“Esteed guest? Not at all, just a poor wretch.” Shi Chun didn’t shy away, pointing to his ragged appearance with a self-deprecating remark, then imdiately pointed at Bian Weikang, “Let him go!”
Feng Chi blinked, not taking the bait.
She gracefully stepped forward, walked up to Bian Weikang, and asked him, “An acquaintance of yours?”
Bian Weikang felt a little awkward. How was he supposed to know who this ragged person who suddenly appeared was? He certainly didn’t have such a character among his acquaintances.
However, seeing a glimr of hope, and since the person was clearly sticking up for him, he imdiately shouted to Shi Chun, “Please, Young Master, help ! I will repay you a hundredfold in the future.”
The reason he called him ‘Young Master’ was because he could tell the other party wasn’t very old.
Shi Chun ignored him, responding to Feng Chi, “Whether he’s an acquaintance or not isn’t important. What’s important is that you’re going too far.
You know full well his identity, and by humiliating him like this, you’re disgracing Wukang Mountain. I can’t stand to watch!”
He believed that Wukang Mountain would eventually learn about what happened here, so he naturally spoke up for them, hoping for a good future encounter.
Can’t stand to watch? Many people found it strange. Could this person be related to Wukang Mountain? Feng Chi smiled, also realizing that Bian Weikang didn’t know this person.
She imdiately waved her handkerchief. “Esteed guest, your words are too strong.
One thing is one thing; we wouldn’t dare drag Wukang Mountain into this. We haven’t pressured Young Master Bian in the slightest.
He brought this humiliation upon himself, and it has nothing to do with Wukang Mountain.
He wants to buy a girl from my tower, but he can’t produce the money.
Not only does he prevent others from buying her, but he also blocks my entrance, hindering my business. We had no choice but to ask him to step aside.
Esteed guest, please judge who is in the wrong?”
“Just give one more day, just one more day.” Bian Weikang eagerly interjected.
Then, rembering sothing, he quickly shouted to Shi Chun, “Young Master, could you lend fifty thousand Wood Gold for now? I will definitely repay double later.”
Shi Chun still ignored him, saying to Feng Chi, “I’ve already seen what happened.
Isn’t it just a matter of fifty thousand Wood Gold?”
As soon as he said this, Chasi, Old Dong, and Big Stone’s expressions all slightly changed.
And Shi Chun had already walked away from Feng Chi, moving to Bian Weikang.
He raised his hand and patted Bian Weikang’s shoulder, saying with an appreciative look, “What I, Shi, admire most are people like you, who are loyal and righteous. If everyone in this world were heartless, what aning would life have? Mutual affection is worth countless riches.
To abandon your dignity for your beloved, you are a true man, a real hero. Fifty thousand Wood Gold, I’ll lend it to you!”
Bian Weikang’s mouth trembled with excitent, tears instantly welling up.
That feeling of being abandoned by the whole world only to suddenly have soone reach out and pull him up was sothing others couldn’t understand. He was so moved that he couldn’t even utter a word of thanks.
Shi Chun had already turned back and shouted to Wu Jinliang, “Do you have fifty thousand Wood Gold?”
Wu Jinliang’s mouth was practically split to the back of his head, and he cheerfully responded, “Yes, just brought it over, still warm.”
Shi Chun: “Give it to them.”
Wu Jinliang slung his large blade over his shoulder, walked out with the box in one hand, and placed it with a clang on Bian Weikang’s chest. He waved his hand grandly, gesturing, “Count it.”
This was the first ti in his life he had been so generous, and he felt quite good about himself.
Chasi’s face was a bit green, and he was a little confused about what was going on.
It looked like Shi Chun was acting righteously, helping Wukang Mountain save face, and from the words exchanged, that disheveled young master seed to have a close relationship with Wukang Mountain. He was now a bit unsure whether he should intervene and recover the forty thousand.
However, on second thought, Wukang Mountain was a major sect known for refining talismans, a wealthy family. If the money wasn’t repaid, Wukang Mountain couldn’t afford to lose face either.
Besides, that young master just said he would repay double.
Considering this, he kept silent.
Old Dong and Big Stone, however, stared intently at Wu Jinliang’s words and actions. They might not know much else, but they knew Wu Jinliang.
Seeing soone of Wu Jinliang’s caliber casually toss out fifty thousand Wood Gold as if it were nothing, they increasingly realized there was more to this.
Shi Chun then turned and pointed at the two thugs restraining Bian Weikang.
“Why aren’t you letting him go? Dare to go back on your word, and believe it or not, I’ll smash your rice bowls!”
Those thugs’ rice bowls were Liyun Tower, aning he would smash Liyun Tower. Everyone couldn’t help but exchange glances.
