Chapter 967
The big-mouthed man didn't stop at all and directly gave Yan Tao a facelift, which made him completely different!

The problem is that Yan Tao is the young master of the Jiuding Sect and has a distinguished status.

It is said that one person is inferior to ten thousand people.

Is this guy crazy? !

How dare he? ! !

"Stop! Stop it!"

Shen Yao finally couldn't stand it anymore and quickly stopped her.

But at this time, Yan Tao was already bloody and unconscious.

"Brother Dustin! Now you are in big trouble!"

Shen Yao groaned and quickly helped Yan Tao up, giving him medicine and pinching him, trying to wake him up.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Yan Tao was really beaten, something would happen.

Then not only Dustin, but also the entire Bixia Sect would suffer Yan Song's crazy revenge.

"Dustin! We shouldn't sit together with you. You've done us a lot of harm this time!"

Shen Chong was angry and panicked at the same time.

What the hell!

Why did you meet such a madman?

Regardless of Yan Tao's status or the power of the Jiuding Sect, if he is caught, he will be beaten.

It’s absolutely crazy!

"Brother Dustin! If you hit Yan Tao, disaster will come soon. Run away quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"

Han Yi was very nervous. As she spoke, she grabbed Brother Dustin's arm and tried to pull him out.

It turned out that the other party was motionless and completely unresponsive.

"Who dares to hit my son?!"

At this moment, an angry shout suddenly exploded at the door.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man with a majestic face and a powerful aura came in with a group of warriors.
The leading man is surprisingly the leader of the Jiuding Sect and the number one master in Youzhou—Yan Song!

"It's broken, it's broken! Master Yan is here!"

"Master Yan is so angry that no one in the entire Youzhou can withstand it!"

"Hmph! How dare you hit Mr. Yan? Let's see if you survive!"

Yan Song's appearance caused a commotion.

The onlookers took a few steps back, fearing that Chi Yu would be harmed.

Many people were gloating over the misfortune, looking at Dustin as if they were looking at a dying person.

"It's over! I can't even run away now..."

Han Yi's face turned pale and she was in despair.

She was still thinking about fighting for Dustin's chance of survival, but in the end she still didn't have time.

"Alas...it seems there is no hope."

Shen Yao sighed, with a little more sympathy in her eyes.

Yan Song personally took action, which meant that Dustin would die or not.

"What a disaster!"

Shen Chong shook his head, with a bitter look on his face.

Dustin is dead, but they will also have to suffer the same fate, and they will inevitably be taught a lesson.

"Dad! You are finally here!"

After being rescued, Yan Tao wailed, staggered and fell in front of Yan Song, hugging his thighs and crying: "If you come a little later, I will be beaten to death! Look, look How has my face been beaten into shape? You must make the decision for me this time!"

"Who is it? Who dares to hurt you like this?!"

Looking at Yan Tao's face that was swollen into a pig's head, Yan Song was furious.

After so many years in Youzhou, no one has ever dared to hit his son.

who is he?

The leader of the Jiuding Sect!

The number one master in Youzhou!

Martial Alliance Elder!
Who wouldn’t be able to nod, bow, and salute?

Anyone who dares to challenge his authority in public is simply asking for death!

"Dad! It's that boy!"

Yan Tao pointed at Dustin and said with a look of resentment: "He was the one who beat me just now! He also made all kinds of noises, saying that you have a vain reputation. That's bullshit. It's just too much!"

"You dare to scold me? That's so presumptuous!"

Yan Song's face darkened, and his sharp eyes swept over.

However, when he saw Dustin's face clearly, he couldn't help being frightened and almost collapsed to the ground.

grass!

How did you meet this plague god? !

As an elder of the Martial Alliance, he saw clearly the grandmaster battle some time ago.

The man in front of me is a terrifying existence that has defeated Venerable Ziyang!

Not to mention scolding him, even if he was given a hard fight on the spot, he would not dare to say a word.

Chapter 968
"Now we're in trouble!"

Looking at the cold-faced Dustin, Yan Song, known as the number one master in Youzhou, was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat.

It was really unlucky to meet such a plague god.

You're not going to get beaten today, are you?

"Dad! Why are you still standing there? Beat him! Beat him to death!"

"Today I want to make this kid understand what it means to kill yourself by striking an egg against a stone!"

Yan Tao's face was full of ferocity and he kept shouting.

"Shut up!"

Yan Song's expression changed, and he slapped Yan Tao hard on the face with his backhand.

"Snapped!"

Yan Tao was beaten so hard that he staggered and was completely stunned.

The few remaining teeth also popped out, and the face that was originally swollen into a pig's head became even more unsightly.

"Dad? You...why did you hit me?"

Yan Tao's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it.

You know, from childhood to adulthood, he has always been a treasure in the palm of your hand.

Usually my father doesn’t even say a harsh word. What happened today?

You actually slapped him in public?

are you crazy? !

"What's wrong with beating you? Shouldn't you be beaten?"

"Relying on the majesty of the Jiuding Sect all day long, I act arrogant and domineering outside, bullying men and dominating women, and ruining my reputation!"

"Today, I must teach you a lesson!"

Yan Song yelled and cursed, and slapped Yan Tao twice, knocking Yan Tao to the ground.

Then, still not relieved, he started punching and kicking.

The moves are ruthless and show no mercy.
Yan Tao was beaten until he wailed and screamed repeatedly.

With that posture, those who didn't know it thought there was some deep hatred between the two.

"ah?"

The sudden change made everyone dumbfounded.

Everyone was dumbfounded and shocked.

According to their assumptions, Yan Song came with a large group of troops to stand up for Yan Tao and teach the perpetrators a lesson.

Why are you beating your own son now?

And he beat him so hard.

what's the situation?

"What happened to Master Yan? Did you take the wrong medicine?"

"Who knows? Master Yan is famous for protecting his enemies. Why does he seem to be a different person today?"

"It's too cruel! How can this be a lesson to my son? This is clearly just venting resentment!"

"..."

Seeing Yan Tao being beaten violently, everyone whispered, feeling surprised, stunned, and at the same time somewhat pitiful.

It was okay to be beaten severely by Dustin before, but now he is beaten by his own father. It is really miserable.

The problem is that Yan Song dotes on his son very much.

Anyone who dares to provoke him will have his hands and feet cut off, or he will be killed on the spot.

Today, he went out of his way and beat his son like a dog. It was really weird.

"Well......"

At this moment, Han Yi, Shen Yao, Shen Chong and the others were all confused.

He stood there blankly, a little at a loss.

When they saw Yan Song, they thought they were in for a big disaster.

As a result, things took a turn for the worse. Not only did Yan Song not cause trouble for them, he also taught his own son a lesson.

When did Sect Leader Yan, who used force to conquer others and was all about himself, become so reasonable?

"Master! Stop fighting. Stop fighting. If you fight again, you will die!"
After coming back to his senses, a group of Jiuding Sect disciples began to break up the fight, allowing Yan Tao to save his life.

"Hmph! This domineering traitor deserves to be beaten to death!"

Yan Song looks like he hates evil as much as he hates his enemies, and he will kill his relatives out of righteousness.

As he said this, the fists and kicks in his hands finally stopped.

If the fight continues, I'm afraid something will really happen.

"Fellow martial arts comrades, today's incident is due to my poor discipline, Yan. Here, I will show everyone my fault."

Yan Song turned around and bowed deeply to Dustin and others to express his apology.

Dustin had no expression on his face and accepted it very calmly.

Chapter 1319

”Miss Yin’s family has already won two rounds in a row. If this continues, our Ji Shi Tang will be in danger!”

Liu Gongquan’s brows were furrowed and his face was solemn.

If he had known this was the case, he should not have agreed to this bet.

Once defeated, half a lifetime’s hard work will be in vain.

”Yin Tao obviously came prepared. We should have been tricked.”

”This woman is so despicable!”

Several Jishi Hall disciples were cursing and not angry, but they were helpless.

Now the arrow is on the string and must be fired.

The bet decided in public cannot be changed, and one can only find opportunities to win by taking risks.

”Liu Xiangsi, you lost again.”

Yin Tao’s joking voice floated over: “If you lose a few more questions, your Jishitang will belong to me.”

”Hmph! Don’t be too happy too early, everything has just begun!” Liu Xiangsi shouted in a deep voice.

She has already asked. There are ten questions in the lantern riddle. As long as she answers six questions correctly, she will win.

So now, she still has a chance to make a comeback.

”You can’t even answer such simple two questions, and you still expect to follow up? Don’t be ridiculous, I advise you to admit defeat early, so as not to embarrass yourself.” Yin Tao sneered.

”It’s still unclear who will win, let’s wait and see!” Liu Xiangsi said angrily.

