Guard? Beat him up!

Chu Danqing dismissed the two maids, as opening treasure chests was not something suitable for outsiders to witness.

[You have opened: Treasure Chest (Excellent), obtaining: Xiliang Infantry Armor, Paradise Points ×1700]

[Xiliang Infantry Armor]

[Type: Equipment · Armor]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Durability: 100/100]

[Defense: 20]

[Cloth Surface (Passive): Agility +1]

[Equipment Requirements: Strength 7, Constitution 7]

Chu Danqing glanced at it and tossed it into his Storage Space.

Wearing it would increase his Agility by 1 point, which was true, but it wasn't permanent; it disappeared when removed.

Compared to Agility, he needed 10 more points of Defense, and Da Bao couldn't wear it either, so in the end, he could only take it back and sell it.

"The hierarchy between treasure chests is so realistic."

The Excellent treasure chest from the Azure Cliff Bandit Fortress and the Excellent treasure chest from the Cave Beast Priest were worlds apart.

This was normal; the items that could be obtained from a treasure chest were related to the group that was killed.

How could this group of bandits dare to compare themselves to the Cave Beast Priest?

"But it's much better than the guaranteed thousand points." Chu Danqing looked at his Paradise Points rising again and felt quite satisfied.

Knock, knock, knock~

There was a knock on the door, and Da Bao got up to open it.

"You, what do?" Da Bao lowered his head, looking at a strong man holding a food box.

The man's face froze, and he forced a smile: "Delivering some food for you."

Da Bao reached out to take the food box and casually closed the door.

"He, want fight, scared away." Da Bao placed the food box on the table, and Chu Danqing took it out and placed it in front of Da Bao.

Da Bao's hands were too big to reach in, so Chu Danqing had to do it for him.

"Probably a show of force, or maybe someone instigated it." Chu Danqing guessed at some possibilities, while mentally calculating how to handle it.

It's important to not have a heart that harms others, but it's also important to be wary of others.

Da Bao ate the food in large mouthfuls, quickly devouring it all.

"Normal." Da Bao even added a comment.

"It's ancient times, it's normal." Of course, Chu Danqing understood that ancient food couldn't compare to modern seasonings.

A packet of MSG could make a chef a culinary god in ancient times.

The idea that ancient food was more delicious because it was natural was false. Were modern agricultural scientists, botanists, and other scientists being treated as decorations?

Modern crops not only have higher yields but also taste far better than ancient ones.

If you say the ancients knew how to have fun, Chu Danqing couldn't imagine how much fun they could have, but whether the food was delicious was uncertain.

At most, they ate some rare things that modern people couldn't catch up with, but in terms of taste, the snack streets could probably compete.

The wisdom of technology and additives is something ancient chefs couldn't imagine.

"Not full." Da Bao muttered again.

Chu Danqing took out a lot of food from his Storage Space.

Da Bao's consumption wasn't created out of thin air; he needed to replenish it with a large amount of food every day.

However, he could also eat a large amount of food at once as a nutritional reserve.

Chu Danqing was considering getting a batch of highly nutritious, easily absorbed compressed food to reduce Da Bao's food intake and frequency.

Actually, this wasn't the best solution; the best solution was to feed Da Bao medicinal cuisine made from natural treasures.

However, the problem was that he didn't have any natural treasures, so he could only let Da Bao make do for now.

Da Bao was eating when there was another knock on the door.

This time, Chu Danqing opened the door.

The visitor's expression relaxed when he saw that it wasn't Da Bao who opened the door: "Presumably, you are the extraordinary Mr. Chu whom the eldest miss welcomed into the residence."

"I wouldn't dare call myself extraordinary, but it is indeed me." Chu Danqing didn't deny it: "Who are you?"

"I am Gao Jie, the Chief Warden of the Lu Clan. I heard that the young master asked the master to grant you a guest elder position, and I am truly indignant."

"I wanted to see what kind of skills and techniques you possess." Gao Jie cupped his fist and stated his intentions.

The Lu Clan wasn't without guest elders, but each one was a famous figure. How could Chu Danqing, an unknown junior, hold such a position?

He was afraid that Chu Danqing had used unscrupulous means to deceive the Lu Clan's young master and miss, so he came to test him.

Previously, he had sent a Chief Warden, but he was scared off, claiming there was a talking exotic beast.

"Da Bao, beat him up." Chu Danqing stepped aside, giving Da Bao room to move.

Gao Jie only noticed Da Bao in the room at this moment, but it was already too late, because Da Bao charged over without a word.

A huge, red-furred fist swung towards Gao Jie's chest.

Gao Jie's expression changed drastically. He was about to say something, but the fist had already landed on his chest.

With that punch, his entire body flew backward.

Da Bao was even faster, grabbing his foot and forcibly pulling him back, slamming the face side against the wall while dragging his leg.

Letting Gao Jie slowly fall to the ground.

Then Da Bao released his grip and returned to Chu Danqing's side: "Beat him up good."

Da Bao's intelligence level wasn't high, but he could distinguish between the words "kill" and "beat."

Killing meant taking a life, while beating was just a lesson. He controlled his strength to avoid actually killing or seriously injuring anyone.

Gao Jie, bruised and swollen, struggled to his feet, feeling pain all over his body.

"Chief Warden Gao, you're not up to snuff," Chu Danqing mocked. "With your pathetic skills, how can you protect the estate?"

Chu Danqing wasn't made of clay. If you come at him with a provocation, how could he possibly give you a pleasant look?

Besides, he was invited by Lu Yin and Lu Qiaoyun. You're just an employee; what right do you have to interfere with who the bosses hire?

Since the other party was impolite, Chu Danqing wouldn't offer a warm face to a cold reception.

After being told off by Chu Danqing, Gao Jie's face turned green and white.

Looking at Da Bao beside Chu Danqing with a wary gaze, he dared not offend him and could only bite the bullet and say, "This one overestimated himself. Mr. Chu is truly an extraordinary man."

That's right, he admitted defeat.

He didn't plan to fight to the end.

In his opinion, Chu Danqing's skill in taming exotic beasts would definitely secure him a position as a guest elder in the Lu Clan.

In the future, they would inevitably be serving the Lu Clan together, and his status was inferior to the other party's. If he didn't want to have a hard time in the future, it was best to apologize and curry favor first.

Moreover, between a Chief Warden and a guest elder, the Lu Clan would naturally know who was more valuable.

Chu Danqing really didn't expect that Gao Jie could not only endure being beaten but also take the blame upon himself.

He was a talented individual, truly worthy of being able to become a Chief Warden in a noble clan.

"Chief Warden Gao is too kind. I only hope there won't be a next time," Chu Danqing said slowly and deliberately, putting on airs.

His attitude certainly wouldn't be very good. You came to his door to provoke him; he couldn't be expected to forget it on the spot.

Not continuing to make things difficult was already Chu Danqing's magnanimity.
