Chapter 317 The Grand Golden Terrace Banquet (Part 3)

This chapter is updated by Novelfree.ml

After ten baskets of silver ingots were distributed, another ten baskets of gold followed.

Very soon, the entire Heavenly Revelations City knew that a young master dressed in white had arrived in the city. The young master was as elegant as fine jade, with an extraordinary bearing comparable to an imperial heir. He distributed a lot of gold and silver without care and in the eyes of some commoners, he was like an immortal who descended to this mortal world as his body emitted golden light.

"How about you try throwing for a bit?" The young master in white handed a basket of gold to a young servant boy behind him. Then, he sat back inside the carriage and grinned expectantly at the accountant, who was still busy clacking away on his abacus. "Manager Tian, how’s the account?"

The accountant finally knocked his hand on final time and the abacus stopped. The carriage also came to a stop near Grand Golden Terrace. The servant boy looked back inside the carriage and shook the empty basket. "Young master, the ten baskets of gold have all been thrown out. If we throw more, we’ll have to throw the bills. But looking at the situation now, the bills will be torn to pieces if we throw them out."

The accountant shook his head. "We just lost that pawn shop, Luoze Shop, in Qingzhou Bai City."

The young master in white laughed and said, "Manager Tian, did I ruin the family business?"

The accountant shook his head. "When it comes to ruining the family business, you’re still inferior. Don’t talk about your father, you can’t even compare to that womaniser brother of yours. Back then, your brother could stay one night in a brothel and bestow two pawn shops away."

"I'm a scholar, after all." The young master in white stood up and stuck his head out of the carriage again. The carriage had stopped, but the people who had been surrounding the carriage waiting to pick up the gold and silver had yet to disperse. The young master in white smiled slightly, and the long sword that was hung at his waist suddenly came out of its sheath, raising a cloud of dust. Only then did the people realise that this rich young master not only had money but was also skilled in martial arts. Now that he seemed like he was not going to distribute more money, then they should stay as far away from him as possible, so they immediately scattered like birds and beasts. Finally, there was only one dirty-looking youth who stood there all alone, refusing to leave.

The youth was thin and weakly looking with dark, tanned skin, looking no more than twelve or thirteen years old. His whole body was covered in dust, yet he was empty-handed. By the time he heard the news, he was already a little late. And since he had a skinny and weak build, forget about grabbing any gold or silver, he couldn’t even squeeze into the crowd.

"Do you have brothers?" The young master in white leaned over and asked.

The tanned youth thought for a while, and replied, "If you mean blood-related brothers, I don’t have any. My parents left me when I was a child, but I have a lot of sworn brothers who are all just like me. We have no money and no family. But we all made a pact so we’re closer than real brothers."

"Very good." The young master in white flipped over and reached for the luminous pearl on the roof of the carriage. The luminous pearl gleamed brightly in his hand before he turned around and handed it to the youth whose face registered shock. "I'll give this to you. Do me a favour."

"What favour?" The youth hesitated a little and raised his head to ask, not accepting the pearl.

"Get your brothers to visit the Capital Salt Li Residence, the Music House, the Gongsun Company Pawnshop and Caiyi Pavilion, and tell them what's happening here."

"But… these are all places that belong to big tycoons and important families. I’m afraid that my brothers and I won’t be able to get in." The youth was still hesitating.

"Just stand at the front door and tell them that the Qingzhou Mu family is here." The young master in white stood up, his clothes fluttering in the wind.

"I'm here to collect rent.

"They won’t dare to stop you." The young master in white lowered his head and smiled. "Go on."

The youth nodded solemnly, and hurried off after receiving the luminous pearl.

The young master in white sat back into the carriage and the accountant started clacking away on the abacus again. "We’ve just lost a teahouse in Yunjian City and an inn in Bai City."

"Stingy." The young master in white laughed and shook his head.

The accountant deducted another sum on the abacus. "You’ve ruined the business!"

"How can we do big business without ruining the business first?" The young master in white stretched his back.

"Since when did the Mu family third young master start wanting to do business? Didn't you always say that you want to be a doctor?" The accountant smiled.

"The biggest business in the world is the change of dynasty and reign! I’m willing to do this business!" The young master in white had a biting cold gaze. "The only pity is that this time, it’s only a change in reign and not a change in dynasty!"

The accountant said wryly, "Young master, those are rebellious words if they got out."

"Hahahaha." The young master in white laughed loudly, pushing the curtain open. "Keep going ahead. Time to meet my friends."

The driver nodded and shook the reins lightly. The carriage moved forward a little, and finally stopped steadily at the front door of Grand Golden Terrace.

"It's really you. I was guessing who else could have made such a huge ruckus!" Lei Wujie was overjoyed and took a few steps forward. "Mu-xiong, Xiao Se didn't tell me that you’re coming!"

The Grand Golden Terrace attendant looked at the guest list from top to bottom again, and he also looked at Mu Chunfeng from head to toe, and finally gave up.

"Forget it, you won’t recognize him. He’s not from Heavenly Revelations City," Ye Ruoyi said.

The attendant was puzzled. "Then where did he come from?"

"Qingzhou, Yunjian City, Mu family," Ye Ruoyi said slowly.

"Huh?" The attendant’s jaw dropped.

Qingzhou, the wealthiest place in Beili.

Yunjian, the wealthiest city in Qingzhou.

Mu family, the wealthiest family in Yunjian.

"Lei-xiongdi. Miss Ye!" Mu Chunfeng jumped off the carriage, walked forward and hugged Lei Wujie. "A reunion in Heavenly Revelations City. Are you surprised?"

Lei Wujie laughed and asked, "Mu-xiong, how did you get here all of a sudden? You really gave me a shock."

"I heard the news of Xiao Se returning to Heavenly Revelations and thought I should be able to help him. So I rushed all the way here without stopping!" Mu Chunfeng said.

Lei Wujie nodded and said, "You’re just in time! By the way, how’s your eldest brother's illness? Has it been cured?"

Mu Chunfeng's face became slightly embarrassed, and he scratched his head. "My brother's health is better than before, but if he wants to regain the prowess of his past, I think that will require a period of further recuperation."

"That's good. It’s worth all our hard work to catch those snakes." After Lei Wujie said this, he couldn't help but think of Tang Lian, and his heart couldn't help but feel the pain of loss. The joy on his face also faded immediately.

Mu Chunfeng was very intelligent, and he had also heard a lot of news on the way here. Naturally, he knew what Lei Wujie was thinking of at the moment, and he immediately stepped forward and patted Lei Wujie on the shoulder. "Today, we have a grand banquet, don’t think about those sad memories. There will be time for that later. Some debts must be paid."

"I understand!" Lei Wujie nodded. "Since Mu-xiong is here, then please go in first. Xiao Se is sitting inside."

"No hurry." Mu Chunfeng turned his head and said thoughtfully, "I'm waiting for people."

Tian Mozhi was still sitting inside the carriage as he put away his abacus silently. He leaned his head on the side and murmured in a low voice, "Old master, you’ve chosen the right man, after all."