”Okay, I want to see how capable you are.” Yin Tao smiled slightly: “Shopkeeper Chen, continue to ask questions.”

”good.”

The fat white man nodded, took out another card from the box, and read it out: “Please listen to the third question carefully: one is from the right and the other is from the west, and the three rooms are square and southeast. Guess a word.”

”One to the right and one to the west? Three bungalows with the east facing south?”

As soon as the puzzle came out, everyone quickly began to think deeply.

Generally speaking, when guessing words, you always find flaws in the puzzle.

As long as you find the key, it will be easy to solve the mystery.

But obviously, this word is not simple.

”I thought of it!”

After contemplating for a moment, Liu Xiangsi’s eyes lit up, and she suddenly said, “Senior brother, I know the answer to the riddle, it’s the word ‘sprinkle’!”

”Sa? What does it mean?” Liu Cong was startled.

”Read the question carefully. The three dots of water next to the word ‘spread’ represent three bungalows. The combination of the three dots of water and ‘xi’ is the same as the word ‘spread’,” Liu Xiangsi said enthusiastically.

”One right and one west, how to explain the ‘right’?” Liu Cong was a little suspicious.

”It’s simple. The left side of the word ‘Sa’ is three dots of water, and the right side is west, which perfectly explains the puzzle.” Liu Xiangsi replied.

”Why do I feel a little far-fetched?” Liu Cong frowned slightly.

Wrong two questions in a row, he has lost trust in Liu Xiangsi.

”Brother! Trust me one last time, I promise, there will be no problem this time!” Liu Xiangsi vowed.

”…”

The corner of Liu Cong’s mouth twitched, wanting to curse, but finally held back.

What the hell! This again?

Every time he swears, the result is disappointing, and even he is pointed at by others, making his face shameless.

If it weren’t for his fellow disciples, he would have gotten angry.

”Brother Lu, what do you think?”

Liu Cong ignored Liu Xiangsi, but turned his attention to Lu Chen.

”Is it important that I have any opinion? Anyway, you don’t believe me if I say it, so it’s better not to say it.” Lu Chen ate his food by himself, ambiguous in his mouth.

”Ahem… Brother Lu, I was blind before and failed to see your talent. I will definitely believe you this time.” Liu Cong promised.

Chapter 1320

”Brother! What do you mean by this?”

Hearing this, Liu Xiangsi immediately became dissatisfied: “Who is he? Can he be compared with me? Would you rather believe an outsider than me?”

”Shut up, you!”

Liu Cong turned around and yelled: “I believed you twice before, and you were wrong both times. How can you expect me to believe you?”

”I……”

Liu Xiangsi choked and her pretty face turned red.

The senior brother in her memory had always been like the big brother next door, and he had never been so cruel to her.

what is it today?

”Xiangsi, this is not a child’s play. You and Yin Tao have already made a bet. Once you lose, you will lose the entire Jishi Hall!”

Liu Cong restrained his sharpness and advised earnestly: “Besides, you are good at music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry. You have not dabbled in lantern riddles. As the saying goes, there are specialties in the arts, so you should give it a try, Brother Lu.”

Regardless of whether it is Jishitang or Beauty Picture, he is determined to win, so naturally he cannot allow others to act recklessly.

”Okay, I’ll give him a chance to show off, but if he gives a wrong answer, I’ll be replaced immediately, so maybe there’s still a little chance.” Liu Xiangsi puffed her lips, but finally compromised.

”no problem.”

Liu Cong breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lu Chen again: “Brother Lu, tell me your answer? What is the word?”

”One to the right and one to the west, three rooms square to the southeast. If I guessed correctly, it should be the character ‘醢’ [hai].” Lu Chen said calmly.

”Hai? Which hai?” Liu Cong looked confused.

”It’s the word ‘醢’.”

Chase Lu ordered some tea with his finger, and then wrote it out one stroke at a time on the table.

”mince?”

Looking at the unfamiliar words, everyone couldn’t help but look at each other.

This is the first time they have seen this word since they have grown up. It is too unfamiliar.

”In the word ‘醢’, there is right and west, which corresponds to the first sentence. As for the second sentence, the three bungalows stand to the south. Look at the word ‘plate’. Does it look like three separated rooms? ?” Lu Chen explained one by one.

”It looks like! It’s so similar!”

Liu Cong took a closer look and couldn’t help but look overjoyed: “Brother Lu, your word ‘醢’ is absolutely amazing! It really enlightens me!”

Liu Xiangsi’s word “sprinkle” before was not convincing at all.

Now that he saw the word “醢”, he suddenly realized that this was the correct answer.

”Brother, don’t get too excited, who knows if this is the correct answer? What if it’s wrong?” Liu Xiangsi poured cold water on it.

”I admit I’m wrong!”

Liu Cong stood up suddenly, and said loudly, “Master Chen, I already have the answer to the third question!”

”Mr. Liu, are you too impatient? You’ve already gotten two questions wrong in a row. If you get the third question wrong, you won’t be able to see anyone.” Yin Tao said suddenly.

”Someone really doesn’t look back until he hits the wall!”

”It’s fine if you don’t have the skills, but you still like to show off. It’s really not embarrassing!”

”Hmph! Just a few clowns trying to flatter themselves.”

At this moment, many dignitaries began to ridicule.

If you make a mistake once or twice, you should stop if you suffer.

The people in front of me are good, and they are the first to answer every time, but the key is to get the wrong answer every time.

Isn’t this self-defeating?

”Liu Shao, the answer to this riddle is a bit difficult, why don’t you think about it again?” The fat white man issued a kind reminder.

”Don’t think about it, I am very confident this time.” Liu Conglang said.

”Oh? May I ask Young Master Liu, what is the answer to the riddle?” the fat man asked back.

”It’s the word ‘醢’!”

Liu Cong didn’t waste any time. He wrote down a big word “醢” with pen and paper, and then slapped it heavily in front of the fat man: “Shopkeeper Chen, look carefully. Is this word correct?”

Chapter 1321

”Boom!”

Looking at the paper that Liu Cong took down heavily, the fat man could not help but be slightly stunned, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

He didn’t expect that the other party could actually answer it.

The third puzzle is much more difficult than the previous two puzzles.

You know, the word ‘醢’ itself is a rare word, and few people know it, let alone write it.

It is even more difficult to guess this rare word based on the riddle.

When he first got this question, he thought no one could answer it and he planned to cancel it.

In the end, it was Liu Cong, who was clueless, who answered first, which was really surprising.

It seems that there should be an expert’s guidance behind the other party.

”Shopkeeper Chen, what are you doing standing still? Tell me something nice, is this the right word?” Liu Cong urged.

I was full of confidence at first, but when I saw the fat white man’s expression was different, I became nervous again for no reason.

”Master Liu, I advise you to stop struggling. You can tell by the look on Shopkeeper Chen’s face that you must be wrong again this time.” Yin Tao teased.

”If you don’t have the ability, go down early and don’t embarrass yourself here!”

A group of dignitaries and dignitaries in the audience started to boo.

”Isn’t it wrong again?”

Liu Cong frowned slightly, his face a little confused.

”Hmph! It’s all nonsense, but in the end it’s not wrong? If I had known better, I shouldn’t have believed you!” Liu Xiangsi glared at Lu Chen fiercely.

How could a guy who was inferior to himself be able to answer such a difficult riddle?

”Don’t misunderstand me…”

After reacting, the fat white man said quickly: “Young Master Liu did not answer wrongly. On the contrary, he answered very correctly. The answer to the third question is indeed the word ‘醢’.”

”What? Got it right?”

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Yin Tao’s face froze instantly.

The dignitaries who had just made a fuss were all looking at each other in confusion at this moment.

As for Liu Xiangsi, she swallowed the words that came to her lips.

“Shopkeeper Chen, are you not mistaken? How can these stupid heads answer this question correctly?” Yin Tao couldn’t believe it.

Even the talented person she hired at a high price couldn’t answer for a while, let alone Liu Xiangsi and Liu Cong?

”I saw it clearly, and there is no mistake. Mr. Liu really got the answer right.” The fat white man nodded slightly.

”Then tell me, what word did he answer?” Yin Tao asked.

”It’s the word ‘醢’.”

The fat white man clearly displayed the words written by Liu Cong in front of everyone.

After reading it, many people nodded suddenly and agreed.

”Is that the word?”

Yin Tao glanced at the scroll man next to her and asked.

”One to the right and one to the west, three square rooms standing to the southeast, with ‘right’ and ‘west’. The three bungalows correspond to the pictographic character ‘plate’. The answer to the character ‘醢’ is so correct that even I didn’t expect it. “The scroll man gave an evaluation.

