My Ares Son-in-Law

"Master... why should we give spirit stones to this worldly boy? Just kill him!" A trace of ferocity flashed across Qingsong's face, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and a cruel sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. His hands clenched into fists unconsciously, and his knuckles turned white due to the force, as if he was going to rush up and attack Xiao Chen in the next second.

"Shut up!" Old Xue instantly became furious, his eyes widened, veins bulged on his forehead, and he looked like an angry lion.

His voice was like a huge bell, echoing in the room, making people's ears buzz. "Although our Snow Lotus Sect is not as good as it used to be, we cannot be so indiscriminate and immoral. If I ask you to give me the spirit stones, just give them to me immediately. Why are you talking so much nonsense!"

His eyes were filled with majesty and anger as he glared at Qingsong fiercely, as if warning him that if he dared to talk nonsense again, he would be severely punished.

Although Qingsong was extremely unwilling, he could only compromise under the majesty of Xue Lao. He gritted his teeth, took out a spirit stone card from his pocket, and handed it to Xiao Chen stiffly, as if he was giving up his most beloved treasure.

While handing over the card, he glared at Xiao Chen fiercely. The resentment and unwillingness in his eyes seemed to say, "Sooner or later, I will settle this account with you!"

Xiao Chen looked calm and composed, his face was calm, he took the spirit stone card and put it in his pocket, as if it was just a trivial matter. His calmness was in sharp contrast to Qingsong's rage.

Old Xue cupped his hands, his face still showing embarrassment and loneliness, his voice revealing fatigue and helplessness: "Since the matter here has been settled, we will take our leave first." He really didn't have the face to stay any longer. After all, Xiao Chen cured his helpless patient with ordinary acupuncture methods, which made him feel ashamed. How could he have the face to mention the Snow Lotus Needle again?

After saying that, Master Xue turned around and left with his disciple Qingsong. His back looked a little hunched, and his steps were unusually heavy, as if he was tightly shrouded by a haze of failure.

Seeing this, Zhao Liangren did not dare to slack off. He knew that although Xue Lao was inferior to Xiao Chen in medical skills, he was a cultivator from the Penglai Holy Land after all, and had a certain status and connections in the cultivation world. He did not want to offend this distinguished guest because of a little negligence.

So he hurried forward with a respectful smile on his face, and said polite words as he walked: "Mr. Xue, please take care. I hope you will forgive me for the poor hospitality." He walked them to the door and watched their figures disappear in the distance before he breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

After returning, Zhao Liangren could not hide his inner excitement and shock. His face was full of complex expressions, showing awe of Xiao Chen's strength, as well as a hint of curiosity and exploration.

He couldn't help but step forward, his eyes flashing with a strange light, and said with emotion: "Mr. Xiao, today really opened my eyes! You are so young, but your martial arts realm has reached a level that ordinary people can hardly reach, and your medical skills are even more superb. I am really curious, how did you cultivate these two to such a pinnacle in such a limited time?"

After saying that, he shook his head slightly, his face full of disbelief.

Xiao Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a calm and confident smile. There was a hint of cynicism in that smile, but it made people feel extremely natural.

He shrugged and half-jokingly responded, "Maybe I am a natural born genius. You know, geniuses can't be judged by common sense." After that, a sly light flashed in his eyes. When Mr. Zhao heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he burst into laughter, his laughter echoing in the room. He nodded while laughing, his face full of agreement: "Indeed! There are always a few extraordinary people in this world, with extraordinary talents and outstanding talents, as dazzling as bright stars, which makes us mortals can only look up to them and sigh that we are not as good as them."

At this time, Zhao Chunhua walked forward slowly, with deep guilt and gratitude on her face. She lowered her head slightly, her hands unconsciously tugging at the corners of her clothes, and after hesitating for a moment, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Xiao Chen with a firm look in her eyes.

She bowed deeply, her body bent very low, and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Xiao, I was ignorant before and offended you. I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive me. You saved my brother's life, and I have no way to repay this kindness. From now on, as long as you have any instructions, I, Zhao Chunhua, will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Xiao Chen waved his hand, still with a warm smile on his face, and said in a relaxed tone: "They are all trivial matters, don't take them to heart. I know there are some minor conflicts between you and Jiang Yixiu, and I'm just an innocent victim. Let the past be the past." His eyes were gentle, making people feel his open-mindedness and tolerance.

After the treatment, Mr. Zhao walked quickly to Xiao Chen with a warm look on his face, clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "Mr. Xiao, you must stay for a meal no matter what. You have been very kind to our Zhao family, and we really don't know how to thank you. This meal is a small token of our appreciation, and we hope you will fulfill your wish."

His eyes were full of sincerity and expectation.

Xiao Chen politely declined:

"I appreciate Mr. Zhao's kindness, but I do have important matters to attend to, so I can't stay for long. You can think about dealing with the Ami Group. When you have made up your mind, please feel free to contact me so that I can make some preparations in advance. Besides, your son has just recovered, and it is time for the family to reunite and enjoy the family happiness. I will not disturb you."

His tone was neither humble nor arrogant, making it impossible to refuse.

Seeing Xiao Chen's firm attitude, Zhao Liangren could not force him any further and could only sigh helplessly. However, he knew Xiao Chen's value very well and did not dare to slack off. He immediately ordered his servants to carefully select a batch of precious spiritual stones and pack them in exquisite brocade boxes, and also carefully sorted and packed the rare medicinal materials that Zhao Chunhua had lost to Xiao Chen before.

He personally delivered these things to Xiao Chen, presented them with both hands, and had an extremely sincere attitude: "Mr. Xiao, these are just a small token of my appreciation, I hope you will accept them. If you need anything in the future, just let us know, and our Zhao family will do our best." There was a hint of flattery and awe in his eyes.

Xiao Chen took the gift and nodded slightly to express his gratitude. He knew that in this world where the strong prey on the weak, strength is everything. After seeing his strength, the Zhao family naturally understood the importance of making friends with him. He put away the gift, turned around and left, leaving the Zhao family looking at his back, savoring the memory for a long time.

……

The setting sun was like blood, and the cold wind was like a knife, cutting the faces of passers-by painfully. Xiao Chen stepped out of the door, wrapped in a murderous aura, and walked quickly towards Cheng Tianan's car, which had been waiting for him. He opened the car door, and the warm air instantly surrounded him, but his thoughts were not on this warmth at all. (End of this chapter)
