Chapter 184: A Huge Red Envelope

~11 min read 2,174 words

There is no banquet in the world that does not end; after staying at Duan Lang's home for a few days, Duan Fengyun and the others proposed to leave.

Duan Lang tried to persuade them to stay:

"Brother, stay for a few more days.

We haven't seen each other for a long time; let's drink for a few more days before leaving.

Once you leave this time, who knows when we will be able to meet again.

Don't you want to see more of Xiao Azheng?"

Duan Fengyun patted Duan Lang on the shoulder and smiled:

"A Lang, there is no banquet in the world that does not end.

We still have important business to attend to; once I bring back Youruo and Ruoruo and the others, I will definitely bring them to see you all again."

Duan Lang nodded, knowing that Duan Fengyun and the others certainly would not stay here for too long.

He went up and gave each of the four people, including Duan Fengyun, a big hug.

"Brothers, take care of yourselves!"

"You too, A Lang."

Watching the reluctant Duan Lang, Long Er jumped out to liven up the atmosphere:

"Uncle Lang, you gave them all hugs, why didn't you give me one?"

The playful Long Er's words immediately caused the group to burst into laughter.

Duan Lang stepped forward, patted Long Er on the head, and said:

"Good boy, Long Er, Uncle Lang certainly misses you too!

This is a little red envelope from Uncle Lang and Aunt Lang for you.

With this little red envelope, you can achieve personal financial freedom; you can buy whatever you want and eat whatever you want, and you won't have to be restricted by your father and the others anymore."

Duan Lang took a red envelope out of his pocket and stuffed it into Long Er's arms.

Finally having his own little treasury, Long Er said with wild joy:

"Many thanks, Uncle Lang, many thanks, Aunt Lang.

From today on, I also have my own little treasury."

Duan Fengyun rolled his eyes at this little ingrate from the side.

His look of wild joy made it seem as if he hadn't already been allowed to buy whatever he wanted and eat whatever he wanted.

With the talking mostly done, it was time for Duan Fengyun and the others to leave.

Under the gaze of Duan Lang and Wang Qiao'er, Duan Fengyun and the others rode off on fast horses.

"Brother, you must come and see us often."

Duan Lang shouted at the departing group.

Not long after they left, someone arrived from the Imperial Palace.

The general stopped his fast horse, and after dismounting, he bowed to Duan Lang and said:

"Duan University Scholar, may I ask where the Prince of Equal Rank and the others are?

The Supreme sent me to invite them to attend tonight's banquet; I hope you can help me convey this, Duan University Scholar."

Duan Lang shook his head and replied:

"You are too late!

My brother and the others have already left!"

After receiving a definitive answer from Duan Lang, the general had no choice but to return to report.

"Report, I inform the Supreme.

The Prince of Equal Rank and the others have already left the Duan Mansion."

The Supreme, who had been happy about the evening banquet in the Imperial Palace, saw his expression turn extremely poor the moment he learned that Duan Fengyun and the others had left.

He had originally intended to have his little prince take Duan Fengyun and the others as his masters during the banquet.

Since Duan Fengyun and the others had already accepted his title of Prince, it wouldn't be too much to ask them to take on a disciple, right?

But he did not expect that he was still a step too late; now Duan Fengyun and the others had already left.

Once Duan Fengyun returned to the Jianghu, it would surely be difficult to find him again.

The Supreme let out a long sigh and said:

"This is all fate."

And it was not just the Supreme who was disappointed; the little prince also wore a look of disappointment.

The Supreme had told the little prince about his plan and let the little prince prepare himself.

Upon learning that he could be taken as a disciple by Duan Fengyun and the others, the little prince was incredibly excited.

He had already begun to fantasize about how, after being taken as a disciple by Duan Fengyun, he would be able to easily defeat Long Er and then roam the Jianghu.

But reality had dealt him a heavy blow; it seemed he was destined to have no connection with Duan Fengyun and the others.

After leaving Huangcheng, Duan Fengyun and the others traveled at high speed.

They had already decided where their next stop would be while they were still in Huangcheng!

Having seen their old friends, it was time to revisit old places.

It was time to see the place where they had grown up together.

That was the former Under Heaven Society and the No God Absolute Palace; he wondered what they looked like now.

After traveling straight through, the four finally arrived at the old site of the Under Heaven Society.

The current Under Heaven Society was already scarred and in ruins everywhere.

It seemed that after the experiences of the Under Heaven Society and the No God Absolute Palace, this place had become a nightmare for others who wanted to dominate the Jianghu.

Because this place is where the master of Duan Fengyun and the other three studied, no one dared to build a power here again, so the abandoned site of the Under Heaven Society gradually fell into disrepair.

Duan Fengyun thought about how the chaos in the pugilistic world in the future was all because there was no powerful force to unify it.

Since that was the case, why didn't they establish a sect now? With the strength of the four of them, it would be hard for this sect not to develop.

So he spoke his thoughts aloud:

"Brother Shuang, Brother Feng, Brother Yun, I have a plan, and I don't know if you are willing to participate."

"Speak your mind!"

Qin Shuang said.

"Junior Brother Duan, go ahead.

Whatever plan you have, we will all support you."

Nie Feng said.

Bu Jingyun did not speak, but he nodded to show his affirmation.

Duan Fengyun stopped beating around the bush.