”It shouldn’t be…”

Yin Tao frowned: “Liu Xiangsi, that woman, has a good eye but a weak hand. She has no ability. How can she solve such a difficult puzzle? Could it be that there is someone else helping her?”

As she spoke, her eyes swept over them one by one, and finally settled on Lu Chen.

Because compared to the surprise and astonishment of the people around him, the other party acted very calmly, as if he had expected it.

”Hahaha… That’s right, that’s right, I finally got it right!” Liu Cong was excited.

His mistakes in the first two questions made him lose face and made him a laughing stock.

This third question finally regained a little face.

”Xiao Lu, I didn’t expect you to be able to guess lantern riddles, that’s awesome!” Liu Gongquan gave a thumbs up.

This kid is really capable of both literary and military skills and is versatile.

”Read a lot of books, and if you know everything, it’s nothing.” Lu Chen smiled faintly.

”Brother Lu, please stop being modest. It was thanks to you just now. Otherwise, we would have lost again.” Liu Cong returned to his seat with a smile.

”Hmph! What’s so great? It’s just good luck!” Liu Xiangsi smacked her lips, very dissatisfied.

Chapter 1322

In her opinion, Chase Lu was lucky enough to guess the answer.

Or maybe the other person has seen related puzzles before, so he answered them quickly.

”Brother Lu, the next puzzle is all up to you. I will thank you very much after it is done!” Liu Cong clasped his fists at Lu Chen.

”For the sake of Dr. Liu, I will do my best.” Lu Chen yawned.

If he had to keep Jishitang, he would be too lazy to meddle in other matters.

”Liu Xiangsi, I can’t tell that there is a wise person hidden among you.”

Yin Tao’s voice came again: “But don’t be too happy. We are still in the lead now. The next seven puzzles are the key to victory.”

”Hmph! Just let the horse come here!” Liu Xiangsi held her head up, without any fear.

”Shopkeeper Chen, please give me a question!” Yin Tao urged.

The fat white man nodded, and immediately took out the fourth card from the box, and read: “Please listen to the fourth question: Leave Banyue, guess a word.”

As soon as his voice fell, Lu Chen faintly uttered a word: “Brain.”

”Congratulations to this guest, the answer is correct.” The fat white man directly announced the result.

”Um?”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

The riddle has just been revealed, and they haven’t had time to think about it yet, so someone has given the answer?

What kind of joke are you kidding?

Is it that fast?

”Wait! Why is the word ‘brain’ the answer? Can you explain it more clearly?” someone questioned.

”Leaving Banyue, the upper part of the word ‘li’ is taken from the word ‘moon’, and it is naturally the word ‘brain’.” Lu Chen gave a concise explanation.

”So that’s the case. It sounds quite simple, no wonder the answer is so fast.” Everyone suddenly realized.

”Shopkeeper Chen, continue to write questions!” Yin Tao was a little dissatisfied.

”Please listen to the fifth question: 2345678.9, guess an idiom.” The fat man said.

”Lack of food and clothing.” Lu Chen blurted out.

”Congratulations to this guest, the answer is correct.” The fat white man nodded.

”…”

Everyone’s expressions froze and they were speechless.

So damn fast.

They couldn’t react at all.

”Please listen to the sixth question: There is a bamboo forest on the soil, and there is gold under the soil. Guess a word.”

”The word ‘wait’.”

”Please listen to the seventh question: The blind man touches the elephant, candied coptis, what do they mean?”

”A blind man touches an elephant and does not understand the general situation; candied Coptis chinensis can share joys and sorrows.”

”Please listen to the eighth question: Zi Chou. Guess the four-character common expression.”

”The rat, the ugly, and the ox are the first and second animals in the Chinese zodiac, so they should be born in the first and second zodiac signs.”

”Question 9: The phoenix flute sounds, the jade pot turns light, and fish and dragons dance all night long!”

”Lantern Festival.”

”…”

The two of them were asking and answering questions, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

No matter what question the fat white man asked, Lu Chen just blurted it out without thinking about it.

And every question was answered correctly.

The surrounding guests had no chance to speak.

Even the talented man from the south of the Yangtze River whom Yin Tao hired at a high price was dumbfounded at this moment, with a look of shock on his face.

Is this lantern riddles?

Is this based on the answer?

Too many outrageous!

Chapter 1323

At this moment, everyone was shocked by Lu Chen’s answer.

Come on, come on, it’s so fast, so fast that people can’t react at all.

Each and every one of them had their brains shut down and completely lost the idea of competing.

What was supposed to be a situation where a hundred schools of thought should be contending has completely become a show for Lu Chen alone.

Even the fat white man who asked the question was sweating profusely by the end of the question.

These puzzles are randomly selected and are of various kinds. Even if you study hard, you will not be able to answer them so quickly and accurately.

If it weren’t for the extremely high confidentiality of the Imperial Building, he would have doubted whether Lu Chen had seen the correct answers and memorized them all.

”The…last question.”

The fat white man swallowed his saliva, read out the riddle according to the card: “Red, yellow, blue and white can transform, like a phoenix and a dragon are incarnations, they travel thousands of miles without stopping, and a gust of wind blows them away…”

”Cloud.” Lu Chen blurted out again.

”All…the answers are correct!” The fat white man spat out a few words with difficulty.

He was really convinced, he had never seen such a perverted guy.

”Damn it! Did you get all the answers right? Is this guy cheating?”

”Why are you so fierce? It will make me look stupid!”

”Damn it! I have reason to suspect that this guy was hired by the Emperor Tower!”

”…”

After a brief silence, the entire scene exploded.

Although he was just guessing lantern riddles, Lu Chen’s performance was really outstanding.

Completely overshadowing everyone.

Those who came prepared were completely turned into a joke.

They all say that participation is important, but the problem is that they don’t even have a sense of participation.

”Oh my god! Answering seven questions in a row, isn’t this guy Lu Chen too cruel?”

”No! You said it wrong. He got all ten questions right!”

The disciples of Jishi Hall looked sideways, and each of them looked at Lu Chen as if they were looking at a monster.

“How, how is it possible? How can he answer them all correctly?!”

Liu Xiangsi’s eyes widened with disbelief on her face.

If Lu Chen answered two or three questions correctly, it could be regarded as good luck.

Now, no matter how dissatisfied she was, she had to admit that the other party was indeed far better than her.

”Okay…good answer!”

Liu Cong couldn’t help laughing.

He wasn’t sure before, but Lu Chen’s performance gave him a big surprise.

”This boy is indeed an all-rounder.”

Liu Gongquan stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes sparkling.

Young people with such extraordinary talents are so rare.

Not only did he have the idea of passing on the mantle, he even wanted to marry his granddaughter to him.

”I didn’t expect that such a dark horse would appear halfway. What a mistake!”

Yin Tao stared at Lu Chen with sharp eyes, as if she wanted to see something.

The clothes are ordinary, but the bearing is extraordinary.

His expression was indifferent and his sharpness was reserved. Even when he won a great victory, he did not have any mood swings.

It’s obvious that this is a man with deep roots.

He is also a master of concealment.

”Shopkeeper Chen, are there any more puzzles?” Lu Chen asked calmly.

”there is none left……”

The fat man smiled reluctantly: “Sir, you are so knowledgeable. I really admire you. I wonder what your name is?”

”land.”

”Mr. Lu, congratulations on winning the jackpot.”

The fat white man held the box containing the beauty picture in both hands, then walked respectfully to Lu Chen and said with a smile: “On behalf of the Imperial Building, I present this priceless beauty picture to you sir.”

”Let me inspect the goods first.”

Liu Cong was the first to take the box, opened it, and couldn’t help but his eyes shone: “It is indeed a good treasure!”

After confirming that it was correct, Liu Cong couldn’t help but make a mistake.

After all, Lu Chen won this treasure back. If he just pocketed it without saying a few words, he would inevitably be criticized.

The best way is to let Lu Chen take the initiative to give up. He will go with the flow and gain both treasure and reputation.

Perfect!

”Brother Lu, although I have favored this beauty for a long time and admired it endlessly, after all, you won it back with your own ability, and I can’t take it away from you.”

Liu Cong said, pretending to be reluctant to part with love, handed the box over, stretched it halfway, and suddenly stopped: “Of course, if you really don’t like it, I can keep it for you. When the time comes… …”

”Oh, thanks.”

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Chen took it calmly and then said nothing more.

”??”

Liu Cong was stunned.

This is so unconventional!

Normally, shouldn’t we just decline and be polite?

Why did you just accept it?

Am I not being obvious enough?

”Hey! Lu! What do you mean? Do you want to keep this beauty picture for yourself?”

Seeing this scene, Liu Xiangsi immediately became dissatisfied.

”Swallow alone?”

