Chapter 96 Patriarch Li Passes Away
This was naturally not a vow of the Dragon Tiger Hall, but a karma talisman created by Chen Xuan.
Although Yu Tiansheng was fully confident in winning, he was extremely vigilant upon seeing the talisman in Chen Xuan's hand, as he had witnessed the wonders of Feng Shui and Xuan術, and he firmly believed in Feng Shui metaphysics.
To this end, Yu Tiansheng also made a phone call to the Feng Shui master who was guarding the Yu family.
Chen Xuan waved his hand and deliberately provoked, "Patriarch Yu, if you don't dare to make a bet, then forget it. I won't make things difficult for you. Just take your simple-minded son and leave the Su family."
Simple-minded son?
Yu Feiyang had never been so humiliated in his life and immediately wanted to curse, but remembering Chen Xuan's previous warning, he managed to suppress it.
Yu Tiansheng hung up the phone, seemingly having received some news, and said dismissively, "Fine, let's make a vow. I was worried you wouldn't honor your word in the end."
Then, the two made a vow to the karma talisman. Chen Xuan then carefully put away the karma talisman. If Yu Tiansheng reneged, he would suffer heavenly retribution, provided the karma talisman remained intact.
Seeing Chen Xuan's careful action of putting away the karma talisman, Yu Tiansheng sneered inwardly, "What kind of scribbled nonsense is this? Master Feng said there are no such things as vows in this world!"
After the discussion, they were about to eat. Zhou Tiancheng pulled Chen Xuan aside and sighed repeatedly, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you're so self-righteous, and something bad will happen. My cousin could save you once, but she can't save you a second time! You're something else!"
Chen Xuan rubbed his nose and smiled without saying anything.
"You're still smiling? Brother-in-law, I know you can fight, but you also need to consider that at this level, fists can no longer solve problems. I heard you rashly hit a vice president today. If it weren't for my cousin bailing you out, you would have lost your job."
Zhou Tiancheng thumped his chest and wailed incessantly, "And now you've rashly made a bet. I heard that the Immortal Doctor is elusive, and there's only one person in the martial world who acts as his spokesperson, but that Immortal Doctor sees no one. Even my cousin might not be able to get his attention..."
"Alright, don't worry about me. You'll understand when the time comes."
Chen Xuan knew that Zhou Tiancheng meant well, but it was of no use, so he interrupted Zhou Tiancheng.
Zhou Tiancheng was stunned and his gaze lingered on Chen Xuan for a few seconds.
Could it be that Chen Xuan had prepared some trump card?
But then he thought that without Su Yunxi, Chen Xuan wouldn't even be standing here. He could only shake his head, hoping Su Yunxi would have a solution.
He sighed and turned to leave.
Chen Xuan felt out of place here, so he slipped outside and squatted on the steps to smoke. After smoking two cigarettes and seeing that the time was about right, he prepared to go in for dinner.
Just as he threw the cigarette butt on the ground, he saw Su Yunxi walking towards him from not far away.
Her eyes were slightly red, and her pretty face carried a hint of nervousness and disappointment.
Clearly, she had just had an argument with Jiang Biyun.
This was the first time Chen Xuan had seen Su Yunxi in such a poor state, and his heart ached as if pierced by needles.
"Why aren't you going in for dinner?" Su Yunxi asked.
"I feel uncomfortable inside, and it's not good to smoke in the room," Chen Xuan said lightly.
He preferred eating street food, drinking heartily, and eating meat, rather than this very constrained and formal atmosphere.
Su Yunxi clearly didn't think so. She took a breath and said, "Chen Xuan, you don't need to worry so much. I've already sent people to find that Immortal Doctor. I believe there will be results soon. Let's go, let's eat first."
Chen Xuan was stunned. At this point, Su Yunxi was still trying to comfort him, which moved him.
He stared at Su Yunxi and said lightly, "Yunxi, you don't need to worry about me so much. I have my own plans for doing this."
Su Yunxi looked at Chen Xuan in surprise, then shook her head and sighed, "You really shouldn't have agreed to my mother's request."
"However, I think this is a very good request," Chen Xuan rubbed his nose.
"Hmm?" Su Yunxi glared at Chen Xuan and said irritably, "What time is it now, and you still call it a good request? Do you really want me to marry Yu Feiyang?"
Chen Xuan said lightly, "Yunxi, don't rush. Think about it, if your mother hadn't made this request, she probably wouldn't have let me into the Su family. Now, at least there's an opportunity."
Su Yunxi was stunned, her beautiful eyes flashing. She slowly nodded, "You do have a point."
"So, this is a good opportunity, and we should be happy instead of looking glum," Chen Xuan said.
Su Yunxi's eyes lit up, and she smiled, clenching her delicate fists. "It is indeed a good opportunity. You're just a fake. If my father shows up, there might be no room for maneuver. Now, as long as we find that Immortal Doctor through some means, there might be a chance to foil the Yu family's plans."
Chen Xuan: "..."
Su Yunxi excitedly said, "Chen Xuan, let's go in quickly. After eating, I still have things to do."
After dinner, Su Yunxi couldn't wait to leave the Su family, mysteriously going off to do something. Chen Xuan asked, but Su Yunxi wouldn't say.
Since Su Yunxi wasn't at the villa, Chen Xuan naturally wouldn't stay long and asked Zhou Tiancheng to drive him home.
As soon as he got home, his phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID, it was Bai Yong's call.
It seemed there was progress regarding seeing Patriarch Li!
Chen Xuan answered the phone, and Bai Yong's anxious voice immediately came through, "Junior Brother Chen Xuan, something bad has happened, Patriarch Li has passed away!"
"What?!"
Chen Xuan's heart trembled, and he stood up abruptly, his hand holding the phone also trembling.
He took a breath, managed to control his emotions, and asked with a trembling voice, "Senior Brother, you went to see Grandpa, and with your medical skills, Grandpa shouldn't have passed away so quickly."
Bai Yong said furiously, "I went to see Patriarch Li. Although Patriarch Li's condition was serious and his body was frail, he could still be treated. I prescribed Chinese medicine for Patriarch Li, but when I went again today, for some reason, the Li family did not decoct the medicine I prescribed for Patriarch Li. Patriarch Li passed away today due to lung failure."
This was clearly indirect murder by the Li family!
"Li family! It seems you are seeking your own death!"
Chen Xuan clenched his fists, the veins on his arms bulging like spreading earthworms.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xuan drove straight to the Li family and strode into the Li mansion.
A crowd had gathered at the Li family villa, almost all of them Li family members. A mourning hall was set up in the main hall, and occasionally, friends of the late Patriarch Li came to pay their respects, but few people noticed Chen Xuan.
The Li family was not immersed in grief. Except for two or three juniors wearing mourning clothes and sitting before the coffin for the sake of the Li family's reputation.
The others were either playing games or chatting.
Even more so, there were several tables set up not far away, and some Li family members were playing Pai Gow and Mahjong, shouting loudly and enjoying themselves immensely, as if this was not a mourning hall but an entertainment venue.
Liu Qing, whom he had met at the mall that day, was also there. He intimately held Li Jiajia and sat by the mahjong table, with the Li family members around him fawning over him and feeding him cards.
Finally, a Li family member noticed Chen Xuan and pointed at him, whispering, "Look, who is that? Why is he here? Could it be for our Li family's inheritance?"
