Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

144: The fish takes the bait, and the golden knife appears!The twenty thousand taels Chuanjie shouted was quite shocking; after all, twenty thousand taels was indeed a very high price to spend a night with a dancer!

A silence fell over Fengze Garden, leaving only the Madam’s excited voice:

“Twenty thousand taels of silver! Does anyone else wish to bid? If not, Miss Chun Yue will spend the night with this young master!”

The Madam called out twice, and seeing the guests’ conflicted expressions but no further bids, she hastily had someone invite Chuanjie to the second floor.

“So it’s you. I was waiting to see which unlucky fool would come up so I could knock him unconscious!”

Shangguan Zhuiyue lay half-reclined on the bed without any regard for her image, her shapely curves drawing attention. She glanced at Chen Chuanjie and continued to sample the grapes on the table.

“Miss Shangguan is taking action for the sake of my Chen family; naturally, I wouldn’t want you to be harassed by others!”

Chen Chuanjie sat on a chair and said to Shangguan Zhuiyue with a smile.

“In your Chen family, you’re the only one who counts as a good person. Your eldest brother is fierce and overbearing, your second brother is insidious and ruthless, and your father is even more of a scheming old fox. Only you have a bit of character!”

Shangguan Zhuiyue propped her long legs up on the table, critiquing the members of the Chen family while eating grapes.

“Please do not speak nonsense, Miss. My family members are all good people; you might have some misunderstandings. If you are interested, I can tell you about our family’s history so you can understand us better!”

Chen Chuanjie frowned; he naturally couldn’t bear to hear others disparage his relatives, so he wanted to explain.

“Sure! The night is long, and it’s a bit boring for the two of us to just sit here. Pour me a cup of wine, and I’ll listen to your story while I drink!”

Shangguan Zhuiyue arched an eyebrow. She had been feeling a bit bored and figured letting Chen Chuanjie tell a story would provide some amusement.

“Alright. The story begins with a farming household...”

Chen Chuanjie picked up the wine jug, poured a cup into Shangguan Zhuiyue’s Luminous Cup, and began to recount the Chen family’s experiences over the past decades!

Shangguan Zhuiyue listened with great interest. The story of a peasant from the lowest level of society, constantly struggling, facing powerful enemies, enduring several twists and turns, and finally successfully becoming a Qi Refining Immortal Clan was authentic and inspiring enough.

While Chen Chuanjie and Shangguan Zhuiyue were chatting happily, Chen Changsheng and the others downstairs finally saw their target arrive.

The doors of Fengze Garden were pushed wide open, and a richly dressed young man, followed by several subordinates, walked in swaggeringly.

“Madam, get over here!”

The young man was not polite at all, shouting loudly at the Madam in the garden.

“Oh, Young Master Lan, your presence is a great honor. Please forgive my lack of a proper welcome!”

The moment the Madam saw the young man, she shuddered and hurriedly walked toward him.

“Is this man Lan Jiuying’s Grandson, Lan Wu?”

Chen Changsheng narrowed his eyes, looking at the arrogant young man, and asked Zhao Song beside him.

“That’s right, it’s him. I didn’t expect him to come so quickly; my mole only let him learn of Miss Shangguan’s name today!”

A flash of hatred crossed Zhao Song’s eyes as he stared at Lan Wu’s figure and spoke in a low voice.

“Haha, as they say, the word ’lust’ has a blade over it. Since he’s so lecherous, he deserves to fall into our pocket.”

“Eldest brother, Zhao Song, you two go and lie in wait on the second floor. Seeing how impatient he is for beauty, he’ll likely head straight there!”

Chen Changsheng laughed, glanced at Lan Wu, and spoke to the two men beside him.

Chen Chuanwu and Zhao Song nodded, left their seats, and quietly went up to the second floor.

“I heard a Miss Chun Yue has arrived here, looking like a celestial maiden descended to earth. Call her out so I can see for myself!”

