There were quite a few decent restaurants in Hearthstone Town. Lin Feng and the rest casually found a high-class restaurant and booked a private room. They ordered a table full of good food and wine, and the group began to eat.
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, they did not look for a place to stay. Instead, they hurriedly went to take over the seven shops. However, there should be people from the Bai Clan guarding the shops in the seven shops. These people would definitely be chased away.
Soon, they arrived at the first shop. It was a pawnshop. Generally speaking, the business of pawnshops was extremely good. It was also one of the most profitable businesses. After all, it was easy to obtain good items from pawnshops. The prices of these items were usually lower, and there were not many people who could gather enough money to redeem the items.
Therefore, many things could be resold at a high price. Naturally, the profit was incomparably considerable.
When the shopkeeper saw that Lin Feng and the rest had arrived at the pawnshop, he did not dare to delay. He hurriedly walked out and bowed repeatedly. He asked if Lin Feng and the rest were here to pawn something. However, from the looks of it, Lin Feng and the rest did not seem to be here to pawn something.
The shopkeeper was also a person who was good at reading people's expressions. He could not help but feel puzzled. He did not know why Lin Feng and the rest were here.
At this time, Ye Shuang 'er took out the deed of the pawnshop and said, "This pawnshop is now ours."
"Ah? There's such a thing? May I have a look at the deed? " The shopkeeper was shocked and could not help but ask. He knew what kind of power was behind this pawnshop, but he had never heard of the pawnshop changing hands. Therefore, he had to check the deed to see if it was real. If it was real, then he could confirm that the pawnshop had really changed hands.
Ye Shuang 'er handed the deed to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper looked at it carefully and found that it was real. He quickly cupped his fists and said, "This lowly one, Zhang Lu, greets the owner."
"Mm."
Ye Shuang 'er nodded.
At this moment, three muscular men rushed out of the pawnshop. The leader asked, "Zhang Lu, what are you shouting about?"
This burly man was from the Bai Clan. He was in charge of guarding the pawnshop to prevent people from causing trouble. Due to the snow blocking the road, this burly man did not know that the Bai Clan had been destroyed.
These people often bullied Zhang Lu and the others. Naturally, Zhang Lu and the others hated these people. However, in order to make a living, they didn't dare to refute. Even if they were bullied, they could only swallow it. But now, the situation was different.
Now that the pawnshop had a new owner, Zhang Lu was no longer afraid of the Bai Village's people. Zhang Lu said, "This is the new owner of the pawnshop. As for the Bai Village, it has nothing to do with the pawnshop."
"What? There was such a thing? What a load of nonsense! Do you have the deed? "
The leader of the group said in a deep voice.
Ye Shuang 'er replied, "Of course there's a deed. I've already shown it to the shopkeeper. The three of you are the people in charge of this place, right? You can leave now. "
"Hmph, we want to see the deed." The leader of the group said coldly.
"You don't have the right to see it. Hurry up and leave." Ye Shuang 'er said angrily. She naturally wouldn't give the deed to the three of them. What if they tore it up? Wouldn't the shop become ownerless?
If other big powers found out about it, it would be easy for them to snatch it away.
The leader of the group sneered, "If you don't dare to show it to us, it means that the deed is fake."
Zhang Lu said, "I've already checked the deed. It's real."
Hearing Zhang Lu's words, the leader's face turned even uglier.
He didn't know what had happened, but he was unwilling to leave just like that.
But so what if he was unwilling to leave? The other party had a lot of people, and there were only three of them. Naturally, they were no match for so many people.
The three of them had embezzled a lot of good things from the pawnshop. Even if they were to leave, they should have taken those things with them.
"Let's go get some things." The leader of the group said.
Zhang Lu said, "The three of them must want to take the things that they embezzled."
When the three of them heard this, their faces suddenly changed, and a chill appeared in their eyes.
The burly man in the lead kicked at Zhang Lu.
However …
Someone was faster than them.
Ye Biao kicked the leader's leg.
Kacha kacha!
The leader's leg was immediately fractured.
The leader of the group let out a mournful cry.
Ye Biao waved his hand and said, "Damn it, how dare they embezzle the pawnshop's things. They must have eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's gall. Break their arms and legs and throw them out. Let them fend for themselves."
"Yes, Brother Biao."
After receiving Ye Biao's order, the rest of the group rushed over like wolves and tigers, and then began to surround the three of them.
After being bullied by the Bai Village for so many years, even if the Bai Village was destroyed, the Ye Village's experts still didn't feel satisfied.
Therefore, they didn't have any intention of showing mercy to the three of them.
Although the three of them were quite strong, they had fewer people.
It was difficult for two fists to fight four hands.
Therefore …
The three of them weren't a match at all. They were beaten half to death and then thrown out.
There were already many people outside who were watching the show, and in a moment, they were pointing and talking.
When opening a door to do business, one was afraid of ruining one's reputation. Therefore, Ye Shuang 'er knew that she had to go out and explain to the people who were watching the show.
