Chapter 187: The Person Behind the Wanfeng Merchant Association, Acquiring a Maidservant
Facing Chen Changsheng’s attitude, Qian Fangkong did not feel repulsed but respectfully began to introduce.
“The Wanfeng Merchant Association was established fifteen hundred years ago and has now spanned across the Eastern Wastes, Western Continent, and Central Courtyard.”
“There are… many experts within the association.”
“Stop!”
Qian Fangkong’s words were cut off by Chen Changsheng before he could finish.
Looking at the “plump” Qian Fangkong, Chen Changsheng smiled, “A merchant association that spans three continents in just fifteen hundred years.”
“Your methods, Qian Fangkong, are nothing to be underestimated. However, I think the more important reason should be the person behind you.”
“I’ve been quite busy lately, so let’s get straight to the point— who supports you from behind?”
In response to Chen Changsheng’s inquiry, Qian Fangkong awkwardly smiled but did not answer.
Initially receiving news about a mysterious powerful figure disrupting the Swordsmanship Conference, Qian Fangkong had only prepared to send someone to make contact.
However, before he could react, an order came from above.
The content of the order was simple, just four words.
“Grant all requests!”
It was because of this that he hurried here.
The Wanfeng Merchant Association seemed to have encountered a significant figure.
…
Time passed slowly. Chen Changsheng stared intently at Qian Fangkong, who stood silently in front of him.
After a long silence, Chen Changsheng broke it first.
“If you don’t want to say, then don’t. It’s not right to put pressure on someone below me.”
At these words, Qian Fangkong’s tense nerves finally relaxed.
Because he didn’t know how he would respond if Chen Changsheng persisted with his questioning.
“Thank you, Senior!”
“There’s no need for thanks. Help me do three small tasks.”
“What task does the Senior wish?”
“First, spare the Xuan Bird Clan and prepare a place for them to live.”
“Second, tell the person behind you that I, Chen Changsheng, have returned, and unfinished business remains.”
“Third, send people to flatten Mount Bu Zhou. If things continue like this, the demon clan in the Western Continent will truly be wiped out.”
Hearing these requests, Qian Fangkong looked up at Tianxuan next to Chen Changsheng and bowed.
“Senior, most of the Xuan Bird Clan has been killed or sold, with only a few that managed to escape remaining.”
“Gathering them all back might be difficult.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng’s lips curled slightly upward.
Qian Fangkong’s reluctance to release the Xuan Bird Clan could be understood.
After all, having just exterminated their clan, turning around to release the captives would leave a bad precedent, which no one would willingly do.
“I understand your concerns; it’s reasonable to worry.”
“How about this: I’ll act as a guarantor. Within three thousand years, the Xuan Bird Clan won’t cause trouble for the Wanfeng Merchant Association.”
“If they violate this rule, I’ll personally eradicate the Xuan Bird Clan.”
“What does President Qian think of this?”
Seeing Chen Changsheng had said his piece, Qian Fangkong knew that if he refused now, it would be disrespectful.
“You jest, Senior. Such a minor matter doesn’t require your guarantee.”
“In half a month, the Xuan Bird Clan will return to their former habitat.”
“Very well, let’s agree on this.”
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng stretched and stood up, saying:
“Go back, I have other matters to attend to and can’t keep you idle chatting.”
—
“Wait, Senior!”
Just as Chen Changsheng turned to leave, Qian Fangkong called him back.
Qian Fangkong pulled over the young man accompanying him and said in a flattering tone.
“Though I don’t know where Senior is going, I see you lack someone to serve you.”
“If you’re not too picky, I’d like to offer my daughter to serve you.”
“This way, there will be someone to serve tea and water by your side.”
“What is your name?”
Looking at the bewildered little girl, Chen Changsheng asked subconsciously.
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s voice, the little girl, who was still dazed, immediately reacted and bowed.
“Answering Senior, I am Qian Bao’er.”
“Do you want to follow me?”
“I don’t…”
Qian Bao’er subconsciously said her true thoughts, but before she could finish, Qian Fangkong tugged at her arm.
Seeing this, Qian Bao’er realized she almost missed such a great opportunity.
“I do!”
“Hahaha!”
Chen Changsheng laughed happily.
“A clever girl. Since you want to, then come along.”
“The two young men with me have stubborn personalities. Being with them all day would drive me crazy.”
“Having a maidservant by my side would help me stay calmer.”
“Say goodbye to your family. We’re going to the Northern Desert, and you won’t be able to come back for a while.”
With that, Chen Changsheng turned to face Chen Shisan, whose face was pale.
This stubborn mule remained as stubborn as ever, enduring severe injuries without uttering a sound.
If he ignored it, he feared this stubborn fellow wouldn’t open his mouth until d*ath.
…
An hour later.
Qian Fangkong left, and Chen Changsheng took the three young people with him.
Interestingly, the group with three young people was unusually silent.
Finally, after an hour of silence, Chen Changsheng couldn’t hold back any longer.
“That’s enough!”
Chen Changsheng became angry, and the three simultaneously stopped.
Looking at the quiet trio, Chen Changsheng’s lips twitched as he said, “You are all young people. At this moment, you should have grand ambitions.”
“Grand ambitions shared among young people should mean endless conversation.”
“But why are your words even less than mine? Don’t you find it boring?”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s words, Qian Bao’er smiled and said, “Are you feeling bored, Senior? Perhaps I could dance for you to pass the time.”
“That’s not what I meant. I meant, don’t you have any curiosity?”
“Don’t you have questions for me?”
Upon hearing this, the silent Tianxuan bowed and said, “Senior’s grace towards the Xuan Bird Clan is profound. How could Tianxuan dare to ask questions?”
“Tianxuan is right. If Senior wants to speak, he will naturally do so. Why should Bao’er take the initiative to ask?”
Qian Bao’er and Tianxuan both expressed their intentions.
That is, your status is too high, we don’t have the qualifications to ask you.
Their rigid behavior made Chen Changsheng feel helpless, so he turned to look at Chen Shisan.
“Sir, don’t look at me!”
“You know me. My words have always been few.”
Chen Changsheng: “…”
I really must be losing my mind. How could I expect this stubborn ox to speak up?
