Chapter 572: Touch and Die

Chapter 572: Chapter 572: Touch and Die

Lu Yaosheng fell into utter despair, his strength sapped from his body. He knew that he was completely doomed.

The Guardian Hall was his last resort, and now that the Guardians of the Eight were unconscious, and the men of the Law Enforcement Hall were all kneeling before Qin Chuan, how could he possibly turn the tables?

Lu Yanwu’s beautiful eyes stared fixedly at Qin Chuan. What bullshit protectors of the Guardian Hall; weren’t they also kneeling at Qin Chuan’s feet begging for mercy?

This was a man who stood tall and unyielding!

Tears of excitement welled up in Murong Mingyue’s eyes as they spilled over. Just moments ago, during Lu Yaosheng’s grandiloquent speech in the banquet hall, she thought Qin Chuan had truly been defeated. Yet, not only had Qin Chuan not lost, but he had also made the people of the Guardian Hall kneel at his feet.

Murong Jing’s eyes filled with complexity. Thinking back to his first encounter with Qin Chuan, he wished he could slap himself several times. It was only because Qin Chuan had not held a grudge that a grave for Murong Jing had not been erected by now.

Murong Qin and Long Sanlin, husband and wife, faced fear and despair. The stronger Qin Chuan became, the higher Murong Mingyue’s status in the Murong Family soared. After today, who else would dare to compete with Murong Mingyue for the position of heir?

"Mr. Qin, please save the Guardian of the Eight. If only you would make a move, you would be the savior for all of us in the Eighth Law Enforcement Hall!"

The leading powerhouse of the Law Enforcement Hall pleaded with a face full of sorrow.

Qin Chuan glanced indifferently at the Guardian of the Eight and then his lips curled into a mocking smile. He said, "It seems there’s still a bit of residue in the pot. If you all try hard to squeeze it, you should be able to extract a bit more of the concentrated medicinal soup. Feed it to the Guardian of the Eight, and I assure you he will wake up immediately."

Hearing this, the people of the Law Enforcement Hall’s eyes lit up.

"That’s right, after taking the medicinal soup, the Guardian of the Eight already woke up once. If he drinks a bit more of the concentrated essence of the medicinal soup, he will surely be cured of his ailment."

The leader of the Law Enforcement Hall slapped his forehead and ordered the third in command, "Third brother, quick, squeeze the residue in the pot and extract every last drop of medicinal soup from it for me."

"Right away, boss!"

The third brother responded and hurriedly began squeezing the medicinal residue with a jar.

"Cough cough cough~"

Suddenly, a bout of coughing sounded. Astonishingly, the Guardian of the Eight, who had previously passed out, woke up again.

The Guardian of the Eight asked in a daze, "Where am I?"

"Guardian of the Eight!"

Seeing the Guardian of the Eight awaken, the people of the Law Enforcement Hall were extremely excited.

The excited leader of the Law Enforcement Hall said, "Guardian of the Eight, this is the Lu Family in the Secular World. Mr. Qin just saved you. It was he who spared no effort, had us collect boys’ urine to brew medicine for you and made you wake up so quickly."

He did not forget to curry favor on behalf of Qin Chuan, utterly oblivious to the flash of humiliation and anger in the depths of the Guardian of the Eight’s eyes.

"Kid, this time, I owe you one!"

The Guardian of the Eight gritted his teeth as he looked at Qin Chuan.

A smile played on Qin Chuan’s lips as he said, "No need to thank me. After all, the medicinal ingredients were captured by your Law Enforcement Hall, the boys’ urine was gathered by your people, and the brewing of the medicinal soup was personally done by your Law Enforcement Hall."

At this point, he suddenly, with a beaming smile, turned to Qin Bancheng, "Oh yes, and as for the large jar you used to drink the medicinal soup, it was Great Elder Qin who personally found it."

Watching Qin Chuan’s teasing smile, Qin Bancheng’s face turned green. Damn it, he truly was a scheming man. Even at a time like this, he did not forget to drag me into hostility.

