The patriarch of the Chen family, who had presided over the family for decades and weathered many storms, had never encountered anyone as troublesome as Chen Jiuyang.
A cultivator at the Profound realm daring to challenge the peak of the Earth realm. And just a few days after leaving Mount Shu, he had already provoked the Suhang Jiangnan Sect.
The Chen family patriarch had originally intended to deal with the Suhang Chen family and then return to Mount Shu to take charge. However, Chen Jiuyang's talent for stirring up trouble was too great. His Chen family had finally produced a peerless genius, and he couldn't let him run wild outside. He had to keep an eye on him.
There was no other choice; he would stay in Suhang until Chen Jiuyang left.
The Chen family patriarch said, "Jiuyang, the Jiangnan Sect is a sect established by a union of many small and medium-sized families in Suhang. It's best not to fall out with them. After your woman wakes up, return what she has to the Jiangnan Sect."
Chen Jiuyang nodded, "I understand this matter. I, Chen Jiuyang, am by no means someone who seeks trouble."
"..." The Chen family patriarch's face darkened. He took a deep breath and said, "You may go. I will go and manage the atmosphere of the Suhang Chen family."
Chen Jiuyang returned to the villa in the center of the artificial lake. In the medicinal bath, Ji Lengyue's eyes were tightly closed. If Ji Lengyue had not cultivated the technique Chen Jiuyang had taught her and possessed the Ice Muscle Jade Bone physique, she would not have been able to hold on until Chen Jiuyang arrived.
He seemed to have also taught her a dual cultivation technique earlier? Perhaps they could try it once she woke up and recovered.
Ji Lengyue was still a virgin. Once she cultivated with Chen Jiuyang, she would benefit greatly, and her cultivation could be significantly improved, while Chen Jiuyang would also gain considerable benefits.
Gazing at Ji Lengyue's alluring body, Chen Jiuyang felt a surge of heat. Suppressing his wandering thoughts, he left the treatment room, sat down cross-legged, and began to ponder how to break through to the Earth realm.
His breakthrough to the Earth realm would certainly not be as simple as for ordinary people. Those golden chains would surely reappear, preventing him from breaking through.
Therefore, he couldn't follow the conventional path as described in the Immortal Doctor's inheritance. This time, his breakthrough to the peak of the twelve great acupoints in the Profound realm was greatly aided by the Emperor Yu Divine Body Art.
Chen Jiuyang rubbed his temples. He needed more resources and medicinal herbs. His request for medicinal resources from the Mount Shu Chen family had already caused dissatisfaction among the Suhang Chen family, and he couldn't bring himself to fleece the Chen family again in a short period.
It seemed that the cultivation resources for breaking through to the Earth realm could only come from the True Demon Sect.
He had to thoroughly exploit the True Demon Sect!
At this moment, Yun Jingbai called. Her voice was soft and pleasant, "Dr. Chen, shall we go to the Suhang riverside for some barbecue and beer now?"
Chen Jiuyang's expression froze. He was surprised that Yun Jingbai, the daughter of the governor's mansion and a famous star, also enjoyed barbecue and beer. He then smiled and said, "Alright, send me the address, and I'll be right over."
After eating with Yun Jingbai, he would head back to the True Demon Sect to rest.
A snack street along the Suhang River. It was bustling with people, a mix of all sorts. Cyclists sat down to enjoy skewers, while wealthy young men in Ferraris and Lamborghinis brought their beautiful companions for a late-night snack.
And then there was Yun Jingbai, an international superstar.
Fang Bahua drove Chen Jiuyang to the location. As Chen Jiuyang walked into the snack street, a young woman wearing a baseball cap and sportswear waved at him.
With such attire, no one recognized her as the famous international superstar of the Dragon Country. She looked like a girl next door.
Chen Jiuyang smiled and walked over to sit down. "Jingbai, why are you in Suhang?"
Yun Jingbai opened a bottle of wine and poured a glass for Chen Jiuyang. She said, "My health has almost recovered, and it's time to prepare for my comeback. After discussing with Zixuan and my father, we decided to start with a concert in Suhang. The concert has just been approved, and we will start advertising and promoting it tomorrow. The concert will be in about half a month. Dr. Chen, please remember to come."
"Okay, no problem at all," Chen Jiuyang said with a smile. "Before, I couldn't even get a ticket to your concerts."
"Heh heh," Yun Jingbai giggled charmingly. "This time, you don't have to pay. I'll give you tickets. I'll give you five tickets for the front row!"
"This is the most I can do," Yun Jingbai stuck out her tongue.
"Hahaha!" Chen Jiuyang burst into laughter. Front-row tickets to Yun Jingbai's comeback concert would undoubtedly be incredibly hard to get. After all, Yun Jingbai was not just an ordinary big star.
She was the cultural ambassador for external promotion of the Dragon Country, and her status was extraordinary.
Speaking of which, Yun Jingbai asked, "Jiuyang, what are you doing in Suhang?"
Chen Jiuyang replied, "I have some matters to attend to here, and it will take about half a month to return to Fengcheng."
"Then do you have time..." Yun Jingbai asked tentatively, "My dad has an old friend who is not in good health, and I'd like to invite you to see him."
Yun Jingbai knew that Chen Jiuyang's medical skills were very impressive.
Chen Jiuyang nodded, "No problem, I'm free during the day."
Yun Jingbai said, "Then how about tomorrow morning?"
"Alright," Chen Jiuyang agreed.
Chen Jiuyang navigated the world not by his martial prowess or his identity as the young master of the Chen family, but by his medical skills.
Yun Jingbai breathed a sigh of relief, fearing Chen Jiuyang wouldn't agree. She knew Chen Jiuyang's status was extraordinary and that he was usually very busy. "When are you and Zixuan planning to get married?"
Chen Jiuyang smiled slyly, "At least not until I'm enfeoffed and become a Grandmaster of the Earth realm."
"Hmph!" Yun Jingbai understood Chen Jiuyang's intentions. "Men are indeed all the same. They eat from the bowl while looking at the colorful world."
Chen Jiuyang rubbed his nose and gave a wry smile.
At the same snack street, Kong Xirong brought Chen Zifeng to eat. They had spent the day at an amusement park. Kong Xirong was still live-streaming. "To avoid the situation last time, I specifically chose a slightly better snack street this time."
"This snack street is where the old Suhang residents come."
The audience in the live stream chimed in, "Rongrong, I think you're afraid of running into young master Chen again."
"Our Rongrong is not bad-looking, but when she meets someone like young master Chen, her charm is immediately overshadowed."
Kong Xirong's expression stiffened, and she quickly changed the subject. "There's a century-old shop on this snack street called 'One Noodle.' It's been around since the late Ming Dynasty and tastes excellent."
"Today, our late-night snack will be One Noodle."
As the two of them found a seat at the shop, a strong smell of alcohol and fishiness wafted over.
"Ah!"
Chen Zifeng let out a scream. A greasy, pig-like hand had grabbed her neck. Chen Zifeng instinctively picked up the glass on the table and smashed it down.
"Damn it, you dare to hit me? Are you tired of living?" The bald middle-aged man with the greasy hand felt a sharp pain, his drunkenness clearing. He raised his hand, and over a dozen bodyguards in suits surrounded the two women.
Seeing the bald middle-aged man, the people in the snack street turned pale, their eyes showing fear. No one dared to come forward to help.
