Chapter 347: Wang Ji II

I returned to the conversation room indifferently, continuing to watch the arrogant Wang Ji talking with Shopkeeper Cai. Her gaze was like a torch, as if she could see right through a person, making one unable to help but feel fearful.

However, Cheng Feng was already accustomed to such scenes. He sat quietly to one side; even if he could not hear the specific conversation between the two, being able to observe the interaction between them was a good thing.

Shopkeeper Cai's attitude was very polite, but his words carried a hint of fawning, as if he were very much in awe of this Wang Ji. Wang Ji's response, however, was cold and arrogant, completely failing to take the other party seriously.

"Shopkeeper Cai, I won't make things difficult for you. Tell me the whereabouts of the Red Lotus Sect's Liehuo Fawang, and I will leave right now."

After a while, Wang Ji finally spoke. Her voice was crisp and pleasant, but her tone was full of majesty.

"The noble one is joking. The information we received regarding the Red Lotus Sect's Liehuo Fawang is also incomplete; we dare not guarantee it is definitely true, which is why we haven't brought the information out to sell."

Shopkeeper Cai replied cautiously, not daring to be the least bit negligent. "Moreover, Liehuo Fawang is a Martial Artist of the True Qi Realm; how could we ordinary people dare to oppose him!"

Hearing this, Lin Weichen's mouth curled up slightly, though she sneered inwardly: "It seems this Shopkeeper Cai still has some brains, knowing I have come with ill intent and not daring to offend me lightly. However, since he has already spoken, I will just go with the flow."

Thinking of this, Lin Weichen pretended to sigh helplessly and said: "Shopkeeper Cai, actually I am also forced by circumstances! Do you know? I have some grievances with that Liehuo Fawang. If I cannot learn his whereabouts in advance, I fear I will be in danger of losing my life!"

As she spoke, Lin Weichen deliberately revealed a pitiful appearance, making one unable to help but feel a sense of pity.

Seeing this, Shopkeeper Cai hurriedly comforted her: "The noble one need not worry. As long as you are willing to pay a high price to purchase the intelligence, we will naturally assist you with all our might. After all, harmony brings wealth!"

Lin Weichen nodded, indicating she understood Shopkeeper Cai's difficulties, but at the same time, she proposed a condition: "Shopkeeper Cai, I hope you can provide me with the latest news regarding Liehuo Fawang as soon as possible. Of course, the price is negotiable. But if I discover you have concealed or deceived me, you will bear the consequences!" Having finished, Lin Weichen's gaze became sharp, revealing an unquestionable majesty.

Shopkeeper Cai's heart jolted. He understood that the noble one before him was definitely not a kind person, so he hurriedly agreed and indicated he would immediately arrange for his subordinates to go and collect the relevant intelligence.

Watching Shopkeeper Cai's departing back, a faint, imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Lin Weichen's mouth, and she secretly vowed to herself that she must obtain the information she wanted from this fellow's mouth.

As the conversation unfolded, Wang Ji gradually seized the initiative and began to put forward various demands to Shopkeeper Cai.

Although Shopkeeper Cai was unwilling in his heart, he could only helplessly agree. After all, facing such a powerful and influential figure, he truly could not refuse. Finally, under Shopkeeper Cai's guidance, Wang Ji stood up and walked toward the Rear Courtyard.

A long time later, Wang Ji finally achieved her goal. She was seen with a look of triumph, slowly walking out of the Rear Courtyard, and after bidding farewell to Shopkeeper Cai, she left the Golden Breath Pavilion. At the same time, the guards who had originally been stationed at the entrance of the Golden Breath Pavilion left one after another, which meant that this disturbance had subsided.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Feng walked out the door quickly, fearing being dragged into some inexplicable trouble. He knew that powerful people like Wang Ji often had complex backgrounds and power relationships; if one accidentally offended them, the consequences could be unimaginable. Therefore, he decided to leave here as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble.

According to his original plan, Cheng Feng did not hesitate at all and rushed to the Tooth Agency in Heimu Prefecture without stopping. As soon as he entered the door, he was stunned by the scene before him: the Tooth Agency was bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder, and very lively! Everyone was busy looking for their ideal property.

Cheng Feng was no exception; he wove through the crowd, carefully observing every corner of the map, hoping to find a house that met his wishes.

Under the introduction of the Tooth Agency clerk, he took a fancy to a few houses in good locations.

Subsequently, led by the Tooth Agency clerk, they crossed four streets and walked over three bridges, finally arriving at a place located on the edge of the South City. The environment here was quiet and secluded, with lush trees providing shade and the fragrance of flowers overflowing, making one feel refreshed and happy.

The Tooth Agency clerk pointed to a large courtyard not far ahead and said: "Guest, please look, that is the house you are looking for!"

Cheng Feng looked in the direction the clerk was pointing and saw a spacious and bright large courtyard standing before his eyes. This courtyard had four successive courtyards, each with independent yards and houses, which could satisfy the living needs of Cheng Feng's whole family.

This courtyard not only had a sufficiently large land area, but its geographical location was also excellent, with no other households around, appearing somewhat remote. Incidentally, it could also conceal some of Cheng Feng's own secrets.

What satisfied Cheng Feng most was that this courtyard also had a spacious garden. The garden was planted with flowers, grass, and trees, and there was also a small pond with some goldfish kept inside.

This garden could not only provide a place for the children to play and frolic, but it was also sufficient to meet the landing and takeoff needs of the Solar.

Cheng Feng was very satisfied with this courtyard and immediately made up his mind to buy it. He asked the Tooth Agency clerk about the price and learned that the selling price of this courtyard was forty thousand taels of silver.

Although this price was a bit expensive, for Cheng Feng, it was still affordable. After all, he had already earned quite a lot of money and did not care about this small amount.

Cheng Feng immediately took out forty thousand taels of silver to give to the Tooth Agency clerk and handled the relevant procedures. Seeing this unfamiliar guest wanting to buy such a large courtyard,

the Tooth Agency clerk knew he had encountered a big client; the smile on his face became even brighter, and he worked even harder to handle the procedures.

With silver paving the way, no problem was a problem anymore.

Cheng Feng roughly counted the gold and silver stored in his Space Ring: one hundred and fifty thousand taels.

Setting aside the expenses for the information from the Golden Breath Pavilion, this was already all the wealth Cheng Feng could bring out.

Fortunately, the purpose of coming out this time had been achieved; even after buying the courtyard, there were still one hundred and eleven thousand taels left.

Just relying on it for food and drink, it was also sufficient.

With a way out, Cheng Feng naturally would not abandon the foundation of the Hong Sect; that was the cornucopia he had personally built.

Even if the flames of war arrived, Cheng Feng, having no worries behind him, also wanted to test his own mettle.

The Tooth Agency clerk in the Prefecture City worked very quickly; in one hour, all the procedures were completed, and there was no need for Cheng Feng to worry about anything else.

Looking at the property deed in his hand, Cheng Feng's heart was finally settled.

The next goal was naturally to fill the courtyard with some beautiful and qualified maidservants; this was what Cheng Feng needed most.
