Chapter 9: When Enemies Meet

This time, more memories emerged in his mind, not only about Kunlun Divine Prison but also about his own origins, clearer than those that surfaced yesterday.

At this moment, another scene appeared in his memory.

Atop a peak, an old man in a white robe had cornered a youth, about fifteen or sixteen years old, to the brink of a cliff, and said coldly, "Qin Chuan, you'd better come back with me willingly, otherwise, I can only kill you!"

Clutching his teeth in anger, the youth said, "I have successfully defeated the Six Protectors of Kunlun. According to the rules, I am allowed to leave. What right do you have to stop me?"

The old man in white gave a cold huff, "That was before. Now, no one is allowed to leave Kunlun Divine Prison! Besides, you've been poisoned with the Kunlun Divine Poison; without the antidote, you won't live past three days! Even if I let you go, you'd be on a one-way path to death."

"Heh!"

With a cold laugh and madness in his eyes, the youth gritted his teeth and said, "If you can't grant me my freedom, what was the point of all my struggles over these years?"

"What is there to fear in death? Hahaha..."

Having said that, he turned around, looked at the abyss beneath his feet, leapt boldly, and his hearty laughter echoed throughout the entire abyss.

The memory ended there!

"Pfft!"

At this moment, Qin Chuan suddenly spewed out a mouthful of blood and collapsed straight to the ground.

His complexion turned pale, his head drenched in sweat, his lips purple, and his skin burned with pain.

"Mr. Qin!"

Elder Luo had just rushed out after hearing the commotion outside, only to find Qin Chuan on the ground, convulsing.

"What happened to Xiao Chuan?"

Sun Xiuyun also ran out and saw Qin Chuan lying on the ground, motionless. She was full of worry; he was fine during dinner, so how could he suddenly fall ill?

Elder Luo took out a set of silver needles to treat Qin Chuan, with Sun Xiuyun assisting.

The couple worked together seamlessly, but Elder Luo's treatment failed to have any effect. Qin Chuan's body trembled even more violently, and his heartbeat was incredibly slow.

"Why is this happening?"

Elder Luo, sweating profusely and frowning, said, "What kind of poison has he been inflicted with? Why is my Detoxification Acupuncture Method having no effect on him?"

Sun Xiuyun was also pale and worried when she suddenly thought of something and looked at Elder Luo, "Changsheng, there might be only one way to save him now."

After hearing Sun Xiuyun's words, Elder Luo immediately understood her meaning. His face showed hesitation, and he couldn't help but look at Qin Chuan.

At this moment, Qin Chuan was the very image of someone severely poisoned, growing weaker by the moment and on the brink of death.

Elder Luo looked at Sun Xiuyun and said in a deep voice, "This is the dowry we saved for our granddaughter's future husband. Is it appropriate to give it to him?"

Sun Xiuyun glared at Elder Luo, already up and heading towards the room, saying, "In matters of life and death, do we need to consider so much? Besides, I've already accepted him as my potential grandson-in-law."

Elder Luo opened his mouth to speak but in the end, said nothing, only looked at Qin Chuan and said, "I hope you won't disappoint me."

Quickly, Sun Xiuyun came back with a delicate and ancient-looking small porcelain bottle. As soon as she opened the stopper, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out.

Without any hesitation, she stuffed the pill, the size of a pigeon's egg, from the porcelain bottle into Qin Chuan's mouth.

Elder Luo looked on in distress, addressing Sun Xiuyun, "This is the Detoxification Pill, known to be able to cure all poisons. If it were auctioned, it could fetch tens of millions. Isn't it rash to just give it to a young man we met just a day ago?"

Sun Xiuyun glared at Elder Luo and said irritably, "This is my Xiao Family's heirloom. I am not pained to part with it, look at how stingy you are."

"Didn't you say yourself that Xiao Chuan's medical skills surpass yours? He's so young; can you really bear to watch him plummet? Moreover, you know better than I the enormous potential of such a young Divine Doctor whose skills already exceed yours."

"I can see that Xiao Chuan is a True Dragon. Someday, he will stand tall above the rest and shake the whole of Shen Zhou! Saving his life today, the reward we might receive in the future could far exceed the favor we are granting him now."

Looking at Sun Xiuyun's resolute eyes, Elder Luo felt ashamed, and no longer had any reluctance to let Qin Chuan take the valuable Detoxification Pill.

With a sly smile, Sun Xiuyun added, "Besides, if Xiao Chuan becomes our grandson-in-law, what's a mere Detoxification Pill worth?"

At that moment, she no longer had the kind demeanor she'd shown when she first met Qin Chuan but rather resembled a cunning old fox.

After taking the Detoxification Pill, Qin Chuan's heartbeat gradually returned to normal, his formerly pale complexion and purplish lips began to recover their natural color.

