"I submit."

Jiang Zixin finally lowered her proud head and chose to yield.

"Now, you've tasted the feeling of being bullied without the power to resist, haven't you, Jiang Zixin? You need to know, you deserve all of this!"

Gu Yutong remained expressionless. She thought for a moment, but swallowed the rest of her words back down.

She had no obligation to educate someone her own age.

Returning to her father and Chen Xiao, she said softly, "Let's go."

Seeing that the desired effect had been achieved, Chen Xiao nodded and said with a relaxed expression, "Okay, let's go home!"

Jiang Zhenlin finally breathed a sigh of relief. From Chen Xiao's expression, he was clearly not going to pursue the matter any further.

But looking at his sister still kneeling on the ground, he felt a pang of heartache.

"Zixin, it's over. Get up. Let's go home, too."

Jiang Zixin looked coldly at her brother. "It's over? How can you say that?"

Jiang Zhenlin was annoyed. "Jiang Zixin, what are you saying?"

Jiang Zixin said fiercely, "I don't need you to worry about my affairs anymore. I'm going to find Dad and Grandpa. If I don't avenge today's humiliation, I won't live!"

After saying that, she stood up and ran.

She ran as fast as she could, because she felt like the whole world was mocking her. She was fleeing from those mocking voices.

Jiang Zhenlin hurriedly went to chase after his sister. Before leaving, he didn't forget to glare fiercely at Chen Xiao.

He vowed silently in his heart, "New grudges and old hatreds, I, Jiang Zhenlin, have noted them all down today. Chen Xiao, if I don't avenge this, I, Jiang Zhenlin, am not worthy to be a human!"

The Jiang siblings walked further and further away. Da Jun walked up to Chen Xiao, saying with some concern, "Boss Chen, should I get rid of them for you? These two have the ambition of wolves and will probably seek revenge in the future!"

Chen Xiao smiled. "If they want revenge, let them come. Life would be too boring without a few enemies."

Da Jun was ashamed. He could never catch up with Boss Chen's level of thinking!

"Da Jun, thank you and the brothers for today. Help me thank them properly."

Seeing Chen Xiao being so polite, Da Jun quickly said, "Boss Chen, don't say that. Everyone feels honored to be able to work for you!"

This was the first time Chen Xiao had blown the whistle, and the effect could be described as overwhelming.

In fact, it was a very small matter, which he could have easily resolved on his own.

The reason he chose to make such a big show was entirely for Gu Yutong.

If Gu Yutong were just an ordinary girl, he wouldn't have done this, but Gu Yutong happened to have the rare Underworld Palace Body, seen only once in a century.

This meant that Gu Yutong's life would not be ordinary.

Although only Liu Wuji, the sect leader of the Liu Sect, knew this secret now, there were no airtight walls in the world, and no secret could be kept forever.

Once the secret was spread, Gu Yutong's body would definitely become the target of countless cultivators and powerful figures.

At that time, Gu Yutong would inevitably experience countless bloody storms.

But the current Gu Yutong was delicate and innocent, clearly unable to withstand such hardships.

Therefore, Chen Xiao could only infiltrate her life little by little, making her stronger.

First of all, he had to help her build confidence and understand that she lived in a world where the strong preyed on the weak.

Kindness might be a good quality, but kindness to the enemy was cruelty to oneself.

Gu Zhendong clearly understood Chen Xiao's intentions, so he entrusted everything to Chen Xiao today.

Moreover, he was very satisfied with the result.

If he had done it himself, he wouldn't have achieved the same effect as Chen Xiao.

So, after returning home, Gu Zhendong sent Gu Yutong to the side and invited Chen Xiao to his bedroom.

"Chen Xiao, I have to thank you properly. Thanks to you, Tongtong seems like a different person. I can tell that today's events have made her grow a lot."

Chen Xiao waved his hand. "Uncle Gu, you don't have to be so polite. We're already in the same boat. Tongtong's affairs are also my affairs."

Gu Zhendong nodded. "Yes, you're right. The Liu Sect branch was destroyed by you, and that bastard Liu Wuji will definitely not let it go. The fact that he hasn't made a move for so long means he must be planning something big. Chen Xiao, you must be careful in everything you do!"

Chen Xiao deeply agreed. "Respond to all changes with constancy. As long as one's strength is strong enough, all conspiracies and tricks are paper tigers in the face of absolute power!"

"What you say is true, but with one in the open and one in the dark, we're still somewhat passive. Chen Xiao, Uncle Gu can't help you with anything else for the time being, but only this item is worth taking out. Please be sure to accept it."

As he spoke, Gu Zhendong took out a box, which contained the Nine Dragon Coffin, capable of curing all poisons in the world.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xiao quickly declined. "Uncle Gu, this is absolutely not allowed. The Nine Dragon Coffin is too precious. I can't accept it!"

Gu Zhendong glared. "Chen Xiao, if you don't accept it today, you're looking down on Uncle Gu!"

"Moreover, this treasure is for saving lives. I don't see people often, so this thing is just a piece of junk in my hands. But you're a doctor, and it can only发挥 (fā huī - bring into play) its role in your hands."

Speaking of this, Gu Zhendong suddenly sighed.

"Actually, this can also be considered as a small atonement for the sins I committed back then."

Gu Zhendong had blocked all the reasons Chen Xiao could refuse, so Chen Xiao had no choice but to accept it.

"Alright then, Uncle Gu, I'll accept the Nine Dragon Coffin. Don't worry, I'll definitely use it to save a few more people."

Gu Zhendong thought for a moment and said, "There's no need to take it out for use too often. After all, it still contains Liu Wuji's Dao imprint. Every time you use it, Liu Wuji can sense it. If you keep provoking him, he might be driven to desperation."

Chen Xiao frowned slightly. "Well, this problem is indeed a bit tricky. It seems I can only completely use it for my own purposes after I awaken my divine sense and erase his Dao imprint."

Gu Zhendong smiled without saying anything, because in his opinion, Chen Xiao possessing a divine sense was still a very distant matter, maybe even years away!

Little did he know that even if Chen Xiao cultivated normally, he could awaken his divine sense in another ten days or half a month.

"Uncle Gu, as the saying goes, reciprocity is important. However, the gift you gave me is too precious, and I don't have a gift of equal value to return. I just happened to make a few protective charms a few days ago, which may be useful to Tongtong."

Chen Xiao took out a teardrop-shaped charm. He had included Gu Yutong's share when he made it that day.

Gu Zhendong didn't stand on ceremony with Chen Xiao. When he took it and looked at it, his eyes widened immediately.

As the saying goes, an expert sees the trick. Gu Zhendong knew at a glance that this protective charm was no ordinary object.

He said exaggeratedly, "Chen Xiao, this is a great treasure. I didn't expect you to have this skill. What kind of freak are you? How can you know everything?"

Chen Xiao smiled and brushed it off. "I'm just lucky. I've just encountered some opportunities."

Then Gu Zhendong suddenly made a request that Chen Xiao didn't know how to deal with.

"Chen Xiao, why don't you just take Tongtong as your own!"
