Chapter 80 Greetings, Leader!
Chapter 80 Greetings, Leader!
Yue Feng asked the servant who knocked on the door, "What business does the Great Wind Gang have with me?"
The servant replied, "I don't know. The two gentlemen only said that they wanted me to come and see if you were available, Young Master Feng. If so, they would like to pay you a visit."
Yue Feng sighed mysteriously, "Alright, let's invite them over."
The servant obeyed and soon brought Deng Jun and Chen Ji back. After entering the room and closing the door, the two men bowed deeply to Yue Feng, saying, "Greetings, Chief!"
Yue Feng quickly helped them up, saying with a helpless expression, "You guys had nothing better to do on Mount Hua than start the Big Wind Gang, but why did you insist on making me the leader? Brother Deng, can't you be a good leader?"
Deng Jun laughed and said, "Among us brothers, who can compare to you, the gang leader, in terms of martial arts and strategy? If you don't want to be the gang leader, I dare not accept it."
Chen Ji also said, "Yes, boss, we all gathered together because of you. If you don't become the leader, I think these brothers will fall apart."
Hearing the sincerity in their tone, Yue Feng had no choice but to reluctantly accept the appointment as leader of the Great Wind Gang. Thinking of his future plans, he spoke frankly to the two:
"Since the Great Wind Gang originated in Huayin, you two should stay here and manage it well. I have many things to do later and can't stay in Huayin forever. However, this is my home after all, and I will eventually have to come back."
Deng Jun was already mentally prepared for this, and upon hearing this, he said, "Don't worry, Chief, leave the Great Wind Gang to us. We'll make sure you take good care of things, haha!"
The three men exchanged smiles, everything understood without a word. Deng Jun then reported to Yue Feng on the general progress of the Great Wind Gang since its establishment, finally mentioning the banquet with the Wei River Gang that evening. Deng Jun said:
"Before attending the banquet, I had been looking for an opportunity to ask the gang leader what strategy to use to deal with the Weihe Gang. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the time."
"I can only speculate on the leader's intentions based on his actions since arriving in Huayin. Therefore, at tonight's banquet, I proposed cooperating with the Weihe Gang to jointly resist the Xie family. I wonder if this aligns with the leader's wishes?"
Yue Feng patted Deng Jun on the shoulder, his eyes full of admiration:
"What you've done is exactly what I wanted. Right now, the situation in Huayin is turbulent, and storms are brewing all around Jade Maiden Peak. I've already devised a plan to deal with the Eastern Depot and the Songshan Sect. At this critical juncture, we absolutely cannot let the Xie family interfere again. And to counter the Xie family, the Weihe Gang is a rather ideal partner."
Deng Jun said, "My opinion of the Weihe Gang is basically the same as the gang leader's. Brother Chen and I have both had a lot of dealings with the Weihe Gang. Most of their members are decent, and the few scoundrels have all been dealt with by Brother Chen. Isn't that right, Brother Chen?"
Chen Ji grinned and said half-jokingly, "Boss, this knife of mine is already chipped, and you don't even offer to replace it with a better one."
Yue Feng suddenly remembered that he hadn't paid Chen Ji's salary yet. He took out a stack of silver notes from his pocket, divided them into two piles without counting, and handed one pile to Deng Jun and one to Chen Ji: "Take this money and spend it, whether you want to give it to yourselves or to the gang, it's up to you."
Deng Jun glanced at the silver notes and couldn't help but gasp: "Chief, this is too much. The gang isn't short of money lately. You should..."
Chen Ji interrupted Deng Jun with a whistle. He grinned, stuffed the silver notes into his pocket, and gave Yue Feng a thumbs-up: "The boss is generous!"
Yue Feng pointed at Chen Ji and said to Deng Jun, "Look at him, how straightforward he is. Just think of me, as the gang leader, doing my part for the gang."
