Chapter 226: Wei Zhuang

Cheng Feng chose to manifest it directly; the card turned into fragments, and Wei Zhuang, a man of about twenty-one years old, dressed in black with striking white hair, appeared before Cheng Feng's eyes.

"Your subordinate pays respects to the Master," Wei Zhuang said, bowing deeply to Cheng Feng.

He is truly worthy of being Wei Zhuang; even his speech is cold.

Cheng Feng adjusted his breathing, ready to spring into action at any moment.

After all, this is a living, breathing person, not a robot programmed with instructions; even if his senses told him Wei Zhuang would never harm him, he still needed to maintain the caution one has when first meeting someone.

Cheng Feng did not lower his guard, but instead asked, "Where do you come from?"

"This subordinate does not remember past events," Wei Zhuang said coldly.

"Then do you still remember your cultivation techniques or swordsmanship?" Cheng Feng asked with hope in his eyes.

The brilliance of Wei Zhuang lies in his origins from the Ghost Valley, his extensive knowledge of the various schools of thought, and his mastery of both civil and military strategy; he is a talent capable of governing a nation.

"This subordinate only forgets past interpersonal relationships; I still remember my studies, military strategy, martial arts, and swordsmanship."

"Then what is your current realm?" Cheng Feng asked, even more excited.

Wei Zhuang replied silently, "This subordinate is currently at Bone Refining Perfection; relying on my swordsmanship, there should be no problem in contending against someone at the Organ Refining Initial Stage."

Hearing of Wei Zhuang's strength, Cheng Feng became even more excited.

Wei Zhuang thought his current strength was enough to crush all the local factions.

More importantly, Wei Zhuang could take his place as the acting Hong Sect Leader.

The current Hong Sect was basically built entirely by Cheng Feng's own hands.

But Cheng Feng knew his own limitations.

If all goes well, once he puts in more effort and the strength of the Hong Sect members doubles, the gang forces in Qingxi County will basically have nowhere to run.

The Hong Sect could certainly swallow them up, but without talent, monopolizing a county's gangs is already the limit.

Cheng Feng still remembered Wang Hu saying that the unwritten rule for county gangs is that the number of members cannot exceed one thousand.

But it was clear that the Hong Sect had already exceeded this, yet the Prefecture Army had not come.

Cheng Feng could only guess that they were tied up by matters related to the displaced refugees and had to defend the prefecture capital.

Once the refugee problem is solved, if Cheng Feng were the County Magistrate, he would not tolerate an unruly force in his territory.

It is just a matter of where you stand determining how you think.

Since he was already on the opposite side of the County Magistrate,

Cheng Feng still hoped to settle the planned matters as early as possible.

Even if it meant breaking up into smaller units later, it was still better than waiting for someone to come and attack; there is no logic in defending against a thief for a thousand days.

Cheng Feng asked again, "Then can your cultivation techniques and swordsmanship be taught to others?"

Wei Zhuang said helplessly, "Master, this subordinate's cultivation techniques are not suitable for others to learn, but as for the swordsmanship, this subordinate can teach some of it."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Feng was not too disappointed; in *The Legend of Qin*, Guiguzi also had to choose and select carefully before picking two successors of the Vertical and Horizontal schools.

If Wei Zhuang had said he could teach them, Cheng Feng would have been a bit uneasy.

Wei Zhuang should be that cold and aloof Wei Zhuang.

Cheng Feng communicated with Wei Zhuang for a while longer, and only after asking all the questions he could think of did Cheng Feng leave, feeling satisfied.

The appearance of Wei Zhuang made Cheng Feng value the Lucky Bag even more.

Although he did not know the principle behind it, the mere fact that the summoned characters were people he knew from his past life,

and that they could be used for his own purposes, was already an incredible thing.

That thing could grant both Fortune Points and Lucky Bags.

He could also continue his lineage.

This one wave was worth three, and Cheng Feng had truly won big.

At this moment, Cheng Feng truly had the confidence to face the chaotic times.

As long as he keeps having children, he can have More Children More Blessings.

It is worthy of being his talent.

Returning to the Cheng Mansion, Cheng Feng continued to work hard to add points.