"I want to establish a force here, a force that truly belongs to us."

The taciturn Bu Jingyun spoke up at this moment:

"Junior Brother Duan, are you wanting to dominate the pugilistic world?"

At this moment, the thoughts of the three were surprisingly consistent; they all mistakenly thought that Duan Fengyun suddenly wanted to establish a force and then dominate the pugilistic world.

Duan Fengyun shook his head and answered solemnly:

"No.

It is because I discovered that if there is no powerful force to manage the pugilistic world, the entire pugilistic world will fall into chaos.

And I want to establish a force to manage the entire pugilistic world, to let the pugilistic world be free from strife!

Also, we have never had a fixed home, and this force will also be our home.

This is the original intention of why I want to establish this force. I don't know what you three brothers think."

"Junior Brother Duan, I didn't expect you to see so far ahead now.

It was us who misunderstood you."

Nie Feng and the others did not expect Duan Fengyun to think so far ahead, but after they thought about Duan Fengyun's words, they were indeed reasonable.

Back then, although Xiongba's Under Heaven Society upheld the principle of "those who submit prosper, those who resist perish," it stirred up disputes in the pugilistic world.

But after the Under Heaven Society completed the unification of the pugilistic world, the pugilistic world was indeed much more peaceful.

The four of them now finally understood the reason why Wuming wanted to stop them from killing Xiongba back then.

Indeed, with the Under Heaven Society suddenly collapsing, the entire pugilistic world lost its backbone and would definitely fall into a bloodbath once again.

"Then Junior Brother Duan, have you thought of a name for the force?"

Qin Shuang asked.

Duan Fengyun nodded and answered:

"I have already thought of it!

The name of the force shall be Dragon Gate!

I hope our Dragon Gate can be like a divine dragon, omnipotent, and able to command the various small fries in the pugilistic world.

And be able to twist into a rope to resist the enemy under the invasion of foreign enemies."

"Dragon Gate!

The carp leaps over the Dragon Gate; anyone who enters the Dragon Gate will be a dragon among men in the future.

Dragon Gate is good, a good name."

After Qin Shuang recited the name Dragon Gate, he slapped the table and praised it.

Now that there was a goal, it was time to put it into practice.

There was no need to choose an address; the old site of the Under Heaven Society was the most suitable.

And the most urgent task now was to recruit troops and horses and repair the current old site.

But before these two things, there was one more important thing, and that was to eat.

The few of them had traveled a long distance and hadn't drunk a drop of water, so they were already famished.

Led by the familiar Duan Fengyun, the group headed toward the market.

On the way, Duan Fengyun saw Long Er, who had been smiling the whole time, and asked:

"Long Er, how much red envelope money did your Uncle Lang and Aunt Lang give you?

Seeing you grinning all the way, this red envelope must be quite large."

Nie Feng and the others had the same doubt; Long Er had been grinning all the way, so it seemed the red envelope given by Duan Lang and Wang Qiao'er must be quite large.

Long Er made a face and said:

"I won't tell you, you guess!"

Duan Fengyun had no intention of guessing with him; he grabbed Long Er and took the red envelope Duan Lang gave him directly from Long Er's chest.

Duan Fengyun opened the red envelope and took a look; he was shocked by what he saw.

This Duan Lang and Wang Qiao'er were truly generous, giving Long Er such a large sum of money directly.

Nie Feng and the others were also taken aback when they saw the red envelope in Duan Fengyun's hand; this Duan Lang was truly generous.

Inside the red envelope were ten thousand taels of silver notes. No wonder Long Er couldn't stop smiling all the way; if it were anyone else seeing such large silver notes, they would probably be the same as Long Er.

Duan Fengyun suddenly realized that this seemed to be his own money.

So he gave Duan Lang money, and then Duan Lang took his money to play the good guy.

This guy Duan Lang is truly his "good" younger brother.

Duan Fengyun directly tucked the silver banknotes into his own bosom.

Seeing this scene, Long Er immediately began to shout and yell:

"Dad, you are shameless.

This is the red envelope Uncle Lang and Auntie Lang gave me; you are robbing a child's things."

Duan Fengyun laughed and said:

"How can a father taking his son's things be called robbing? This is called filial piety.

You can't use this much money right now, so Dad will keep it safe for you for now.

When you need to take a wife in the future, Dad will take it out for you to use as a betrothal gift."

"I don't want a wife, I only want my money.

Ah, Dad, you are shameless, you are robbing my money.

I am going back to tell Uncle Lang and Auntie Lang that you robbed my money."

Long Er continued to shout and yell.

Unable to stand it anymore, Duan Fengyun took a small-denomination silver banknote from his bosom and handed it to Long Er.

"This one is enough for you to use, right?

You take it and spend it first; if it's not enough, come find me for more.

That silver banknote from just now was indeed too large for you.

At your young age, carrying such a huge sum of money will easily attract unwanted attention."

After Long Er took the silver banknote from Duan Fengyun, his mood instantly turned from cloudy to sunny.

This small-denomination silver banknote was only small to Duan Fengyun.

But to Long Er, this was a one-hundred-tael silver banknote.

This was the first time in his life he could control such a large amount of money, so naturally, he was very happy.

After experiencing this little interlude, the group's already empty stomachs felt even hungrier.

In order to fill their stomachs, the group quickened their pace.
