Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: Crisis Approaches for Chen Xuan, the King of Destiny!

Seeing her husband say this, Ouyang Jing immediately looked at Chen Xuan with a beaming smile.

"Chen Xuan, you can treat your Aunt to dinner tonight. Chat with your Uncle Long first; I have some business to attend to and need to head out."

Chen Xuan nodded. "Mmhmm, Big Sister, go ahead and attend to your business!"

"Hehe, Chen Xuan, it's not appropriate for you to still call me 'Big Sister' at a time like this. You should call me 'Aunt' instead!"

Hearing this, Chen Xuan gave a cheeky grin. "Isn't it because Aunt, you look so young and beautiful that I find it a bit hard to say?"

Ouyang Jing immediately covered her mouth and giggled softly.

"You, honestly, that mouth of yours is frighteningly sweet!"

"Alright, we'll get in touch tonight."

"I'm leaving now. You two chat."

With that, Ouyang Jing took her bag and left the ward.

After watching her leave, Chen Xuan said a few words to Long Zaitian and then left the hospital as well.

---On the way home, Chen Xuan's phone rang.

Picking up the phone and seeing the caller ID, Chen Xuan immediately frowned slightly.

"Nangong Muxue!"

"What does she want with me now?"

"Could it be that Liu Jiayun told her about me sleeping with her?"

"That's impossible, right?"

Nangong Muxue, 28 years old, is Feng Lingyu's Eldest Senior Sister. She currently manages the Nangong Family's industries in Yanjing.

Her family's industry and influence were significantly stronger than even Long Zaitian's Long family.

Based on the original book's plot, Chen Xuan knew that Nangong Muxue deeply doted on her junior brother, Feng Lingyu.

It could even be described as spoiling him!

And based on Chen Xuan's analysis of the novel's plot from his previous life, he felt that Nangong Muxue seemed to have some romantic feelings for her junior brother, Feng Lingyu.

It was only because she later saw more and more female confidantes around Feng Lingyu, and because she herself already had a husband, that she chose not to join his harem camp.

If Nangong Muxue were to find out now that he had occupied her junior brother's 'birthplace'...

Then, he would probably be killed by her directly.

With an apprehensive heart, Chen Xuan still answered the phone.

As soon as the call connected, a cold voice came from the other end.

"Chen Xuan, come over to my company for a bit."

After saying that, Nangong Muxue hung up the phone immediately.

Chen Xuan's brow furrowed slightly.

He really disliked Nangong Muxue's arrogant personality.

But since the current situation was that he was weaker than her, Chen Xuan didn't choose to throw a fit. Instead, he immediately drove to Nangong Muxue's company.

---Ten minutes later!

Chen Xuan walked into Nangong Muxue's CEO office.

Upon entering, he saw Nangong Muxue, who had a cold temperament, was extremely beautiful, and wore her hair short. She was sitting on a leather sofa, holding a stack of documents and reading them.

"Sister Xue, you were looking for me. Is something the matter?"

Chen Xuan walked to the opposite side of Nangong Muxue and asked her while feeling somewhat apprehensive.

If Nangong Muxue really knew that he had occupied Feng Lingyu's birthplace, he would have to be ready to summon the Twelve Guardians at any moment.

He couldn't just let himself be killed by Nangong Muxue like that, could he?

Waiting for death was not Chen Xuan's style.

However, Chen Xuan knew his current strength; he was definitely no match for Nangong Muxue.

But Nangong Muxue's next words made Chen Xuan breathe a sigh of relief.

Nangong Muxue said indifferently without even looking up, "You know about Qi Ming from the Qi Family, right?"

Qi Ming?

While feeling relieved, Chen Xuan immediately recalled memories of this person in his mind.

After a moment, Chen Xuan finally remembered who this person was.

Qi Ming, the eldest young master of a medium-sized family in Yanjing. His family's power was similar to Long Zaitian's Long family.

And this person had some friction with Feng Lingyu.

