Chapter 84 The real estate from the sky is too far away(1/2)

The waiter greeted me warmly. I had noticed before that all the guests staying in this hotel came by carriage. They were all dressed in gorgeous clothes and were either rich or noble.

When the waiter saw that there was no carriage behind us, and the clothes were not gorgeous, but only coarse cloth, his smile immediately disappeared.

The waiter grimaced, and his attitude suddenly turned cold. He pointed to the street on the next floor and said, "You have gone to the wrong door. Our store only entertains wealthy businessmen and nobles. Ordinary people go to the common people's inn."

I didn't move. I took out a silver coin and put it on the counter. "That's right, we are wealthy businessmen specializing in business without capital. Please give me the two most expensive guest rooms."

The clerk glanced at the money and sneered: "Think carefully, the cheapest room in our store costs five silver coins per night, and the best room costs five gold coins per night...gold!"

"Absurd. I have stayed in the most expensive inn in Yuancheng, and I have never seen such outrageous prices. How dare you open your mouth for a small shop in a small town, or do you think... this is a black shop?" Ximen Wuhen took a step forward.

He stepped forward, approached the man, lowered his head and looked into his eyes. The strong pressure made it difficult for the man to breathe.

"No, you just say you don't have money when you don't have money. What's going on? If you can't pay, you still have to beat someone up?" The man swallowed his saliva and straightened his back forcibly, not wanting to lose to Ximen Wuhen in terms of momentum.

Our luggage was carried by Nan Jiu and others and left outside the city.

What the five of us carry on our backs is the Fu family’s ‘liquidity’.

Ximen Wuhen took out ten gold ingots from the leather bag on his back and smashed them on the counter.

Gold is relatively heavy, so only those of us with strong martial arts skills can carry a bag of gold and silver as easily as carrying goose feathers.

He took out five more ingots of gold, slapped them on the counter, and said loudly:

"This is the money to compensate for the cabinet."

He patted ten ingots of gold into the countertop, leaving only one third on top.

It's really hard to pull this thing out, and I'd probably have to cut the cabinet open.

The waiter's attitude regained his enthusiasm, and he invited us upstairs and arranged for us to stay in the best room.

This store has three floors, each with a different style.

The main reasons are the different grades of building materials, the different levels of luxury decoration, and the different quality of furniture materials.

The washbasin and toilet in our room are all gold-rimmed with jade, the sheets, quilt covers, and pillowcases are made of the finest silk, the window curtain hooks are carved from beautiful jade, and the wood used for the tables, chairs, and wardrobes is overseas 'Wannian Xiang'.

This wood will continue to emit fragrance and taste elegant and pleasant.

The bricks paved on the floor are also the "thermostatic stone" unique to the north.

It will change with the ambient temperature. It will be warm in winter and cool in summer. It is a pure natural floor heating and floor cooling fan.

Since it is not easy to mine thermostone and its output is very small, not everyone in the royal family of various countries can use it.

Except for the emperor's bedroom, only the most favored concubines could lay thermostatic stone floor tiles.

This innkeeper actually moved the things that all the nobles in the palace couldn't get into his shop into his small shop. His background is probably...

However, although thermostone is precious, it is not prohibited from being used by the public. As long as you have the connections and money, you can still get it.

I specifically picked this store, and it seems I made the right choice.

Ximen Wuhen shares a room with Manager Zhang and Yue Nanxiang to facilitate their protection.

Yun Zhou and I were in the same room. When he entered the room, he put the money bag on the table, ran to me and stared at me seriously.

His expression was stupid, but I could see his emotions from his eyes.

"It's hard to be a good person." I also put down my money bag, picked up the expensive jade teapot and poured myself a cup of tea.

The tea is the "Morning Dew Tea" produced in Luofeng. The annual output of the thousand-year-old tea tree is so small that even the royal family of the country has to avoid drinking it.

"Be a bad guy." Yun Zhou tilted his head and looked at me. With his current level of intelligence, he couldn't tell the specific attributes of good guys and bad guys. He simply knew that good guys and bad guys were opposite words.

Since his condition improved, Manager Zhang, Yue Nanxiang, and Ximen Wuhen taught him a lot of things every day.

But he can remember and understand less than 1% of the content.

Strictly speaking, he is still a fool now.

It's just an improvement in feeling other people's emotional changes.

I have facial paralysis, so how he could tell that I was in a bad mood was a mystery.

After successfully performing chivalrous acts in Huaicheng, we are introduced to characters with powerful backgrounds.

They are different from the Fu family and his son, even the hired thugs are at the level of street gangsters.