Otherwise, the outsiders would think that the pawnshop had beaten up their customers. That would be terrible.
Ye Shuang 'er walked out and clasped her fists, "Everyone, we are the new owners of this pawnshop. Who would have thought that these evil servants of the previous owners would embezzle so many things from the pawnshop and even want to take them away? They are really despicable. Now, we will teach them a lesson. I hope that they will turn over a new leaf and become decent people in the future."
Hearing Ye Shuang 'er's words, coupled with the fact that she was so beautiful, it was easy for a beautiful woman to leave a good impression. Therefore, when many people looked at the three of them, they pointed and talked. Seeing the three of them in such a miserable state, they all had a gloating expression.
After that, Lin Feng accompanied Ye Shuang 'er and the rest and successfully took over the other six shops.
At this point, all seven shops were in Ye Shuang 'er's hands.
Ye Shuang 'er was obviously very happy.
Lin Feng and the rest temporarily found an inn to stay in while Ye Shuang 'er spent three days checking the accounts. After that, Lin Feng and the rest went to look for houses to buy.
There was an intermediary in Hearthstone Town. Regardless of whether one wanted to rent a house or buy a house, it could be handled by the intermediary.
Lin Feng and Ye Shuang 'er came to look at houses. As for Ye Biao and the rest, they spread out to patrol the various shops, guarding against troublemakers.
The one who received Lin Feng was a middle-aged cultivator who looked rather scholarly. Knowing that Lin Feng and the rest were here to buy a house, he was very enthusiastic. This middle-aged cultivator was called Zhang Rulin, and he enthusiastically introduced all kinds of houses to Lin Feng and the rest.
Lin Feng said, "We need a bigger house, preferably one that can accommodate four to five thousand people at the same time."
Hearing this, Zhang Rulin was very surprised. Then, he was overjoyed. It seemed that this was a big business deal. If this business was successful, the commission would be unimaginable.
He said, "There are three such houses. The first one is located in the east of the city …"
Lin Feng and Ye Shuang 'er followed Zhang Rulin to look at the three houses. Of the three houses, the smallest one was about two hundred mu. It was also the cheapest, priced at eighty thousand taels of silver. The largest one was about three hundred mu, but its location was slightly off, so it was not as expensive as expected. It was priced at one hundred thousand taels of silver.
The second largest house was about two hundred and thirty mu, and was priced at eighty-five thousand taels of silver.
Lin Feng and the rest chose the house that was about three hundred mu.
After some bargaining, Ye Shuang 'er lowered the price to ninety-seven thousand taels of silver.
Previously, when the Bai Village was exterminated, the Ye Village received the majority of the silver. However, they only received eighty thousand taels of silver. They were still short of seventeen thousand taels of silver. Hence, Ye Shuang 'er mobilized the working capital of the seven shops. Seven shops, gathering seventeen thousand taels of silver would not be a problem.
Furthermore, each shop would still have a portion of the working capital.
Hence, Ye Shuang 'er signed the contract.
After all the contracts were signed, Ye Shuang 'er received the deed to the house.
Lin Feng, Ye Shuang 'er, Ye Biao and the rest moved into the new house that night.
Nighttime.
Lin Feng sat in the courtyard, looking at the bright moon in the sky.
Ye Shuang 'er walked out and sat with Lin Feng.
She said, "Everything feels like a dream."
Lin Feng said, "It's all real."
"Brother Feng, you will leave, right?" Ye Shuang 'er turned to look at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng muttered, "I have many things to do. Hence, I cannot stay in one place for too long."
Ye Shuang 'er knew the answer she wanted. Her heart was filled with sorrow, but she knew that Lin Feng was someone who would achieve great things. Hence, she could only silently wish Lin Feng well.
"Can you hug me?" Ye Shuang 'er asked softly.
Lin Feng hesitated for a moment, then hugged Ye Shuang 'er.
… …
… …
The following days.
Lin Feng had been waiting in Hearthstone Town. He was waiting for the people behind the Bai Clan to arrive.
Lin Feng went to the house a few times, but he did not find anyone there.
Perhaps, when the house was occupied, it meant that those people had arrived.
Lin Feng sent a few experts from the Ye Clan to observe the house day and night.
About ten days later.
Lin Feng received news that a few cultivators had entered the house. When he heard this, Lin Feng's face lit up with joy.
These people had finally arrived.
… …
… …
The living room was brightly lit.
A middle-aged cultivator with a dignified aura was sitting on a chair, while four other cultivators were standing in the living room.
The middle-aged cultivator said, "Song He, go to the Bai Clan tomorrow. Tell Bai Qilong to come see me."
"Yes, sir." The cultivator called Song He quickly replied.
"There's no need to go to the Bai Clan. Bai Qilong will never come here to see you again."
At that moment, a voice came from outside.
"Who is it?"
The middle-aged man asked in a low voice.
"Someone who's very interested in your origins," said Lin Feng.
A young man walked in with a faint smile on his face.
The young man was none other than the young man.
It was Lin Feng.