The reason was simple!

It was because Qi Ming had taken a fancy to Feng Lingyu's Sixth Senior Sister at a party and wanted to hit on her. Feng Lingyu's Sixth Senior Sister had absolutely no interest in him. Later, when Feng Lingyu found out about Qi Ming's persistent pestering, he went to give him a warning.

But how could a young master like Qi Ming be scared off by Feng Lingyu?

And then?

Later, seeing that Qi Ming was ungrateful and continued to pester his Sixth Senior Sister, Feng Lingyu beat him up once.

Since then, Qi Ming had held a grudge against Feng Lingyu.

Chen Xuan had also been present at the time.

"Sister Xue, I remember. Does Qi Ming have some scheme?"

"Or did he continue to harass Sister Lin? (Sister Lin = Feng Lingyu's Sixth Senior Sister, Lin Jiayin)"

However, after saying that, Chen Xuan frowned slightly, feeling that his latter guess was likely wrong.

Based on what he knew so far, Feng Lingyu's Sixth Senior Sister, Lin Jiayin, hadn't been in Yanjing during this period.

Sure enough!

A second later, Chen Xuan heard Nangong Muxue's cold voice.

"Neither!"

"Why don't you take a look at the information in here first?"

As she spoke, Nangong Muxue pulled a sheet from the stack of documents in her hand and tossed it directly onto the coffee table in front of Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan immediately picked it up and read it carefully.

But as he read, Chen Xuan began to frown.

The Children of Destiny are appearing already?

Is the struggle for the position of King of Destiny about to begin?

Child of Destiny is a very easy-to-understand term; it refers to those blessed with great luck and providence.

And the King of Destiny is naturally the one with the best luck among these forty-nine Children of Destiny.

To become the King of Destiny, it's not enough to just have the best luck right now!

One must constantly be on guard against other Children of Destiny to avoid being killed, sabotaged, or having their luck plundered by them.

Therefore, luck is something that can be plundered.

The struggle to become the King of Destiny is extremely cruel.

According to the original plot Chen Xuan had read, Feng Lingyu was the King of Destiny who fought his way out from among these forty-nine Children of Destiny.

However, after finishing the documents, Chen Xuan immediately felt something was wrong.

According to the plot he knew well, it wasn't time yet for the Children of Destiny to compete for the position of King of Destiny.

It should still be at least half a year away.

How could the struggle have already begun now?

Could it be that his transmigration had triggered some kind of butterfly effect?

The more Chen Xuan thought about it, the more likely it seemed!

Otherwise, it shouldn't be happening like this!

And Qi Ming was naturally one of these forty-nine Children of Destiny.

According to the original plot, Qi Ming was eventually killed by Feng Lingyu, who plundered his luck.

Putting these stray thoughts aside, Chen Xuan looked at Nangong Muxue and asked, "Sister Xue, do you mean you want me to get rid of this Qi Ming?"

"No! The matter of getting rid of him cannot be done by you."

"Otherwise, how would Ling Yu obtain his luck?"

Hearing this, Chen Xuan understood immediately.

"Then does Sister Xue mean you want me to go and cripple him?"

Nangong Muxue suddenly looked up and glanced at Chen Xuan with some surprise.

"Chen Xuan, you've certainly become a lot smarter."

"That's right. Tonight at ten o'clock, Qi Ming will go to the Shangri-La for a private meeting with his stepmother. At that time, you just go there and take some photos, then send them to me. You don't need to worry about anything else."

"You can handle this small matter, right?"

"If there are no experts following him, then it shouldn't be a big problem!"

Chen Xuan didn't say he could definitely do it, but instead left some room for error.

Nangong Muxue nodded. "Mm, the experts around him were all sent by his father to protect him."

"Since he's having a private meeting with his father's new lover, he probably won't bring any experts along—unless he wants his father to know that he's cuckolding him."

"Anyway, use your judgment. If it's impossible, don't alert him. Call me immediately, and I'll send experts over."
