"It was Young Master Su who saved me just now. I, Jiang, have nothing left. Consider this wealth from the Jiang family, which has lasted for a hundred years, as a token of my gratitude."
To him, the bag contained not gold bars, not wealth...
Rather, it is the source of a series of disasters and the root of evil.

Chapter 147 A Terrifying Omen: Annie, the Cultured Zhu Dachang?
Su Feng eventually accepted the gold bars and put them all into his Qiankun bag.
After Master Jiang set fire to the Jiang residence, Su Feng bid farewell to Master Jiang amidst the flames and they went their separate ways.
Watching Master Jiang's figure gradually disappear into the distance on the mountain path, Su Feng finally felt relieved and turned to leave.
"Master..."
Chenxing, who was following behind, suddenly asked curiously, "How much is the gold in that bag actually worth?"
For a young girl like her, all she knew was that gold was expensive, looked beautiful, and was very valuable, but she had no idea how much it was actually worth.
Su Feng shrugged and casually stated a number.
Chen Xing was so shocked that he jumped two meters high on the spot. "Wow! It's worth that much!"
"Alright, little sister, stop fooling around." Chen Yue gently flicked Chen Xing's forehead, finally calming the noisy girl down. "Let's save our energy. We don't know how far we have to go before we leave this mountain."
After today's fierce battle, the two sisters have exhausted a lot of their physical strength and spiritual energy.
Although we can absorb spirit stones, now is not the time for cultivation and meditation. We must leave this mountain before nightfall.
Su Feng wasn't worried. He could simply take out the mechanical paper crane, which would be enough for the three of them to fly together.
They hadn't gone far when they heard the sound of wheels rolling in the distance.
"Young Master Su! So you were here!!"
The driver was hired by Su Feng for his trip to Jiuquan Town...
The unlucky middle-aged man woke up last night to find his employer had disappeared, and was so frightened that he drove all over the mountains to search for him.
Finally, the target was found in this area.
"Hahaha—" Su Feng couldn't help but laugh out loud, turning around to pat Chen Yue and Chen Xing on the head, "It seems you can rest well in the carriage now."
……
It will take quite a while to get to Jiuquan Town, but it's much easier than walking.
Along the way, one can take in the surrounding scenery, which makes Su Feng feel refreshed and indescribably happy.
Chen Yue and Chen Xing sat on one side, leaning against each other, and fell asleep. Su Feng even asked the driver to slow down so that a bump would wake them up.
"You two have worked so hard today." Su Feng looked at the two sisters' sweet faces as they slept soundly, smiled gently, took out a blanket from his Qiankun bag, and gently covered them with it.
And so, accompanied by a gentle breeze, the carriage continued its journey toward Jiuquan Town.
After a long night, we finally arrived at our destination the next morning.
Even outside this bustling town, one can already sense the vibrant atmosphere within the city walls, with shouts and calls of vendors waving from afar.
Su Feng paid the driver extra for the journey and asked him to find a place in the city to wait for his itinerary.
After getting off the carriage, Chen Yue and Chen Xing couldn't wait to enter this bustling area.
Su Feng followed behind, walking slowly and leisurely, breathing in the fresh air and enjoying the tranquility and beauty of the moment.
There are no worries, and nothing to fret about.
This kind of carefree, hermit-like life is what he truly yearns for.
Jiuquan Town can be described as a trading center; almost anything that cannot be bought elsewhere can be found here.
All sorts of imported goods filled the streets and alleys, creating a lively atmosphere.
The crowd was dense, and Chen Yue and Chen Xing were worried that they would get lost from Su Feng, so they stayed close to him on either side.
"Are you hungry?"
Su Feng remembered that the two sisters hadn't eaten much in the past two days, and said with a smile, "There's a Hunan restaurant up ahead, let's go and try it."
"Hunan cuisine?"
What is Hunan cuisine?
The two sisters asked curiously.
Su Feng couldn't answer either, "Anyway, you'll know once you try it."
When you arrive in a new place, you should naturally experience and appreciate the local customs and culture.
The first step is to find a decent restaurant, have a good meal, and then consider what to do next.
Anyway, it's still early, so we can "visit" the jewelry store later and secretly observe whether Zhu Dachang is slacking off.
Entering the Hunan restaurant, I was surprised to find it packed with people so early in the morning, bustling with activity.
The savory aroma of spice immediately whetted Chen Yue and Chen Xing's appetite, and their stomachs began to rumble.
Su Feng smiled gently and called out to the busy waiter, only to learn that there were no empty seats in the hall and that they could only go upstairs to sit in a private room.
