64: Chapter 64 Mu Mingzhu

After feeling the benefits brought by the spirit spring water, the eyes of the three women all lit up.

Then, Widow Wang looked at Chen Hu with tender, watery eyes: "Brother Hu, you are truly kind."

"Thank you, Brother Hu!"

Qianxue and Qianyu also chimed in.

"Remember to keep this a secret, don't tell outsiders, eat!"

After the meal, Chen Hu headed toward the hall at a leisurely pace.

Entering the public room, he first brewed a pot of tea for himself.

Then it was time to open the cards.

He opened all the ordinary cards first.

Chen Hu prepared to open two meat field cards.

However, since he had just opened exotic beast meat yesterday, he likely wouldn't open it again today.

As expected, both meat field cards yielded ordinary cooked meat.

Next was the spirit fruit card, which yielded a vermilion fruit the size of a cherry, emitting a refreshing, exotic fragrance.

"Put it away for now!"

Next, he opened a Spirit Medicine card, obtaining a Spirit Medicine of unknown effect.

He then opened an alchemy card, yielding a qi and blood pill.

From the weapon card, he obtained an ordinary mortal weapon.

The fine wine card yielded 10 jin of Shaodaozi, and the spirit spring card yielded 5 jin of spirit spring water.

Then Chen Hu took out the martial arts cultivation card.

"Activate!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 10 days of cultivation!"

Chen Hu stood up and latched the door of the public room.

To avoid being disturbed while absorbing the cultivation.

"Use!"

A surge of internal Qi flowed directly into his Dantian, and soon, the internal Qi in his Dantian reached a state of saturation.

The remaining cultivation automatically tempered the bones of his limbs.

In the Bone Refining Realm, one must undergo bone tempering three times to be considered perfect.

This was Chen Hu's second time undergoing bone tempering.

However, the second bone tempering was much more difficult.

Therefore, the remaining cultivation was completely exhausted after barely tempering the bones of his arms.

Chen Hu was not anxious about this.

Anyway, he could obtain cultivation every day, and in just a few days, he would be able to complete the third bone tempering.

Next, Chen Hu took out the enlightenment card and used it on the Clear Wind Movement Technique.

A familiar feeling washed over him.

Chen Hu felt as if he had Transmigration again, bitterly cultivating the Clear Wind Movement Technique under the guidance of his Master.

Years later, after he had Cultivated the movement technique to Perfection, he was kicked out of that world.

The cultivation memories merged perfectly, and Chen Hu's Clear Wind Movement Technique reached Perfection.

From then on, posing as a Disciple of the Clear Wind Sword Sect would be as easy as pie.

Next, Chen Hu used the treasure hunting card, accumulating another treasure location.

Then, he used the connection card.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a Grade C connection!"

"Use!"

Putting away the used connection card, Chen Hu took out the intelligence card.

Today's intelligence: The Holy Moon Sect has not given up on the Heaven Mending Secret Technique and has sent a Marrow Refining Realm expert to monitor the Sun father and daughter, hoping to find clues about the Heaven Mending Secret Technique from them.

Upon learning that the Holy Moon Sect had sent a Marrow Refining Realm expert, Chen Hu felt a chill in his heart and secretly warned himself never to go to Wanhua Pavilion.

Afterward, he got up, prepared to go to the Slum Area to take a look.

He didn't go yesterday, so he didn't know how many lackeys he could recruit today.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Hu arrived at the large courtyard in the Slum Area.

He discovered a group of children squatting on both sides of the gate.

"Come on, all of you, get in!"

Chen Hu called this group of children into the large courtyard.

He began to go through the process.

After finishing the process, Chen Hu had 22 more lackeys.

The total number of lackeys exceeded 400, reaching 409.

He pulled up the lottery interface.

There were two more Elementary lotteries and one Intermediate lottery.

At this moment, Mrs. Liao took the initiative to greet him.

"Lord Hu, there is news about the courtyard you asked me to keep an eye on. Would you like to go take a look?"

"Lead the way!"

Chen Hu said decisively.

"Alright, Lord Hu, please follow me."

Before long.

Mrs. Liao led Chen Hu to an old, large courtyard.

Mrs. Liao took out a key, opened the large courtyard gate, and led Chen Hu inside to look around.