Qin Bancheng felt aggrieved but couldn’t help but say, "When it comes to merit, Mr. Qin should claim the greatest contribution. After all, my preparation of the jar was similar to the task of the other brothers from the Law Enforcement Hall; we were all preparing things according to Mr. Qin’s instructions."

The leading powerhouse of the Law Enforcement Hall immediately said, "Exactly, exactly, Great Elder Qin is right. Mr. Qin is indeed the one who deserves the greatest credit. If not for his exceptional medical skills, we might not have been able to bring back the Guardian of the Eight."

The second elder of the Law Enforcement Hall also said, "That’s right, Mr. Qin should claim the greatest contribution!"

"Mr. Qin should claim the greatest contribution!"

...

Once someone started, the others from the Law Enforcement Hall spoke up one after another, helping Qin Chuan to claim his merit.

Qin Bancheng’s face was full of smiles. Squinting his eyes, he stared at Qin Chuan, actually wanting to see how Qin Chuan would respond.

However, he didn’t see any anger on Qin Chuan’s face; instead, his smile became even brighter. Qin Chuan suddenly glanced in his direction.

Qin Bancheng immediately sensed something was amiss.

Sure enough, he then heard Qin Chuan say with a laugh, "Everyone, don’t be modest now. You’re right; it indeed was my knowledge of medicine that saved the Guardian of the Eight. But don’t forget, what was the situation at that time? I had just fought with the Guardian of the Eight. How could I possibly help someone who wanted me dead?"

The people of the Law Enforcement Hall then came to a sudden realization. If Qin Chuan hadn’t mentioned it, they would have almost forgotten that they were there to capture Qin Chuan and take him to the Guardian Hall for trial.

Qin Chuan continued, "It was Great Elder Qin who offered the family’s most precious treasure in exchange for the chance to heal the Guardian of the Eight. If not for Great Elder Qin, I would not have helped the Guardian of the Eight at all. So, if the Guardian of the Eight managed to keep his life, Great Elder Qin should claim the greatest contribution."

"Alright, alright, none of you need to be modest any longer. If the credit is mine, I won’t shy away from it. If it’s not mine, I won’t arrogantly claim it. If the Guardian of the Eight wants to express gratitude, he should properly thank Great Elder Qin!"

Qin Bancheng’s complexion turned pale. He would never have imagined Qin Chuan could be so shameless. Even though it had nothing to do with him anymore, Qin Chuan managed to redirect the hatred onto him.

How could he not know that the Guardian of the Eight, after waking up from the medicinal soup previously, had feigned unconsciousness? It was really because the Guardian of the Eight was too proud. If not for Qin Chuan threatening to continue treating him with the medicinal residue, he would certainly have kept up the pretense.

"Great Elder Qin, I will always remember this great kindness and favor!"

Sure enough, the Guardian of the Eight looked towards him, almost gritting his teeth as he spoke.

Qin Bancheng felt like crying. If he had known earlier, he would not have deliberately provoked Qin Chuan. Now it had backfired terribly.

After the Guardian of the Eight finished speaking, he looked towards Qin Chuan again, his eyes blazing with intense anger. He stared fiercely at Qin Chuan and said, "Qin Chuan, I will remember what happened today. I hope to see you again in the Ancient Martial World!"

"Let’s go!"

Following the command of the Guardian of the Eight, who couldn’t walk on his own due to severe sequelae from using the Asura Buddha Hand, he had to be carried away by the people of the Law Enforcement Hall.

"Mr. Qin, farewell!"

"Mr. Qin, we’ll be waiting for you in the Ancient Martial World!"

"Mr. Qin, when you get to the Ancient Martial World, remember to find us for a drink!"

...

Before leaving, several members of the Law Enforcement Hall bowed to Qin Chuan with clenched fists, their eyes filled with respect and anticipation for Qin Chuan’s arrival in the Ancient Martial World.

Seeing the Guardian of the Eight leading people away, Qin Bancheng also prepared to sneak off. However, he had only taken a few steps when he heard Qin Chuan’s voice filled with murderous intent from behind, "If you dare take half a step further, you die!"
