848 My Plan is a Big Success

"You… What did you just call me?"

With the acting skill of an Oscar nominee, Chen Xiaobei asked in an old man's tone.

"Grandpa! I just call you my grandpa! I swear to god! From today onward, you are my dearest grandpa! I will definitely treat you with respect. Lightning will strike me if I plot against you!"

"Good! Very good!"

Nodding, Chen Xiaobei exclaimed in an excited manner, "This is my good grandson! I like this filial quality of yours! Don't you worry! I will definitely take good care of you! In no time, you will be completely healed!"

"Thank you grandpa! Thank you so much!"

*Bop!*

*Bop!*

*Bop!*

With a sincere look on his face, Zhuang Bifan could not help but keep on kowtowing toward Chen Xiaobei. Clearly, this new grandpa had a very special place in his heart. At the same time, Zhuang Lao Taijun was in good mood as well. Knowing that she managed to bring Chen Xiaobei into her family, she knew that he would eventually turn into the family's godly doctor that they could worship every day. By that time, the Zhuang Family would become even more powerful in Jianghu. Whether it was their allies or enemies, they would have to beg the Zhuang Family if they wanted to ask Chen Xiaobei to treat their illness.

Feeling excited, Zhuang Lao Taijun said, "Elder Wu! Now that Bifan is your grandson, I will hold a big party to let everyone know that Bifan got himself a great grandpa once he is completely recovered!"

"Okay. I don't really care about fame. My priority right now is to make sure that Bifan is healed!" said Chen Xiaobei in a serious manner.

Truth to be told, Chen Xiaobei really wanted to laugh out loud. Now, Zhuang Lao Taijun thought that her secret plan was perfectly executed. The moment Chen Xiaobei takes off his mask, she would definitely cough out a mouthful of blood.

"Right! Brother! You are right! Healing Bifan should be our priority!"

Not knowing that she had fallen into Chen Xiaobei's trap, she nodded at Chen Xiaobei and even started to call him his brother.

"Alright. After observing Bifan's current circumstance, I have decided to change his medication. I'm going to say it aloud and I want you to jot it down."

"110-year-old wild ginseng, three Qian! 270-year-old stone Ganoderma, seven Qian! 160-year-old…"

"My brother! Hold on! We have all the medical ingredients that you mention in our vault! But, how can we differentiate their age?"

Upon hearing that, Chen Xiaobei felt extremely excited. All the thing that Chen Xiaobei just mentioned were just ordinary medical ingredients. That was why he knew that the Zhuang Family had all of them in the vault.

"It's actually pretty easy to differentiate their age. All you need to do is to look for an expert to help you! Remember! You cannot afford to make any mistake! If not, you will miss the golden time frame to heal Bifan!" said Chen Xiaobei, seriously.

"Look for an expert? This…"

Fixing her gaze on Chen Xiaobei and Huangfu Mumin, she clearly knew that these two were her best options. However, the vault had always been the Zhuang Family's most secretive place. Other than Zhuang Lao Taijun and Zhuang, no one was allowed to step foot into it. Even Zhuang Bifan was no exception. That was why Huangfu Mumin was taken out of the consideration promptly. As for Chen Xiaobei, Zhuang Lao Taijun still had her doubts about him.

"Grandpa! I think you should be the one to go and check out the medical ingredients since we can't afford to make any mistakes! I want to be healed as soon as possible to marry my future wife!" said Zhuang Bifan.

"Your future wife?" asked Chen Xiaobei, taken aback.

"Yes! Her name is Lan Mengcheng! She is extremely beautiful and there was one elite Daoist who told me that she is going to bring prosperity to my life! Recently, I'm cursed with waves and waves of bad luck! I hope that I can change my fate by marrying her!" 

Upon hearing that, ice-cold murderous intent was reflected in Chen Xiaobei's eyes.

"I, too wish that you can be healed as soon as possible. However, I will never allow myself to step into the vault! I consider myself as an experienced person of Jianghu. A vault is equivalent to the lifeline of a faction or family! Losing that would mean losing everything! I'm just an outsider! I believe that not even the family members are allowed to enter the vault freely!"

Immediately, Zhuang Lao Taijun let her guard down when she heard that Chen Xiaobei refused to enter the vault. To her, Chen Xiaobei would not say that he was not allowed to enter the vault if he harbored ill-intentions. Instead, she had to come up with a response as soon as possible. If not, a barrier would be built between her and Chen Xiaobei which could affect their relationship severely.

Without wasting too much time, Zhuang Lao Taijun said, "Brother! You really shouldn't say that! It's true that the vault is really important to our family! However, I will never allow it to affect our relationship! You are after all Bifan's grandpa! In other words, you are now part of the family!"

"So, you now have full trust in me?" said Chen Xiaobei while looking at Zhuang Lao Taijun with his narrowed eyes.

"Like what you told me earlier, I shouldn't doubt you when I'm the one that need your help!"

Zhuang Lao Taijun then took out a key from her pocket.

"In order to prove my sincerity, I now decide to hand over the vault key to you! Take good care of it! From today onward, you are the godly doctor that we worship in this family! Brother, you are free to enter the vault whenever you want!"

Chen Xiaobei was elated when he heard the thing that Zhuang Lao Taijun just said. During the journey to look for the Black Star Ganoderma, Chen Xiaobei managed to make Zhuang Yuejin his chess piece in the Zhuang Family. After a long planning and perfect execution, Chen Xiaobei finally managed to win Zhuang Lao Taijun's heart. As long as the location of the vault was revealed to him, he would not hesitate to take possession of every single item in the vault!

"Grandpa! Why are you still hesitating? Please accept the key! I beg you! Just take it!" said Zhuang Bifan in a sincere manner.

"Brother! Please don't say no to me! Just keep the key. You will need to travel to the vault all the time to get the medical ingredients for Bifan! Having the key with you is definitely more convenient for you! Moreover, you are not part of the family! Saying no to me would mean you are still treating us like outsiders."

"Yes! Yes! Elder Wu! Just take it!" said Eunuch Su at the side.

Upon seeing that, Huangfu Mumin could feel jealousy gushing into his heart. As the most skillful alchemist in China, he did not even receive such premium treatment. Instead, a nobody like Chen Xiaobei got to enjoy all these privileges. That was definitely a critical hit to his status in Jianghu.

"Alright! For the sake of my dear grandson, I should not say no to you!"

"Great! This is incredible!"

Feeling ecstatic, Zhuang Lao Taijun placed the key into Chen Xiaobei's palm – fearing that he might change his mind suddenly. Holding the key in his hand, Chen Xiaobei was laughing wickedly in his mind. He was considering taking off his mask to shock Zhuang Lao Taijun greatly.

"Grandma! Something bad happened!"

Suddenly, Zhuang Hao marched into the room with two men walking beside him.
