"Master, now that we have money, why do we still need to take on other businesses?" Sanyang asked, puzzled.
Qian Kai waved his hand and laughed, "This Master Tan is considered a big family in the area, and he's very generous. If we want to gain a foothold in Renjia Town, it's always good to build good relationships with these prominent families."
San Yang nodded in sudden realization, "I understand now, Master is so thoughtful... I'll go now."
After saying that, the two parted ways and disappeared into the bustling streets, one on the left and one on the right.
……
Su Feng sat motionless in the chair. Qian Kai and his apprentice had been gone for a while, but he was still staring intently at the half-open door.
No matter how perfect your plan is, you can always overlook one thing...
A cold smile twisted his face, his eyes chillingly sharp. "This move is a gross underestimation of me."
They actually gave themselves seven days to prepare!
These seven days were enough to become the final countdown of Qian Kai's life!
"Thinking you can control me forever because you have the Corpse Refining Sect as leverage? What a joke."
Su Feng is not the kind of coward who would be afraid of trouble!
For safety reasons, we don't want to make a big deal out of this today.
If a fight breaks out, innocent bystanders will inevitably be affected, and then there will be big trouble.
Therefore, waiting is the best approach at present.
Once the rest of my skills are complete, I'll find a secluded and quiet spot to have some fun with him and get back the two hundred silver dollars I earned today, with interest.
"Master, are you okay?"
A sweet voice rang in his ears, and Su Feng slowly came back to his senses. He turned his head and saw Chen Yue standing beside him with a worried expression.
"Young Master, has something happened?"
Chen Yue spoke with concern.
When she came over, she saw that Su Feng's expression was cold and eerie, a far cry from his usual gentle older brother image.
It was so unfamiliar.
"What could possibly be wrong with me? You're overthinking it." Su Feng's smile returned as he stood up and patted Chen Yue's head. "Why aren't you cultivating at this hour? Have you forgotten what I told you?"
"Chen Yue hasn't forgotten." Chen Yue gently shrank his neck, feeling the warmth above his head, and gave a faint smile. "It's just that Chen Yue saw that Young Master looked preoccupied, so I thought I could help in some way..."
"Silly girl, if you cultivate diligently and keep an eye on Chen Xing, you'll be doing me a huge favor."
After giving a few instructions, Su Feng stretched and walked out of the courtyard.
"Is young master still going out so late?"
Chen Yue hurriedly followed to the door and pressed for an answer.
Su Feng nodded without comment. "You just focus on your cultivation, don't worry about anything else... Tell Uncle Fu that I won't be back tonight."
As he spoke, his figure passed through the gate and quickly disappeared into the night.
Watching that tall figure disappear into the distance, Chen Yue looked somewhat dazed.
"Young Master must be troubled by something..."
Otherwise, she wouldn't have made such a terrifying expression.
However, she is completely unable to help at this moment, and cannot even share her burdens.
"It's just that I'm not capable enough."
Chen Yue lowered her head, biting her lower lip, and sighed with self-reproach, "If only I could help the young master."
……
at the same time!
Qian Kai arrived at the Tan residence.
As he expected, Master Tan was indeed a wealthy family, with his mansion decorated in a luxurious and high-class style both inside and out.
It felt like entering a fairyland, surrounded by the scent of money.
After the butler announced his arrival, he followed the butler's thin figure straight through the garden to the backyard.
In the pavilion by the pond, Master Tan was leisurely drinking tea, with several dignified and beautiful servants attending to him.
"Master, the person has been brought here," the butler said respectfully.
Mr. Tan slowly put down his teacup and waved for the servants and butler to leave.
"You must be Master Qian?" Master Tan asked, sitting upright without raising his eyes.
His arrogant attitude slightly displeased Qian Kai, but he still respectfully responded.
"The reason I called you here tonight is simple: I want you to help me get rid of someone."
Master Tan picked a grape from the plate and put it in his mouth, saying as he ate.
Qian Kai raised an eyebrow, immediately understanding the meaning, but smiled and said, "Does Master Tan mean that he wants me to break my vow of not killing? That might not be a good idea?"
"Hmph, no need to pretend to be in a difficult position. I know you, Qian Kai, have always been someone who only cares about money and won't do anything for money."
As he spoke, Master Tan took out a cloth bag from under the stone bench, placed it on the table, and opened it in front of Qian Kai.
For a moment, the golden object shimmering inside the bag startled Qian Kai.