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his head and asked, “Shopkeeper Chen, the rules of today’s event are that whoever answers the most questions correctly will get this beauty picture, right?”

”That’s right.” The fat man nodded.

”Since I answered the most questions, should the beauty picture belong to me?” Lu Chen asked again.

”Exactly.” The fat man nodded again.

”That’s strange. It’s something that belongs to me. How can I say it’s my own?”

At the end, Lu Chen’s gaze had already turned to Liu Xiangsi, with a hint of questioning.

Although he is not very interested in pictures of beautiful women, it does not mean that he should give them away for free.

Especially someone who was begging for help made him even more disgusted.

”Although you won the beauty picture, don’t we get the credit?”

Liu Xiangsi said righteously: “Putting all this aside, if senior brother hadn’t brought you into the Emperor’s Tower, would you have had a chance to get this treasure? Shouldn’t you express your gratitude?”

”That’s right! As a human being, you should repay your kindness. Without the senior brother, you wouldn’t even be qualified to answer the questions, so this beauty picture should be donated to the senior brother!” Qian Chun agreed.

”What do you mean, as long as I enter the Imperial Tower, I have to sell my life to your senior brothers?”

Lu Chen’s lips showed a touch of sarcasm: “Miss Liu, please understand one thing. If I hadn’t taken action, you would still not be able to get the beauty picture, and you would even lose the entire Jishi Hall because of your impulsive willfulness!”

”Nonsense!”

Liu Xiangsi looked dissatisfied: “You think we can’t win without you? It’s a joke! I was just warming up just now. Even if you don’t speak, I can still win!”

”Haha, you got three questions wrong in a row. Will anyone believe this?” Lu Chen sneered.

”I…I just made a mistake.” Liu Xiangsi said bravely.

However, his voice was unconsciously much softer, and he was obviously a little weak.

”Liu Xiangsi, are you too shameless?”

At this time, Yin Tao twisted her slender waist, walked over, and said in a strange tone: “This handsome guy just helped you, allowing your Jishi Hall to escape the disaster. It’s okay if you are not grateful, but you still want to fight.” Beauty, please tell me, where is your face? Was it eaten by a dog?”

With those words, Liu Xiangsi’s face flushed red, as if she had eaten shit.

Chapter 1325

”You you you… what nonsense are you talking about?!”

Liu Xiangsi was immediately furious and furious, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

”Did I say something wrong? If this handsome guy hadn’t come to your aid, you would have lost everything. You are still here babbling. You really have no power at all.”

Yin Tao crossed her arms and curled her lips. After finishing, she even flashed her eyes at Lu Chen: “Handsome guy, oh~!”

The word ‘oh’ is elongated and has a somewhat ambiguous tone.

”Okay! So you two are in the same group!”

Liu Xiangsi looked left and right, showing a look of sudden realization: “No wonder you two have been flirting with each other for a long time, and you have already joined forces!”

”idiot!”

Yin Tao rolled her eyes and was speechless for a while.

Is this woman pretending to be shit?

It’s really convincing to speak without going through the brain at all.

”Forget it, junior sister, since the beauty picture was won by Brother Lu, we can’t take advantage of it. What he wants to do is his own business and we have no control over it.” Liu Cong patted Liu Xiangsi’s shoulder.

His appearance was calm, but his eyes were cold.

This kid is really clueless.

If he gave away the beautiful picture, he would still accept the other person’s favor.

Now that he wants to keep it for himself, don’t blame him for using some tricks.

”Hmph! Remember, this is not over today!”

Liu Xiangsi glared at the two of them fiercely and left angrily.

”Xiao Lu, this girl is too willful. Don’t take it to heart. Let’s talk tomorrow if something happens.”

Liu Gongquan said hello, and then followed his granddaughter, fearing that the other party would do something stupid.

”Brother Lu, you guys eat slowly, I have something else to do, so I’ll take my leave now.”

Liu Congpi hugged his fists with a smile, then turned and left.

Seeing this scene, the other Jishi Hall disciples stood up one after another and dispersed.

In this regard, Lu Chen just smiled without saying a word.

Neither Liu Xiangsi nor Liu Cong are good people.

The former is brainless and unruly, while the latter is ulterior motives.

Pictures of beautiful women are worth tens of thousands of dollars. How can it be so easy to get away from him with nothing?

”Handsome boy, please stay.”

Just as Lu Chen was about to leave, Yin Tao suddenly shouted.

”Is something wrong?” Lu Chen turned around.

”Handsome guy, did you come alone?” Yin Tao looked up and down.

”That’s right, what’s wrong?” Chase Lu asked back.

”It’s nothing, I just want to remind you that Yanjing is a mixed bag. If you bring such a priceless treasure with you, if you don’t have the protection of a big force, you may be robbed as soon as you step out of the Imperial Tower.” Yin Tao reminded.

”Is the law and order under the Emperor’s feet so chaotic?” Lu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.

”Although we are under the emperor’s feet, people die for wealth and birds die for food. This picture of a beautiful woman is enough to make many forces take action.” Yin Tao seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

”Thanks for reminding me, but it’s not that easy to snatch my things.” Lu Chen didn’t care.

”Handsome guy, the water in Yanjing is deeper than you think. Besides, it’s hard for two fists to defeat four hands. You are weak alone, how can you fight against those jackals, tigers and leopards?” Yin Tao said with a smile.

”What should I do according to Miss Yin’s wishes?” Lu Chen asked.

”It’s very simple. As long as you find a big power to protect you, you can rest easy. For example, I am the Yin family.”

Chapter 1326

Yin Tao finally got to the point: “Handsome guy, I think you are a talented person, how about you become a disciple of my Yin family? With my Yin family protecting me, looking at the entire Nancheng, except for the two wealthy families of Song and King, no force dares to touch you.”

”Miss Yin recruited me, didn’t you come here for beauty pictures?” Lu Chen asked tentatively.

”Beauty picture?”

Yin Tao smiled slightly: “Although it is a treasure, what I lack most is money. To me, it has no value.”

”Oh? Then why did Miss Yin help me?” Lu Chen was a little curious.

”Although I am not short of money, I am short of people.”

Yin Tao stretched out her slender jade fingers, touched Lu Chen’s chest gently, and said brightly: “She looks thin, but I didn’t expect it to be so strong. I really didn’t miss it. I don’t know if the handsome guy is interested in being mine.” One hundred and eighty-eighth boyfriend?”

”Um?”

Lu Chen frowned, and subconsciously took two steps back.

I thought the other person was doing it for beauty, but I didn’t expect that he was coveting his own body.

What a female gangster!

The one hundred and eightth boyfriend, are you trying to get a whole set of Liangshan heroes?

”Handsome guy, you’re not scared by me, are you?”

Yin Tao curled up her lips: “Don’t worry, I was just joking with you. There are not as many as one hundred and eight. Even if there are, you are my new favorite, and I promise not to treat you badly.”

After saying that, he started to touch it again, but Lu Chen held it with one hand: “Miss Yin, please respect yourself.”

”Handsome guy, we are all adults. You don’t need to be so restrained. You should enjoy yourself while you are alive.” Yin Tao smiled charmingly.

”Miss Yin, you are drunk. It’s time to go back and rest.” Lu Chen said coldly.

”Handsome, what’s your reaction?”

Yin Tao raised her eyebrows and said with some resentment: “Am I not beautiful? Am I not in good shape? Don’t you have any desire at all?”

”You are very beautiful and have a good figure, but I am not interested in you.” Lu Chen answered straightforwardly.

”not interested?”

Hearing this, Yin Tao was stunned for a moment, then laughed so hard that her branches trembled and tears came out: “Hahaha… interesting… so interesting. Handsome guy, you are number one For someone who rejected me like this, I found myself becoming more and more interested in you.”

She asked herself, whether it was appearance or figure, she was the best among the best.

As long as she gives her a wink, most men can’t resist her.

Even if there are some self-proclaimed guys who remain calm on the surface, as long as she exposes her identity and is willing to spend money, she will soon fall under her skirt.

No man can stop her attack.

But Lu Chen was an exception, a special man she had never met before.

She has mastered countless men and has rich experience.

She can tell at a glance whether a man is lying or not.

Lu Chen’s actions, expression, and words just now were enough to prove that he was not lying.

And the clear and calm eyes will not lie.

In other words, her tried-and-true beauty trap failed for the first time on Lu Chen.

This sudden sense of frustration made her even more excited.

She decided to get this man no matter what the cost!

”Miss Yin, there’s nothing else to do, so I’ll take my leave now.”

Seeing that this woman was behaving strangely, Lu Chen decided not to stay any longer and left decisively.

”Follow us and observe secretly. In critical moments, another hero will come to save the beauty.”

