Chapter 208: Divine Doctors and Soldier Kings Everywhere
The next day, Chen Xiyi dealt with the unclean things. A new grave appeared next to the scorched corpse’s grave.
These two represented water and fire. It was fate that they could be buried in the same place.
On the way back, they did not go to the residential area in the city center. Ximen Yue directly brought Chen Xiyi to the villa district.
They said they moved, but Chen Xiyi guessed they were still scared and abandoned everything inside.
Otherwise, how could it be so fast?
The promotion condition for Sequence One had reached 2%. Death Notice had also leveled up again.
The passive range increased from 11 meters to 12 meters, and the active effect was enhanced once more.
But as soon as they returned to the villa, someone was already waiting for them.
A female police officer, and a young man in casual clothes who looked sloppy and not serious at all.
As soon as they entered, the female police officer showed her badge and asked directly, “Mr. Ximen, we need to ask you about some matters. The hospital and Funeral Parlor reported that you first…”
“About that matter, I…” Ximen Yue gave his father a look, signaling him to entertain Chen Xiyi, and then cooperated with the female officer’s questions.
Chen Xiyi watched this scene with great interest. He was not interested in the female police officer; he was interested in that young man. The young man was about the same age as Ye Fan, but both his prefix and abilities made Chen Xiyi feel this guy was extraordinary.
[Qin Tian the Soldier King, Health Points: 100%, Status: Interesting]
[Ability 1: Peach Blossom Luck]
[Ability 2: God-Level Combat]
[Ability 3: Martial Way Minor Achievement]
[Experience]
[April: Coincidentally met police officer Liu Yue on the road, felt playful, accompanied her to investigate]
[April: Helped the female landlord deal with local thugs]
[April: Was used as a shield by a female office worker]
[April: …]
Looking at the other’s experiences, Chen Xiyi didn’t know what to say for a moment. His days were so full, meeting various beauties every day.
More importantly, Chen Xiyi had a feeling of déjà vu.
This Qin Tian and Ye Fan seemed like carbon copies—one a Soldier King, the other a Divine Doctor.
They shared common traits: Peach Blossom Luck plus a god-level ability plus some minor achievement.
The only difference was their experiences; one was just starting out, the other had already been through many storms.
Chen Xiyi guessed that Qin Tian must be a hidden top-tier special forces soldier, with a top-secret clearance level SSS. Only a few people at the highest levels of power could access his files. He had completed various difficult missions but was discharged after hitting a superior officer—usually for a righteous reason, either for a little girl during a mission, who might now be living with him, or for some beautiful older sister, possibly in a love-hate relationship.
There were other possibilities, but the probability was smaller.
Although this Soldier King was discharged, his old connections were still there. With one phone call, he could summon the elite special forces team that couldn’t be mobilized easily.
To be honest, if he hadn’t been discharged, Qin Tian might have become a legendary Soldier King. Now that he was discharged, he was probably enjoying a life of luxury every day.
After all, that was the usual plot.
Ye Fan’s Peach Blossom Luck might have just begun, but Qin Tian’s was already at its peak. Otherwise, how could he meet women every day?
Chen Xiyi felt this guy was probably beyond saving and could only be a stud.
Standing to the side, Qin Tian felt uncomfortable under Chen Xiyi’s gaze.
If he wasn’t trying to maintain his demeanor in front of the police beauty, Qin Tian would have lost his temper with Chen Xiyi right then.
“Well, I understand. Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Ximen. We will investigate further.” The female officer put away her notes and prepared to leave.
Then she turned and left. Qin Tian followed her out, flirting and joking with her along the way, completely ignoring everyone else present.
“Master, was there something wrong with that guy? You were staring at him earlier?” Ximen Yue asked curiously after seeing them off.
“Yes, very wrong. Judging by his appearance, he is a Soldier King with powerful backing. Don’t provoke him. If you do offend him, try to resolve it with an apology or some compensation. Otherwise, having your whole family wiped out would be a normal outcome.” Chen Xiyi said earnestly.
Ximen Yue and his father looked at each other. It couldn’t be that exaggerated, could it?
“I understand, Master. I will avoid him.” Ximen Yue didn’t consider trying to win favor with him after hearing this.
The other’s attitude from the start was sloppy, completely looking down on them.
He originally thought it was bad manners, but it turned out the other just didn’t value them. It was better to stay away from such people, especially since Chen Xiyi mentioned that offending him could lead to the whole family being wiped out. With such unpredictable moods, who knew if trying to win his favor might lead to being eliminated over some minor issue?
Rather than trying to win over this unknown Soldier King, it was better to stick with Chen Xiyi, who had real skills and a good temperament.
“Don’t call me Master when it’s unnecessary. We live in a scientific age. You can’t abandon science just because of some unscientific events.” Chen Xiyi corrected him earnestly. Only if everyone upheld science could he, an unscientific Player, blend in.
“That’s true. It’s fine to call you that at home, but outside, it might not be good for you, Master. How about we call you Mr. Chen instead, to follow the trends?” Ximen Yue’s father suggested to ease the tension.
“That’s fine.” Chen Xiyi could accept any title as long as it wasn’t Master.
He then paused and added, “Mr. Chen, my elder brother’s birthday banquet is tomorrow evening. We sincerely hope you can attend.”
“Your elder brother? He must be quite old.” Chen Xiyi asked.
