Chapter 410: Staying for the Night

With Cheng Feng's invisible show of force,

the officials who had originally intended to extort some profit also restrained themselves significantly.

In this world where the Martial Dao flourishes,

the strong are, by definition, the privileged.

Otherwise, one might wake up one night to find their head missing without even knowing why.

The soldiers began to put on a show of searching the residence everywhere.

Perhaps because of the banknotes,

they didn't even step one foot into the Rear Courtyard.

Cheng Feng observed everything from the shadows, pondering the significance behind this in his heart.

Cheng Feng trusted Leng Feng's ability to handle matters, but for soldiers to come and inspect so soon after their arrival,

it was just too much of a coincidence!

After a while, the soldiers returned empty-handed.

The leading soldier glared at Leng Feng, "Consider yourselves lucky. If I ever find out you dare to harbor rebels, you'll have a hard time." Having said that, he left with his men.

Leng Feng breathed a sigh of relief and returned to Cheng Feng's side, "Sect Master, it seems they came looking for trouble on purpose."

Cheng Feng nodded.

"For the next period of time, be careful in all actions. Don't rush to deal with the affairs of the Rowing Gang; I have my own plans."

Leng Feng cupped his fists: "Yes, Sect Master."

Cheng Feng emphasized: "Not Sect Master, it is Master Cheng. The current Sect Master is Wei Zhuang."

Leng Feng: "Yes, Master."

Seeing Leng Feng hesitate to speak,

Cheng Feng said: "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you acting so coy?"

Leng Feng pondered for a moment and replied in a low voice: "Master, in my view, there is definitely something fishy behind this.

We have already been very careful in our actions,

yet now the soldiers have visited suddenly and specifically mentioned rebels.

I fear someone wants to use this to stir up trouble or test our background."

"What do you mean?"

"Your subordinate guesses it is about the previous matter regarding the Freelance Boat Gang.

I fear some people have already started paying attention."

Cheng Feng nodded slightly, having already made a calculation in his heart: "Indeed, the Iron Boat Gang's influence has grown in recent years, and it is inevitable that it would attract jealousy. However, this method is far too clumsy.

Leng Feng, strengthen the security within the residence, and at the same time, keep an eye on the movements of local gangs, especially regarding the Iron Boat Gang and the Jiangshui Gang."

"Yes, Master. I will go arrange it now." Leng Feng received the order and was about to turn and leave, but was called back by Cheng Feng.

"Wait, tell the brothers below,

here are ten thousand taels in banknotes; take them and set up a few more secret outposts."

Looking at the banknotes before him, Leng Feng received the order and left.

Cheng Feng had originally intended to leave tonight,

after all, the matters of the Hong Sect and his own master had not yet been settled.

But given the current situation, it would be better to stay for one night.

After carefully patrolling the residence that Cai'er had newly purchased,

he then strolled leisurely toward the Rear Courtyard.

After all, since Senior Sister, Cai'er, and the others had worked so hard, how could he not reward them?

Inside the main room of the new residence,

Zhao Wei, Cai'er, and other women from the first group to arrive had already gone to sleep,

while some were holding onto inexplicable expectations.

Beneath their graceful figures, they were wearing the silk feast attire that their master loved most.

He chatted idly with Zhao Wei and Cai'er.

Cai'er had specially customized the bedding in the main room,

so that twenty people could sleep on it without any problem.

She also knew the minds of the sisters,

so naturally, she wouldn't say anything more.

As long as the Principal Wife in name did not speak up,

she was naturally happy to be at leisure; there was no need to offend anyone, right?

Cheng Feng walked slowly into the Rear Courtyard; in the night, his figure appeared exceptionally steady.

Moonlight filtered through the treetops, dappling the ground and adding a touch of mystery to the quiet night.

He gently pushed open the door and walked into the main room; the candlelight inside flickered, reflecting a warm and ambiguous atmosphere.

His wives and Concubines were all there, and the atmosphere was warm.

Even the two sisters, Hua Kai and Hua Xie, who were usually quite distant, were among them.

This was exactly what Cheng Feng wanted to see.

Integrating into this big family

was the most practical course of action for the two of them.

Zhao Wei, Cai'er, and the others were talking in low voices, and seeing Cheng Feng enter, they all stood up one after another to salute.

Cheng Feng smiled and waved his hand, "Everyone sit down, there is no need to be so formal."

He looked around, expressing his satisfaction with Cai'er's thoughtful arrangement; the bedding looked truly spacious and comfortable, enough to accommodate everyone.

"Cai'er, you are handling matters with increasing propriety," Cheng Feng praised, his tone carrying a hint of approval.

Upon hearing this, a blush spread across Cai'er's face, and she whispered, "Thank you for the praise, Master; this is only what this servant should do."

Zhao Wei smiled from the side, a trace of complex emotion flashing in her eyes that was difficult to detect, but she quickly returned to calm. She asked softly, "Master, the government soldiers visited suddenly tonight; has something happened?"

Cheng Feng's expression tightened slightly upon hearing this, then relaxed again, "It is nothing, just some small fry wanting to probe our background."

"Perhaps it is because there are quite a few of us,"

"And we are new to this place,"

"It is inevitable that some would want to come and fish for benefits."

Cai'er was terrified upon hearing this and could not help but interject, "Then Master, what should we do?"

Cheng Feng smiled, his tone full of confidence: "Do not worry, I have my own countermeasures. Leng Feng has already gone to strengthen the guard; we only need to act cautiously and wait to see how things develop."

Zhao Wei nodded; she believed in Cheng Feng's ability and also believed in her own strength.

It was just that the pugilistic world was treacherous, and she could not help but feel some worry in her heart.

Cheng Feng seemed to see through her thoughts and comforted her softly: "Wei'er, rest assured, with me here, nothing will happen to the prefecture."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wei felt a warmth in her heart; she looked at Cheng Feng, her eyes sparkling with a firm light.

She knew that no matter what difficulties they encountered, as long as Cheng Feng was there, she had the confidence to face everything.

The rest of the people were not very broad-minded, but they could also hear that the situation in this new environment at Heimu Prefecture was unstable.

But as long as their master had confidence, that was enough.

"No need to overthink it, come, come, come, tonight, let us have a good time."

Having said that, he began to take the initiative to loosen his clothes and belt.

Everyone revealed knowing smiles one after another.

This was the true nature of the master!!

The night grew deep, and the candlelight gradually dimmed.

The gorgeous brocade garments of the crowd slid off.

Revealing proud figures.

The close-fitting undergarments had all undergone special treatment.

But it did not hinder Cheng Feng from his business; it only added to the fun.

Clothes of various colors.

Makeup of various styles.

Amidst the depths of a thousand charms and beauties.

Even an Immortal would find it all in vain.

Cheng Feng's silk-clad feast suddenly began.

Cheng Feng: "This is a form of cultivation!"
