He had returned from the cloth shop and was quite flustered to find the Lin Fu surrounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he soon learned the news from the crowd surrounding the estate: they were not there to cause trouble, but had witnessed Lin Fan display his divine might and easily defeat the Innate martial artist Shi Shi Huolong, and thus wanted to join the Lin Fu as guest retainers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arranging for the retainers to maintain order, Uncle Fu ran in to ask Lin Fan what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell the Landlord to go to the gate and select ten people with potential to enter my Lin Fu as guards. From now on, the training and management of the guards will be the Landlord's responsibility. By the way, Uncle Fu, how many servants do we have in the estate, and what is their monthly pay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master, there are currently eighteen maids, twenty guards, and fifteen menial servants. The maids and servants are hired for ten years at five hundred strings of cash. As for the guards, the monthly pay set by the Master was six strings of cash. The previous third-rate martial artist retainer, Liu Zong, received twenty strings of cash, and my monthly pay is fifteen strings!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Fu knew the affairs of the estate like the back of his hand and quickly informed Lin Fan of the basic situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"En. From now on, guest retainers must be at least Innate martial artists; everyone else counts as guards. Give each maid and servant a bonus of two strings of cash. Raise the guards' monthly pay to ten strings, third-rate martial artists to twenty-five, second-rate to fifty, first-rate to one hundred, and Innate martial artists to two hundred. The Landlord and Landlady—that is, Yang Guo and Little Dragon Maiden—are Grandmaster experts, so their monthly pay is five hundred strings. As for you, Uncle Fu, your monthly pay will be thirty strings from now on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What? The two guest retainers are actually Grandmaster martial artists? No wonder the Young Master fears no one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Rong, the other young ladies, and Uncle Fu were all shocked to hear this news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master, isn't my pay higher than a martial artist's now? Is that really appropriate?\" Uncle Fu asked with some hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Martial artists are nothing special; a third-rate martial artist has only just stepped onto the threshold of the martial path. Uncle Fu, you have worked hard and managed the Lin Fu well, so a slight increase in your pay is nothing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, from now on, keep the number of guards between thirty and fifty. There will be an annual assessment, survival of the fittest, also managed by the Landlord. Spending so much money to raise guards isn't for play; if the cloth shop runs into trouble in the future, just send the guards to find trouble for the other party!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fan said sternly. The monthly pay he offered was quite high, even in the Great Song, which had the strongest economic power. But he was not a fool with too much money; he expected results for the pay. Since these people accepted such high wages, they had to work wholeheartedly for the Lin Fu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, Young Master. I will go notify Guest Retainer Yang to go to the gate and select the guards!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Fu nodded to show he understood; he would do whatever the Young Master said without questioning it too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Fu went to find the Landlord, and Huang Rong leaned in toward Lin Fan, asking curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Fan, where did you find two Grandmaster martial artists to be guest retainers? That's too amazing, isn't it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One must know that her father, Huang Huang Laoxie, was only a Grandmaster martial artist, something she had always been proud of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They were both tired of the killing in the Jianghu, and seeing that I am as handsome as jade, they voluntarily came to my estate to be guest retainers and retire!\" Lin Fan said casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don't want to say, then don't. Only a ghost would believe you. Since when does a man's appearance attract people to come to his door!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Rong made a face at Lin Fan and then ran into the flower beds to catch butterflies. She didn't want to bother with Lin Fan anymore; he didn't even bother to come up with a good excuse, showing he wasn't putting any effort into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhu, Zhu Abi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fan called out softly, and the two young ladies immediately reacted and began to massage Lin Fan's shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lv He was not to be outdone and ran over to massage Lin Fan's legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Rong watched Lin Fan enjoying the massage from the three of them, her teeth itching with jealousy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About half an hour later, the Landlord walked in. \"Young Master, you really know how to find trouble for me. Can't you let me have a good rest?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? So you want to lie flat and be a salted fish?\" Lin Fan asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh, Young Master, that's an interesting term. I do indeed want to lie flat and be a salted fish; I don't want so many things to do. Is that allowed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Landlord thought about the \"salted fish\" Lin Fan mentioned, felt it perfectly summed up the state he wanted, and immediately agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not. If you lie flat, do you expect me, the Young Master, to work hard? Do you think if everyone were like you, what would the Lin Fu become? Only I am allowed to lie flat in the entire Lin Fu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fan refused without hesitation. The Landlord wanting to lie flat—how could that be allowed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you have to give me some money; I want to buy a gift for my wife!\" The Landlord tried another tactic since the first failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From now on, your and the Landlady's monthly pay will be five hundred strings. If you want it, go to Uncle Fu to withdraw it. But you'd better be using it to buy a gift for the Landlady, otherwise, watch out for the Landlady beating you to death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fan remembered that in *Kung Fu*, the Landlord was always peeking at Auntie Six bathing or taking advantage of Ah Zhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know if he was just playing around with the world or if he was truly lecherous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But regardless, it would make the Landlady angry, and she would definitely resort to violence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Landlord had thick skin and wouldn't be hurt, but if he broke the flowers and plants in the estate, that would be bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fan could only warn the Landlord first: if he broke the flowers and plants in the estate because of his antics, it would be deducted from his pay, and he shouldn't blame Lin Fan for not warning him in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's for sure, I love my wife the most! Unlike you, Young Master, you're so young and not learning anything good, sitting on four beauties. Can you handle it? I advise you to exercise some restraint, lest you end up like me when you're old, with the heart but not the strength!\" The Landlord began to nag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am young and full of fire, why do you care so much? Hurry up and train the guards and handle the assessments. It won't be long before I walk the Jianghu, and the safety of the estate will be handed over to you then!\" Lin Fan impatiently chased the Landlord away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Rong and the three young ladies were blushing furiously. What did the Landlord and the Young Master mean? When did they become Lin Fan's women? Only Lv He didn't care at all; if it weren't for the Young Master not agreeing, she would have been his woman long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she felt a sense of crisis, because apart from Huang Rong, who was about the same age as her—sixteen—Zhu and Zhu Abi were eighteen or nineteen. This fit the Young Master's requirements; what if those two snatched him first?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fan didn't know what was going on in Lv He's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out the Ziwei Soft Sword and began to practice the sword art from the Dragon Divine Art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First was the Eight Coiling Dragon Swords, then the Profound Heaven Gale Sword Art. Unfortunately, he didn't have a spear in hand, so the Dragon Cloud Spear Art couldn't be displayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young ladies were dazzled. If the Eight Coiling Dragon Swords displayed majesty and domineering power, then the Profound Heaven Gale Sword Art pushed speed and precision to the limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Rong couldn't help but compare it to her father Huang Huang Laoxie's Jade Flute Sword Art, only to find it far inferior. She wondered where Lin Fan had learned such a peerless sword art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Rong was too naive to compare the Jade Flute Sword Art with the Dragon Divine Art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon Divine Art was divided into nine levels. Unfortunately, Lin Fan's Dragon Divine Art was only at the entry level, which was the first level. Small success was the first three levels, great success was the middle three, and perfection was the last three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Dragon Divine Art required at least the seventh level to transform into a dragon; Lin Fan still had a long way to go. ===== CHAPTER 36 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1576,"2026-06-16T09:10:53.960Z","2026-06-16T09:21:38.651Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","4dd20f98b0526c2c3b1324ef1358bf341df2da21315714caae5765f20cbe9bea","writing-a-diary-in-the-comprehensive-wuxia-world-chapter-22","writing-a-diary-in-the-comprehensive-wuxia-world-chapter-20",525,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwriting-a-diary-in-the-comprehensive-wuxia-world-cover.jpg"]
