Cheng Jin stepped out of the room and bumped into Hu Zi. He was about to question Hu Zi about ordering his subordinates under his name when Hu Zi laughed and called out, "Young Master is back! Did you see Madam? How is she? I've found the big house you asked for!"

Cheng Jin exclaimed happily, "Found it? So fast?" Hu Zi replied, "Yes, about ten miles west of the mountain, there's a family named Lian. They have five or six people living in a house about the same size as Zhao Kunhua's. Lately, they've become impoverished, barely able to support their only old servant. So they want to sell their ancestral home and buy a smaller house in the city. They can use the remaining money to start a small business."

Cheng Jin said, "That sounds good. But what was the background of this Lian family? Why are they so poor now? I don't want to cause any trouble by living in their house!" Hu Zi laughed, "I've inquired about it. Lian's great-grandfather was a..." It is not clear why the famous man became famous. I only know that the Mongols valued him very much. At that time, the Lian family in Suzhou was considered a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River. After the Mongol Tatars were driven out of the Central Plains by Emperor Taizu, their family fortunes naturally declined.

Cheng Jin smiled and said: "So each generation is worse than the last, and now we are so poor that we have to sell our ancestral property?" Huzi said: "Exactly." Cheng Jin said: "It has been more than thirty years since Emperor Taizu founded the country. These decades have not been easy for their family, haha!" Very good, I bought it. How much money does the guy named Lian want?

Huzi said: "Only two hundred taels." Cheng Jin smiled and said, "If it were really as big as Lao Zhao's family, two hundred taels would be too cheap." People named Lian are really poor! Okay, you and I will go look at the house tomorrow. "When he thought that this big house would be his happy home in the future, Cheng Jin couldn't help yearning for it. He even forgot what he wanted to ask Hu Zi just now.

In excitement, Cheng Jin thought about telling his sister and aunt the good news quickly, leaving Hu Zi behind, and went straight to his sister's room. Just then, Cheng Jin ran into the person delivering dinner at the door. He glanced at the dishes, frowned, and said, "You're still eating this kind of stuff? Go and get a good meal, I want some too." He told the person delivering the dinner to go to the kitchen to prepare some extra food and drinks, and then pushed open the door to his room.

Cheng Jin walked into the room with a smile. Yang Xiangling, Yan'er, and Aqi were sitting and chatting, dressed smartly. Cheng Jin laughed, "What are you talking about? I have good news. I've found a house and I'll buy it tomorrow. You'll have a new house to live in soon!"

Yan'er smiled slightly and said, "Really?" Cheng Jin laughed, "Yes? You'll be able to leave here soon. Aren't you happy?"

Yan'er hummed in agreement. Yang Xiangling said, "Xiao Jin, we just discussed this. What do you think of this matter?" Cheng Jin asked, "What is it?"

Yang Xiangling said, "Xiao Jin, you've endured humiliation and hardship, and now you've finally avenged your great enemy and rescued your sister and me. Although you've taken over the Dragon God Gang now, but... but the Dragon God Gang is not a benevolent force. The people here are all... all... none of them are good people..." Thinking that almost everyone here had raped him, he couldn't help but blush slightly.

Cheng Jin said, "I know they're not good people, but am I a good person now? Aunt, what advice do you have?"

Yang Xiangling said, "Your sister, Aqi, and I have thought about it. How about... how about... let's go back to Wuchang... forget about the Dragon God Gang and Phoenix God Gang. Take your mother with you, go back to Wuchang, and we'll start over... Xiao Jin, if you've done anything bad over the years, it was out of necessity. Now you don't have to be at the mercy of others, do you still want to continue being a bad person?"

Cheng Jin hesitated and remained silent. Yang Xiangling continued, "Leave the Dragon God Gang and return to being a young master of the Murong family. The Murong family has always been chivalrous..." "First of all, as long as you stop raping and plundering and properly restore Chunhua Sect, no one in the martial arts world will remember your past. They will only remember the tale of Young Hero Murong cleverly killing his enemy and rescuing his family. Don't you think so?" Cheng Jin recalled his parents' teachings from childhood, and his heart surged with emotion: "Can I...can I really go back to what I was before? Can I still be the chivalrous swordsman I dreamed of as a child, roaming the world with a sword, fighting evil and helping the needy?" But that would mean giving up the vast foundation of the Dragon God Gang and the Zhao family, and being able to dominate a region and command the wind and rain... Thinking of all the things he had painstakingly obtained over the years, how could he bear to part with them?

