Chapter 197: Declining the Guest

"Thank you for your kindness, old man, but detoxification is just a piece of cake for me, no need for a thank you." Su Chen declined.

"My friend, please accept my gratitude, otherwise, even if you detoxify me, I will not be at ease." Old man Mu said firmly, it has always been others who owed their Mu family a favor, but their Mu family will never owe favors to others.

Su Chen thought for a moment and said, "Well, I will be very grateful for Mr. Mu's kindness."

"It's just that I can't think of any request now, so can you keep this request until I want to make it?"

Mr. Mu nodded without any hesitation and said, "Of course, Su Xiaoyou can keep this request and come to me when you think of it. As long as it is within the capacity of the Mu family, we will definitely do it."

"Thank you, Mr. Mu."

Su Chen smiled faintly, "Then, I will prescribe medicine for Mr. Mu now."

Su Chen's diagnosis and treatment was not complicated. He directly wrote a list with a bunch of medicinal materials and asked the Mu family to send someone to the medicine store to get the medicine.

After the medicine was brought back, it was directly boiled in water for Mr. Mu to drink. If nothing unexpected happened, the toxicity of Jiuxiao Powder in Mr. Mu's body could be completely eliminated in less than half a month.

After writing the prescription, Su Chen was about to leave: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Wait a minute, Su Xiaoyou!"

Grandpa Mu hurriedly said, "I wonder which faction Su Xiaoyou came from?"

Until now, they still don't know Su Chen's origins, and Grandpa Mu is indeed very curious. Su Chen is so young, but he has such a profound attainment in alchemy. Which faction will cultivate this genius?

If he is a genius from Anyang City, then why have they never heard of such a person in Anyang City before?

With Su Chen's attainments in alchemy, it is impossible for him to be unknown.

"I don't have any power yet. I just came to Anyang City today."

Su Chen smiled and said.

"I see."

Grandpa Mu was instantly relieved. It turned out that he had just come to Anyang City today. No wonder he had never heard of him before.

"I wonder if you are interested in joining the Mu family and becoming a guest alchemist of the Mu family?"

"Guest alchemist?"

Su Chen asked.

"That's right, Su Xiaoyou has a good attainment in alchemy and is fully qualified to become the guest alchemist of the Mu family."

Grandpa Mu's eyes were full of sincerity, "Moreover, you have done me a favor, and I also hope that you can stay in the Mu family so that I can have a chance to thank you."

"Grandpa, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't plan to become a guest alchemist of any force now."

Su Chen shook his head and declined. His pursuit in this life is martial arts. Although the title of guest alchemist is good, it will take up some time for martial arts practice, and he doesn't need that false name.

Grandpa Mu was disappointed when he heard this.

"Then, Su Xiaoyou and your friends should stay in the Mu family for a few more days, so that I can do my best to be a good host."

Grandpa Mu had to persuade him to stay.

Su Chen did not refuse again. If he just stayed for a few days, it would be no problem.

"Then, I'll bother you, old man."

Su Chen smiled.

"Master Su, I'll take you to where you live."

Mr. Mu Ba also smiled and extended his hand to make a gesture of invitation.

"Okay, you can go back too. You don't have to come to pay respects to me these days."

After Mr. Mu Ba and Su Chen left, Mr. Mu said to Mu Sanniang indifferently.

Mu Sanniang's face turned pale. She knew that Mr. Mu meant to let her go back to confinement and reflect for a while.

Although this may not mean that Mr. Mu completely despised her, it certainly means that Mr. Mu was very dissatisfied with her series of actions just now.

Because of Mr. Mu's status and position, even if he was dissatisfied with someone, he would not express it directly in anger. However, the way Mr. Mu took was more terrible than directly getting angry and scolding.

Because if Mu Sanniang did not go to pay respects to the old man during this period, then the whole Mu family would know that she, Mu Sanniang, had lost power in front of the old man.

The bigger the family, the more they flatter the powerful and trample the weak. Although the old man has nine children, the status of those who are in power and those who are out of power is completely different.

For example, the reason why Mr. Mu Ba can always call the shots outside and occupy a seat in the Mu family's top management all year round is because the old man has always liked Mr. Mu Ba and would give him face in everything.

And she, Mu Sanniang, finally won the old man's favor and thought she could use it to gain power, but she didn't expect that she would be beaten back to her original form by the old man.

Thinking of this, Mu Sanniang gritted her teeth. In her opinion, all this was caused by Su Chen, and she couldn't help but hate Su Chen in her heart.

...

Mr. Mu Ba was very concerned about Su Chen's residence. He helped Su Chen arrange a place to live very attentively. It was a very spacious yard with several rooms and a large garden, which seemed very quiet.

"Master Su, you and your friends can stay here peacefully for as long as you want. I believe that the longer you stay, the happier the old man will be." Mr. Mu smiled.

"Thank you, Mr. Mu." Su Chen smiled faintly.

However, he will definitely not stay here for too long, it is okay to settle down temporarily.

No matter how good the Mu family is, it is someone else's territory, and it is not as comfortable as your own territory after all.

"Master Su..."

Mr. Mu was about to say something, but was interrupted by Su Chen shaking his head, "Mr. Ba, don't call me Master, you can call me anything else."

"Then, I will call you Mr. Su."

Mr. Mu followed suit, "Mr. Su, I just heard you say that you just arrived in Anyang City today?"

"That's right."

Su Chen nodded and said.

"I wonder what Mr. Su is doing in Anyang City?"

Mr. Mu was a little curious.

"A friend introduced the Anyang Martial Arts Association to me, and I want to come and see it."

Su Chen smiled faintly.

"So Mr. Su is here to participate in the Anyang Martial Arts Conference."

Mr. Mu Ba suddenly realized that every Anyang Martial Arts Conference would attract many talents from other places to participate, and it seemed that Su Chen was one of them.

However, Mr. Mu Ba was still a little confused, because generally speaking, after learning to make alchemy, it is unlikely that a person will have the spare energy to practice martial arts, and vice versa.

Because both martial arts and alchemy will take up a lot of a person's time and energy, and very few people can do both. Those famous martial arts masters rarely heard of practicing alchemy.

And the same is true in reverse. Those famous alchemists rarely have strong martial arts.

As the saying goes, every profession has its own specialty. Those who can take care of both at the same time are rare.

In Mr. Mu Ba's mind, Su Chen is undoubtedly a genius in alchemy.

Therefore, when Su Chen said he wanted to participate in the Anyang Martial Arts Conference, Mr. Mu Ba was a little surprised.
