Chapter 449
“Brother . What do we do about Deng Tian?” Huang Chen asked after both Huang Jie and Deng Tian had left . While Huang Jie could not be trusted entirely, they still had to believe parts of it .
Deng Tian and Kuai Ran were friends . On top of that, Kuai Ran wanted to take Deng Tian’s son as a disciple . The two brothers did not anticipate this .
“We cannot kill Deng Tian . ” Huang Kai shook his head . The Huang Family were enemies with the Cai Family and Kuai Family . As the Cai Family were responsible for killing Deng Tian’s family, Deng Tian could be used to oppose the Cai Family . On top of that, Deng Tian was also capable .
“But!” Huang Chen wanted to bring up the fact that Deng Tian allowed Kuai Ran to leave .
“There is no but about this . Deng Tian would not betray us!” Huang Kai replied . Deng Tian definitely understood matters between the Kuai Family and the Cai Family . Would Kuai Ran really offend the Cai Family for Deng Tian?
“That being said, we must take precautions . ” Huang Kai added with a frown . As the Kuai Family was also enemies with the Huang Family and Deng Tian was Kuai Ran’s old friend, they needed to take precautions .
“What should we do?”
“Since Kuai Ran wants to accept Deng Tian’s son as a disciple, we should take in Deng Tian’s son first!” Huang Kai suggested .
“Brother! Are you saying that we should accept Deng Fan as a disciple?” Huang Chen asked . He had seen the boy before .
“Of course not! He is just a servant . How could we take his son in?” Huang Kai shook his head . Deng Tian was a talented and capable person but to Huang Kai, the man was still just his servant . He would not go to the extent of taking in his servant’s son as a disciple . As the son of the Huang Family, he would only take other noble children as disciples, especially if it is his first disciple . That was the only way he could show his face . On top of that, the noble child must be able to bring him benefits . On the other hand, Deng Fan was the son of a servant . In other words, Deng Fan himself was just a servant .
“What does brother mean?”
“Why does Deng Tian’s son need to study? He can just learn a skill to support our Huang Family!”
“Learn a skill?” Huang Chen stared at his brother blankly . He never expected his brother to say this . Only the common people would learn specific skills for their livelihood . To the common people, that is a good thing . However, to the others, learning such things meant that they are a lowly group . For example, a smith could make weapons but at the end of the day, they would remain a smith . They would have no opportunity to be in the government . On top of that, with their current system, their future descendants would all be smiths .
“I remember that there is a gardener at the backyard . Have him take in Deng Fan . Taking care of the flowers is one way he can help his father and our Huang Family!”
“I understand brother . I will go and arrange things tomorrow!” Huang Chen nodded and then asked . “Brother . Do we need to send Huang Jie to the torture chamber?” Huang Jie had committed a grave offense by selling their provisions .
“No need! Just take his money!”
“Won’t Huang Jie hold a grudge?” Huang Chen asked . After all, Huang Kai had already taken all of Huang Jie’s properties . It would be bad if Huang Jie one day decides to betray them .
“Of course he would feel very hateful . ”
“Then we should send him to the torture chamber!” Huang Chen still wanted to torture Huang Jie to death after obtaining the man’s wealth . Normally, even Huang Jie’s family would not be spared for this offense . Also, the dead can’t hold grudges .

“Sigh . This is not the battlefield . There is no need to kill everyone . Besides that, Huang Jie would not be hateful to us so there is no need to get rid of him!” Huang Kai admonished his brother . If Huang Jie were to hold a grudge against anyone, it would be against Deng Tian as it was Deng Tian that reported Huang Jie’s wrongdoing . On the other hand, Huang Jie may even feel grateful to the Huang brothers for giving him a chance to keep living .
Huang Kai wanted to make use of Deng Tian but also wanted to take precautions . Huang Jie is one of those precautions .
“Brother . Are we going to forget about Kuai Ran for doing all these to us?”
“Of course not! We will definitely humiliate Kuai Ran for this!” Huang Kai said sinisterly . He had almost lost his position and get thrown into prison . How could he let this go unanswered?

After Deng Tian had left Liu Mang and the others, they continued their way to Kuai Liang’s residence . None of them knew that they had accidentally saved Huang Kai by hiding the barbarian princess .
“Brother Wang . My uncle’s residence is in front!” Kuai Ran said to Liu Mang .
“How much further do we need to go?” Liu Mang complained, his butt feeling sore . It was not that Liu Mang was trying to be unreasonable . The road there was really just that bad . Unlike the inner parts of the city where the roads were made out of limestone, the roads at the outer parts of the city were full of potholes . The entire area were like slum housings . Fortunately, there were no beggars and the buildings were still good enough for those staying there .
“What kind of disagreement did your father and you uncle have?” Liu Mang commented while shaking his head . The difference between the two places really could not be compared .
Fortunately, Liu Mang soon reached the place . Kuai Liang’s residence was like a mansion especially when compared to the other homes nearby . That being said, the ‘mansion’ looked miserably when compared to the buildings in the inner city .
Kuai Ran sent someone to announce their arrival once they were all in front of the Kuai Liang’s residence .
Unfortunately, the person came back with bad news . “Young Master Kuai Ran . The Master had already gone to sleep and is not meeting anyone anymore . Is Young Master Kuai staying overnight or going back?”
