Rebirth of Jinxuan
Chapter 36 Opening of the Clinic: Luo Jiarao
The crackling of firecrackers echoed through the streets, and a large crowd thronged the Renhe Pharmacy, creating a lively atmosphere. Red ribbons hung high, colorful flags fluttered, and the air was filled with the faint scent of medicine, all intertwined with the festive spirit. Wang Xiaoer, covered in sweat, was busy greeting guests who came to offer their congratulations while directing his employees to arrange the gifts. He was so busy he barely had time to breathe.
One after another, people from all walks of life in the town came to offer their congratulations, including wealthy merchants and ordinary citizens, making Renhe Pharmacy bustling with activity. Wang Xiaoer looked at the endless stream of people and was secretly delighted; it seemed the opening ceremony had been a great success. He wiped the sweat from his brow, thinking that it was finally almost over.
However, just when he thought everything was about to end smoothly, the crowd outside the pharmacy suddenly fell silent, and an inexplicable sense of oppression spread out. Wang Xiaoer's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously looked up, only to see a group of men dressed in black with long swords at their waists walking aggressively towards him.
"It's someone from the Luo family!" someone in the crowd whispered.
Wang Xiaoer's expression changed as he recognized the newcomers as Gao Jian, the head bodyguard of the Luo family, and his younger brother Gao Yuan. These two brothers were notorious ruthless characters in the city. Seeing this, Ai Xi, standing beside Mo Chenfan, flashed a cold glint in her eyes, her hand unconsciously tightening its grip on the sword at her waist, ready to step forward.
Mo Chenfan reacted quickly, grabbing Ai Xi and shaking his head slightly to signal him to calm down. He knew Ai Xi's temper; letting him rush out would likely cause a bigger conflict. He patted Wang Xiaoer on the shoulder, "Come on, let's go meet them."
Mo Chenfan, accompanied by Wang Xiaoer, went to greet them with a faint smile. "Head Nurse Gao, Brother Gao Yuan, what brings you two here today?"
The Gao brothers, Gao Jian and Gao Yuan, stopped in their tracks, their gazes sweeping over Mo Chenfan and Wang Xiaoer with a hint of disdain. The surrounding crowd discreetly parted to make way, watching from a distance, afraid of being drawn into the conflict.
Gao Jian sneered, "Young Master Mo, we brothers have come to congratulate you on the opening of your Renhe Pharmacy today." Although his tone was polite, his eyes were full of hostility. Gao Yuan stood aside, silent, only staring coldly at Mo Chenfan.
Mo Chenfan observed the two silently, secretly on guard, knowing that the Luo family's arrival was not well-intentioned...
Mo Chenfan smiled slightly and said calmly, "Nurse Gao, you're too kind. Please come in." He gestured for Gao Jian to enter, but Gao Jian did not move.
Gao Jian's gaze passed over Mo Chenfan and landed on Old Qian. His tone was laced with sarcasm. "Oh, isn't this Old Qian? What, you're practicing medicine here? Be careful not to get scammed. These days, any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to open a pharmacy."
Old Qian's face darkened, and he was about to retort when Mo Chenfan stopped him. Mo Chenfan stepped forward, blocking Old Qian's path, and looked directly at Gao Jian, "Head Nurse Gao, you should watch your words."
Gao Yuan chuckled sarcastically from the side, "What's wrong, Young Master Mo? Are you feeling sorry for Old Qian being scammed? Or are you afraid we've hit the nail on the head?"
Mo Chenfan's eyes turned cold. "Brother Gaoyuan, you're a guest, so I'll give you some face, but don't go too far."
Gao Jian snorted coldly, "Enough nonsense. We brothers are here today to teach you a lesson! Smash it!" At his command, the men in black behind him immediately drew their long knives and charged menacingly toward Renhe Pharmacy.
Wang Xiaoer's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly called for his men to defend themselves. Mo Chenfan also drew his sword and engaged the Luo family members in combat. His swordsmanship was fierce and deadly, and for a time, no one could get close to him. However, the Luo family members outnumbered him, and Wang Xiaoer and his men quickly found themselves at a disadvantage.
Ai Xi watched anxiously from the sidelines, wanting to help several times, but was stopped by Mo Chenfan's gaze. He knew that if Ai Xi intervened, it would mean a complete break with the Luo family, which was not the outcome he wanted. He had to find a way to buy time and wait for an opportunity.
The Gao brothers, Gao Jian and Gao Yuan, did not directly participate in the fight, but instead watched coldly from the sidelines. They had great confidence in their men and believed they would soon raze Renhe Pharmacy to the ground.
"Young Master Mo, let's see how long you can hold out!" Gao Jian said with a sinister grin.
While fending off the attacks from the men in black, Mo Chenfan surveyed his surroundings, his heart filled with anxiety. He knew that if things continued like this, Renhe Pharmacy would be smashed to pieces sooner or later.
Just then, as the Luo family guards were about to rush into the clinic, a gasp suddenly rang out from the crowd. "What is that?!"
Everyone looked up and saw a huge alchemy furnace that had appeared in mid-air at some unknown time. It was completely black and exuded an ancient aura. A powerful surge of spiritual energy emanated from the furnace, enveloping the entire street.
The brothers Gao Jian and Gao Yuan's expressions changed drastically, their eyes filled with shock and fear. They sensed the powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy, and a strange unease rose in their hearts.
"What...what is this?!" Gao Jian's voice trembled slightly.
Mo Chenfan was also stunned. He looked up at the alchemy furnace floating in mid-air, his heart filled with doubt. Where did this alchemy furnace come from?
A glint of light flashed in Ai Xi's eyes. He looked at the alchemy furnace in mid-air and muttered to himself, "Could it be..."
