Getting Things for Free Makes People Happy, Twice Makes It Even Better

The Golden Basin Hand-Washing ceremony concluded, and martial artists from various sects began to depart.

Captain Xing, his task completed, didn't linger. After bidding farewell to Su Chen, he returned to Hengnan County.

Zhang Sanfeng also led the Wudang disciples away from Hengyang City, preparing to return to the Mount Hua Sect.

However, just outside Hengyang City, he found an excuse to slip away from the group.

Linghu Chong was instructed to lead the disciples back to Mount Hua, while he himself secretly returned to Hengyang City.

His reason for returning to Hengyang was naturally to discuss a deal with Su Chen.

Not long after Zhang Sanfeng left, Lao Denuo also found an excuse to break away from the group.

Liu Manor's separate courtyard.

Su Chen was resting in his room when Liu Zhengfeng suddenly returned.

"Lord Su, I've found a buyer. It's estimated that in two days, I'll be able to gather two hundred thousand taels of silver and deliver it to you," Liu Zhengfeng said respectfully.

"Two hundred thousand taels?" Su Chen raised an eyebrow.

Liu Zhengfeng only owed him one hundred thousand taels. Now, he was going to sell his assets to raise two hundred thousand taels.

Su Chen wasn't so narcissistic as to believe Liu Zhengfeng would give him an extra hundred thousand taels for free.

Therefore, the most likely scenario was that Liu Zhengfeng wanted to do business with him again.

At present, Liu Zhengfeng's greatest threat was none other than Zuo Lengchan of Mount Song.

Thinking of this, Su Chen showed a kind smile on his face.

As long as he could make money, he would be very happy.

As expected, the next second, he heard Liu Zhengfeng speak.

"Zuo Lengchan's scheme has been thwarted, and his three great protectors have all been defeated. Upon hearing the news, he will definitely not let this matter rest."

"If he sends people to attack again, I fear I will be unable to resist..."

"Therefore, I was thinking, if it's convenient for Lord Su, I would ask for your assistance to protect my family's lives."

"Of course, I won't ask you to act without offering anything in return. The extra one hundred thousand taels of silver will be your reward."

After speaking, Liu Zhengfeng looked at Su Chen with anticipation, awaiting his reply.

Su Chen's expression was calm, but his heart was overjoyed.

Regardless of the circumstances, Ding Mian and the other two had met their end by his blade.

This enmity was absolutely irreconcilable.

If Zuo Lengchan sought revenge, he would undoubtedly be the primary target.

Therefore, even if Liu Zhengfeng didn't pay him for assistance, he was destined to confront Zuo Lengchan and the Mount Song Sect.

Calculating it this way, Liu Zhengfeng's extra hundred thousand taels of silver was essentially given for free.

Su Chen had always enjoyed getting things for free and making money. How could he refuse now?

With these thoughts, Su Chen replied, "I accept this deal."

Upon hearing Su Chen's agreement, Liu Zhengfeng was overjoyed and immediately thanked him, "Thank you, Lord Su, for agreeing to help. I am deeply grateful."

"No need for excessive thanks. Just remember to pay the silver on time."

"Lord Su, rest assured. In two days, I, Liu, will deliver the two hundred thousand taels of silver in full."

Afterward, Liu Zhengfeng requested to take his leave. "Lord Su, please rest. I shall not disturb you further."

With that, he prepared to leave the courtyard.

But at that moment, Su Chen suddenly turned his head to look at the rooftop.

"My friend on the rooftop, you've been hiding for so long, it's time to come out."

Liu Zhengfeng's footsteps suddenly halted, and he turned to look.

The next second, a middle-aged man wearing a mask leaped from the rooftop into the courtyard.

Seeing this, Liu Zhengfeng broke out in a cold sweat.

His cultivation was already at the mid-stage of Minor Grandmaster, making him a formidable expert in the martial world.

Yet, he hadn't sensed the person hiding on the rooftop at all.

If this person had ill intentions towards him...

Thinking of this, Liu Zhengfeng felt a chill run down his spine.

At this moment, the masked man spoke.