Whether it was luck or not, when they arrived, there was only one private room left.
Su Feng conveniently paid for the private room and followed the waiter upstairs to the second floor.
"Hey buddy, bring me one of everything on this menu," Su Feng said after glancing at the menu.
The waiters were dumbfounded. "Sir, are you kidding me? There are more than a dozen dishes here..."
The implication is: can you finish it all?
Su Feng smiled and placed ten silver dollars on the table. "Just go ahead and go for it."
"Okay, okay!" The waiter's expression changed instantly. He took the money, bowed several times, and left the private room.
"Young Master, is it really okay to order so much?" Chen Yue was a little embarrassed; she didn't want Su Feng to spend so much money.
Su Feng smiled nonchalantly, "You're all growing right now, so it's always good to eat more."
Moreover, replenishing one's spiritual energy through food is another way to do so when it is being depleted in large quantities.
Having witnessed Chenxing's appetite before, Su Feng was confident that the two sisters could handle it this time.
"Hehe, then I won't be polite! Thank you, young master!" Chen Xing was already impatient, licking his lips as he waited.
But after a long time, no waiter brought up the dishes, which made Chenxing a little anxious.
"Young Master, why are they taking so long to serve the food? Are they going to take the money and then ignore the customers?" Chen Xing complained, pouting.
Chen Yue patiently shook her head. "It's probably because there are a lot of customers today, and the kitchen is busy."
Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door, and a middle-aged man with a large belly and smart clothes walked in.
Su Feng had just seen this person downstairs; he seemed to be the store manager.
"Hehehe—" The manager wiped the sweat from his face and smiled somewhat awkwardly, "I'm really sorry, esteemed guests, but due to some reasons, this private room is not open to the public, so..."
"What do you mean by this? We paid for it!" Chen Xing immediately became unhappy upon hearing this and shouted.
The shop manager quickly took out the silver dollars he had just received from his pocket and put them back on the table untouched. "I'm so sorry, this time our shop failed to provide adequate service. We will definitely make it up to you next time you come!"
The reason given for turning away the guest made Chen Xing so angry that she stomped her feet and almost got up to argue loudly. Fortunately, Chen Yue was quick-witted and pressed her down.
"Why didn't you tell us from the beginning, and only now are you informing us? Do you know how much time you've wasted?"
Su Feng sat with his arms crossed and said coldly.
Money is a small matter, but he dislikes this way of treating guests the most.
They were clearly being treated like fools. They came full of joy, only to leave disappointed? He wouldn't accept such a flimsy excuse.
"Why isn't it ready yet?"
Just as the atmosphere reached a stalemate, a voice came from outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, a man in a suit and tie with slicked-back hair walked in and said, "Your work efficiency is too slow."
The man grumbled incessantly, his tone full of disdain. His dark eyes swept over Su Feng and the others in the private room before settling on the manager. "Aren't you going to hurry up?"
"Oh dear, it'll be ready soon, almost there!" The store manager was caught in the middle, caught between two sides, his face turning ashen.
But standing in front of him was David, the mayor's son. How could a small shop dare to offend such a powerful figure? So he could only turn around and fawn over Su Feng with a smile.
"Sir, I'm so sorry..."
"No need to say anything more." Su Feng raised his hand to interrupt the store manager, speaking indifferently, "So it's because someone wanted to cut in line? I don't accept that reason. There should be a first-come, first-served principle in everything, right?"
David's expression changed instantly upon hearing this. "Do you know who I am? Why are you making such a fuss here? Don't go looking for trouble."
Faced with this provocation, Su Feng remained calm, "So what?"
"You!" David stepped forward angrily, but Chen Yue and Chen Xing quickly stood up and blocked his tall figure.
The situation could very well escalate into a violent conflict, and the store manager was so frightened that he quickly retreated, not daring to get involved any further.
"David, forget it."
Just then, a woman walked in and stopped David's charge.
“Annie, this won’t do! I promised to treat you to dinner this time you came back from overseas. How can we let these strangers spoil the fun?” David complained.
The woman called Anne ignored David's complaints, stepped forward, and nodded slightly to Su Feng.
"I'm so sorry, we didn't know this private room was already occupied. We apologize for the unpleasantness."
Anne...
Why does this name sound so familiar?
Su Feng raised an eyebrow and carefully examined the woman in front of him.
She was extremely beautiful, with a small face and delicate features. She wore a red and purple dress that revealed her impressive bust, and had long, carefully styled curly hair.
