The autumn air was crisp, and the mist over the lake was vast and boundless.

At Wujiang Pier, as usual, it was bustling with activity.

However, near the river exit, a young man stood at the forefront, his figure tall and straight like a javelin, his expression calm, exuding an air of composure and confidence.

Behind the young man was a group of individuals dressed in various attires, all with imposing presences, yet each one showing a respectful demeanor.

Dozens of people stood together in silence, naturally instilling a sense of fear in onlookers.

"Who is this person? So impressive."

"Looks unfamiliar, but those standing behind him are not ordinary people, probably from a wealthy family?"

Not far away, a few people were quietly discussing, guessing the young man’s identity.

"A wealthy family’s child? Do you know who stands behind him?

That man with the goatee is Qian Hao, one of the rare brokerage managers in Wujiang County.

The fat man next to him is Boss Zhong, the shopkeeper of Yuelai Restaurant.

The inconspicuous old man beside them is actually the local headman of Ten-Mile Slope in the northern part of the city.

And those robust men, they are all from the Sunburst Gang, like Sword Madman Wang Peng, life-taking double swords Zhao Wu, and Three-Stroke Sword Tang Zhanfei...

Moreover, I just saw two Hall Masters from the Water Hall of the Sunburst Gang personally greet him... Do you think he’s just an ordinary wealthy family’s child?"

Upon hearing this, a young man nearby sneered and said.

"Then who is he?"

The few people who were discussing earlier looked at each other and carefully asked.

"Who is he? You’ll be shocked when I tell you."

The young man glanced at them with disdain and continued, "He is the Thunder Law Immortal Master who showcased great power during the recent Sunburst Gang and Nine Seals Sect battle, wielding the Thunder Punishment skill.

Now he is even more prestigious as the Vice Gang Leader of the Sunburst Gang, second only to the Gang Leader, Immortal Master Bai, Bai Ziyue."

The young man spoke with a fervent gaze toward the figure by the river.

"Hiss..."

The few people gasped, hearts filled with awe and reverence.

Thunder Law Immortal Master! Vice Gang Leader of the Sunburst Gang!

A great figure!

Now that’s a truly significant figure.

There are few in Wujiang County who can match him.

No wonder he has such an imposing presence, inspiring such respect.

"So this is Wujiang County? It’s indeed large."

The merchant ship docked, and Hee Honghua and Bai Yong disembarked, curiously looking around.

Then, soon, they saw the smiling figure standing and shivered with excitement, "Yue’er."

"Vice Gang Leader, I have fulfilled my duty, bringing the master and mistress here."

Pei Tugou hurriedly stepped forward, bowing respectfully.

"Hmm."

Bai Ziyue nodded, stepped forward, and said to Bai Yong and Hee Honghua, "Father, Mother, come, I’ll take you home."

...

"Yue’er, is this our home? It’s so big!"

Following Bai Ziyue into the Bai Mansion, Hee Honghua said in shock.

The garden, the lakeside, and the swimming fish, not only were the scenes beautiful, but also the fragrance of flowers filled the air, truly broadening her horizons.

"Greetings to the master and mistress."

At this moment, Little Tao and Little Ju gracefully stepped forward, greeting.

"Good, good, good..."

Bai Yong nodded repeatedly, a bit flustered and somewhat intrigued.

He didn’t expect to be served and addressed as ’master’ one day.

"Father, Mother, I’ll first show you around our house.

Then, I will arrange for someone to take you to receive our Bai Family’s estates, how about that?"

Bai Ziyue invited Bai Yong and Hee Honghua into the manor as he spoke.

"Estates? What estates?"

Bai Yong was about to nod but then raised his head in surprise, looking confused.

"Master should know, Vice Gang Leader Bai has five thousand acres of fertile land at Ten-Mile Slope outside Wujiang County, along with a Summer Villa, ten mountains, and numerous livestock."

An inconspicuous old man who had been following them all along, the local headman of Ten-Mile Slope, quickly stepped forward to report.

"In Wujiang County, Vice Gang Leader Bai owns thirteen residences, five of which are located in the bustling area of Wujiang County, each valued over a thousand taels of silver, with one covering eight acres and valued over ten thousand taels of silver.

The other eight are also worth no less than five hundred taels.

Moreover, Vice Gang Leader Bai also owns seventy-three street-facing shops, all rented out, though most are not large, the annual rent still totals around five thousand taels, with an overall value exceeding eighty thousand taels."

The brokerage manager of Wujiang County, Qian Hao, also stepped forward to reveal.

"In addition, our Yuelai Restaurant, ranked among the top ten in Wujiang County, also belongs to Vice Gang Leader Bai’s estate.

In the future, we will still need the master and mistress’ kind attention."

Yuelai Restaurant’s Shopkeeper Zhong respectfully stepped forward to greet.

"So much? Yue’er, all of these are yours?"

Bai Yong looked at Bai Ziyue in shock.

With all these estates combined, their value must be around two hundred thousand taels of silver?

