Chapter 103 The Karmic Talisman Manifests
"Hahaha, this is truly a huge joke."
Yu Tiansheng laughed in extreme anger.
He stood up to leave, but suddenly stopped. He said to Jiang Biyun, "Madam Jiang, our Yu family has lost this round because this brat is cunning and treacherous. He also injured Feiyang and my brother. I will definitely retaliate with all my might in the future. If innocent people are harmed, Madam Jiang, please do not blame me!"
After speaking, Yu Tiansheng turned and left.
Jiang Biyun stared at the retreating backs of the Yu family, her expression somewhat grim.
"Mom, Chen Xuan has obtained the contract, and according to our previous agreement..." Su Yunxi said.
"You have no idea the amount of trouble you've caused!"
Jiang Biyun's face turned cold. After saying this, she turned and left.
Following closely, a vast convoy departed from Bailu Manor.
"Miss Su, Mr. Chen, shall I drive you away?" Hei Hu asked softly.
"No need, I'll drive Yunxi back later," Chen Xuan waved his hand.
Hei Hu understood and said no more.
Immediately after, Chen Xuan drove Su Yunxi towards the Su family villa.
"Chen Xuan, I didn't expect you to actually get the contract."
Sitting in the car, Su Yunxi gazed at Chen Xuan's profile, her beautiful eyes blinking lightly. She spoke in a warning tone, "Tell me, are you still hiding something from me?"
"I am indeed that Immortal Doctor," Chen Xuan said seriously, meeting Su Yunxi's gaze.
Su Yunxi wore a disbelieving expression and waved her hand, "Alright, alright, you don't need to put on an act with me."
Then, her gaze shifted back to Chen Xuan, and she chuckled, "I didn't expect you to be so wicked, waiting at Bailu Manor to humiliate the Liu family... But, I like it, hehe, it's too interesting."
Chen Xuan scratched his head and chuckled dryly.
He really wanted to tell Su Yunxi that he had stumbled upon it by accident. He figured if he said it, Su Yunxi wouldn't believe him, so he might as well not say anything.
Seeing Chen Xuan's stern face, Su Yunxi thought he was worried about the Yu family's retaliation. She smiled and said, "The Yu family is indeed a bit difficult to deal with, but not impossible. You don't need to worry so much."
Chen Xuan remained silent.
The Yu family's retaliation?
Heh, from now on, the Yu family should be the one having a headache.
The thought of the karmic talisman's tormenting power on those who broke their vows made him shiver involuntarily.
Chen Xuan sent Su Yunxi to the villa and then drove back to his own villa.
As soon as Chen Xuan arrived at his villa, Zhou Tiancheng scurried over.
*Knock, knock, knock!*
A series of knocks sounded on the door.
Chen Xuan opened the door, saw Zhou Tiancheng, and frowned, asking, "Why are you here?"
Zhou Tiancheng said with a grin, "Brother-in-law, I heard you got the contract from the Immortal Doctor today, so I've come to congratulate you! The Immortal Doctor is now spoken of as almost divine. With you obtaining the contract, Yi Shen Pharmaceutical will reach new heights, and you will truly be a recognized figure in Yi Shen Pharmaceutical!"
"Spit it out if you have something to say. I don't have time to chat with you," Chen Xuan interrupted Zhou Tiancheng's flattery with a wave of his hand.
This guy never visits without a reason, he must have something he needs.
Zhou Tiancheng gave an embarrassed chuckle, "Only brother-in-law truly understands me."
Then, Zhou Tiancheng got straight to the point, clearing his throat twice, "Tonight, I'm hosting an antique appraisal event in Jiangbei City. There will be something valuable there, but I'm not entirely sure about it. Brother-in-law, you must help me take a good look!"
"If it's something good, I must bid for it and make myself proud."
Zhou Tiancheng clenched his fists, looking indignant. It was clear he hadn't recovered from the trauma of being cheated.
"Boring," Chen Xuan waved his hand dismissively, "I've offended the Yu family now. Aren't you afraid of being implicated?"
"I am afraid..."
Zhou Tiancheng nodded, but then earnestly said, "However, you are my brother-in-law. Even if something happens, I can't abandon you."
Zhou Tiancheng's words touched Chen Xuan somewhat. "Alright, then I'll accompany you."
