Chapter 1033 A Special Jinx Charm
"Shut up! What right do you have to ask the King of Korean Medicine, Mr. Park, to see you?!" the subordinate shouted.
"It seems you don't understand human language!"
Without hesitation, Chen Xuan raised his hand and slapped the subordinate hard across the face.
"You dare hit me! Beat him up for me!"
The subordinate yelled.
The people around swarmed forward, instantly surrounding Chen Xuan. A group of fierce and ferocious individuals, with bared teeth and brandished claws, were about to beat him.
Suddenly, a cold shout rang out, "Stop!"
Park Jin Guk strode over.
Everyone showed a respectful expression and quickly stopped, saying respectfully, "Mr. Park!"
Park Jin Guk sized Chen Xuan up and down, saying with disdain, "As expected, a brute from the wilds of Xia Country, so vulgar! No wonder you would commit acts of murder!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan seemed to understand something. His eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Was it the Su family from the capital, or the Shi family who sent you?"
"That's none of your business!"
Park Jin Guk adopted a condescending attitude. He glanced at Chen Xuan and said coldly, "Boy, I want to challenge you with my medical skills. Do you dare to accept?"
"You, wanting to challenge me?" Chen Xuan scoffed, "You are no match for me."
"Not your match?"
Park Jin Guk was taken aback, his face filled with disdain.
"I've been in Xia Country for a month now. I've visited thirteen provinces in your Xia Country and met many self-proclaimed geniuses and aloof old Chinese medicine practitioners, but they all lost to me. Who do you think you are?"
"That's because you haven't met me. If you had, your journey in Xia Country would have ended."
Chen Xuan smiled faintly and said, "However, I don't want to deal with you yet. Be sensible and hurry back to Han Country, or don't blame me for being impolite."
"You truly are unbelievably arrogant!"
Park Jin Guk gritted his teeth and said, "So, you are refusing my challenge?"
"Precisely!"
Chen Xuan nodded.
"It seems you're asking for a beating!"
Park Jin Guk stared intently at Chen Xuan, and his subordinates also began to surround them.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Chen Xuan's gaze sharpened as he looked at Park Jin Guk's face and shouted.
Park Jin Guk was startled, then sneered, "Have you agreed?"
Chen Xuan nodded slightly and said, "Park Jin Guk, I see a bloody disaster in your future. I advise you to obediently return to Han Country, or you might not leave Xia Country intact."
"You can read fortunes?"
Park Jin Guk said proudly, "Fortune-telling was also transmitted from our Han Country. What can your crude Xia Country practices discern?"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan felt an urge to slap Park Jin Guk several times for his shamelessness, claiming that even fortune-telling was learned from Han Country.
However, Chen Xuan didn't act because, from his facial reading, Park Jin Guk was about to have terrible luck!
Just then, with a bang, a small truck driving by the roadside suffered a blowout. The vehicle's trajectory instantly shifted, and it violently swerved towards Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan was quick enough to dodge, but Park Jin Guk was unlucky and was in the same area.
Although the bodyguards were Park Jin Guk's men, in a moment of life and death, who would bother saving Park Jin Guk? They immediately scattered.
Park Jin Guk's face turned pale with fear, and he was in a panic. He quickly retreated, and his foot caught on a stone on the ground, tripping him.
The speeding small truck, with its blown-out tire, had lost control and violently lunged towards Park Jin Guk's legs.
"Ah—"
A scream echoed.
The immense pain caused Park Jin Guk to break out in a sweat, his face deathly pale, his entire face contorted in pain.
The surrounding people rushed over to check on Park Jin Guk's condition. Both of Park Jin Guk's legs were fractured and covered in blood.
Park Jin Guk had someone take out silver needles and, gritting his teeth, inserted a few into his legs to temporarily stop the bleeding.
Looking at his legs, Park Jin Guk was filled with rage. With broken legs, he would be unable to walk for at least three months, which was a huge blow to the current Park Jin Guk.
Chen Xuan chuckled and said, "Park Jin Guk, didn't I tell you? Didn't I say you'd have a bloody disaster?"
Park Jin Guk glared at Chen Xuan furiously, "You sent someone to do this...?"
Chen Xuan spread his hands and said with a wry smile, "This really wasn't me..."
Park Jin Guk clearly didn't believe him, "It must have been you! I'll make you pay the price!"
Chen Xuan looked helpless, "What does this have to do with me?"
Just then, the driver jumped out of the truck. Seeing this, he was stunned, his face pale. Trembling, he said, "I really didn't do it on purpose. The tire just suddenly blew out."
"How about this, I have insurance on the car. We'll compensate you as required. Let me take you to the hospital first..."
Upon hearing this, Park Jin Guk's expression darkened slightly.
He could tell that this incident had absolutely nothing to do with Chen Xuan. It was likely just a coincidence. After all, Chen Xuan didn't know when he would arrive at the Su family in the provincial capital, and he couldn't have arranged for people to do this in such a short time.
"Hurry and take me to the hospital!"
Forgetting everything else, Park Jin Guk glanced at his subordinate and immediately gave the order.
The subordinates immediately helped Park Jin Guk up and headed for the car. Before leaving, Park Jin Guk coldly said to Chen Xuan, "Boy, you wait for me. You can't escape tomorrow's competition!"
After speaking, Park Jin Guk got into the car and headed to the hospital.
Now that his legs were crushed, he had lost a lot of blood and needed a cast.
Watching Park Jin Guk leave, Chen Xuan shrugged and turned to walk into the Su family villa in the provincial capital.
"It seems that truck was coming for me..."
In the bedroom, Chen Xuan's eyes flickered.
Chen Xuan had just performed a divination and calculated that someone had used a jinx charm on him. After the truck's tire blew out, it came at him, which could have seriously injured him. However, he had reacted quickly enough to make Park Jin Guk, that unlucky fellow, the scapegoat.
Chen Xuan attempted to undo the jinx charm but failed, furrowing his brow, "There are jinx charms I can't undo?"
He found that even he couldn't undo this jinx charm, which was truly unbelievable. It seemed the person who used the jinx charm on him was no ordinary individual.
"However, do you think I'm helpless because of this?"
Chen Xuan chuckled.
Then, Chen Xuan took out some items, fashioned a straw effigy, and wrote a talisman with cinnabar, sticking it onto the effigy. After completing everything, he immediately felt relieved.
This straw effigy was not an ordinary one; it was meant to bear the bad luck for Chen Xuan. The talisman pasted on it was called a substitution charm, inscribed with Chen Xuan's birth date and time, which could transfer the misfortune from the jinx charm to the straw effigy.
Although he couldn't remove the jinx charm, he could use this straw effigy to bear the bad luck for him, and thus he would be safe.
"Who exactly can draw such a specialized jinx charm?"
Chen Xuan rubbed his chin, his face full of curiosity.
As for why he had provoked such a person, Chen Xuan already knew the reason. It was definitely because he had helped Song Ran. The person who had played a trick on Song Ran had realized it and therefore used a jinx charm on him, intending to take revenge.
