he looked at Chen Xuan. Were the people from the Azure Dragon Chamber of Commerce eliminated by Chen Xuan?
He ultimately didn't ask, but he had found his answer.
"Mr. Chen, I will find a pill furnace as soon as possible," Black Tiger said through gritted teeth.
The pill furnace was crucial for him to become an Internal Strength martial artist. Even if he did nothing else, he had to find a pill furnace for Chen Xuan!
"Oh, right, Mr. Chen, there's been a problem with the Earth Injury Pill. It might take a couple more days to sell." Black Tiger said.
"Oh."
Chen Xuan didn't take it too seriously.
Selling the Earth Injury Pill was an unexpected event in itself. Besides, how much could the Earth Injury Pill sell for?
After moving, Chen Xuan had settled into the Su family villa.
The next day, Chen Xuan returned from his morning practice, wiping sweat as he walked into the living room.
He saw Murong Meng sitting on the living room sofa with red eyes, complaining to Su Yunxi. Su Yunxi seemed to hear something that made her stomp her feet in righteous indignation.
It was the first time he had seen Su Yunxi so hateful towards something. He listened in for a while and finally understood what was happening.
It turned out that Old Master Murong had been injured by an Internal Strength martial artist and was in critical condition. Someone was selling a pill that could heal Old Master Murong's internal injuries, demanding a staggering twenty percent of the Murong family's shares.
The Murong family wanted the pill to cure Old Master Murong and consolidate the family's position, but they were unwilling to part with their own shares. The entire family ganged up to pressure Murong Meng's lineage, the only child, to give up shares to save him.
Chen Xuan found the description of the pill odd, as it sounded similar to the Earth Injury Pill he refined, but he didn't think much of it. He didn't intend to interrupt the two girls' heart-to-heart.
"Yunxi, Miss Murong, I'm going upstairs first."
He greeted them and prepared to head upstairs.
Su Yunxi subconsciously nodded. Then, she suddenly saw Chen Xuan. Wasn't Chen Xuan a divine doctor?
She immediately called out, "Chen Xuan, wait a moment!"
"What is it, Yunxi?" Chen Xuan stopped and turned, frowning.
"Chen Xuan, didn't you also save Uncle's life? You are also skilled in medicine. Why don't you accompany Xiao Meng to see if you can treat Old Master Murong's injuries?" Su Yunxi said.
