Because he had no money, Chu Fan could not create comfortable and wealthy living conditions for Zhang Guangmu, so in terms of the contract, he directly gave him the best treatment he could.

The contract given by Chu Fan to Zhang Guangmu is a Class A-level swordsman contract, and all conditions are directly equivalent to Li Xiaoxiao.

Li Xiaoxiao Who?

Feihong Sect is the most talented and powerful swordsman of this generation, a popular swordsman who was trained as his own son by the previous generation of masters. The masters of all major sects have offered him an olive branch.

The most outrageous thing is that the contract Chu Fan gave to Zhang Guangmu did not restrict Zhang Guangmu's personal freedom.

That is to say...

Zhang Guangmu You can leave if you want, stay if you want to stay.

Never mind that Feihong Sect has a lot of hips now. After all, they are also a serious top swordsmanship club. They can offer such a contract. If nothing else, at least the human touch is directly fulfilled.

Under the candlelight, after Zhang Guangmu signed the contract, Feihong Secret Swordsmanship opened everything to him.

In theory, this is illegal.

But who made Chu Fan the leader?

In Chu Fan's view, the saying "A mile away can tell a horse's power, but time can tell a person's heart" is very limiting.

After witnessing the performance of Mu Youhai and MacGarde with his own eyes, Chu Fan believes that "the strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough wind knows the honest minister".

After going through a life-and-death ordeal, Chu Fan wished he could give half of all the good things to Zhang Guangmu.

Feihong Sect Li Xiaoxiao, the strongest person in the contemporary era, has no objections to this at all, and even feels that his senior brother has finally done his job.

The two reached a consensus, so there was no such snake-skin dialogue as "Chu Fan, you will regret it!" and "Li Xiaoxiao, I am the leader!"

After having enough wine and food, Chu Fan arranged the best rooms for Zhang Guangmu and Lin Zitong to stay in.

After that, Chu Fan didn't stop and immediately began to deal with the bodies of MacGarde and Mu Youhai.

In modern society, murder is a serious crime.

However, considering that the two deceased persons had professional swordsman certificates and were "illegal entry-level murderers," there is a lot of room for maneuver.

After contacting the local police station, relevant staff quickly came to the door.

Just two hours later, the forensic autopsy results came out - Mu Youhai and MacGarde had a dispute due to uneven distribution of the spoils, and died at each other's hands.

The former had his carotid artery cut and died of excessive bleeding, while the latter died of unknown poison.

Therefore, Chu Fan sent the bodies of Mu Youhai and MacGarde to the crematorium for disposal in an open and honest manner.

The two spiritual swords that originally belonged to these two people, in Chu Fan's opinion, should be Zhang Guangmu's trophies.

In the middle of the night, the owner was sleeping soundly in bed, and Chu Fan kept watching, fearing that the greedy clerk would reach out randomly and take away what originally belonged to Zhang Guangmu.

Although Chu Fan's combat ability is a bit low, there is no problem with Sect Leader of Feihong's reputation in bluffing outsiders.

Under the watchful eye of Chu Fan, no relevant case investigators dared to reach out.

Although it was a fantasy to expect these people to find out Mastermind, the two spirit swords traveled around various units and finally fell into the name of Zhang Guangmu and became his legal property.

After finishing all these chores, it was already four-fifteen.

This time is very awkward, not quite late at night, but also some distance from dawn.

Feihong Sword Technique Base Under the huge sycamore tree in front of the door, Chu Fan took out a lighter. He originally wanted to light a cigarette for himself, but suddenly realized that he had no spare money to buy cigarettes.

Putting the lighter back into his pocket, Chu Fan picked up a leaf from the ground and smiled bitterly, "There are still ten days left, that is [Golden Autumn Sword Competition]."

Li Xiaoxiao glanced at him indifferently. "Well, with Senior Brother Guang and me here, at least we don't have to worry about Feihong being downgraded."

Hearing this, the smile on Chu Fan's face became more depressed, as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis, and said in a bitter voice, "We have no money."

Putting aside eating and drinking, the entire Feihong base was completely without water or electricity.

As soon as the sun sets, it becomes pitch black and looks as gloomy as a mass grave. Even passers-by wandering past feel terrified.

