If he wasn’t wrong, he would have thirty-five kilograms of rice by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And lastly, there was a need to buy groceries, essential items and clothes for the servant girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought in mind, Lin Xuan Qi got out of his room and walked in the direction of the dining hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Lin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Cong, Yue Jie and Yue Xin greeted him when he walked into the dining hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Cong quickly filled a bowl of porridge and placed it at his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Jie poured a cup of tea and placed the teacup next to the bowl of porridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was then led by Yue Xin to walk over to the dining table and sat down in his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Cong, Yue Jie and Yue Xin stood by the table and waited for him to start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did I say before? Sit down and have your meal with me.\" Lin Xuan Qi glanced at the three servant girls and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Jie and Yue Xin glanced over at Xue Cong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Cong nodded, and they sat in the seats beside Lin Xuan Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unaware of what had transpired last night, they happily tucked into the breakfast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan Qi couldn’t help but feel a sense of achievement having been able to fend off the thieves for Xue Cong, Yue Jie and Yue Xin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe that’s what makes some people want to serve and protect, he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he finished his porridge, Lin Xuan Qi took out a tael of silver and passed it over to Xue Cong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Use this to buy clothes for everyone including me.

I’ve been thinking about your meat buns the whole day.\" Lin Xuan Qi greeted him back and ordered two meat buns from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Bao burst out in a huge smile when he heard Lin Xuan Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I feel so flattered. Glad you like my meat buns.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s true.\" Lin Xuan Qi said and handed two copper coins to Luo Bao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Luo Bao was happy with what he had said, Lin Xuan Qi proceeded to ask, \"Do you know which martial arts hall I should go to if I needed to employ someone for the security of the mansion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, security. Indeed, your master would need security for such a big mansion.\" Luo Bao nodded and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed to the direction of the slave brokerage and continued, \"Go further down the street after the Slave brokerage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should see the Cloud Sword Martial Hall five hundred meters away from the Slave brokerage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are the largest in the city, you wouldn’t go wrong with them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks.\" Lin Xuan Qi thanked Luo Bao and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked past the slave brokerage, continued walking ahead, and he stopped after five hundred meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sounds of men shouting in unison could be heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound came from within a building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan Qi glanced at the plaque on top of the doors, it had the words ’Cloud Sword Martial Hall’ carved on the plaque.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doors weren’t closed, and Lin Xuan Qi walked up to the doors and glanced inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples inside stood in rows and they cried out at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them made the same action, taking a step forward and punching forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged man dressed in a robe, stroking his beard, nodded his head as he inspected the punch that the disciples made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good!