Having drawn this SSR card of Wei Zhuang, he had to let the women feel this excitement.

The women thought their master was crazily happy because he had gained a precious son.

Little did they know that Cheng Feng had another unspeakable piece of good news that made him incredibly happy.

That night, Cheng Feng fought everywhere, sinking into a quagmire of love, unable to extricate himself.

After a night of fierce battle, he gained eighteen Fortune Points.

Cai'er, Cuier, Xiaohua, Chen Min, Lian Niang, plus the four great maids—

only these women could currently accept Cheng Feng's passion.

The next morning, Cheng Feng still rubbed his sore waist.

Effort and reward are not proportional!

For now, it can only be like this.

Cheng Feng had no heart to look for other women.

Aren't they just women with high aptitude?

Once the Hong Sect unifies Qingxi County and marches toward the prefecture capital, would he need to worry about not having any?

Cheng Feng had also inquired; there were women with aptitude, but the price was hard to describe.

Some evil paths specifically require harvesting women to achieve their own ends.

This also created this industry, which never worried about a lack of customers.

As long as you have good goods, you can make it anywhere.

The women were exhausted from last night and had not yet risen; Cheng Feng did not mind, as there was nothing he needed them to do, so what was wrong with giving them a day off?

Cheng Feng went straight to the Hong Mansion to pick up Wei Zhuang and brought him to the Hong Sect.

The disciples at the entrance of the Hong Sect saw the Sect Master being so courteous to the white-haired man beside him, and they could not help but stand a little straighter.

Cheng Feng had the disciples in the main hall call all of the Hong Sect's high-level members and Offerings to come for a meeting.

While sipping tea, the Hong Sect Fumen Wang Hu, the three hall masters Sun Gui, Zhou Hai, and Li Yang, the Offering Wu Feng, Ba Bai, and Cheng Yi all gathered in the hall.

As soon as everyone entered the main hall, they saw the cold, white-haired man sitting next to the Sect Master's deputy seat.

Not to mention his cold expression, his spiritual perception as a Martial Artist alone made everyone feel a sense of danger.

Wei Zhuang was, of course, intentionally radiating his aura to coordinate with Cheng Feng's actions today.

After everyone had taken their seats,

Cheng Feng first introduced Wei Zhuang to everyone, and then introduced the Hong Sect's high-level members to Wei Zhuang.

Seeing the Sect Master introduce everyone present so solemnly and in such detail,

everyone felt a sense of unease, though they could not say where the problem lay.

After the introductions were finished, Cheng Feng dropped a bombshell: "I intend to have Wei Zhuang lead the Hong Sect; I will hand my position over to him."

The crowd exploded as soon as they heard this.

"Sect Master, you cannot do this!"

"Sect Master, have you been coerced by someone?"

"You dog, I can tell just by looking at you that you're no good!"

The wave of opposition from the crowd gave Cheng Feng a slight sense of comfort; everything he had done still had a response.

Wu Feng went even further, saying directly: "You saved me, I only owe you, I don't owe anyone else."

The implication was that if you are not doing it, I am leaving.

Cheng Feng could not help but laugh and cry at the same time.

Wei Zhuang watched the scene before him, and on his cold face, there was a trace of a smile as he commented: "The cohesion is not bad."

Cheng Feng waved his hand to quiet everyone down: "You have all misunderstood. Wei Zhuang is a talent I specifically invited to lead everyone in dominating Qingxi County. He is only acting as a temporary agent, do you understand?"

Seeing the confused looks on everyone's faces, Cheng Feng said helplessly: "Wang Hu, you are the Fumen, tell everyone about the current situation of the Hong Sect."

Wang Hu stood up and cupped his fists: "Yes, Sect Master."

Just as Wang Hu was about to explain,

Wei Zhuang interjected: "No need for such trouble. You are just unconvinced, right? Let's just have a fight."

Seeing that no one moved, Wei Zhuang provoked them: "What? You don't dare? Is this all the courage the Hong Sect's high-level members have? Where did your courage from just a moment ago go?"

Sun Gui and Zhou Hai were veterans of the Hong Sect with fiery tempers; upon hearing Wei Zhuang's taunt, they slammed the table and stood up: "Come on, let's fight then!"
