Divine War Pill Emperor

"Alright, Jiang Chen. Whether it’s true or not, I’ve decided to give it a try."

"I’ll have to trouble you, then."

The way Master Tian Mu looked at Jiang Chen now was completely different.

Jiang Chen’s composure, that kind of bearing, was something an ordinary person could never possess.

Besides, he already had his own suspicions about this wedding.

No matter what, he had to test it. If someone had really tampered with things, he could take precautions in advance.

With a heavy heart, Master Tian Mu hurried off to find Murong Xiangming.

Although Murong Xiangming had been unwilling to see anyone recently, Master Tian Mu was the Pavilion Master, after all, so she couldn’t avoid meeting him.

"Pavilion Master Tian Mu, how are the preparations for my wedding coming along?"

The moment they met, Murong Xiangming was the first to speak, asking about the wedding.

This situation only made Master Tian Mu’s suspicions grow stronger.

A person who had previously rejected the Qin Family was suddenly so enthusiastic about the wedding. Her attitude was a complete reversal of what it was before.

He pondered for a moment.

He said to Murong Xiangming, "Young Miss, the wedding preparations are almost complete. We still have three days, so there’s no rush."

"Come with me. I’m taking you to meet someone."

No matter what, he had to take Murong Xiangming to see Jiang Chen.

He did wonder if Jiang Chen might have feelings for their Young Miss.

But the matter was too important; this was not the time to worry about such trivial things.

Murong Xiangming frowned, her face taking on an even colder expression than usual.

She said indifferently, "I already said I’m not seeing anyone for the next few days."

"We can talk after my wedding."

"I still need to prepare my gown."

She rejected Master Tian Mu outright. It seemed only Qin Lie could stir her heart now; she didn’t want to see anyone else.

But Master Tian Mu steeled himself and paid no mind to the Young Miss’s temper. He was responsible for Murong Xiangming’s well-being.

Of course, the biggest headache was that none of Murong Xiangming’s relatives had appeared, so all the pressure was on him.

If something went terribly wrong, he would bear the most responsibility.

He cast aside all other considerations this time.

He said gravely, "Young Miss, you must meet this person. If you don’t, this wedding might not be able to happen."

To persuade the Young Miss, Master Tian Mu came up with a novel idea, playing a little trick.

He used the very thing Murong Xiangming currently cared about most to sway her.

Sure enough, Murong Xiangming was taken aback, seeming to grasp the severity of the situation.

Not meeting one person could actually prevent the wedding from happening.

Finally, she said coldly, "Fine. I’ll see them."

"Let’s go now."

At this moment, Murong Xiangming was already dressed in a bright red wedding gown, preparing for the wedding ahead of time.

It was clear she was deeply invested in the wedding.

Master Tian Mu immediately led Murong Xiangming straight to a reception room.

He even had someone arrange a reception room on the fifth floor of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

The fifth floor was more private; ordinary people weren’t allowed up there.

Even very important guests were usually accommodated on the third or fourth floor.

At this moment, Jiang Chen was also waiting in the reception room on the fifth floor.

His brows were slightly furrowed.

He was thinking about his own affairs.

"Hmm?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Suddenly, the door to the reception room was pushed open, and Master Tian Mu walked in with Murong Xiangming.

"Jiang Chen, it’s you?"

Murong Xiangming hadn’t expected that the person who could stop her wedding would actually be Jiang Chen.

When she saw Jiang Chen, her expression became incredibly cold.

If she had seen Jiang Chen in the past, she would have been delighted to chat with him.

She would have even been eager for him to talk with her more.

But now, her expression was exceptionally cold, and she even seemed to feel some aversion toward him.

The Heart-Tugging Powder wasn’t technically a poison, just something that confused the mind.

But it could only be classified as a poison.

Yet it left Murong Xiangming, a Martial King Expert, completely unable to resist it.

"Miss Murong."

Jiang Chen stood up and smiled at Murong Xiangming.

It was his way of greeting her.

His eyes, however, were fixed on Murong Xiangming without a moment’s pause.

If Murong Xiangming had indeed been poisoned by the Heart-Tugging Powder, he would be able to tell just from her appearance.

But Murong Xiangming was exceptionally cold, showing no expression at all.

This, in turn, made it impossible for him to tell.

Master Tian Mu kept shooting glances at Jiang Chen, trying to get him to come up with a solution.

Jiang Chen nodded discreetly. He had already made some preparations.

However, he couldn’t be too rash. He had to proceed one step at a time.

Judging by Murong Xiangming’s behavior, she was certainly acting abnormally.

"Jiang Chen, didn’t I say I’m not seeing anyone for now? Why did you insist on seeing me?"

"As for your business, I’ll talk to you after my wedding."

"I won’t short you on your payment."

She spoke to Jiang Chen with extremely cold words, even tinged with anger.

Dissatisfaction was clear in her eyes.

But Jiang Chen just smiled and said, "My business isn’t urgent."

"Miss Murong, please sit. I have something to discuss. Let’s sit and talk."

Seeing this, Master Tian Mu immediately played along with Jiang Chen.

He said to Murong Xiangming, "Young Miss, since Jiang Chen is here, why don’t we sit and talk, see what he has to say."

"I’m also very curious about Jiang Chen."

In the end, Murong Xiangming seemed unable to refuse and sat down, somewhat irritated.

She asked icily, "Jiang Chen, if you have something to say, say it now."

"I need to prepare for my wedding. Time is short, and I don’t have the luxury of listening to you ramble on."

"I hope you’ll be quick."

Jiang Chen nodded. With a flip of his hand, a porcelain vial appeared.

Both Master Tian Mu and Murong Xiangming were curious as they looked at the vial.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly. "It’s like this. Last time, I took some materials from you and refined a Beauty Potion. If used together with the Youthful Appearance Pill I gave you before, it will greatly enhance the Pill’s effects and duration. I made a special trip to deliver it to you."

"You see, you’re about to get married. You should be a beautiful bride."

Master Tian Mu was suddenly stunned.

’Weren’t you trying to find a way to save my Young Miss?’

’Why are you suddenly giving her a Beauty Potion?’

He was a bit dumbfounded and looked at Jiang Chen in confusion.

But Jiang Chen paid no attention to Master Tian Mu and handed the porcelain vial to Murong Xiangming.

Sure enough, Murong Xiangming remembered that after using the Youthful Appearance Pill Jiang Chen had given her last time, her face had indeed become more beautiful and her skin better.

She hadn’t expected Jiang Chen to bring a Beauty Potion this time. She knew that what Jiang Chen said must be true.

Especially before she was to be married, it would be best if she could become even more beautiful for her wedding.

"Thank you."

For a rare moment, Murong Xiangming thanked Jiang Chen.

It was unlike her previous coldness.

It was clear that as long as it concerned beauty, she was still able to accept it happily.

Jiang Chen smiled. "You’re welcome. If you’ve used the Youthful Appearance Pill, you should take this right away. This kind of Beauty Potion doesn’t have a long shelf life."

"It’s best to take it immediately, as I brought it to you right after I refined it."
