This was Definitely a Loss

As one of the middle tier clan, many commoners would like to give their services to the Feng Clan. This includes servants, guards, and maids that totalled more than 300.

To be able to hire this many people, the Feng Clan's money naturally was not small. They were able to provide housing for their workers to live in.

One of those buildings was the Guard Barrack, there were several of them spread across the Feng Clan's area. The furthest one from the main area was the barrack where Qian Hui and Qian Lu usually lived in.

Now that they were assigned as Feng Ao Xiu's personal bodyguards, they need to pack their things, leave this barrack immediately and move to the one that was close to the Clan Lord's residence.

Because this place was too far, Qian Qian took some time to arrive. It was in the middle of the night, they rummage through the wardrobe and tables to get their clothes and stuff.

"Aaahhh... Why did I have to go through this? It's already 4 hours past my curfew. I'm so tired... Can't we do this tomorrow?"

Qin Lu complained loudly while searching for his clothes. For someone lazy like Qian Hui and Qian Lu, who rarely stay up late at night, this situation was not comfortable at all.

Initially, they were planning to blackmail the Second Young Master. To get some gold, they decided to stay up all night. Instead, they were caught in a trap and has to be Feng Ao Xiu's bodyguards.

Feng Ao Xiu was not a cultivator, that means they have to do everything for him. They could imagine being ordered to fetch something in high places, or to carry Feng Ao Xiu on their back because Feng Ao Xiu was slow. At least being a normal guard, they only need to sit around, watch for something suspicious.

This was a loss. This was definitely a loss. Not only they could not gain anything, but they also received more burden.

"Shut your mouth! Just be grateful that Clan Lord kept your head intact!"

Qian Hui also shared the same opinion as Qian Lu. However, he was too frustrated at the current situation and couldn't help but to take out his anger by scolding his little brother.

"Wha... How dare you talk to me like that! The blackmailing plan was your idea in the first place. Take responsibility for this and apologize to me!"

"F*ck you! You're the one who answered to that trash's question. And you're the one who followed him vigorously!"

Qian Hui was startled and became angrier. Indeed, it was his idea but he did not feel guilty about it. In fact, he thinks that it was a great plan and would go perfectly if Qian Lu did not ruin it.

The bickering and fighting of the two made the guards who were asleep awake.

"Shut up!"

"What time is it!?"

This was a small barrack in the first place, where they crammed ten to fifteen people in a single room. Once one person awake and make noise, the other will naturally follow. Soon, no one in the room was sleeping anymore.

"Qian Qian! What are you two doing!? Can't you see we're all asleep?"

The one who said that was a big burly man, one of the captains of the Feng Clan. Because, both Qian Hui and Qian Lu like to make troubles, they were placed in the same room as the captain.

Both brothers bit their lip. Today was already a bad day. Now, they made the captain angry, it seems like they will receive some punishment.

Qian Hui softly said, "Captain, we're sorry! We didn't mean to wake you up!"

Qian Lu follows, "Yes, yes... We just have to pack our things and leave. Please don't mind us!"

"Sorry isn't going to cut it! You both dare to disturb our sleep. Don't you know that rest is very important to guards like us! Now give me one thousand push up and three thousand... Wait... What did you just say?"

The Guard Captain could not contain his anger wanted to give punishment for these two troublemakers. However, he just heard about something that could change the complexity of the situation.

"Did... Did you just say that you wanted to pack and leave?"

Qian Hui and Qian Lu nodded their heads vigorously. They'll do anything if it means not receiving any punishment.

After the Guard Captain got the confirmation, the previous anger suddenly disappears and turned into a big smile instead.

"Good! Good! Good! No need to mind me, just go do your thing!"

How could the Guard Captain not be happy? If these two leaves, then the guards in his unit will finally be functioning normally. Qian Hui and Qian Lu always make trouble, the Guard Captain could not wait to get rid of them. He didn't even ask where they will go, as long as it's not here, then anywhere would be fine.

"Guys! Qian Qian wants to leave! Help them pack their things!"

"I'll help! I'll help!"

"Let me go get your thing from the other room."

"Qian Hui, please wait! I'm using your underwear, I'll return it to you!"

