Chapter 153 Refused Again
In the living room, Wei Chang Geng and Su Qian were sitting on the sofa, drinking tea.
Seeing Chen Xuan return, Wei Chang Geng smiled and said, "Aren't you back..."
"Uncle Wei, Uncle Su." Chen Xuan stepped forward, bracing himself, and greeted them.
Wei Chang Geng teased, "Still calling me Uncle Su? I heard from Brother Su that you're planning to discuss your engagement."
Chen Xuan was stunned and couldn't help but look at Su Yun Xi, asking in surprise, "Why didn't you tell me about this?"
Su Yun Xi's cheeks flushed. "Dad just told me today, and you weren't here, so how could I tell you?"
"Hahaha! I'll have to have a good drink at the engagement banquet!" Wei Chang Geng laughed heartily.
Then, Wei Chang Geng looked at Chen Xuan and said seriously, "Chen Xuan, you are about to start a family. As the saying goes, 'establish a family, then establish a career.' You won't refuse the invitation to join the Yan Huang Iron Brigade this time, will you?"
"Uncle Wei, I really have no intention of joining the Yan Huang Iron Brigade." Chen Xuan had to say.
"This is the second time your Uncle Wei has come, you won't even give me this face, will you?" Wei Chang Geng smiled.
Hearing this, Chen Xuan forced a few bitter smiles and looked to Su Qian for help.
Su Qian knew Wei Chang Geng's temper. When he saw talented people, he wouldn't let go until he got them. Even he couldn't stop him.
Chen Xuan took a breath and said solemnly, "I appreciate Uncle Wei's kind offer, but I truly have no intention of joining the Yan Huang Iron Brigade."
Wei Chang Geng was taken aback and said in a deep voice, "Your defeat of Gu Feng has already attracted Elder Fang's attention. Elder Fang said that if you don't join the Yan Huang Iron Brigade, he will come to find you personally."
Chen Xuan frowned.
Su Qian's expression changed slightly, and he was astonished. "Elder Fang? Elder Fang is coming in person?"
"Uncle Su, who is Elder Fang?" Chen Xuan couldn't help but ask.
"Elder Fang is Uncle Wei's teacher, one of the founders of the Yan Huang Iron Brigade in Jiangnan Province. He holds a high position and his achievements are immeasurable. Although he has retired to the second line, he still holds significant power in Jiangnan Province." Su Qian explained.
"I came this time at Elder Fang's behest, and it is imperative that I bring Chen Xuan into the Yan Huang Iron Brigade," Wei Chang Geng said.
Su Qian was also somewhat moved. Chen Xuan's performance had attracted Elder Fang's attention, and his future prospects would be even brighter. Since there was no good platform at the moment, joining the Yan Huang Iron Brigade temporarily wouldn't be bad.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Wei, but if Elder Fang really wants to come, so be it." He shook his head.
"Do you know the consequences of Elder Fang coming?" Wei Chang Geng's face suddenly turned cold.
"Whatever the consequences, I will bear them alone!" Chen Xuan's voice was sonorous and powerful.
The atmosphere became tense for a moment, with a hint of swordsmanship.
Wei Chang Geng stared at Chen Xuan with a cold gaze for a while, then suddenly laughed heartily, "You truly are someone that both Brother Su and I have taken a liking to. A young man with backbone!"
Su Yun Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for your praise, Uncle Wei." Chen Xuan smiled faintly.
"Don't thank me yet. I wonder if you'll still have such backbone when Elder Fang comes in person," Wei Chang Geng said with a half-smile.
"Elder Fang is known for his short temper and his preference for winning people over with martial arts. This might be a bit troublesome," Su Qian said with a wry smile.
Refusing the Yan Huang Iron Brigade's face time and again, Wei Chang Geng and Su Qian were good friends and might not mind, but Elder Fang would not give him such face.
Chen Xuan smiled faintly, unconcerned.
After Wei Chang Geng left, Su Qian sat on the sofa and said with a smile, "Chen Xuan, I'm planning to hold an engagement ceremony for you and Yun Xi in a few days. What do you think?"
