At this time, many people were already waiting at the entrance of the Zhao residence.
At the front stood a robust young man, dressed in fine clothes and wearing a jade belt, who bore a resemblance to Zhao Feng. Behind him stood many people, flanked by servants and maids; the scene was grand.
Zhao Feng quickly walked up to the middle-aged man and introduced him to Meng Fan: "Brother Meng, this is my father, Zhao Chuxiong. The men beside him are my second uncle, Zhao Chuxin, and my third uncle, Zhao Chuyun. Father, I survived this ordeal entirely thanks to Brother Meng's help!"
With a beaming smile, Zhao Chuxiong bowed to Meng Fan and said, "Thank you for saving my son, Young Master Meng. Please allow me to do my best as a host. Wine and dishes have been prepared in my residence. I hope you will not mind and will come in quickly!"
Meng Fan clasped his hands in return: "Uncle, there's no need to be so polite. It was just a coincidence that I saved Brother Zhao. I couldn't resist Brother Zhao's repeated invitations, so I came to your residence to chat for a few days. Please."
After exchanging pleasantries, the two quickly entered the mansion. The meal was quite enjoyable for both host and guest, with everyone toasting each other. Meng Fan eventually pretended to be drunk and was helped to a guest room by two maids.
Meng Fan dismissed the two women who wanted to sleep with him. It wasn't that he was pretending to be virtuous; it was mainly because the two women were just of marriageable age, and he simply couldn't bring himself to do it!
As expected of a top power in Sunset City, the mansion is luxurious, and even the guest rooms are in a separate courtyard.
Although the guest rooms weren't decorated with gold or silver ornaments, they were very clean and cozy.
He walked to the bedside, sat down, and this time he took the initiative to practice. His Nine Yang Divine Skill grew faster than a whale swallowing water, more than five times faster than it would naturally grow.
Immerse yourself in the system.
"System, can I recharge the silver notes I have?"
[Ding! The system can only detect a few scraps of paper!]
"I knew it wouldn't be that simple. If I could, I would open a money exchange and print money like crazy. It seems the system is quite smart; I can't fool it."
The only option now is to do whatever makes money. Robbery? Smuggling? Theft? None of those are suitable. Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, people in this world aren't stupid. He needs to be mindful of his reputation. After all, if he wants to live a carefree life, he needs a good image!
At the very least, you must win people over with virtue! Like Zhao Feng!
But the gold and diamond lottery prizes have increased a hundredfold, with the diamond lottery costing a million taels of silver per draw. He could imagine that even the entire annual tax revenue of the Fire Maple Dynasty wouldn't be enough to draw that many times!
Let's take it one step at a time. Our understanding of this world is still somewhat limited. It should be easier to make money once we get to higher-level maps!
"System, synchronize the Nine Yang Manual and Lingbo Steps to Lin Yuantu!"
[Ding! Synchronizing insights...]
[Ding! Synchronization complete!]
Lin Yuantu, who lived in the neighboring courtyard, suddenly felt that his head was filled with many things. Because it was a character summoned by the system, he was not panicked, knowing that it was an opportunity given to him by the young master!
He quickly sat down cross-legged. The Evil-Repelling Sword Manual he had been practicing these past few days didn't focus on internal energy cultivation, but rather on sword techniques, pushing the unpredictability and speed to the extreme. In the past few days, this technique had reached its limit in this world, and his cultivation level had reached the late stage of the Innate Realm!
Without some alternative martial arts insights, he would have had to slowly deduce his own Evil-Repelling Sword Manual. This enlightenment came at just the right time!
When he was practicing the Nine Yang Divine Skill, the intense yang energy spread throughout his meridians, colliding fiercely with the yin energy he had cultivated from the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual. Just as he was about to withdraw his cultivation, a mysterious power appeared between the two internal forces. The two completely different forces inexplicably merged and intertwined, miraculously generating a brand new internal force. He felt that this internal force was twice as strong as the internal force he had cultivated from the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual!
This is another system bug that Meng Fan has discovered in the past few days! As long as he continues to grow stronger, the characters summoned by the system can also quickly become stronger! However, the divine skills he synchronizes all require the summoned characters to start cultivating from scratch. They don't need to comprehend them; they can simply absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth like Meng Fan is doing now!
Moreover, the problem of conflicting cultivation techniques will be perfectly resolved by the system!
The characters summoned by the system are 100% loyal. Even if you are tortured, or even if you are in a cultivation world and your soul is extracted and your memories are forcibly read, the system will protect you!
This was the system's repeated assurance to Meng Fan.
After all, someone with a system can only enjoy everything if their subordinates are stronger than them. What's the point of summoning people if they have to handle everything themselves?
Meng Fan fantasized that if they ever drew a cultivation technique from the primordial era, they could simply sweep through everything!
Unfortunately, it was just a fantasy. You have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time!
night.
Not far from the Zhao residence is another large mansion, the Prince's Mansion.
The head of the Wang family and several middle-aged men were talking in the living room.
"Patriarch Wang, we came to help you get rid of Zhao Wuji. The mission is almost complete, but Zhao Feng is your problem. I didn't expect you to be unable to handle even this simple matter. It seems that our Sun family should consider whether we should find a new partner!"
"Gentlemen, there's no need for such formalities. I never expected Zhao Feng to have such an opportunity. May I ask the identities of those three? So that we can prescribe the right medicine for them."
"The one leaving through the city gate is one of the four great constables of the Six Doors in the capital, Zhui Feng. His Zhui Feng sword technique is unmatched by anyone below the Innate Realm. But don't worry about him; he's returning to the capital to report tomorrow and doesn't have much connection with the Zhao family. We don't know the background of those two either, but according to your men, the old man probably has the strength of the Innate Realm!"
"Sigh! I wonder what kind of connection those two have with the Zhao family. They're not easy to deal with!"
"Patriarch Wang, there's no need to worry. I've already sent a message to you, and I expect you will send strong reinforcements here as well. However, the agreed-upon distribution of benefits should be revised afterward."
The head of the Wang family looked bitter, but things had come to this point and there was no turning back. He could only hope to resolve the Zhao family issue smoothly.