They are at least a prince, and the killers they can send out are of a very high level.

If Lord Tengxue is willing to protect them, then what we have to face will be an enemy backed by imperial power.

To be honest, I kind of want to back out.

When I decided to follow the clues, I wanted to help those poor white-haired people who were looking for their daughters. Their daughters were nowhere to be found. I thought that maybe by finding the Fu family's father and son's online source, I could find out their whereabouts.

Whether you spend money to buy it or do something else, there may be a chance to bring the person back.

Whether in modern times or in ancient times, abducting children is an immoral act that kills a thousand people.

But I didn't expect at the time that the Fu family's and his son's online contacts were actually relatives of the provincial officials.

This matter would be easier to handle if we were partners with a pure interest relationship.

If family ties are involved, the provincial official will probably not kill relatives out of justice.

In particular, all provincial affairs were handled by Mo Qiwei, the wife of the provincial official. This woman promoted her natal family and gave all the lucrative jobs in the province to her natal family.

It's strange that she would 'enforce the law impartially' to her brother.

"Oh...it's troublesome." But since we have already caused trouble, we can't be afraid of it.

Because there is no point in being afraid, even if I want to let it go, the other party will not let it go.

For example, right now, someone is spying on us outside the window.

There is a window eaves outside the window of this inn to protect you from the wind and rain, and there is a person squatting above it.

"Whose friend is that outside the window? Isn't it uncomfortable to squat down? Why don't you go inside and sit down?" I let out "qi" threads that covered the whole room.

The windows are open to the outside. It is quite warm in the evening at this time of year, but it only gets a bit cooler at night.

As soon as I finished speaking, a black shadow flashed out of the window. The black shadow was as light as a swallow. It flew into the room and knelt down on one knee to salute me.

"Xiaojiao has met the island owner!"

"What?" I was stunned for a moment, thinking I was hallucinating.

"Xiaojiao has met the island owner!"

"Who are you? Who is the owner of the island?" I glanced at Yun Zhou and thought to myself, is it possible that he has an island privately?

"I am a disciple of the Biyi Sect, and you are the island owner. This is a personal letter from the old island owner." The man in black took out a letter from his arms and presented it to me respectfully.

There was no poison on the letter. I took it, opened the envelope, and unfolded the folded letter paper.

At first glance, I saw the four characters "My disciple personally initiates" written on the top of the head.

Let’s look at the signature again… ‘Master Xiao Bei Tu’.

At this time, the man in black pulled off his scarf, revealing her true face. She looked three-thirds like Liu Yanyan and was about twenty years old.

Xiao Beitu has been separated from us for some time.

In the letter, he said that he had retrieved his daughter's ashes and brought them back to Biyi Island together with his wife's ashes.

Now that he has found his wife and children, he has no regrets in this life. He hopes that his family will be reunited and never be separated.

Xiaojiao shed two lines of tears. I guessed that the meaning of this family reunion was consistent with my understanding.

This letter is Xiao Beitu’s suicide note!

The letter was long and thick, and he had a lot to explain.

Their family has been reunited, but when he left, the Biyi Sect had no heir. He only had one disciple, Xiaojiao.

Xiaojiao was an orphan. Because she looked a bit like Liu Yanyan, Xiao Beitu accepted her as his disciple. However, he had been practicing martial arts in seclusion for these years and had not cared much about Xiaojiao.

Xiaojiao is not outstanding among the disciples of the Biyi Sect, and her talent in martial arts is average.

Because she looks very similar to Liu Yanyan, Xiao Beitu didn't want her to end badly, so he asked her to come to me as a lone figure.

He passed the position of the island owner to me, and the letter contained the island owner's token. With this token, I am the island owner of Byi Island, and no one can question it.

It's just that someone else has inherited the position of leader of the Biyi Sect. I have never practiced the martial arts of the Biyi Sect, so I am not qualified to inherit the position of leader.

But the position of the island owner does not conflict with the position of the head. It has the "property rights" of the island of Bizhidao, which is similar to the landlord.

The Bizpai are just tenants living on the island.

There has been a precedent for the two positions of island owner and head being inherited by different people.

So the disciples of the Biyi Sect have nothing to say.

Moreover, Biyi Island is rented out as a 'landlord sharing', which means that Xiao Beitu left his land and property to me.

There is also a cemetery for their family of three on that land.

This is indeed a bit sudden. He looks so young. He has just mastered the "evil" skills that can rank among the top 20 martial arts masters. There are many possibilities in the future.

In the end, the person said it was gone and it was gone, and it was the dead end that he embarked on himself.
To be continued...
