Chapter 114 The Touchstone
"You dare to talk back?!" Yu Tiansheng glared at Yu Feiyang.
Yu Feiyang shrunk his neck, opened his mouth, and then closed it again.
Yu Tiansheng pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, and shouted excitedly, "I get it! Su Qian probably also wants to test this live-in son-in-law's strength, wanting to use our Yu family as a touchstone. If our Yu family wins, the Su family probably won't say anything."
Yu Feiyang became excited, "Then if we deal with Chen Xuan, the Su family won't interfere?"
"The Su family shouldn't interfere."
Yu Feiyang shouted excitedly, "I've already contacted assassins from the martial world, they can definitely get rid of that Chen Xuan!"
Yu Tiansheng shook his head, "He's Su Qian's chosen son-in-law, he's definitely not simple. Those so-called assassins will surely be useless."
Yu Feiyang, having witnessed Chen Xuan's methods, also felt that those so-called assassins were no match for him. He suddenly deflated like a punctured ball, "Dad, what should we do?"
A cold glint flashed in Yu Tiansheng's eyes, "We'll discuss it with Master Feng later. Don't forget Master Feng's methods!"
...
In the study.
"Sit..."
Su Qian walked into the study and said lightly. But when he turned around, he saw Chen Xuan already sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. He couldn't help but frown, and said with a wry smile, "I didn't intend to be late, I just rushed over."
"What does Uncle Su want to talk to me about?" Chen Xuan nodded and asked.
Su Qian sat down on the sofa, his expression turning serious. "Although our two families are well-matched, if I had known about your reputation beforehand, I might not have agreed to your marriage with Yunxi."
These words, in Chen Xuan's ears, did not cause any humiliation. Instead, a hint of surprise welled up from the bottom of his heart.
His Chen family was well-matched with the powerful Su family of the provincial capital?
Was it because of his father Chen Jianhua's status as a grandmaster in the feng shui world?
Su Qian continued, "Now the Yu family must hate you to the bone and will definitely try to deal with you. As far as I know, the feng shui master that the Yu family worships is very powerful. Do you have confidence?"
"Uncle Su, you don't want Yunxi to become a widow, do you?" Chen Xuan said with a smile.
Su Qian replied without hesitation, "If something happens to you, I'll just find another son-in-law for Yunxi. Besides, your reputation is not good, and it would tarnish the Su family's honor."
Chen Xuan's mouth twitched.
His future father-in-law was quite ruthless.
He could also tell that his future father-in-law wanted to test his strength.
"Instead of eating downstairs, why are you eating in the study? I don't know what you're thinking."
At this moment, a complaining voice sounded.
Immediately after, Jiang Biyun, followed by several servants, entered the study with dishes.
She snorted and glanced at Chen Xuan, her beautiful eyes flashing with a hidden cold glint, as if some rune flashed past.
Saying that, she picked up a bowl of rice and placed it heavily in front of Chen Xuan, glaring at him. Then she served Su Qian a bowl of rice and placed it in front of him, sneering, "Su Qian, you've really found me a good son-in-law!"
Su Qian laughed awkwardly, "Chen Xuan, don't mind. Your aunt is in a bit of a bad mood."
Chen Xuan smiled faintly and said, "I don't mind. If anyone is to blame, it's the Yu family."
"Hmm?" Su Qian frowned, showing some confusion, not understanding why Chen Xuan said that.
Chen Xuan chanted a Qingxin Incantation, raised his hand and flicked it towards Jiang Biyun's brow. A white light instantly entered Jiang Biyun's brow, followed by a wisp of black energy rising from the top of Jiang Biyun's head!
"Ah?"
Su Qian stared at the black energy above Jiang Biyun's head and let out a surprised cry.
"Su Qian, what's wrong?" Jiang Biyun suddenly turned to look at Su Qian.
"N-nothing..." Su Qian quickly calmed down. It was better not to let Jiang Biyun know about this kind of thing.
Jiang Biyun gave Su Qian a strange look for a few seconds, then withdrew her gaze.
She was about to serve dishes but suddenly seemed to have lost her memory, not knowing what to do next, and froze there.
"What am I doing here? I can't remember?" Jiang Biyun raised her hand to rub her temples, looking around blankly.
Su Qian quickly understood what was happening and said, "Xiao Yun, you came to bring me food. You might be too tired, go back and rest. Let the servants do these things."
"Madam, I'll help you to the bedroom to rest," a servant said quickly.
"Oh... alright."
Jiang Biyun rubbed her forehead, seemingly trying desperately to remember something, but couldn't recall anything. She simply shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
She smiled at Chen Xuan, "Chen Xuan, you stay and keep Old Su company for the meal."
Although her tone was neither warm nor cold, it was much better than before.
After speaking, assisted by the servants, Jiang Biyun walked out of the study.
"What was that black energy?" Su Qian, recalling Chen Xuan's methods, asked with some surprise.
"A feng shui master cast a 'Bewitching Heart Curse' on Aunt Jiang. The Bewitching Heart Curse confuses the mind, which is why Aunt Jiang behaved like a shrew. In reality, her nature is not like this."
Chen Xuan said nonchalantly, but he was thinking about something else.
Through a simple spell, he could almost determine the strength of a feng shui master. The last time he saw Master Mo Yang's crudely made protective jade talisman, he concluded that Master Mo Yang's strength was barely competent.
This time, by removing the Bewitching Heart Curse from Jiang Biyun, he could now confirm that the strength of Master Feng, the feng shui master worshipped by the Yu family, was definitely not at the grandmaster level, and his skill was much lower than his own.
Thinking back, it must have been that feng shui formation that misled him. That feng shui formation was probably not created by Master Feng.
Previously, Chen Xuan had been wary of Master Feng's feng shui mystic arts, so he had not rashly acted against the Yu family. Now, it was time to ask the Yu family why they had poisoned his mother Song Ping and why they were targeting Su Yunxi!
"Could it be the Yu family's feng shui master?" Su Qian's eyebrows shot up, his voice turning cold.
"It should be that feng shui master from the Yu family."
Chen Xuan nodded and then said, "Uncle Su, leave this matter to me. I will give you an explanation."
After saying that, Chen Xuan began to eat his rice and quickly finished the bowl.
"Uncle Su, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
With that, Chen Xuan turned and walked out of the study.
After Chen Xuan left, Su Qian's eyes showed some excitement, "I want to see what kind of strength the person taught by those two guys has! Are they truly worthy of my precious daughter! The Yu family is a touchstone, so to speak."
Chen Xuan went downstairs and, as expected, saw Su Yunxi downstairs pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pan, extremely anxious. He guessed that Su Qian might have said something he shouldn't have, which brought a warmth to Chen Xuan.
"Chen Xuan?"
Su Yunxi looked up inadvertently and saw Chen Xuan. She strode over with her long, slender legs and said worriedly, "My dad, he didn't say anything to you, did he?"
"No, everything was fine," Chen Xuan smiled faintly.
Su Yunxi frowned, showing some surprise.
