Chapter 56: Feng Wuxie's Predicament

  Outside Luoyue Town, two people rode horses and came. The soldiers guarding the town were about to stand up and block them, but suddenly retreated because they saw Feng Wuxie.

  The two rushed into Luoyue Town, Xu Hua took a look at the soldiers guarding the city and the pedestrians around, then said to Feng Wuxie: "It seems that Brother Feng's status in this place is not small!"

  Feng Wuxie smiled lightly, looking rather proud of himself, and said: "Brother Xu, you'll find out later that I'm far more formidable than you think!"

  Xu Hua's eyes flashed with a hint of curiosity, the wind brother in front of him was not very capable, but his tone was quite arrogant, it seemed that the Wind Merchant House was not simple in Qing City that day!

  Hmph!

  Before long, the two of them arrived at the Tianfeng Chamber of Commerce branch in Luoyue Town. The guards at the entrance immediately ran over to see Feng Wuxie and said, "Greetings, Master."

  "Xiao Bai is still fifty miles away on the road, go find someone to pick up that batch of goods." Feng Wuxie instructed, then immediately turned to Xu Hua and said: "Brother Xu, please!"

  Xu Hua dismounted and nodded, the guards immediately helped the two lead their horses away, retreating to one side. Xu Hua followed Feng Wuxie into the main entrance of the Tianfeng Chamber of Commerce branch.

  As he walked in, Xu Hua found that the entire Tianfeng Business Firm was very large, filled with all sorts of counters and goods, but there wasn't a single person. This surprised Xu Hua somewhat, so he asked: "Feng brother, why isn't there a single customer?"

  Feng Wuxiaodao: "I just arrived in Luoyue Town, and the Tianfeng Chamber of Commerce branch has not been officially established yet. It will only be formally opened after a few days."

  "I see." Xu Hua nodded.

  Many people respectfully addressed him as Lord after seeing Feng Wuxie. Feng Wuxie finally brought Xu Hua to the reception hall in the backyard.

  The two sat down separately, and the maid made a cup of fragrant tea for each of them.

  "Brother Xu, I suppose you're also a big shot in Luocheng?" Feng Wuxie looked at Xu Hua with great curiosity.

  Xu Hua shook his head and smiled bitterly: "As a famous figure, if I were to appear in Luocheng, I'm afraid countless strong men would immediately come after me."

  "Wow……" Feng Wuxie was unexpectedly surprised, and when he looked at Xu Hua, he didn't seem to have too much worry. Instead, his heart was filled with even more surprise, and he said: "It seems that Brother Xu's abilities are all self-cultivated, truly impressive! In my Qingcheng, among the younger generation, there aren't many who can compare to Brother Xu. Moreover, most of them rely on their family's nurturing to have such strength. In my opinion, Brother Xu is far stronger than those so-called top geniuses in Qingcheng."

  "It's just a bit of luck, if it wasn't for some luck, I would have died long ago! As the son of such a small family, I was born with many helplessness!" Xu Hua said with emotion.

  "Life is unfair from the start, but in some ways it's also fair. After all, the younger sons of small families have their own helplessness, and the younger sons of large families have their own helplessness."

  "These I naturally understand, perhaps the younger generation of a large family has more difficulties than those in a small family can imagine, but they have obtained what the younger generation of a small family envies and cannot reach. Existing in this world, they have too many advantages over the younger generation of a small family." Xu Hua somewhat agreed with Feng Wuxie's words, but he also had another perspective.

  "I agree with what you said, but the shackles of a small family are smaller and easier to break. The two of them seemed to be very emotional, chatting and talking more."

  Xu Hua smiled wryly and said: "I don't think so..."

  Just then, a maid outside the door suddenly called out: "Master, Zhao Tianbo of the Tiansword Sect and Huajitaiji of the Absolute Knife Skill have come to pay their respects."

  "Feng Ge, if it's inconvenient, I'll leave first." Xu Hua said.

  Feng Wuxie smiled and shook his head, saying, "No need, I'll introduce some of the young heroes from Qingcheng to Brother Xu." He then called out towards the outside of the door, "Let them come in!"

  Before long, two bright and cheerful laughs came from the entrance, a white-clad young master and a purple-clad young master walked in together, facing Feng Wuxie and saying: "Brother Feng, I didn't expect you to be here too."

  "Brother Zhao, Brother Hua, please sit down." The three of them had always gotten along well, so there wasn't too much unnecessary courtesy.

  The two did not sit down immediately, but looked at Xu Hua and asked Wind No Evil: "Brother Feng, I didn't expect you to have a guest. Who is this?"

  "This is Xu Hua, Xu brother. Today I was robbed on the road, if it wasn't for Xu brother, my loss would be great!" Then Feng Wuxie turned to Xu Hua and said: "This one wearing white clothes is Zhao Tianbo, Zhao young master, this one wearing purple clothes is Hua Taigi, Hua brother, both are prominent figures in Qingcheng, you know each other."

  "How dare someone rob Feng Xiong? Don't they want to live anymore? The fourth young master of Tianfeng Business Firm dares to be robbed, what kind of people are they?"

