Chapter 35 - Taking in an Underling

Chapter 35 Taking in an Underling

Fang Chen glared at Old Fang with a dark expression and said with a dangerous gaze, “Old Fang, according to you, I still have to buy you some adult films and find you a wife to accompany you?”

Old Fang noticed Fang Chen’s gaze and quickly shook his head. “Young Master, what are you thinking? I mean, I want to find something to do. At least it won’t be boring.”

Only then did Fang Chen relax. He looked at the small courtyard that had been cleaned. Clearly, Old Fang was really bored.

“Old Fang, why don’t I teach you martial arts? Although I can’t teach you anything from the Whole Unitary Sect, I can teach you the Three Styles of Breeze. This way, if you really encounter some situations in the future, you can also defend yourself a little.”

Fang Chen had a sudden thought.

Old Fang was stunned. He only wanted Fang Chen to go to the Whole Unitary Sect to tell them to find him something to do, but Fang Chen actually wanted to teach him sword techniques. That… seems… interesting?”

seems..

“Alright, Young Master. You practice that set of sword techniques every day. Your physical condition seems to be getting better and better. It just so happens that I can also exercise my old arms and legs.” Old Fang nodded in agreement.

Fang Chen immediately perked up. Then, he handed the Green Destiny Sword to Old Fang and held the sect’s standard longsword. He began to teach Old Fang the Three Styles of Breeze.

“Aiya, not bad. Old Fang, it’s a pity that you didn’t practice martial arts when you were young. This move actually looks a little decent so quickly. I believe that in at most three days, you will be able to master the first move…”

It had to be said that Fang Chen was very patient as a master for the first time. Old Fang had clearly learned badly, but he kept teaching and encouraging him. Old Fang was very happy learning.

“Alright, Old Fang, practice this move for the next two days. When you can completely master its various variations and integrate them, you can learn the second move…”

Fang Chen taught Old Fang the first move. Unknowingly, it was lunchtime.

Because running to the dining hall often took some time, Fang Chen had already arranged for all three meals to be sent to the small courtyard in the morning. In any case, it was only a month’s worth of silver. Fang Chen could afford that.

When the food came, Fang Chen saw the medicinal cuisine with meat and vegetables and suddenly thought of the plan to get rich from selling his barbecue seasoning when he was on the way to the sect.

“Old Fang, I suddenly thought of something else for you to do,” said Fang Chen suddenly.

“Young Master, tell me. I can’t practice this sword technique all day. I want to find something else,” Old Fang said readily.

“You remember the barbecue seasoning we used on the way to the sect, right? I want to get a batch of barbecue seasoning and start selling them in the Whole Unitary Sect.

I’ll tell you the secret recipe for the barbecue seasoning. Then, I’ll buy the necessary medicinal ingredients from the dining hall. You’ll be in charge of preparing the barbecue seasoning for us.

“As long as we have the barbecue seasoning, I’ll think of a way to sell them to people who need them and persuade them to bring them out of the sect to help sell them. Once a stable market is formed, it will be a stable source of income for us.” Fang Chen rekindled his plan to get rich.

“That’s great, Young Master. I think this will work.” Old Fang’s eyes lit up, filled with anticipation for this plan.

Fang Chen nodded and wolfed down the rice before running straight to the dining hall. The dining hall cooked for martial artists, and most of the time, it was medicinal cuisine. The ingredients for the barbecue that Fang Chen needed were in the dining hall, so he directly ordered a large batch and asked Fang Chen to send it to the small courtyard.

The ready-made herbs followed Fang Chen into the small courtyard. As soon as the door closed, Fang Chen taught Old Fang how to prepare the barbecue.

After grinding the medicinal herbs into powder and matching them according to a fixed ratio, Old Fang learned it immediately.

“Alright, Old Fang, I’ll leave the final product of the barbecue to you from now on. When you make a certain amount of stock, I’ll be familiar with it in the sect. At that time, we’ll start our plan to get rich.”

Of course, Fang Chen still had to focus on cultivation. Therefore, the most important step of making the roasted meat was left to the bored Old Fang.

After this, the martial arts class in the afternoon was about to begin again. Fang Chen left the small courtyard and headed towards the Teaching Hall again.

“Senior Fang Chen, you’re here.”

“Senior Fang Chen, sit with me for this class.”

“Senior Fang Chen, there’s something I don’t understand about my cultivation technique this morning. Can you explain it to me?”

Fang Chen appeared in the Teaching Hall. There was still a while before the class began. This time, other than the infatuated little beauty, Dong Yue, some men and women surrounded him and greeted him respectfully. Some even asked for guidance. They had already consciously treated Fang Chen as the leader of this batch of new disciples.

If it were before, Fang Chen would not have bothered with these brats. However, since he had decided to develop a plan to make barbecue ingredients rich, Fang Chen would be a businessman in the future.

‘The more friends you have the more options you have in life. Therefore, when he saw others expressing their goodwill, Fang Chen did not put on any airs and responded to them one by one. This way, those disciples who were originally afraid that Fang Chen would be arrogant became even closer to him.

Initially, because Wang Jianan was the first place in the sect entrance examination, there were some people who expressed goodwill to him. However, Fang Chen stood out and did not get along with Wang Jianan. Therefore, the people around Wang Jianan came to Fang Chen’s side one after another, but they ignored Wang Jianan.

All of a sudden, Wang Jianan was alone.

Fang Chen naturally noticed this scene as well. After some thought, he took the initiative to approach Wang Jianan.

“Black monkey …” Fang Chen called out to Wang Jianan impolitely.

“Fang Chen, what… what do you want? I didn’t provoke you now. If you dare to bully me, I’ll tell Instructor Jiang.”

Wang Jianan was terrified. Fang Chen had a bunch of supporters now. With a single order, they could beat him up until he lose all of his teeth. However, he seemed to have a special fondness for snitching. When he saw Fang Chen approaching, he immediately became vigilant.

“Don’t worry, Black Monkey. I’m a magnanimous person. I won’t take revenge on you because of a small conflict.”

Fang Chen first dispelled Wang Jianan’s worries with a sentence, then said, “To be honest, among the new disciples present, other than me, you have the most aptitude and comprehension. I admire you very much, so I’m wondering if it’s possible for the two of us to turn hostility into friendship and maintain order in the classroom together so that our batch of new disciples can become the most outstanding in history.”

Fang Chen’s words were very tactful, but he believed that Wang Jianan, who was so smart, must know what he meant.

When Wang Jianan heard Fang Chen’s words, he was in disbelief. It could be said that Fang Chen was obviously here to take the initiative to express his goodwill.

Moreover, Wang Jianan could tell that Fang Chen wanted to take him in as his underling.

Wang Jianan had never thought about this situation before. After all, he had come in first in the sect’s aptitude test and had always thought that he would be the leader of this batch of new disciples. However, Fang Chen had stolen his limelight. This was also the reason why he had repeatedly caused trouble for Fang Chen in the morning.

But now, he realized that whether it was in terms of aptitude, comprehension, or character, he was inferior compared to Fang Chen.

After class in the morning, Wang Jianan had already thought of the gap between him and Fang Chen. Even just now, he had panicked and been taken revenge by Fang Chen. But now, Fang Chen actually said that he admired him. Wang Jianan was really touched and convinced.

“Fang Chen, you’re right. We entered the sect together. That’s fate. We shouldn’t have attacked each other and compared ourselves. We should have loved each other. I was wrong.

You’re stronger than me and a few years older than me. I admire you from the bottom of my heart now, so from today onwards, I, Wang Jianan, will follow your lead.”
