Chapter 1533 Goodbye Zhang Xiaolong
"Who do you think you are, get lost."
Chen Xuan shoved Mr. Yin aside and walked to Elder Zhuang's front.
Mr. Yin's gaze turned cold, and he raised his sleeve to swing out a circular dart that shot towards the back of Chen Xuan's head.
He faintly felt that this Chen Xuan might indeed be able to detoxify him.
"Chen Xuan, be careful!"
Su Yunxi shouted.
Chen Xuan seemed to foresee what was about to happen. Before Su Yunxi could warn him, he grabbed a fruit knife beside him and flicked his wrist. With a clang, the dagger collided with the dart, emitting a flash of fire. The dart flew back and fiercely embedded itself at Mr. Yin's feet.
"If you dare to sneak attack me again, I will twist your head off."
Chen Xuan's cold voice rang out, but he didn't bother with Mr. Yin, as Elder Zhuang's poison needed to be dealt with quickly to avoid sequelae.
Looking at the dart on the ground, Mr. Yin knew he had likely encountered a formidable opponent.
"Elder Zhuang, let me detoxify you." Chen Xuan squatted down in front of Elder Zhuang.
"Thank you for your trouble," Elder Zhuang said. "Young man, your bold attempt, even if it fails to cure the poison, will not be blamed."
Chen Xuan smiled slightly and tapped Elder Zhuang's chest. The next moment, Elder Zhuang felt a stuffy sensation in his chest, followed by him spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The blood was dark and, upon hitting the ground, seemed to have strong corrosive properties.
After spitting out the blood, Elder Zhuang felt refreshed. He looked at Chen Xuan in surprise: "Young man, you are truly Hua Tuo reborn."
"Just a small trick, not worth mentioning," Chen Xuan chuckled.
"Elder Zhuang, how are you?" asked the Zhang family head.
Elder Zhuang circulated his internal energy. His internal energy surged like a vast ocean, flowing smoothly. He said, "I am fine now."
"That's great!"
"Patriarch Zhang, watch me deal with this guy!"
With that, Elder Zhuang sprang up with the agility of a carp.
Seeing this, the Zhang family head was overjoyed.
Elder Zhuang clenched his fists, his internal energy surging like a boundless sea, its terrifying power sweeping in all directions.
Although he had been injured, after the detoxification, there was no lingering effect. This young man was truly remarkable.
"Die!"
Elder Zhuang glared at Mr. Yin and said word by word.
"How is this possible? How did you detoxify it, boy?"
Mr. Yin could not believe his eyes.
Chen Xuan shrugged: "To dare to show off your meager poison in front of an expert, truly embarrassing!"
"You..."
"Die!"
Elder Zhuang leaped high into the air and brought his palm down.
This palm strike surged with internal energy, gathering the power of thunder, filled with an aura of destruction.
"Ah—"
Mr. Yin, after all, was only a half-step Mythical realm expert. In terms of strength, he was no match for Elder Zhuang. He was struck in the chest by Elder Zhuang's palm and immediately passed out, half-dead.
"Elder Zhuang, there's no need to kill him."
The Zhang family head quickly intervened.
Today was Zhang Xiaolong's wedding day, and it was not appropriate to shed blood. Otherwise, he would have let Elder Zhuang kill this fellow with a single palm.
He dared not easily kill someone from the Kang family, but killing an outsider was acceptable.
"It's alright, he's just fainted," Elder Zhuang retracted his hand and said calmly.
The Zhang family head nodded and looked at Kang Ping: "Boy, it seems your people are not that impressive."
"Hmph, you're lucky."
Kang Ping's face turned pale, then flushed. He did not leave but instead walked towards the hall with a flick of his sleeve.
"Keep an eye on him, don't let him cause any trouble."
Kang Ping's continued presence made the Zhang family head very wary. He said to a nearby servant.
"As you command!" the servant replied quickly.
