Chapter 271 Visitors from the Capital
As Chen Xuan was lost in thought, Mo Xiaoxue rushed over, her face filled with excitement. "Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan, I broke through!"
Her beautiful eyes fixed on Chen Xuan, sparkling with shock.
She had tried to break through to the Inner Strength Grandmaster realm countless times without success. Yet, a single pill from Chen Xuan had allowed her to shatter the barrier she had been stuck behind for so long!
Now, she was officially an Inner Strength Grandmaster, earning a monthly salary of two hundred thousand!
"Good."
Chen Xuan nodded with satisfaction as he observed the surging aura emanating from Mo Xiaoxue's petite and delicate body.
"What kind of clothes do you want me to change into?" Mo Xiaoxue asked, appearing rather demure.
Chen Xuan appraised Mo Xiaoxue from head to toe.
At that moment, he suddenly changed his mind.
Mo Xiaoxue, appearing as a harmless little girl, would be more effective at catching people off guard.
"You look just fine as you are," Chen Xuan said with a faint smile.
Mo Xiaoxue breathed a sigh of relief.
She was very fond of her current attire.
Just then, Su Yunxi, with her graceful figure, sauntered over.
Her beautiful and captivating face was still as radiant as ever.
"Yunxi," Chen Xuan greeted her.
Su Yunxi blinked her beautiful eyes and smiled sweetly. "There's something I'd like Doctor Chen to help with. Do you happen to have some free time, Doctor Chen?"
Chen Xuan rolled his eyes. "Yunxi, don't tease me. Just tell me what's wrong. Do you think I would refuse?"
Su Yunxi offered a gentle smile. "The Martial Alliance Grandmaster of Jiangzhou is not feeling well and has been seeking medical treatment everywhere. I was hoping you could go and examine him."
"The Martial Alliance Grandmaster of Jiangzhou?" Chen Xuan frowned.
Su Yunxi nodded. "Yes, the Martial Alliance Grandmaster of Jiangzhou. Although he's just the Grandmaster of Jiangzhou's Martial Alliance, he oversees the order of martial artists in the Jiangzhou region. He can decide the life or death of a martial arts power and even controls the operating permits for martial arts schools. Getting to know such a person would be very beneficial for you."
Chen Xuan understood Su Yunxi's good intentions.
He was currently developing Xuanji Hall, and Su Yunxi wanted to pave the way for him.
However, with his own strength, he didn't need to curry favor with powerful figures.
Chen Xuan smiled. "Yunxi, thank you for your kindness, but I don't think it's necessary. I can handle the forces at Xuanji Hall on my own."
Su Yunxi frowned, feeling that Chen Xuan's approach to handling matters was not ideal.
However, she still respected him. "I just felt that I used the media connections of the Martial Alliance back then, and it was through the connections of the Martial Alliance Grandmaster. I wanted to return a favor. If you're unwilling, that's fine. I'll find another way to owe him a favor another day."
"Never mind, having an extra connection means having an extra contact."
Chen Xuan hesitated for a moment before changing his mind.
After all, this favor was owed because of him by Su Yunxi.
Su Yunxi's heart lit up with joy.
She still very much hoped for Chen Xuan to associate with the Martial Alliance Grandmaster of Jiangzhou.
With the connection of the Martial Alliance Grandmaster of Jiangzhou, Chen Xuan's development of martial arts forces would be much smoother.
"Then I'll take you there."
Su Yunxi said with a smile, offering to drive him there together.
Suddenly, Su Yunxi received a phone call and appeared quite anxious. She turned to Chen Xuan with a hint of apology. "Chen Xuan, I'm afraid I don't have time to take you. The company has encountered some matters that need my attention."
"It's alright. Just send me the address, and I'll go by myself," Chen Xuan waved his hand.
Su Yunxi nodded and turned to get into her car.
Chen Xuan looked at Mo Xiaoxue and instructed, "Xiaoxue, you must stay by your sister Yunxi's side and protect her closely."
"I know!"
Mo Xiaoxue's voice was sweet, and she looked very well-behaved.
Who would have thought that this little loli was already an Inner Strength Grandmaster who could move freely in Jiangzhou?
This "cute" ultimate weapon would eventually come in handy!
Su Yunxi, driving a fiery red Ferrari, braked and stopped to the side. Mo Xiaoxue, with her short legs, opened the car door and climbed in with her hands and feet, looking endearingly clumsy.
"We're leaving now!"
Waving goodbye, Su Yunxi sped off in her car.
Soon after, Chen Xuan also received the location of the Martial Alliance Grandmaster of Jiangzhou from Su Yunxi.
Chen Xuan glanced at the address and drove away from the villa.
