Chapter 37: The Old Mansion Seeks Fresh Flowers and Collects Them?

  "Finally got rid of this annoying girl!"

  Qin Hao quickly left the Old Soldier Bar and turned around the corner, feeling a sense of relief in his heart, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

  He naturally understood Ye Zi's feelings for him, but what Qin Hao pursued was the pinnacle of martial arts, and he had no interest in romantic love affairs, so he didn't want to waste his time on such meaningless things.

  If Ye Zi didn't have the status of being the eldest miss of the Luoyun Sect, he wouldn't waste his precious cultivation time accompanying her to drink together. To him, wasting cultivation time was an extremely shameful thing.

  "Women are such a nuisance!" Qin Hao gently stroked his handsome face, shaking his head repeatedly. "Alas! It's all because of this face that drives people crazy! Fortunately, I can finally be at peace now and go back to practicing my skills!"

  Qin Hao was about to move forward when he suddenly heard the sound of noisy scolding and crying from a little girl coming from the street corner opposite him.

  "Damn little thief! So young and already stealing things, what will happen when you grow up? Where are your parents? Whose child is this?"

  A large crowd of people gathered at the entrance of the opposite steamed bun shop, in the center of the crowd a stout woman was standing with her hands on her hips and scolding loudly. In front of her stood an eleven or twelve-year-old little girl. The little girl's clothes were tattered and worn out, her face covered with tear stains, tightly clutching a hot steamed bun in her hand, quietly sobbing there.

  "Big sister, please! I'm hungry!" The little girl begged with tears all over her face.

  "Just because you're hungry, you can steal things? This is a small business, I can't afford to feed freeloaders. No way, if your parents don't come, you can't leave!" The fat woman raised her voice again.

  "This is the little ancestor!"

  Qin Hao saw the little girl and his face violently twitched, he quickly turned around and walked into the alley.

  At the same time, he also sweated for that fat woman. Needless to say, she was in trouble today. The shop being demolished by the little devil was considered a light punishment.

  "Hehe! Qin Hao, where are you in such a hurry to go?" A cheerful voice came, and in front of Qin Hao, a delicate little girl appeared.

  The little girl had tear stains at the corners of her eyes, and she was still holding a snow-white steamed bun in her hand, with hot air rising from it. The tattered old clothes on her body were nowhere to be seen, replaced by a beautiful long skirt.

  "Ah...... it's Ling'er's sister!" Qin Hao's face twitched, and he smiled helplessly, "Ling'er, why aren't you staying on Luoyun Peak? What are you doing here?"

  "Hmph! Qin Hao gege, someone just bullied me and you clearly saw it, why didn't you come to save me?" Ye Ling'er pouted her small mouth in discontent.

  "Is someone bullying you?"

  Qin Hao said with a sneer, you're not bullying others, that's good enough, who dares to bully you?

  But in this case, he didn't dare say it out loud, and could only smile bitterly.

  "Qin Hao, gege, come here!" Ye family's second miss said with a giggle, but her clear eyes sparkled with a hint of danger.

  "Ah!" Qin Hao walked over with a bitter face.

  "Don't resist!" Ye Ling'er said with a sweet smile.

  "I know."

  Qin Hao smiled wryly and nodded slightly.

  Ye Ling'er clenched her small fist and shouted loudly, punching Qin Hao's stomach heavily!

  "Ah!"

  Qin Hao let out an extremely exaggerated cry of pain, his tall body flying backward and crashing through two houses before finally coming to a stop.

  "Does it hurt that much?" Ye Ling'er giggled and said, "Brother Qin Hao's acting skills are getting better and better!"

  Qin Hao smiled wryly and thought to himself that if he didn't perform well, he would have to take another punch, so it was better to put in some effort.

  "Qin Hao, brother, do you know why I hit you this time?" Ye Ling'er asked with a smile.

  Qin Hao shook his head repeatedly: "I don't know! Ling'er sister, do you need any reason to hit someone?"

  "Oh? So you're saying I'm being unreasonable?" Ye Ling'er said with narrowed eyes.

  "What? No, absolutely not!" Qin Hao was startled and waved his hands repeatedly, "Ling'er is the most lovely girl, how could she be unreasonable?"

  "That's all you need to know!" Ye Ling'er hummed lightly, "Qin Huai, first you spoke ill of me in the bar, and then outside you said my sister is a troublesome woman. Did you think I couldn't hear?"

  Qin Hao was caught red-handed and could only smile wryly and shake his head.

  "But you've finally praised my brother Lin Feng, so I'll forgive you for this matter!" Ye Ling'er waved her hand and said, "See, am I not a generous person?"

  "Yes, indeed it is!" Qin Hao hastily replied.

  "Hehe! Qin Hao gege, I'm leaving now! Remember, next time when we talk about others' business, keep your voice down a bit." Ye Ling'er smiled slightly and disappeared in an instant.

  "What bad luck! How did I run into this little jinx!"

  Xuan Jia's heavy cavalry commander Qin Hao couldn't help but smile wryly as he held his belly and walked towards his residence...

  Lin Feng spent half a day strolling around Luoyun City and finished all the lollipops in his hand before arriving at the foot of Luoyun Peak.

  Only inner disciples of the Luoyun Sect can ascend to the top of Luoyun Peak, while others live in various parts of Luoyun City.

  The industries within Luoyun City also belong to the Luoyun Sect. Therefore, in the area adjacent to Luoyun Peak, there are also some institutions established by the Luoyun Sect to manage these urban industries.