With a look of amazement, Sun Xiuyun exclaimed, "Truly worthy of being a Detoxification Pill; it has so quickly rid Xiao Chuan's body of the deadly poison."

At this moment, Qin Chuan slowly opened his eyes and saw Sun Xiuyun looking at him with concern.

Luo Changsheng hastily helped Qin Chuan sit up and asked, "Mr. Qin, how do you feel now? Is there still any discomfort?"

Qin Chuan shook his head, then stood up and bowed seriously to Luo Changsheng and Sun Xiuyun, saying, "Thank you both for saving my life. I, Qin Chuan, will definitely repay this kindness in the future!"

Sun Xiuyun shook her head, smiling broadly, "Once you marry my granddaughter, we will be family. This bit of kindness is nothing."

Qin Chuan looked embarrassed.

Luo Changsheng's face was grave as he said, "Mr. Qin, what kind of poison did you get poisoned with? Even my Detoxification Acupuncture Method was useless. If it weren't for the fact that we happened to have a Detoxification Pill, I'm afraid we couldn't have cleared the toxins from your body."

Qin Chuan's expression immediately darkened; having recovered some of his memories just now, he was naturally clear about the severe poison in his body.

Soon, Qin Chuan's expression returned to normal, and he asked Luo Changsheng, "Elder Luo, do you know of Kunlun Divine Prison?"

"Kunlun Divine Prison?"

Luo Changsheng shook his head and turned to Sun Xiuyun, "Xiu Yun, have you heard of this place?"

"Never heard of it!"

After Sun Xiuyun had spoken, she turned to Qin Chuan and asked, "Xiao Chuan, is the severe poison in your body related to this place?"

Qin Chuan looked at Sun Xiuyun somewhat surprisedly, and then shook his head, saying, "Elder Luo, Granny Sun, I've troubled you tonight!"

Seeing he didn't wish to disclose more, Sun Xiuyun didn't press further, saying, "Xiao Chuan, you should also rest early!"

Just as the elders were about to return to their rooms, Sun Xiuyun suddenly turned around, smiling, "By the way, I was just video calling my granddaughter, and I've arranged for you, a lunch together at home this Saturday!"

Without waiting for Qin Chuan to reply, she had already pulled Luo Changsheng back to their room.

Qin Chuan was stunned, having thought that Sun Xiuyun was just joking; he didn't expect her to be serious. She had already arranged everything for him?

Meanwhile, in the main bedroom on the first floor of the villa.

Luo Changsheng's face was full of seriousness as he said to Sun Xiuyun, "Xiu Yun, do you really want to matchmake Qin Chuan with Yi Yi?"

Sun Xiuyun glared at him and said irritably, "What? Do you think Xiao Chuan is not worthy of Yi Yi?"

Luo Changsheng shook his head, "It's not a matter of worthiness. The Xiao Family has already arranged an engagement for Yi Yi, with the ceremony to take place next month. You're trying to set up Qin Chuan with Yi Yi; isn't this causing trouble?"

Sun Xiuyun said angrily, "Don't you understand that Yi Yi doesn't want to accept this engagement at all? Just because the other party is a wealthy family, the Xiao Family is willing to sacrifice my granddaughter's happiness, why should they?"

"I don't care about that; I just want my granddaughter to be happy. I think very highly of Xiao Chuan, convinced he is a True Dragon. If Yi Yi marries him, she'll definitely be happy!"

The next day, Luo Changsheng brought up the matter of treating his friend's granddaughter's illness.

Qin Chuan naturally wouldn't refuse.

Half an hour later, the two arrived in front of a detached villa, this one much larger than Luo Changsheng's by four to five times, with a larger yard and surrounded by trees that didn't block the sunlight from the villa's courtyard at all, resembling a top-secret estate hidden in the forest.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but ask, "Elder Luo, your friend must be quite something, huh?"

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have known that such a secluded paradise existed within Jiangcheng City, where he had lived for ten years.

"You'll find out in a moment."

Luo Changsheng replied with a mysterious smile, then added, "If you can cure Old Song's granddaughter, not only will you receive a generous reward, but the friendship of the Song Family is the most valuable. Make sure you cherish this opportunity!"

Qin Chuan nodded, "I'll do my best!"

He was penniless, saddled with a huge debt, and the Jade Muscle Continuation Ointment needed for treating Qin Nian's legs would require a substantial sum of money to purchase expensive medicinal herbs.

If he could cure this patient, all of these problems would be solved.

"Qin Chuan!"

Just as they were about to enter, a voice filled with hostility rang out.

Qin Chuan turned around to see a black Land Rover Range Rover parked at the gate, with Wang Song staring at him intently; beside him stood a Western-looking middle-aged man.

Enemies meeting, their eyes were red with hatred!

Wang Song wanted to run Qin Nian over with his car; this was a mortal grudge!
