surge of Essence Energy from the jade pendant and his gaze rested upon it, stirring a slight excitement within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Sister Xia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This jade pendant must be very expensive, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Bai picked up the jade pendant, gently fiddling with it in his hand, feeling the familiar Essence Energy swirling around in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for Xia Chenyu being right beside him, Fang Bai would have already sat down cross-legged, circulating his Cultivation Technique, impatient to absorb the Essence Energy from the pendant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not too expensive, just several hundred thousand yuan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Xia Chenyu could not compete with those billionaire tycoons on the Huaxia rich list, as a company CEO with a net worth of several hundred million, a few hundred thousand yuan really was not much to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This jade pendant is also my way of thanking you, you must accept it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Chenyu seemed to genuinely treat Fang Bai as a friend, and said earnestly, “While I’m not extremely wealthy, I do have a bit of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you ever need money, just ask…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and don’t be polite with your sister!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Bai had a good grasp of Xia Chenyu’s personality and knew that she would be unhappy if he refused her gift of the jade pendant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So after a brief hesitation, Fang Bai accepted the pendant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Fang Bai put away the pendant, Xia Chenyu was delighted and couldn’t help but drink a few more glasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Xia Chenyu stood up to leave the Plum Blossom Hall and head to the restroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chenyu, what are you doing here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xia Chenyu was bending down adjusting her skirt after walking out of the restroom, an unexpectedly magnetic male voice rang in her ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man speaking was around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, dressed in a white suit, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, with his hair neatly combed, handsome features, and a graceful demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exuded a refined elegance that matched the image of Prince Charming that many women dreamed of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Chenyu’s lips initially carried a hint of a smile, but the smile faded and her face turned frosty when she looked up and saw the man in the white suit, and her gaze grew cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chenyu, dad misses you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I came to Zhongzhou for two reasons: one is to negotiate a deal on behalf of the family, and the other is with dad’s wishes to come and see you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in the white suit looked joyous as he stared at his half-sister with warmth, saying, “Chenyu, no matter what, the blood of the Shen Family flows within you, and the fact that you are a member of the Shen Family cannot be changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Aunt Xia passed away, dad couldn’t bear to see you alone and adrift, and he hopes you will acknowledge your ancestry and return to the Shen family…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shen Huanian, you and Shen Dongyang are equally hypocritical, and I find it disgusting!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Chenyu’s lips curled into a sneer and she replied coldly, “Besides, my surname is Xia, not Shen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have nothing to do with your Shen Family!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chenyu, how can you speak like that about dad?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shadow flickered in Shen Huanian’s eyes, followed by a soft sigh, “I know, because of Aunt Xia, you have a deep misunderstanding about dad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, when dad had you and your mother leave the Shen Family, he had no other choice…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough, put away your fake expression, I’m not interested in your explanations!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, I have nothing to do with your Shen Family, and I hope you won’t disturb my life again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A good dog doesn’t block the path, please step aside!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Chenyu spoke coldly and walked expressionlessly past Shen Huanian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Huanian watched the graceful figure of Xia Chenyu enter the Plum Blossom Hall, his expression darkened for a moment before he laughed mockingly and entered the Fortune Hall across the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister Xia, did you come across something upsetting?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Chenyu returned to the “Plum Blossom Hall,” and Fang Bai glanced at her complexion, asking softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Bai’s Dragon-Tiger-Lion-Elephant Technique had reached the second layer, the “Accumulating Essence Realm,” and he could hear every rustle of wind and grass within three hundred meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had heard every word of the conversation between Xia Chenyu and Shen Huanian outside, clear as crystal, but it was inconvenient to let Xia Chenyu know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Bai possessed an astonishing memory, capable of firmly remembering anyone he had seen just once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he heard Shen Huanian’s voice, he immediately recognized the man as the one he had encountered at the Zhongzhou City Police Station – the one who was in a white suit, holding flowers in pursuit of Officer Tang Wenrou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Wenrou had then pulled Fang Bai in front of her as a shield, claiming he was her boyfriend, which resulted in an enraged Shen Huanian storming off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the conversation between Xia Chenyu and Shen Huanian, Fang Bai picked up some clues; it seemed that they were half-siblings sharing the same father, and Xia Chenyu appeared to harbor intense hatred for the Shen Family…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grudges and affections involved were beyond Fang Bai’s comprehension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I ran into an annoying person outside, heard some unpleasant things…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Bai, I’m feeling very troubled, will you drink with me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Chenyu sat down sullenly, picked up her glass, and looked at Fang Bai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However much you drink, I’ll join you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither of them spoke further, and they started clinking glasses and drinking, one round after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Bai could feel the pain and hatred in Xia Chenyu’s heart and knew she wanted to numb herself with alcohol, so he didn’t try to stop her; she drank a glass, and he matched her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how much Fang Bai drank, as long as he circulated his True Yuan quietly within, he could dissolve the alcohol and would never get drunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xia Chenyu was, after all, an ordinary person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite being able to hold her liquor, the flush on her cheeks and the haze in her eyes began to show signs of inebriation after she had downed a large amount of white wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The alcohol doesn’t intoxicate; the people intoxicate themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the seductive Xia Chenyu, Fang Bai felt he too was becoming slightly tipsy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the door to the “Plum Blossom Hall” was pushed open, and two men walked in side by side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both men were equally young and handsome, equally graceful and elegant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their clothing and the aura they exuded betrayed an elite status and position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difference lay in their attire: the man on the left was dressed in a white suit, donning gold-rimmed glasses and appeared gentle and refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man on the right, however, was clad in a black Chinese-style gown, his eyes sharp as an eagle, his stride bold and unrestrained, exuding a wild and unfettered demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the two handsome young men were four bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four bodyguards didn’t enter the “Plum Blossom Hall” but stood guard outside the door, their vigilant eyes sweeping the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All four bodyguards were over one meter eighty in height, robust and burly, with the Taiyang Acupoint at the sides of their temples slightly bulging – a sign recognized by insiders as that of skilled fighters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing motionless, they were like four unsheathed swords exuding a sharp and imposing air that created an invisible pressure, making it hard for others not to feel a sense of dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Bai knew that only masters who had taken lives and seen blood could emit such a presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And to be able to employ such bodyguards was ample proof that the two young and handsome men who had entered were of significant status and position.\u003C\u002Fp>",1343,"2026-06-10T05:14:13.093Z",1,"novelbin.me","1c7bf89c8440c26f70790f1d920d35ed1346712067d93d424dbb5417da62c7ca","urban-extraordinary-immortal-doctor-chapter-48","urban-extraordinary-immortal-doctor-chapter-46",2473,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-extraordinary-immortal-doctor-cover.jpg"]