The people who were dissatisfied with Qian Qian was not the Guard Captain alone. Their teammates and roommates were also happy with these two left. Because every time Qian Qian made trouble, sometimes

it could implicate them as well.

Seeing their situation, Qian Hui and Qian Lu did not know whether to laugh or cry. They were gladful these people want to help, but it was for the wrong reason.

One bored-looking guard asked, "By the way, where is your hometown?"

"Hometown? It's just the next village east from here. But, what's with the sudden question?", asked Qian Hui looking confused.

"You're going back to your hometown right?"

"Why would we go back?"

"Ehhh... You're not fired?"

"Fired!? F*ck! Of course, we are not!"

These people actually assumed that he and his brother were fired. But, the fact that Qian Hui, himself also thought that this was the most possible outcome makes him want to cry.

"Then... where will you two go?"

Qian Lu said indifferently, "We're moving to barrack behind the Clan Lord's Residence."

"What!? To the main barrack!?", the bored-looking guard shouted loudly. Now, he doesn't seem like he was bored anymore.

"The main barrack! Are you sure that's the right place?"

The other couldn't help but inquire. After all the main barrack was full of elite guards, only truly the best guards Feng Clan has to offer were to be placed there. The situation was also better, the room was bigger and every guard at most has to share the room with 2 other teammates. No matter what, they couldn't believe that Qian Qian were transferred there.

Only then that the two of them realized, while they saw it as a demotion. Other people could only perceive it as a promotion. The more they thought about it, the better it becomes.

Qian Hui immediately boasted, "Haa... Haaa... That's right! The Clan Lord saw finally saw our true potential and promoted us!"

Qian Lu also follows, "We are not just promoted to be an ordinary guard! We were promoted to be the Second Young Master's personal bodyguards"

"You gotta be kidding me!"

"What did the Second Young Master see in you two!"

"This must be a dream right!"

To be the Second Young Master's bodyguard was a big matter. While the title may seem low like personal bodyguards, it was a really high rank. Because the master was none other than Feng Ao Xiu. To be the bodyguards of the next Clan Lord, the strongest person in the Feng Clan, naturally they have a saying.

Hearing this, some of them couldn't help but curry favour from the Second Young Master's bodyguards.

"Brother Qian Hui, how about a drink with me before you go?"

"Brother Qian Lu, have some food. I'll get you some more!"

Even the Guard Captain change his attitude.

"Everyone. Please give some space to Qian Hui and Qian Lu. Anyway, before Qian Hui and Qian Lu leave, let's have a little party."

Qian Hui and Qian Lu became the star of the little party. They were no longer called "Qian Qian", and everyone respects them. This was the best day of their life.

While it may seem tiring to be the Feng Ao Xiu's bodyguards, they earned something they never have before. Power.

Having power was too sweet. No one could deny them anymore. Everyone will have to give them some face, and everything will become easier. If they have to name all the advantages, it would take them months.

Time passed fast. The party was over, they have also done to pack their things. It took quite some time to go back to Clan Lord's Residence, but it's all worth it. They couldn't help but grin while imagining to the treatment they get in the main barrack.

Just as they speculated, they were welcomed by the guards in the main barrack that treats them really well. After a bit of conversation, they were guided to their room.

Qian Hui and Qian Lu stepped inside. This will be their new room, their new world. A new journey full of power awaits them.

"Ah... you two have arrived!"

Inside the room, their roommate greeted them. He was a man in his fifty. His face was full of wisdom, and unlimited experience could be seen. Battle scars were scattered all over his body. His fuzzy beard and eyebrow made him scarier than Spirit Beasts.

This man was no other than the highest-ranking guard, Head Guard Cui.

"I don't know what the Second Young Master see in weaklings like you two, but I'll be watching."

However different from the others. Head Guard Cui did not even have a single ounce of respect for Qian Hui and Qian Lu. In fact, he seemed to despise them.

Qian Hui, "..."

Qian Lu, "..."

Qian Hui and Qian Lu stayed silent. How could they end up being roommates with Head Guard Cui. They didn't know what to say.

Head Guard Cui, scolded them both, "Where's your greeting!? You fools really need some lesson. How could you not greet your higher up when you meet them!? As punishment, give me five thousand push up and ten thousand sit up and also..."

Qian Hui, "..."

Qian Lu, "..."

This was a loss. This was definitely a loss.
