"Cough cough."

Zhou Chen coughed a few times, disrupting the strange atmosphere, and took the initiative to say: "Brother Nie, Sister Dong, this is my senior brother, Lin Chen from Langya Pavilion. He can cure Brother Nie's fire and cold poison."

Xia Dong and Nie Feng hurriedly looked at Lin Chen. Nie Feng was speechless, while Xia Dong bowed to Lin Chen to express his gratitude.

"Mr. Lin, thank you, thank you for coming to help Brother Feng detoxify."

Lin Chen said with a relaxed look: "How dare I not come? If I don't come, these two guys will scold me to death. Don't worry, leave your husband's poison to me, no problem."

Then he asked Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu, "Have you two told them about the detoxification?"

Xia Dong immediately asked, "What?"

Lin Chen was immediately shocked and asked, "You two haven't told them yet?"

Zhou Chen asked Mei Changsu first: "Why, Xiao Shu, it's been so long, you haven't told them yet?"

Mei Changsu sighed helplessly: "No."

Then he urged Lin Chen: "Okay, stop talking nonsense. You are a doctor, tell Brother Nie and Sister Dong."

Lin Chen rolled his eyes and said, "I am so unlucky to have met you two. You have to let me handle such troublesome things."

Although he complained, he still seriously told us how to cure the poison of fire and cold.

"First, let me explain the Fire and Cold Poison to you. This poison is the most bizarre poison in the world. It can save lives, but it can also kill people. It can also put people in hellish torture. People who are poisoned by this poison will have their bones deformed, their skin and flesh swelled, their whole body covered with white hair, their tongues stiffened, and they will be unable to speak, just like General Nie is now."

"The fire and cold poison attacks several times a day. When it attacks, you need to drink blood to calm it down, and human blood is the best. You should already know this, so I won't say more."

Among the people present, only Mu Nihuang looked confused. Although she had seen Nie Feng's current appearance, she really didn't understand the fire and cold poison.

But Lin Chen had no intention of explaining to her and continued with his narration.

“Two solutions.”

"Let's start with the first one: If you want to cure the fire and cold poison, to put it simply, you have to peel off the skin and grind the bones; but if you want to cure it completely, you have to reshape the broken bones of the fire and cold poisons, and then you have to stay in bed for at least a year to allow the bones and muscles to regenerate."

"The advantage of this method is that after the poison is removed, your face will be the same as that of an ordinary person, your tongue will become soft again, and you will be able to speak normally, but your appearance will be very different from before. However, this method of breaking bones and removing poison is extremely harmful to the body. Not only will your internal energy be completely destroyed, and you will no longer have any strength, but you will also suffer from many illnesses and injuries, and will have recurring colds from time to time, and you will not be able to live to the age of an ordinary person."

"The second solution is similar in principle to the first, but it only keeps the toxicity under control and does not harm the body. After the solution is completed, the toxicity will not recur every day like it does now, and there is no need to drink blood. Although the body cannot be restored to the physique of a warrior, it is no different from an ordinary person and can live to a ripe old age. However, the white hair on the body cannot be completely removed, and the stiffness of the tongue coating cannot be completely resolved, so it is difficult to speak clearly."

"Wait, what does it mean that we can't live as long as normal people?" Xia Dong suddenly asked.

Lin Chen said: "It means exactly what it says. If you want to choose the first and most thorough solution, you will have to sacrifice your life for it. But if you take good care of yourself, you will have no problem living to the age of 40."

In an instant, Mu Nihuang's eyes fell on Mei Changsu and Zhou Chen, because Mei Changsu said that they were all infected with the fire and cold poison.

Mei Changsu said dissatisfiedly: "Don't scare them. In fact, it is not necessarily as terrible as he said. Xiaochen and I both chose the first solution. I really became what he said. My internal energy was fully stimulated, and I had many illnesses and injuries, and my cold disease often recurred;

But Xiaochen is completely different from me. Not only has he regained his inner strength, he has also become stronger than before. He is not sick or injured, and he doesn’t have any colds, so you can’t believe everything he says.”