  Feng Wuxie slightly shook his head and said nothing. Zhao Tianbo and Hua Taigi exchanged a glance, as if they had guessed something, but immediately dropped the topic and focused on this young man they had never seen before. Their eyes revealed a look of surprise, for in their impression, the fourth son of the Tianfeng Chamber of Commerce was quite discerning, and any task that could catch his eye must not be underestimated. Hua Taigi then said: "I don't know where Brother Xu is from, why I haven't heard of him before."

  "Brother Zhao, Brother Hua, I am not a native of Qingcheng, and today is also my first time entering the territory of Qingcheng." Xu Hua said with a slight smile, seeing their expressions, it seemed that these three people's status in Qingcheng were not simple.

  "So that's how it is." Zhao Tianbo and Hua Taigong nodded in unison, for the outstanding young generation of Qingcheng, how could there be anyone they didn't know?

  "How did you two have time to come here today?" Feng Wuxie asked directly.

  Zhao Tianbo sighed and said, "The situation is not good. Feng Wuqing has formally won over a few of the top ten disciples of my Tiandao Sect in the past few days, which is why I've come to inform you."

  "The wind has no intention of sparing me, and it has also pulled in a few elites from the Absolute Blade Palace." Hua Taiji's expression was serious, indicating that the situation was not optimistic.

  As expected, after hearing the two pieces of news, Feng Wuxie fell silent, and the entire hall became extremely quiet. Xu Hua didn't know what was going on, but he could tell that Feng Wuxie's situation was not good at all, so he spoke up: "Isn't Brother Feng in trouble? Do you need my help?"

  Zhao Tianbo and Hua Taigi both looked at Xu Hua, not knowing what made him so confident. Feng Wuxie glanced at Xu Hua with a bitter expression and said: "Brother Xu, these matters are related to the several major forces in Qingcheng, it's not something that one or two people can resolve. If you get involved, perhaps you won't be able to stay in Qingcheng either."

  Xu Hua was taken aback for a moment, then said: "Well, tell me about the situation, and if I can help, I'll definitely help."

  Feng Wuxie looked at Xu Hua, extremely moved, but didn't say anything. Some things are better left unspoken in one's heart. "Firstly, let me tell you about the main forces of Qingcheng!"

  "In the Qingcheng, there are countless large and small forces, but only four truly powerful forces. The City Master's Mansion Jiangshi, the Tianfeng Business Firm, the Tianshen Sect, and the Juedao Palace. The City Master's Mansion Jiangshi doesn't need to be mentioned, as they have inherited the position of Qingcheng's city master, and are nominally the overlord of Qingcheng, with absolute strength.

  Next is my Tianfeng Business Firm. My Tianfeng Business Firm mainly engages in commerce, and we do any business that makes money. Our firm's assets are all over Qingcheng, and in recent years, we have even expanded our business to places outside of Qingcheng. We possess countless resources, and naturally, there are also many strong individuals, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to protect these resources.

  The Tianshen Sect and the Juedao Palace are the two strongest sects in Qingcheng. Their strength and foundation are slightly weaker than those of the City Master's Mansion and my Tianfeng Business Firm, but the difference is not too great."

  "Brother Zhao and Brother Hua are disciples of these two major sects, aren't they?" Xu Hua still remembered what the two had said earlier.

  "Not bad, as for me, you should have guessed it too. My father is the owner of Tianfeng Business Firm, and I am the fourth son in my family, so I am called Fourth Young Master. The two people Zhao brother and Hua brother mentioned earlier are my third and second brothers, but our relationship is not good. They always see me as a thorn in their eyes."

  Xu Hua suddenly understood that such things were not uncommon in families.

  "In four years, the Tianfeng Chamber of Commerce will have to elect a new leader, and the candidates are us four brothers. However, my eldest brother, Feng Wujiu, is obsessed with martial arts and doesn't plan to participate, so the next leader will be chosen among the three of us. Originally, we were evenly matched, but now I'm at a disadvantage."

  "It seems that I can't help much now." Xu Hua also understood Feng Wuxie's meaning, and this time he needed the support of various forces more than ever.

  "Xu brother has a good heart, if this were to implicate Xu brother, it would be bad." Feng Wuxie smiled lightly, but Xu Hua could see the unrest in his eyes.

  "Feng Xiong, what should we do now? Everyone is waiting for your decision." Zhao Tianbo and Hua Taigong said.

  "Let's take it one step at a time, after all, we haven't reached the end of the road yet."

  Xu Huadong said: "Feng brother, there are still four years left. At that time, I might be able to help you out."

  In four years' time, Xu Hua believed that he would definitely become a martial emperor strongman and still be the top strongman among the martial emperors.

  "I'll take my leave then, thank you Xu brother." However, Feng Wuxie didn't have too much hope for Xu Hua and immediately asked: "Xu brother, your current situation in Luocheng is not good, what do you plan to do?"

  "Let's hide for a while! After all, I don't have the strength to make an enemy of the entire Luocheng right now." Xu Hua seemed rather nonchalant.

  Zhao Tianbo and Hua Taigi heard this and curiously asked: "Does Brother Xu have some trouble now?"

  "It's not that troublesome, it's just that some people have been deceived, making all the big and small forces in Luocheng want to take away the illusory treasure from me. Fortunately, the five overlords of Luocheng haven't made a move, and I'm not afraid of other forces either." Although Xu Hua said so, he still had some worries.
