Chapter 1286 Trying to Escape?
Huo Guangtai seemed to sense Li Er's gaze, so he scooped a large spoonful of noodles with his spoon. Only then did Li Er's gaze soften.
Hmm...
That's more like it!
Huo Guangtai sat down next to Chen Xuan with his noodles, but his mind was elsewhere. "Mr. Chen, you said Mr. Cao would come looking for you?"
Before Chen Xuan could speak, Li Er coldly said, "What, are you questioning Mr. Chen's abilities?"
"Of course not, I just find it too unbelievable."
"What's so amazing about that? Isn't it just the Middle Three Sects?"
They were merely the Middle Three Sects. In the past, when the Chen family in the capital was at its peak, even people from the Upper Three Sects had to bow and scrape. As for those from the Middle Three Sects, they simply looked down on them.
Huo Guangtai thought that Li Er was speaking too boastfully.
Never mind, he should just eat his noodles.
He took a bite, and a strange taste quickly spread in his mouth. If it weren't for Li Er's knife-like gaze, he would have spat it out.
Could this thing be eaten?
"Mr. Huo, how are the noodles I cooked?"
"They're... they're delicious..."
Chen Xuan's mouth twitched when he heard this.
Where did you find them delicious?
"Then eat more."
Li Er was excited. This was the first time someone had praised his cooking, so he generously served Huo Guangtai a bowl of rice.
Huo Guangtai looked at the large bowl of fermented noodles, his face turning purple, and he almost fainted!
Just then, his savior arrived, and a hurried voice rang out: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen!"
A figure, with a group of black-clothed bodyguards, rushed over in a panic.
"Hey, he really came!"
Huo Guangtai was surprised to see this person.
It turned out Chen Xuan was right, Cao Gang had indeed come.
"Mr. Cao, you're early, please sit." Chen Xuan glanced at the seat next to him.
After what happened last night, Cao Gang had not slept a wink. He only managed to get a little sleep after developing dark circles under his eyes. As soon as he woke up, Cao Gang rushed over.
He had a lot to say, but seeing Chen Xuan's calm expression, he gave a sheepish smile and patiently sat down!
"Mr. Cao, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Have some."
Huo Guangtai quickly put the bowl of rice that Li Er had served in front of Cao Gang, wanting him to share.
Cao Gang took a bite and immediately spat it out with a "Pfft," exclaiming, "What is this? Can people eat this? Mr. Chen, how can you eat something like this? I'll have someone prepare some good food for you."
Li Er's face darkened, and his newly established confidence completely vanished!
He turned around angrily and went to chop wood with an axe. While chopping, he said, "Back then, if you dared to speak like that, I, Li Er, would have split you in two with an axe!"
"Besides, back then, you wouldn't have dared to do this!"
Bang, bang, bang!
The sound of chopping wood came from the backyard. For some reason, Cao Gang's eyebrows twitched.
"Mr. Chen, to be honest, I have something important to tell you."
Cao Gang couldn't hold it in anymore and looked at Chen Xuan.
"How was it yesterday?"
Chen Xuan knew that Cao Gang must have used that talisman and achieved a miraculous effect.
"Mr. Chen, after I used that talisman, I saw many small ghosts clinging to Yang Ying. She must be raising them. She originally intended to kill me, but she was injured by the talisman."
Cao Gang recounted what happened yesterday: "Moreover, I also went to see my ex-wife Xiao Lan. She is also getting better. I must thank you, Mr. Chen, you are truly amazing!"
"You are truly my great benefactor, and I, Cao Gang, owe you a great favor!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Guangtai was envious.
In just one day, Cao Gang owed Chen Xuan a great favor. He had known Cao Gang for many years, and it was difficult to even get Cao Gang to have a meal with him.
However, he knew it was because Chen Xuan had great abilities.
"Mr. Chen, I also have a small gift prepared for you, hoping you will accept it! I have a villa here..." Huo Guangtai said eagerly.
Chen Xuan nodded slightly.
Everything was as Chen Xuan had predicted.
"The gift is not urgent, what about Yang Ying? I have something to ask her!"
Huo Guangtai said with a bitter smile, "Yang Ying, that Yang Ying was injured by the talisman, but she managed to escape."
Hearing this, Chen Xuan's expression changed slightly: "This is bad!"
"Mr. Chen, what's wrong?" Huo Guangtai was stunned and quickly asked.
Before Chen Xuan could speak, a scream suddenly rang out from outside. A moment later, a black-clothed bodyguard, covered in blood, stumbled in.
"What's wrong with you?" Cao Gang hurried and asked, "What happened outside?"
"Mas... Master, Madam and Young Master have broken in and killed our brothers..."
The black-clothed bodyguard said weakly, his breath shallow.
"What?"
"Pfft!"
After speaking, the black-clothed bodyguard coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted.
"Mr. Chen, I didn't know they would come here. What should we do?"
Cao Gang looked at Chen Xuan anxiously, wanting Chen Xuan to give him advice.
Chen Xuan said sternly, "That Yang Ying and your son have actually been watching you, but their target should not be you, but me. You don't need to worry."
"Don't worry? Aren't you a bit too confident?"
Suddenly, a woman's cold laugh rang out.
Accompanied by footsteps, Yang Ying and Cao Bin walked in with cold smiles.
Yang Ying and Cao Bin were filled with a sinister aura, but Yang Ying's face was pale because she was injured by the talisman yesterday.
"Confident? Was my spiritual talisman yesterday not strong enough? Do you want to try again?"
Chen Xuan said with a chuckle.
Upon hearing this, Yang Ying's eyes shot out a trace of venom!
Cao Bin looked at Cao Gang and said solemnly, "Dad, this guy is a big liar. You must not listen to his nonsense!"
"Son, this has nothing to do with Mr. Chen, it's your mother who..."
"What does my mother have to do with it? Dad, you've been deceived too deeply by this guy. Don't worry, I will definitely help you kill this person!"
Cao Bin interrupted Cao Gang directly and turned to pounce at Chen Xuan.
An unparalleled sinister aura emanated outwards!
It surged like a tide!
Chen Xuan directly summoned a spiritual talisman, which turned into a ball of flame and shot towards Cao Bin.
Cao Bin did not expect Chen Xuan to make such a swift move. He was startled and retreated sharply, but he was too slow to dodge. The small ghosts on his body were instantly burned away by the flames!
"You..."
Having lost his small ghosts, Cao Bin was like someone stripped bare, and his strength was completely gone.
"You dare to harm my people?!"
Yang Ying was stunned and also greatly alarmed, then she was about to charge at Chen Xuan.
But Chen Xuan took out another talisman and waved it lightly, scaring Yang Ying into stopping in her tracks.
"The mountain doesn't turn, the water flows, boy, you just wait for me!"
Yang Ying had been following Cao Gang all along, intending to find Chen Xuan's whereabouts to exact revenge for last night. However, she did not expect Chen Xuan to be so formidable, which was completely beyond her expectations.
Seeing that the timing was not right, Yang Ying turned to flee!
"Trying to escape?"
Chen Xuan sneered, unleashing the Flaming Demon-Extinguishing Talisman in his hand. The talisman instantly erupted with a surge of powerful flames!