Mu Nihuang and Xia Dong thought about it and it seemed to be true. Mei Changsu was indeed in poor health, but Zhou Chen's body was extremely strong and he was even one of the strongest people on the list of top ten masters.

But Lin Chen snorted coldly: "Junior brother is different, he is a special case. What I said is all recorded in history books, but over the years, he is the only special case. Even my father can't figure out his situation, so he can't be used as a reference at all."

Mei Changsu retorted: "You also said that it was recorded in history books. Who knows what people who detoxified in the past would become?"

"Hey, do you really have to argue with me?" Lin Chen said anxiously.

Zhou Chen didn't say anything. He knew it best. What Lin Chen said was the truth. It was just that he had a system, so he was special.

But he also understood why Mei Changsu wanted to refute. He simply didn't want everyone to worry about him, so he didn't say anything.

Lin Chen ignored Mei Changsu and said to Xia Dong and Nie Feng, "Choose the first solution or the second solution. This is up to you to decide. Once you have decided, I can start preparing. But no matter which solution you choose, it will take a long time to heal, so you must be prepared."

Mei Changsu interrupted and said, "Xiaochen has already mastered the Pure Yang Technique. With his help, you will be able to relax a lot."

Lin Chen said angrily: "I know what to do, I don't need you to teach me. Both of you are bad people. You just know how to torment me all day long. Do you know what I have been suffering these days? Watching others show their affection every day..."

"Cough, cough, cough."

Zhou Chen quickly coughed to interrupt Lin Chen's chatter and glared at him fiercely. This guy really told everything and his mouth was too big.

"You guys can discuss it slowly. I'm going back first. I've been wandering around looking for someone these days. I'm exhausted. I'm leaving now."

Watching Zhou Chen leave, Lin Chen's eyes rolled back. He was indeed exhausted, but he didn't know what kind of tiredness he felt.

Zhou Chen hurried back to his mansion. When he walked into the gate, he clearly felt that Butler Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that his mother must have been worried during the twenty days he had been missing. Now that he had returned safely, Steward Lu would probably come over to report to him soon.

When I got home, Gong Yu had not come back yet. It was not until the end of the Chen hour that Gong Yu came back. She was very happy to see Zhou Chen come back.

At three quarters past midnight, Zhou Chen and Gong Yu fell asleep in each other's arms.

"Sir, we recently found out that a batch of black fire of unknown origin was transported to the capital. Mr. Thirteen and everyone else are very worried, but we haven't found any results yet."

Hearing about this, Zhou Chen immediately remembered the plot in the TV series. This batch of black fire should have been caused by Marquis Yan, and his purpose was to blow up Emperor Liang during the year-end festival.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen admired Yan Hou Yan Que very much, because Yan Hou's ideas and practices were somewhat consistent with his. If it were not for the system task requirements, he might be as extreme as Yan Hou.

Being ruthless can be summed up in one sentence: don’t compare, just do it!

"I guessed who transported this batch of black fire. Tell Mr. Thirteen tomorrow. You don't have to worry about this matter. Xiao Shu and I will take care of it."

After hearing this, Gong Yu was no longer worried. She had a mysterious trust in Zhou Chen. As long as Zhou Chen said there was no problem, she would believe it.

"Sir, New Year's Eve is just a few days away. Shall we celebrate it at home?"

Zhou Chen said: "It's New Year's Eve. You will come with me to the Su Mansion to celebrate."

"Is it okay?"

"Of course it doesn't matter. You are my woman, so of course you have to be with me on New Year's Eve."

"Well, wherever the young master is, there I will be."

Gong Yu showed a happy smile on her face. This year would be the first time for her to celebrate New Year's Eve and Spring Festival with Zhou Chen, and as Zhou Chen's woman, this feeling of happiness came from the heart.

