The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

Sure enough, Yuan Wenwen didn't get far before He Wanyong caught her in two strides and killed her with a single palm strike.

After killing Yuan Wenwen, He Wanyong's posture became even more subservient. He knelt directly before Chen Dong. Having repeatedly used his True Qi, he was on the verge of collapsing.

"Please, sir, cure this old servant's poison. If you lend a hand, the entire He Family will recognize you as our master!"

Everyone stared, dumbfounded.

Who would have ever thought the arrogant, domineering He Family and the self-proclaimed supreme He Yama would kneel and beg someone like this?

Chen Dong simply shook his head.

Seeing this, the members of the He Family began to curse Chen Dong, calling him inhuman and heartless...

Chen Dong said calmly, "Looking at your entire He Family, aside from that little fatty, there isn't a single person worth saving."

There was nothing wrong with what Chen Dong said. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree; the members of the He Family were basically cut from the same cloth as He Wanyong. Perhaps the little fatty was just too young to have been corrupted.

He Wanyong's face turned ashen as purplish-blue veins began to creep across it.

He stood up, his eyes filled with hatred for Chen Dong. "You're even more despicable than that Kang brat! Even if I die, I'm taking you with me!"

With that, he stopped suppressing the poison. Celestial Spirit energy condensed around him, and his protective aura swelled, making him look like a divine being.

His body blurred into an afterimage as he charged at Chen Dong.

Chen Dong's eyes narrowed. True Qi erupted from his body as he threw a punch.

The two fists met. A tremendous BOOM erupted.

Chen Dong didn't move an inch, but He Wanyong was sent flying from the impact.

Everyone present gasped in shock!

'What? A Celestial Spirit Powerhouse was actually no match for him?'

Even for a heavily poisoned Celestial Spirit Powerhouse, that last strike wasn't something an ordinary Grandmaster could have blocked.

Not only did this young man block it, but he even sent He Wanyong flying.

Grandmaster Wang murmured, "Such a young talent... he has the bearing of a prodigy. And with those miraculous medical skills... it's a pity I don't have a granddaughter, or I'd be begging for a marriage arrangement."

The Grandmaster surnamed Qian standing beside him chuckled. "As it happens, I have a granddaughter as beautiful as a flower. She and a talent like him would complement each other perfectly."

"Bah! Give me a break! Your granddaughter looks like a pig! Good thing we didn't make a move against him earlier. We'd all be seriously injured right now if we had!"

Grandmaster Qian nodded, abashed. "You're right... There's always a new generation of geniuses on the rise!"

Grievously injured, He Wanyong's eyes were filled with terror. He no longer dared to attack Chen Dong and hastily circulated his True Qi to suppress the poison.

A murderous glint appeared in Chen Dong's eyes. "What's this? You want to kill me?"

He strolled forward, True Qi gathering at his fingertip.

Kang Ming hurriedly shouted, "Friend, can you leave this man to me?"

Chen Dong glanced up. "And why is that?"

Kang Ming took a deep breath. With bloodshot eyes, he said calmly, "Ten years ago, to take my older sister as his seventh concubine, that man forced my entire family of twenty-three to their deaths. He is the man I have a blood feud with. I want to kill him with my own hands!"

Chen Dong nodded. "He's all yours."

Then he called out to Qin Yun, who was hiding in the back, "Come on out. We're leaving!"

Only then did Qin Yun emerge, patting her chest in relief as she trotted over.

Chen Dong grabbed Li Jianwen with one hand and strode outside. No one dared to stand in his way.

'Chen Dong couldn't care less about what happened next; he was just feeling the sting of a missed opportunity.'

'Just how much money did the He Family have? And I just walked away from it all. That was a fortune for getting married! Look at that He Wanyong—he had sixteen wives. Even with higher standards, I could probably marry five or six with that kind of wealth!'

On the way back, Chen Dong rode in Qin Yun's car again. He had to; she still hadn't paid him.

Li Jianwen was in the car with them; he'd had his bodyguard drive his own car back.

Li Jianwen was also quite banged up. While he hadn't broken any bones, his face was black and blue.

The whole incident had caused him to completely lose face in front of Chen Dong, and he repeatedly begged Chen Dong not to tell anyone about it when they got back.

Chen Dong naturally agreed. If his father-in-law wanted to save face, he had to let him.

'When Qin Yun found out Chen Dong was married, she found it completely incredible. What kind of woman could possibly be a match for such an outstanding man?'

'And Chen Dong was younger than her, too. Married already?'

'At the same time, she felt a pang of disappointment. He was the first man she had ever "slept" with, even if nothing had actually happened.'

'She sighed to herself. If only she had met Chen Dong a little earlier, before he was married.'

The atmosphere in the car on the way back was a bit awkward. At first, Chen Dong and Li Jianwen exchanged a few sporadic words, but eventually, everyone fell silent.

As the car approached Jiangzhou, the silence was broken by a call to Qin Yun's phone.

As Qin Yun answered the call, her expression changed dramatically. A moment later, she burst into tears.

After hanging up, she asked Chen Dong, "Your medical skills... they're really good, aren't they?"

'Chen Dong's heart sank. 'Here we go again,' he thought. 'She hasn't even paid me for the last job, and now she's trying to rope me into another one!''

Chen Dong immediately shook his head in denial.

But to his surprise, Li Jianwen, who had been silent the whole time, chimed in enthusiastically, "Of course they are! Our Xiaodong's medical skills are unbelievably good! Exceptionally good! You've heard of Jiang Yao from Jiangzhou, right? He's not as good as our Xiaodong! And Xue Tianxiang from Jiangzhou? Not as good as our Xiaodong either..."

He was so busy singing his praises that he completely failed to notice the look on Chen Dong's face.

Seeing her savior, Qin Yun grabbed Chen Dong's arm. Tears streamed down her face as she pleaded, "I'm begging you, Chen Dong! You have to save my father!"

Chen Dong's face was impassive, even though the arm holding him was very soft. "The money? You haven't paid me for the last job yet."

Qin Yun replied with the utmost seriousness, "If you come with me and save my father, I swear I'll pay you!"
