Chen Zhao tested his strength. This was about his limit, and he couldn't lift it with one hand.
Ah —
Chen Zhao pulled hard and the barbell was lifted.
Gaia's eyeballs almost popped out.
Right now, Chen Zhao was really a monster in human form in her eyes.
Chen Zhao could only lift the four-ton barbell to his chest. He couldn't lift it over his head like a normal weightlifter.
Thud —
Chen Zhao dropped the barbell. His left arm was clearly weaker than his right arm.
Of course, under normal circumstances, Chen Zhao was already strong enough.
"I'm starting to wonder if you're even human."
"You're definitely not a normal person."
"Is it possible for me to reach that level?"
Chen Zhao thought for a moment. "My situation is special, but I can still surpass your current limit."
"How much?"
"How about training Tiger well?"
"I'm only in charge of his technique. You're definitely more professional than me in terms of stamina and strength."
"Then after a period of time, when his rehabilitation is completed, you and he will receive my physical training together."
Gaia nodded. Chen Zhao could agree to her request because of their friendship.
She wouldn't push her luck. After sitting in Chen Zhao's house for more than an hour and looking around, Gaia stood up and left.
Chen Zhao didn't plan on moving the fitness equipment Gaia had left behind into his house.
If it smashed onto the ground, it would cause great damage to the structure of the house.
So, Chen Zhao planned on leaving it outside. After training for half an hour, Chen Zhao started to pack up. He washed up and changed into casual clothes, planning to leave.
Chen Zhao always paid attention to his appearance. Every time he went out, whether it was for work or visiting friends, he would tidy himself up.
Today, he had to go to Sean's house first. Yesterday, Sean had called and said that his father's condition might have changed.
So, Chen Zhao had to go and take a look. When he arrived at Sean's manor, the atmosphere was still heavy.
After all, it was illegal. But Chen Zhao was a regular here, so he was brought into the manor after a quick inspection.
"Mr. Chen." Sean walked up to Chen Zhao and shook his hand.
In the past few months, Chen Zhao had fully proven his abilities.
His father had been judged to only have three months to live, but Chen Zhao had already extended this number.
Therefore, he received Sean's approval and trust. He would inform Chen Zhao immediately about his father's situation.
"Mr. Sean, how is your father?"
"I don't know the specifics, but the servant responsible for taking care of my father said that my father's cheeks kept twitching."
"When did it start?"
"It started yesterday."
Sean led Chen Zhao to Old Sean's bedroom. As usual, Old Sean sat in a wheelchair with two servants beside him.
Sean waved his hand and asked the two servants to leave.
Chen Zhao went up to check Old Sean's pulse, heartbeat, and tongue. Then he asked, "What has Old Sean eaten these days?"
"Are you saying my father was poisoned?"
"No, this is a normal inquiry."
"There will be a bottle of nutrient solution every day, followed by minced meat and wheat porridge. It's the same every day."
"Is there anything else?"
"I don't think so."
"Check your father's servants or the kitchen."
"As expected, he was still poisoned?"
"It's just a tiny amount of poison." Chen Zhao was convinced.
Red flower amaryllis also had a famous name, Red Spider Lily.
Of course, the Red Spider Lily in reality did not have the magical effect of summoning the Red Spider Lily.
Moreover, it could be used as medicine and had a certain amount of poison.
It was widely distributed and mainly produced in Southeast Asia. It wasn't a rare plant.
The Red Spider Lily wasn't very poisonous. Of course, if one took too much or had a body like Old Sean's, his life could still be in danger.
The person who had poisoned him was very careful. Old Sean only showed slight symptoms.
After giving Old Sean some antidotes to neutralize the poison, Chen Zhao said a few things to him.
"Mr. Sean, this is your family's business. I don't want to get involved, but I hope you can investigate it thoroughly before you deal with it. You can't kill everyone involved."
Sean looked at Chen Zhao in surprise. After a moment of silence, he nodded. "Okay."
…
Chen Zhao arrived at Ethan's hotel. After greeting Ethan, he went straight to Li Qing's room.
"Auntie Li, I'm here to take a look."
"Mr. Chen, I'm much better. You don't have to visit me every day."
"It's fine. I'm free anyway."
Li Qing looked at Chen Zhao. After observing for a while, she said, "Mr. Chen, you look great today. Your brows are light. The gloominess from a few days ago has disappeared. Did you solve some big problem?"
Chen Zhao smiled. Li Qing's eyes were as sharp as always.
"That thing was solved."
"Mr. Chen solved it alone?"
"No, a few friends."
"Mr. Chen, you're indeed powerful … Oh, did you read the books of Qingyi Sect?"
"I read some."
"Is there anything you don't understand?"
Chen Zhao mentioned the things he didn't understand and Li Qing answered them one by one.
Qingyi Sect wasn't a large sect in the Central Plains. It had been around for a long time and had gone through many ups and downs.
Qingyi Sect's spells were small but precise. They didn't have any grand or powerful spells. Most of them were used in one-on-one battles. There were also some supportive spells.
This was also related to the founder of Qingyi Sect, Xiangliu Qingyi. This Xiangliu wasn't the legendary Xiangliu but someone from the end of the Tang Dynasty.
In the beginning, Xiangliu was the successor of the Ma-yi Sect. He was extremely talented and received the teachings of the Ma-yi Sect.
Later, he left the mountain and traveled the world. He was famous for his medical skills and saved the world.
Due to the frequent wars, the people in the Central Plains had no way to live. Later, he founded his own sect and took Qingyi as his name.
Xiangliu was the name given to him by the Ma-yi Sect's master. To show his respect for the Ma-yi Sect, he kept the name Xiangliu.
Later generations called the founder of Qingyi Sect Xiangliu Qingyi.
Xiangliu Qingyi was known for his medical skills, so many of Qingyi Sect's spells were related to medicine.
Moreover, they included the spells of the Ma-yi Sect, so they had a set of techniques for subduing demons and devils.
The Ma-yi Sect was actually a branch of the Maoshan Sect, the holy land of Taoism in the Central Plains. Although Xiangliu Qingyi founded his own sect, he never announced that he was leaving the Ma-yi Sect. Thus, Qingyi Sect, Ma-yi Sect, and even Maoshan Sect had always been inseparable.
From Li Qing's words, Chen Zhao could even tell that she guessed that Xiangliu Qingyi had founded Qingyi Sect under the instruction of either the Ma-yi Sect or the Maoshan Sect.
As for the reason, it didn't have anything to do with the current situation, so it was just a casual conversation after a meal.