The next day, Zhou Chen came to the Su Mansion and told Mei Changsu about the black fire. Mei Changsu's answer surprised and not surprised him.

"It was Gong Yu who told you, right? I have already investigated and guessed a person."

"Lord Yan?"

Mei Changsu looked at Zhou Chen in surprise: "How did you guess that?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "If we talk about who in the capital wants Emperor Liang to die the most, you are definitely not one of them, but Lord Yan is definitely one of them, and he is at the top of the list. And he happens to have the ability and time. I know that the year-end festival will be held at the Taoist temple where Lord Yan practices Taoism, so he is the most likely candidate."

Mei Changsu said: "You are right, but I thought of Lord Yan based on the Queen's illness and the tangerines Yu Jin gave me. We have the same idea, so it seems that Lord Yan must be the one."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to Yan's Mansion. Do you want to come with me?"

"No, I'd better go find Lin Chen."

"That's fine. Lin Chen is currently thinking of a treatment plan for Brother Nie. You can go over and help."

Chapter 839 Hurting each other, New Year's Eve

Nie Feng lived in a villa next to Mei Changsu. When Zhou Chen came, Xia Dong was also there, and even Mu Nihuang was here.

Lin Chen was examining Nie Feng's body, and he was also taking notes from time to time, appearing to be very busy.

Although Nie Feng chose the second solution, which does not require thorough skinning and bone grinding, special methods are still needed to remove toxins. However, it is impossible to completely remove toxins from the body like skinning and bone grinding. It is more about removing a part of it, and keeping the remaining toxicity under control.

It sounds simple, but it is not easy to do. It requires understanding Nie Feng’s current physical condition, and then matching medicinal materials and formulating a treatment plan.

After Zhou Chen came in, Lin Chen had no time to talk to him. Xia Dong was fully focused on Nie Feng and just nodded to Zhou Chen, then listened to Lin Chen carefully.

Instead, Mu Nihuang stood up, walked to Zhou Chen's side, and said, "They are busy, let's go out and talk."

"Okay." Zhou Chen did not refuse.

Xia Dong turned around and looked at Zhou Chen and Mu Nihuang who walked out of the room, and couldn't help but sigh.

Zhou Chen and Mu Nihuang did not walk far, but came to the yard outside the house and stood under a transplanted plum tree.

"I finally understand what you meant by what you said two years ago."

After a long silence, Mu Nihuang suddenly spoke first.

Zhou Chen didn't understand, and asked in confusion: "What did you say?"

Mu Nihuang glanced at Zhou Chen indifferently, and Zhou Chen clearly felt that there was dissatisfaction in her eyes.

"It was you who didn't finish your sentence. I asked you to give me a reason to make me give up. I didn't understand the half sentence you blurted out before, but now I understand. Gong Yu was not the first reason why you rejected me. The biggest reason was Brother Lin Shu. What you wanted to say was that you couldn't let Xiao Shu down, right?"

Zhou Chen remained silent. He did remember this incident. Just as Mu Nihuang guessed, his first reaction was to think of Lin Shu, but then he realized his mistake and changed it to Gong Yu.

In fact, he and Gong Yu were not together at that time, and he had not even confessed his feelings. It was more of an excuse to reject Mu Nihuang.

When Mu Nihuang saw that Zhou Chen didn't say anything, she knew what was going on and her expression became bitter.

"Xiao Shu..."

"Don't worry, I, Mu Nihuang, keep my word. I will never be like some people who would just run away. In the future, I will do my best to help Brother Lin Shu fulfill his wish. This is what I owe Brother Lin Shu. As for my feelings, I make my own decisions and don't need others to tell me what to do."

Zhou Chen understood what she meant and said slowly: "I understand."

Mu Nihuang had a cold expression, but she felt unhappy in her heart. When she was a child, she loved playing with Lin Shu the most, and she never rejected their engagement.

