This copper pot was a low-grade spiritual artifact. Long Yixian usually used it to brew medicine for Lu Yuyan, and had been using it for over ten years. This was the first time anyone had said it had a problem!
Long Yuling brought the copper pot over and, in front of Lin Chen, opened its lid. A potent herbal aroma wafted out, refreshing the senses.
It was clear that the dregs in this copper pot were all made from top-grade spiritual herbs!
At this moment, Long Yuling had no mind to care about anything else and directly poured the dregs onto the ground.
Lin Chen continued to meticulously examine it using the Qi Observation Technique.
However, after checking several times, Lin Chen discovered that although these herbs were stained with traces of poisonous gas, the real problem did not lie with the herbs themselves!
"How is it, young friend Lin? Have you found any problems?"
Just as Lin Chen was filled with doubt, Long Yixian asked him with a hint of a cold smile.
"Uncle, these herbs are fine, but I am still certain that Auntie is poisoned, and it's definitely not a cultivation backlash."
"I can guarantee this with my life."
"But I've checked the food and herbs just now, and they are indeed fine."
"What is going on?"
Lin Chen frowned, muttering to himself.
He really couldn't understand why he could clearly see poisonous gas, yet he couldn't find the source!
"No, Uncle, this copper pot is indeed the problem!"
After repeated observation, Lin Chen spoke to Long Yixian again.
As Lin Chen spoke, Long Yixian had completely lost his patience.
This was a problem, that was a problem, but everything in the room was personally arranged by him, so how could there be a problem?
Back then, Lu Yuyan had become like this entirely because she wanted to save him!
Otherwise, how would she have ended up in this state?
As a man, how could he possibly poison a woman who devoted all her thoughts to him?
But Lin Fan? He kept saying there was a problem, wasn't this deliberately sowing discord?
"Alright, young friend Lin, you don't need to say any more. I, Long, know in my heart whether there's a problem or not."
"It's getting late, please leave, young friend Lin!"
At this point, Long Yixian had completely lost his patience. He had originally planned to matchmake Lin Chen and Long Yuling, but he hadn't expected Lin Chen to be such a lunatic!
Such a person, how could he be worthy of entrusting his precious daughter's lifelong happiness to?
"Alas, forget it. Uncle, this copper pot indeed has a problem. If we continue to use it to cook for Auntie, I estimate she can only hold on for another ten days."
"If you regret it within ten days, you can call me anytime."
Lin Chen then sighed deeply and turned to leave the spatial anomaly.
He had said what he should and shouldn't say. As for the outcome, it was beyond his control.
After leaving the Long family, Lin Chen returned to his hotel, intending to continue his closed-door cultivation.
However, as soon as he entered his room, his phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw it was his mother calling!
"Hello, Mom, how's your trip going?"
Seeing it was his mother's call, Lin Chen's tone softened considerably.
"Xiao Chen, it's Auntie Zhou. We're back in Zhejiang Province now. Tomorrow is your sister Zhou Qing's birthday. Our family would like to invite you to visit Zhejiang Province."
The voice on the other end was very happy as she spoke to Lin Chen.
Auntie Zhou was his mother's best friend, and one of her few close friends.
Zhou Qing was Auntie Zhou's daughter and someone he had grown up with. They had always been very close.
"Okay, Auntie Zhou, please give me the address. I'm in Zhejiang Province now, and I'll definitely be there tomorrow!"
Upon learning it was Zhou Qing's birthday, Lin Chen immediately agreed.
Auntie Zhou's family had taken great care of him and his mother before. Now that he was successful, it was time for him to repay their kindness, right?
"Good, good, good. We haven't decided on a place yet. How about you come to our house first, and then we can decide together? Let's see what you all want to eat."
"Anyway, it's just our family this time, so we can eat whatever we like, right?"
Auntie Zhou had a very cheerful personality and didn't treat Lin Chen as an outsider at all.
But it made sense. Back when Lin Chen and his mother were alone and helpless, his mother had to work in the factory during the day and often couldn't take care of Lin Chen, which often left him hungry.
Auntie Zhou, being kind-hearted, would always cook an extra portion and invite Lin Chen to eat with them.
As a result, the neighbors would often tease them, saying Lin Chen was like a live-in son-in-law of the Zhou family.
"Then how about this, Auntie Zhou? My friend recently opened a hotel in Jiangdu District, Zhejiang Province. How about we go and support them?"
Hearing that a place hadn't been decided yet, Lin Chen immediately spoke up.
A few days ago, Qiu Hanying had called him. Because of the successful auction, the Ru Shuang Group's status in Zhejiang Province had risen significantly.
So Qiu Hanying seized the opportunity to expand her business and opened a Ru Shuang Hotel in Zhejiang Province.
Although its scale was not comparable to the Long Family's Long Teng Hotel, in terms of location and environment, it could be considered top-tier in Zhejiang Province.
It was the most suitable place to celebrate Zhou Qing's birthday now.
"Okay, then send me the address. We'll meet directly at the hotel tomorrow!"
Hearing that it was opened by Lin Chen's friend, Auntie Zhou agreed without hesitation.
To Auntie Zhou, Lin Chen and the others were not outsiders. This time, it was just about celebrating Zhou Qing's birthday, and the most important thing was for the family to be reunited.
"Alright, I'll send it to you right away."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen also sent the address of Ru Shuang Hotel to his mother's phone.
After doing all this, Lin Chen also called Qiu Hanying.
"Oh my, busy person, why are you calling me?"
As soon as the phone was connected, Qiu Hanying's sour voice came from the other end.
"Cough, cough, cough, well, Ms. Qiu, it's like this. A very important relative of mine has a birthday tomorrow, and I plan to book a room at Ru Shuang Hotel. So I'd like to trouble you to arrange the best private room for me, how about that?"
Hearing Qiu Hanying's tone, Lin Chen felt a bit awkward.
He had been in seclusion in the Nine Dragon Ring before and hadn't paid attention to worldly affairs. After coming out, he had gone directly to the Long family to participate in the Zhejiang Provincial Martial Arts Competition, and he hadn't had time to inform Qiu Hanying.
But he hadn't expected that he would directly upset her now.