Seeing his unsettled state, Yang Xiangling continued, "Aqi said she...she only wants to follow a chivalrous man from a reputable family, not a notorious bandit...If you leave the Dragon God Gang, she...she's willing to serve you like a slave for the rest of her life!" Aqi exclaimed, "Mother...I...I...I didn't...I didn't say that..." Yang Xiangling took her hand, squeezed it gently, and whispered, "If he's willing to reform, what's wrong with marrying him?" Aqi blushed, unable to think of anything wrong, and softly murmured an "Mmm."

Cheng Jin's gaze swept over Aqi's body, gazing at her beautiful face and slender figure, and his heart pounded. He reached out and gently touched Aqi's face, softly saying, "Is that so, Cousin Qi?" Aqi blushed at his lustful gaze, and only softly murmured another "Mmm."

Cheng Jin thought, "My cousin Aqi has never been willing to serve me properly... Even if I force her to stay, she always seems unwilling, and in the long run she might just be a troublemaker... If... if I listened to my aunt, then... then... such a beautiful woman would all be mine... Besides... restoring Chunhua Gate and upholding justice, isn't that what I've always dreamed of? That way, I could start over with dignity..." His heart surged, and a surge of heroic spirit rose in his chest.

Seeing him deep in thought, Yang Xiangling exchanged a glance with Yan'er and sat quietly. When Cheng Jin finally settled down and exhaled, Yang Xiangling said, "Is that alright, Xiao Jin?" Cheng Jin replied, "Alright! Very good..."

Yang Xiangling was overjoyed and said, "If you've really decided, I'll go talk to your mother and ask her to agree. If you're going to leave, then we should leave as soon as possible..."

Cheng Jin said, "Auntie, can you persuade my mother...? If that's the case, I'd give up anything, even the Dragon God Gang, even an emperor. Oh... but it's getting late, let's talk about it tomorrow." The thought of leaving soon made him feel a little reluctant. Fortunately, the food and wine arrived at that moment, so Cheng Jin said, "You haven't had a proper meal in a long time, have you? Now eat heartily, and we can talk about other things later!" He sat down casually.

Cheng Jin picked up the wine bottle and poured a cup for everyone, saying, "No matter what, we've gotten rid of that old scoundrel Zhao, let's all have a drink to celebrate..." They

finished their meal in high spirits, and it was already past midnight. Cheng Jin didn't mention returning to Wuchang, but instead embraced his sister and tried to be intimate. Yan'er hesitated, pushing him away a few times, but ultimately he succeeded. Yang Xiangling and her daughter were also itching with desire, their faces flushed, unsure whether to sit or lie down. Since Cheng Jin hadn't provoked them, they wouldn't offer themselves up. Finally, after Cheng Jin finished his debauchery and fell fast asleep, the mother and daughter carefully lay down on their sides in bed.

The next morning, Cheng Jin called Hu Zi to go see the new house. As they walked and chatted, Cheng Jin told Hu Zi about his aunt's suggestion from the previous night, saying, "I want to go back to Wuchang and become Young Master Murong of my Chunhua Sect again. What do you think?"

Hu Zi was taken aback and asked, "What about the gang?" Cheng Jin smiled bitterly and said, "How can I go back to Wuchang with such a burden? Of course, I'll leave it alone. You come back with me, and I'll find you a good wife there. We can all be decent people..." Thinking about it, he felt it was quite absurd that the leader of the Dragon God Gang needed to reform and start anew.

