Chapter 90: Chapter 90: The Eve of the Battle of Life and Death

The woman looked at Chu Yunkuo with aggrievement, "My dear..."

Chu Yunkuo raised his hand and commanded, "I told you to kneel and apologize!"

The woman trembled with fear, then quickly knelt down in front of the delivery guy, "I’m... I’m sorry."

The delivery guy was so shocked that he dared not move, casting a pleading look towards Chen Fan.

Chen Fan smiled and patted his shoulder, "Don’t be nervous, it’s only right that she apologizes to you."

The delivery guy swallowed his saliva and nodded at Chen Fan.

Chu Yunkuo looked at the delivery guy with a face full of apologies, "Rest assured, I will compensate you with a new electric scooter and pay for your medical and mental distress, I apologize for the fright you’ve had."

The heart of the delivery guy was in turmoil; being personally compensated by Mr. Chu was undoubtedly the highlight of his life.

Chen Fan looked at Chu Yunkuo, "Mr. Chu, you really must be more discerning when choosing a girlfriend, or else, in the end, you’ll only harm yourself."

Chu Yunkuo quickly nodded, "Master Chen is right to reprimand me. I only found out about this woman’s true colors today, and I will break up with her now!"

He glared at the woman, his face darkening, "From today on, you are no longer my girlfriend. Your house, car, expensive jewelry, and bank cards, I will take them all back. Don’t let me see you again!"

The woman panicked instantly, without Chu Yunkuo, she was nothing.

She knelt and crawled to Chu Yunkuo, grabbing his leg with a face full of regret, "My dear, I know I was wrong, please give me one more chance, I can’t live without you!"

Chu Yunkuo kicked her away, "Your survival is none of my damn business! If I keep you around, then I won’t be able to live!"

He then contacted the members of the Chu Family to arrange compensation for the delivery guy.

After expressing his approval of Chu Yunkuo’s actions, Chen Fan also left.

Only the woman was left alone, collapsed on the ground, weeping bitterly like a clown.

...

The old Ding family house.

As soon as Chen Fan entered, he bumped into Ding Ling.

Ding Ling came over with a smile, "Chen Fan, what have you been up to?"

Chen Fan said, "I went for a stroll in the herbal medicine market, looking to buy an aged medicinal herb, but I had no luck."

Ding Ling’s eyes lit up, "You should’ve told me earlier; our family has a two-hundred-year-old ginseng! I’ll take you to get it right now."

Chen Fan smiled, indeed he hadn’t expected the Ding family to have aged medicinal herbs, otherwise he would have asked before leaving the house.

He followed Ding Ling to the backyard.

After rummaging through the storeroom, Ding Ling came out with a brocade box.

"See if it meets your needs." Ding Ling handed the brocade box to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan opened it and saw that it was indeed a spiritual medicine of excellent quality, good enough for his breakthrough.

"How much for this herb? I’ll buy it," Chen Fan asked.

Ding Ling waved her hand dismissively, "You saved my father’s life, I can’t possibly take your money for an herb, that would make me seem thoughtless."

Chen Fan did not stand on ceremony, "Then thank you very much."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a lovely figure dashed over and snatched the brocade box containing the ginseng away.

"Sis, I promised this ginseng to Hao, how can you just give it away like that!" A beautiful girl three or four years younger than Ding Ling said discontentedly.

Ding Ling frowned, "Ding Yao, hurry up and return the ginseng to Chen Fan, he is the lifesaving benefactor of my dad!"

Ding Yao’s face was full of defiance, "So what if he is? He cured our uncle, isn’t paying him money enough? This two-hundred-year-old ginseng is quite rare!"

Ding Ling was speechless, she directly took the brocade box from Ding Yao’s hands and returned it to Chen Fan, apologizing with a face full of regret: "She is my uncle’s daughter, spoiled since childhood, willful and unruly. Don’t lower yourself to her level."

Then she turned her head and glared at Ding Yao, "You’re getting more and more out of control!"

Ding Yao still looked defiant, "He’s just a doctor, isn’t he? Giving him a ginseng that’s two hundred years old is a waste. But if Hao gets it, there’s a chance he can become a legendary Inner Strength master. Then he could become a new star in the Provincial City’s Martial Arts Circle!"

Ding Ling was at a loss for words, "If that Hao of yours wants to become an Inner Strength master, let him figure it out himself. Don’t use the family’s resources for outsiders."

Ding Yao retorted, "Isn’t this guy an outsider too?"

"He cured my dad’s illness. What has your Hao ever done for the Ding family?" Ding Ling said angrily.

Ding Yao pouted, "Pfft."

At that moment, a boy with a well-built figure and wearing a denim jacket, with frosted hair, came over.

Ding Yao quickly ran over to him, complaining with a look of grievance: "Hao, the ginseng I promised to give you was snatched away by this detestable fellow."

Hao frowned and looked at Chen Fan, "Dude, this ginseng is very important to me, please return it to me."

Chen Fan laughed, thinking to himself that this Hao really didn’t consider himself an outsider.

He flatly refused, "Sorry, this ginseng is very important to me as well. Moreover, it is the property of the Ding family. Ding Ling has given it to me, and you have no right to take it."

Ding Ling crossed her arms and stared at Hao, "Hao, you’re getting bolder, now you’ve even started to coax Ding Yao into taking things from my house!"

Hao quickly smiled at Ding Ling, "Sister Ling, what are you talking about? I’m just about to become an Inner Strength master. This ginseng was bought by me and Ding Yao."

Then he looked at Chen Fan, "Name your price. I’ll buy the ginseng."

"I’m just one step away from becoming an Inner Strength master. Do you know what it means to be an Inner Strength master?"

Saying that, Hao performed a set of boxing moves in front of Chen Fan. The punches were fierce and powerful; the final punch landed on a nearby pillar, creating a one-centimeter-deep hole.

"If I become an Inner Strength master, with one punch, I can break through this pillar. Dude, do me a favor. Making an enemy out of a future Inner Strength master is not a good thing," Hao said provocatively to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan could tell this guy was showing off his strength. He remained calm, not in the mood to fuss with a kid, "Sorry, I’ve got something to attend to, going back to my room now."

After that, he left with the ginseng.

Ding Ling glanced at Ding Yao and Hao, "Chen Fan is a great benefactor of our Ding family. You two had best stay away from him."

Saying this, she also left.

Ding Yao was full of anger, "How could this guy be so ungrateful? Doesn’t he feel any fear at your prowess?"

Hao snorted coldly, "He’s probably faking it. After all, your sister was here just now. If it were me, I wouldn’t show weakness in front of a beautiful woman, even if I felt timid."

Ding Yao said, "But what about the ginseng? Without it, you won’t be able to become an Inner Strength master."

Hao grinned, "No worries. After tomorrow’s duel to the death is over, we’ll call him out alone. With my strength, I’ll be able to beat him down in no time. Then we’ll see if he’s still so tough."

Upon hearing about the life-death duel, Ding Yao’s eyes lit up, "The eldest disciple from the Extreme Path Martial Hall is personally issuing a Life-Death Challenge Letter. I’m so curious about who his opponent is."

Hao too was looking forward to it, "Anyone who can be an opponent to a Grandmaster Realm expert is certainly no ordinary person."

"I can’t wait to find out who this opponent is either. If Extreme Path Martial Hall doesn’t want me, maybe this esteemed expert will take an interest in me. I hope, in tomorrow’s battle, this mysterious expert wins, so I might have the chance to become his disciple."

Ding Yao wrapped her arm around Hao’s, "Hao is the best! If you could take such a person as your master, I’d gain face too."
