Chapter 191: Two Reasons

“How is it?” Song Wanfeng asked, looking at a female cultivator.

The female cultivator looked young but her cultivation was in the late stage of the spirit transformation realm.

Hearing the question, she shook her head with a complicated look.

“I can’t heal them.” She said.

“Fifth elder, do you know what is going on? Don’t they need a special pill?”

This time, Song Wanfeng looked at an elderly male cultivator.

However, the male cultivator also shook his head before he spoke.

“I have checked their pulse and their injuries are nothing special. However, I tried many types of pills and none worked. I can’t think of anything else to do.”

Song Wanfeng frowned when he heard this.

After Xu Yuan refused his invitation to join the Myriad Treasures Pavillion, Song Wanfeng decided to take a long-term approach.

Because of this, he often went to the Xuyuan talismans and wines shop.

On one hand, he wanted to become familiar with Xu Yuan and his wife and on the other, he wanted to slowly convince them to become honorary elders of his Song family.

However, Xu Yuan was more stubborn than Song Wanfeng expected.

After failing in the soft approach, Song Wanfeng changed his strategy.

However, he didn’t want to fall out with Xu Yuan.

Considering that, he hired people to occasionally cause trouble for the Xuyuan talismans and wines shop.

In doing this, he hoped to find an opportunity to step in and ’save’ the Xuyuan wines and talismans shop.

Unfortunately, Xu Yuan never gave him a chance.

No matter the trouble, Xu Yuan could easily solve it and Song Wanfeng couldn’t help but feel a little impatient.

“Those who saw the attack said there was nothing special about it. Xu Yuan just used his qi to break the Ma brothers’ legs. How can the injuries not heal?” Song Wanfeng asked but his two companions couldn’t answer him.

After all, this was also their first time to encounter something like this.

“Third young master…” The male cultivator called, distracting Song Wanfeng from his thoughts.

“We can’t do anything but that doesn’t mean there is no solution. The best alchemists and spiritual healers are in the alchemy tower region. You can send the Ma brothers there.”

Even if they were crippled because of him, Song Wanfeng would normally never go so far for his thugs.

However, this was time was different.

No matter what, he wanted to discover what kind of method Xu Yuan used to cripple the three.

After all, his and the Xu couple’s relationship may not always be ’amiable’.

Thinking of this, Song Wanfeng narrowed his eyes and looked at the two cultivators.

“Two seniors, I will leave this matter to you.” He said and the two nodded.

After the two left, Song Wanfeng sat and leisurely sipped wine.

“It’s still delicious no matter how many times I drink it.” He muttered and a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

He had never seen Xu Yuan’s wife.

However, Song Wanfeng was full of expectation.

After all, he didn’t believe that an ugly person could make such delicious wine.

’Xu Yuan always wears a mask. It would be a pity if his wife also wears one.’ He thought, his lips curled in a mischievous smile.

…..

Zhen Yuan looked at a book with a thoughtful expression.

’The travel notes are detailed and contain more information than most of the history and geography books I have previously read. Maybe I will really find something if I read all the volumes.’ He thought and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.

After that, he put the book away and began drawing talismans.

Time passed and before Zhen Yuan knew it, it was five months later.

On this day, Zhen Yuan was meditating with his eyes closed when he suddenly sensed something outside the shop.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, just in time to see Song Wanfeng and his group walking into the shop.

“Boss Xu is still as leisurely as always.” Song Wanfeng said with a teasing smile.

“Young master Song is more leisurely.” Zhen Yuan said.

“Does the young master need more wine or talismans?”

“This time, I came for two reasons.”

“Please say.” Zhen Yuan said.

“The first purpose is to buy wines and talismans.”

After saying that, Song Wanfeng looked at Zhen Yuan with an expectant face.

“You said that some of the wine your wife previously brewed will soon mature. Is the wine ready?” He asked and Zhen Yuan nodded.

“There are three types of level four wines.” He said, pointing at the wine section.

Seeing this, Song Wanfeng and his group went to see.