  These places were all visited by Lin Feng when he was a child, so now they are also considered familiar roads.

  Against the backdrop of Luoyun Peak, there is a two-story small building with no sign on it, only a golden cloud pattern emblem of Luoyun Sect, and next to the emblem is carved a house pattern. This is where Luoyun City sells houses in the city.

  Next to this small building, on top of another small building, there is the emblem of Luoyun Sect and a pattern of gold coins. Needless to say, this is the money exchange house used by Luoyun Sect to exchange gold coins.

  Lin Feng first walked into the small building where gold coins were exchanged and went straight to the VIP area. Although he was wearing a linen robe, he was emitting the aura of a sixth-level strong practitioner of the Tiger Form Fist, so no one came to stop him.

  The VIP room was a small, enclosed space. Lin Feng casually walked into one of them. On the wall of this room, there was a square hole about the size of a foot, covered with thick black curtains. All transactions were conducted through this hole, for the sake of not revealing any wealth.

  "May I ask if there's anything I can help you with?" A soft yet icy female voice came from behind the curtain.

  "I need a gold card for storing gold coins!" Lin Feng said straightforwardly.

  "Sir, processing a gold card requires at least 10,000 gold coins. I wonder if sir has enough gold coins?" The woman's voice hesitated for a moment before responding again.

  "Put all these gold coins in," Lin Feng said, waving his hand. A large amount of gold coins suddenly appeared out of thin air and flew directly into the black hole, drilling through the gap in the curtain.

  Most of these gold coins were seized from the old nest of the Horizontal Blade Gang, and a small part was left by that little girl called Ling'er. These gold coins occupied too many positions in the Jade Pendant space, so Lin Feng also planned to store them in the Golden Card issued by the Luoyun Sect, which would be more convenient to use.

  "After all the gold coins flew in, there was a brief silence inside, and then that gentle female voice sounded again. This time, however, her tone had some warmth: 'Sir, it's a total of 2 million gold coins, right?'"

  "Right." Lin Feng replied.

  "This is your gold card, please keep it well." A delicate white hand stretched out from behind the curtain, two slender fingers pinching a golden card.

  This golden card is the gold coin card that can be used within the range of Lu Yunzong's power, and it can be withdrawn in every city. It can also be used directly for shopping, which is very convenient.

  "Thank you." Lin Feng nodded and took over the golden card, putting it into the Jade Pendant space.

  "The voice sounds small, but there are so many gold coins. Where did this young man come from?" The little hand withdrew, and a low, puzzled voice came from inside...

  Lin Feng walked out of the money house and went straight into a small building next door that sold houses.

  "Sir, all the houses on these signs are for sale. I don't know which one you're interested in?" said an old man with a white beard behind the counter.

  Although Lin Feng was dressed in plain clothes, as a strong Tiger Form Fist sixth rank practitioner, he naturally received enough respect here.

  No one doubted that he had the ability to buy a house. As a joke, how could a strong man of the sixth rank of Tiger Fist be poor?

  Lin Feng looked at the signs placed on the counter. They had pictures of mansions, marked with their locations and prices.

  "Qingyun Street No. 253, price: one million gold coins. Qingyun Street No. 18, price: two and a half million gold coins. Baiyu Road No. 37, price: nine hundred thousand gold coins, ......."

  Lin Feng's eyes were calm as he looked at the price on the sign.

  Luoyun City is indeed a place where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold, and the mansions here don't cost less than 10,000 gold coins. In contrast, an ordinary family in Heishi Town spends no more than ten gold coins per year.

  Lin Feng looked on slowly, the old man was very patient and didn't urge him.

  After looking at all the signs, Lin Feng let out a disappointed sigh.

  "Sir, have you selected a house from among these?" the old man asked kindly.

  Lin Feng shook his head and looked at the old man: "Wangfeng Road 301... Is anyone living there now?"

  "Wangfeng Road 301... Do you want to buy this house?" The old man's eyes flashed with surprise.

  "Hmm!" Lin Feng nodded.

  "This house... has been empty for eight years!" The old man flipped out a sign from under the counter, "It was put up for sale for a while after it was first sold, but later the buyer insisted on returning it even if they had to lower the price. This happened several times in a row, and eventually it wasn't put up for sale again! However, I advise you not to buy this house, because..."

  "I want this house." Lin Feng snatched the sign from the old man's hand.

  "Alas, alas... Although you are quite strong, Elder, but... Never mind, if you really want it, I have no choice. The price is 50,000 gold coins." The old man shook his head and said.

  Lin Feng smiled indifferently and took out a golden card.

  The old man took the card, deducted 50,000 gold coins from it, and returned it to Lin Feng. Then he called over a servant and instructed him, "Take this gentleman to No. 301 Wangfeng Road to complete the house handover."

  "Yes." The servant bowed and then turned to Lin Feng, "Sir, please follow me."

  Lin Feng nodded slightly and followed the servant out of the small building.

  301 Wangfeng Road.

  Outside the mansion, it was almost surrounded by wild grass. The vermilion gate had become mottled, and the steps were covered with green moss.

  The servant took out the key, spent half a day's effort to open the rusty big lock, pushed open the door and said to Lin Feng: "Sir, please come in. This mansion..."

  "No need for introductions, you can leave!" Lin Feng casually took out two gold coins and tossed them to the servant, saying indifferently.

  "Yes, sir." The waiter took the gold coin and hastily left.

  Lin Feng stepped into the courtyard, looking at the familiar scenes around him, and couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.

  It's been eight years and he finally returned here again!
