Chapter 1248 I’m optimistic about you
Before Zhao Wuchen could finish speaking, his body could no longer support him, his vision went black, and he fell straight backward.
"Mr. Zhao!"
Chen Qishan grabbed Zhao Wuchen and hurriedly took out a jade bottle from his pocket, poured out a smooth and lustrous pill, pried open Zhao Wuchen's mouth, and fed it to him.
The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, and a gentle medicinal power slowly spread out.
Zhao Wuchen's disordered breathing gradually calmed down, and his complexion lost some of its ashen color. Although he was still weak and frail, he was much better than before.
"so far so good."
Chen Qishan breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "This 'Concentration and Restoration Pill' can temporarily stabilize the injury. With further treatment from the leader, the loss of lifespan should be mostly recovered. Although it will be difficult for his cultivation to return to its peak, it will not fall too much."
After saying this, he quickly walked to the side of the Grandmaster surnamed Li, examined him for a moment, and then said to the two concerned Grandmasters beside him:
"Junior Brother Li's meridians were only locked by the Shadow Killing Curse, and his fundamental health was not damaged. The power of the curse will gradually dissipate over time. There is no need for special detoxification. He will recover after a few days of rest."
After treating the two wounded, Chen Qishan turned to Jiang Xiaochuan and Lao Liu, his expression solemn, and bowed deeply to them.
"Thank you both for your help today! If it weren't for you holding back Hanzo and bringing out your powerful weapon at the crucial moment, we probably wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed."
"No need for thanks!"
Old Six scrambled to his feet, dusted himself off, and looked pained. He gestured towards Chen Qishan, saying:
"Old man, I risked my most treasured 'Golden Thunder Talisman' to save your Yan Brigade!"
"That's a treasure that disappeared in ancient times. Shouldn't your Yan Tribe reimburse me for it?"
"What? A Golden Thunder Talisman?"
Chen Qishan's expression changed drastically, and he took a half-step back in shock. "Young friend, are you joking? Those legendary ancient talismans have been lost for thousands of years. You..."
He had lived for more than a hundred years and had only seen records of this talisman in ancient books. He knew how precious it was. Not to mention Yan Lü, even if the entire China was searched, it was unlikely that a second one could be found.
But the power that the jade talisman unleashed instantly still resonates in my mind; it's probably impossible to fake.
"Who's joking with you!"
The sixth brother got anxious and said with his neck stiff, "I don't blame you for not having seen it, but if it weren't for my Golden Thunder Talisman exploding, could that old bastard's body have been blasted into nothingness? You can't deny it!"
He relentlessly pestered Chen Qishan, saying that the jade talisman was a family heirloom more important than his own life.
One minute they'd say it was a gift from their incredibly powerful mentor, which gave Chen Qishan a real headache.
The surrounding members of the Flame Tribe also looked troubled – if they really had to compensate with a Golden Thunder Talisman, even emptying the Flame Tribe headquarters wouldn't be enough.
Unable to resist the persistent entanglement, Chen Qishan pondered for a moment before gritting his teeth and making a promise: "Young friend, please calm down! The Golden Thunder Talisman is far too precious, and Yan Brigade is indeed unable to repay it."
"But if you are not in trouble with others because of your own mistakes and are being hunted down, you may go to West Mountain at any time!"
"As soon as you step into the territory of Xishan, Yan Lü will do everything in his power to protect you and ensure your safety!"
Seeing that Lao Liu's expression had softened, Chen Qishan quickly added:
"However, this matter still requires the chief's approval. Don't worry, I will report the facts. Chief, cough~ I've always been clear about my grudges and favors, so I'm sure you won't refuse."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Yan Brigade was shocked!
The right to protect Xishan is unprecedented since the establishment of Yanlv. Even forces that are on good terms with Yanlv may not be able to obtain this treatment.
But on second thought, compared to the compensation of the Golden Thunder Talisman, this right of protection, though precious, was still "worth it".
At this moment, everyone tacitly agreed that, given their leader's petty nature, even if he possessed a treasure comparable to the Golden Thunder Talisman, he would not be willing to part with it.
Lao Liu's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected Chen Qishan to make such a big concession.
He was well aware of the strength of the Flame Brigade. Xishan was probably their base. Once he stepped inside, no matter how many enemies he had, they couldn't do anything to him.
My Golden Thunder Talisman was originally a one-time consumable item, but now I've gained lifelong protection in return. It's a huge win!
Moreover, with this relationship, he can get closer to that icy beauty Tang Ran in the future, which is killing two birds with one stone!
He immediately beamed, clapped his hands, and said, "Alright! Old man, you keep your word! Then I'll reluctantly agree!"
Seeing that he had finally stopped pestering him, Chen Qishan breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Jiang Xiaochuan and said slowly, "As for Tang Ran... let her stay with you for now."
"what?"
Jiang Xiaochuan doubted that he had heard correctly.
Now that Hattori Hanzo is dead and the Japanese forces have temporarily retreated, what's the point of not withdrawing their people?
He immediately pulled Chen Qishan aside, his face showing displeasure, and said, "Old man, there's a limit to what you can do, isn't there?"
"Now that the Japanese have been dealt with, what do you mean by still letting this girl follow me? Do you really think I'm easy to manipulate?"
He respected Chen Qishan from the bottom of his heart, but Tang Ran's presence by his side was suspicious of him being monitored.
Now that the problem with the Japanese has been solved, the fact that Tang Ran hasn't been removed speaks volumes.
Moreover, after spending this time together...
Jiang Xiaochuan could vaguely sense that Tang Ran's attitude towards him had changed somewhat; she was no longer as cold as before, and occasionally even showed a hint of concern.
He lowered his voice even further: "Old man, aren't you afraid of losing both your wife and your army?"
"Young friend, you flatter me."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qishan showed no displeasure whatsoever; instead, he stroked his beard and laughed.
"Our Tang Ran is the famous 'Flower of Ice and Thorns' of the Flame Brigade. She has an unparalleled appearance and remarkable strength. Which of the young talents of the Flame Brigade is not enamored with her?"
"If you can really make her willingly stay by your side, it only proves that you are exceptionally capable. Yan Lü would be overjoyed, so why would she feel like she's at a loss?"
Hearing Chen Qishan's slightly encouraging words, Jiang Xiaochuan was completely dumbfounded.
He had initially thought it was surveillance, but he hadn't expected the other party to act this way. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond and could only stand there dumbfounded.
"hehe."
Seeing this, Chen Qishan patted Jiang Xiaochuan on the shoulder, his tone carrying a hint of watching a good show, "I have high hopes for you."
Then, he dropped his joking expression and changed the subject: "If you get bored staying down in the mountains, you can go up the mountain to have a look around from time to time."
"The leader really admires you, so perhaps..."
Before Chen Qishan could finish speaking, Jiang Xiaochuan shook his head repeatedly and resolutely refused.
He dared not easily go up West Mountain; Xuanjizi's eyes were too sharp.
Seeing Jiang Xiaochuan's resolute attitude, a hint of regret flashed in Chen Qishan's eyes, but he ultimately shook his head helplessly: "Whatever you say."
He turned and walked to the front of the crowd, saying loudly:
"Gentlemen, thank you both for your help today. Yan Lv will remember this kindness. We will take the wounded back for treatment first, and then we will take our leave."
