The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

Everyone was startled, looking up to the second floor where the voice had come from. Chen Dong and his two companions stood there, leaning against the railing.

Wu Haigang’s expression changed drastically. ’This guy just won’t let the Wu Family go, will he? He actually followed us here!’ Seeing Wu Haichao next to him, he was angry, but his primary thought was of escape.

The Wu Family elders, not yet knowing who Chen Dong was, bellowed, ”Who are you?! How dare you interfere in the Wu Family’s affairs!”

”Wu Haichao, you ungrateful bastard! To think you’d collude with outsiders!”

”That chick next to the kid isn’t bad. Top-shelf quality. Take the kid down. This old man wants the first taste!”

A green glint flashed in Wu Haigang’s eyes. ”Get him for me.”

Those words activated the power of his Gu, compelling everyone from the Wu Family to attack Chen Dong. At the same time, he made a quick dash for the door.

Chen Dong scoffed as a flash of lightning appeared in his hand. Against this group of ordinary people who only knew the Poisonous Gu Technique, his current lightning arts were complete overkill.

Everyone from the Wu Family—including the three managers and even Wu Haigang, who had almost reached the door—was instantly reduced to ash. The only one spared was Wu Haichao. Needless to say, the Gu Insects inside them were also annihilated.

These people had been deeply corrupted by the Gu and were utterly depraved, so Chen Dong felt nothing but satisfaction in killing them. In his sea of consciousness, his Saint Dao and Asura Dao surged.

Murong Qing pouted and kicked the banister, breaking it. ”Damned Chen Dong, you didn’t even leave one or two for me! I can’t beat those external Gu things, but you think I can’t handle these guys?!”

Hearing this, Chen Dong quickly said, ”There are still a few bodyguards in the cars outside. Anyone who came here has dirty hands. Don’t hold back.”

At his words, Murong Qing excitedly rushed out.

Chen Dong turned his head and asked Wu Haichao, ”Who else do you remember being controlled by Gu Insects?”

Wu Haichao thought for a moment and said, ”My second brother, Wu Haiqiang, and my third brother, Wu Hai Zhi…” He then listed a few more names.

Chen Dong frowned. ”I’ll stay in Hainan for two days. Find out their whereabouts as quickly as possible.”

Wu Haichao nodded.

Murong Qing came rushing back in, crying out, ”Damned Chen Dong, damned Chen Dong! The truck they came in is full of girls! What do we do?!”

Chen Dong sensed that the girls were all ordinary people, most from poor families. They seemed to have been tricked by human traffickers. For a moment, he was at a loss.

”Let me handle this! I’ll make sure they’re all settled properly. I won’t let them come to harm,” Wu Haichao said seriously.

Chen Dong thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

This could be considered a test for Wu Haichao. Chen Dong memorized the aura of each girl. If anything happened to them within two days, he would eliminate Wu Haichao as well.

Wu Haichao had been reduced to a beggar and naturally had no subordinates to command. He borrowed Chen Dong’s phone and tentatively made a call, which was answered immediately.

In less than ten minutes, a Bentley arrived in the courtyard. It seemed Wu Haichao still had some connections; he had just been too proud to ask for help.

Over the next two days, Chen Dong helped Wu Haichao stabilize the Wu Family.

Meanwhile, the ”Black Feather” had become a nationwide sensation. Countless Martial Artists appeared, and social media platforms and video-sharing sites were flooded with news about them.

There were discussions about Cultivation Techniques and debates over Realms, but most posts and videos were about the Black Feather.

Now, everyone was proud to own a Black Feather.

Some wealthy individuals even offered a million to buy a Black Feather, but no one was willing to sell. The price of Black Feathers just kept climbing.

On video-sharing sites, the most popular content was all martial arts demonstrations. A video of someone breaking bricks with their bare hands could easily get over ten million views and a million comments. The top video, with over three hundred million views, showed a petite woman effortlessly leaping more than three meters into the air.

「On Chen Dong’s fourth day in Nanhai, at nine in the morning, inside the Wu Company offices.」

In the CEO’s office, Chen Dong sat in the executive chair with Murong Qing on his lap, watching videos.

The video showed a young man in ancient-style clothing plucking a flower and flicking a leaf to hit a bullseye ten meters away. As soon as the video was uploaded, it shot to the top of the trending lists. The view count changed every second, and the comment section exploded.

Some said it was clever editing; others claimed it was special effects. But the most popular topic of discussion was the young man’s Realm and which Black Feather Cultivation Technique he had obtained.

Murong Qing chuckled. ”To be able to do that, he must be a Grandmaster at least! Aren’t Grandmasters these days afraid of being hauled in by the Military Suppression Department for a few days? Why be so high-profile!”

Chen Dong smiled without a word and moved on to the next video. This one showed a beautiful woman in high heels crossing a wide river by stepping on reeds—a performance of the legendary ”crossing the river on a single reed.” The comment section for this video had also exploded.

Murong Qing said in surprise, ”That’s at least the level of a mid-tier Grandmaster! Are Grandmasters a dime a dozen these days? And what is this Black Feather thing they’re all talking about?!”

Chen Dong commented, ”Judging from their energy circulation, these Grandmasters are all very clumsy. They’re nothing like Martial Artists who trained step-by-step. It seems this Black Feather can rapidly create Martial Artists.”

Then, a slight smile touched his lips. ’The Military Suppression Department is going to be busy now. Public opinion has completely exploded; they can’t suppress this anymore. The ratio of Martial Artists to the general population is out of balance. I can already see the world descending into chaos!’

Murong Qing’s eyes focused as she mulled it over. ”Doesn’t that mean there will be huge bounties to earn?”

Chen Dong shook his head and laughed. ”You silly girl, this isn’t a good thing. I can already feel the world’s Spiritual Qi increasing every day. This might be the last moment of peace before the storm.”

Just as Murong Qing was about to say something, a knock sounded at the door.

Chen Dong said casually, ”Come in!”

A female assistant entered, pushing Wu Haichao in a wheelchair. Wu Haichao said with reverence, ”Mr. Chen, someone from the Murong Family is here!”