Seeing Lu Chen’s leaving figure, Yin Tao snapped her fingers, her eyes shining brightly.

It was like a hunter who saw a new prey.

Chapter 1327

When Lu Chen walked out of the Imperial Building, he quickly noticed some malicious looks.

Glancing around, he saw that at least two forces were eyeing him.

It seems that Yin Tao is right. Although beauty pictures are treasures, they can also cause a lot of trouble.

The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade.

Even if ordinary people get such a treasure, it is impossible to keep it.

Fortunately, Lu Chen is not an ordinary person.

”If you dare to take my idea, it depends on whether you have the ability.”

Lu Chen snorted coldly, then kept calm and walked to a remote place intentionally or unintentionally.

The two forces, one on the left and one on the right, followed quietly.

After walking for about ten minutes, Lu Chen took the picture of beauty and turned into an old alley that was rarely visited.

”What a great opportunity! Follow me quickly!”

More than a dozen men in black holding knives followed Lu Chen into the old alley.

When we walked in, everyone was stunned.

Because they discovered that this was a dead end.

And Lu Chen, who just came in, disappeared mysteriously!

”What’s going on? Where’s that kid?”

”It’s strange. I clearly saw him coming in. Why was he suddenly gone?”

”Fuck! Isn’t this a ghost attack?”

A group of men in black looked at each other in shock and confusion.

How could such a good person suddenly disappear?

”Are you looking for me?”

A cold voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Everyone was startled and turned around quickly to find that Lu Chen had appeared at the entrance of the alley.

”You… weren’t you in front of us? Why did you run behind us?” A man in black asked in surprise.

At this moment, the sky is already late, and the moon is shining like water.

Lu Chen lowered his head slightly, half of his face hidden in the darkness, and there was a cold aura all over his body.

Let the original strange atmosphere, even more eerie.

”You’ve been following me for so long, what are you going to do?” Lu Chen asked coldly.

”It turns out you have discovered it a long time ago, and there is indeed something.”

The leading man in black took two steps forward and shouted: “Boy! Stop talking nonsense! Use people’s money to eliminate disasters. If you don’t want to die, hand over what you have in your hands immediately!”

”The things are here, come and get them if you have the ability.”

Lu Chen gently placed the box containing the picture of the beauty on the ground, and immediately raised his hand.

”Hmph! You don’t have to drink a toast! Let’s serve together!”

The leading man in black shouted and immediately swarmed forward with his younger brothers.

Lu Chen smiled coldly, followed his footsteps, and his whole body turned into a black light and crashed directly into the crowd.

There was only a scream, and all the men in black were knocked high into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.

For a while, people turned on their backs and wailed endlessly.

”Tell me, who sent you here?”

Lu Chen grabbed the leader’s throat and lifted him up forcefully.

”I…I don’t know…we just get paid to do things.”

The leader was frightened and trembling.

I thought it was just an ordinary business, but I didn’t expect the target to be so fierce.

A face-to-face meeting knocked everyone down.

terrible!

”I don’t know? Or don’t you want to say?”

Chase Lu worked his fingers slowly.

The leader felt his breathing was stagnant, his face turned red, veins popped out in his neck, and he began to struggle wildly with his hands and feet.

”I really… I really don’t know. There are rules in the industry. We never ask the employer’s origin.” The leader said a sentence with difficulty.

”waste!”

Lu Chen lost his interest, stretched out his hand and slammed the leader against the wall, and passed out.

These people can only do ordinary fists and kicks, and they can’t even be called warriors.

Chapter 1328

It can be seen that the person behind the scenes did not take him seriously.

In other words, the other party does not have much power.

Lu Chen patted his clothes, put away the box, and was about to leave.

Several black commercial vehicles suddenly stopped at the entrance of the alley.

As the car door opened, a group of strong thugs dressed in powerful clothing rushed down.

These thugs all carried guys and surrounded Lu Chen as soon as they appeared, not giving any chance to escape.

”Get out of the way!”

At this time, a muscular man with a cigar in his mouth walked over in a swaggering manner.

The man has a scar on his face and looks fierce and violent. At first glance, he is not a good person.

”It’s you?”

Lu Chen squinted his eyes slightly and quickly recognized the scarred man.

The person who came was none other than Zhang Long, who was causing trouble in Jishi Hall during the day.

”Boy! We meet again!”

Zhang Long was holding a cigar, bulging his belly, hands on his hips, and a mink coat draped over his shoulders.

The whole person was dragged as if he was worth two to five or eighty thousand.

”What did you just call me?” Lu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.

”What? Deaf? I called you a brat!”

Zhang Long’s eyes widened and he said fiercely.

Three minutes later…

”Brother…brother, if you have something to say, please don’t slap me in the face.”

Zhang Long crawled on the ground with a bruised nose and a swollen face. He changed from his previous arrogance and became timid, like a frightened quail, with panic and fear on his face.

Beside him, there were already people lying on the ground.

This time, just to be on the safe side, he specially brought twenty or thirty people over, but in less than three minutes, all the boys were beaten to the ground.

In fact, he didn’t even see Lu Chen’s movements clearly.

I just felt a flash in front of my eyes, and then the younger brothers fell one after another like dominoes.

Obviously, he kicked the iron plate.

”Zhang Long, to be honest, I still like your rebellious appearance before.” Lu Chen pulled him up.

”Big brother, stop joking.”

Zhang Long had a mournful expression on his face: “I was blind just now and I offended you so much. I hope you will be magnanimous and let me go. I promise that I will never be your enemy in the future!”

”Do you think it’s possible to get away with just these few words?” Lu Chen said lightly.

”What does elder brother want to know? I know everything, and I can talk endlessly!” Zhang Long quickly responded.

”Smart.” Lu Chen smiled slightly: “I ask you, did Song Zhong ask you to come?”

”That’s right, Steward Song wanted your Yulu Ointment formula, so he sent us to snatch it.” Zhang Long nodded repeatedly.

”Besides Song Zhong who sent you over, is there anyone else?” Lu Chen asked again.

”No, no, Steward Song…it seems that he doesn’t think much of you.” Zhang Long promised.

”very good.”

Lu Chen let go of his hand and said with a smile: “Go back and tell Song Zhong to make an appointment tomorrow, and let’s have a good talk.”

”ah?”

Zhang Long was stunned for a moment, but he didn’t react.

Negotiate with Song Zhong? Isn’t it like a sheep entering a tiger’s mouth?

What the hell is the person in front of me doing?

”What? Is there a problem?” Lu Chen didn’t change his smile.

”No problem, no problem, I promise to deliver the message.” Zhang Long forced a smile.

”Okay, you can go now.” Chase Lu waved his hand.

”Thank you, brother! Thank you, brother!”

Zhang Long looked happy, and after bowing again and again, he limped and ran to the car.

”etc……”

Lu Chen’s voice sounded again, and Zhang Long was so frightened that he froze and sweated profusely: “Brother, brother…you don’t want to go back on your word, do you?”

”Come out to pretend to be cool in the future, don’t wear a fake mink again, it’s shameful.”

After the words fell, Lu Chen walked away.

Zhang Long was left standing there with a dull face, his ears flushed.

Chapter 1329

Imperial Building, in the window seat on the second floor.

Yin Tao shook the red wine glass and looked at the watery night outside. The moon and stars were reflected in her beautiful eyes, carrying a strange charm.

”Miss…”

At this time, a bodyguard in a suit suddenly stepped forward and reported in a low voice: “There was an accident just now. The target you wanted us to keep an eye on has disappeared.”

”disappear?”

Yin Tao raised an eyebrow: “What do you mean?”

”The target is quite powerful. He just defeated dozens of people with his bare hands and then disappeared mysteriously.” The bodyguard lowered his head.

”Oh? So you’re still a master?”

Yin Tao smiled, her beautiful eyes glowed brightly, and she became more interested: “I thought it was just handsome, but I didn’t expect to have some skills. You can send someone to check and see what is the background of the other party? If the background is right, Win over as many as possible.”

”yes!”

The bodyguard responded and left quickly.

”Interesting, really interesting. I haven’t seen such interesting people in a long time.”

Yin Tao smiled slightly, then picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

She had a hunch that she had found a treasure.



The next day, early morning.

Lu Chen walked out of the hotel and went straight to Jishi Hall.

After getting rid of the people who were following him last night, he found a hotel near Jishi Hall to stay.

The primary mission of coming to Yanjing this time is to treat Xie Sinian and at the same time investigate the past events of that year.

With his current strength and the help of Tian Lingzhu, he is already qualified to pursue the truth.

Five minutes later, Lu Chen walked into Jishi Hall.

Today, Jishi Hall is as lively as ever. The people who come here for medical consultation are all uncles and aunts.