“Maple leaf wine, Yellow apple wine, and purple-red elderberries wine.” Brother Lu read while looking at the wine pots.

“How much can I buy?” Song Wanfeng asked.

“Ten pots of each type.” Zhen Yuan informed and Song Wanfeng didn’t argue.

After settling the level four wine, he bought the lower-level wines before purchasing thousands of talismans.

’He is a hypocrite but he is a good customer.’ Zhen Yuan sighed.

The Myriad Treasures Pavillion through Song Wanfeng constituted more than fifty per cent of the shop’s business over the past two years.

Because of this, Zhen Yuan was unusually tolerant of the man’s antics.

After all, he still needed to collect enough spirit stones for practice and travel.

Considering that they would leave as soon as Shen Xu came out of seclusion, Zhen Yuan didn’t plan to disrupt the superficial harmony.

“Young master Song said he had two reasons for visiting…” Zhen Yuan asked with a curious expression.

“I have an unkind request.” Song Wanfeng asked, looking a little embarrassed.

However, Zhen Yuan could see the man was not actually embarrassed.

In the spirit of avoiding trouble, Zhen Yuan decided not to play along.

After all, the man had already said the request was unkind!

Knowing that, why would he invite trouble to himself?

“The third young master Song is a generous person but I have a simple background and can’t afford to be too kind.” Zhen Yuan said and quickly continued.

“I would rather not hear the request since young master Song has already said it’s unkind.”

Hearing this, Song Wanfeng and his group didn’t know what to do.

Normally, a person would play along and promise to help if the request was within his capabilities.

But what about Xu Yuan?

The man didn’t act according to common sense and Song Wanfeng was momentarily at a loss.

’How to continue this conversation?’ He wondered but soon gritted his teeth and firmed his heart.

“I heard the three Ma brothers caused trouble in the Xuyuan shop five months ago. I will not lie to boss Xu; the Ma family is a close friend of my Myriad Treasures Pavillion. Knowing that you and I are friends, I have been asked to intervene in this matter. I don’t know if we can come up with an amicable agreement?” Song Wanfeng asked.

By mentioning the Myriad Treasures Pavillion, Song Wanfeng meant to subtly threaten Xu Yuan.

Unfortunately, Xu Yuan was not so easily threatened.

“This incident was settled five months ago.” Zhen Yuan said and Song Wanfeng couldn’t help but frown.

He didn’t think Zhen Yuan would feign ignorance.

However, he didn’t plan to give up.

After all, the Ma brothers were still not healed even after going to the alchemy tower region.

Knowing this, Song Wanfeng felt it was imperative to find out the truth before falling out with Xu Yuan.

That way, he would feel safe when dealing with Xu Yuan in the future.

But what he could think of, Zhen Yuan could also think of.

For that reason, Zhen Yuan determined to continue feigning ignorance.

As long as he posed an unknown threat, Song Wanfeng wouldn’t dare to recklessly attack him.

’I just need to hold on until Xiaoxu comes out of seclusion.’ He thought.

Although Zhen Yuan could leave Chaoyang city without waiting for Shen Xu to come out of seclusion, he didn’t want to.

After all, the double hadn’t yet had a chance to explore the city.

Considering that, Zhen Yuan didn’t want to leave because he didn’t know when they would next have a chance to return to Chaoyang city.

Thinking of this, Zhen Yuan sighed with a frustrated expression.

“If you are talking about the broken legs, I still think the problem lies with the Ma brothers. I don’t know why their injuries didn’t heal.”

“This…” Song Wanfeng started but didn’t know what to say.

“Aren’t you talking nonsense?” Brother Lu said and quickly continued.

“Many alchemists and spiritual healers have examined the Ma brothers but haven’t discovered anything wrong with their bodies. The strangeness must be because of you.”

Zhen Yuan shrugged when he heard this.

“This matter has nothing to do with me.” He said and prepared to sit.

However, Song Wanfeng still didn’t give up.

“Boss Xu, the Ma family has prepared a heavy reward for anyone who can heal the three brothers. Don’t you want to consider it?” He asked.