But twelve years have passed. She still has feelings for Lin Shu, but she is more immersed in the emotions of the past. Too many things have happened in these twelve years, which have changed everyone.

So after meeting Lin Shu, she was extremely happy, but her feelings for Lin Shu were no longer as strong as when she was a child.

"The Fire and Cold Poison is so magical that it can actually turn you and Brother Lin Shu into what you are now, as if your bodies were swapped."

She was naturally acquainted with Zhou Chen from twelve years ago, and because of Lin Shu, they met often, so she knew Zhou Chen's previous situation very well.

If Lin Shu was the most dazzling one in Jinling before, then Zhou Chen was an inconspicuous one. If he didn't have a good background, it would be difficult for him to integrate into their circle.

In the past, Lin Shu was a martial arts genius and was strong and healthy, but now he is so weak that he is not even as good as an ordinary person.

On the contrary, Zhou Chen, who was a previously inconspicuous person, has now become a martial arts genius and is also listed on the Langya Masters List.

This huge contrast made Mu Nihuang sigh.

Zhou Chen said: "Lin Chen is right. In fact, I am an exception. The fire and cold poison is the most bizarre poison in the world. It is not so easy to cure."

Mu Nihuang wanted to ask a few questions out of concern, but after opening her mouth, no words came out in the end.

For a moment, neither of them knew what to say and the atmosphere was a little awkward, until Lin Chen inside called Zhou Chen over.

Inside the house, Lin Chen said to Zhou Chen, "I have discussed this with General Nie and Lord Xia. In two days it will be New Year's Eve, a day for the whole family to rejoice. We will not spend time and energy on detoxification. We can slowly detoxify after the New Year. What do you think?"

Zhou Chen said: "Of course I have no objection. This is the first New Year's Eve and Spring Festival for Brother Nie and Sister Dong after twelve years. It is really not suitable to spend it in a medicine barrel."

"Okay, then it's settled. I'll be here for the New Year this year. After the fifth day, we'll start on the day you decide."

Lin Chen clapped his hands and made his decision, then said to Zhou Chen: "You will have to contribute when the time comes. Your medical skills and Pure Yang Technique will come in handy."

Zhou Chen said impatiently: "Okay, you've said it so many times, aren't you annoying?"

"You think I'm annoying? Do you know how much effort I put into detoxifying you? I'm your savior, and you still say I'm annoying?" Lin Chen pointed at Zhou Chen's nose and cursed.

Zhou Chen felt helpless: "Can you please stop talking about the past? Besides, it was Master who saved us back then, and you were just helping him."

For some reason, he always said not to bother with Lin Chen, but every time he heard Lin Chen chattering, he couldn't help but want to argue with him, as if he was cursed.

"As expected of a man, he is ruthless and ruthless, isn't he, Princess?"

Lin Chen suddenly nodded at Mu Nihuang, and Mu Nihuang nodded accordingly. But when she realized what was going on, she was confused. Why was I nodding?

Zhou Chen was even more speechless: "I am annoyed, I am annoyed, okay? Since you are not going to treat it now, then it's just right, Xiao Shu is out, Sister Dong, are you busy?"

Xia Dong didn't understand what Zhou Chen meant, but still said, "Not busy, what's wrong?"

"If you're not busy, there's just enough people to play two cards?"

Xia Dong's eyes lit up, and he answered without hesitation: "Okay, Nihuang, what about you?"

Ever since she won money at Zhou Chen's house, she has become very enthusiastic about playing mahjong, and occasionally she would look for Mu Nihuang to play a few cards with four people.

Mu Nihuang said: "I don't have anything to do, it's ok."

Lin Chen was confused and asked anxiously, "What are you talking about? What are you talking about? What do you mean by shuffling two cards?"

"Play majiang."

"Is it the Mahjong that was spread a few days ago?"

Lin Chen looked surprised. When he was traveling before, he had heard some traveling merchants talk about mahjong, but he had never seen it in person.