It was chattering like a vegetable market, noisy all the time.

Lu Chen had already greeted Liu Gongquan in advance, so he went directly to the second floor.

The door to the second floor has been opened, and Liu Gongquan has been waiting in the living room for a long time.

”Xiao Lu, are you here? Sit down.”

Liu Gongquan made the invitation with one hand, poured a cup of tea, and said apologetically: “I’m really sorry about what happened last night. Although that girl Xiangsi is willful, she doesn’t have any bad intentions. I hope you don’t have the same experience as her.”

”It’s nothing. What’s in the past is in the past. I just hope she can restrain her temper in the future.” Lu Chen smiled lightly.

Liu Xiangsi is unruly, willful and unreasonable.

If it weren’t for Liu Gongquan’s sake, he wouldn’t be so polite.

Of course, as long as it doesn’t violate his bottom line, there are some things that he doesn’t bother to worry about.

”I will discipline her well in the future, otherwise, if this continues, that girl will get into trouble sooner or later.” Liu Gongquan felt a little ashamed.

”By the way, Doctor Liu, how is Uncle Xie doing?” Lu Chen changed the subject.

”I have just checked. Mr. Xie’s condition is relatively stable for the time being, but it can only last for ten days and a half. We must refine the marrow-cleansing pill as soon as possible.” Liu Gongquan’s expression became solemn.

”Is there any news about the three main ingredients of the Marrow Cleansing Pill?” Lu Chen asked.

”I’ve already asked people to inquire. The Bingxinlian and Golden Marrow Jade are still unknown, but I do know where the Dragon Blood Ginseng is, but it’s a bit difficult to get.” Liu Gongquan sighed.

”Oh? Where is it?” Lu Chen became interested instantly.

”As far as I know, Dragon Blood Ginseng is kept as a treasure by the Wang family and is never easily shown to others.” Liu Gongquan said.

”The Wang family, one of the eight wealthy families?” Lu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.

”That’s right.” Liu Gongquan nodded: “I have heard from you that Mr. Wang has been in poor health. This dragon blood ginseng is a good medicine to extend your life. It is difficult to buy dragon blood ginseng from the Wang family. sky.”

”It’s indeed a bit troublesome, but I still have to try.”

Chase Lu said thoughtfully: “Leave this matter to me. Doctor Liu, please hurry up and find out about the other two elixirs.”

”No problem. I have already mobilized my friends in the medical field. It will probably take a few days to find out the relevant whereabouts.” Liu Gongquan looked serious.

Chapter 1330

”Master, Brother Lu, it turns out you are all here.”

At this time, Liu Cong and Liu Xiangsi suddenly walked in the door.

”Hmph! Come eat and drink again!”

Liu Xiangsi curled her lips with a very disgusted expression.

She has been brooding about what happened last night, especially the scene of Lu Chen and Yin Tao colluding, which made her even more grudge.

”Brother Lu, I heard that you were robbed last night. How was it? Are you okay?” Liu Cong showed a concerned look.

”Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your concern. They’re just a bunch of little thieves. I haven’t taken them seriously yet.”

As Lu Chen said, he suddenly changed the topic and asked, “By the way, Mr. Liu, how did you know that I was robbed?”

”ah?”

Liu Cong’s face froze, but he quickly returned to normal: “Oh, I am very well-informed. No matter what happens in Nancheng, it cannot escape my ears and eyes.”

”So that’s the case.” Lu Chen smiled meaningfully.

I was still wondering last night who had the idea of taking pictures of beautiful women.

Now it seems that there is a high probability that it is Liu Cong.

But he didn’t bother to expose this kind of hypocrite, and he was still useful.

”Brother Lu, the common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade. Although the beauty picture is a treasure, it is also a hot potato. With your identity, you cannot grasp it.” Liu Cong said seriously.

”Oh? Really? According to Mr. Liu, what should I do?” Lu Chen asked.

”It’s very simple. Take action early and get out early, so as to avoid big trouble.”

Liu Cong said with a serious face: “If Brother Lu believes me, you can give me the beauty picture, and I will find someone to auction it for you, and I guarantee to help you sell it at a good price.”

As long as the beauty picture is obtained, he has the final say on how much it will be sold for?

Just a country bumpkin, who has seen anything in the world?

”Is this an auction? Let me think about it first.” Lu Chen pretended to hesitate.

”Don’t think about it. If you stay one more minute, you will be in more danger. I am doing it for your own good!” Liu Cong was impatient.

”Ding ding ding…”

Just when Lu Chen was about to say something, his cell phone rang suddenly. When he connected it, Zhang Long’s voice came quickly: “Boy! Don’t you want to meet Butler Song? I have made an appointment for you. Come here if you have the guts!”

“What did you just call me?” Lu Chen’s voice became colder.

”Little…” Zhang Long was about to shout something, but he seemed to have thought of something. He paused and said hesitantly: “Brother, brother, don’t you want to negotiate? Butler Song asked you to meet at Longfeng Tea House. Come here quickly.”

”Longfeng Teahouse, right? Okay, I’ll be there in an hour.”

Lu Chen hung up the phone, turned to Liu Gongquan and said, “Miracle Doctor Liu, I have to go out for something. I will let you know when there is news.”

”Okay.” Liu Gongquan nodded.

”Brother Lu, I just heard you say that you want to go to Longfeng Tea House?” Liu Cong suddenly asked.

”That’s right, what’s wrong?” Lu Chen squinted.

”Do you know that Longfeng Tea House is the territory of the Song family?” Liu Cong asked again.

”Of course I know. I’m here to negotiate with Song Zhong. Some things should be resolved early to avoid trouble.” Lu Chen said calmly.

”Brother Lu! You are confused!”

Liu Cong patted his thigh and hurriedly advised: “The Song family is ambitious and has been coveting your Jade Dew Cream formula. If you go to negotiate alone, isn’t it like a sheep entering a tiger’s mouth?”

”It’s not certain who is the sheep or the tiger.” Lu Chen looked calm.

”Brother Lu, if you insist on going, I won’t stop you, but to be on the safe side, I advise you to write down the formula of Jade Dew Cream first and give it to us for safekeeping. The Song family will definitely not be able to get the Jade Dew Cream formula. I won’t do anything to you.” Liu Cong was anxious and wise.

If you can’t get a picture of a beauty, it would be great to get the recipe of Jade Dew Cream.

”Young Master Liu is sincere and always considers me. He is indeed a good person.” Lu Chen smiled half-heartedly.

This bitch wants pictures of beauties at one moment and the formula of jade dew ointment at the other. He is really insatiable.

”Everywhere, we are all friends, and it is natural to help each other. Just wait a moment, and I will find paper and pen for you right away. You can write down the recipe in a while, and I will keep it for you.”

After speaking, Liu Cong happily ran downstairs.

Two minutes later, when Liu Cong ran upstairs with pen and paper in hand, he found that Lu Chen had disappeared.

Chapter 1331

An hour later, Longfeng Tea House.

Song Zhong sat by the window on the second floor, sipping tea while watching the flow of people on the street.

There were a dozen tables of people sitting in the teahouse, but compared to the bustle and bustle of the past, today it seemed a bit dull.

All the guests were immersed in drinking tea without any verbal communication.

”Steward Song, that guy is here.”

At this time, Zhang Long, who was standing behind, suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed down.

Song Zhong looked down and saw Lu Chen pacing along the flow of people, looking at the clouds and the wind. No pressure.

”Hmph! How dare you go into danger alone? It’s true that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers!” Song Zhong sneered.

Then he picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.

”Dong, dong, dong…”

Soon, a dull sound of footsteps came.

Lu Chen walked up the stairs unimpeded, glanced around, saw Song Zhong and the others, and sat down directly across the table.

”Butler Song, we meet again.”

Lu Chen smiled and poured himself a cup of tea.

”Mr. Lu, I heard from Zhang Long that you want to talk about business with me. I don’t know what to talk about?”

Song Zhong smiled softly and his attitude was quite polite.

To become the housekeeper of the Song family, he is naturally not a brainless person. If some things can be solved with money, they will not go to war.

”Of course it’s about the formula of Yulu ointment.” Lu Chen cut to the chase.

”oh?”

Song Zhong raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: “It seems that Mr. Lu must have figured it out, tell me, how much do you plan to ask for? Make a price, as long as it is not too outrageous, I will try my best to be satisfied.”

”I don’t want money, I just want you to grab some medicine for me according to the prescription.”

Lu Chen said, took out a prescription and put it on the table, then pushed it over.

These are all precious medicinal materials, there are more than 20 kinds in total, including Bing Xinlian, Dragon’s Blood Ginseng, and Golden Marrow Jade.

The reason why I write so much is to deceive others.

