Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Seeking Chen Fan

Tang Chuchu and Tang Wenxuan were both frightened by this sudden turn of events.

After a long while, Tang Wenxuan finally regained his composure, supported the barely breathing Tang Qingwu, and placed her on a chair, "Qingwu, what’s wrong with you? Why... why did you become so aged in the blink of an eye?"

Tang Chuchu was so scared that she felt as if her soul had fled, and she collapsed beside Tang Qingwu in a panic, "Sister, don’t scare me..."

Tang Qingwu had no strength left in her body, her aged face filled with weariness, and although her mouth opened, she could not make a sound.

At that moment, someone ran over, "Patriarch, you should go outside and see, something strange is happening above the residence."

Tang Wenxuan frowned, then instructed Tang Chuchu, "Take good care of your sister!"

He then hurriedly walked outside to the courtyard.

By this time, many people of the Tang Family had already come out, looking up at the sky.

Tang Wenxuan looked up, and when he saw the words "Paying debts is a matter of course," his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood what was going on.

"Is this... is this the doing of that Chen Fan?" Tang Wenxuan was filled with shock, staring at the words in the sky, momentarily in a daze.

Even though he had the power of the Grandmaster Realm, turning someone’s youth to white hair in a blink of an eye, and writing words in the sky, such skills were unheard of to him.

Let alone him, even his father, the expert of the Transformation Realm, might not be capable of such feats.

"Wenxuan, what’s going on?" A voice brought Tang Wenxuan’s thoughts back to reality.

Tang Wenxuan turned his head and saw his father, Tang Yuanshan, approach.

He sighed, "It’s a long story."

Thinking of Tang Qingwu’s condition, Tang Wenxuan did not hesitate, "Dad, you should go see Qingwu, her condition is not looking good!"

The two rushed to the room together.

Tang Yuanshan entered the room, his eyes falling onto Tang Qingwu, his expression abruptly changed, and he quickly stepped forward, "What happened! Why has Qingwu become like this!"

Tang Chuchu started sobbing, "I... I don’t know either, sister just suddenly became like this, she was fine just before, woo woo woo..."

Tang Wenxuan said, "Dad, check if there is still a way to remedy this, right now the entire business of the Tang Family is in Qingwu’s hands, if something happens to her, our Tang Family will be finished!"

Tang Yuanshan approached Tang Qingwu, took her pulse, and then tried to transfer Inner Strength into her body, but Tang Qingwu’s condition did not improve and instead worsened.

Feeling Tang Qingwu’s pulse, his face showed a trace of despair, "Qingwu’s body is now like that of a centenarian, her pulse is extremely weak, I’m afraid she won’t last many days."

Tang Wenxuan felt his vision darken, stepping back a few steps and nearly stumbling, almost falling.

Then he looked at Tang Chuchu and slapped her face, "This is all your doing!"

Tang Yuanshan furrowed his brow, "What exactly is going on, explain it to me clearly!"

Tang Wenxuan had to tell about Tang Chuchu agreeing to use half of the Tang Family’s assets in exchange for the Gathering Yuan Pill.

"Today Chen Fan came to collect debts from Chuchu, but Chuchu flatly denied it, and as a result, Qingwu became like this." Tang Wenxuan said in grief.

Tang Wenxuan’s face was grim, and after glancing at Tang Chuchu, he scolded furiously, "Fool! The Gathering Yuan Pill, such a divine elixir, might not even be able to be produced by the Medicine Sect; if Chen Fan has that ability, his methods are surely not simple. Did you really think you could default on such a person’s debt!"

Tang Chuchu’s face was filled with grievance, "I... I didn’t know things would turn out this way... The guy didn’t have any written agreement; I thought since his words carried no proof, that’s why I had that thought, who would have expected..."

Tang Yuanshan’s veins bulged with rage at the sight of his granddaughter, wishing he could slap her to death.

Unable to vent his anger, he kicked Tang Wenxuan’s body, "This is the good daughter you have raised!"

Tang Wenxuan’s face showed his guilt as he quickly tried to divert the old man’s attention, "Dad, what should we do now that Qingwu has become like this?"

Tang Yuanshan pondered for a long time and sighed, "Go beg Chen Fan."

"The commotion he caused is a warning to our Tang Family. If he can turn Qingwu into this, he can certainly restore her to normal. As long as we meet his demands, Qingwu can be saved."

Tang Wenxuan looked astonished, "Dad, that kid is asking for half of the Tang Family’s property!"

Tang Yuanshan glanced at Tang Wenxuan, "What of it if it’s half the property? If Qingwu can’t recover, we’ll be facing the decline of the entire Tang Family! If you had any competence, we wouldn’t be at someone’s mercy like this."

Tang Wenxuan sullenly shrank his neck, not daring to rebut.

Tang Yuanshan looked at Tang Chuchu again, "Take this fool with you to find Chen Fan. Have her kneel and apologize to him. If she can’t obtain his forgiveness, cast her out of the Tang Family, never to return!"

...

Chen Fan and Ling Xiaohan returned to the residential area together.

In his hand, he was carrying a briefcase, inside which was the electric stone.

All along the way, Ling Xiaohan remained somewhat silent. When they reached the residential area, she couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Chen Fan, who... exactly are you? Even Miss Lu of the Lu Family knelt down to you in public. You must be a very influential person, right?"

Chen Fan smiled, "I don’t have any background. It’s just that Miss Lu has received my help."

"Alright then." Ling Xiaohan clearly didn’t believe it.

She continued to ask, "Is the debt the Tang Family owes you real? That Tang Chuchu... seems reluctant to acknowledge it."

Chen Fan said, "Of course it’s real. Whether she acknowledges it or not, the debt won’t go away. They will pay it off sooner or later."

Ling Xiaohan nodded earnestly, "Mm! I believe in you, Brother Chen Fan!"

The two returned home, where Gao Weiwei had already changed into her little bear pajamas and was sitting on the couch with a face mask on.

Seeing Chen Fan return, she immediately humphed and headed to her room, muttering, "Not going to sleep with your Miss Lu, but coming to our house. Shameless."

Ling Xiaohan gave Chen Fan an embarrassed look, "Brother Chen Fan, Weiwei is the school belle. Everyone usually adores her, which is why she’s a bit spoiled. Please don’t take it to heart."

Chen Fan smiled, "Don’t worry, I’ve never taken her seriously."

Relieved, Ling Xiaohan then went to Gao Weiwei’s room to persuade her.

After washing up, Chen Fan returned to his room.

He opened the briefcase and took out the electric stone. A powerful current climbed up his arm, numbing his whole body, and the lights in the room flickered on and off because of it.

"Let’s see what you really are."

Chen Fan released his Spiritual Power and instantly shattered the stone into powder, revealing an orange-sized Thunder Essence orb wrapped inside the stone.

The Power of Thunder kept jumping on it, affecting the electricity of the entire residential building.

Chen Fan quickly set up a barrier to isolate the Power of Thunder and a pleased curve formed on his lips, "As I thought, it’s the Thunder Essence!"