After a rough tour, Chen Hu was quite satisfied with this courtyard.

Because it was a four-section courtyard, it could house more children.

"Who is the landlord?"

Chen Hu asked Mrs. Liao.

Mrs. Liao said: "Lord Hu, the landlord's surname is Mu. She is a Young Miss. She instructed me that if you, Lord Hu, liked it, you should go to Mingxin Teahouse to find her!"

After thinking for a moment, Mrs. Liao added: "That Young Miss Mu is also the owner of Mingxin Teahouse."

"Alright, I understand!" Chen Hu nodded and tossed Mrs. Liao a piece of broken silver: "This is your reward."

"Lord Hu, how can I accept this!"

"Just take it. Do you think I'd make you work for nothing?"

Before long.

Chen Hu arrived at Mingxin Teahouse.

"This guest, please come in. Will you be sitting in the main hall or a private room?" The tea attendant greeted him with a smile and asked.

Chen Hu spoke straightforwardly: "I am not here to drink tea. I intend to rent that four-section courtyard in the Slum Area. The landlord invited me to meet here. Is she here?"

"Yes, she is, she is. That courtyard belongs to our owner. Distinguished guest, please go upstairs. The owner will be here shortly!"

The tea attendant said hurriedly.

Chen Hu drank tea in the private room upstairs for a while, and then a knock sounded on the door.

"Please come in!"

The next moment, a maid pushed open the door, and a young girl wearing a veil and a jade-green dress walked in.

Then, the other party bowed and saluted: "I am Mu Mingzhu, greetings to Hall Master Chen!"

Looking at the 60 friendliness rating above her head, Chen Hu knew this was the Grade C connection from the connection card.

"Young Miss Mu, no need for such formalities, please sit!"

Chen Hu responded politely, while simultaneously taking out the copy card. He discovered that this Mu Mingzhu had no cultivation, and her talent was very poor; she possessed a Lower-Tier Mortal Body.

"Young Miss Mu, open people don't speak in riddles. You invited me here, but it's not just as simple as renting a house, right?" Chen Hu said, looking at Mu Mingzhu. Although this young girl was just an ordinary person, she had a unique temperament.

"I knew I couldn't hide it from Hall Master Chen!"

Mu Mingzhu chuckled: "Hall Master Chen, it is like this: I have encountered a small problem. If Hall Master Chen is willing to help me solve this small problem, I can directly transfer that courtyard to you, Hall Master Chen!"

"Why don't you tell me about your trouble!" Chen Hu said.

Mu Mingzhu began: "My family has a modest amount of property. Because my father passed away some time ago, I have no support. Relatives from my father's side came to my door, wanting to seize the family property.

In desperation, I had to give up some money, hoping to send them away.

As a result, I underestimated their greed.

After taking the money, they still lingered in my home and refused to leave.

Recently, my maid even overheard that they plan to marry me off so they can completely seize my family's property!"

"Have you never thought about reporting it to the authorities?"

Chen Hu asked.

Mu Mingzhu smiled bitterly: "I am just an orphan girl, and being a woman, it is inevitably inconvenient to act. If I really report it to the authorities, the government might not necessarily side with me!"

Hearing Mu Mingzhu say this, Chen Hu realized that this was not modern society, but an ancient feudal society.

If Mu Mingzhu chose to report to the authorities and the government made a ruling, it would be good if she could even keep a small portion of her assets.

"Then why did you look for me to help you solve the problem? I am a Gang member. Once involved, aren't you afraid that I might become greedy?" Chen Hu asked again.

Mu Mingzhu said: "I hope Hall Master Chen won't be angry, but before I decided to ask for your help, I had someone investigate you. I know your reputation is very good, and furthermore, you have taken in so many children in the Slum Area. You are definitely not a bad person!"

"Hahaha!" Chen Hu laughed loudly: "Then how do you want me to help you?"

"I only need you to help me drive those relatives away!" Mu Mingzhu said.

"Just drive them away?"

Chen Hu asked meaningfully: "If I help you drive them away today, they can still come back tomorrow. I can't possibly come here every day to help you drive people away, right?"

"This?"

Mu Mingzhu said with some hesitation: "If you could make them leave and never come back again, that would be even better. As long as Hall Master Chen can do that, in addition to that large courtyard, I can add 500 taels of silver as a reward!"