Regardless of ti or place, openly causing such a scene in a large pleasure house, one must be capable of subduing a crowd of gentlen enjoying themselves, and definitely possess a certain background. Soone who dared to say such a thing in public was either ignorant or powerful.
Whether he was ignorant or not, the fact that he could casually toss out fifty thousand Wood Gold was real, and that was no ordinary person’s doing.
Fifty thousand Wood Gold was indeed no small sum, and coupled with his ragged clothes yet imnse confidence, and the presence of people from Far-Gazing Tower accompanying him, it was hard for Madam Feng Chi to misjudge him.
However, she was still extra cautious. She took a few steps forward and opened the box.
Imdiately, a stack of purple fla-like aura erged—a box full of real Sandalwood Gold. It wasn’t a bluff; he truly had this kind of wealth.
She imdiately gave a subtle nod to her subordinates.
The thugs restraining Bian Weikang imdiately released him.
Overjoyed, Bian Weikang was about to offer Shi Chun a deep bow of thanks, but Shi Chun quickly held him up. “Ah, it’s just a small favor, no need for such formality.
Let’s talk later; for now, take your beloved away first.”
Saying that, he turned back and questioned Feng Chi, “Madam, I’ve given you the money, where is Miss Xiang?”
“With the help of an esteed guest, it seems your fate with Lan’er truly is heaven-ordained.” Feng Chi smiled, teasing Bian Weikang, then nodded to her subordinate, “Bring Lan’er here.”
The subordinate imdiately nodded and left.
Since she had already displayed a rcenary attitude, Feng Chi no longer concealed it. With a flick of her handkerchief, she ordered her other subordinates to publicly count and verify the authenticity of the Wood Gold.
Guard against villains, not gentlen. Shi Chun also gave a subtle nod, and Old Dong and Big Stone imdiately stepped forward, watching the Liyun Tower people count, clearly guarding against any tricks from Liyun Tower.
The two had followed Shi Chun in East Nine Plains for many years and were accustod to working together seamlessly. If they couldn’t even understand such a simple glance from their Chief, then they had wasted their ti.
After carrying out the order, the two couldn’t help but exchange glances, understanding the aning in each other’s eyes—that damn old habit. We are now people of Far-Gazing Tower, respectable people, no longer mbers of the East Nine Plains gang who rob and plunder.
The two felt a little guilty; Chasi was watching. Was it appropriate for Far-Gazing Tower people to get involved in this? After a mont’s thought, it seed fine.
After a few exchanges of glances, they had a response: This involves Miss Miao’s money, so is it wrong for them to help keep an eye on it? This entire scene fell into Feng Chi’s eyes.
Far-Gazing Tower was a colossal presence in the cultivation world.
Except for the Underworld, which had been closed off for eight hundred years and had no contact with the outside world, Far-Gazing Tower’s business tentacles had reached almost every territory. How could there be simple tricks involved here? Her Liyun Tower had so prestige in Zhaotian City, but outside Zhaotian City, it was nothing.
Compared to Far-Gazing Tower, it was even more insignificant, even though they were all in business.
Being able to command people from Far-Gazing Tower with just a glance made her even more convinced that this raggedly dressed newcor was no ordinary person.
She imdiately smiled and leaned closer to inquire, “May I ask for the esteed young master’s na?”
Shi Chun calmly responded, “Shi Chun.”
‘Lusting for Spring’ (思春)? Feng Chi was montarily stunned.
After realizing, she thought he was teasing her, a brothel madam. However, as soone in her position, she knew when to get angry and when not to.
She imdiately smiled and replied, “Young Master is joking.”
Shi Chun had seen similar reactions many tis, and being quite sensitive, he imdiately knew she had misinterpreted it.
His face instantly darkened, and he no longer paid attention to her.
Having been rebuffed, Feng Chi awkwardly smiled and moved on.
Since the other party didn’t want to say, she wouldn’t ask. She would naturally find a way to inquire about it later.
“Xiang…” The person who ran into the small side room of Liyun Tower’s main hall was startled speechless upon seeing Xiang Lan’er looking as if she had been beaten. Seeing that she herself seed unfazed, he didn’t bother with further questions and conveyed the ssage, “Bian Weikang has gathered enough money to redeem you.
The Madam is calling you out.”
Xiang Lan’er humd in acknowledgnt.
She had also seen what happened while hiding there, and although she hadn’t clearly seen everything, she had guessed it.
After the ssenger retreated, she touched the whip marks on her body and face again, feeling as if they had been endured in vain.
She then walked back to the window to observe the situation outside. After composing herself, she gracefully walked out.
