Chapter 1698 Reunion, Birthday Banquet
"For now, this is the only way. Patriarch Gu, you and your Gu family should leave the capital quickly. The capital is about to descend into chaos, no, the entire Xia Kingdom might fall into chaos!"
Chen Xuan had a bad premonition and advised the Gu family to leave the capital.
"Leave the capital? Our Gu family has been established in the capital for a long time. Leaving isn't as simple as it sounds." Gu Honglong looked troubled.
Gu Yulong also added, "The Gu family has been operating in the capital for hundreds of years. This is all the Gu family's foundation. It's not easy to just leave now."
Before Chen Xuan could speak, the scruffy Taoist said, "Patriarch Gu, I divined for this great era just now. According to the hexagram, it signifies a comet attacking the moon, which means a major upheaval will occur in the capital."
"If the Gu family is unwilling to leave, then you must make preparations for it!"
"This... then I'll ask Qingcheng Sword Sect. Perhaps we can seek refuge in Qingcheng Sword Sect."
Hearing even the scruffy Taoist say this, Gu Honglong didn't dare to be careless.
"That can also work."
Chen Xuan nodded, and then returned to the Su family with the scruffy Taoist.
Upon arriving at the Su family, Chen Xuan saw a string of beautiful figures sitting on the sofa. "Why are you all here?"
These beautiful figures were none other than Chen Xuan's confidantes.
Qiu Yingying!
Murong Meng!
Gao Chuye!
These people shouldn't be in the provincial capital, so how did they end up here?
Murong Meng said with a blush, "I don't know either. Yunxi asked us to come."
Gao Chuye also seemed a little embarrassed, while Qiu Yingying, being more forthright, opened her mouth as if to say something, but was stopped by Gao Chuye.
"You asked them to come?"
Chen Xuan was even more bewildered.
"Chen Xuan, how is my father?"
Su Yunxi rushed down from upstairs, asking anxiously.
Her eyes were red, and her eyes were slightly swollen and sore.
"Yunxi, your father is fine. Don't worry. I encountered a formidable opponent, and your father is still in his hands. But if I help him resolve one matter, then this problem can be solved with ease."
Chen Xuan hugged Su Yunxi and comforted her.
Gao Chuye and the others also hurried over to comfort Su Yunxi.
Su Qian being kidnapped was, by all accounts, a monumental event.
"What matter do you need to do?"
Su Yunxi asked.
Chen Xuan replied, "I need to go to the Yama Hall."
"You're joking with me again." Su Yunxi rolled her eyes.
Gao Chuye and the others all chided Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan chuckled.
He was actually going to Yama Hall.
"Yunxi, why did you call them here?" Chen Xuan asked curiously.
Su Yunxi said, "A few days ago, it was supposed to be your birthday, so I invited them to the capital. But I didn't expect you to disappear, so they've been waiting for you here."
"So it was to celebrate my birthday. I almost forgot about it."
Chen Xuan scratched his head.
Murong Meng smiled and said, "It's okay, we'll make up for it today."
Gao Chuye and Qiu Yingying nodded repeatedly and said resolutely, "Yes, we definitely must make up for it."
Chen Xuan's brow twitched.
Why were they so enthusiastic?
Could there be some scheme afoot?
Chen Xuan had planned to leave immediately, but now he couldn't. He could only look at the scruffy Taoist.
The scruffy Taoist yawned, "It's not urgent anyway. Mount Wuwang isn't going anywhere."
"That's true. Then we'll set off tomorrow."
"Then you youngsters have fun. I'm going to find a place to relax and indulge." The scruffy Taoist turned and left.
Su Yunxi and the others began to make arrangements, some making birthday cakes, others preparing dishes. Laughter and joy filled the air, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
Chen Xuan looked at the scene and felt deeply gratified.
If they could all live together harmoniously like this in the future, how wonderful would that be?
In the kitchen, Su Yunxi asked, "Xiao Meng, do you think the medicine we put in is really effective? Chen Xuan is a divine doctor, and also a martial arts master."
Murong Meng smiled and said, "Don't worry. This medicine is colorless and odorless. I spent a lot of money to find it, and it will definitely affect him."
Su Yunxi nodded, then sighed softly, "This is going to benefit that pervert too much."
"Yunxi, you don't regret it, do you?" Murong Meng asked worriedly.
"I do regret it, but I think doing this might be better. He can make each of us a martial artist, and it can also help him quickly improve his strength."
Su Yunxi said this with a sense of acceptance.
Soon, Murong Meng and Su Yunxi's cake was also ready, and Qiu Yingying and Gao Chuye had prepared a few of their signature dishes.
Su Yunxi personally opened a bottle of 1982 Lafite.
On the long dining table were several exquisite dishes, and on the transparent wine glasses sat the 1982 Lafite. Four beautiful women sat on the side, with Chen Xuan in the center.
He looked at the four beautiful women before him, enjoying the view.
"What are you spacing out for? Let's eat."
"Just looking at you fills me up."
"Full?"
"A feast for the eyes," Chen Xuan blurted out.
"What, seeing you means you want to eat us all?" Gao Chuye said with a cold smile.
"Cough, cough, I never said that. Don't frame me," Chen Xuan quickly argued.
"Pervert!"
Gao Chuye muttered softly.
"Alright, alright. Although it's not Chen Xuan's birthday today, we're celebrating his birthday. Let's all raise our glasses." Su Yunxi lifted her wine glass.
"Good!"
"Chen Xuan, Happy Birthday!"
The other women also quickly raised their glasses.
"Thank you all. This is the best birthday I've ever had."
Chen Xuan raised his glass.
Clink!
He poured the red wine into his mouth.
Then, everyone began to eat and drink.
"I'm so hot... do you all feel hot?"
Chen Xuan suddenly said.
Su Yunxi and the others already had alluring gazes, and had unbuttoned the buttons on their chests, revealing their immense beauty. This made Chen Xuan's eyes almost pop out. This was truly a feast for the eyes.
"It is a bit hot."
"Why don't we turn on the air conditioning?"
"I'll go turn it on."
Chen Xuan stood up to turn on the air conditioner, but after taking just one step, his legs felt weak, and he fell forward, fortunately catching himself on the table.
"What's going on? When did this 1982 Lafite become so potent?"
Chen Xuan was completely bewildered.
"Hahaha, Chen Xuan, you're already incapacitated after just two glasses of wine."
"Chen Xuan, how can your alcohol tolerance be so poor?"
Su Yunxi and the others also got up and crowded around him.
Chen Xuan looked up and saw that all the women had alluring gazes, their faces flushed, and their expressions seemed abnormal. They even started to touch him.
He instantly became alert, "Something's wrong, we've been poisoned!!"
Chen Xuan had already realized what was happening. He took out his silver needles to check each of them, but even the silver needles couldn't detect what had been tampered with.
Helpless, Chen Xuan had to try them one by one.
Finally, he looked at the cake.
Was the cake laced with medicine?
Didn't Su Yunxi and Murong Meng make this cake?
Who would want to harm them?
Chen Xuan couldn't figure it out for a moment. Even if they wanted to harm them, why would they use this kind of medicine?
His eyes suddenly lit up.
Could it be....
No! It absolutely couldn't be!
Chen Xuan shook his head, unable to believe it.
But at this moment, the drug's effects completely kicked in, and Su Yunxi, Murong Meng, and the other women all clung to him.
