Cooperation with Associations

"Chen'er, are you ready?" Fang An knocked on Xiao Chen's door, wanting to invite him to attend the funeral.

Xiao Chen opened his bedroom door, he had just finished changing and put the book he had just written into his robes. Xiao Chen was planning to leave the palace after the funeral so he also took the gold medal that Jiang Kun had given him with him.

"I was ready since last, master." Xiao Chen paid his respects to Fang An.

"Okay, let's go. The sect master should be there already."

Both of them headed to the main hall which has now become the venue for the funeral ceremony. The atmosphere was busier than Xiao Chen had thought.

Xiao Chen guessed that since the Mu Family and Liu Family had publicly expressed their support, most of the ministers and businessmen appeared to show their condolences as well as offer support to Crown Prince Song.

"Looks like there are some minor noble families as well." Xiao Chen thought when he saw several young men wearing silk robes, as far as he knew, only the nobility used to wear them.

Xiao Chen saw Mu Rong who kept crying in front of the guests and Yin Xuehua standing still beside her with blank eyes.

Yin Song received the important guests with a cold face, Jiang Kun was seen behind him with an elderly man.

"The elder standing beside the Sect Master Jiang is the Black Wolf Sect Sect Master, Feng Lang. Don't forget to pay respects to Sect Master Feng later." Fang An reminded.

Xiao Chen nodded slowly, the two then conveyed their condolences and paid their last respects to Yin Song's two sons. Even when Xiao Chen was in front of Xuehua, the girl's gaze was blank and she didn't notice his presence.

Mu Rong thanked Fang An but her tears couldn't stop flowing. Fang An took Xiao Chen to greet Yin Song and Jiang Kun and Feng Lang.

"Chen'er, Sorry for not being able to give you a warm welcome." Yin Song smiled faintly as he stroked Xiao Chen's head, seeing the young man helping his daughter made Yin Song slightly amused.

Feng Lang watched Xiao Chen for a while but didn't make any comments, Jiang Kun told Xiao Chen to rest early after he finished talking with Yin Song. Jiang Kun knew that Xiao Chen would be leaving the palace after this.

"Elder Fang, I didn't expect we would meet this soon again."

When Fang An and Xiao Chen finished greeting Yin Song, a young man carrying a fan in his hand approached the two. The young man was not a stranger to either of them, he was the Young Master of the Liu family, namely Liu Cheng, who some time ago managed to escape from the hands of the Flower of Sin Organization thanks to Fang An's help.

"Young Master Liu, it is nice to see you again." Fang An smiled gently to greet Liu Cheng.

Liu Cheng tells that he came as a representative of the Liu family to provide support to Yin Song. Although many ministers and officials in Luoyang were from the Liu family, they could not represent the Liu family because of their position in the government.

"Elder Fang, I hope you will allow me to host you tomorrow." Liu Cheng was going to be staying for a while at Yin Song residence, he wanted to use this opportunity to deepen his relationship with Fang An.

Xiao Chen did not escape Liu Cheng's attention. If remember Iron Eagle, Fei Ying praising Xiao Chen as a genius who will become a great swordsman in the future, of course Liu Cheng intends to build a relationship with him.

Fei Ying was one of the three strongest warriors working for the Liu family, Liu Cheng had never in his life heard Fei Ying praise someone like he gave Xiao Chen.

"Master, I want to go back to practicing in my room. An atmosphere like this, not suitable for me."

Xiao Chen felt that now he couldn't do anything even to comfort Xuehua, so when Liu Cheng asked Fang An to talk, he chose to withdraw.

Fang An looked at Xuehua who was still frozen beside Mu Rong, before allowing Xiao Chen to leave the funeral.

Xiao Chen naturally did not return to his room, after being in a quite quiet place he hurriedly left the Crown Prince's residence. Even though he wasn't able to move as fast as Jiang Kun but Xiao Chen wasn't too slow either.

Showing off the gold medal, Xiao Chen had no trouble leaving the palace. Once outside the palace grounds, Xiao Chen moved even faster towards the Silver Moon Association.

It didn't take long for him to arrive at the Silver Moon Association. When Xiao Chen entered the building, a maid approached him and immediately took him to a special room, this maid seemed to have been waiting for his arrival.

"Young Master Xiao, I have been waiting for your arrival."

When Xiao Chen entered the room the maid had directed, a girl was already sitting in it, smiling gently.

"Miss Yuan, Sorry to keep you waiting." Xiao Chen smiled faintly as he gave a greeting.

Yuan Qianyu motioned for Xiao Chen to sit opposite her, the two of them were only separated by a round table and on the table were several small boxes.

"Young Master Xiao, thanks to your help we have gotten the help we need. As per my promise, all the pills you previously saw will be the payment for the information Young Master provides." Qianyu let Xiao Chen check the contents of the boxes.

"If so then I will not hesitate." Xiao Chen started going through the boxes.

"Young Master Xiao, I want us to continue working together. I'm sure young master can help us further." Qianyu spoke again while Xiao Chen was busy checking his gifts, "I hope Young Master will be willing to lend a helping hand to us."

Xiao Chen chuckled, he didn't answer right away but instead continued to check every box Qianyu gave him.

Even though Yuan Qianyu looked calm and even smiled broadly, actually this girl's back was covered in cold sweat as she talked to Xiao Chen.

"There is an excess of a few pills, Miss Yuan sure you didn't miscalculate this gift?" Xiao Chen finally finished checking all the boxes.

"Young Master Xiao is aware of it, it is as a token of gratitude that the information you provided was so accurate that we were able to recruit the talents we needed without difficulty." Qianyu chuckled as she covered her mouth with one hand.

Qianyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she already suspected that Xiao Chen was remembering the number of pills displayed earlier. In order to make sure there were no mistakes, Qianyu put in more because she couldn't remember the exact amount.
