CHAPTER 519: CHAPTER 529: GREED KNOWS NO BOUNDS

Wu Ming is the most talented medicinal herb planter under Chu Feng. He has quite a reputation at Medicine Mountain #106.

Originally, Wu Ming belonged to the faction led by Mao Wu Mountain Master, because he was a big chief under Manager Tang Ying.

Unexpectedly, the situation changed abruptly. Chu Feng replaced Tang Ying with a lightning-fast move, causing the talent of Wu Ming to be lost to others.

Yang Tianbao was actually just probing.

Little did he know that Chu Feng, without a second thought, agreed immediately.

"Alright, it’s settled then! Wu Ming will go to you, and Han Shuang will join me!"

This time, it was Yang Tianbao’s turn to be suspicious and wary.

He thought to himself, "Chu Feng is cunning and always has tricks up his sleeve, never suffering losses and always gaining advantages over others. He agreed so readily to exchange a big chief for an ordinary medicine farmer. There’s likely some trickery involved!"

The more Yang Tianbao thought about it, the more he felt there were secrets unknown to others.

Perhaps, this woman named Han Shuang is very important to Chu Feng.

This could be a golden opportunity to demand a high price.

"Ahem... I was just joking earlier. If you want to bring Han Shuang under your command, aside from exchanging her for Wu Ming, you’ll have to give me that ancestral jade pendant owned by Young Master Jia."

Yang Tianbao was not foolish — getting the jade pendant would be a major accomplishment for him.

Once that happens, Young Master Jia will surely reward him handsomely.

Upon seeing this man changing his demands, Chu Feng’s expression suddenly turned cold.

"What other demands do you have, Steward Yang? Go ahead and state them all at once to avoid dragging it out endlessly, like sheep droppings that fall one after another."

Yang Tianbao could not help but feel his face burning, but in the pursuit of benefits, what’s the loss of face?

Hearing Chu Feng, it seemed that adding a jade pendant was nothing significant.

"Aside from Wu Ming and the ancestral jade pendant of Young Master Jia, there are no other conditions. Didn’t you win 500,000 silver taels from Young Master Jia last time? With that much money, a Great Sword Master like you surely can’t spend it all. Keeping it with you only invites thieves. Why not hand over 400,000 taels to me?"

Yang Tianbao really had the gall—it was already a huge profit to exchange a big chief for an ordinary medicine farmer.

Not satisfied with just asking for the Jia family’s ancestral jade pendant, he even demanded Chu Feng give him another 400,000 taels.

This man was even more greedy and insatiable than the fisherman’s wife.

"Are the conditions all set?" Chu Feng’s face broke into a smile.

"For now, that’s all! I’ll add if I think of others!" Yang Tianbao also smiled greedily at Han Shuang. This was truly a money tree.

What a pleasant surprise.

To exchange for such a vast benefit.

"Han Shuang, I’m leaving, I will visit you next time!" Chu Feng didn’t glance at Yang Tianbao again and turned to leave.

"Hey... Manager Chu, aren’t you going to bring her under your command? You haven’t given me the jade pendant and the 400,000 silver taels yet, why are you leaving?"

"Could it be you didn’t bring those items with you, and are going back to get them?"

Yang Tianbao quickly chased after and shouted to stop Chu Feng.

"Get what? No need to make the switch!"

Chu Feng wasn’t foolish—although Han Shuang would suffer some hardships here, her personal safety was not an issue. In just a year or so, Chu Feng would replace Mao Wu Mountain Master.

By then, not only Han Shuang but also Yang Tianbao would fall under Chu Feng’s control.

"No swap?" Yang Tianbao’s expression became somewhat stiff; it turned out that it was not he who was playing Chu Feng, but Chu Feng who was playing him. "Well, let’s lower the conditions. Forget the 400,000 taels!"

Yang Tianbao also felt that the conditions he offered were too frightening, and the deal seemed to be falling through.

He immediately made a concession.

Chu Feng, without turning back, continued forward. He couldn’t be bothered to deal with this fool.

"Chu Feng, think carefully! Han Shuang works under me, handling her would be a matter of just one word!" Seeing that the deal wasn’t going well, Yang Tianbao immediately put on a stern face and threatened Chu Feng.

"Say that again, I dare you!" Chu Feng abruptly stopped and turned around.

With a sweep of his right hand, the Demon Slaying Sword also appeared. Radiant and filled with a chilling murderous aura, under the stimulation of his Sword Qi, this Heavenly Divine Weapon emitted an extremely terrifying aura.

Yang Tianbao’s cultivation was not weak, having reached the Late Stage Sword Saint.

At this moment, facing Chu Feng’s sharp edge, he actually felt a bit terrified, as if Chu Feng could take his life with just one strike.

"This youngster is clearly just a Late Stage Great Sword Master, only just reaching the state of Sword Light Transformation. Why does he give off such an extremely dangerous feeling?"

"The Heaven and Earth Sword Skill is truly terrifying! Plus, this lad has the dog’s luck to have obtained a Heavenly Divine Weapon. If we really fight, the chances of me falling are extremely high. A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him; best not to provoke him for now."

Although Yang Tianbao is a confidant of Mao Wu Mountain Master, he does not have much courage.

Pressed by Chu Feng’s Killing Aura, he immediately admitted defeat.

"This is my Medicine Field, you are not welcome here, please leave immediately!" Yang Tianbao had already lost his momentum.

"Listen well, whether it’s Han Shuang or Han Xiaoying, or anyone from my Dan State Branch. If you dare deliberately make things difficult for them, I will make you regret being alive. No one can save a person Chu Feng wants to kill."

After speaking, Chu Feng did not linger any longer and quickly left.

He left so assuredly because Han Shuang herself was not weak. Even if Yang Tianbao took action himself, he could not do anything to her.

"You, you... are too arrogant, simply overbearing and disregarding others..." Yang Tianbao was so angry that he was blowing his beard and glaring, only daring to retort after Chu Feng was gone.

This cowardly appearance had not escaped Han Shuang’s notice.

"What are you looking at? Get back to work!"

"If your production does not meet the standard, see how I will deal with you!"

Yang Tianbao scolded a few words with a cold face and left with a flick of his sleeves.

After being warned by Chu Feng, he really did not dare to touch Han Shuang for the time being.

"Bullying the kind and fearing the hard, adoring the high and stepping on the low, born to be a eunuch!" Han Shuang looked at Yang Tianbao’s retreating back with contempt.

"What did you say? Who are you calling a eunuch?" Yang Tianbao suddenly turned around, glaring at Han Shuang with a furious expression.

"Steward Yang must have heard wrong, I didn’t say anything!" Han Shuang naturally wouldn’t admit it. She wasn’t as dominating as Chu Feng, and Sect rules were strict; any form of defiance was a serious crime.

Yang Tianbao, gritting his teeth, stormed off angrily.

...

Chu Feng’s plans were disrupted by Yang Tianbao, which immensely frustrated him.

"F*ck, when I become the Mountain Master, no one will be able to disrupt my plans anymore!"

It wasn’t long before Chu Feng arrived at the Sect’s Post House, where not only could one send mail and items, but also rent mounts.

Many sect disciples who didn’t have their own mounts and needed to travel far for errands chose to rent a mount here. Those who could afford it could even rent a luxurious horse carriage or beast carriage.

Chu Feng didn’t want to attract too much attention and couldn’t afford a high deposit.

Eventually, he rented a Red Hare.

Among men Lü Bu, among horses Red Hare, it wasn’t called so for nothing. The Red Rabbit Steed, although not the most formidable among mounts, could easily travel two thousand li in a day.
