Chapter 378: Chapter 378: Who ruined it, step forward!

Watching the amulet being idly toyed with in the hands of Ye Congling, Chen Xuan immediately warned, "The value of this amulet is far beyond your imagination. Return it to me immediately, or I will not be polite!"

Ye Congling wore a look of disdain. "Oh yeah? Let’s see how you’ll be impolite then!"

Ye Congling was convinced that Chen Xuan would not dare to cause trouble at the Liangjiang Marquis’s estate, which emboldened him to act so recklessly.

At that moment, Zhai Tao was also eager to show off in front of Ye Congling.

"What is this rubbish that you treasure so much! I really want to see how valuable this thing can be!"

With that, Zhai Tao snatched the amulet from Ye Congling’s hand and hurled it to the ground!

"No!" Chen Xuan exclaimed in alarm.

He wanted to intervene immediately, yet he was still a step too late.

Smack!

The wooden Guanyin smashed heavily onto the ground, and immediately a crack formed!

Everyone laughed heartily, taking delight in the misfortune.

Zhai Tao also wore a look of self-satisfaction, reveling in his deed.

"A piece of broken wood, and you dare to say..."

Zhai Tao was full of disdain, just about to scoff.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened.

Hum!

A tremendous rumbling noise arose, and a seven-colored stream of light suddenly poured out from the crack in the wooden Guanyin, shooting straight into the sky.

The next moment, the seven-colored stream of light actually formed a seven-colored circular halo above the estate!

This halo hovered above the estate, resembling the legendary Buddha’s light that illuminates the land!

"My heavens!"

"What... what is going on?!"

"A miracle! This is a miracle!"

"The bodhisattva has manifested! The bodhisattva has manifested!"

All those present were deeply shaken by the sight before them; many even knelt on the ground, kowtowing to the halo in the sky.

A sudden appearance of the seven-colored Buddha’s light, a spectacle they had never seen in their lifetimes!

Zhai Tao and Ye Congling, gazing at the seven-colored Buddha’s light in the sky, were also in disbelief.

They had just clearly seen that these streams of seven-colored light were indeed escaping from the crack that had formed in the wooden Guanyin.

Could it be that this seemingly ordinary wooden Guanyin was really not a common object?

At this moment, Chen Xuan was thoroughly enraged.

The Thunderstruck Jujube Wood used for this wooden Guanyin was something he had managed to find in the antique market with great difficulty.

The formation on it had taxed his mental energy, painstakingly arranged using the divine incantations and secret methods from his memory.

It could be said that this entire wooden Guanyin was the work of his life’s blood.

But now, this treasure had been thoughtlessly destroyed by Zhai Tao, an action utterly despicable!

Chen Xuan looked at Zhai Tao and bellowed furiously, "Who gave you the nerve to destroy my thing!"

As he spoke, a powerful killing intent erupted in an instant, frightening Zhai Tao into breaking out in a cold sweat.

Even the surrounding people were intimidated by Chen Xuan’s formidable presence, feeling the air become thin and breathing a bit difficult.

Zhai Tao was greatly alarmed inside, as he had not expected this young man’s strength to be so formidable!

But Zhai Tao also was not worried, after all, this was the Liangjiang Marquis’s estate, and no matter how strong this person was in front of him, he definitely wouldn’t dare to harm him here.

Thinking of this, Zhai Tao suddenly became fearless.

"Hmph, it’s just a piece of broken wood, so what if it’s destroyed? What can you possibly do to me? At worst, I’ll just compensate you with some money. One thousand yuan, is that enough?" Zhai Tao’s mouth curled up in a mocking smile, clearly trying to provoke Chen Xuan.

Ye Congling and the others, seeing Chen Xuan being infuriated by Zhai Tao yet feeling helpless, couldn’t help but take pleasure in his misfortune.

However, the next moment.

"Seeking death!"

Without any hesitation, Chen Xuan raised his hand and slapped Zhai Tao across the face, knocking him to the ground.

At this moment, the entire place went silent!

Ye Congling and the others were dumbfounded; they had never dreamt that Chen Xuan would dare to take action in the Liangjiang Marquis’s residence!

Zhai Tao was thoroughly dazed by the slap. After picking himself up from the ground, he became furiously embarrassed, "Bastard, do you know who I am? How dare you lay a hand on me, you must be tired of living!"

Ye Congling also coldly shouted at the Guard Captain, "You all saw it, right? This guy actually had the audacity to strike someone in the Liangjiang Marquis’s residence. Aren’t you going to arrest him right away?"

Although the Guard Captain also felt that Zhai Tao, who had taken someone else’s property and damaged it, deserved to be hit, as guards of the Marquis’s house, they naturally had the duty to maintain stability.

But right as the Guard Captain was about to take action against Chen Xuan, a furious shout abruptly erupted, "Stop, all of you!"

As the voice died away, Lei Tianzong arrived, flanked by a contingent of bodyguards.

"We pay our respects to the Marquis!" Everyone was thrown into a panic and hastily bowed to greet him.

Lei Tianzong’s face was grim, "What exactly is going on here?"

Before the Guard Captain could reply, Zhai Tao quickly spoke up to complain, "My lord, this young man was making a scene in your residence and even resorted to violence. Please punish him for his offense!"

Ye Congling inwardly gloated, thinking Chen Xuan was in for trouble for causing a disturbance in the Liangjiang Marquis’s residence.

Yet the next moment, as Lei Tianzong’s eyes settled on Chen Xuan, his expression was immediately one of pleasant surprise.

"Miracle Doctor Chen, so you’ve arrived. My apologies for not welcoming you sooner!"

At this moment, Zhai Tao and Ye Congling stood there, completely stunned.

The great Liangjiang Marquis was treating Chen Xuan with such courtesy; what was the meaning of this?

Then, He Yuwan, holding Lei Dong in her arms, smiled and said, "Divine Doctor, it seems you and Xiao Dong are truly fated. He was crying just now, but stopped as soon as he saw you!"

Hearing this, Chen Xuan’s anger slightly eased, and he teased the child’s chubby cheeks with a smile, "Yes, looks like Xiao Dong missed me, didn’t you?"

"Hahaha..." Amidst Chen Xuan’s teasing, Lei Dong actually cracked a smile.

This scene made Lei Tianzong and He Yuwan burst into laughter.

But the onlookers were already staring in disbelief.

This Chen Xuan was not only capable of having a laugh with the Liangjiang Marquis and his wife but could even joke with the Young Prince.

It turned out that Chen Xuan’s relationship with the Liangjiang Marquis’s family was much closer than any of them had realized!

Just then, He Yuwan suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, Doctor Chen, you mentioned last time that you’d make an Amulet for Xiao Dong, did you bring it this time?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan’s expression turned sour instantly.

"I had brought it, but unfortunately, it was destroyed by some short-sighted fool!"

"What? Destroyed?!" He Yuwan exclaimed in shock.

When she saw the shattered wooden Guanyin on the ground, her face instantly turned pale.

She had been worried sick about Lei Dong coming down with the same terrifying illness he had before and had been looking forward to Chen Xuan’s Amulet. She hadn’t expected it to be destroyed midway!

Lei Tianzong’s face also turned utterly livid, "Who destroyed my son’s Amulet? Come forward now!"

Plop!

Zhai Tao could no longer stand the pressure and fell to his knees, frightened.

"My lord, please have mercy!"
