Chapter 282: Chapter 0283: Exploring the Jade Scroll Again [Part 1]

"World Gambling King competition?" Chu Feng was taken aback upon hearing He Sheng’s words. He then said, "With the abilities of the senior masters, there should be no need for me to participate, right?"

He Sheng sighed and said, "Mahjong and the other three are almost unsolvable in their respective domains. But they’ve grown old; they’ve already exceeded the age limit set by the organizing committee. Huaxia has been defeated in several successive competitions. This year, everyone’s eyes are on me; I have to set an example."

Chu Feng walked over, draped his arm over He Sheng’s shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Brother He, it’s meaningless for you to speak so righteously. Just say it straight: If I help you win, what benefits will you get and what benefits will I get?"

He Sheng’s face turned red, and he coughed twice, murmuring, "If I win, I can get the approval qualifications for all places around the world where casinos are allowed from the World Gambling Association, for the next five years. I’ve calculated that it could increase profits by about twenty percent. You and I, old brothers, will split that twenty percent evenly."

Chu Feng said, "Splitting it evenly would be unreasonable; after all, you’d have to invest a lot of effort. I’ll just take five percent."

He Sheng said, "No problem."

Chu Feng laughed and said, "Alright, just give me a call when you need me, and I’ll come over. For now, I’ll head back first."

After Chu Feng and Huang Lan returned to East River, Chu Feng immediately took Huang Lan to see his master.

Seeing Huang Lan and Chu Feng returning hand in hand, Zhang Shisan gave Elder An a smug look.

Elder An, however, remained as calm as an ancient well.

Chu Feng and Huang Lan approached Elder An and Zhang Shisan, and it was only with great effort that they untwined their hands.

"Grandpa An, Master!" Chu Feng greeted respectfully.

Huang Lan also said, "I’ve seen Elder An and Tributor Zhang."

"Girl Huang, I owe you one this time. It’s my fault for not arranging things properly. I thought those from Dragon Soul would still have some old affections," Zhang Shisan began.

Huang Lan quickly said, "You’re being too serious, Tributor Zhang."

Zhang Shisan said, "After this time, I will return with you to Dragon Soul. I haven’t been out and about for too long; it seems that some people have indeed forgotten about this old man."

Chu Feng asked, "Master, you’re going back to Dragon Soul?"

Zhang Shisan nodded and said, "Some matters ultimately cannot be avoided. There are many old friends of mine in Dragon Soul, and I believe they need my support."

After a pause, Zhang Shisan said, "After I leave, the An Family will rely on you. The World Families Conference is about to start, and you must protect the An Family’s well-being."

Chu Feng said, "Rest assured, Master, I will do my utmost."

Zhang Shisan nodded and said, "Then I am relieved. Girl Huang, get ready. We’ll leave tomorrow."

Chu Feng frowned and said, "So soon? Master, can you leave a few days later? Your apprentice still has some matters about cultivation that I need to consult with you."

Zhang Shisan did not know what Chu Feng was getting at, but he nodded anyway, saying, "Alright. Then I’ll leave a week later. Girl Huang, you stay as well, and I’ll take the chance to give you some guidance on your cultivation too, okay?"

"Thank you, Tributor Zhang!" Huang Lan also quickly expressed her gratitude.

"Master, I have some family matters to attend to, so I can’t stay with you. I’ll come to see you again tomorrow," Chu Feng said.

"If you have matters to handle, go ahead," Zhang Shisan also nodded.

"I’ll walk you out," Huang Lan said.

"Alright," Chu Feng nodded, and then he left the An Family estate with Huang Lan.

"See that?" Zhang Shisan said with pride.

Elder An replied, "What does that prove? Not to mention you’ve lived quite a few years, you can’t even tell if anything has happened between them. Besides, even if something did happen, no one could ever replace Rongrong in Chap Chu’s heart."

After leaving the An Family, Huang Lan also said, "I’ll only walk you this far; I won’t go back with you. Otherwise, your four beauties at home will tear me to shreds. Take this."

Huang Lan took out the cheque for five hundred million and handed it to Chu Feng.

Chu Feng, seeing where Huang Lan had taken the cheque from, stared wide-eyed and asked, "You hid the cheque there?"

Huang Lan rolled her eyes at Chu Feng and said, "It’s the safest place."

Chu Feng was speechless for a moment, then continued, "Why are you giving this to me? Isn’t this your dowry?"

Huang Lan moved closer to Chu Feng and said, "You know it’s my dowry, so you better take it quickly, unless you want me to marry someone else?"

"..."

Hearing Huang Lan’s words, Chu Feng felt the cheque was like a hot potato, unsure whether to take it.

Huang Lan watched Chu Feng’s reaction and giggled, "Just kidding. I don’t have much to spend money on at Dragon Soul. Plus, I think the plan you told me on the boat was good. I can consider it seriously. After I retire in a couple of years, I can use this money to live the life I want."

After a pause, Huang Lan added, "But this amount isn’t enough for the life I want. I’m hoping my money will grow in your hands. It should at least double."

Chu Feng rolled his eyes and said, "You think I can print money or what, doubling it."

Huang Lan said, "You’re not a money printer, but you make money faster than one. Don’t think I don’t know about the deals you and He Sheng negotiated on that boat. Anyway, I’ve given you the money. If you can’t double it, you’ll have to make up the difference with your own money."

Chu Feng gritted his teeth and said, "That’s extortion."

Huang Lan giggled, "I’m extorting you, I’m blackmailing you, so what? You gonna hit me?"

Chu Feng truly didn’t dare to lift a hand, especially since he was at the gate of the An Family, so he just gritted his teeth in frustration.

In the end, Chu Feng, gritting his teeth, took the cheque—still warm with Huang Lan’s body heat and fragrant with the scent of milk—back home.

When he arrived home, Chu Feng saw that only his sister-in-law was there. As the concert was approaching, in recent days Cui Jingyan and the others had been eating and sleeping at the company.

"Sister-in-law," Chu Feng called out as he entered the house.

Seeing Chu Feng return, Qin Mei said, "Xiao Feng, you haven’t eaten yet, have you?"

Chu Feng nodded, "Not yet."

"I’ll cook for you."

At the dinner table, Chu Feng had planned to give both cheques to Qin Mei. However, he knew that if given to Qin Mei, she wouldn’t accept them, and eventually, they would end up with Cui Jingyan, so it might be better to give them directly to Cui Jingyan another day.

Chu Feng originally wanted to chat with his sister-in-law, but a phone call came, and Qin Mei left him to go upstairs and answer it.

Chu Feng didn’t know whose call it was and that his sister-in-law would keep it from him. Of course, if Chu Feng wanted to eavesdrop, he could have, but he was above doing such a thing.

After the meal and cleaning up, Chu Feng went straight upstairs, ready to forcefully delve into the contents of the Jade Scroll again, looking for ways to help his master.
