Chapter 472: Guest

Before Ai Hui could finish his sword tower, an emissary from the Gong Residence appeared at Lemon Camping Ground .
He was about fifty years old and had kind brows . He was always smiling and his skin was well maintained . It was obvious that he had been living like a prince for a long time as there was a natural air of nobleness surrounding him .
The housekeeper, Mister Wang, spoke very slowly and in a harmonious tone . It was pleasant listening to him .
"… My master heard about this and the family was rejoicing over it . Old Madam cried a lot too and was traumatized by it . She said that luckily Master Ai was around, or else it would have been too late to regret if a serious mistake was made . Master Ai’s kindness will not be forgotten . Master Ai’s chosen his path and my residence is too late in congratulating him . It’s a great disrespect, but things had been delayed over that side . Master and Madam are still brooding over the incident and unable to justify it . Now the things with that side have been settled, Master Ai can get an explanation and the residence will be able to return his kindness…"
A whole load team of gifts followed . There were many of them and they weighed a lot . Those present were left speechless .
Just the list alone was a long scroll .
Ai Hui glanced over the list and was flabbergasted . The majority of the items on that list were resources related to battling or materials that could be used in the workshop . It seemed that the Gong Residence had been watching them and knew what resources they needed .
He kept the gift list, a smile appearing on his face . "How kind of your residence! Please send my greetings to Master and Madam Gong!"
Housekeeper Wang sighed a breath of relief upon seeing Ai Hui’s straightforward acceptance of the gifts, his smile widening . "Do not worry about the Assembly of Patriarchs . Everything has been taken care of cleanly . "
Ai Hui then realized that "that side" referred to the Assembly of Patriarchs . He asked out of curiosity, "Oh, how did you guys do it?"
Housekeeper Wang replied smilingly, "The Assembly of Patriarchs lost two Patriarchs and one is heavily injured . Five divisions were torn down so they had to get someone to relay a message and mediate . "
Ai Hui shivered inwardly . The Gong Residence was really powerful . He asked, "But what about the two Patriarchs from before?"
Housekeeper Wang shook his head . "No, I heard that the two of them had been severely injured by you . The mayor wanted the other party to hand them over, but the Assembly of Patriarchs hoped to use other means to compensate . Sensing their sincerity the mayor agreed, albeit reluctantly . "
Ai Hui felt an indescribable sense of relief knowing that they weren’t the two Patriarchs from before . Although he’d only interacted with Jiu Gui once, he truly did not wish to hear news of his death .
Seeing Jiu Gui reminded him of the deceased Hua Kui .
Ai Hui did not ask what the Assembly of Patriarchs’s sincerity meant, but he figured they must have offered a sufficient price, or the Gong Residence would never agree to a settlement .
This was also Ai Hui’s first time experiencing what the deep foundation of an aristocratic family signified .
Having been inside, Ai Hui knew how influential the Assembly of Patriarchs was . It was a power not to be trifled with currently . If not for the fact that the Assembly of Patriarchs was after his snow lava, Ai Hui would not provoke them . But for the Assembly of Patriarchs to be tamed by the Gong Residence, the latter must be even more imposing .
Ai Hui was beyond glad that there were no conflicting interests between the Gong Residence and himself .
The Gong Residence probably thought the same, hence the generous gifts .
Housekeeper Wang’s attitude validated his guess . Especially upon hearing that Shi Xueman was going to establish her own combat division, he offered a batch of additional resources on the spot . From this, it could be inferred that Housekeeper Wang had significant power of speech back in the residence, since he was able to make decisions on his own .
Ai Hui asked casually, "How’s the situation in the Shi family? It’s been a long time since Xueman went back . "
He felt it slightly strange that the Gong Residence sent supplies immediately upon hearing that Shi Xueman was going to start a combat division, when Iron Lady’s own family, also an influential family, appeared unconcerned about her ever since she’d joined Central Pine Faction .
Housekeeper Wang stopped himself before any word escaped his lips .
Ai Hui sensed the change in his expression and pressed, "What’s the problem?"
Housekeeper Wang looked to the sides before saying in a lowered voice, "Please tell Miss Xueman not to go home, no matter what, for the time being . "
Ai Hui was jolted . It seemed that something bad really happened to Iron Lady’s family . He asked softly, "What’s the matter?"
Housekeeper Wang only shook his head .
Seeing that, Ai Hui did not press him for an answer but kept that in mind . He would get someone to investigate as soon as possible . Ai Hui wasn’t too worried, since Iron Lady was now a Master who had power of speech no matter where she went . Not many could force her into doing things against her will .
Plus, the gang had her back .
Housekeeper Wang was very knowledgeable and tactful . Money and power helped in any occupation . He spoke wittily, making people feel refreshed and not the least bit tired . More importantly, he was very generous and said the line many a times, "Oh, my residence has a solution . We’ll send it over in a few days’ time . "
Might cannot be bent . Riches and honor must be feared .
Ai Hui loved chatting with these rich people . Time is precious? Not at all! No time? Time was like water in a sponge, definitely there when squeezed!
Come, come . Come chat with me . Hit me with your money!
Both host and guest were joyful and started calling each other brother in the blink of an eye .
Ai Hui had wanted to gain more tangible benefits from Housekeeper Wang, but soon realized that he had fast and abundant channels for obtaining news . No matter what he said, Housekeeper Wang could provide insights he wasn’t already aware of .