"If you help me get rid of Zhang Dadan who lives at the village entrance, these two pieces of gold are yours..."
He listened to the words, but Qian Kai's eyes never left the glittering gold in the bag; it was dazzling and eye-catching.
"So, are you going to do this job or not?"
"I have cultivated for decades, all for the sake of all living beings. Now that Master Tan is in trouble, how could I stand idly by?"
With a smile, Qian Kai slowly took his seat. Seeing that Master Tan did not object, he reached out and picked up the gold from the cloth bag.
It was cold and heavy... which made his heart tremble.
This was the wealth he had always dreamed of.
"Hehe, very good. This is just a deposit. I will have more after the matter is settled..." Master Tan looked into the distance, a sinister smile on his face, and muttered, "Zhang Dadan, Zhang Dadan, what do you have to fight me with? How can you, a poor wretch, be worthy of such a beautiful wife? You should just accept your fate."
Qian Kai withdrew his gaze from Jinzi, glanced up at Master Tan who was muttering to himself, and sneered inwardly.
As expected, he was a lecherous old man. As rumored, he had an affair with the wife of that unlucky Zhang Dadan. When the affair was exposed, he was worried about the damage to his reputation, so he spent a lot of money to hire him to solve the problem.
However, money can make the devil turn the millstone, and money can even make the immortals give up their seats.
As long as he gets this gold, he'll kill whoever he wants!
……
Dark clouds covered the moon, and a flock of crows hung overhead, cawing.
Under the faint moonlight, Su Feng returned to the banana grove.
He first went to check on Ren Weiyong inside the renovated thatched hut.
Fortunately, no problems arose, the body was still there, and Qian Kai had not tampered with it.
After confirming that the formation was correct, Su Feng went around to the newly built shed behind the thatched hut.
The four-meter-high ceiling is fitted with a huge wooden door. Below the door is a talisman, which was specially placed there before we left yesterday to prevent the demonic ape inside from escaping.
After tearing open the talisman, Su Feng pushed open the door and entered.
The dimly lit room was filled with a sour, foul smell, the odor emanating from the fur of the demon ape.
“Squeak squeak squeak——”
The demon ape noticed the door was open and quickly stood up from the corner, ready to rush out.
But when he caught a glimpse of Su Feng standing in the center of the door, the urge to act was forcibly suppressed.
"How have you been all day?"
Su Feng smiled and stared at the demon ape with great interest.
"Squeak..."
The demonic ape had lost its previous ferocity. Upon seeing Su Feng again, it became somewhat timid, sitting down cautiously with its eyes darting around, completely avoiding direct eye contact.
“I originally planned to deal with you after I finished reading the Complete Book of Corpse Refining, but now there’s not much time left…” Su Feng crossed his arms, his expression extremely grim.
"I know you are spiritually gifted and can understand my words. I'll give you two choices: either be killed by me, and your thousand years of cultivation will be wasted, or work for me, and from now on I will be your master!"
Su Feng's attitude was firm, giving the demon ape no time to consider.
After all, Qian Kai's appearance disrupted his plans and disturbed his peaceful life.
He didn't want to get too involved in these trivial matters, but since an enemy had attacked, he couldn't just sit and wait to die.
Therefore, he couldn't wait for the Complete Guide to Corpse Refining; he had to take care of these matters today!
Moreover, after Lu Ban completed the second volume, he had mastered all the techniques within it!
One of them, the Blood Curse, also has the effect of controlling living things!
Once cast, it is equivalent to forming a "contract" with the target and controlling the blood in their body. If the target later has any disloyalty, the blood essence in the cursed person's body will be burned, causing unbearable pain until death!
When Su Feng first learned about the Blood Curse, he thought it was similar to the Tightening Curse and could be used on the demon ape.
In this way, he becomes even more like Tang Sanzang...
"How about it? You've already tasted my divine curse. Killing you is as easy as turning my hand. Of course, if you feel resentful about being subservient to others, you're welcome to fight me. I'll let you die a quick death!"
Despite Su Feng not releasing any spiritual energy, his words caused the demon ape to tremble, and its flickering gaze finally settled on a certain spot.
"Squeak..."
It already understood; at this moment, it had no other choice.
Whether it's the worship of power or the fear of Su Feng.
It faced only two paths: life or death.
Thump—(de de)—
The demonic ape slowly lay down, crouching towards Su Feng, its forehead touching the ground, making unintelligible noises.
