Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Black Against Black

All three of them looked utterly astonished.

Zhou Buwen gave Tang Chuchu another look and said, "Girl, don’t come here trying to bluff us three old codgers. Isn’t the Gathering Yuan Pill in Chen Fan’s possession?"

Tang Chuchu felt a sudden panic inside, and a hint of alarm flashed across her face.

How did they know about the origin of the Gathering Yuan Pills? That bastard Chen Fan, it’s detestable how he blabbers everything! She thought.

Striving to remain calm, she smiled and said, "That bastard Chen Fan felt guilty towards me, so he gave me a bottle of Gathering Yuan Pills as compensation."

The three of them still looked skeptical.

Huo Liancheng said, "Words alone aren’t enough. Show us the Gathering Yuan Pill. Otherwise, who knows if you’re trying to fool us?"

Tang Chuchu immediately took out the jade bottle, opened the lid, and let the three smell the fragrance of the medicine. "Uncles, by just smelling this fragrance, you should be able to tell how the elixir is," she said.

The three sniffed the aroma carefully and found that the scent of the elixir in Tang Chuchu’s bottle was exactly the same as the one in Chen Fan’s possession.

They exchanged glances and were almost certain that the elixir in Tang Chuchu’s hands was the Gathering Yuan Pill.

Sun Xiaotian immediately became excited again and asked eagerly, "How do you plan to sell this elixir?"

Tang Chuchu pondered for a moment, "There are a total of eighteen pills in this bottle. Given that the three of you are my elders, I’m asking for ten billion for the whole bottle. How does that sound?"

Sun Xiaotian did some quick calculations and found that Tang Chuchu’s asking price was much cheaper than Chen Fan’s.

He looked towards Zhou Buwen and Huo Liancheng and asked, "Gents, what do you say?"

Huo Liancheng was somewhat tempted; eighteen Gathering Yuan Pills for ten billion was quite a bargain.

Zhou Buwen, however, rolled his eyes and said to Tang Chuchu, "Girl, wait for us to discuss this for a moment."

He then led Sun Xiaotian and Huo Liancheng over to the side.

Sun Xiaotian said, "Eighteen for ten billion, if our three families join forces to buy it, with each family getting six pills, it’s definitely a very cost-effective deal."

Huo Liancheng nodded in agreement, "It’s indeed much cheaper than what Chen Fan was asking for."

Zhou Buwen chuckled and said, "I think... we can get our hands on this bottle of pills without spending a dime."

Sun Xiaotian and Huo Liancheng both looked surprised.

"What do you mean by that?" asked Huo Liancheng.

Zhou Buwen glanced at Tang Chuchu not far away and said with a smile, "Haven’t you realized? That bottle of Gathering Yuan Pills is most likely stolen by the girl from Chen Fan."

"Chen Fan has a grudge with the Tang Family, so for one Gathering Yuan Pill, he took seventy percent of the Tang Family’s assets. And yet, this girl claims Chen Fan felt guilty towards her and gifted her a bottle of Gathering Yuan Pills. Don’t you find that contradictory? Besides, you’ve met Chen Fan. Do you think he would give away Gathering Yuan Pills that easily?"

Sun Xiaotian nodded, "Judging by the girl’s behavior, it’s indeed very likely.

Huo Liancheng looked at Zhou Buwen, "What are you suggesting?"

Zhou Buwen grinned mischievously, "Since she stole the Gathering Yuan Pills, even if we snatch them directly from her hands, she certainly wouldn’t dare make a fuss. Given this, why should we waste our money?"

Huo Liancheng hesitated, "Isn’t that a bit too much?"

Zhou Buwen said, "What’s wrong with that? She’s the one who stole something first. As elders, we would be helping her correct her mistake."

Sun Xiaotian, who was in dire need of Gathering Yuan Pills, nodded in agreement, "Alright, let’s go with your plan then."

Seeing this, Huo Liancheng had no choice but to consent, "Fine, let’s do as you say."

The three men returned to Tang Chuchu’s side.

Tang Chuchu was excited, telling herself that after such a long discussion, they must have decided to buy the Gathering Yuan Pill from her, "Uncles, how about it, do you want to buy it?"

Zhou Buwen said, "Let me smell it again, to make sure this elixir is real."

Tang Chuchu took out the jade bottle but hadn’t opened the lid yet.

Zhou Buwen snatched it from her hands.

Tang Chuchu’s face changed, and she hurried to snatch it back, but how could she outcompete a Transformation Realm master? She could only say anxiously, "What... what are you doing? You haven’t paid yet, give me back the bottle!"

Zhou Buwen sneered, "Girl, you better come clean, is this elixir something you stole from Chen Fan?"

Tang Chuchu looked extremely flustered, "No... it’s not, Chen Fan gave it to me."

"Is that so? Chen Fan was with us all afternoon today, shall we go and ask Chen Fan in person right now?" Zhou Buwen said, pretending to take Tang Chuchu away.

Tang Chuchu’s legs turned to jelly, fearing that if Chen Fan found out she had stolen the Gathering Yuan Pill, he might break her legs.

"I... I won’t go, don’t touch me!"

Seeing Tang Chuchu’s reaction, Zhou Buwen confirmed his suspicion and scolded, "Don’t you know stealing from others is wrong!"

Frightened, Tang Chuchu’s body shuddered, and she burst into tears, "I... I just felt it was unfair. That bastard made everyone neglect me. I only took one bottle of his elixirs, what did I do wrong!"

A trace of mockery flashed in Zhou Buwen’s eyes as he said seriously, "It’s wrong to steal. Since that’s the case, I’ll keep this bottle of elixir for now. I’ll give you a chance and won’t tell Chen Fan. You go back and make a fresh start, and it’s best not to mention this to anyone, got it?"

Tang Chuchu stared wide-eyed, "But... but..."

Zhou Buwen’s face turned cold, "But what? Do you want me to take you to Chen Fan right now?"

Tang Chuchu quickly shook her head.

She wasn’t foolish and knew she had been robbed blind, but what could she dare to say?

Of course not.

She cast a glance at Zhou Buwen, her chest heaving with anger as she shouted, "You all bully me!"

Then, she ran off as she sobbed loudly.

Zhou Buwen smiled smugly, turning to Sun Xiaotian and Huo Liancheng, "Now the Gathering Yuan Pill is in our hands."

Huo Liancheng asked, "What if Chen Fan finds out about this?"

Zhou Buwen scoffed, "So what if he discovers it? He’s a junior and should naturally pay his respects to us. Besides, we three are at the sixth level of the Transformation Realm, are we afraid of a junior?"

Huo Liancheng and Sun Xiaotian exchanged glances, both nodding with smiles.

"We took this elixir from Tang Chuchu, what does it have to do with Chen Fan? If he doesn’t take good care of his things and loses them, he deserves it," Sun Xiaotian said with a laugh.

Huo Liancheng couldn’t agree more, and the three reached a consensus.

Zhou Buwen gave Sun Xiaotian and Huo Liancheng six pills each, and the three left the Martial Arts Association contentedly.

Evening.

After dinner, Chen Fan and Lu Beihai Lu Qinghuan returned to the Tang Family.

As soon as he entered his room, he sensed something was off.

Although the items in the room hadn’t changed since he left, his spiritual soul perception was far beyond ordinary people, and he instantly noticed an anomaly, "Has someone been in here?"

He surveyed the room and when his gaze fell on the empty table, he couldn’t help but let out a puzzled sound, "Eh? Where’s my Soft Bone Pill?"
