Su Chen had finished breakfast and was originally planning to go to the group, but Lin Ruoxue insisted that he should stay at ho to rest.
Thinking about it, Su Chen felt it was a good idea, as this would allow for faster recovery from his injuries, so he agreed and went into the room to begin his cultivation practice.
That evening, when Lin Ruoxue returned ho from work, she hurriedly asked Su Chen to check on her injuries again.
What shocked her imnsely was that the horrifying wounds on Su Chen's body seed to have healed by seventy to eighty percent.
She couldn't help but feel amazed. This was too miraculous! Not even the most advanced dical techniques in the world could heal so quickly!
"How is it, wife? Now you know, your husband's title as Ghost Doctor isn't just for show!"
Su Chen said with feigned pride.
Having heard his words, Lin Ruoxue actually nodded in agreent this ti, because the proof was right there!
Little did she know that this was entirely due to the miraculous effects of Su Chen's cultivation technique.
Of course, even if Su Chen told Lin Ruoxue the truth, she probably wouldn't believe it and might even think he was crazy.
Nevertheless, Lin Ruoxue's heart, which had been in suspense, was finally able to relax quite a bit...
"Oh, wife, there's sothing I need to tell you. The Clown is leaving tomorrow."
Su Chen suddenly ntioned casually.
Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
Actually, when Su Chen returned ho the previous night, he had already t with the Clown at the door, since the Clown had been ensuring Lin Ruoxue's safety all this ti.
The Clown, of course, was different from Lin Ruoxue. He imdiately noticed that these injuries were caused by a bomb and was sowhat astonished as to what the Hall Master had been doing this ti to have sustained such serious injuries.
However, Su Chen didn't say anything, and the Clown didn't ask either. Although the two were brothers, Su Chen was, after all, the Hall Master, and that was a basic rule!
Now that Su Chen had returned, the Clown could naturally go back. However, before leaving, the Clown ntioned that he would return to the Temple tomorrow.
But Su Chen was quite puzzled. Wasn't the Clown hitting it off with that flight attendant Han Xiao? Why was he returning so soon?
The answer the Clown gave left Su Chen at a loss for words.
Because Eniel was coming!
"Oh my, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Lin Ruoxue couldn't help complaining.
"What's the matter?"
Su Chen was also sowhat puzzled.
"What do you an, what's the matter?"
Lin Ruoxue rolled her eyes:
"He's leaving, shouldn't we give him a farewell dinner?"
"Is that necessary?!"
Su Chen knew the relationship he had with the Clown; there was no need for such formalities.
But in Lin Ruoxue's eyes, it was seen differently; she felt it would be very rude not to do so.
"What do you an not necessary? Call him now and invite the Clown to dinner. It's not yet seven o'clock, not too late. Maybe he hasn't had dinner yet."
"Isn't that too troubleso? Let's not do that."
"Are you going to call or not?"
"I'll call."
Left with no choice, Su Chen reluctantly made a call to the Clown, inviting him for dinner, and inquiring if he had already eaten.
In fact, the Clown was in the midst of having dinner, but upon hearing that the Hall Master was inviting him, he quickly said he hadn't eaten yet. After all, this was an invitation from the Hall Master, a rare opportunity!
Although it was a last-minute affair, Lin Ruoxue ticulously chose the restaurant— Li Yun Xuan, a very unique dining place located in the city center's square.
Lin Ruoxue had been there once before to accompany clients for a al and thought the ambience was quite nice.
As the hosts inviting guests, Lin Ruoxue and Su Chen naturally arrived first and then ordered food and drinks.
It wasn't long before the clown ca in as well, and he imdiately spotted them and made a beeline over.
"Boss, why the formality, inviting to dinner out of the blue!"
The clown spoke with a touch of pleasantly surprised appreciation.
"Cut it out, I wouldn't bother inviting you; it was your sister-in-law who insisted on giving you a proper send-off when she heard you were leaving."
Su Chen said disdainfully.
"Sister-in-law, thank you so much!"
The clown quickly turned to Lin Ruoxue and expressed his thanks. He had been wondering when the Hall Master ever got so sentintal—it was the sister-in-law's idea, which made perfect sense to him.
Despite his initial confusion, he felt genuinely moved and was becoming more accepting of Lin Ruoxue as his sister-in-law.
Honestly, at first, the clown had so resistance towards Lin Ruoxue. After all, what was the status of the Hall Master? And apart from being pretty, what else did you have?
Didn't you see Eniel, the Royal Princess, still waiting earnestly? And she's not less attractive than you!
It could be said that the clown's initial respect for Lin Ruoxue was solely because of Su Chen. If it had been soone else, he would have treated them the sa.
But after interacting with her, especially during these recent days when he was responsible for her protection, the clown gradually changed his attitude.
He discovered that Lin Ruoxue was indeed an independent, smart, and strong woman who truly loved the Hall Master. During the days the Hall Master was away, the clown could clearly feel that she was distracted and lost in thought, yet despite this, she remained strong.
In summary, in the clown's current view, Lin Ruoxue was a woman worthy of admiration, perhaps truly suited for the Hall Master!
"Why so formal, brother Clown? You deserve all of this."
Lin Ruoxue obviously wanted to do well as the hostess in front of Su Chen's brothers.
"Sister-in-law, I ca in a hurry this ti and didn't bring anything really good. Please, accept this modest gift,"
The clown passed an exquisite box to Lin Ruoxue. Just from the box alone, one could tell that the contents were not ordinary.
"Sister-in-law, I was planning on giving you the gift right before I left, but why not take it now?"
"Thank you, brother Clown."
Lin Ruoxue happily accepted the box, not because she cared for the gift itself—after all, she was in control of such a large enterprise and was no stranger to fine things. Her delight stemd entirely from the fact that the gift ca from Su Chen's brother, which signified recognition of her.
"Wife, open it and see; if you're not satisfied, we'll have him pick sothing else next ti."
Su Chen said casually.
"What are you talking about? It's the thought that counts, don't you understand?"
Lin Ruoxue spoke as she opened the exquisite box to find a burgundy diamond necklace. Surrounding the burgundy diamond were crystals set into the piece, and the chain was slightly thinner than your typical diamond necklace.
At first glance, Lin Ruoxue didn't think much of the burgundy diamond necklace, but the more she looked at it, the more familiar it felt, as if she had seen it sowhere before.
Seeing the necklace, Su Chen cast an inadvertent glance at the clown, surprised that he had brought out such an item.
"This, is this the Hope Diamond?"
Suddenly, a bolt of realization struck Lin Ruoxue, and she rembered where she had seen it—in a magazine.
Lin Ruoxue's eyes widened with incredulity as she asked.
"Sister-in-law indeed has an exceptional perception; yes, this is the Hope Diamond,"
The clown praised her.
"Really, is it really so!"
Lin Ruoxue felt as if she were in a dream, hardly believing it was real.
After all, it was the Hope Diamond!
Legend had it that whoever possessed this diamond would enjoy the favor of the Goddess of Fortune.
Its forr owners included two of the world's richest n and four heads of state; the last rumored owner was said to be the President of Arica.
It could be said, countless formidable figures in the world desperately wished to get their hands on this diamond of luck!
