Lin Xuan Qi nodded at Huo Fei Li and continued to glance around at the surroundings.
Everything was pristine and ready to be inhabited.
The furniture was sparkling clean and the walls were free from dust.
Liu Shi Shi also felt that it was fine as a lodging in Bian Jing.
Its walls were tall enough and due to the fact that there weren’t too many guards with them, she wouldn’t be able to ensure it was safe if the compound was much larger like the other properties they had viewed earlier.
Yue Xin was happily running about checking every nook and cranny, making sure that there weren’t corners that were missed.
Sister Xue Cong and Yue Jie would be mad at her if she didn’t make sure of it.
"Look, a rocking chair." She pointed to a rocking chair when she saw it and sat on it.
Yue Xin began rocking back and forth on it happily.
When she was satisfied after rocking on it for a while, she sat up and glanced over at Lin Xuan Qi with a nod.
Lin Xuan Qi let her be and he turned to the owner of the place.
The owner, who was an old man, stroked his white beard and said, "If you like it, you can move in right away.
"I wouldn’t be selling this place if not for the need for so cash flow.
"My family had so many mories here for our sumr vacations.
"The battle in the north is draining for businessn like ."
He shook his head and let out a sigh.
Lin Xuan Qi cupped his hands at him and said, "Don’t worry. I will pay in full."
Sima Long quickly chid in and said, "Since brother Xuan Qi is paying in full, why don’t you make it cheaper?"
After Sima Long said so, Huo Fei Li also added, "Yeah, the last house we viewed was much larger than this and not a lot more expensive."
They lifted their chins at Lin Xuan Qi after they did so, gesturing to him that they weren’t so useless young masters.
Lin Xuan Qi couldn’t help it and rolled his eyes at them while he waited for the owner’s reply.
The owner glanced at the garden, reminisced for a bit, before he turned and glanced at Huo Fei Li.
"Fine, I can sell it for ten gold taels less.
"I hope Master Huo Qi Nian can help with the goods that I need to transport back from the north."
He said and Huo Fei Li patted his chest, "Great. I will make sure that my father arranges the ard escorts for you."
Lin Xuan Qi stood by the side and noticed that Huo Qi Nian was a capable man underneath his warm and friendly deanor.
No one would be able to beco the head of their clan or family if they weren’t capable enough.
Huo Qi Nian was not only able to get a list of properties on sale for him in such a short amount of ti.
He was also able to select these properties with the Huo Family having leverage over the owners.
Which was great news for Lin Xuan Qi.
Any amount saved on the cost might co in handy for him.
"It is a deal." Lin Xuan Qi said and he glanced over at Yue Xin, "Get ninety taels of gold for the owner."
Yue Xin quickly got out of the rocking chair and headed for the door.
When she returned with the guards, they were carrying a wooden chest with them.
The guards placed the wooden chest on the ground and opened it.
All the gold ingots inside reflected the afternoon sun and bathed the hall they were in in a golden hue.
The owner went over to the wooden chest and counted it.
When he was satisfied with the amount, the owner took out so docunts and said, "Here is the title deed for the place, I’ll handle the rest of the process with the magistrate."
Lin Xuan Qi took the title deed from the owner and a familiar sound erupted in his mind.
[Congratulations to host for procuring new property.]
[Host is unbeatable within its compound.]
[Bonus of 50 Five-Elent Stones delivered.]
[Keep up the good work!]
He was pleasantly surprised by the bonus of 50 Five-Elent Stones.
And it made him more eager to get the retail store settled next.
"Congrats on the new house, brother Xuan Qi!" Huo Fei Li and Sima Long cupped their hands at him and said.
He gave them a fake smile back and said, "Don’t think that I don’t know what both of you are thinking of right now."
Sima Long slapped the back of his head and rubbed his tummy, "It’s ti for lunch anyway."
"Yeah, it wouldn’t hurt to have sothing to eat and drink." Huo Fei Li said with a huge grin.
Finally, he could bring Lin Xuan Qi and Sima Long to see what Bian Jing had to offer.
The owner who was still there chuckled and said with envy, "It’s sure great to be young like you."
He wished that he were a cultivator like Huo Fei Li.
Being able to lead a longer life than mortals like him was sothing he had wished for.
But it was not to be for soone like him without Spirit Roots.
"I shall not intrude on you any longer." The owner said and his servants ca over to carry the wooden chest.
The owner left with his servants imdiately.
Lin Xuan Qi glanced at Yue Xin and Liu Shi Shi and said, "Tidy up the place and stay here with the guards.
"I will be back as soon as I’m done with them."
"Yes, Master Lin." Both Yue Xin and Liu Shi Shi replied in unison.
They would rather he stayed with them in their new house but they also knew that it was inevitable for him to go out and socialize.
"Heh. Don’t worry, I will take good care and look after your master from other won..." Sima Long said and quickly stopped when he felt the gaze on him from Lin Xuan Qi.
Lin Xuan Qi shook his head, feeling that it might have been a mistake to let Sima Long and Huo Fei Li get to know each other.
