Chapter 108: Xiao Family's Xiao Yucheng - First Update! Requesting Monthly Votes!!
After completing the ceremony, Han Xiaoran had a warm conversation with Chu Xiong Cheng, the patriarch, and then warned several major families before leaving in a hurry.
The arrival and departure were as swift as a thunderous wind, leaving everyone feeling as if they were dreaming!
This feeling extended even to everyone in the Chu Family.
For the Chu Family, this was an enormous blessing! It even dispersed the sorrowful atmosphere caused by the deaths of Chu Feilong and his son to the greatest extent possible.
Originally, the Chu Family's greatest source of income was just competing with the other two families for the Xiao Family's trade routes. As for the business of the Law Enforcement Hall, the Chu Family did not even dare to think about it.
That was undoubtedly a large cake, but the Chu Family had no ability to take a bite out of it. Furthermore, the enforcers were notoriously difficult to deal with; if there was even the slightest mistake, the entire Chu Family would not be enough to appease the wrath of the enforcers.
But now, this monumental blessing had not only arrived at their doorstep but had also come with generous treatment; not only was the financial route handed to them for free, but they were also not required to take on any responsibility...
Where was there such good fortune?
The Liao Family and the Bao Family were also thoroughly stunned: if that was the case, aligning with the Chu Family was not a bad thing at all, because... it was clear that the Chu Family had connections that reached the heavens...
With a big tree to lean against, it was much easier to find shade! Now that the Chu Family was just beginning to develop and didn’t have many available personnel, they only needed to work a bit harder, and once they developed, could it be that they would still be treated poorly?
The future looked bright!
The Chu Family immediately became busy.
Old Master Chu took this opportunity to begin consolidating the three major families. Chu Feiling and Chu Feiyan, the two leaders, quickly took office, selecting personnel. The three major families came together, and all lord-level experts above the imperial throne fifth rank were pulled out to form a commercial caravan escort team.
Each family contributed three lord-level experts, while the Chu Family provided four, totaling ten lord-level experts to lead the charge.
They were ready to set off as bodyguards and commence trading at any moment.
The anticipated resistance from the other two noble families did not occur; instead, there was considerable cooperation. Everything progressed smoothly, with the Liao Family becoming the second branch of the Chu Family and the Bao Family the third. Naturally, the Chu Family became the headquarters...
By the afternoon, news from the Law Enforcement Auction Hall arrived through Qin Baoshan: there was a task coming in.
Chu Feiling and Chu Feiyan immediately set off, beginning the journey of strengthening the Chu Family...
Meanwhile, the family funeral for the Chu Family was hastily handled; although the proceedings were conducted with some grandeur, it didn’t amount to a significant occasion. After all, Old Master Chu was still alive, and as long as an elder was present, the deaths of Chu Feilong and his son could only be seen as untimely deaths... it was not considered a major loss. This was according to the customs of the Nine Heavens…
Everything was proceeding in a rapid and simplified manner. The divine doctor watched and listened for a while, and finally realized that even if he were not present, it seemed nothing would change.
His presence was akin to a rabbit being caught on the night of the New Year: whether he was there or not, the New Year would still come.
Thus, the divine doctor decided to sneak away.
Taking advantage of everyone's distraction, Chu Yang quietly began to move. After a few steps, he was grabbed by a pair of small hands: "Take me back too."
It was none other than Chu Le'er.