Tiger paused, pondered for a moment, and said, "Young Master, do you really think we can live upright lives?" Cheng Jin glared and said, "Why not?" Tiger said, "Hehe! Young Master, when you see a beautiful woman now, what's your first thought? Isn't it to take her down, regardless of whether she wants to or not, and just take her down?" Cheng Jin was taken aback, his face flushed, and he said, "Well... not necessarily..." Tiger laughed, "Young Master, you don't need to lie to yourself. You've even slept with the Madam and the Miss. Even if you were to return to your role as the Murong Young Hero, who in the martial world would respect you?" Cheng Jin forced a smile and said, "Who in the martial world would know? Anyone who dares to talk nonsense, I'll cut off their head with one stroke..." Tiger laughed, "Cut off their head with one stroke? Is that how the Murong family of Chunhua Sect does things?" Cheng Jin's face flushed again, and he remained silent.

Tiger said seriously, "From now on, when you see a beautiful woman, you'll definitely feel itchy inside. But back then, you'll be Young Hero Murong, not Chief Cheng, so you'll have to put on the act of a virtuous gentleman. Think about how hard that is, being restricted in everything you do... And people will inevitably know your background, so they'll naturally be wary of you. Do you really think being Young Hero Murong is so easy?" Cheng Jin said sadly, "Alas! It's hard to wash dirty feet clean, but I can only try to clean them slowly."

Tiger said, "Young Master, you've worked so hard for so many years, finally acquiring so much of Old Zhao's property. Are you really willing to give it all up? To abandon the days of being a powerful figure here, to go back to Wuchang for that empty title? Here we..." "Do whatever you want, play with whichever woman you want, isn't that wonderful? Back in Wuchang, tell me, who will listen to you? Who will respect you there? Besides, Chunhua Sect is gone, how easy is it to restore it! There's a lot of suffering waiting for you, how can it compare to the pleasures you have here?" Cheng Jin felt annoyed and said, "That's true."

Hu Zi said, "Young Master, you really need to think this through. Is it more enjoyable to be the leader of the Dragon God Gang, or to go back to being the laughingstock of Young Master Murong?" Cheng Jin sighed and said, "Let's talk about this later." He felt that returning to Wuchang was the right path, but as Hu Zi said, he was truly unwilling to give up everything here. He was extremely satisfied with being the leader of the Dragon God Gang, and he had no idea whether he could truly handle the constrained life after returning to the righteous path.

Feeling depressed, he walked slowly to the door of the large house that Hu Zi had contacted.

Upon seeing the buyer, the homeowner warmly welcomed him. Cheng Jin observed that the house, with its many buildings, certainly possessed the grandeur of a wealthy household, though it had fallen into disrepair over the years, with many parts in a dilapidated state. However, two hundred taels of silver was indeed a good deal, so he finalized the transaction and agreed to hand over the house the next day. The homeowner, overjoyed with the silver, had already packed his valuables and was ready to depart at any moment. He invited Cheng Jin and Hu Zi to stay for lunch, but Cheng Jin, preoccupied with important matters and not wanting to return to the Dragon God Gang too soon, did not refuse. He then instructed Hu Zi to quickly find some craftsmen to renovate the entire house.

After lunch, Hu Zi went into town to find craftsmen and purchase furniture, while Cheng Jin rested in the side room. The house was so large that it could probably accommodate dozens of wives and concubines. Cheng Jin pondered where his mother and aunts would live, how many maids he would need, and so on. However, he seemed to not need such a large space, and it would be inconvenient to have his mother and aunts living too far apart. Ideally, they should live in the same courtyard. It would be convenient for them to see each other, and it would be easy for me to visit them later, hehe! Should they live in the innermost courtyard, or the outer one? The east courtyard is quite spacious, but the fragrance of orchids outside the west courtyard seems quite pleasant...

I thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution, and I couldn't sleep at all. I sat up, thinking, "Thinking about it is useless. I can decide after the house is beautifully decorated. It's my mother who's a real problem. How can I get her permission?" Thinking of this, I couldn't sit still any longer and hurriedly went out the door, heading straight for the Zhao residence.

Before I even got close to the Zhao residence, I saw a fast horse galloping towards me on the official road. The person on horseback, upon seeing Cheng Jin, froze for a moment, reined in his horse, and dismounted.
