Chapter 119: Chapter 119 Good News

"Just take it! It’s not for you, it’s to buy them some drinks!" Chu Feng glared, and Bloody Beard immediately dared not ramble on.

Benefits should be shared widely, not narrowly.

Although it’s possible to make Bloody Beard work without pay, deploying so many experts from the Blood Sword Gang definitely warrants a thousand taels for tea money. Otherwise, the next time they are called upon to run errands, even if they won’t refuse, they definitely won’t be as dedicated.

While a thousand silver taels is not a large sum, divided among them, each person could still pocket forty to fifty taels.

Since they only had to stand guard and did not actually engage in a fierce battle, to receive so much silver, smiles appeared on everyone’s faces.

Their gaze towards Chu Feng became even friendlier.

If outsiders saw this, they would find it hard to believe that these ruthless killers of the Blood Sword Gang could be so friendly to a young man like Chu Feng.

...

Chu Feng returned to the Sword King Mansion with the silver, happy and content. He was mainly worried that his sister-in-law would do something foolish.

He also had to be on guard against villains like those from Prince Liu Mansion coming to make trouble.

Bloody Beard was truly loyal to Chu Feng; he even set up a temporary branch nearby the Sword King Mansion and arranged for experts to guard around the clock. Should any foolish curs dare to make trouble at the Sword King Mansion, the experts from the Blood Sword Gang would immediately come out to kill.

"Third Highness, you’re back!" Chu Danzi greeted him like an enthusiastic dog, opening the gate and welcoming him in.

Chu Feng glanced at the dilapidated gate and slightly furrowed his brow.

It was damaged by Liu Kui and his men last time.

Later, since Liu Kui had gone to meet King Yan, Chu Feng did not bother to seek compensation. As the Sword King Mansion was too poor, they merely repaired and continued using the gate.

"Chu Danzi, find someone to make a new gate! Take this one thousand silver taels first; refund if too much, supplement if too little!"

"Remember, the gate must be imposing and sturdy."

Chu Feng took out a thousand taels silver note from his robes and tossed it over.

Extorting thirty thousand taels from the Qiao Family, Chu Feng spent freely without heartache.

The fifty thousand taels earned from selling the Golden Talisman Elixirs, after deducting the cost of making advanced level Peiyuan Elixirs and buying tonics for his brother and sister-in-law, left him with forty-six thousand and more. That money, Chu Feng planned to use for improving his cultivation.

To buy better Golden Rune Engraving Knives and materials for Golden Talisman Elixirs.

As for the thirty thousand silver taels extorted from the Qiao Family, that was public money. Chu Feng didn’t plan to keep a penny of it. All of it would be given to his brother and sister-in-law to provide for the household.

In poverty, a couple’s woes are many; the huge Sword King Mansion absolutely requires sufficient silver for upkeep, otherwise, it’s unthinkable.

With money, it’s entirely possible to hire more servants and guards, renovate the house, eat what one wishes, and live a better, more respectable life.

Rather than bearing the titles of Prince and Princess, but living a miserable life like those of the lower class.

Chu Danzi had never seen a silver note of such a large denomination in his life.

He was so flustered he didn’t know where to put his hands, and kept shaking his head, saying, "This, this is too big a task for me, I’m afraid I’ll mess it up... Third Highness, it’s better to find capable people like Ah-Chang to do it!"

Chu Danzi, just a gatekeeper, felt particularly low and lacked ambition.

For him, being loyal to the Sword King Mansion as a gatekeeper, having food to eat, and a place to stay was more than enough.

"Do you really plan to be a gatekeeper all your life? The position of Chief Steward of my Sword King Mansion is vacant; you must grow quickly, it’s waiting for you to fill!"

"Haven’t you seen how hard my sister-in-law works inside and outside, how strenuous it is? As servants, we must always be ready to relieve our masters of their worries!"

Chu Feng threw out a huge lure to Chu Danzi.

Loyal and reliable subordinates, even those slightly less capable, are still highly valued by Chu Feng.

The position of Chief Steward...

Chu Danzi’s face showed extreme shock, his cheeks flushed with excitement, and he swallowed hard. To him, not only being the Chief Steward of the Sword King Mansion but even to become a manager was beyond his wildest dreams.

Chu Feng actually held such high expectations of him, which set Chu Danzi’s blood boiling and filled him with extreme gratitude towards Chu Feng.

Thump!

Without any hesitation, he knelt down and kowtowed to Chu Feng.

"Thank you, Third Prince, for your recognition and cultivation. I, Chu Danzi, will give my all and do everything well." This time, he did not refuse.

If he didn’t seize such an opportunity, he would truly be a hopeless case.

"That’s right, one must have goals and ideals in life. Do a good job, and if you perform well, I’ll find someone else to guard the door in a few days, and you’ll be transferred to work in the inner mansion."

Chu Feng entered the inner mansion with a satisfied smile.

As soon as he arrived in the hall, he heard bursts of laughter coming from inside. His heart was filled with joy; it seems his senior brother had returned.

It seems that things were progressing well.

"Senior brother, did everything go smoothly?" Chu Feng greeted with a smile.

His sister-in-law and his second sister, Chu Yun, both had joyful and charming smiles on their faces, which were enchanting. Seeing them so happy made Chu Feng feel that everything he had done was particularly worthwhile.

Protecting his family and ensuring their happiness was Chu Feng’s most cherished concern since his rebirth.

It was just as important as taking revenge.

"Third brother, it’s done! Within three days, the Prince Liu Mansion will fall! What’s more, I’ve made a great contribution and gained the appreciation of Minister Wu. I was promoted to team leader on the spot!" Chu Jianlan had never felt as elated as he did today.

Despite his grand aspirations over the years, he faced suppression and persecution everywhere.

No matter how hard he tried, he was nothing but a deputy team leader.

With his abilities, he could have been very likely promoted to camp commander or lieutenant.

He had been stuck in the position of deputy team leader for four whole years, and no matter how much he contributed, his achievements were always taken by others like Team Leader Wang. He remained only a deputy.

Never seeing any hope, he had even despaired.

He had given up any illusions about promotion.

All he wanted was to one day safely take his younger siblings and wife out of the Royal Capital, to the border, away from the persecution of the Sword Cloud Imperial Family. That would have been enough for him.

As for revenge, it was something he didn’t even dare to think about.

But today, because of Chu Feng’s strategizing and planning, he had seen hope anew.

Chu Jianlan admired his younger brother’s abilities to the utmost.

"This is the silver I demanded back from the Qiao Family, a total of twenty-eight thousand taels left! You and your wife can freely manage it!" Chu Feng said with a smile, taking a large stack of silver notes from his bosom.

So much money!

Chu Jianlan and his wife were so shocked that they were speechless. Even the naive and simple Chu Yun was stunned as she looked at her younger brother.

Since she finished her cultivation retreat, she had noticed that her third brother had undergone a transformation.

"You really got silver from the Qiao Family? And so much!" Chu Jianlan was extremely shocked.

He was very clear about how powerful the Qiao Family was.

Chu Yun had already told Chu Jianlan about Chu Feng taking the experts from the Blood Sword Gang to demand the gambling debt from the Qiao Family.

Worried about Chu Feng’s safety, he was about to check on the situation at the Qiao Family.

Unexpectedly, Chu Feng had already returned safely.

And the silver he got was not ten thousand taels, but nearly thirty thousand taels.
