Line one's pockets

shining pavilion.

Seeing that Jian Feng was not taking the bate, Jia long could only ask him directly. He spoke in solemn tone "Actually, there is way... "

Jian Feng knew the time had come, Jian Feng acted like he was blind man seeing light for the first time,like he had finally found some hope

"Brother please enlighten me"

Seeing Jian Feng like that he felt glad, he continued to speak in serious yet dought full manner "I don't know if brother will agree"

"Just say it brother, as long as their is way out I will certainly try my best" Jian Feng replied immediately with determined look on his face.

Jia long laughed coldly in his heart, As he spoke solemnly "Brother it is actually pretty simple,you just have become my bodyguard."

He saw that Jian Feng's face had turned unsightly, He immediately continued to speak in a enticing way "Brother please don't misunderstand,There are many benefits in it for you,Brother as long as you are willing to become one of my bodyguards, I will not only be able to shield you from Jia Shen, I will also be able too provide you with all sorts of precious pills, treasure, spirit coins and in the future if I become family head, your status will definitely rise "

He secretly gestured his followers to entice Jian Feng, They did has he wanted,continuing to

' advice ' him.

Jian Feng who initially had an unsightly expression

was now looking much better, he showed a look of deep contemplation before it was replaced with resolution. He sighed before he spoke "It looks like I have no other options.Brother Jia , no, young master this subordinate pays his respect"

Jia long heard this and laughed heartily, after some time,he looked at Jian Feng and said in a kind tone as he patted Jian Feng's shoulder "Jian Feng don't worry I won't treat you badly, just ask your partners"

"No need, I have faith in young master"Jian Feng replied immediately.

" Good, now that you are willing, how about we set the rules and form a binding contract"

"Okay, but i have a request" Jian Feng spoke calmly.

"just say it" Jia long also replied in a calm manner.

"I want us to set the rules of the agreement privately, that's all" hearing this Jia long thought for a moment before nodding he then instructed his bodyguards to leave the room, they did as he wanted.

In the luxurious room only Jia long and Jian Feng were remaining, sitting facing each other. They began a battle of words, After almost 15 minutes had gone by, their verbal battle had ended , they both had a satisfied look on their faces.

They began the binding ritual,This was basically a vow.whoever breaks it will be punished by getting their soul destroyed,Once the soul is dead the body will only be a empty shell.

The binding method they used was the most commonly used and also most reliable one in the Azure star kingdom.

After finishing the binding ritual,Jian Feng bid his farewell as he left to return to his room. Jia long didn't stop him,He said that Jian Feng should train hard for the annual talent recruitment competition, And get a high position in it as it would be good place to show case his talents to the clans higher ups .

The competition still had about one and half months time left to begin.

Jian Feng had returned to his room,The lamps were not lit, The rays of moonlight we're the only source of light in this dark room,he got on his bed and sat on the bed while leaning his back against the wall,The moonlight shone on his expressionless face. Jian Feng quietly gazed outside the window looking far away.His eyes seeming to pierce the heavens.

Jian Feng shifted his gaze from the sky before placing it on his sword, under the moonlight the sword shone with a cold glint.

Jian Feng began analysing his gains, His gains were not small.Now it all depends on Jia Long's performance.

Jian Feng sat cross legged and started his cultivation.His strength growing steadily.

2 days passed just like that.

Jian Feng was either cultivating or developing his mystic arts. His Mystic arts development was going smoothly, he had feeling that it was going to be completed quickly.

Jian Feng got up and went out to meet Jia long as promised. Jian Feng was covered in a black aura as he moved in darkness of night, before arriving at one of Jia Long's secret chambers.He stopped using his spirit ability. He patiently waited for Jia Long's arrival. 5 minutes passed by as Jia Long finally arrived, following him were none other than those two martial artists from last time, they each carried box, it was a size of 10 inches wide and 30 inches thick.

Jian Feng greeted Jia long,and received this items before thanking him in a sincere manner,and spouting utter nonsense, such has he would never forget his kindness and whatnot. Even though Jia long was unable to get everything on the list,most of them where arranged by him.He had spent quite a hefty sum.This was one of the rules set,he had to try his best to arrange the things in the list and give it to Jian Feng.

Jian Feng knew his limits, he knew when to step forward and when to step back.The things that Jia long was unable to get were also purposely put on the list.He knew that with Jia Long's ability this was already his best.
