Chapter 347: Manor

"You!"

Gu Qingsan was provoked by these words and wanted to strike again.

"Enough."

At this moment, Gu Qingyi stopped him in time.

He couldn't watch anymore.

His original intention was just to test Xu Xiaoshou's skills. If they continued, not only would the inn not allow it, but once swords were drawn, it would be difficult to stop the fight.

Both sides were merely in a verbal dispute; there was no need to escalate it to this extent.

And seeing Xu Xiaoshou's passive defense, which could actually bounce back Gu Qingsan's "Zhi Jian Dao Ti," further proved that the person in front of them was a body cultivation expert.

This kind of muscular man was destined to have no relation with sword cultivators.

Jian Nian?

That was even more impossible!

"My apologies, we disturbed you today. This is a small token from us brothers; we hope to gain your forgiveness."

Gu Qingyi said, taking out a ring and handing it over.

Xu Xiaoshou stood still, thought for a moment, and no longer retorted. He reached out and took the ring.

"Alright, I forgive you."

"You—"

Gu Qingsan was furious again but was quickly held back by his second senior brother.

Since the eldest senior brother didn't intend to continue, how could he let his junior brother keep messing around?

He originally thought that this fight was completely unnecessary.

"Farewell."

Gu Qingyi nodded and bowed, then left with his two junior brothers.

Xu Xiaoshou touched the ring in his hand and gazed at their backs, falling into deep thought.

Originally, according to his idea, a fight today was impossible.

However, the leading senior brother was so polite, which was beyond his expectation.

His thoughts were similar to Gu Qingyi's, just to test.

By making a fuss while they were looking for Jian Nian, he tested the strength of these three people.

He had a rough idea why these guys with famous swords were here.

"Bai Ku?"

He frowned and returned to his house.

As time passed, various things related to "Bai Ku" were gradually surfacing.

According to his speculation, Jiao Tangtang and Xin Gugu should also be here for "Bai Ku," but their purpose should be something like Momo's ghost beast parasites.

And these three sword cultivators were obviously attracted by the "You Si Jian."

Regardless of the reason, it was clear that this was just the beginning.

There was still some time before "Bai Ku" opened.

Perhaps, more similar existences would come one after another.

"What a headache."

Xu Xiaoshou rubbed his head and lay on the bed. "Bai Ku" hadn't even opened yet, and he had already seen what kind of opponents he was facing.

Jian Zong, famous swords...

"No, I still need to hold onto Xin Gugu tightly!" He made a firm decision in his heart.

Tian Sang Cheng, Nan Tian Jie.

This is a prosperous area in the city, where residents are either rich or noble, all prominent figures in Tian Sang Cheng.

At the end of Nan Tian Jie is the famous city lord's mansion.

Although Xu Xiaoshou hadn't seen it yet, the number of black-armored forbidden guards he had seen along the way was already quite impressive.

"This security level is really something." He clicked his tongue in admiration.

Xin Gugu led the way in front and said, "Isn't this as you said? It needs to be hidden and also prevent assassinations, so it can only be here."

"This place is too close to the city lord's mansion. As long as there's any noise, the forbidden guards can arrive in time."

"If a Wang Zuo comes, they might even have to be invited by the city lord's mansion for tea."

Xu Xiaoshou nodded, indicating satisfaction.

"Exactly, it cost quite a few Ling Jing." Xin Gugu looked up and stealthily glanced at the young man beside him.

"It's fine."

Xu Xiaoshou waved his hand; even if the money was spent, he wasn't afraid.

As long as Xin Gugu stayed, everything was negotiable.

"Xu Xiaoshou, what exactly did you buy?" Mu Zixi asked curiously from the side.

Along the way, the people they encountered had decreased, but the quality had improved by more than one level.

Everyone they met was well-fed and looked very wealthy.

Xu Xiaoshou chuckled and didn't explain.

"We're here."

Soon, the three stopped.

In front of them was a magnificent small estate, with lush spiritual trees inside. Even before entering, they could feel the auspicious aura of the place.

"Here is our new home from now on!"

Xu Xiaoshou laughed heartily, patted the little girl's head with one hand, and raised the other to pat, but thinking that this was a Wang Zuo and it might be rude, he only patted Xin Gugu's shoulder.

"Home?"

Mu Zixi's eyes flashed with emotion, her face darkened slightly, as if something had been stirred up.

But she quickly shook her head and said in surprise: "Xu Xiaoshou, are you crazy? We're only staying here for a few days; we'll have to go back to Ling Gong soon. You bought an estate?"

"How much did that cost?"

The little girl parted her lips slightly, in disbelief.

"What do you know?"

Xu Xiaoshou flicked her forehead, "This is for cultivation needs. If I have to compensate the inn every time I cultivate, who can afford that?"

He felt a bit pained.

That slash during the day had cost him over a hundred thousand Ling Jing.

If he did that every time he cultivated, staying in the city for over ten days would cost him millions. That would be enough to buy half an estate!

Xin Gugu didn't pay attention to the two.

He was a bit excited, as this was the new home he had personally transacted. He couldn't wait to take out the token to open the barrier.

When he reached the gate, he sobered up a bit.

Although he had transacted it, the money was paid by Xu Xiaoshou.

Obviously, it would be better for the owner to perform the opening ceremony.

"You do it!"

Xu Xiaoshou smiled and said.

This estate was bought half because of Xin Gugu, so it was natural for him to open it personally to have a stronger sense of belonging.

Xin Gugu raised an eyebrow and didn't pretend.

As soon as the token was imprinted, the protective array barrier flashed, and then the gate opened.

The three entered with excitement.

The estate was vast inside, a far cry from the rudimentary facilities in Ling Gong.

The courtyard was planted with spiritual flowers and exotic grasses, each exuding spiritual energy, clearly not ordinary items.

Most notably, the scattered spiritual trees seemed to be planted in positions that incorporated some array principles, attracting a lot of spiritual energy.

The concentration of heaven and earth spiritual energy here, though not as high as in the inner courtyard, was much stronger than in the outer courtyard.

The little girl instantly became excited and ran out, complaining about Xu Xiaoshou's wasteful spending one second ago, and loving this unique little estate the next.

Xin Gugu also looked at it with joy; he had only seen estate scenery in jade slips before and bought it directly.

Now that he was here, the environment was clearly to his liking.

"Home?"

Xu Xiaoshou also had a full face of smiles, but his attention wasn't here.

He took out a gold-embossed invitation from his bosom, glanced at the date, which showed tomorrow evening.

"Xin Gugu."

"Hmm?" Xin Gugu turned back.

Xu Xiaoshou shook the invitation in his hand and said, "Want to go to the city lord's mansion for some fun? It should be quite interesting, unexpectedly."