At this moment, a Rolls-Royce with a capital city license plate entered Jiangzhou from the highway entrance.
Inside the car sat an old man wearing a centipede-patterned shirt, along with a胖 and a 瘦 middle-aged man.
"So this is Jiangzhou. The scenery is quite beautiful. I wonder if there are any good-looking women in Jiangzhou's nightclubs."
The 瘦 middle-aged man leered, his gaze occasionally sweeping over the beautiful women in hot pants and t-shirts by the roadside.
The 胖 middle-aged man sneered. "Tch, how dirty are common women? Such low taste!"
"You dare say my taste is low? Is yours really high?" the 瘦 middle-aged man retorted angrily.
"Lolis are the purest, the cleanest beings in the world! These worldly women don't even catch my eye." The 胖 middle-aged man's eyes showed a hint of obsession when he mentioned lolis.
The 瘦 middle-aged man angrily spat, "Bah, corrupting minors! You are a scoundrel! Your taste is anything but high!"
Seeing that the 瘦 and 胖 middle-aged men were about to start a fight, the old man in the centipede-patterned shirt said coldly, "Both of you, shut up! We are here in Jiangzhou to conduct business for the main family, not for you to chase girls. If you delay the important matters, I'll slap you to death."
At his words, the 胖 and 瘦 middle-aged men immediately fell silent, showing a hint of fear. "We will do our utmost."
"We've arrived in Jiangzhou. We'll split up. You two go and capture Su Yunxi for me." The old man with the centipede pattern fiddled with his walnuts, not even lifting his eyelids.
The 胖 middle-aged man frowned, showing some apprehension. "Attendant Mo, the two of us? I heard that Su Yunxi's live-in son-in-law can fight against an Inner Strength Grandmaster."
"I've already made arrangements. That live-in son-in-law won't be present," Attendant Mo narrowed his eyes, a cold glint within them.
"What are you afraid of? He just defeated that trash Grandmaster of the Tang family. I fought him to a draw back then. With our combined strength, even if we encounter Su Yunxi, that trash live-in son-in-law, what can he do to us?" the 瘦 middle-aged man scoffed.
Although Grandmaster Yan was an Inner Strength Grandmaster, there were different levels of Inner Strength Grandmasters. Grandmasters of Grandmaster Yan's caliber were merely slightly stronger half-step Inner Strength Grandmasters in the capital.
Attendant Mo sneered, "You two half-step Inner Strength Grandmasters can't even catch a person?"
The 胖 middle-aged man felt a vague sense of unease, but with the 瘦 middle-aged man having said it to this extent, if he refused to go, wouldn't that be admitting defeat?
He said sternly, "Attendant Mo, rest assured!"
...
Chen Xuan drove to an ancient-style villa according to the location Su Yunxi had sent.
He parked his car at the entrance and walked in.
On the villa's lawn, a teenage boy of fifteen or sixteen with piercing eyes was practicing boxing. Though young, he was already a true Inner Strength martial artist!
His boxing techniques generated strong gusts of wind and appeared very fierce.
This young man was precisely the son of the Martial Alliance Grandmaster of Jiangzhou, Young Master Long Ming.
Chen Xuan took one look and realized that the boy's boxing, though seemingly fierce, was actually vulnerable. He was completely on the wrong path. With good intentions, Chen Xuan advised, "Your boxing is too aggressive. What is overly strong tends to break. You should change your approach."
"Who are you?"
Young Master Long Ming was startled by this. He shot Chen Xuan a sharp glance.
He appraised Chen Xuan for a few seconds, his brows furrowing with a hint of displeasure.
"I'm here to see the Grandmaster of Jiangzhou's Martial Alliance," Chen Xuan stated calmly.
Young Master Long Ming immediately showed disdain.
Recently, countless people had come claiming to be there to see his father, all trying to curry favor with their family. This fellow was likely no different, wanting to attach himself to the Long family.
Young Master Long Ming snorted, "So you're a doctor. No wonder your aura is so weak. You probably haven't even cultivated Inner Strength. What right do you have to lecture me!"
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, feeling slightly displeased, but said nothing.
However, Young Master Long Ming showed no intention of stopping. He admonished Chen Xuan in an elder's tone, "You're not young anymore, probably twenty-seven or twenty-eight. You're already a grown man, have you even started practicing martial arts? That Mr. Chen from Jiangzhou, at such a young age, can instantly defeat a ninth-grade Inner Strength Master with a single move. He at least has the strength of a half-step Inner Strength Grandmaster."
"Look at you. You're about the same age as Mr. Chen, but your strength is worlds apart. If I were to smash myself to death with a piece of tofu, what right do you have to point fingers at me?"
