Chapter 44 (1/2)

While the fatty was in exclamation, the members of the Chang Le Gang stared from the outside. Some of them had even assembled members of the gang and were determined to save the gang leader and bring him out no matter how big the sacrifice was.

Uncle Beast was leaning on the spiritual beast carriage. A meaningful smile crept up his old and withered face under the hat. He shook his head twice slightly and appeared surprised about something.

“Good. Stand up. Since we are on the same boat, I shall cut to the chase. Settle these few things for me. I have a million jade coins here. Change these to spiritual jades for me immediately. The higher the grade of the spiritual jades, the better. Make sure to do this secretly, and do not let anyone else know about this. Afterward, send an invitation to the ten biggest gangs in the Jade Capital in my name. Tell them that I am going to… accept… disciples… tomorrow night at the family head accommodation in the Ren family abode!” When Ren Jie was talking about his motive, he dragged his voice and spat the words out one by one while looking at Chang Laosi.

Chang Laosi was originally very excited. However, he was stunned once again as he was about to stand up when he heard Ren Jie’s words.

In the Ren family… abode… about to accept disciples immediately…

He had thought that Ren Jie was merely admitting their master-disciple relationship when he accepted him as his disciple. He was already satisfied with that.

After all, ties with the ten biggest gangs in the Jade Capital were very complicated—some people may be brothers-in-law, some may have shares in certain business deals—but no one had ever admitted that they were related to the clans. All clans and sects would be involved in matters in the Jianghu 1. Big influential organizations would usually refrain from letting others know that they were involved in those matters.

Such things were all done secretly and in the dark.

Looking at Chang Laosi’s incredulous expression, Ren Jie nodded once again in confirmation. He then passed the banknote that was worth a million jade coins to Chang Laosi and told him to prepare those things even though he was still in a daze.

“Phew. Uncle Beast, let’s go back.” After Chang Laosi left the spiritual beast carriage, Ren Jie stretched and was prepared to lay down to rest.

“Ah!” All of a sudden, Gao Ren, who was previously in a daze, jumped up. He pointed in the direction Chang Laosi left and cried, “Money! The money! How could you let him take away all the money? Why do you want to change it to spiritual jades? You are not at the True Qi Realm. Even inferior-grade spiritual jades are useless to you.”

Spiritual jades were very valuable. However, only those who were at the True Qi Realm and above would gradually require spiritual jades. Furthermore, the quantity they required was limited. Spiritual jades were only essential for those who were at the Divine Power Realm. Ren Jie was currently only at the Body Refinement Realm. Why would he need so many spiritual jades?

Ren Jie wanted to scream that out loud. However, it was likely that he could not explain it well, thus he simply said some other uses for the spiritual jades.

“I have some other uses for it. We two are not alone anymore. Even if we do not care about the followers in the academy and the servants in the family clan, we still have about a hundred personal guards to take care of.” Fatty was very anxious. They took all the trouble to accumulate such a huge sum of money. He felt that they should have kept a portion of it.

“Stop panicking. Stop panicking. We still have the apothecary rooms, silk and satin stores, and the manors…” As Ren Jie spoke, he handed the deeds to Gao Ren and continued, “We can keep the apothecary rooms and sell the rest. Think about some ways to sell them at a high price. Selling these will solve the problems that we currently face.”

Since Ren Jie had already made up his mind, Fatty could only shake his head and exclaim, “I hope everything goes according to what you have said. However, you are spending money increasingly recklessly. God knows what you are doing. If you continue with this spending habit, this cannot be sustained no matter how rich you are.”

“Ha!” Ren Jie laughed and said, “If you become slimmer and turn into a woman, you can definitely qualify as a housekeeper.”

Fatty glanced sideways at Ren Jie with a weirded out expression. He leaned back slightly and said, “What are you talking about? Meal Ticket Big Brother, you must have been so shocked by the Fang Qi incident that you became madly desperate for women.”

Ren Jie lay there while smiling. He did not bother about what the fatty said. That reaction made the fatty even more weirded out.

“Oh right! What do you plan to do with that middle-grade spiritual artifact?” Fatty felt that the atmosphere was very bizarre and decided to change the topic of the conversation.

“The Fangs are not that kind. There is a problem with this middle-grade spiritual artifact. The yin in it is way too strong. I am not very certain about it. Let’s not open it for now. We can wait until we find a solution,” Ren Jie replied casually before starting to sort the stuff in his head.

The Chang Le Gang was established by Chang Laosi. He had absolute control over the gang, unlike other big and influential organizations or big family clans. For matters that did not require much discussion or would not create any disagreements, Chang Laosi could call the shots.

Not long after Ren Jie and the others left, Fang Yan led four subordinates to the headquarters of the Chang Le Gang. He was notified the moment Ren Jie entered the Chang Le Gang and he rushed over immediately.

Fang Tianen and Fang Yan’s first reactions when they heard that Ren Jie had gone to the Chang Le Gang was that Ren Jie was being way too impatient. Did he really go to the Chang Le Casino to flaunt because of how much money he had lost to the casino in the past? No matter what was Ren Jie’s purpose, they could not allow him to have too many interactions with Chang Laosi. Therefore, Fang Yan had rushed to the Chang Le Gang headquarters hurriedly. When he saw that the door to the headquarters had been shattered and the walls had been broken down, he was absolutely dumbfounded.
