Chapter 449 (1/2)

“Brother. What do we do about Deng Tian?” Huang Chen asked after both Huang Jie and Deng Tian had left. While Huang Jie could not be trusted entirely, they still had to believe parts of it.

Deng Tian and Kuai Ran were friends. On top of that, Kuai Ran wanted to take Deng Tian’s son as a disciple. The two brothers did not antic.i.p.ate this.

“We cannot kill Deng Tian.” Huang Kai shook his head. The Huang Family were enemies with the Cai Family and Kuai Family. As the Cai Family were responsible for killing Deng Tian’s family, Deng Tian could be used to oppose the Cai Family. On top of that, Deng Tian was also capable.

“But!” Huang Chen wanted to bring up the fact that Deng Tian allowed Kuai Ran to leave.

“There is no but about this. Deng Tian would not betray us!” Huang Kai replied. Deng Tian definitely understood matters between the Kuai Family and the Cai Family. Would Kuai Ran really offend the Cai Family for Deng Tian?

“That being said, we must take precautions.” Huang Kai added with a frown. As the Kuai Family was also enemies with the Huang Family and Deng Tian was Kuai Ran’s old friend, they needed to take precautions.

“What should we do?”

“Since Kuai Ran wants to accept Deng Tian’s son as a disciple, we should take in Deng Tian’s son first!” Huang Kai suggested.

“Brother! Are you saying that we should accept Deng Fan as a disciple?” Huang Chen asked. He had seen the boy before.

“Of course not! He is just a servant. How could we take his son in?” Huang Kai shook his head. Deng Tian was a talented and capable person but to Huang Kai, the man was still just his servant. He would not go to the extent of taking in his servant’s son as a disciple. As the son of the Huang Family, he would only take other n.o.ble children as disciples, especially if it is his first disciple. That was the only way he could show his face. On top of that, the n.o.ble child must be able to bring him benefits. On the other hand, Deng Fan was the son of a servant. In other words, Deng Fan himself was just a servant.

“What does brother mean?”

“Why does Deng Tian’s son need to study? He can just learn a skill to support our Huang Family!”

“Learn a skill?” Huang Chen stared at his brother blankly. He never expected his brother to say this. Only the common people would learn specific skills for their livelihood. To the common people, that is a good thing. However, to the others, learning such things meant that they are a lowly group. For example, a smith could make weapons but at the end of the day, they would remain a smith. They would have no opportunity to be in the government. On top of that, with their current system, their future descendants would all be smiths.

“I remember that there is a gardener at the backyard. Have him take in Deng Fan. Taking care of the flowers is one way he can help his father and our Huang Family!”

“I understand brother. I will go and arrange things tomorrow!” Huang Chen nodded and then asked. “Brother. Do we need to send Huang Jie to the torture chamber?” Huang Jie had committed a grave offense by selling their provisions.

“No need! Just take his money!”
