Chapter Sixteen: Chen Linxi

  The next day, as soon as he had seen off the client, he walked into the assistant's office in the dispensary and asked Wei Xiangtu to go with him to buy a car. Unexpectedly, Wei Xiangtu seemed reluctant to go with him to look at cars, but instead looked at him with a very strange gaze.

  "Tell me to go and do what, I don't understand cars."

  Wei Xiangtou was obviously listening to music earlier, with his earphones already taken off and held in his hand, yet he could still clearly hear the rock music blasting at maximum volume. Li Huan was speechless, so he changed the subject: "Uh... do you like rock?"

  "I just like the songs of Night Wish." Wei Xiangtu coughed dryly, seemingly a bit dissatisfied with his observation. He exited the music box and smiled: "I'm exhausted these past few days, I think I'll take a nap first. If you're going to buy a car, you can ask Yearge or Yuemei to go with you."

  “……”

  Although it's really tiring, but obviously, Wei Xiangtu was so excited after getting that huge sum of money that he seemed to care about nothing. Last night, he even dragged Zhuang Zimeng out to buy a laptop, a bunch of books and clothes, as well as all sorts of miscellaneous things.

  Then, I just stayed at home all the time, didn't leave the house after work hours and didn't leave the office during working hours.

  A passionate person met a soft nail, Li Huan could only maintain an understanding smile and walked out of the dispensary.

  He didn't know why, but he felt that Wei Xiangtu was actually quite cold towards him.

  As he walked out of the clinic, a black Mercedes happened to be slowly driving over and stopped at the entrance. The window rolled down, revealing a young man about his age with a handsome face and a warm smile, but somehow it made Li Huan feel like there was a layer of shadow shrouding him.

  "Are you Dr. Li Huan here?" The young man asked politely.

  "Yes, what's up?"

  "Do you have something to attend to outside?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "What time slot can you accept for an appointment?"

  "Any morning or afternoon four days from now would be fine, except for Monday of this month which is already scheduled."

  "Alright, I'll come find you in four days. Here's my business card." The young man handed over a business card.

  Chen Linxi, the 32nd generation successor of Guiguzi? Li Huan was stunned by what he saw on the business card. The young man smiled knowingly and said, "Be surprised, we were one family over a thousand years ago."

  "If you have something urgent, you can come find me tonight. I won't be out for more than four hours." Li Huan said in a low voice.

  "Ha, Dr. Li is really a man worthy of admiration." The young man smiled.

  Before he could even wait for the young man's car to disappear from view, Li Huan hastily turned around and went back.

  This matter must be told to Wei Xiangtu and also Old Master Wang.

  Originally, buying a car or a house were big deals, and many people would set off firecrackers and hold banquets after making such purchases. But unexpectedly, one thing led to another, and Li Huan could only hastily tell Wei Xiangtu before rushing out to buy a car. When he returned home, Old Man Wang had also arrived, sitting in the main hall with a gloomy expression. Wei Xiangtu stood at the side, his face expressionless.

  Chen Linxi also arrived early and sat in the living room, leisurely drinking tea.

  Although he ran this trip for only three hours and was not late, unexpectedly Wang Linxi came an hour earlier.

  "I originally planned to go to Mr. Wang's house, but I didn't expect to run into him halfway, so we came together." For some reason, Li Huan always felt that Wang Linxi was extremely cold when facing Mr. Wang, and his expression seemed particularly chilly.

  "Ah, right, Little Li, I haven't introduced you yet." Old Man Wang spoke up, his words dripping with malice like ice shards, "This is my former disciple, also another inheritor of the Gui Gu Valley. If he hadn't become the son-in-law of the Chen family through a ghost marriage, he wouldn't have become one of the bloodline inheritors of the Gui Gu Valley either."

  Chen Linxi seemed to not care about what Wang Lao Ye said at all, and only smiled: "Wei Xiang, Li Doctor, you two please sit down as well. This time I came, it's not for anything in particular. Just want to discuss with you the collection of Gui Gu Yu Ban."

  "First of all, you have to guarantee that the Gui Gu Yu Ban was not stolen by someone you sent." Old Master Wang said with a stern face.

  Chen Linxi's expression remained unchanged as he said, "No. You know me, if others don't give it to me, I'll find another way, I won't do anything despicable."

  "Hmph, it's laughable that such words would come out of your mouth!"

  "Please excuse my blunt words, I think I have always been clear in conscience. If you hadn't intentionally suppressed the Chen family's business, I wouldn't have left the sect either. Moreover, I'm not sure if the Chen family's extermination case is really unrelated to you."

  Mr. Wang was so angry that he trembled, picked up the teacup and threw it at Chen Linxiu's face. Chen Linxiu reacted in time, quickly kicked the table next to him, and used the momentum to move himself and the chair half a meter away, dodging the attack.

  "I advise you to calm down. Alright, I believe that at the time, you just thought it was nothing serious, so you didn't stop those people from taking action. The Chen family massacre is also something you don't want to see happen. But still keep a bit of rationality. I think this time, the one who ordered the thieves to steal the jade plate might be the same person who massacred the Chen family back then. A sworn enemy of the Ghost Valley Sect."

  Wei Xiangtu and Li Huan, on the other hand, were secretly watching with a mindset of watching a play, although they didn't dare to show it on their faces. When Old Master Wang heard Chen Linxiu say this, he coldly said: "Hmph, sworn enemies? Haven't you already gotten rid of seven or eight of them over the years? I've heard that those who died violently, were killed, and so on, are all gone, leaving only one or two people to flee abroad, causing a big stir?"

  Chen Linxiu sneered and smiled slightly, saying: "The Chen family only has me left, but I can still kill them all."

  The atmosphere in the room suddenly became subtle. Li Huan had to open his mouth to relieve himself: "Uh, I don't know what Mr. Chen wants to discuss with us about Yu Ban specifically?"

  "It's simple, you and I are both descendants of the bloodline of Guiguzi Yu. If we're talking about the guardians of Guiguzi Yu, it can only be you and me. And I need the jade tablet, it has its use for me."

  "You little scamp must be up to no good. You think I'd hand over the jade tablet to you? Don't even think about it!" Old Master Wang said angrily.

  Chen Linxi gave a cold glance at the old man, "Then I'll destroy the jade slips I've collected, making them incomplete and unable to be reassembled. At that time, no matter who it is, they won't be able to suppress the evil energy of the Guigu Jade Slips!"

  Wang Lao Ye Zi was shocked and stood up: "You also got the jade tablet?"

  "Death. The jade plaque with 'death' engraved on it." Chen Linxiu said coldly.

  The old man Wang's face turned deathly pale and he slumped down, muttering: "Death...death..."

  Chen Linxiu sneered and turned around, walking out of the clinic without saying goodbye. She got into the car and drove away.

  "Mr. Wang..."

  Li Huan looked at Old Man Wang with some concern. Wei Xiangtu was also worried. Old Man Wang was absent-minded for a long time before he let out a deep sigh.

  "I'm leaving, you guys handle it."

  Wang Lao Ye Zi refused Wei Xiang Tu's support and tried to walk out by himself, but in the end, he turned back.

  "Let me tell you about Chen Linxi..."
