"Isn't it for my cousin-in-law? Chen Jinpeng used to be my cousin-in-law's follower. Later, he acted tough in front of my cousin-in-law and even bought the car that I wanted. So, I set him up," Jin Beibei said matter-of-factly.
"Oh?" Golden Fur Lion King heard that it was for Xiao Chen. He squinted his eyes again. No one knew what he was thinking.
Xiao Chen, on the other hand, was very touched. It turned out that Jin Beibei had made thirteen moves and even called Old Man Jin over to help him vent his anger!
The car stopped in front of a famous barbecue restaurant in the city. The four of them got off the car, ordered some barbecue and entered the private room.
Because it was a barbecue buffet, the barbecued food was readily available. Soon, it was served, and Jin Beibei immediately ate happily. However, Old Master Jin rarely ate. He only ate simple vegetables.
"Grandpa Jin, why aren't you eating?" Lin Yi looked at Old Jin in surprise. In his opinion, it was impossible that Old Jin was reluctant to eat. With his status, it would be strange if he couldn't afford such a small amount of barbecue.
"I've been taking medicine and avoiding beef and mutton. I even try to eat less meat like meat," Golden Fur Lion King explained with a smile.
"He suffered a serious internal injury on his lumbar spine when he was young, which damaged his bones and meridians. He has to use medicine to maintain his condition and overcome the pain." Elder Heaven Ancestor's voice suddenly appeared in Xiao Chen's ears.
"Oh? Is that so? " Xiao Chen was surprised. Then, he remembered that there were indeed some warriors whose bones and meridians were damaged after they were injured. Not only did they suffer from sequelae, but their strength also stagnated. "Can't it be cured?"
"It's usually hard for warriors to cure themselves, but for a cultivator, it's nothing even if five words come from the sky!" Elder Heaven Ancestor said.
"Pfft … You're still joking at a time like this? Does it mean that I can help him?" Xiao Chen never thought that he would be so strong.
"Of course." The Elder Heaven Ancestor said arrogantly, "You must remember that you are a brilliant cultivator, the successor of I, the Elder Heaven Ancestor!"
"What should we do then?" Xiao Chen couldn't help but ask.
"It's actually very simple," the Elder Heaven Ancestor said. "Just the dregs of the medicinal soup that you took in the beginning. Boil it for him, and he'll be fine."
"So simple? The dregs … are they still effective? "Xiao Chen didn't expect it to be like this. He was a little skeptical.
"That's a medicine that cultivators use to wash their marrows and reshape their bones. Even if it's just the dregs of the medicine, it'll be infinitely beneficial to martial artists. It can reshape their bones and meridians and force out the toxins in their bodies." The Elder Heaven Ancestor had a look of exasperation on his face as he said, "Can't you imagine yourself to be so awesome that even the water you wash your feet with is good?"
"…" Xiao Chen found it hard to accept the idea for the time being. He had always felt that he was on the losing end. It never occurred to him that he was already on the winning end without him knowing it. "Then … should I help you, or not?"
"It's up to you," the Elder Heaven Ancestor said unconcernedly. "After all, you bought the medicine with your own money. There's no need to ask me."
The question made Xiao Chen more or less hesitant. He had thought that the Elder Heaven Ancestor would give him a suggestion, but the Elder Heaven Ancestor simply ignored it.
By logic, Old Master Jin was Jin Beibei's grandfather, and he had shown enough kindness to him. It was only reasonable that Xiao Chen offered him a hand. After all, he had been getting along well with Jin Beibei over the past few days.
His' sister-in-law 'also defended him and even stood up for him to teach Chen Jinpeng a lesson. No wonder Xiao Chen felt that Jin Beibei was making a mountain out of a molehill by calling Old Master Jin over for a car.
Now that the guy had supported him so much, it would not make sense if he did not return the favor. It would have been fine if he did not have the capability, but if he did not help when he had the capability, even Xiao Chen felt that he would not be able to forgive himself!
It was easy to add flowers to a brocade, but difficult to provide coal in a snowy day.
After Xiao Chen fell from grace, Xiao Chen had always remembered those who had been kind to him. Cheng Mengying, Kerr Lin, Shen Jingxuan, Tang Tang, Zheng Xiaokun, and Jin Beibei. As long as there was a chance, Xiao Chen would repay them.
Right now, Jin Beibei and the Eldest Lady were the only two people in the private room. In fact, Xiao Chen had already exposed some of his capabilities in front of them several times. Therefore, there was nothing for him to hide anymore. Xiao Chen, on the other hand, had come up with an excuse. He looked at Old Master Jin and asked, "Grandpa Jin, was your lumbar spine injured in the past, which damaged the bones and nerves nearby, and you have to maintain them with drugs?"
"Oh?" The Gold Fur Lion King's eyes suddenly shone. He looked at Xiao Chen in disbelief and asked, "Boy, who told you that?"
It happened when the Gold Fur Lion King was still in the sect. Theoretically speaking, nobody in the secular world knew about it at all. Even his family members and Jin Beibei, who he loved the most, did not know about it. When he took the medicine, he only claimed that it was for martial arts training. He had never mentioned that he was injured!
