To him, these things represented nothing but trouble, whether it was a whole box of gold or a few heads.

It's best to stay away from it and not get involved.

"You don't know, this batch of gold was the military pay that was stolen from the imperial court some time ago. To capture this batch of gold, the imperial court dispatched a large number of experts, but they still haven't found any clues."

"I didn't expect you and I would actually run into this. If I'm not mistaken, these barbarians are the ones who stole the gold. You can just hand it over to the court in exchange for an official position."

Honglian knew everything about this matter, after all, it was she who arranged this batch of gold.

There is no use for these things in her hands. The best way to exchange them for official positions is to use them. The gold cannot be spent unless it is melted again.

We can't just hand over the bandits in the village to the government. Xu Feng himself is a juren, and with such contributions, the government will definitely give him an official position directly.

"If we get involved with the barbarians, it might not be a good idea if we get targeted."

Xu Feng was a little hesitant, but it wasn't because he was indecisive.

The main problem is that the origin of this batch of gold and heads is unknown. Who knows who put them here? If the real owner comes looking for us, we won’t be able to get rid of them.

He just wanted to stay home peacefully and improve his strength in order to protect himself.

I will never interfere in other matters unless it is a critical moment.

"Why are you, a grown man, so fussy? Are you afraid of a bunch of bandits? Listen to me, take these things back and don't let outsiders get them."

"These gold and heads can only be used to their full potential if they remain in your hands. If you feel bad about this, why not just do more good deeds every day?"

Seeing that Xu Feng was not interested in the gold, Honglian couldn't help but look up to him. If it were anyone else, they would have been eager to take the gold home immediately.

What's worse, they might even have evil intentions towards her.

Now at least he can prove that he was not wrong about Xu Feng. He is not a villain like Zuo Jincheng.

He is truly a gentleman whom you can entrust your life to.

"What you said does make sense. I really don't need to be afraid of a group of bandits."

Xu Feng remembered the obsession of his original body. After he traveled through time, he received all the memories of his original body. The original body was a juren, and his biggest wish was to restore his family business and serve as an official in the court.

Unfortunately, there has never been any opportunity.

The Feng family only gave the original body a way out of gratitude for the kindness of their ancestors, and did not provide any other support.

It is very difficult to become an official without any background these days. Now there is an excellent opportunity in front of Xu Feng.

As long as he agrees to take the gold back, the reward from the court will arrive soon.

"Master Xu, do you have any further concerns? If there is anything that is inconvenient for you to do, I can do it for you."

Honglian was determined to put the credit on Xu Feng's hands and would help solve any doubts Xu Feng had.

"Let me think about it for a moment."

Xu Feng must make a decision whether doing so is in his own interest.

Once he chooses to be an official, he will definitely not be able to keep a low profile. The identity of the ghost-faced man cannot appear in public. Should he reveal that he has cultivation skills?

Of course, there are benefits. Even though the court is now incompetent, it still has great prospects. In addition, it can also make your mind clear, and any breakthroughs in the future will be smoother.

In the long run, it is better to choose to be an official. After all, he can't hide in the Feng family forever.

"Then I won't be polite."

After some thought, Xu Feng finally made his choice.

He is not an indecisive person, he is just weighing the pros and cons.

"I knew that Master Xu was a hidden dragon, and he would never be willing to be lonely. What future can you have staying in the Feng family? You should go out and see more. With your ability, you will definitely shine."

"I owe Miss Honglian a favor for your kind words."

The two did not stay in the center of the lake any longer. These things had to be sent back home as soon as possible, otherwise it would cause them trouble if they were discovered by outsiders.

On the shore, the two separated and agreed to meet again later. Honglian watched Xu Feng leave.

"Sister Honglian, why should we let this pretty boy get all the gold we worked so hard to get?"

The bandits lurking on the shore did not jump out until Xu Feng's figure disappeared.

"What do you brainless guys know? Leaving these things in our hands would be a problem. Giving them to him will at least make him owe us a favor, and it will be convenient to ask him for help in the future."

Seeing Honglian's determined look, his subordinates opened their mouths but ultimately said nothing.

They felt that it was not that simple. Maybe their boss had taken a fancy to her, otherwise why would he be so attentive to her?

……

Xu Feng avoided everyone's gaze all the way back to the Feng family.

He originally wanted to bring the things back to his own courtyard quietly, but he never expected to be bumped into by Old Man Feng and Feng Yuzhi as soon as he entered the door.

"What is this? Why does it smell like blood? Don't bring those messy things into the house."

As soon as she got close, Feng Yuzhi covered her nose and said impatiently.

Old Master Feng was knowledgeable and saw a lot. He looked at Xu Feng in surprise. He understood that this was the smell of human blood.

"You won't cause any trouble outside, will you?"

Seeing that there was no way to hide it, Xu Feng could only tell the truth. After knowing that these were the gold lost by the court and the heads of those barbarians, the father and daughter were shocked.

"How did these things end up in your hands?"

"Of course, I happened to run into them in the middle of the lake while I was out, and that's how I killed them and recovered the lost property of the court."

Old Master Feng and Feng Yuzhi looked at each other, neither of them believed what Xu Feng said. In their opinion, Xu Feng was weak and powerless, so how could he kill those big and strong barbarians?

"Dad, it's true that after searching high and low for something, I finally found it without any effort."

"Zuo Lang has been looking for a job in the imperial court recently because our loss of grain and fodder has displeased the governor. If we can pass on this achievement, wouldn't it be possible to reconnect with him?"

The father and daughter completely ignored Xu Feng and regarded the gold as their own, without considering Xu Feng's thoughts at all.

"That makes sense. These golds can only be used to their greatest effect on my nephew Zuo Xian. God is truly helping me."

Seeing that the two were getting more and more excited, Xu Feng couldn't help but interrupt their conversation.

"Old man, I found these things. Why should they be made white so that outsiders can get them?"

Without waiting for the old man to speak, Feng Yuzhi turned around and glared at him.

"Shut up right there! Don't ruin the Feng family's plans. Don't go out during this time, and don't embarrass yourself with these things."

"If you found it, you found it. You even said you killed someone. Your hands are shaking even when you kill a chicken. Do you really think others don't know your background?"

Xu Feng's pupils shrank. He still underestimated Feng Yuzhi's shamelessness.
