Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Hu Da Regrets It, Something’s Off with the Jing Family_1
Wang Kun’s eyes widened as he kept straining his voice, shouting loudly.

Meanwhile, Luo Changfeng’s withered right hand

was already dangerously close to Wang Kun’s face.

If this slap were to connect,

even someone who had achieved Bone Refinement Perfection would undoubtedly die.

“One month?”

Luo Changfeng looked calmly at Wang Kun before him.

“One month…” Wang Kun’s voice trembled slightly as he whispered in response.

“Fine, let’s see then,”

“see if you can truly do as you claim, to triple the success rate and quality of the elixir.”

“If you can, then you may live.”

“But if not, you know what your outcome will be…”

“Alright, you may leave now!”

“I will have someone deliver those precious herbs to you.”

“I hope that within this month, you can accomplish what you’ve promised.”

Having said that, Luo Changfeng silently retracted his deceptively frail-looking right hand, which actually contained extremely terrifying power,

and resumed his seat on the stone bench.

He picked up the book titled “Introduction to Alchemy” from the stone table and began to peruse it carefully.

Just as Wang Kun was about to leave the courtyard,

Luo Changfeng seemed to remember something and called out to Wang Kun once more, “Oh, and remember, record every memory you have about alchemy, everything from your mind and your body.”

“I have use for these things.”

Wang Kun: “I, I understand…”

 

As Wang Kun gradually disappeared from Luo Changfeng’s line of sight,

and after he had completely left the courtyard,

Luo Changfeng then focused his gaze back on the book in his hands.

His time was running short.

The next full moon night was about ten days away.

If he couldn’t address, or at least suppress, the extreme cold affliction within Luo Youwei’s body within these ten days,

little Luo Youwei would undoubtedly die.

“Sigh…”

“This pressure is really quite heavy.”

“I’ve been reading ‘Introduction to Alchemy’ for over ten days now, yet I haven’t even touched the threshold of the basics…”

“Could it be that I truly have no talent for alchemy?”

Luo Changfeng doubted his own natural aptitude for the art of alchemy as he read the book in his hands.

 

Time passed swiftly.

Soon, it was noon.

The intense sun hung high in the sky, and its warm rays shone unceasingly upon the land,

temporarily driving away the icy chill of the winter season.

Such weather provided much relief for the ragged refugees in Qingshi Town.

Qingshi Town, the Hu Family’s estate.

In the room where the Family Head of the Hu Family resided,

Hu Da, the current Family Head of the Hu Family was sitting quietly in the main seat.

It was visible to the naked eye that Hu Da’s expression was somewhat grim and slightly unsightly at the moment.

In front of Hu Da, standing silently and motionless, were two people.

One was the Hu Family’s current Young Master, Hu Min.

The other was one of Hu Da’s many sons.

Although he still looked somewhat youthful,

within his brows and eyes, one could faintly envision the extremely handsome appearance he would have when he grew up.

“Father, for what matter have you summoned me here?”

As the current Young Master of the Hu Family, Hu Min seemed overwhelmed by the oppressive atmosphere in the room.

Subsequently, he walked up in silence.

He glanced cautiously at his father’s somewhat upset face and asked in a low voice.

“What is the matter?” Upon hearing this, Hu Da couldn’t help but scoff, “You have the nerve to ask me what the matter is?”

“Aren’t you aware of the mess you’ve created?”

Seeing this, Hu Min became even more confused, “Father, your son… your son doesn’t quite understand what you’re talking about?”

“Still don’t understand?”

Hu Da looked at the bewildered Hu Min in front of him and grew irritated.

He took a deep breath.

After composing his emotions,

Hu Da watched Hu Min with a somewhat icy expression and said in a cold voice, “Do you remember the marriage alliance our Hu Family proposed to the Luo Family a while ago?”

Hu Min nodded repeatedly, “I remember, your son certainly remembers.”

Hu Da: “Good that you do. Given the situation of the Luo Family at the time, the marriage between our Hu Family and the Luo Family was bound to succeed.”

“But it was because of you that the marriage alliance with the Luo Family failed.”

“Tell me, how should I punish you?”

Hu Min was stunned; he was truly bewildered.

He had not expected his father to bring up this matter again.

Moreover, when the alliance failed,

he saw no signs of disappointment on his father’s face.

Even at the time of the failed alliance,

his father had once said he wanted to watch the Luo Family rise and fall.

Now in the blink of an eye, his father was attributing the failure to him.

Hu Min couldn’t accept it; he really couldn’t.

“Father, I…”

Hu Min seemed like he wanted to say something more, but before he could finish, Hu Da interrupted him directly, “No need to speak further. From now on, you just need to stay honestly within the clan’s territory. As for the position of Young Master… it will be taken over by Hu Ziyu.”

“Father…”

Hu Min shouted loudly, as if he was still unwilling to accept the decision.

“Thank you, Father.”

The somewhat youthful-looking boy beside Hu Min smiled faintly and bowed slightly to Hu Da in thanks.

 

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, evening had arrived.

Now, the setting sun cast the last of its glow upon the land.

Though the scene was beautiful,

with the continual descent of the sun, the temperature in Qingshi Town once again slowly returned to the bone-chilling cold typical of winter.

“Sir, the Jing Family’s residence is just up ahead…”

After marshaling all the forces in Qingshi Town and resolving the chaos within,

Luo Yong, who now controlled all the military forces in Qingshi Town,

finally set his sights on the Jing Family.

The Hu Family had already offered up the markets in their hands, half of the family’s assets, and all the books from their collection.

There was no longer any need to concern themselves with the Hu Family.

However, it seemed that the Jing Family’s situation was somewhat different from the Hu Family’s.

Although the Jing Family had not explicitly said anything,

Luo Yong could vaguely sense that the people of the Jing Family were somewhat reluctant to easily hand over the gambling houses they controlled.

“Have all the investigations been completed?”

“Are all the Jing Family members still within their clan’s territory?” Luo Yong asked in a low voice to his lieutenant after a moment of silence.

“Sir, all the Jing Family members are still within their clan’s territory,” the lieutenant responded affirmatively, his head slightly bowed.

Luo Yong: “Fine, in that case, follow me and surround the Jing Family.”

“I want to see what gives the Jing Family the audacity to think of keeping their gambling houses…”