Chen Xuan pondered for a moment, hesitated, and said seriously, "Uncle Su, can we wait a few more days?"
Su Yun Xi frowned.
"Is there something you need?" Su Qian raised an eyebrow.
"The toxins in my mother have not been completely cleared. I want to hold the engagement ceremony after my mother has fully recovered her consciousness. I want my mother to witness my engagement with Yun Xi clearly," Chen Xuan said in a deep voice.
"Dad, then let's wait for now. It's not that urgent," Su Yun Xi said softly.
"Chen Xuan, your filial piety is commendable. Alright, then I'll stay in Jiangzhou for a few more days. Those demons and ghosts won't dare to come to Jiangbei to trouble you," Wei Chang Geng said, glancing at Chen Xuan.
"Dad, are you leaving?" Su Yun Xi asked.
"I've rested for a while, and it's time for me to go back to work," Su Qian said with a smile.
Chen Xuan's expression flickered, and he was somewhat curious about Su Qian's job.
Judging from Su Qian's words, even the Dark Blood organization dared not act rashly in Jiangbei. His future father-in-law, who was not an internal energy martial artist, nor a shaman, and had no cultivation, why did he have such great ability?
Had he misunderstood?
As he went upstairs, Chen Xuan told Su Yun Xi about his two-day trip to Jiangbei the next day.
Su Yun Xi looked at Chen Xuan nervously, "What are you going to do? Will it be dangerous?"
Chen Xuan smiled, "How can it be dangerous?"
"By the way, where is your peace charm?" Su Yun Xi looked at Chen Xuan's chest, saw that the red thread that tied the charm was gone, and immediately asked.
"Uh... I might have lost it."
Su Yun Xi rubbed her forehead and gave Chen Xuan a look, "I'll get you another one tomorrow."
"No need."
"No!"
The next afternoon, on the highway, in a Maybach traveling from Jiangzhou to Jiangbei, Chen Xuan leaned against the car, closed his eyes to rest, and a triangular peace charm hung around his neck. He carefully put it in his怀.
Although this triangular peace charm was fake, it carried Su Yun Xi's deep concern, and could no longer be measured by its authenticity.
More than two hours later, in front of a luxurious villa in the suburbs of Jiangbei, more than a dozen wealthy businessmen from Jiangbei were waiting.
Passersby around them all stopped and stared, their mouths wide enough to fit an egg.
Whether it was Murong Yuan or Zhang Pang Zi, they were all prominent figures in Jiangbei. What kind of important person was coming?
At this moment, a brand new Maybach stopped in front of the gate, and a young man in his early twenties, dressed ordinarily, got out of the car.
Murong Yuan and the others greeted him enthusiastically, while the surrounding onlookers were stunned.
"Master Chen, you've finally arrived!" The wealthy businessmen of Jiangbei greeted him one after another.
"Hello everyone." Chen Xuan greeted them faintly.
"Quick, quick, please come in!" Murong Yuan said with a smile, extending his hand.
Chen Xuan strode towards the villa. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
Just as everyone was returning to the villa, a shifty-eyed young man in a corner took a picture of Chen Xuan and quietly posted it.
"Mr. Chen, it's great that you could come. Now we wealthy businessmen of Jiangbei have a backbone," Murong Yuan said, beaming.
"Mr. Murong, you're too kind. Regardless, Fang Yaozu was exposed by me. Otherwise, the Fang family would not have retaliated against the Jiangbei affluent families," Chen Xuan said faintly.
"Master Chen, please rest for a while, or you can look around Jiangbei first. Tonight, we will head to Yuehua Lake," Murong Yuan said.
Murong Yuan stood up to leave, but the other wealthy businessmen clearly had no intention of leaving. Many of them boldly stepped forward to invite Chen Xuan:
"Master Chen, if you have time, please come and help me with feng shui."
"Yes, Master Chen, we also want to invite you to look at feng shui. I heard that after Zhang Pang Zi had you look at his feng shui, he made over two hundred million in the past few days."
