In fact, the threat posed by the Luo family is nothing compared to that of the Wu family.

Because the head of the Luo family clearly wanted to protect Luo Yunxi, otherwise he wouldn't have restricted the Luo family's experts at the Emperor Realm from going out. His wife's ability to mobilize power was very limited.

At this point, Chen Huo became somewhat puzzled.

The dignified head of the Luo family can't even control his own woman?

But he was too lazy to inquire about such trivial matters.

It was already dinnertime.

On the way back to the hotel, Chen Huo's phone rang.

It was Su Wanqiu calling.

"What's up?"

"Mr. Chen, you helped my daughter and saved both my daughter and my life. Today, I have personally cooked a table of local Jinzhou dishes for you and Ms. Yu Ji at home. Please do me the honor of attending the banquet so that my daughter and I can formally express our gratitude to you."

Su Wanqiu spoke quickly and respectfully.

A family dinner is the highest level of hospitality for friends.

However, Chen Huo directly refused.

"No need, just rest and recover."

"Mr. Chen..."

"goodbye."

After saying that, Chen Huo hung up the phone.

After several encounters, he gained some understanding of Su Wanqiu.

He is intelligent and knows how to be grateful.

While personally cooking a home-cooked meal to thank you shows sincerity, the motive may not be pure. Nine times out of ten, the intention is to make your acquaintance. It's better not to eat such a meal.

On the other end of the phone.

Su Wanqiu hung up the phone, her face full of disappointment.

She couldn't remember the last time she had cooked. Even her parents had never enjoyed such treatment. Yet today she was cooking to quell the disaster, which showed great sincerity.

Such a big thing happened yesterday, and even though she has weathered many storms, her mood has not completely calmed down. She had not originally planned to host a banquet for Chen Huo today.

But he couldn't resist his daughter's persistent plea to see her savior.

That's why I made this call to Chen Huo.

She had hoped to use this opportunity to thank Chen Huo and strengthen her relationship with him, so that she would have a backer. As a woman, it can be quite difficult to be isolated and helpless.

"He actually refused; we're afraid we'll have a hard time seeing him again."

Su Xiaohe sighed, her face full of disappointment. The scenes of Chen Huo saving her twice kept flashing through her mind, as if he were a god descending to earth, leaving an indelible mark on her not-so-young heart.

"A person like him is beyond the reach of our social class. Just keep this kindness in your heart," Su Wanqiu said, shaking her head, feeling a little regretful.

However, Su Xiaohe refused to give up.

"One day, I will become as strong as him! Mom, didn't you find out that the power behind him is the Goddess Pavilion? I want to join the Goddess Pavilion! Only by possessing great power can we protect ourselves!"

Su Wanqiu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Seeing Su Xiaohe's stubborn expression, he pondered for a moment and then said in a deep voice:

"I'll think about it."

……

Nothing happened the next day.

Yu Ji drove Chen Huo to visit a scenic area in the suburbs of Jinzhou.

Chen Huo has little interest in these overly commercialized tourist attractions.

But Yu Ji was in high spirits.

It was a rare treat that no one bothered me, and I could spend the whole day alone with Chen Huo, having a great time.

It was already dark when we got back to the hotel.

They hadn't had dinner yet, and to avoid being disturbed, the two of them booked a private room and ordered several local specialties. Just as the waiter left, there was a knock on the door of the private room.

Chen Huo thought it was a waiter, so he let it in.

The person who appeared was a middle-aged man.

"Did you come to the wrong room?"

Chen Huo remained seated, his brows slightly furrowed.

Yu Ji stood up abruptly, her inner energy surging, and said coldly, "Zhang Xinglin, what are you doing here? Are you here to seek revenge for the Wu family?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Huo's heart stirred.

Zhang Xinglin was the son of Zhang Jingzhong, a famous doctor in China who had passed away. He inherited his father's medical skills and was far superior to those of Liu Pengju and his ilk. He rarely treated ordinary people, so he was not well-known.

However, he was a very famous figure in the martial arts family circle, especially skilled in treating internal injuries. Many ancient martial arts families had dealings with him, but later, for some unknown reason, he joined the Wu family.

A doctor who treats martial arts masters is naturally not an ordinary person.

Zhang Xinglin's martial arts cultivation is also astonishing. It is said that he was already at the second level of the Emperor Realm several years ago. As for his current level of cultivation, no one knows.

Chen Huo's first thought upon arriving here was that it was because of the Wu family's affairs.

The same goes for Jade Princess.

That's why she's so wary.

"You two don't need to be nervous."

Zhang Xinglin shrugged, indicating that he meant no harm, and smiled broadly:

"I've sided with the Wu family, but I'm not a member of the Wu family. I'm just their resident doctor. In the end, it's just a matter of mutual exploitation. I won't fight you to the death for them."

At this point, Zhang Xinglin looked at Chen Huo.

"Wasn't Wu Shuo taken away by Yuan Gang last time? The Wu family head got him out. That kid listened to you and used some means to investigate Li Chengye. The truth has come out. Wu Hao's death has nothing to do with you."

Chen Huo, however, did not believe it.

"Why haven't we received any news?"

"Chen Huo, I am considered your senior. I have no ill intentions in coming here today. Won't you invite me to sit down and talk?" Zhang Xinglin said with a smile, appearing very friendly.

In reality, he was cursing Chen Huo in the most vicious language in his heart.

They have absolutely no respect for their elders.

That's inhuman!

of course.

This wasn't what angered him the most.

What angered him most was that after he subdued Liu Guocheng that day and obtained Chen Huo's list of medicinal herbs, he studied it carefully until today, knowing that Chen Huo had tampered with it.

He wanted to figure out what kind of elixir Chen Huo was going to use the Crimson Blood Dragon Heart Lotus to refine. He thought that with his knowledge of medicine, he could figure out the formula with a little effort.

As a result, even today, they still haven't figured it out.

Chen Huo is too cunning.

The medicinal herbs on those lists are very deceptive; some have similar medicinal properties, some have incompatible properties, some can neutralize medicinal properties, and some seem completely useless.

There's really no other way.

He had no choice but to come to Chen Huo in person.

As for his manipulation of Liu Guocheng to set a trap for Chen Huo, no one knows yet, and he can't care about that now. He just wants to get Chen Huo's medical skills as soon as possible, and then kill Chen Huo to complete the mission.

The Wu family has found out that Wu Hao was not killed by Chen Huo.

However, Chen Huo repeatedly humiliated the Wu family, and the Goddess Pavilion overtook them, which made the Wu family feel very embarrassed. Because of his special status, he accepted the task.

But Chen Huo was not about to believe him so easily.

They didn't care whether what he said was true or false.

Just because he had sided with the Wu family, Chen Huo didn't want to sit at the same table with him.

"I'm having a meal and don't want to be disturbed."

"What are you still doing standing here? Please come in." Yu Ji remained wary and pointed to the door of the private room.
