Chapter 205, - Friend From Afar (2/2)

“Ha-ha-ha, we only met Marshal half a month ago. Getting so close in such a short time is evidence in and of itself. That nothing is impossible for me!” Zhuo Fan snickered.

Luo Yunhai added with a creepy laughter, “That is because I am of unmatched talent. It was only a matter of time for one such as I to find myself as godfather’s disciple, ha-ha-ha…”

The others felt dark clouds looming overhead, [Zhuo Fan is a bad influence.]

Be that as it may, the grand God of War had nonetheless joined their fold in but half a month. This was unprecedented.

Chu Bijun felt the brunt of the news the most. She had ties with every great clan out there but never had she succeeded in turning any of them into a strong friendship. Her impression of Zhuo Fan went up a notch.

[No wonder he became a steward. He knows the ins and out of everything. He considers everything when making a choice.]

[Perhaps not even Unwonted Contriver can match his meticulousness.]

[For a third rate clan to jump in the first rate category through a single connection is unheard of!]

[With Zhuo Fan as steward, the Luo clan will most definitely rise above the seven houses. A pity he is so set against marrying into Drifting Flowers Edifice!]

Chu Bijun lamented.

“Since Luo clan is so outstanding, then should we stop supporting the Luo clan?” Having enough of Zhuo Fan being a wise ass, Long Yifey decided to play a practical joke.

Ugh!

The snicker froze on Zhuo Fan’s face. He then spoke in all seriousness, “To be completely honest, Luo clan is lacking in resources. What Veiled Dragon Pavilion provided us so far was just a drop in the bucket. In any case, we four are now allies. Will the other two houses be willing to lend a helping hand and get this third rate clan to rise above?”

“Haven’t you taken a year’s worth of income with the ingredients you took the last time you were in Drifting Flowers City? What more do you want?” Peony Overseer glared.

Zhuo Fan smiled wryly, yet not denying, “Those are just ingredients for alchemy. Besides, don’t we deserve at least some thanks for saving your house? How can you call that support?”

“You damn rogue!” Peony Overseer huffed.

Chu Bijun chuckled, “Ha-ha-ha, with all four of us in the same boat, the Luo clan will be our biggest ally. Helping you is helping us. Drifting Flowers Edifice will henceforth settle the Luo clan’s ingredient problem!”

“Grandmother, you are wise beyond your age!” Zhuo Fan gave a thumbs up.

Xie Xiaofeng smoothened his beard, “Sword Marquise Abode is specialized in tool refining and has many ores. Then we shall supply you with the items needed to make spiritual weapons and demonic treasures.”

Zhuo Fan’s eyes shined and laughed inside.

Luo clan had many guards, but no weapon or armor to fit them with. He had lately been thinking of who to rob and solve this little snag.

[Damn that Xie Tianyang. Did it hurt to not tell me this sooner? And you call yourself my brother?] Zhuo Fan cursed.

Long Yifey twirled his mustache and shrugged, “I guess Veiled Dragon Pavilion will handle the rest?”

“Oh please, who else is there? You’re the best merchant in Tianyu!” Zhuo Fan perked the corner of his mouth.

That sent everyone into a laughing fit.

With this, they all began to see Luo clan as a dependable ally.

They were yet unaware what the Luo clan would grow into, but with Dugu Zhantian shading them, it was worth investing in them.

Luo Yunhai felt the clan would experience a golden age with how many resources were coming over and was laughing at the sky, “It’s good to have friends coming from afar!”

Iris Overseer praised, “He is quite clever, knowing how to gauge a situation!”

While all smiled, Peony Overseer was snorting at Zhuo Fan, “True, he is a clever little child and with proper manners too. Unlike someone else we know!”

She then said to Luo Yunhai, “Tell me, do you know what that means?”

“Of course. Big bro Zhuo had made me study many books these few days to last a lifetime!” Luo Yunhai laughed as he explained, “The more brothers that come, the more I can exploit. A true joy-“

Ugh!

Zhuo Fan covered his mouth before he could finish. The other looked at him with dark faces, boring holes into him.

“Uh, I am just a steward and not good at teaching…” Zhuo Fan blinked his large eyes in embarrassment.

The other’s faces twitched, “On the contrary, you’re too highly qualified…”

One thing was certain, this young master was a lost cause having been through Zhuo Fan’s rotten hands…