Then the Zhang family head clasped his hands and bowed to Chen Xuan in thanks: "Mr. Chen, you have helped my Zhang family once again. I truly don't know how to repay you."
He then turned to Su Yunxi and flattered her: "Miss Su, you have truly found a son-in-law worthy of the heavens."
Su Yunxi smiled, feeling very pleased.
Chen Xuan waved his hand: "It's just a small matter, consider it a gift for Xiaolong."
"You know my Xiaolong?"
The way he addressed "Xiaolong" so casually, as if he had called him countless times, made the Zhang family head pause.
"No, I don't," Chen Xuan said quickly.
He thought to himself, "I almost slipped up."
"Indeed, my Xiaolong is rather unremarkable, how could he possibly know Mr. Chen?" the Zhang family head said self-deprecatingly.
Chen Xuan shrugged and said nothing, then turned to walk towards their seats with Su Yunxi.
Not long after they had left, Zhang Xiaolong hurried over, looking very angry: "Dad, I heard the Kang family is causing trouble for our Zhang family?"
"Why are you here?"
Seeing Zhang Xiaolong in a white suit, the Zhang family head was startled.
"I rushed over when I heard the Kang family was causing trouble. To dare to trouble us, they must be utterly fearless!" Zhang Xiaolong rolled up his sleeves.
"Today is your big day, please maintain some decorum."
"Uh..."
"Don't worry, the Kang family has already been dealt with," the Zhang family head said with a smile.
Zhang Xiaolong's eyes darted around, and he looked at Elder Zhuang, smiling ingratiatingly: "Grandpa Zhuang, you must be the one who beat them, right? You're getting more and more powerful. I really regret not learning martial arts from you back then. Otherwise, I would also be a martial arts master."
Elder Zhuang said, "I dealt with them, but it was also thanks to Mr. Chen."
"Mr. Chen?"
Chen?
Zhang Xiaolong's expression changed slightly.
Because of his lingering thoughts about Chen Xuan, even hearing the surname Chen made him feel something unusual.
"Chen Yiming?"
"No, it's Mr. Chen Xuan."
"Where is he?"
"Over there!"
Zhang Xiaolong looked in that direction and saw Chen Xuan's back from afar, holding Su Yunxi's hand as they walked forward. He was stunned: "Doesn't this person's back look familiar??"
"Xiaolong, do you know Mr. Chen?" the Zhang family head asked with a smile.
"No... no, I don't. It's just that the back looks familiar. This person looks very much like the back of a friend of mine." Zhang Xiaolong thought it was just a similar back.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and prepare for the wedding. It's getting late," the Zhang family head said.
"Then I'll head over first."
Zhang Xiaolong prepared to turn and leave, but his gaze kept drifting towards Chen Xuan. Just then, Chen Xuan also turned his head.
The two made eye contact!!
That familiar face struck Zhang Xiaolong like lightning, stirring up a storm within him.
"Chen Yiming? How could it be him?"
Zhang Xiaolong exclaimed with an incredulous expression.
Chen Xuan offered a smile and a polite nod, then turned his head away, inwardly lamenting his bad luck. He just wanted to freeload a meal, why did he have to run into Zhang Xiaolong?
However, he wasn't panicked. Many people looked alike. As long as he acted normally, Zhang Xiaolong would never be suspicious.
Just as Zhang Xiaolong was suspecting that Chen Xuan was Chen Yiming, a cheer suddenly erupted nearby: "Wow, it's brother-in-law! I didn't expect brother-in-law to be here too!"
The speaker was Zhang Xiaohu, a friend of Wei Linlin!
"Brother-in-law? What brother-in-law?" Zhang Xiaolong grabbed Zhang Xiaohu.
"Big brother, that's my friend's brother-in-law. He's very skilled in martial arts. Even our school's top boxing club president couldn't defeat him. I didn't expect him to attend your wedding. You've got a lot of face." Zhang Xiaohu pointed at Chen Xuan.
