#407 - Chapter 407 The Price

Not to mention how Cai'er and the others were settling into their new residence in the Blackwood Manor.

The Lin family and their party were all wounded, but even with a small number of deaths, it could be considered a fortunate outcome amidst misfortune.

Looking at the man before him, with his white hair and face like frost,

Lin Xiong stepped forward, cupping his fist and saying, "Words cannot express our gratitude, Sect Leader Wei Zhuang. Regarding the matter of saving my Lin family today,

Once my Lin family has settled down, we will certainly offer a generous recompense."

Looking at Lin Xiong's attitude, Wei Zhuang seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his mouth lifted: "That won't be necessary. Although I was entrusted by someone, I am still the master of a sect.

That person also said that as long as I take action, the Lin family will surely give me a satisfactory explanation.

Wei has important matters to attend to and cannot wait for a later date,

I must trouble the Lin family head to take advantage of the presence of your brethren and settle the appearance fee!"

Lin Xiong looked at Wei Zhuang, who had a smile on his face, his mind somewhat crashing, as if he saw Cheng Feng smiling Yan Yan behind Wei Zhuang.

"What is the situation? Aren't Cheng Feng and my family's Wan'er deeply in love?? Why is the person he found making such exorbitant demands?"

Just as Lin Xiong was about to speak and try to build a relationship, Wei Zhuang directly placed his hand on Shark Tooth.

The originally gentle temperament suddenly became stern, and the Hongmen disciples behind him all gripped their blades in unison.

Looking at the Hongmen disciples, each with a fierce look in their eyes,

and the government soldiers who had not yet gone far in the distance,

Although Lin Xiong had a thousand doubts in his heart, he did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, after all, the cultivation of the person in front of him was stronger than all of these people.

Originally, he thought that Cheng Feng had invited someone over,

But looking at it now, it seems that there is another hidden story.

That's right, Wei Zhuang is a martial artist in the Viscera Training Realm,

Even if Cheng Feng invited him, he would have to pay a great price.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Xiong seemed to have found the source of the matter's development.

"This kid Cheng Feng really has strong connections."

Suppressing the shock in his heart, he turned to a steward beside him, who looked somewhat disheveled but still maintained his composure, and instructed, "Quickly, bring all the silver notes and valuables that our Lin family brought on this trip, and be sure to satisfy Sect Leader Wei Zhuang."

The family steward acknowledged the order and left, and Lin Xiong turned to Wei Zhuang again, forcing a smile: "Sect Leader Wei Zhuang, although my Lin family is not wealthy, we should offer everything we have to our savior."

Wei Zhuang waved his hand gently, the smile on his face even more pronounced, and a playful light flashed in his deep eyes: "Family Head Lin need not be so polite. This trip is long and arduous, and it's hard to say whether we'll meet again.

As for now, it's better to settle the accounts before us first."

As he spoke, the steward had returned in a hurry, holding a heavy wooden box in his hands.

Lin Xiong took the wooden box, opened it himself, and inside were neatly arranged silver notes and several pieces of jewelry flashing with a cold light.

He took a deep breath and pushed the wooden box towards Wei Zhuang: "This is all that my Lin family can currently offer. I hope Sect Leader will accept it with a smile."

Wei Zhuang glanced at the wealth in the wooden box, a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then with a wave of his hand, he put the wooden box into his arms: "Family Head Lin is indeed straightforward, then Wei will not disturb you any further. Brothers, let's go!"

With an order, the Hongmen disciples quickly assembled, each with sharp eyes, as if they were warriors returning from the battlefield.

They withdrew in an orderly manner, leaving the Lin family and their party stunned in place.

Lin Xiong looked at the departing backs of the Hongmen crowd, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

The government soldiers retreated, and the Hongmen people left.

Originally, it was thought that the Lin family would have to fight to the death,

But in the end, there was a turning point, truly a pity.

"Family Head, we've given away most of our trip's funds,

Isn't this giving too much?

Now we only have a few thousand taels left. I'm afraid this little bit of silver won't be enough to take care of so many people…"

Lin Xiong laughed loudly and said, "Shortsighted! Only when people are alive are there infinite possibilities.

At that critical moment just now, if we were not careful, our Lin family would have been gone.

Is it worth it to buy the lives of everyone in the Lin family present for a mere two hundred thousand taels?"

Lin Xiong gave the steward a little guidance,

and immediately reorganized the manpower and prepared to set off.

The silver taels prepared on hand were gone, but that didn't mean that he, the Lin family head, had no other means.

"Someone come, collect the bodies of the family disciples and then set off…"

"Yes, Family Head."

As the saying goes, the flower in the neighbor's garden is always more fragrant than one's own.

And Cheng Feng, who was enjoying the spring scenery in the Hongmen residence,

was still working hard to improve his cultivation.

Kung fu pays off!

Looking at the box sent by Wei Zhuang, with a wave of his hand, he put away the ticket box,

Originally, Cheng Feng didn't care about the life or death of the Lin family,

But since Lin Wan'er had already committed herself to the Cheng residence,

Even if they didn't get married and just went through the motions,

It seemed a little unreasonable not to pay attention.

Unexpectedly, it was a lucky strike, and he even did a business deal with his future father-in-law.

"Uncle Lin, don't worry, Wan'er will definitely not suffer here with me. These two hundred thousand will be considered Wan'er's dowry!"

After finishing his cultivation, ignoring the woman who had fallen asleep next to him,

Cheng Feng, having bathed and changed, sat in the gazebo of the Hongmen residence, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand,

His gaze passed through the layers of courtyards, seemingly looking in the direction of the Lin family and their party.

A faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth, but in his heart, he was secretly pondering the layout of the future.

"Two hundred thousand taels can also make up for the expenses in my mansion."

"Someone come, bring me the intelligence on Black Ear. I need to know the latest news about the Red Lotus Sect rebels."

The Hongmen guards standing in the courtyard immediately set off.

Looking at the somewhat serious Hongmen guards with explosive execution power,

Cheng Feng was very satisfied,

His plan did not require overly clever people,

He only needed execution power in place, and he could handle everything else himself!

It's just that arranging everything himself was a bit tiring.

Everything is for survival!!