The Song family is a medical family with a century-old foundation and connections all over the country. It is not something that the small Jishi Hall can compare with.

If anyone in Nancheng could collect the three main ingredients of the Marrow Cleansing Pill in the shortest time, it was the Song family.

This is also the main reason why he came to negotiate.

”Let me see what medicinal materials they are?”

Song Zhong picked up the prescription and took a closer look. The smile on his face froze for an instant, and his brows quickly furrowed: “Mr. Lu, most of your medicinal materials are top-grade elixirs, and some are even top-grade elixirs. Every one of them is Money is hard to come by, so if you ask me to collect them all, is it a bit overwhelming?”

”Steward Song, your Song family is a century-old wealthy family, and its influence in medicine is unrivaled. This medicinal material should not be a problem for you, right?” Lu Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip.

A sweet smell instantly flooded into the mouth and nose.

Great tea!

”not a problem?”

Song Zhong’s eyes twitched, and he suppressed his anger and said: “Mr. Lu, your appetite is really too big. The value of these medicinal materials far exceeds the Jade Dew Cream formula. I can’t satisfy you.”

With that said, he pushed the prescription back.

What the hell!

To collect these medicinal materials, the Song family would probably have to spend half of their wealth.

This guy is really a lion.

”Steward Song, the Jade Dew Ointment formula is a treasure passed down from my family. It’s just a few medicinal herbs. I think it’s worth the money.” Lu Chen said.

”How many medicinal herbs are these? These are clearly twenty or thirty medicinal herbs!” Song Zhong couldn’t help but raise his voice several times.

If it is ordinary medicinal materials, forget it, no matter how much, there is no problem.

It just so happens that these are elixirs, and they are also top-grade and top-grade elixirs.

Just one plant is enough to make an ordinary person rich and prosperous for a lifetime.

Chapter 1332

”Steward Song, I think you sincerely want it. Let’s do this. I’ll take a small loss and give you a small change. I only want the first twenty elixirs. How about it?” Lu Chen looked like he was in pain.

”Not even twenty plants!” Song Zhong said with a straight face.

”Then tell me, how much can you give me?” Lu Chen retreated and asked for advice.

”One plant.” Song Zhong raised a finger: “I can only give you one plant!”

”One plant?”

Lu Chen frowned: “Steward Song, are you kidding me? That’s not what you do with bargaining, right?”

”Your Jade Dew Cream formula is only worth one high-grade elixir. This is my bottom line.” Song Zhong was already a little impatient.

If Chase Lu only wants some money, he can still make the decision.

Now the other party is talking nonsense and asking for prices all over the place, completely treating him as a victim.

”Since Butler Song is not sincere, forget it. I believe someone will be interested.”

Lu Chen said no more, put away the prescription, and prepared to leave.

”stop!”

Song Zhong slammed the table and shouted: “Boy! Did I let you go?”

”What? Butler Song still wants to keep me for tea?” Lu Chen turned around and asked.

”Drink your uncle!”

Song Zhong was angry, picked up the teacup, and dropped it heavily to the ground with a “bang”.

The next second, everything moved upstairs and downstairs.

Those who had been pretending to drink tea before drew their weapons from under the table, and then swarmed over.

In just a few breaths, Lu Chen was already surrounded.

A total of fifty or sixty people blocked the entrance to the corridor.

”Boy! Come as soon as you want, leave as soon as you want. What do you think I am?”

Song Zhong stood up suddenly, finally tore off his disguise, and said fiercely: “Now you have only two choices, either you hand over the Jade Dew Cream formula honestly; or I beat you half to death and force you to hand it over again. formula!”

”Steward Song, if the business cannot be concluded without righteousness, and the business cannot be agreed, you will rob openly. What is the difference between this and a robber?” Lu Chen looked around with a calm expression.

”What nonsense are you talking about! If you don’t hand over the formula, you won’t be able to leave the Dragon and Phoenix Tower!” Song Zhong shouted.

”Really? Then I want to give it a try. How many kilograms do you Song family members have?” Lu Chen sneered.

”Song Steward, this kid is very good at fighting, so be careful later.” Zhang Long reminded him at the right time.

”So what if I can fight? I’m a good fighter here, number 50 or 60, I can drown anyone with just one pee!” Song Zhong suddenly glared: “Why are you standing still here? Come on!”

”stop!”

Just when the Song family’s thugs were about to rush forward, a loud shout suddenly sounded at the entrance of the corridor.

Immediately afterwards, a tall and beautiful girl rushed into the crowd aggressively with two bodyguards.

Anyone who stood in the way was kicked away by the girl.

”Who dares…”

Song Zhong slapped the table and was about to yell something. When he saw the girl, he was immediately frightened. He quickly squeezed out a smile and walked towards her: “Isn’t this Miss Wang? What kind of wind brought you here?” Already?”

”Snapped!”

The girl didn’t talk nonsense, she slapped Song Zhong directly, and cursed: “Hey! You dog slave! You dare to move my friend? Are you tired of work?”

”ah?”

Song Zhong was stunned, covering his hot face, a little at a loss: “Friend… friend?”

”Little miracle doctor, we meet again.”

After the beating, the girl turned to Lu Chen and smiled sweetly, with a bit of playfulness.

”It’s you?”

Lu Chen quickly recognized the other party.

The girl was none other than Wang Zixuan, the daughter of the Wang family whom he rescued yesterday.

Chapter 1333
”How’s it going, little miracle doctor? Are you surprised?”

Wang Zixuan smiled and said: “I just saw you on the street and I thought you looked familiar. I didn’t expect it was really you. Last time we said goodbye in a hurry and didn’t have time to say thank you. This time I want to treat you to a meal no matter what.”

”You’re welcome, Miss Wang, it’s just a little effort.” Lu Chen nodded slightly.

”Miss Wang, do you… know this guy?” Song Zhong asked tentatively.
”Snapped!”

Wang Zixuan raised her hand and slapped her again, cursing: “Nonsense! This little miracle doctor is my savior. How dare you attack him? Believe it or not, I will castrate you!”

”Savior?”
Hearing this, Song Zhong was so frightened that his whole body trembled and his legs went limp.
He thought that Lu Chen was just an unknown junior, at most he knew a little bit of medical skills and some fists.

Unexpectedly, behind the other party, there was a daughter of the Wang family supporting him.
This time I made a mistake.

”What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and apologize to the little genius doctor, or I will make you look good!” Wang Zixuan stared.
”thump!”

Song Zhong simply hit his knees on the ground, knelt in front of Lu Chen, and said with a smile: “Yes… I’m sorry, I was confused just now, please Mr. Lu, please ignore the villain’s fault and go around.” Let me live this time.”

”All right, all right, get out of here quickly!” Wang Zixuan was very upset.

”Yes, yes, I’ll go right away.”
Song Zhong nodded and bowed, and quickly ran away.

”stop!”
When he reached the entrance of the corridor, he was stopped by Wang Zixuan’s sweet shout: “When you go back, tell that heartless man named Song, sooner or later, I will make him regret it!”

Song Zhong smiled apologetically, said yes again and again, and then fled with a group of people.
As a wealthy family, the power of the Wang family still has to overwhelm the Song family.

Even my young master had to be courteous when he saw this unruly young lady, and he, the housekeeper of foreign affairs, was even more worthless.

”How are you, little miracle doctor? Are you injured?”
Wang Zixuan turned her head back, smiling like a flower again.

“I’m fine, thanks to Miss Wang coming in time.” Lu Chen smiled.

”How about we are destined to be together? Come on, I’ll treat you to dinner!” Wang Zixuan pulled Lu Chen and prepared to go downstairs.

”Ms. Wang, I won’t eat anymore. I have something I want to ask you for help with.” Lu Chen suddenly said.

”Oh? What’s the matter?” Wang Zixuan was a little curious.

”I heard that the Wang family has a collection of dragon’s blood ginseng. I wonder if it’s true or not?” Lu Chen asked.

”It seems to be the case.” Wang Zixuan nodded thoughtfully.

”To be honest, I need this dragon’s blood ginseng to save my life. If possible, I hope to buy it at a high price.” Lu Chen went straight to the point.

He was still thinking about how to get this dragon’s blood ginseng from the Wang family.
I didn’t expect to have the opportunity so soon.

”Hi! Isn’t it just a plant of medicine? How can I buy it with money? I’ll just give it to you!” Wang Zixuan was very generous.

”Miss Wang, dragon blood ginseng is very precious, I can’t ask for it for nothing, it’s best to buy it with money.” Lu Chen is not greedy.

”Look at what you said. You saved my life. What’s wrong with me giving you a plant of medicine? Come on, come home with me, and I’ll give you the medicine right away!”