Zhou Tiancheng became excited, "Brother-in-law, that's great!"
Suddenly, Zhou Tiancheng thought of something and said, "I heard my dad say you are looking for spiritual herbs. I know a wealthy individual in Jiangbei who has a thousand-year-old Golden Silk Deer Antler. He will also be present at this antique appraisal event."
Golden Silk Deer Antler?!
Chen Xuan's gaze sharpened.
Aside from the spiritual herb Bai Yong mentioned which was in the provincial capital and temporarily inaccessible, this Golden Silk Deer Antler was also a spiritual herb he needed!
This antique appraisal event, I, Chen Xuan, am definitely going!
In the afternoon, Chen Xuan eagerly drove towards Jiangbei City.
...
The Yu family.
Yu Tiansheng slammed his palm on the table, his fury erupting. "Master Feng, that brat actually dared to trick me. You must find a way to kill him!"
Master Feng, sitting on the sofa opposite, gave a sinister grin, his eyes flashing with coldness. "Patriarch Yu, help me investigate his birthdate and time clearly, then have someone find a strand of his hair or a piece of clothing he often wears. You can tell him to die at the third watch tonight, and I guarantee he won't live to see the fifth watch!"
Yu Tiansheng was stunned, then a look of joy appeared on his face. "Master Feng, good, I'll have someone look for it right away!"
Just as Yu Tiansheng raised his hand to summon his capable subordinates, he suddenly felt dizzy, his steps unsteady, as if he were about to faint.
A servant next to him rushed to help support Yu Tiansheng, and only then did Yu Tiansheng stabilize himself.
"Perhaps it's because I was angered by that brat and my liver qi is disturbed."
Yu Tiansheng didn't pay it much mind, pushed away the servant, and walked away. He hadn't taken two steps when a sinister black mist surged up, instantly engulfing Yu Tiansheng.
"Ah—"
His head throbbed intensely, and his whole body felt as if it were being gnawed by ten thousand ants. His face contorted in a pained struggle, and he opened his mouth to let out a piercing roar.
"Master Feng, save me!"
Yu Tiansheng rolled on the ground in agony, grabbed Master Feng's thigh, and pleaded.
Master Feng, looking at the dense black mist surrounding Yu Tiansheng, was startled. "You... what's going on? How can there be so much ghostly energy?"
Yu Tiansheng shook his head desperately, "I don't know."
Master Feng's brows furrowed in thought. After a moment, his gaze sharpened, and he declared with certainty, "No, this isn't ghostly energy, it's a heavenly punishment! It's the law of karma!"
"Heavenly punishment? How could I incur heavenly punishment?"
Yu Tiansheng suddenly remembered Chen Xuan's words and cried out in terror, "Earlier, I made a bet with that little brat Chen Xuan, and he used a vow curse!"
"Not good! I've been tricked! That wasn't some vow curse, but the renowned Karmic Talisman!" Master Feng's mind raced, and he immediately understood what was happening, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
The Karmic Talisman, world-destroying, endlessly karmic.
Upon hearing the words "Karmic Talisman," Yu Tiansheng was so enraged he wanted to vomit blood.
He had mocked Chen Xuan for carefully holding a useless talisman earlier. He never expected it wasn't a vow curse at all, but a Karmic Talisman.
Yu Tiansheng couldn't afford to think about anything else. Clutching his head, which felt like it was about to split, he knelt before Master Feng. "Master Feng, you are a Feng Shui master, knowledgeable and skilled in the profound arts. Please quickly find a way to save me!"
Master Feng said, "There is only one way to save you!"
"What way?" Yu Tiansheng grasped at the straw like a drowning man.
"Fulfill your promise!" Master Feng said word by word.
"Have me kneel and call that brat 'Dad'? No... I am the head of the Yu family, the head of a prestigious family in the provincial capital. How can I kneel to a cuckold..."
Yu Tiansheng shook his head desperately. Mid-sentence, he was suddenly struck by intense pain, as if small hands were cutting his flesh. He let out a piercing scream.
"Ah—"
"I'll kneel! I'll call him Dad!"
Yu Tiansheng screamed despairingly, "Someone, quickly find out Chen Xuan's whereabouts!"
