In the backyard, there was a strong smell of medicine. The strong Chinese medicine made people want to vomit, but Zhou Ruoxue still walked into the yard, came to a door, and knocked lightly.
"Father, I'm Xue'er, and I'm back." Zhou Ruoxue said sadly outside.
"Ahem... Xue'er? Come in quickly and let Weifu see you." A very weak voice came from inside.
Zhou Ruoxue pushed open the door, and what came into view was a skinny middle-aged man in his forties. Two maids beside him kept supporting him, and the sound of coughing and rinsing came from the thin man's mouth. out.
"Father, are you in good health? Your daughter's unfilial piety made you worry." Zhou Ruoxue cried softly after speaking.
"Son, it's good to come back. My father knows I'm sorry for you, and I have really wronged you these years. Your mother left early, and my father has not cared enough for you these years. Cough cough..."
"Father, don't say a few words, don't say anything, I understand." After speaking, Dou Da's tears kept streaming from the girl's eyes.
There was a miserable scene in the room, the man was as thin as a stick, the woman was crying secretly, Zhou Ruoxue helped her father to the window, looked at the scenery outside, the coughing sound kept coming out of the man's mouth, sometimes even with blood.
"Xue'er, you didn't encounter any danger when you went out this time. I heard from your aunt just now that someone brought you back. Who is this person and how did you know each other? Cough cough..."
"Yes, Father, thanks to Brother Chen this time, otherwise Xue'er would have a hard time seeing her father again." Zhou Ruoxue briefly talked about how she was attacked and then took refuge in Ancheng. She saw Chen Xuan naked. But did not say.
"Help me up and take a look, I also want to thank this young man, ahem..."
Two maids supported the thin man, walked out of the room full of medicine, and walked back to the road that Zhou Ruoxue had walked just now.
When Chen Xuan came in, his divine sense had already been released. The highest realm here should be the Yuan Wu Realm. Even if Chen Xuan's divine sense with such strength was released, they would not be able to sense it.
There are probably dozens of Yuanwu Realm powerhouses in this Zhou family, but it seems that most of them are in the early Yuanwu Realm, and there are hundreds of True Martial Realm strengths, but these are not considered by Chen Xuan at this time. In less than a stick of incense, Chen Xuan had a clear idea of the strength of the Zhou family.
Chen Xuan watched every move inside just now, his eyes flickering constantly, "I didn't expect that the Patriarch of the Zhou family encountered a severe poison in his body, and this poison has been eroding his body." Chen Xuan Sitting down, he said to himself.
After a cup of tea, a smell of medicine began to spread into the hall. Chen Xuan knew that the Patriarch of the Zhou family was coming, so he got up and saw a man with a dark complexion and a strong smell on his body. The man with medicine gas walked in with the help of two maidservants, Zhou Ruoxue followed closely behind.
This skinny man shrank his eyes the moment he saw Chen Xuan again. Although he couldn't tell from his body that he would be the head of a family who ruled thousands of people, those eyes couldn't cover up his body. That hidden arrogance.
"You were the one who sent Xue'er back. Sure enough, a hero is born as a young man. I thank this young man for Xue'er. Come here and order me to treat this young man well tonight." This dark-skinned middle-aged man did not Coughing, he gave instructions to the servants below.
"Yes, sir."
Then several servants went down to prepare.
"Please sit down. I don't know what the young man is called, and where did he learn from?" The middle-aged man was helped by two maids to a seat and sat on it.
"Junior Chen Xuan, who is a teacher of Danxuan sect, met Miss Zhou by accident in Ancheng this time, and sent her back by the way." Chen Xuan sat down, cupped his hands and said to the superior Zhou family patriarch.
"It turned out to be a young hero from Danxuanmen. I'm disrespectful and disrespectful. If there is any disrespect, please forgive me, ahem..." When the middle-aged man heard that Chen Xuan was from Danxuanmen, his tone changed and he became more polite again. .
"Patriarch Zhou is being polite, please forgive me if I disturb you." Chen Xuan said very politely.
Originally, Chen Xuan planned to send Zhou Ruoxue off and go back by himself. At that time, when he looked at Zhou Ruoxue's red eyes and himself, as if he wanted to say something, Chen Xuan couldn't bear it, and held back the words that came to his lips. .
"Young hero can come, we welcome you very much, there is no need to disturb him, you can stay at our Zhou's house for a few more days if you don't mind, young hero, and let us do our landlord's favor, cough cough cough..." The man said this time He coughed and swished several times in succession.
"Forgive me for asking, did Patriarch Zhou suffer from some kind of poison?" Chen Xuan asked.
The eyes of the man sitting on it lit up again, "Could it be that the young man knows about this poison!"
"I'm just guessing. When I watched Patriarch Zhou, my whole body turned black, and there were things constantly eroding your internal organs. Generally, except for a kind of Gu poison, there are some violent poisons." Chen Xuan He didn't hide anything, he spoke out his opinion.
"You're right, my body has indeed suffered from severe poison, and this poison has been tormenting me year after year. It has been ten years, and my body has begun to be unable to withstand the consumption of this poison. .” The eyes of the middle-aged man suddenly dimmed.
"Forgive me, I think Patriarch Zhou's strength is also at the peak of Yuanwu Realm. At this point, his body is already invulnerable to all poisons. Why is Patriarch Zhou still suffering from poisoning?"
"Well, since you asked, I won't hide it from you. This kind of poison is colorless and tasteless, and Yuanli can't lock him at all. Back then, when I was fighting someone, I was attacked by the opponent and was shot by a poisonous dart. I was shot, and I finally realized that I was being plotted by someone, they had already set up an ambush, and finally I escaped with all my might, and since then this poison has been with me, and my family has also plummeted." Zhong The young man recalled the past, and a painful expression kept appearing on his face.
Chen Xuan pondered for a while, but did not answer. Just now, his spiritual consciousness had entered the body of the Patriarch of the Zhou family, and he also discovered that this kind of poison was corrosive, and his own soul power was almost corroded when it entered. , Such an overbearing poison, Chen Xuan secretly thought.
"Young man is well-informed, do you know what kind of poison this is?" Patriarch Zhou asked.
"I don't know!" Chen Xuan didn't hide anything, and he had never encountered such a domineering poison.
Back then, since I was in the Demon Forest, I met a Shanmang Jiao. At that time, his venom had a slight corrosive effect, but compared with this, it was nothing.
"Compared to the young man, he also knows about our Xue'er." The man shot Chen Xuan's eyes directly.
"I've heard from Miss Zhou, but it's your family's business after all, so I can't say anything."
"Oh, it's just that Xue'er is suffering." After speaking, the man glanced at Zhou Ruoxue who was standing beside him.
"Let me tell you the truth, this time I want to marry the Hu family, they promised to give me a 'Moluodan'. That's why I agreed to this marriage, which made young heroes laugh."
