Chapter 97: Chapter 097: Caution is the Parent of Safety

Lei Wanlong’s expression changed as he said, "You mean to say that the one who beat up Reddy and helped Cui Fengjiu is the same person?"

Grand Master Luu nodded, "As things stand now, it seems to be undoubtedly so!"

On the side, a high-ranking member disdainfully said, "So what? That Chen Xuan is just one person after all, no matter how powerful, there’s a limit to his abilities!"

Grand Master Luu shook his head, "I have studied under a Martial Arts Sect and have seen my fair share of martial artists. A truly formidable martial arts master alone can be a match for a thousand soldiers, and this saying is not an exaggeration! Not to mention anything else, just take our Nanhu’s very own ’Blood-handed Monk Butcher Banruo’ as an example—isn’t he someone to be wary of?"

At the mention of the ’Blood-handed Monk Butcher Banruo,’ the color drained from everyone’s faces.

Being from Nanhu, they naturally knew what kind of untouchable figure he was!

"Do you mean to say that this Chen Xuan is a martial arts master as formidable as Butcher Banruo?" someone asked.

"Butcher Banruo is extremely powerful, a true martial arts master. Chen Xuan, coming from the small Huai City, naturally cannot be compared with Butcher Banruo. However, the fact that he could help Cui Fengjiu annihilate Black Tiger Hall overnight proves he is no ordinary character!" Grand Master Luu said, always cautious in his conduct and objective in his explanations. This was precisely the main reason Lei Wanlong trusted him deeply.

After all, the world of martial arts doesn’t revolve around who’s strong today and who’s stronger tomorrow.

What’s most important is the adage ’careful sailing lasts for ten thousand years.’

"So what are you suggesting we do?" Lei Wanlong looked towards Grand Master Luu.

"In my opinion, we should first find out all we can about this Chen Xuan. If he’s all show and no substance, there’ll be time enough to seek revenge for today’s arrow."

Lei Wanlong nodded, his eyes fierce.

In fact, Lei Wanlong had long coveted the ’cake’ of Huai City.

Previously, with one phoenix and one tiger—two powers—he didn’t make his move. Now that only Cui Fengjiu remained, he saw this as an opportunity to swallow Huai City whole!

"Let’s do as Grand Master Luu suggests! Once I have everything figured out, I will turn Huai City into a river of blood!"

The next day, nearing noon, Chen Xuan’s phone rang. It was Zheng Qingxue.

"Mr. Chen, are you free this afternoon? My grandfather would like to invite you to our home for lunch. Would that be convenient for you?"

"Of course, it’s convenient."

"Great, shall I come to pick you up now?"

"Oh, no need for that, I can make my own way over."

After the call, Chen Xuan drove to the Zheng Family’s residence.

Just as he arrived at the entrance, Zheng Nianyao and Zheng Qingxue came out to welcome him, and among them was a man Chen Xuan had never seen before.

The man appeared to be thirty-five or thirty-six, standing there like a javelin, straight and tall, with a handsome and resolute appearance.

Judging by his aura alone, one could tell that the man was not ordinary, especially the determined and steady demeanor in his eyes which could instill a sense of reverence from deep within the common folk.

A man of the military!

This was Chen Xuan’s intuitive guess about the man’s identity.

As it turned out, Chen Xuan’s guess was not wrong.

"Mr. Chen, let me introduce you, this is our Zheng Family’s eldest grandson, Zheng Yunfeng!" said Zheng Nianyao, beaming with pride.

"Mr. Chen saved my grandfather’s life, improved our Zheng Family Fist Technique, and has shown our family great kindness. I, Zheng Yunfeng, have not yet given you thanks. Please accept my bow!" And with that, Zheng Yunfeng attempted to bow deeply to Chen Xuan, but was stopped by a quick intervention.

"Brother Yunfeng, you’re too courteous. It was a trivial matter, not worth mentioning," Chen Xuan said as Zheng Yunfeng looked on, slightly taken aback.

Although Chen Xuan merely lifted his hand lightly for support, Zheng Yunfeng had already sensed a profound strength from his gesture.

Zheng Yunfeng was very clear that this Mr. Chen before him had truly extraordinary capabilities!

After that, a group of people led Chen Xuan into the villa.

In the living room, a lavish array of dishes had been laid out, enough to rival even those of five-star hotels.

During the feast, Chen Xuan naturally became the center of attention, with the Zheng family continually toasting to him with great enthusiasm.

After three rounds of drinks, the guests and hosts were all in high spirits.

"Elder Zheng, we’ve had quite a bit to drink now, so what is the matter you wanted to discuss with me today? Can you speak of it now?"

Chen Xuan certainly didn’t believe that Zheng Nianyao had invited him over just for a simple meal.

Zheng Nianyao was first startled, then burst into laughter, "Indeed, nothing escapes Mr. Chen’s keen eyes. Actually, inviting Mr. Chen over this time, I indeed have a favor to ask!"

"What is it? Just tell me, Elder Zheng."

"It’s about Yunfeng," said Zheng Nianyao, glancing at Zheng Yunfeng.

Previously, Zheng Yunfeng’s strength had been stuck at the level of a Third-rank War General for many years without a breakthrough.

It had been thought that after practicing the Zheng Family Fist Technique modified by Chen Xuan, a breakthrough might be achieved, but to no avail. Not only was there no change, but even his previously stable cultivation level had been somewhat affected, causing Zheng Nianyao great concern.

After all, Zheng Yunfeng was their Zheng family’s hope for the future. Any mishap would be a tremendous loss for the Zheng family!

With no other options, Zheng Nianyao thought of asking Chen Xuan for help.

After listening to Zheng Nianyao’s explanation, Chen Xuan nodded, "I see. Brother Yunfeng, how about I diagnose your pulse first?"

"That would be much appreciated!"

Zheng Yunfeng hurriedly extended his arm.

Chen Xuan’s fingertips touched the pulse, and since it was related to martial arts, merely feeling the surface pulse wouldn’t reveal much.

With a thought, Chen Xuan channeled a stream of True Qi into Zheng Yunfeng’s body. Like countless tendrils, it instantly filled every mysterious vein within Zheng Yunfeng.

In a moment, the condition of Zheng Yunfeng’s entire body presented itself in Chen Xuan’s mind in a clearly discernible fashion.

Shortly after, Chen Xuan reopened his eyes.

"Mr. Chen, what is the situation?" The Zheng family members all looked eager.

"The problem with Brother Yunfeng actually still lies in the previous Zheng Family Fist Technique!"

"Brother Yunfeng has been practicing the Zheng Family Fist Technique since he was young, and over time, his meridians have been damaged, which naturally affects his ability to break through. However, that is not the main issue."

"If I am not mistaken, Brother Yunfeng, you suffered serious injuries one year ago and five years ago, with neither injury being promptly treated."

"Especially the one from five years ago, which left a chronic issue, causing you pain whenever you exert force!"

"These are actually the fundamental reasons why Brother Yunfeng cannot break through!"

Chen Xuan outlined all of Zheng Yunfeng’s problems in one breath.

Zheng Yunfeng had already widened his eyes in shock, his face filled with disbelief.

Because everything Chen Xuan said was true, without a single discrepancy!

The Zheng family was also astounded. Simply by taking the pulse, he had managed to discern the nature of Zheng Yunfeng’s past injuries, diagnose chronic issues, and describe the symptoms when they flared up.

Such skills were indeed astonishing!

Of course, what concerned Zheng Nianyao the most was not these details.

"Mr. Chen, I wonder if there is a cure for Yunfeng’s condition?"