“He’s seventy. He is the head of the Ximen Family and the leader of the Ximen Group. Our Ximen Family is considered the top of the four Noble Families in Yanzhou. My elder brother admires you greatly. If you are willing to attend, you will be our most honored guest.”
Ximen Yue’s father, Ximen Zhang, said.
But Chen Xiyi couldn’t help but think, holy crap. A birthday banquet plus these Soldier Kings and Divine Doctors—who would believe nothing happens?
“May I ask, did anything happen at your elder brother’s sixtieth birthday banquet?” Chen Xiyi inquired.
Ximen Zhang was taken aback and smiled wryly, “Did you divine something, sir? Ten years ago, my elder brother’s birthday banquet was originally an engagement party for my grandniece, a marriage alliance with the Liu Family. But suddenly a poor young man appeared and eloped with my grandniece, which greatly embarrassed our Ximen Family.”
“The Liu Family? The female police officer who came today is from the Liu Family, right?” Chen Xiyi asked curiously.
“Yes, the eldest daughter of the Liu Family head. I didn’t expect you to see that, sir.” Ximen Yue replied.
Duh, anyone could see that. With the Soldier King by her side, that female police officer must have some status. If she weren’t from a Noble Family, how would the upcoming face-slapping plots involving matchmaking, marriage alliances, etc., happen?
Chen Xiyi felt that the classic trope was emerging.
“I suggest your elder brother’s seventieth birthday banquet should be canceled. Otherwise, it might turn from a birthday celebration into a funeral.” Chen Xiyi advised sincerely.
Everyone present looked shocked. They felt Chen Xiyi wouldn’t say such things without reason.
“But the invitations have already been sent. Changing plans so suddenly might…” Ximen Yue said worriedly.
But before he could finish, Ximen Zhang interrupted him, “I will talk to my elder brother and see what he says.”
The Ximen Family members knew this birthday banquet was a major event that absolutely could not be delayed. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have dared to make a fuss even when their own grandson and son died, keeping them at home temporarily.
Wasn’t it because they were afraid it would affect the banquet?
They enjoyed the privileges brought by the Ximen Family, so they naturally had to bear the corresponding responsibilities.
Otherwise, why would they look so worried when they first met? It was because they couldn’t bury their family members and couldn’t even attend the birthday banquet.
Luckily, Chen Xiyi saved them.
So now everything was fine, and they could attend the banquet tomorrow.
This wasn’t just a simple birthday banquet; it was also a business meeting, a place for interest exchanges, and most importantly, the transition of leadership within the Ximen Family.
The seventy-year-old family head was stepping down. The handover ceremony for the new leader was at this banquet.
Otherwise, why would it be so serious? If it were just a regular birthday banquet, canceling it wouldn’t be a big deal.
“Sir, what exactly could happen to make it so severe that the birthday banquet turns into a funeral?” Ximen Yue couldn’t help but ask.
Chen Xiyi thought for a moment, “Many things. To put it simply, the world is wrong, not you.”
Hearing this, Ximen Yue’s pupils contracted. He didn’t expect such an answer.
“Is there a way to resolve it?” Ximen Yue asked respectfully. Seeing his father and uncle discussing it, canceling probably wasn’t an option, so he could only ask for a solution.
Chen Xiyi thought for a moment, “There is no solution, but there is a way to avoid it. Whether it works depends on your training.”
“Give me paper and a pen.”
He then started writing down some things.
For example, the attitudes of security guards and waiters must be good, especially towards young or middle-aged people wearing casual clothes or acting sloppily.
Also, pay attention to those with ordinary looks but very deep eyes, who appreciate beauty without lust when others look at women with lewd thoughts.
Or perhaps sons-in-law, fiancés of CEOs, or poor college students who got invitations from who-knows-where. Do not discriminate or provoke them.
Of course, an even more important point was to control their own arrogant or spoiled family members. Absolutely do not let them sneer or provoke others. It would be best to tie up all such troublemakers in a private room.
Most importantly, make sure they haven’t offended such people recently.
He filled an entire page. Ximen Yue and Ximen Zhang found it increasingly strange.
They felt this was overcorrecting.
“You better believe it. If I hadn’t warned you, who would have known about that Soldier King? If you really offended him, either I would have to kill him, or he would uproot your entire Ximen Family—yes, your whole clan, not just your immediate family.”
These people clearly had protagonist templates of the overpowered, harem-building type. They definitely weren’t simple.
If not for the previous incidents, Ximen Yue and Ximen Zhang would never have believed Chen Xiyi’s alarmist words. But after witnessing Chen Xiyi’s abilities, they naturally believed him, especially since he had no reason to deceive them.
“I understand. I will ask my elder brother to be cautious.” Ximen Zhang took the paper, feeling somewhat helpless. The taboos were numerous and peculiar, and implementing them would be quite challenging.
Ximen Zhang could believe it, but his elder brother might not, especially since the listed avoidances were truly bizarre.
‘However, it might not be impossible to deal with them. Besides brute force, I could also use others to eliminate them.’
Chen Xiyi pondered this. He didn’t know if these individuals were as resilient as protagonists, but if they all had this Peach Blossom Luck, perhaps with big data, he could incite them to kill each other.
For example, create a point of interaction for Peach Blossom Luck, where all holders of the ability fall for the same beautiful woman.
