#132 - Chapter 132: Collapse

Cheng Feng calculated that there were twelve rooms in the middle courtyard, thirty in the main courtyard of the back courtyard, and fifteen in the side courtyard. In total, there were fifty-seven厢房 rooms before and after. This doesn't even include the six side rooms next to the kitchen and the fifteen rooms for the servants. Wouldn't it be tiring to manage?

Fortunately, Cheng Feng was planning to buy some servants to serve his wives and concubines in the future, and such a large house would definitely be enough.

Cheng Feng finally asked the ultimate question of all buyers: "Shopkeeper, how much silver will this cost?"

The shopkeeper cupped his hands and said, "I've already mentioned the matter of silver. Let's skip the bargaining. However, for such a large transaction, please wait a moment, young master. The Lin family is already on their way."

Upon hearing the shopkeeper's words, Cheng Feng couldn't help but feel a surge of doubt in his heart. He originally thought that this transaction would be like previous transactions, with the price determined through bargaining, but he didn't expect the shopkeeper to make such a request. Was he going to meet the seller directly?

Before long, a group of people slowly appeared. They rode tall horses, wore luxurious clothes, and exuded an imposing aura. The leader was a middle-aged man, burly, with a stern face, obviously the head of the Lin family. He walked up to Cheng Feng, smiled slightly, cupped his fist and said, "Young Master Cheng, I have long heard of your great name. Today, I finally have the honor of meeting you. It is truly a great fortune."

Cheng Feng also returned a smile, but his body was sending out warning signals to Cheng Feng, feeling that the other party's gestures were full of strength, his breathing and pace were steady and powerful, and there was a hidden blood line in his eyes. At least he had reached the Perfect level of Blood Refining, or even close to breaking through Blood Refining.

He thought to himself, the strength of this Lin family head is indeed extraordinary, no wonder he can lead such a large family.

The shopkeeper introduced with a beaming smile: "This is the head of the Lin family, Lin Xiong, who caught the notorious Blood Wolf Gang off guard half a year ago."

He then introduced to Lin Xiong: "This is Young Master Cheng, who wants to find a large house to settle his family. He has been looking for several months but hasn't found a suitable one. It just so happens that the Lin family is selling a house here. Gentlemen, shall we find a place to discuss the specific details?"

Lin Xiong looked at this man who had the strength to buy the Lin family's house in the south of the city.

Just looking at his appearance, he was indeed handsome, with firm eyes, measured demeanor, and a long breath. His strength should be slightly weaker than his own. Such a young Blood Refining expert?

No matter how he thought about it, he had never seen him before. Could it be that another dragon has emerged in the past two years?

Smiling and talking to Cheng Feng, he walked to a teahouse next door. The shopkeeper was obviously prepared, and immediately sat down and served tea.

Lin Xiong casually asked: "May I ask where Young Master Cheng works?"

Cheng Feng asked curiously: "Does buying a house also depend on one's background?"

The shopkeeper came out to smooth things over: "Master Lin should think that Young Master Cheng is young and promising and wants to make friends with you."

Lin Xiong lived in the north of the city, so it was normal that he didn't know some things.

The shopkeeper couldn't possibly not know that behind the recently popular Hongmen was this Young Master Cheng.

Backed by the Iron Mountain Martial Arts School, Wang Tieshan had already declared: "No bullying the weak, otherwise I can come down to fight."

This shows his protectiveness.

This allowed Liu Xiansheng of the Green Bamboo Gang to acquiesce to this matter. Later, Hongmen did not expand, which was considered to have calmed the matter down.

They couldn't possibly know that Cheng Feng was just consolidating his territory. Wang Tieshan had never actively talked to Cheng Feng about this matter, but after all, he was his closed disciple, and he couldn't just sit idly by when he was being bullied.

Lin Xiong also made the Blood Wolf Gang unable to raise their heads in the north of the city. If these two were to fight, who would win and who would lose was still unknown!

It's just that he can't afford to offend either side now. It's good enough to be able to discuss business peacefully.

The shopkeeper sighed secretly: "Is it easy for me to earn money?"

Cheng Feng obviously didn't know that Wang Tieshan had given him so much support.

He silently watched the shopkeeper smooth things over: "Could the shopkeeper be a shill?"

Only Lin Xiong could see that the shopkeeper didn't want the two sides to fight. Lin Xiong didn't care. He was about to break through, and he was just short of silver to buy medicinal materials. Nothing was more important than his breakthrough.

Since Lin Xiong transferred funds to purchase Tiger Bone Pills, the Lin family's wealth had almost been emptied.

Later, he was ambushed on the road, but he managed to save his life. After taking the Tiger Bone Pill at the risk, he felt that his breakthrough was still a little short. At the same time, he had to deal with the harassment of the Blood Wolf Gang, and the county magistrate had recently come to visit.

This made Lin Xiong feel that a crisis was about to come.

He had no choice but to sell the house to raise silver so that he could break through.

Moreover, the news had to be kept as secret as possible.

Cheng Feng's face turned livid upon hearing Lin Xiong's words. He was really angered by Lin Xiong's shameless behavior.

He took a deep breath, tried to remain calm, and then said, "Master Lin, what do you mean by this? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? You want me to pay the silver first, and then I can only move in after a month, and I have to go through the transfer procedures myself a month later. You are clearly playing tricks and want to renege on the debt!"

Lin Xiong was speechless by Cheng Feng's words. He knew that he was indeed a bit excessive, but he had no choice now.

He lowered his head, remained silent for a while, then raised his head, looked into Cheng Feng's eyes, and said sincerely: "Young Master Cheng, I know that I am indeed a bit excessive in doing this, but I am also forced to do so. I am now in urgent need of money, and the people of the Blood Wolf Gang may come to my door at any time. I can only sell the house to you while concealing the news, and then find a way to solve other things."

Cheng Feng would not be moved by such tricks. What does your problem have to do with me?

My silver is not blown by the wind! Seeing the stalemate, Cheng Feng prepared to leave.

He thought the Lin family head was good just now, but is this it?

The abacus was so loud that people at the city gate could hear it.

The shopkeeper was also anxious. If this deal was successful, the intermediary fee alone would be twenty taels!

Seeing Cheng Feng about to leave, the shopkeeper seemed to suddenly remember something important, and hurriedly leaned close to Lin Xiong's ear and said a few words in a low voice.

After listening, Lin Xiong's face showed a trace of tangled expression. He looked at the shopkeeper with a puzzled look, as if asking: "Can this really work?"

After all, this is not like his usual style! However, considering the current predicament of the Lin family, Lin Xiong did not dare to easily assert that he would be able to win.

After a period of inner struggle, Lin Xiong finally made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "Young Master Cheng, please stop!"

Cheng Feng couldn't help but feel a little dizzy when he heard this shout. But he still stopped, turned around, and asked vigilantly: "Master Lin, what else is there?"

Lin Xiong forced a smile and said in a slightly reluctant tone: "I have long heard that Young Master Cheng is particularly fond of beautiful women. My Lin Mansion has also specially cultivated a few beauties. I wonder if Young Master Cheng would like to move to see them?"

Cheng Feng glanced at the shopkeeper standing aside with a smile, and replied without hesitation: "Thank you for the kindness of Master Lin, but I still have other important matters at hand and cannot go. Please forgive me, Master Lin." After speaking, he turned and left, not giving Lin Xiong another chance to speak.

Watching Cheng Feng walk out without looking back, a trace of gloom flashed in Lin Xiong's eyes. Do you really think that having a master behind you can protect you for a lifetime?

Just wait and see!
