Chapter 1193: Chapter 59: Devoted Loyalty_2 Chapter 1193: Chapter 59: Devoted Loyalty_2 Who could provoke such a background?

Just name someone else!

Those who dare to cause trouble would, at the least, be immediately investigated by the government, thrown into prison, sent to the army, or executed along with their entire family…

Even if someone was powerful enough to temporarily escape the government’s pursuit, they would still face the assassins of Heavenly Judgment and the siege by the strongest forces in the martial arts world like Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace and Absolute Sword Devil Palace. It’s like walking on the road and suddenly losing your head without reason.

The Good Conscience General Store saw its prestige rise along with its success. Xu the Third and Xu the Fourth naturally transformed into major economic figures in Yuezhou City, the kind whose every move shook Feng Yun.

“We are just clerks…”

The two always remembered their roles, ignoring how others viewed them, and remained cautious and honest.

Dedicated to guarding Doctor Feng’s home.

However, the brothers weren’t entirely simple—for instance…

Decades ago, each had found a wife—saleswomen from their own store, disciples of the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace.

At the wedding, many people congratulated them outwardly while secretly crying rivers and murmuring endless disbelief.

Such fine “cabbages,” and yet taken by two “pigs”…

It was truly heartbreaking.

Today, the residents of Yuezhou City were met with another surprise, a new chapter in the legend of the city’s trees!

Despite the absence of wind, the large trees in Yuezhou City suddenly swayed with flying leaves.

A joyous mood surged suddenly, engulfing the whole of Yuezhou City, affecting everyone there.

This inexplicable joy made everyone feel extremely happy.

Moreover, different floral fragrances permeated and wafted through the air.

Countless ancient trees, against all odds for this late autumn season, bloomed all at once.

In that moment, this instant, a unique miracle rendered a new legendary tale for Yuezhou City!

“This is…the Trees’ Deity showing its spirit!”

Countless people, already aware of the divinity of Yuezhou’s trees, didn’t hesitate to prostrate in worship immediately.

Meanwhile, in a certain vacant courtyard, two long-silent Iron Heart Trees also burst into full bloom in an instant.

For a time, fragrance filled the air, far-reaching.

…

After one night, the city was rich with floral scent.

But all anomalies simultaneously vanished, as if they had never appeared.

All ancient trees returned to their usual silence.

Only the most observant could tell that these ancient trees now possessed a livelier vitality.

Though they appeared as ordinary green plants, many still seemed half dead; yet their leaves were thick and full, dark and shiny green.

Yet no one knew why this was happening or what the root cause was.

Only a mute beggar who perennially rested against a large tree noticed the anomaly.

Because he, during the night, experienced the subtle changes of the tree up close.

It was a pure form of energy circulating through the tree, absorbed finally after a continuous process that lasted for three hours.

After this ordeal, the vitality of the trees had more than doubled.

The beggar thoughtfully glanced at the hollow in the tree.

Noticing that the bark around the hollow seemed thicker and more lustrous than before.

Such minute details might go unnoticed by others.

But not by him.

He had been here, watching this tree, pretending to be mute for fifty-two years!

Considering yesterday’s anomaly of the city trees blooming.

The beggar stood up, and as usual, left to beg.

But he never returned.

He took a detour to Xianyang.

The extraordinary event with the city’s trees pointed to only one conclusion, a conclusion he could not reach himself.

But his mission was complete; it was time to report to Commander Wu immediately.

Fifty-two years of mute life!

Fifty-two years of begging!

All for this one piece of news.

But he felt it was worth it.

Because finally, he had waited it out.

…

That same evening, Feng Yin secretly met with the Xu brothers.

When he saw them again, Feng Yin was deeply moved, almost overwhelmed by emotions.

The brothers had now become Heavenly Level seventh rank masters.

Over these past fifty-plus years, the brothers had missed nothing; they had married, had children, and even grandchildren.

Xu the Third’s grandson was already nine years old this year…

Seeing Feng Yin again felt like meeting from another lifetime, and the rough men cried their eyes out.

“You have done well over these years.”

Feng Yin generously offered encouragement.

The brothers, their eyes red and swollen, frantically fetched the ledger in their hurried state.

“This year’s earnings…”

Xu the Third proudly said, “Besides our own salaries, we haven’t misused a single coin! All here! Look, look.”

“My wife audits the main ledger every year. For fifty-two years, every number we calculated matched exactly to the last cent. And because I worried about the women’s limited exposure, I had someone from the government review the accounts again.”

“Here is the annual settlement endorsement, signed every year.”

He scratched his head, “Um, my wife doesn’t know about this.”

Xu the Fourth shivered, pleading, “Brother, keep your voice down, the wives mustn’t know about this. If they do, what good will come to us?”

“As if I need telling. I don’t want to die either, Boss is here, how could we not report it properly!”
