"You two gentlemen, in this area and with such a big house, ten thousand taels is really cheap. Young gentlemen, you can inquire about the value of the houses around you. If they are too expensive, I will rip off your head!"
"You guy, what do we need your head for?" Li Yue stared.
"Ten thousand taels, that's it." Chu Li patted Li Yue on the shoulder.
He looked at it with a large round mirror and was very satisfied with the layout of the house. The front hall, main courtyard, backyard and garden were all prepared. It was more than enough to accommodate more than a hundred people.
"Brother, isn't this too hasty?" Li Yue's eyes widened: "I haven't gone in to see it yet!"
"No need to read, go and apply for the deed." Chu Li smiled at the dental shop clerk: "It's best not to leave anything behind. We usually live in the Duke's Mansion and don't have much time. We don't want to cause trouble!"
"Of course!" The middle-aged man nodded hurriedly and smiled apologetically, but he was startled and secretly wiped his hands with cold sweat, almost causing trouble!
"Can you move in today?"
The middle-aged waiter nodded hurriedly and said with a smile: "Of course, but there are some days when no one lives there, so it's best to clean it up."
"Yeah, I know, thank you very much."
"Hey, I would like to thank the two young masters. The younger one will go and do it right away. It will be done soon!"
Chu Li nodded: "After it's done and sent to the Duke's Mansion, I asked to find Chu Li in the East Garden."
"clear."
The two walked back, and Li Yue whispered: "Brother, it's better to keep a low profile when buying such a big house. Why let him go to the house?"
Chu Li shook his head: "There is nothing that cannot be said to anyone, it's nothing."
"There's nothing wrong with being magnanimous, but what's the matter? Now that you've suddenly ascended to the sixth rank, I don't know how many people are envious, jealous, and hateful. They all wish you had made a mistake and been demoted!"
"What's wrong with this?"
"People will ask, where did you get so much money?"
"A reward from the house."
"People will ask, what did you do to deserve such a reward?"
"Then it won't be anyone else's turn to ask."
"Alas..., this is too arrogant anyway!"
"Okay, don't worry, nothing will happen. I told the manager all this."
"Mr. Su knows?"
"Um."
"That's good, that's good." Li Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them had just returned to the Duke's Mansion when they met the graceful Zhao Ying at the south gate. When Zhao Ying saw them, she swooped over like a swallow.
"Senior brother!" She smiled: "Senior brother Li."
Chu Li looked at her and smiled: "Congratulations, junior sister!"
Zhao Ying smiled sweetly and said: "It's okay, okay, let's set off as soon as possible!"
"Well, I'll leave today!" Chu Li nodded.
Li Yue hurriedly asked what happened, but Chu Li hadn't told him about Menghu Village yet.
Chu Litui said that he would talk about it after he got back, and he and Zhao Ying separated to find horses, met at the south gate, drove the horses through Chongming City, exited the south gate, and rode on.
Because of the delay, it was already noon and the sun was just setting. The two of them had internal energy to protect their bodies and did not feel too hot. The two horses had just run and were in high spirits.
"Senior brother, the tavern has been built, will they come?"
"Let them choose. If they want to live a quiet life, they can stay. If they want to live a more lively life, they can come."
"I think Menghu Village is unsafe."
"Well, I have bought a house, and I will take them over this time."
"Senior brother is still thoughtful!"
"Hope it goes well."
He has been a man for two generations and understands that many things in the world are not according to one's wishes. It is not always possible to do whatever you want. Even if you plan well, you may not be able to do what you want.
"I've been worried that someone would discover it, and I wouldn't be able to practice with peace of mind."
"You entered the country very quickly."
"Senior brother, why can't you see that you know martial arts?"
She was very curious about this. She had obviously reached the innate realm, but she looked like she had never practiced martial arts. She didn't have the aura or appearance of a martial arts master.
It seems that Chu Li does not have the vigorous appearance of a martial arts practitioner, his eyes are not sharp, and his temples are normal. He is just an ordinary person, very deceptive. If he says that he does not know martial arts, only those who know the details will believe him.
"Maybe it's because of the Mortal Transformation Fruit." Chu Li smiled.
His body usually only leaves a trace of internal energy in his dantian, a tiny wisp to cope with sudden changes. All the internal energy is hidden in the earth. With a thought, the internal energy surges in.
There is no surge of internal energy, and certainly no strange appearance. Outsiders cannot tell that he has practiced martial arts.
"What a transformation fruit!" Zhao Ying praised: "Also, senior brother, since you are so good at martial arts, why don't you go to the ninth-grade tower? It would be great to be a guard!"
"How's the guard?"
Zhao Ying nodded: "Of course, you can run out and play, and the salary is high."
Chu Li shook his head and smiled.
"Are the guards not good?" Zhao Ying asked in surprise.
Chu Li smiled and said: "Guarding is not bad, but I don't care about guarding."
"Then where are your ambitions?" Zhao Ying was even more curious.
All the guards in the mansion are working hard as guards and practicing martial arts. In this world where martial arts is prosperous, it is difficult to move forward if you are not good at martial arts. Everything depends on martial arts.
Chu Li did the opposite. Although he had great martial arts skills, he did not want to be a bodyguard and was willing to be a small bodyguard.
Chu Li said: "I think it is safer to be a guard."
"Senior brother, you don't look like a coward!" Zhao Ying tilted her head and looked at him.
Chu Li shook his head: "I cherish my life."
Zhao Ying stared at him curiously: "Brother, you must have some purpose in perfunctory me!"
"Everyone has his or her own ambitions. I like a stable life, so I don't want to be a guard." Chu Li smiled and said, "Isn't this difficult to understand?"
"If I were twenty years older, I would believe this, but to say this at such a young age..." Zhao Ying smiled and shook her head.
Chu Li waved his hand and said with a smile: "I won't be a guard."
"That's such a shame."
"I am also in the sixth grade now!"
"...That's true." Zhao Ying nodded. The status of a sixth-grade bodyguard is almost the same as that of a sixth-grade guard. Only the salary is twice as much.
Chu Li smiled at her.
What I pursue is different from others. What I want is not only martial arts, but also power.
A man cannot live without power for a day. He suffered from the torture of power in his previous life. As a researcher, his research funds were controlled by his superiors. It was like having his testicles pinched. The feeling was too painful and torturous. He set his ambitions countless times.
You must be an official.
When he came to this world, he left the temple just for glory and wealth, and to enjoy the wonderful taste of power.
Although martial arts is the most powerful force in the world, power is even more powerful. Only freedom and freedom are the most beautiful if you have strong martial arts and great power. Only then can your life be considered in vain.
Being a guard can only pursue strong martial arts, and it is difficult to enter the power class of the Duke's government, so he will not break into the ninth rank building under any circumstances.
The two of them were talking while riding horses. At noon the next day, they came to Menghu Village and saw the entrance of the cave. Their expressions suddenly changed.
The huge stone was broken into pieces and scattered all over the ground.
Chu Li looked at the broken pieces and sighed: "What a deep internal force, what a powerful palm power!"