It must be noted that the part where he was injured was like the weak point of his martial arts. If the enemy learned about it and attacked it, he would probably be defeated.
Therefore, when the secret was told by Xiao Chen, the first thought that flashed through the Gold Fur Lion King's mind was to kill him to keep his mouth shut, because it was too important for him and the Jin family.
Xiao Chen was startled by the Gold Fur Lion King's reaction, too. Jin Beibei knew the Gold Fur Lion King better than anyone else. Others might not have noticed the killing intent at that moment, but Jin Beibei did. She said subconsciously, "Ah, Grandpa, it was me who told my cousin-in-law!"
The Gold Fur Lion King was slightly dazed. He turned around and looked at Jin Beibei. The killing intent and solemnity on his body disappeared in a moment, and he became the amiable old kid again. "Beibei, how did you know?"
Jin Beibei rolled her eyes and said immediately, "I … Well … I heard Grandpa talking in his sleep!"
"…" The Golden-Haired Lion King was a little speechless. The way he looked at Jin Beibei was even weirder. After a long time, he sighed and said, "I never talk in my sleep … When high-level warriors rest, they are also in a half-awake state. In this way, they will be able to react immediately when they are ambushed …"
"Well … I mean, I dreamed about it …" Jin Beibei added.
How sensitive was Xiao Chen's mind and soul? Just now, Jin Beibei had sensed the killing intent of the Gold Fur Lion King, and so had Xiao Chen. Seeing that Jin Beibei was protecting him as usual, Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Master Jin, as I said just now, my mind and soul are very powerful. I sensed your wounds."
"What?!" The Gold Fur Lion King looked at Xiao Chen in disbelief. "You sensed it?"
"Yes." Xiao Chen nodded and told the excuse that he had prepared. "I'm a good-for-nothing in martial arts. Master Jin, you also know that. Therefore, over the years, I've been studying the medical arts nonstop, hoping to solve the problem of my body. Over the years, I've studied a lot of medical classics and have made some achievements in the medical arts. Not only can I prepare medicine with my mind and soul, I can also treat the wounds of other fighters with my mind and soul …"
Xiao Chen's words made Cheng Mengying's eyes bulge. She did not know that Xiao Chen had such talents. Over the years, he had not been a playboy? Instead, he had been studying medicine all along? But thinking about it, the strong smell of medicine in the villa these days was really possible.
In that case, wasn't the Xiao Chen he had seen before Xiao Chen?
Jin Beibei raised her hand and said, "I can testify to that. My cousin-in-law is brewing medicine in my cousin's villa every day!"
The Golden Fur Lion King had just thought of countless possibilities, but the possibility of Xiao Chen knowing about his injuries in advance was almost zero. It was impossible for the people from his sect to tell Xiao Chen that a playboy who was chased out of the Xiao family was also meaningless.
Could it be that Xiao Chen was really capable in this aspect? Thinking of this, Golden Fur Lion King could not help but ask, "Then is there any hope for my old injury to be cured?"
"Yes!" However, Xiao Chen nodded. "I just happened to concoct a potion. Old Master Jin, after you decoct it and take it, your injuries will be healed."
"Really?" This time, it was the Golden Fur Lion King who did not believe it. If Xiao Chen said there was no hope, although he would be disappointed, he would also feel that it was reasonable. However, if Xiao Chen said it could be cured, he really did not know what to do.
Even the people in his sect could do nothing about his injuries. He had no choice but to go down the mountain. How could there be hope for Xiao Chen?
"If I lie to you, Cheng Mengying will kick me out of the house and not let me be a manservant, what good will that do to me?" Xiao Chen could not help but say with a wry smile. Indeed, what he had done was a little too shocking.
However, Xiao Chen was such a person. If others were sincere to him, he would treat them with sincerity. He was also a decisive person. Since he had made up his mind, he would not hesitate anymore.
Golden Fur Lion King suddenly said, "If you are kicked out of the house, you can come to our Jin family."
"Ah?!" Xiao Chen was a little stunned. Go to the Jin family?
"Beibei, I think you like your cousin-in-law very much. Now that the Cheng family has broken off the engagement, why don't we let him come to the Jin family and become a son-in-law? "Golden Fur Lion King's words shocked everyone to death. The words he said shocked the three people present.
However, Jin Beibei was quite excited. "Okay … No, cousin Mengying has to let him go first. I can't steal cousin Mengying's man."
"If you like him, you can have him." Cheng Mengying snorted. However, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart … Reluctant to let him go? How could that be possible! It must be because Xiao Chen had changed his mind again! This bastard, why does he like the people around me? Can't you like me for a while? Will you die?
"Look, Mengying has agreed. What about my suggestion?" The Golden Fur Lion King looked at Xiao Chen with a smile and said, "Since you don't have a clan now, come to our Jin Clan. That way, you will have a backer. Old Man Cheng won't dare to do anything to you!"
The Golden Fur Lion King looked like an old urchin. It seemed that he spoke without thinking. In fact, that was not the case! He had been observing Xiao Chen along the way!
