Chapter 98: Miss Feng San
“When you were not in the martial arts hall, Deputy Hall Master Xu only went out once…”
Han Yue recalled. “When he was in the martial arts hall, he didn’t have any contact with people from outside the martial arts hall.”
Han Huxiao nodded. “Anyway, we better keep Xu Ning with us.”
“But Dad…”
Han Yue was worried. “In the end, Deputy Hall Master Xu only joined our martial arts hall not long ago. If he knew that the future road would be tough, why would he stay with us?”
“This…”
Han Huxiao agreed with his daughter’s statement, but he also had other ideas. “Unless, we can give him enough benefits to make him feel satisfied.”
“Satisfied?”
Han Yue didn’t know what Han Huxiao was implying. “What benefits?”
Han Huxiao’s eyes showed a look of contemplation. He didn’t pay attention to Han Yue’s words.
Han Yue saw that her father was thinking and didn’t bother him.
“Han Yue, go get me clean clothes, I have to go outside.”
Han Huxiao suddenly said.
When Han Yue heard this, she quickly persuaded, “Dad, how can you go out in your current state? You should stay and rest.”
“Now is not the time to rest.”
Han Huxiao struggled to sit up.
“In order to stabilize our current situation, in addition to retaining Xu Ning, we have to gain some support.”
Han Huxiao explained to Han Yue, “Otherwise, even if Xu Ning stays, he would still be unable to prevent our decline. After all, he is only a state mind realm warrior. With his current strength, it is hard for him to maintain the current situation.”
“To gain some support?”
Han Yue pursed her lips.
She knew very well that once they gained some support, it would mean that the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall would need to give up a considerable part of their benefits.
“I know what you are thinking.”
Han Huxiao comforted his daughter. “The Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall is a business that I spent many years working hard on in Chun Rin Canton. And I too don’t wish to give it to others, but now the situation is grim, there’s no other way.”
“Moreover, with our current situation, even if we want to depend on others, they may not be willing to help us.”
Han Huxiao spoke in a depressed manner.
Han Yue panicked when she saw Han Huxiao’s depressed look.
The huge Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall had to be supported by Han Huxiao alone, and Han Yue somewhat blamed herself for her uselessness.
“Dad.”
After adjusting her emotions, Han Yue asked, “Who are you going to look for?”
“Miss Feng San.”
Han Hu said, “She is our only hope.”
“Okay, go and bring me some clean clothes and a pot of hot water.”
As Han Huxiao was speaking, he picked up the porcelain bottle Han Yue had placed on the table, poured out all the dan medicine in it, and stuffed them into his mouth.
Han Yue wanted to stop him, but when the words reached the tip of her tongue, she couldn’t say anything.
She turned around and left to prepare hot water and clothes for Han Huxiao.
…
Half an hour went by.
Han Huxiao arrived at a casino alone.
He stopped for a moment at the door, then he walked in.
The casino was full of noise. It was quite lively.
Among them, some were happy, some were worried, some were greedy, and some were crazy.
Guards in battle outfits patrolled back and forth to prevent people from emotionally breaking down and overreacting.
“Hello, I want to see Miss Feng San.”
Han Huxiao grabbed a guard and said to him.
As he was talking, Han Huxiao also took out a plate token.
The guard took the plate and looked at it repeatedly before saying, “Wait here first.”
“Thank you.”
Han Huxiao stood there in place.
The guard left with the plate. After a while, he came back and returned the plate to Han Huxiao.
“Miss San is waiting for you on the fourth floor.”
The guard said to Han Huxiao.
Han Huxiao thanked him and went upstairs.
When he reached the third floor, there were not many people in sight.
On the fourth floor, there were a number of guards at the entrance, and these guards looked quite mighty.
As soon as he went to the fourth floor, Han Huxiao was led to a room by the guards.
Upon entering the room, Han Huxiao saw four people sitting around a table with dice and gold notes on the table.
They were all dressed in brocade and silk clothing. Even their hand movements and gestures looked noble.
Han Huxiao just looked at the people having fun. He stood by the door and didn’t say anything.
After taking a look at Han Huxiao, the four of them didn’t care about him and continued to play.
Han Huxiao was currently injured, but even so, he still waited for a full hour.
Afterwards, three of them had enough fun and went downstairs.
Now, there was only one young woman left at the table.
She was wearing a pale yellow gauze, with an exquisite hosta on her head. She looked bright and enchanting.
“Miss Feng San, I’m Han Huxiao.”
Although he was well-known and a prominent figure in Chun Rin Canton, Han Huxiao spoke humbly.
He bent over and bowed respectfully to the young woman.
“What do you want?”
Feng Chengyu went straight to the point.
She had a lazy expression, making her look careless.
“Miss Feng San, please save my Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.”
Han Huxiao didn’t wait around. He just immediately explained his intentions for coming here.
“Save your Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall?”
Feng Chengyu raised her eyebrows lightly, and the corners of her mouth perked up. “Tell me the reason.”
Han Huxiao knew that Feng Chengyu was impatient, so he explained the reason in a few words.
“Someone wants to make a move on my Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.”
Feng Chengyu was not surprised, she instead just asked, “Do you know who it is?”
“Uncertain for now.”
Han Huxiao responded honestly, “But after a few days, the other party will definitely take action.”
Feng Chengyu smiled: “If I help you, what can you give me?”
“50% equity in the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.”
Han Huxiao gave out his offer.
“50%?”
Feng Chengyu smiled suddenly and shook her head. “All of it.”
Han Huxiao was startled. He didn’t expect Feng Chengyu to be so greedy.
“Miss San…”
Han Huxiao wanted to continue the discussion, but Feng Chengyu interrupted him.
“Hall Master Han, I don’t think I need to be involved.”
Feng Chengyu said, “No matter who is going after you, as long as I show my face, all of them will give me a 30% share. I don’t have to do anything at all, isn’t this better.”
Han Huxiao gritted his teeth. “Miss San, I am willing to give you 70% of the shares.”
Han Huxiao knew very well that this was no longer a matter of interest.
He was worried that once the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall fell, the tigers and hungry wolves behind their downfall would attack them desperately.
At that point, all of his family members, apprentices, and subordinates would be in danger.
After all these years of open and hidden battles, Han Huxiao and many people in the canton city would have deep grudges.
“70%…”
Faced with Han Huxiao’s latest offer, Feng Chengyu seemed a little interested.
“You are quite bold.”
Feng Chengyu chuckled, secretly admiring his courage. “70% is good, but I also have conditions.”
“Miss San, please tell us.”
Han Huxiao finally saw hope.
“I can protect the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, but only after one month.”
Feng Chengyu’s words almost made Han Huxiao choke. He was about to cough up a mouthful of blood.
But Han Huxiao was able to maintain composure.
“Hall Master Han, you have to understand.”
Feng Chengyu said, “After all, I am part of the Feng family. If I take action to do something, it is very likely that other people will interpret it the wrong way. My family will definitely make remarks to me. If I want to take action to protect you, you have to prove your worth. If you can’t last for even a month without me, why would I want to take on the burden that is the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall?”
After Han Huxiao heard this, his eyebrows furrowed.
He knew very well that the reason Feng Chengyu was waiting a month before protecting, was to see who was targeting the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.
If the opponent was difficult to deal with, Feng Chengyu might bail.
But even so, Han Huxiao had no other choice.
He had no other way out.
“Miss San, I accept your conditions.”
Han Huxiao finally chose to compromise.