Wang Zixuan couldn’t help but pull Chen Lu and got into the car.
Seeing that the other party was so enthusiastic, Lu Chen couldn’t refuse.

About half an hour later, the vehicle stopped at the gate of Wang’s house.

After getting out of the car, Lu Chen followed Wang Zixuan all the way into Wang’s house.

The Wang family is very large and luxurious. In Yanjing Nancheng, where every inch of land is expensive, the whole family is built like a palace, magnificent.
If unfamiliar people come in, they can easily get lost.

Lu Chen and the two walked into the garden and saw a somewhat wealthy middle-aged man directing a group of servants to carefully trim the flowers and plants.

”Steward Wang, come here.”
Wang Zixuan waved to the middle-aged man.

Chapter 1334

”Miss, what are your orders?”

Butler Wang rushed forward with a big smile on his face.

”Let me ask you, do we have a dragon’s blood ginseng in our house?” Wang Zixuan said.

”Indeed, it is now stored in the treasure house.” Butler Wang said truthfully.

”As long as you have it, bring it to me immediately.” Wang Zixuan ordered.

”Miss, what do you want this for?” Butler Wang asked tentatively.

”What do you care about me? Of course I’m useful!” Wang Zixuan was a little impatient.

”Miss, to be honest, this item belongs to the old man’s collection and cannot be used without his permission.” Butler Wang lowered his head.

”You get it for me first, and I will tell grandpa afterwards.” Wang Zixuan said.

”This… seems a bit against the rules.” Butler Wang was a little embarrassed.

”Hey! You don’t even listen to what I say, right?” Wang Zixuan glared: “Take it as long as you are told. Where’s all the nonsense? Go!”

Go ahead and kick Butler Wang in the butt.

”Please wait a moment, Miss.”

Butler Wang had no choice but to leave quickly.

”Little miracle doctor, please sit down for a while and drink a cup of tea. The things will be here in a minute.”

Wang Zixuan smiled, pulled Lu Chen to the pavilion aside, and started drinking tea and eating snacks.

About ten minutes later.

Butler Wang is back again, but this time, there is someone else next to him.

It was a young woman in her thirties.

The young woman was wearing a red cheongsam, with exquisite facial features, a plump and attractive figure, and long black hair tied behind her head, making her look graceful and luxurious.

As the lotus steps moved lightly, two long white legs were vaguely visible from the slits of the cheongsam.

Really, the charm of MILFs is still there.

”Zixuan.”

A cold voice slowly spit out from the beautiful young woman’s mouth.

Wang Zixuan, who was tasting the snacks, trembled all over, and turned her head stiffly, with a guilty conscience on her face: “Mom…why are you here?”

”If I don’t come, wouldn’t you be throwing your family upside down?” Song Qiuyun said lightly.

”How is it possible? I’ve always been very obedient, okay?” Wang Zixuan laughed awkwardly.

She was not afraid of anything except her own mother.

The problem is, her mother never beat or scolded her, but every time she saw her, she would feel faint for no reason.

”I just heard from Zhengping that you want dragon blood ginseng? What are you planning to do?” Song Qiuyun asked again.

”No, nothing.”

Wang Zixuan glared at Steward Wang viciously, and then smiled mischievously: “My friend needs dragon blood ginseng to save his life, so I plan to help him.”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to lead Chen Lu to the side: “Here, this little genius doctor is my friend. Last time I almost drowned, it was he who rescued me in time and pulled me back from the gate of hell.”

”Yeah?”

Song Qiuyun glanced at Lu Chen, although he was calm, but with a sense of scrutiny.

That’s the way a superior person looks at a subordinate person.

”Junior Lu Chen, I have met my aunt.” Lu Chen got up and saluted, with a neither humble nor overbearing attitude.

”You want dragon blood ginseng?” Song Qiuyun said flatly.

”It’s me.” Lu Chen nodded.

”You saved my daughter’s life, I’m very grateful.” Song Qiuyun said, glanced at Butler Wang, and said calmly, “Zhengping, bring the things.”

”Yes.” Steward Wang replied and left again.

”Thank you mom!”

Wang Zixuan looked happy and thought it was done.

However, when Butler Wang brought the things.

Wang Zixuan’s smile froze completely, and Lu Chen couldn’t help frowning.

Chapter 1335

What Butler Wang brought was a box of gold bars.

Under the sunlight, the golden light shines brightly and has more visual impact than money.

”Lu Chen, this is a little thought from my Wang family, and it can be regarded as a reward for your treatment of Zixuan.” Song Qiuyun glanced at the gold bar and spoke very calmly.

”Mom, what do you mean?” Wang Zixuan puffed her lips, a little dissatisfied.

”We, the Wang family, never owe any favors. Lu Chen saved you, and I should repay you with a lot of money. It’s natural.” Song Qiuyun said calmly.

”Auntie, I don’t save people for money.” Lu Chen shook his head.

”Why, is it too little?”

Song Qiuyun didn’t say much and directly made a gesture: “Zhengping, go bring another box.”

”yes.”

Butler Wang responded and prepared to leave again.

”mom!”

Wang Zixuan finally couldn’t help it anymore: “Not everything can be measured by money. What the little miracle doctor needs is dragon blood ginseng, a life-saving elixir, not a few broken gold bars!”

”Dragon blood ginseng?”

Song Qiuyun said expressionlessly: “Do you know that this is your grandfather’s collection? Is it a priceless treasure?”

”What a priceless treasure, isn’t it just a magical elixir?”

Wang Zixuan said with some dissatisfaction: “Besides, my little miracle doctor saved my life. In your eyes, is my life not worth a dragon’s blood ginseng?”

”Your life is naturally valuable, but the value he contributed is far from being able to be exchanged for dragon blood ginseng.”

Song Qiuyun said in a calm tone: “Doctors save people just to make money. He saves your life, and we pay him money as a reward. It is only natural and reasonable, but that’s it. We cannot give up all our precious things just because he saved you.” Give it all to him, business is business, it cannot be elevated to feelings, do you understand?”

”Mom! You…are you too inhumane?” Wang Zixuan was a little angry.

She didn’t expect that her mother regarded her life as a business.

”Auntie is right.”

At this time, Lu Chen suddenly spoke: “It’s just that now, I really need dragon blood ginseng, and I hope my aunt can bear the pain and give it up; of course, I don’t get it for free, I can buy it with money, or I can exchange it for items. I hope my aunt can help me.” “

”A smart guy.”

Song Qiuyun nodded and said calmly: “It’s okay to ask for dragon blood ginseng, but you have to provide something of corresponding value.”

”I wonder what Auntie needs?” Lu Chen asked.

”I heard someone say that you can make a medicine called Jade Dew Ointment, and its effect is very miraculous. It can heal ulcerated wounds in a very short time. Is it true or not?” Song Qiuyun asked.

Ever since her daughter was in danger, she had investigated various people and things, and even Lu Chen had paid some attention to her.

The matter of Jade Dew Cream was purely an unexpected surprise.

As a businessman, she was very interested in it.

”I didn’t expect my aunt to be so well-informed.”

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, quite surprised, but quickly nodded: “Yes, I can indeed make Jade Dew Cream, but this kind of medicine has serious side effects and cannot be produced normally.”

”You are a doctor and you are proficient in pharmacology. It shouldn’t be difficult to make some improvements to reduce the side effects, right?” Song Qiuyun’s eyes were somewhat meaningful.

”If we want to reduce side effects, then the efficacy of the medicine will have to be greatly reduced.” Lu Chen did not hide it.

If he was facing Song Zhongyi, he would naturally not say that.

But this woman in front of me is very powerful.

He has a clear goal, a vicious vision, and a deep scheming mind. It is not easy to deceive the other party.

Of course, the most important thing is that he needs others.

Just be honest with each other.

”After reducing the side effects, how much is the efficacy of the medicine still?” Song Qiuyun asked again.

”About 30%.” Lu Chen said truthfully.

”Thirty percent? That’s enough.” Song Qiuyun nodded: “I am very interested in your Jade Dew Cream. As long as you give me the improved formula, I will give you the Dragon Blood Ginseng. How about it?”

”Auntie, this is an ancestral formula and cannot be sold.” Lu Chen shook his head.

”Everything has its own corresponding value. Besides, you are not selling, but trading. Dragon Blood Ginseng is the treasure you use to save your life. I believe your ancestors will not blame you.” Song Qiuyun looked indifferent. .

”this……”

Lu Chen was in trouble. After hesitating for a few seconds, he seemed to have made up his mind and said, “Auntie, I can give you the formula of jade dew ointment, but one dragon’s blood ginseng is not enough, unless you give me two more. Miraculous elixir.”

”Oh? What else do you need?” Song Qiuyun narrowed his eyes slightly.