"Your perception is truly sharp. I thought I hadn't revealed any flaws, but I didn't expect you to detect me."

The masked man said with a hint of admiration. His voice was clearly disguised, as he didn't want anyone to know his true identity.

If it were before, when Su Chen was still at the Minor Grandmaster level, he naturally wouldn't have been able to discover this person.

After a period of extravagant recharge, Su Chen's cultivation had already advanced to the Grandmaster realm. Detecting this person's trace was naturally as easy as flipping one's hand.

Of course, Su Chen wouldn't tell them these things.

Su Chen looked at the masked man, observed him for a few moments, and then suddenly said, "Sect Leader Yue, take off the mask. Hiding your head and showing your tail, being secretive, doesn't fit your reputation as the Gentleman Sword."

"What? Brother Yue?" Liu Zhengfeng was startled again, his gaze fixed intently on the masked man.

Su Chen actually said this masked man was Yue Buqun, which caught Liu Zhengfeng by surprise.

The masked man also stiffened. He met Su Chen's gaze through the mask for a moment before finally seeming to give up, shaking his head.

"Lord Su truly has unparalleled eyesight. My disguise ultimately couldn't fool you..."

As the masked man spoke, he removed his mask, revealing that humble and refined face. It was indeed Yue Buqun.

"Brother Yue, it's really you..." Liu Zhengfeng said with surprise. "Didn't you already leave? Why did you come back, and why did you deliberately hide your identity?"

Yue Buqun smiled apologetically. "Junior Brother Liu, there are reasons for this. I was afraid of leaking information, so I deliberately concealed my identity when I came. Please bear with me."

Hearing this, Liu Zhengfeng frowned.

He had some inkling that Yue Buqun's hidden arrival this time was for a significant matter.

And it was likely to discuss with Su Chen.

As expected, in the next second, he heard Yue Buqun say, "Lord Su, Junior Brother Liu, I wonder if you would allow me to join the business you two are discussing?"

Here comes another one to give money!

Su Chen immediately had this thought.

He was quite aware of Yue Buqun's predicament.

After the Sword Qi Dispute, Mount Hua Sect had declined drastically.

Looking at the current Mount Hua Sect, the only experts in the Minor Grandmaster realm were Yue Buqun and his wife, Ning Zhongze.

For an ordinary sect, two Minor Grandmaster experts would be sufficient.

But given Mount Hua's current situation, this was a bit too stretched.

Internally, disciples like Linghu Chong had not yet fully matured and were not capable of handling affairs independently. Moreover, they often caused Yue Buqun a lot of headaches.

Those from the Sword Sect who were defeated earlier, like Feng Buping and Cheng Buyou, were also lurking in the shadows, constantly ready to return to Mount Hua and reclaim the position of sect leader.

Externally, Zuo Lengchan of Mount Song was ambitious, constantly wanting to unify the Five Great Sword Sects, and Mount Hua Sect was the sect he focused on targeting the most.

Mount Hua Sect at this moment was in a state of internal and external turmoil.

A slight misstep could lead to a complete loss.

Although Mount Hua's Siguo Cliff harbored an ultimate expert, Feng Qingyang, if he were to make a move, the crisis of Mount Hua could be easily resolved.

However, Feng Qingyang was oblivious to worldly affairs.

In fact, Yue Buqun didn't even know that such an incredibly powerful figure existed within his own sect.

Under prolonged high pressure, Yue Buqun was already on the verge of collapse.

Otherwise, in his original world, he wouldn't have resolutely chosen self-castration to practice the Bixie Sword Manual.

Now that he encountered an opportunity like Su Chen, he naturally had to seize it.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Su Chen looked at Yue Buqun and said with a smile, "I, Su, do business openly and naturally wouldn't refuse a customer."

"If Sect Leader Yue wishes to join, I, Su, welcome you with both hands."

"However, I wonder how much silver the Sect Leader Yue can offer?"

Hearing Su Chen's agreement, Yue Buqun also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Junior Brother Liu offered a hundred thousand taels, so I will also offer a hundred thousand taels!"
