Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

Chapter 254 It's Safer Under the Emperor's Feet

tomorrow?!

There have been rumors that the Extraordinary People Conference is about to begin, but it has not been officially held yet.

Therefore, in Chu Nan's mind, he always felt that the Extraordinary People Conference would not be held for a long time.

I never expected it to start tomorrow. At this time, I have no chance of leaving the capital.

Fang Yuan seemed to see Chu Nan's worries. "Chu Tianjiao, it's actually safer for you to stay in the capital than to leave."

Chu Nan raised an eyebrow.

"This is under the emperor's nose, no one will dare to act recklessly here, not even celestial beings would dare to think twice."

Fang Yuan spoke these words in a very calm tone.

As the commander of the Imperial Guards, he held the reins of the entire intelligence network in the capital, so his words naturally carried weight.

Chu Nan didn't say anything, but he was thinking to himself.

Wangjing was also under the emperor's nose, yet Jin Wuyuan still managed to take him away so easily.

Fang Yuan probably thought of this example as well, and added, "Jin Wuyuan is an exception. He is obsessed with martial arts and doesn't care about anything else. Other celestial beings are different; they still have things they care about. If they have things they care about, they will have some concerns."

Chu Nan thought about it and felt that there was some truth to it.

Jin Wuyuan, a man who has spent hundreds of years of his life practicing martial arts, considers family, royalty, and rules as utter nonsense.

That's why he dared to take people away right under Fang Yuan's nose.

But which of those immortal beings isn't eccentric and unconventional?

If Jin Wuyuan doesn't care, then the other celestial beings probably won't care either.

Fang Yuan didn't know what Chu Nan was thinking, but he further reassured him, "Besides, with the Qian family patriarch here, I think you don't need to worry at all."

Chu Nan turned to look at Qian Yunlong. "The Qian family also has a Celestial Ancestor?"

Qian Yunlong blushed and mumbled, "As a major clan, we should have some trump cards or something..."

He only said half of it before brushing it off.

Chu Nan didn't press further; there was a reason why Qian Yunlong wouldn't talk about such things.

Fang Yuan continued, "With the strength of the Qian family patriarch, unless several veteran Celestials join forces, it would be impossible for him to harm you in the slightest."

"In the capital, multiple Celestials are moving towards the Qian family at the same time. They certainly can't escape the Imperial Guard's intelligence network, so Mr. Chu, you don't need to worry at all."

"Yes, I don't need to worry about it..."

Chu Nan sighed. According to this logic, he really didn't need to think too much about it anymore.

The only remaining worry is how tomorrow's Extraordinary People Conference will go.

But since my life is no longer in danger, the rest doesn't matter. Let nature take its course.

Chu Nan bowed to Fang Yuan and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Commander Fang."

Fang Yuan smiled, and his black figure quickly disappeared at the alley entrance.

Qian Yunlong finally let out a long breath, leaning against the door frame as if his bones had been removed.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to Chu Nan, saying, "Mr. Chu, a banquet has been prepared at the villa tonight as a welcome party for you and to celebrate your participation in the Extraordinary People Conference tomorrow. You must do us the honor of attending."

Chu Nan initially wanted to decline, but then he thought about it again. He had spent most of the day causing trouble at the Ming family's house, and then he was blocked at the door by the imperial decree when he returned. He really hadn't had a proper meal.

"Alright, then I'll leave it to Patriarch Qian."

The banquet was held in the main hall of the Qian Family Villa.

The dishes were plentiful; Qian Yunlong had many hearty dishes served, such as abalone, sea cucumber, and bird's nest, filling the entire table.

Chu Nan sat in the main seat, with Xia Wantang and Jiang Yingxue on either side, and Qian Xinya sitting to his left.

Qian Yunlong personally accompanied him, while Wenbo stood by and served him.

Halfway through the meal, Qian Yunlong kept putting food on Chu Nan's plate.

He was very particular about how he picked up food, using serving chopsticks, and his actions were attentive but not inappropriate.

Chu Nan felt something was off. As the head of the Qian family, even if he had saved the man's life, there was no need for him to be so attentive.

"Fuck the head of the family."

Xia Wantang put down her chopsticks and said with a smile, "You're putting so much food in my little darling's bowl, it's almost piled up like a mountain."

Qian Yunlong paused, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face. "Miss Xia is too kind. Mr. Chu is a benefactor of the Qian family. This is what I should do."

"Should I?"

Xia Wantang raised an eyebrow. "Patriarch Qian, is there something else hidden in your 'it should be'?"

Qian Yunlong quickly shifted his gaze, pretending that he didn't understand anything.

Xia Wantang glanced at Chu Nan, then at Qian Xinya, and smiled, "Patriarch Qian, I saw right through your little scheme. You want Miss Qian to be a cute little woman like us, don't you?"

Qian Yunlong's face turned bright red. He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

After all, he didn't agree to the marriage, but he had no way to disobey the ancestor's orders.

"Miss Xia, this..."

Xia Wantang waved her hand, "Alright, I understand your feelings. It would be upsetting for anyone to raise their daughter to be suddenly taken away by someone else."

"However, Xuexue and I have already discussed it, and neither of us minds having Miss Qian join us."

Qian Yunlong suddenly looked up, his face filled with disbelief.

Xia Wantang said, "Patriarch Qian, you may think that the two of us will be jealous of each other, and that we will argue about who came first and who is superior, and that your daughter will be bullied."

"Actually, you're overthinking it. In our opinion, it's completely unnecessary, and we ourselves don't want to play this game."

She stopped smiling and her tone became more serious. "I only have one request for Miss Qian: after you become Chu Nan's woman, you must absolutely not cause him any trouble. Our little darling hates trouble the most."

"In addition, we need to maintain harmonious relationships internally and address each other as sisters. If we can achieve these two points, we have no objections."

Qian Yunlong was stunned for a long time, then finally sighed deeply, raised his wine glass and toasted Xia Wantang, "Miss Xia, I was being petty."

Chu Nan sat to the side, not saying a word from beginning to end; he hadn't really paid much attention to the conversation.

Although he thought things would work themselves out, his mind was still preoccupied with the upcoming Extraordinary People Conference tomorrow.

His intuition told him that tomorrow's gathering of extraordinary people would be anything but simple.

Especially when he put all these recent events together, he felt like something was off.

After dinner, Xia Wantang took Jiang Yingxue and Qian Xinya to the backyard.

Ostensibly it was to "connect," but in reality it was probably to talk about what happened at the dinner party tonight.

Chu Nan didn't follow. He walked into the courtyard alone and sat down on a stone bench next to the artificial hill.

After sitting for a while, I got bored and decided to jump onto the roof.

The roof of the Qian family villa was made of old-fashioned tile roof. Chu Nan found a flat spot to sit down and looked up at the sky.

The night sky in Beijing is not as clean as that in Beihai Park; there are many lights but few stars.

He stared at the not-so-dense stars, his mind a jumble of thoughts.

One moment I'm thinking about the Extraordinary People Conference, the next I'm thinking about the Celestials, and then I'm thinking about my missing grandfather.

Just as he was pondering this, a figure appeared beside him without warning...