Both Li Xiaoxiao and Chu Fan have adapted to this kind of life where water and electricity are cut off at the end of the month.

Just...

Thinking of the previous scene where Zhang Guangmu's chopsticks were flying like flies, Chu Fan couldn't help but express his worries. "Junior Brother Guang is willing to fight for Feihong because he is a good character and loyal. We can't let him starve to compete with others, right?"

This is the most realistic problem Feihong Sect currently has.

Without enough to eat, everything else is empty talk.

That is to say, after Zhang Guangmu goes to sleep, Chu Fan can take Li Xiaoxiao to talk about these daily life issues of rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

"Feihong's account is negative, I've known this for a long time."

Li Xiaoxiao stared at Chu Fan: "You don't have any money in your personal account?"

He had some doubts about whether this unreliable senior brother was corrupt.

Chu Fan didn't hear what he meant. He just sighed and said truthfully, "There are ninety-three yuan left, and I can last for three days at most."

As long as he has a three-digit balance in his personal account, he will not lick his face to talk to his junior brother about this issue.

Hearing this, Li Xiaoxiao stared at Chu Fan for a long time and sighed.

It is true that I think too much.

It's just...

All the money he earned from working as a special trainer for other swordsmanship clubs was used to pay off the debts owed by the previous generation.

"The ingredients in the base have been eaten."

Chu Fan said honestly, "After today's meal, I'm afraid everyone will have to drink porridge to survive..."

In movie viewing mode, Little White Ballss don't need to rest at all. It's equivalent to sleeping for 24 hours, and they are full of energy.

After listening to the conversation between the two, this group of Xiao Bai Group saw something new and couldn't help but marvel.

"Aren't water and electricity free?"

"Really, these two things actually cost money?"

"If you don't have food to eat, you can eat Nutrient Paste!"

"That's right! Nutrient Paste also doesn't cost money! Idiot!"

"Why Not Eat Meat Porridge?"

"Fortunately, I have a good command of classical Chinese and can understand it. The answer is - minced meat porridge also costs money!"

"Ahem... the class representative is here - "Why Not Eat Meat Porridge" is an allusion from the reign of Emperor Hui of Jin Dynasty, used to describe those in power who are ignorant of the sufferings of the people. In Rousseau's "Confessions", there is a similar story - 'A princess said: When the peasants have no bread, just let them eat cream pastries!'"

"Fuck! That's what it means! Thanks for the popular science!"

"Are you cultural people always so eccentric? Let's just say that the world of "Sword, Vanity Fair" would be complete without Nutrient Paste!"

"Actually, throughout history, the era in which water and electricity were free without limit was only the ten centuries when Xuanlong Empire ruled the earth..."

"Here I go! Comparing this, I suddenly feel that our life is so happy! Apart from eating, drinking and sleeping every day, we just play games and watch movies... It's so exciting!"

Li Xiaoxiao and Chu Fan do not know what Little White Balls said.

The two were still discussing hard about how to solve the problem of "Feihong's Broken Capital Chain".

"I'll think of a way."

Li Xiaoxiao punched the sycamore tree and said, "If it doesn't work out, I'll go out and borrow some money to make ends meet."

"With me and Senior Brother Guang here, are you still afraid that Feihong can't recreate its glory?"

Li Xiaoxiao doesn't believe it!

If you and Zhang Guangmu are so good at swordsmanship, will they be troubled by money issues?

Facts have proved that Li Xiaoxiao really thought too much.

He did borrow some low-interest loans, but the problem is...

The loaned money was transferred to the debt collectors' accounts in a legal way that was incomprehensible to non-financial people.

Li Xiaoxiao's claws are numb.

"You must find a professional to help you solve your financial problems!"

Chu Fan and Li Xiaoxiao reached such a consensus when they poured porridge into their stomachs at noon the next day.

But the problem is...

People who are trustworthy are not capable of this.

People with strong abilities in this area often have criminal records, so they cannot be trusted at all!

Just when the two were worrying about money, Zhang Guangmu, who had been missing for a whole morning, brought a rising supernova in the financial industry back to the base of Feihong Swordsmanship Club.
