School Beauty's Peerless Soldier

Chapter 581: The Zhou Family's Atonement


Xu Fan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the marvel of the clouds swallowing and exhaling around him, and smiled as he spoke.

"Ah? This..."

Upon hearing Xu Fan's comment, Han Dongxu furrowed his brows, somewhat perplexed.

But after a moment's thought, he seemed to understand.

"That's true. On Purple Gold Mountain, there are many villas, but only this one stands at the summit—Yunsheng Villa."

Although the Zhou Family was not comparable to the major clans of Shanghai, this villa that proudly stood atop Purple Gold Mountain indeed brought much prestige to them.

After all, many people had spent fortunes, only to achieve nothing comparable.

"Not only that, from certain perspectives, this villa is also one of the reasons behind the Zhou Family's rise."

At that moment, Xu Fan shifted his gaze and said, "From a Feng Shui perspective, the summit of Purple Gold Mountain is known as the realm of 'Eight Dragons Supporting the Saint.'

"Eight Dragons Supporting the Saint?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Fan knew Feng Shui. Han Dongxu shook his head—he was not too familiar with these concepts.

Now standing on the summit, Xu Fan overlooked the mountain ridges below and said, "Look below at Purple Gold Mountain. Surrounding ridges rise and fall with extraordinary vigor, as if eight distinctively poised flood dragons lie hidden within the underbrush. The summit is even more enveloped by rising clouds and mist, exuding an exceptional breadth, which in Feng Shui is called a treasure land."

Having heard quite a bit about this knowledge in his past, Xu Fan, now pointing around the ridges, said, "Around here, if one more dragon could be found, it would be a Feng Shui realm known as 'Nine Dragons Supporting the Saint.'"

"Such a location, in ancient times, would have been the top choice for an Emperor to establish his capital. Do you think Zhou Dasheng would sell such a valuable spot?"

Regardless of whether the Feng Shui worked, living in such a place would likely extend one's lifespan, which was something money couldn't compare with.

"That makes sense."

Han Dongxu nodded. Now he understood why those people were so intent on Yunsheng Villa.

At this, he smirked and said, "But still, we're one dragon short, right?"

"With Zhou Dasheng included, wouldn't that make up the perfect count of nine dragons?"

Xu Fan smiled as he looked at Han Dongxu and said.

"This..."

Han Dongxu chuckled and shook his head, probably guessing that Boss had it right—Zhou Dasheng must have had the same thoughts on this.

Self-esteemed as the True Dragon, and even those nobles seeking to buy Yunsheng Villa thought similar thoughts.

"Boss, Zhou Dasheng is coming out."

After chatting for a bit, they saw an old man about sixty years old emerging from the entrance of Yunsheng Villa, escorted by servants.

Most likely having heard the noise of the cars outside, Han Dongxu leaned into Xu Fan's ear and whispered a reminder.

"Alright, let's go over."

Xu Fan nodded, and leading Han Dongxu, approached Zhou Dasheng.

Perhaps due to the long years spent living at Yunsheng Villa, Zhou Dasheng was well over sixty but showed no signs of his age.

"Mr. Xu, at last, we have the honor of your arrival."

Seeing Xu Fan approaching, he smiled and actively welcomed him.

The Clan Leader of the Zhou Family should not have lowered himself in such a way, yet at that moment, he truly didn't care about such formalities.

"Clan Leader Zhou, you're indeed residing in a marvelous place."

Without seeing Zhou Zidong, Xu Fan narrowed his eyes, offering a polite remark.

"Hehe, Mr. Xu, this old man was just lucky to have gotten this villa,"

Zhou Dasheng replied modestly with a smile, "Come on, Mr. Xu, please come in, let's talk inside."

Then, signaling the servants to lead the way, Zhou Dasheng walked ahead and led Xu Fan into the villa.

Winding through pavilions and alleys, with Xu Fan witnessing the scenery inside the villa, they soon arrived at the reception hall.

After inviting Xu Fan to sit down, Zhou Dasheng commanded the servants of the house to prepare tea for Xu Fan.

Once the tea was ready, Zhou Dasheng, smiling, said, "Mr. Xu, please try this newly acquired Da Hong Pao."

Picking up the teacup placed on the table by a servant, Xu Fan smiled and said, "Indeed, it is good tea."

Not to mention the tea leaves that cost over ten thousand per sip in this cup, the blue porcelain cup held in his hand alone was worth over a million.

Having followed Zhou Dasheng on the way here, Xu Fan had seen many precious collections; at this moment, he did not drink the tea, merely looked at it and set it back down.

"Clan Leader Zhou, you didn't invite me over today just to show off how wealthy the Zhou family is, did you?"

"This..."

Zhou Dasheng heard Xu Fan's words and awkwardly smiled.

He then sighed deeply and shook his head, "My Zhou family just has some money, but Mr. Xu, you possess unique skills that far surpass my Zhou family's mere riches."

Unmoved by his own acting, Zhou Dasheng was well aware that the young man before him was not so easily fooled.

Looking at Xu Fan, he then said, "Honestly, the main reason I invited Mr. Xu here is because of the trouble caused by my unfilial grandson."

"Oh?"

"The person who caused the trouble is not here, I don't know, has he conveyed to you his words?"

Xu Fan looked indifferently at Zhou Dasheng and said.

This guy was practically a sly fox, and his words could not be taken at face value.

If he truly intended to apologize, why would he hide Zhou Zidong?

"Naturally."

Zhou Dasheng nodded at this point and stood up from the Taishi chair.

With a respectful face, Zhou Dasheng then bowed in apology, "This time Zidong made a mistake, and as his grandfather, I too failed in my teaching. I hope Mr. Xu, you can forgive us a lot."

After he finished, Zhou Dasheng glanced at a servant nearby, who, understanding his look, hurriedly left the reception hall.

Soon, the servant returned carrying a red booklet.

At this point, Han Dongxu took the booklet for Xu Fan, glanced at it, and couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

The Yunsheng Villa, the dream of countless wealthy individuals, had changed owners within just two days...

Now the name of the person holding the property had officially been changed to Xu Fan!

Holding this heavy property deed, Han Dongxu's heart was far from calm.

Having just walked in, he understood even more how valuable the entire Yunsheng Villa was.

Even the feng shui treasure of the land known as "Eight Dragons Support the Saint" was an invaluable asset.

Now, the Zhou family, in their attempt to atone, had offered this to Xu Fan... they had indeed made a significant sacrifice!

"Clan Leader Zhou, what do you mean by this?"

At this point, Han Dongxu leaned over to Xu Fan's ear and quietly explained. Xu Fan glanced indifferently and then looked back at Zhou Dasheng.

Zhou Dasheng hadn't expected that today, by inviting him to Purple Gold Mountain, it was for this display of offering treasures.

"Ah..."

Zhou Dasheng sighed, smiled bitterly and said, "With such trouble stirred up by my unfilial grandson, I, as his elder, must bear the responsibility."

"After much consideration, only this Yunsheng Villa seems enough to atone for his sins, and I hope Mr. Xu you will accept it, and hereafter let this major issue be diminished, and spare my unfilial grandson."

"Oh?"

Xu Fan looked at Zhou Dasheng's melancholic expression, narrowed his eyes, and smiled, "Are you saying that Zhou Zidong's two legs don't need to be broken now?"
