Chapter 144 Buying the mansion

Chapter 144 Buying a Mansion

"Who is your Excellency?"

Not long after, an old man who looked like a butler appeared in the mansion and walked out.

Lin Mu's attire was so eye-catching that it was difficult not to attract attention.

"I'm looking for your landlord. I want to buy a yard."

Without any further delay, Lin Mu got straight to the point.

"ah?"

The old housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and then said with excitement, "Dear guest, please come with me."

The news that the Lie family is selling their ancestral home has been announced for almost ten days.

At first, some people asked, but later on, no one even asked, let alone sold.

Now, it's not easy for someone to come to his door. Why isn't he excited?

A few minutes later, Lin Mu was sitting in the main hall of Lie's mansion, surrounded by Lie's family members.

"No need to say any more nonsense. You already know the purpose of my coming here. Let's just make an offer."

Lin Mu skillfully lowered his voice and said in a hoarse voice.

"Nine hundred spiritual stones, or nine million gold coins."

The person who spoke was an old silver woman from the Lie family.

Converted to copper coins, that's 900 million.

Lin Mu was slightly silent.

The price offered by the old lady Yin is not very high, and Liefu's ancestral house is worth this price.

But when doing business, you must negotiate. After all, Liefu's ancestral house cannot be sold now.

What's more, nine hundred spiritual stones is not a small amount for him.

He has a total of 1,730 spirit stones on his body. If he really has to pay 900 spirit stones, he will only have more than 800 left.

So it’s worth saving a little bit.

"Seven hundred spiritual stones." After thinking for a moment, Lin Mu said.

Hearing this, everyone in Liefu was not angry but happy.

Some people came to inquire before, but they all left immediately after hearing the price. Lin Mu was willing to negotiate the price, which showed that he really wanted to buy it.

The two parties started serious negotiations on the spot.

Lin Mu didn't go too far. The Lie family's situation was bad enough. He could lower the price, but he couldn't add insult to injury.

In the end, the two parties settled the deal for 800 spirit stones.

When Lin Mu took out the spirit stone on the spot, everyone in the Lie family breathed a sigh of relief, and many even cried with joy.

With this money, although they cannot enjoy the same luxury as before, with a small yard, they can at least maintain their lives.

"senior."

After the transaction, a middle-aged man from the Lie family walked up to Lin Mu.

Everyone in the Lie family regarded Lin Mu as an old man, and since he was so generous, he must be very powerful.

Therefore, their attitude was very respectful and they did not have any evil intentions.

Lin Mu looked at him calmly and said nothing.

"Junior Lieyan, the late Liefeng was my brother."

While talking, the middle-aged man took out a small sword.

Lin Mu's expression changed slightly: "Huh?"

"Actually, the Fire Cloud Sword is a mother-child sword. This is the daughter sword of the Fire Cloud Sword."

Lie Yan held the sword in both hands and presented it to Lin Mu, "If there is a child sword, it can sense the mother sword. The junior hopes to dedicate this sword to the senior."

"If I'm not mistaken, although this sword is oversized, it can still be considered a spiritual weapon."

Lin Mu didn't answer, and stared at him with a dark gaze, "If you sell it, it will be worth at least hundreds of spirit stones, why give it to me?"

Seeing that Lin Mu was not moved at all by the temptation of the sword and could still be so calm, Lie Yan was secretly frightened and became more determined in his thoughts.

"To be honest, senior, my brother was killed by a thief. As a brother, I am unable to avenge him, but that doesn't mean I don't hate him."

Lie Yan took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Senior, with this child sword, in the future, if you get close to the mother sword within a hundred miles, you will be able to sense its location, and at the same time you will be able to find the thief who killed my brother."

"You want me to avenge your brother?"

Lin Mu finally understood what the other party was thinking and blocked the other party's sword, "I have other important matters and I'm afraid I won't have time to follow up on this matter."

It would be fine if he didn't know. Now that he knew that the perpetrators were probably the Qiao family, why would he take a trip into this muddy water.

The material of this sword was extraordinary, and he was very moved, but there was no way he would risk his life for it.

"Senior, I didn't mean this."

Lie Yan said hurriedly, "As long as the seniors have a chance to meet each other in the future, they can just help the juniors once. There is no need for the seniors to deliberately investigate."

The more Lin Mu refused, the more he felt that the other party was a person who kept his promise. If he were an ordinary person, he would accept the treasure first and then talk about it, whether you promise or not.

"Why so?"

Shaking his head and sighing, Lin Mu no longer had any resistance in his heart.

The temptation of spiritual weapons to him is definitely not small.

In addition to the Huoyunzi Sword in front of him, he currently only has one other spiritual weapon, the Chunyang Sword, and the latter was left by his father. It contains a token and cannot be used easily.

"No matter what, if you give it to your senior, there is finally a glimmer of hope. Leaving it in my hands can only be wasted."

Lie Yan smiled bitterly.

He had no talent for martial arts since he was a child. He has been practicing for more than thirty years and is now only a first-level martial artist.

At that moment, Lin Mu no longer refused and took the Huoyunzi Sword, secretly thinking that he did not have the strength to deal with the Qiao family now, but he might not be able to deal with it ten years later.

One day later, everyone in the Lie family completely moved out of the Lie Mansion.

Lin Mu immediately asked someone to change the door plaque and wrote: "Huang Ting Mansion."

Not taking Qingyun Garden is to prevent anyone from connecting it with Qingyun Garden in Xichuan City, making it easier to keep it secret.

The name Huang Ting comes from a famous Huang Ting Jing in Wu Qingyun’s memory.

He would often reflect on Wu Qingyun's memories, and there were many famous works in them that had a lot of inspiration for his martial arts.

Of course, that's all. Most of those famous works are extremely mysterious and profound. With his level, he can only understand the superficial meaning.

Changing the door plaque means that from now on, the mansion belongs to him personally.

Without wasting time, Lin Mu chose a secret room and took out the Tianmen blueprint.

Throwing it to the ground, the Tianmen blueprint immediately transformed into a black formation altar just like last time.

"It's finally done."

Lin Mu smiled happily.

Stepping into the black formation altar, the space rotated, and in two breaths, he appeared in the territory of the thunder beast.

"Mr. Mu."

From the side, there was suddenly a sound of surprise.

Lin Mu turned around and saw a little girl walking from behind.

This little girl, he still remembered, was called Mingzhi.

"Mingzhi, what's going on with you?"

But seeing Mingzhi's appearance, Lin Mu frowned.

The little girl's face was pale, and there were burnt marks on some exposed skin, as if she had been tortured.

Seeing that Lin Mu seemed to have some misunderstanding, Mingzhi quickly explained: "Mr. Mu, I just came out of the thunder pool."

Lin Mu was shocked. He originally used the Thunder Beast Clan's territory as a training base because he wanted to make full use of the Thunder Pond.

But at that time, I thought that the older children should be trained first, and the younger ones would wait for a while.

The Mingzhi in front of me is only eight years old.

"Is someone forcing you?" Lin Mu said solemnly.

"Mr. Mu, I volunteered."

Mingzhi said firmly, "Whether it's for Mr. Mu or for myself, I must become stronger."

"But it would be too painful to temper the body in the thunder pool."

Lin Mu knew very well how painful the Thunder Pool Tempering was, and it was hard to imagine how this little girl could bear it.