Since Yue Feng had said so, Deng Jun had no choice but to accept. The three then returned to their previous topic. Deng Jun said:
"Once we form an alliance with the Weihe Gang, the other small gangs in Huayin County will be no threat. The real concern is the Xie family. Although Huayin County has a gang leader, and the Xie family can't cause much trouble, they keep sending people over, leaving us in a very passive position."
Yue Feng smiled and nodded: "Brother Deng, we're on the same page again. As the saying goes, 'Strength cannot last, and gentleness cannot be maintained.' A passive defense is never a good thing."
"Therefore, I want Chen Ji to go to Huazhou and cause as much trouble as possible for the Xie family. As long as we can hold them back and keep them from looking east, we can free up our hands to fight them once things are settled in Huayin."
Chen Ji was overjoyed: "Boss, you really understand me! I love doing this kind of thing where people come to cause trouble!" Yue Feng and Deng Jun exchanged a glance and laughed.
Deng Jun laughed and said, "The leader is wise. Sending Brother Chen to Huazhou is indeed the right thing to do. I have another suggestion: if Brother Chen needs help in Huazhou, he might as well go to the headquarters of the Weihe Gang. After all, they are allies, so why not use them?"
The three of them burst into laughter. After finishing their business, they began discussing martial arts. Even as dawn approached, they were still engrossed in their conversation, but Deng Jun and Chen Ji had to leave.
After seeing the two off, Yue Feng lay down on the bed, wanting to take a nap, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter what he did. So he opened the panel and saw that he still had 290 access points left, and decided to do some point-adding for the first time in a long time.
[Remaining Access Points: 60]
[The Ten Elders of the Demonic Cult's Ultimate Technique: Mastery]
【One Fusion - Giant Spirit Golden Body: Perfection】
【Yi Rong · Cloud Platform Flight: Perfection】
【Demon-Subduing Palm: Perfection】
[The Secret to Overcoming Evil and Revealing Righteousness: Perfection]
【Golden Wind and Jade Dew: Perfection】
【Yi Rong · Maha Vajra Finger: Minor Success】
【Three Fusions - Nameless Sword Technique: Minor Success】
Yue Feng had originally planned to max out all martial arts techniques except for the Ten Elders of the Demonic Sect's ultimate moves and the Nameless Sword Technique, but to his surprise, he only managed to reach the minor mastery level of the Maha Vajra Finger before running out of points. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly; these points were truly hard to earn and easy to spend!
Fortunately, there was something that Yue Feng found good: after the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Finger reached perfection, in addition to the original effects being greatly enhanced, it could also accelerate the cultivation of internal energy during the dormant period.
Only Yue Feng could force the Golden Wind Jade Dew Finger technique to lie dormant. The dormancy period could range from several days to a year, depending on Yue Feng's discretion. This was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for Yue Feng, who preferred to deliver a blow followed by a reward.
He turned off the control panel, drowsiness washed over him, and Yue Feng fell asleep immediately. He slept until the sun was high in the sky before getting up. When Xiong Zhaozhao came to find him, he learned that Yue Lingshan had been picked up by Linghu Chong and the others early that morning, and he immediately frowned.
"Why didn't you call me for something this important?"
Xiong Zhaozhao's eyes widened: "Why didn't I come! You were sleeping like a log, I couldn't wake you up no matter what I did. Besides, the disciples of the Huashan Sect are taking Sister Lingshan back, what's the big deal? You're that concerned about Sister Lingshan?"
Yue Feng didn't answer, but asked her again, "Did you send anyone to escort them?"
"We wanted to send them, but they said it wasn't necessary."
Yue Feng clicked his tongue, abruptly stood up, and walked outside. Xiong Zhaozhao quickly followed. Although she didn't understand why Yue Feng was in such a hurry, she still ordered her servants to quickly bring two fast horses, and she rode alongside Yue Feng south out of the city.
The two walked along the official road for a while, and a restaurant by the roadside gradually came into view. Six ugly old men were gathered around the restaurant entrance, laughing and shouting loudly. Linghu Chong's frustrated voice came from inside the restaurant:
"Six seniors, we truly don't know where our junior brother is. Why won't you believe us?"
