A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 583 It’s okay

"Really?" Tang Gun asked.

"Stop talking nonsense, are you going to close or not?" Chao Bufan said.

Upon hearing this, Tang Gun and the other two exchanged a glance, and then all closed their eyes.

With a flick of his finger, Chao Bufan sent a shiver down the spines of Tang Gun and the other two, followed by overwhelming joy. Ma Sanpao screamed, "Tian Yue, you..."

"Shut up," Chao Bufan shouted sharply, "You bastard, are you afraid no one can hear you?"

"Oh, oh." Ma Sanpao quickly covered his mouth with both hands and chuckled.

“Tian Yue,” Tang Gun said excitedly, “we thought you were lying to us, but it turns out…”

"Nonsense, I would never lie to you even if I lied to others!" Chao Bufan said. "Besides, when have I ever lied to you? Listen to this, you three. That senior said I was not allowed to tell anyone. I only told you because you are my brothers, and I passed on the knowledge to you. None of you are allowed to tell anyone."

"Tianyue, you're a true brother. Don't worry, we'd rather die than tell anyone." Yuan Qiu patted Chao Bufan on the shoulder and said resolutely.

“Sanpao,” Chao Bufan said solemnly, “with your current strength, let alone one Moon God, even if ten Moon Gods were in front of you, you could kill them all in one fell swoop. I said, I will avenge my father’s death. As for you, whether you avenge him or not is up to you.”

“Tian Yue,” Ma Sanpao said resolutely, “Stop talking. The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable. I will avenge him.”

Chao Bufan nodded, then asked Yuan Qiu and Tang Gun, "What about you two? Are you going to stand by and do nothing, or are you going to help?"

“Of course we’ll help,” Yuan Qiu said.

“Alright,” Chao Bufan nodded and said, “Then you guys help me find out the whereabouts of Moon Goddess Island. I want to offer his head as a sacrifice to my father.”

“That’s easy,” Yuan Qiu said. “I’ll just ask my father. He’s helped Moon Goddess Island with a shipment before.”

“Tian Yue,” Tang Gun said, “there’s something I don’t know whether I should say or not.”

Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "What is it? Speak!"

Tang Gun hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's about your fiancée."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's wrong with her?"

Tang Gun frowned slightly, then said, "Miss Linglong is already married."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan frowned and quickly asked, "Who did she marry?"

Tang Gun glanced at Yuan Qiu, who said, "She married Kuai Zhengliang, the son of the Moon Goddess."

“Tian Yue,” Tang Gun comforted her, “Actually, this Linglong girl isn’t that great either, you…”

Chao Bufan interrupted Tang Gun, then smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I've long since severed ties with her."

"That's good," Tang Gun said. "Now that you and she have nothing to do with each other, we can rest assured."

“That’s right,” Chao Bufan said with a smile. “My current wives are all as good as her. I’ll show you them another day.”

"Really?" Yuan Qiu and the other two said in unison.

“Of course it’s true,” Chao Bufan said, “but another day, not now. I need you to do something for me now.”

"Speak, what is it?" Tang Gun asked.

Chao Bufan said, "Hasn't the Moon Goddess already become the leader of the martial arts alliance? I heard from my senior brother and the others that many righteous sects were forced to choose him as the leader of the martial arts alliance under his coercion. Since that's the case, let's establish our own sect and give them a 'sea-turning' experience."

“Okay, no problem,” Tang Gun and the other two said in unison.

“I’ve already thought of the gang,” Chao Bufan continued. “Our gang will be called the ‘Gang of Four,’ and I’ll be the leader. What do you all think?”

“The Gang of Four…” Yuan Qiu and the others chewed on the words, then nodded in unison and said, “Okay, let’s call them the Gang of Four.”

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Chao Bufan tossed a gold bar in front of the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, keep the change."

The owner had been running this restaurant for decades, not just a year or two. So, he could tell the difference between real and fake gold and silver with just a glance. When he saw that the gold bar was genuine, his eyes lit up. When Chao Bufan told him to keep the change, he became even more excited and hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, young master, thank you, young master."

Yuan Qiu asked in surprise, "Tian Yue, you only consider such a large gold bar as the cost of a meal?"

Chao Bufan said, "It's just a gold bar, nothing special."

"You little brat, when did you become so generous?" Yuan Qiu said, looking every bit the spendthrift. "Do you know that gold bar we just had is enough for us to live a life of luxury, and you actually..."

“It’s alright,” Chao Bufan laughed. “I have plenty of gold bars. Here, you can each have one.”

As he spoke, Chao Bufan produced three gold bars. Yuan Qiu and the others were overjoyed and, without a word, grabbed one each.

"Hahaha, I'm finally free from worries about food and clothing!" Yuan Qiu said with a look of surprise.

"Tianyue, where did you get so many gold bars?" Tang Gun asked excitedly.

"They were all given to me by that senior," Chao Bufan said.

"Oh, I knew it! So it was given to you by that senior." Tang Gun said, then laughed and said, "Haha, with this gold bar, I'll have more confidence in front of the girls from now on."

Yuan Qiu asked in confusion, "Tang Gun, don't you like Ah Hong?"

"Of course," Tang Gun laughed. "From now on, I'm going to make sure Ah Hong lives a good life."

"Alright," Chao Bufan said irritably, "It's just a gold bar, why are you all so happy? Well, it's getting late, everyone go home first. When you get back, you can consolidate what I taught you. I'll come find you tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

……

"Junior brother, why are you only just getting back! If you hadn't come home soon, we would have come looking for you."

The three Chu brothers sat in front of the house, anxiously waiting. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Chao Bufan had finally returned.

Wang Er asked, "Junior Brother, where have you been? Do you know how worried we were? If anything happened to you, how would we face our Master?"

Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "Senior brothers, look how worried you are. Didn't I tell you? I'm just going out for a walk to clear my head. Nothing will happen."

Chu Xiong nodded and said meaningfully, "It's good that you're alright."

Chao Bufan felt incredibly warm, as his three senior brothers had always been very caring and considerate towards him.

"Junior brother, you haven't finished eating yet, have you? The food is still warming in the pot! I'll go get it," Wang Er said.
