13: The city lord visits

Inside the bridal chamber, candlelight flickered, making the entire room even more warm and romantic.

At this moment, Chen Xuan and Lin Shuiyao sat facing each other, both a little nervous, especially Lin Shuiyao, whose small face was flushed, like a ripe apple.

This was not due to shyness, as Chen Xuan had already developed everything that could be developed, and she no longer felt shy about this.

It was mainly because her good son had come to disrupt her and Chen Xuan's wedding, which made her feel extremely guilty.

“Shuiyao, what’s wrong? Are you very nervous?” Chen Xuan looked at Lin Shuiyao, smiling and asking softly.

“Yes, a little.” Lin Shuiyao nodded gently.

“What happened just now, it was all me…” Lin Shuiyao hadn't finished speaking when Chen Xuan stopped her.

“This isn't your fault, I also didn't expect Qin Feng to become like this! After some time, when he calms down, I'll talk to him!”

“En, Husband, I trust you. I will also teach Qin Feng more in the future, so he will obediently recognize you as his father!” Lin Shuiyao looked up at Chen Xuan, her eyes full of trust and love.

“That would be for the best.” Chen Xuan smiled.

“Husband, it's getting late, we should drink the wedding wine.” Lin Shuiyao suddenly said.

“Good, then we will drink the wedding wine!” Chen Xuan heard this and quickly agreed.

With that, he picked up two cups of wine, linked arms with Lin Shuiyao, and they both drank the wine in their cups in one gulp.

“The ceremony is complete!”

After drinking the wedding wine, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Then, Chen Xuan picked up Lin Shuiyao, placed her on the bed, gently stroked her hair, and said with a smile, “Shuiyao, you are truly beautiful tonight, I never thought I would be so lucky to marry you!”

“Husband…” Lin Shuiyao's cheeks flushed even redder upon hearing this.

And at this moment, after they finished drinking the wedding wine, their eyes became even more fervent, as if a flame was burning.

...

Early the next morning, while Chen Xuan was still sleeping in, a noisy sound came from outside.

“Little Friend Chen, Little Friend Chen, someone has come to visit you!”

Chen Xuan and Lin Shuiyao were both startled by the sound.

“Could it be that Qin Feng has returned again?” Lin Shuiyao looked at Chen Xuan somewhat nervously and asked.

Chen Xuan gently stroked Lin Shuiyao's beautiful hair and comforted her, “It’s alright, I’ll go out and see first!”

With that, Chen Xuan got up and walked towards the door.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw a figure standing rigidly outside his door, like a door god.

The person who came was none other than Qin Minghao!

Since the wedding last night, Chen Xuan and the others had directly moved to the Qin Family Main Branch, as the scenery here was more beautiful and it was convenient for the Qin Family members to come here for guidance.

The people of the Qin Family Main Branch, after witnessing Chen Xuan's strength, were even more eager!

At this moment, Qin Minghao was also very nervous, after all, it was too impolite for him to disturb Chen Xuan at this time! However, the person who came was someone he couldn't afford to offend, so he had no choice but to knock on the door.

As soon as he saw Chen Xuan come out, his old face immediately tried to smile like a chrysanthemum, and he quickly stepped forward to greet him.

“What's wrong, Clan Chief Qin, coming so early in the morning?” A hint of displeasure flashed across Chen Xuan's face.

However, Qin Minghao at this moment appeared even more respectful.

This person was a Golden Core Great Master, how could he afford to offend him? And he was now more than once grateful that he had befriended Chen Xuan, otherwise, if he had gone to the Liu Family, wouldn't all the benefits have been taken by the Liu Family?!

Moreover, he also knew that Chen Xuan was an Alchemist!

With such an Alchemist overseeing the Qin Family, even if he only gave the Qin Family a little bit of scraps, the Qin Family would surely prosper in the future!

“No, no, it’s just that an esteemed guest has arrived, so I quickly came to report to you!”

“Just tell me directly who it is, no need to be so long-winded!”

“Yes, it’s City Lord Zhao who has arrived!”

“City Lord?” Chen Xuan frowned slightly, “What is he here for?”

“I heard he’s here to seek medicine. His wife is seriously ill and is on the verge of death, so he’s been seeking doctors and medicine everywhere. Now that he’s heard that such a third-grade Alchemist like you has come to our Qin Family, he naturally rushed over impatiently!” Qin Minghao said with a smile.

“Seeking medicine?” Chen Xuan was slightly puzzled for a moment, then he understood.

In the original work, the City Lord General Zhao's wife's serious illness should have been a plot point that would only appear after the Four Great Families' Grand Competition, when Qin Feng returned and showed off, taking first place. Why was it brought forward now?

Could it be that the woman Zhou Wan'er brought it forward?

Qin Minghao saw Chen Xuan not speaking, and his heart immediately tightened.

“Little Friend Chen, I wonder if you can lend a hand? If you can save the City Lord's wife, he will surely be extremely grateful, and then our Qin Family will also… cough cough!”

Qin Minghao coughed a few times, almost blurting out what was on his mind.

Chen Xuan smiled slightly, still not responding.

And at this moment, a rough laugh suddenly came from not far away.

“Hahahaha, Clan Chief Qin, where is the Alchemist you mentioned? Quickly let him out, I have an important matter to ask of him!”

Chen Xuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall middle-aged man walking towards them.

This person was none other than General Zhao, the City Lord of Flame Feather City.

General Zhao had a very rough appearance, wearing a black robe, with a golden glowing jade pendant hanging from his waist, looking like a wealthy person at first glance.

Behind him, there was also a group of guards, each with impressive cultivation.

Qin Minghao quickly went up to him and said enthusiastically, “Oh, City Lord Zhao, why did you come in by yourself? Yesterday was Little Friend Chen’s happy day, and he just woke up now!”

General Zhao smiled and waved his hand, saying, “No, no, I just couldn’t wait to see that Alchemist, so I was a bit presumptuous!”

After speaking, he quickly walked towards Chen Xuan.

“This must be Great Master Chen Xuan of the Xuan Yang Sect, right? Truly a dignified figure, a young hero! I’ve long heard of your great name, long heard of your great name!”

General Zhao, with a face full of smiles, clasped his fists towards Chen Xuan.

“City Lord Zhao, probing other people’s cultivation is very impolite!”

General Zhao looked at Chen Xuan, and his heart tightened. Then he smiled awkwardly: “Great Master Chen, I am truly sorry, I was just curious for a moment, and had no ill intentions.”

“I already know the reason for City Lord Zhao’s visit, but my treatment comes with conditions!”

“Conditions?” General Zhao was startled, “Please tell me!”

Chen Xuan smiled slightly and extended two fingers: “First, the price of my treatment requires a lot of compensation!”

“You can rest assured about that, as long as Great Master Chen takes action, my City Lord's Mansion will definitely offer considerable compensation!” General Zhao nodded.

“Second, I have a rule for treatment, which is that during each treatment, no one is allowed to disturb!”

“This…” General Zhao frowned.

“If not, City Lord Zhao, please go back. I cannot help you.”

“Okay, I understand!” General Zhao nodded, “Then I will go arrange it now and wait for Little Friend to arrive at the City Lord's Mansion!” After saying that, he left with his guards and Qin Minghao and others.

“Heh heh, the acting was quite detailed, but still a bit too eager, agreeing too quickly.” Looking at the departing crowd, Chen Xuan commented softly.