Hee Honghua’s hands were trembling with excitement, her whole being in a state of disbelief.

Previously, Bai Ziyue had brought home quite a bit of silver coins, but it was within their expectations.

After all, when he held a high position in the Sunburst Gang’s branch in Qinghe Town, they were well taken care of.

But now, faced with these estates worth a total of two hundred thousand taels of silver, she was overwhelmed, utterly at a loss.

"These are nothing much."

Bai Ziyue softly said.

"Still not significant?

Yue’er, did you do something against your conscience?

Three years as Qing County Magistrate, ten thousand taels of silver, and it’s been less than half a year for you..."

Bai Yong, a bit anxious, asked with a serious face.

"Yes, Yue’er, having enough silver is sufficient, there’s no need for us to do anything against our conscience. If... if these assets really have unclear origins, we’d rather go back to Qinghe Town..."

Hee Honghua, who had also come to her senses, said with some concern from the side.

"Master, Madam, please don’t worry.

These assets are all legitimately obtained, there won’t be any issues.

Many of them were bestowed within the gang, gained justly.

The Vice Gang Leader’s reputation within the gang is also excellent; he has never done anything against his conscience."

Pei Tugou hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

"Rest assured, I won’t do anything against my principles.

These were all taken from hostile forces, there won’t be any problems."

Bai Ziyue also reassured them, then addressed Little Tao and Little Ju, who were standing nearby, "Bring it up."

"Yes!"

The two maids responded respectfully, quickly retreating.

Bai Yong looked at Bai Ziyue with some confusion. The events of today had been too overwhelming for him and he felt somewhat anxious.

He wondered what Bai Ziyue was planning next.

Bai Ziyue didn’t answer but instead said to Pei Tugou and the others, "You guys can head back first. Starting tomorrow, take the Master around to quickly take over those assets."

"Yes! Vice Gang Leader Bai."

"Yes! Young Master."

The group, understanding the situation, quickly withdrew.

The hall soon felt much more spacious.

Not long after, Little Tao and Little Ju each returned, one holding a set of garments and the other carrying an exquisite wooden box.

Bai Yong and Hee Honghua were both full of curiosity, especially upon seeing the garments, their hearts began to race with a hint of unease.

Could it be, official attire?

"Father, this is an identity I specifically requested from the government office for you, a Supervisor. Though it’s a nominal post, it is equivalent to a Junior Ninth Grade official in the government.

With this, you will have some prestige in Wujiang County and won’t be looked down upon."

Bai Ziyue said, handing the official attire to Bai Yong, and then opened the wooden box.

Inside, neatly placed, was a three-inch-square official seal and a formal appointment document.

With his current status and standing, securing an idle official position wasn’t difficult.

In fact, quite a few from the Sunburst Gang held positions within the government, including Gang Leader Jiangg Tao, who was a Senior Eighth Grade Military Officer, a position not low in rank.

"Official... official position..."

Bai Yong was dumbfounded, his eyes wide open.

He had never imagined that he could become an official.

Hee Honghua, who stood beside him, also wore a face full of disbelief.

Her husband, an official?

Coming from generations of farming families, the Bai and Hee families had never had anyone in an official position.

"Yue’er, if there’s more, just tell me, I... I can handle it."

Bai Yong stood up, and although he said this, his trembling hands clearly showed his anxiety.

Not wanting to appear fearful in front of his son, he quickly put on a stern face, feigning composure.

"There is indeed a place I’d like to take you to see."

Bai Ziyue said, quickly walking towards the back yard.

Bai Yong’s pupils contracted; there really was more? He hurriedly followed.

Hee Honghua, equally curious, quickly followed with her youngest son in her arms.

Along the way, the spacious corridors, drooping willows, and many blooming flowers gradually eased their previously tense nerves.

Exchanging a glance, they saw a hint of fear in each other’s eyes and laughed.

Soon, guided by Bai Ziyue, the group arrived in a spacious room.

"This will be your main bedroom from now on.

Then, underneath this main bedroom..." freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Bai Ziyue said as he turned a pillar at the head of the bed. After rotating it a full one hundred and eighty degrees...

Bang!

A dull thud, and suddenly, a staircase slanted downward appeared by the bed.

"What is this?"

Bai Yong was startled.

The thud even woke Bai Ziyue’s younger brother, who rubbed his eyes and looked around, confused.

"A treasure room, and my greatest gift to you."

Bai Ziyue said, leading the way down.

Bai Yong was about to digest Bai Ziyue’s words when he hurried after him.

Not having had a chance to descend, his body suddenly froze, standing motionless at the stairhead.

He initially believed he had been sufficiently composed after experiencing the previous shocks, thinking nothing else could surprise him.

But the moment he saw the contents of the secret room, he was still stunned.

His breathing quickened, his eyes gradually reddened.

Excitement could no longer describe his feelings.

"What’s the matter with you?"

Behind him, Hee Honghua gave him a push to get his attention, then saw the scene inside the secret room and was also dumbfounded.