Lan Wu was not polite, directly commanding the Madam. Her expression turned a bit awkward as she hurriedly said:

“Young Master Lan, Miss Chun Yue has already been booked for tonight. A noble guest spent twenty thousand taels of silver; it’s really not convenient to call her out right now!”

Hearing this, Lan Wu immediately became interested. A faint flush appeared on his pale face.

“Twenty thousand taels? That’s quite a sum. Now I definitely have to see if this Miss Chun Yue is worth those twenty thousand taels of silver!”

Saying this, he pushed the Madam aside and headed toward the second floor.

“Young Master, you can’t! They’ve already paid the silver; we can’t break the rules!”

The Madam had a bitter look on her face as she tried to stop Lan Wu, but she unexpectedly provoked his temper, and he kicked her straight to the ground.

“Damn it, I gave you face. You dare talk about rules in front of me? My, Lan Wu’s, rules are the rules!”

After speaking, Lan Wu led his subordinates upstairs with his head held high.

In the room on the second floor, Shangguan Zhuiyue was giggling at Chuanjie’s stories about Chuanwu’s childhood blunders when the door was suddenly burst open.

Lan Wu barged in with his subordinates. The moment he entered, he saw Shangguan Zhuiyue laughing so hard she was trembling, and his eyes immediately glazed over!

Shangguan Zhuiyue was already exceptionally beautiful, and combined with her figure-hugging clothes and her exquisite face flushed from laughter, she was practically a man-killer.

That old lecher Lan Wu felt as if his heart had stopped beating!

“Truly a peerless beauty!”

Lan Wu exclaimed in admiration, then squinted at Chen Chuanjie and said disdainfully:

“A beauty like this is someone you can get close to? Get lost, now!”

Chen Chuanjie was so angry he laughed; he really wanted to teach Lan Wu a lesson, but for the sake of the plan, he could only suppress his rage and leave the room with his head down.

“Little beauty, don’t be afraid. My name is Lan Wu, and I’m very gentle. Let me take good care of you!”

Seeing Chuanjie leave without a word, Lan Wu walked toward Shangguan Mingyue with a lecherous grin.

“Take care of your mother! You’re in trouble, you idiot!”

Shangguan Zhuiyue wasn’t like Chuanjie, who was injured and couldn’t easily take action; she directly hit Lan Wu with a choice curse word, not indulging him at all!

Lan Wu was stunned by the insult, and before he could react, Chuanwu and Zhao Song had already blocked the doorway.

“Lan Wu, do you still remember the Golden Blade Hero? Do you still remember Zhao Family Village?”

Zhao Song held a golden blade, his gaze filled with hatred as he looked at Lan Wu.

“What ’Golden Blade Hero’ nonsense? You’re interrupting my time with this girl. Kill them!”

At this moment, Lan Wu was blinded by lust; he had no time to listen to Zhao Song and immediately ordered his subordinates to attack.

Chen Chuanwu stepped forward, caught the Innate Master’s blade with one hand, and punched him until he vomited and fell unconscious!

As for the remaining lackeys, Zhao Song used the Golden Blade Hero’s famous technique, the Full Moon Scimitar, to cut them down, leaving them severely wounded.

Naturally, the mole from the Black Ice Platform within the Gu God Cult had already slipped away, taking one of the lackeys with him!

“You... don’t do anything rash! I am the Grandson of Lan Jiuying, an Elder of the Gu God Cult!”

Seeing his subordinates carved up like vegetables, Lan Wu was momentarily scared witless and collapsed to the ground.

“Do you remember now? Zhao Family Village? The Golden Blade Hero?”

Zhao Song placed the blade against Lan Wu’s neck and spoke in an icy tone.

“Big brother, I remember, I remember! You’re the successor of the Golden Blade Hero, right? But the destruction of Zhao Family Village had nothing to do with me! My father did it! Go find my father!”

Lan Wu was so terrified he wet his pants, speaking to Zhao Song with a face full of fear!
