The Old Bandit looked at Li Cheng and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll help you this time. In fact, I still have a property in the Eighth Alley. I left this property to Little Yi. If one day I'm too old to move, then Little Yi can move to the Eighth Alley. At the very least, he won't have to worry about being bullied there. Since this house is so useful to you, then I'll give it to you."
When Li Cheng heard the Old Bandit, he couldn't help but stare. Then he immediately shook his head and said, "No, Uncle Bandit. I can't take your house. It's yours, I can't take it."
The old bandit looked at Li Cheng and said in a deep voice, "I didn't give you that property for free. I have a request. If one day I'm no longer here and you're still alive, or if your Four Righteous Gang still exists, I want you and your gang to protect Little Yi and ensure his safety. Also, you can't force Little Yi to join the Four Righteous Gang unless he's willing."
When Li Cheng heard the Old Bandit, he couldn't help but stare. Then he looked at the Old Bandit and nodded, "Alright, Uncle Bandit. I'll remember your words. As long as I, Li Cheng, am still alive, then as long as the Four Righteous Gang exists, we will definitely protect Little Yi's safety. If Little Yi isn't willing, then we won't force him to join the Four Righteous Gang. Uncle Bandit can rest assured."
The Old Bandit nodded. Then he waved his hand as a piece of paper appeared in the Old Bandit's hand. The Old Bandit handed the paper to Li Cheng before he turned around and left.
Li Cheng received the paper from the Old Bandit. After looking at the address, he couldn't help but stare. The address that the Old Bandit gave Li Cheng was a good house in the Eighth Alley. Li Cheng had seen this house before. It was just an ordinary house, but its location was very good. It was very suitable for doing business. Li Cheng originally wanted to buy this house, but then he discovered a jade token hanging outside. This meant that the owner was in seclusion. Naturally, Li Cheng didn't want to disturb the owner, so this matter was left unsettled.
He didn't expect that the house would be handed over to him in such a way. Li Cheng was really happy. At the same time, he was also grateful to the old robber.
He didn't know the old bandit's real name. In fact, there were a lot of old people who lived in Stone Drum Alley. Their names had long been forgotten. What they had now was just a code name.
The Old Bandit's nickname was actually because of his appearance. The Old Bandit's appearance was too terrifying. Originally, with his cultivation level, this kind of injury should have been healed a long time ago. However, it was clear that the person who injured him back then wasn't a weakling. Because of this, his injury couldn't be healed. Although it was healed in the end, his meridians were completely destroyed, leaving behind a terrifying scar.
It was precisely because of his appearance that he was given the name Old Bandit. However, people who knew him knew that he was a person with a hard face and a soft heart. He was very strong, but his heart was very soft.
When Li Cheng lived in Stone Drum Alley, he lived in the Returning Inn. Because of this, he was very familiar with the place. His relationship with the old bandit was also very good. However, he didn't expect that one day, the old bandit would give him such a good house.
However, Li Cheng also knew that he couldn't thank the old bandit with words. If he wanted to repay the old bandit, then he just needed to prove it with his actions in the future.
After thinking about this, Li Cheng immediately received the deed. Then he turned his head to the others and said, "Alright, now that we have a house, let's go and renovate it. Let's go."
The others were also very happy, they immediately followed Li Cheng outside. Before long, the group arrived at the Eighth Alley and found the house. Although it was an ordinary house, the area it occupied wasn't small. There were two large courtyards in the front and back. In the middle, there were three houses, one main house, as well as the left and right side rooms.
When Li Cheng and the others arrived at the courtyard, they looked around. The courtyard was very good, and the area was big enough. Li Cheng immediately said to the others, "You should immediately leave the city and collect more stones and wood. We need to build a shop in front of the house to do business. I'll go to Eight Fantasy City to report. If we don't report, then we won't be able to open our shop."
The others immediately complied, then they turned around and left. Li Cheng also turned around and left the courtyard, heading straight towards Eight Fantasy City.
Eight Fantasy City was located in the center of the Eighth Alley. It was a city within a city. To be exact, it was a castle-like building. It looked very beautiful from the outside, but very few people knew what it looked like inside. This was because very few people could enter Eight Fantasy City.
Although there was no moat outside Eight Fantasy City, there was still a city wall. There was also a row of houses outside the city wall. This row of houses was the place where Eight Fantasy City worked. If people had any problems in the Eighth Alley, then they could report here. Eight Fantasy City would come out and deal with it.
Li Cheng had been in Full Moon City for a long time, so he naturally knew the situation in Eight Fantasy City. Therefore, he familiarly went to the row of houses and looked around. He found that there were no obvious hints outside the row of houses, so he didn't look at it anymore and directly entered a room.
This room had a very long bar. Behind the bar were five Cultivators. These Cultivators were wearing ordinary grey Cultivator robes. They weren't very strong, and they didn't have any arrogant expressions on their faces.
Li Cheng didn't dare to be negligent. He immediately bowed to the Cultivators and said, "Hello, I'm the owner of Courtyard 57. I want to open a restaurant in Courtyard 57. Is that okay?"
One of the Cultivators looked at Li Cheng and smiled, "Mister, please come here to talk. I remember that the 57th Jia Street belongs to an old mister, right? How did it become yours? "
Li Cheng smiled and said, "It was given to me by that old man. I have some friendship with that old man and want to do business in Full Moon City. But there aren't many places in Full Moon City where people can safely do business. The Eighth Alley is the most suitable place, so I want to do business here. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a house before. Later on, my uncle gave me his house, Courtyard 57. But that house is only suitable for people to live in. If I want to build a restaurant, then it needs to be renovated, so I want to come here to report."
The Cultivator nodded and said, "So it's like that. You can do business in that house, but you should also know that doing business in Full Moon City is the same as establishing a force. You have to hand over 10,000 Jade Essences to Eight Fantasy City every year. We won't care what you do in Courtyard 57. But even if you want to develop your own force, the number of people in your force can't exceed 100. At the very least, you can't have 100 people in Courtyard 57. Do you understand?"
Li Cheng immediately said, "Yes, I understand. Mister can rest assured, I won't mess around with him."
The Cultivator nodded, then he said, "Very good, as long as you understand. As long as you do business here and don't cause trouble, we won't care about you. But if you dare to take the initiative to attack others and we find out, we won't let you off easily."
Li Cheng quickly said, "Mister can rest assured, I won't. To be honest, I'm indeed establishing a force. Everyone should know that without a force in Full Moon City, it's impossible to survive. But we just want to guard our own property and don't want to cause trouble. Please don't worry."
The Cultivator nodded and said, "It's good that you know. Hand over 10,000 Jade Essences now and hand it over at this time tomorrow. If someone causes trouble for you this year, you can report it to us and we'll help you solve it."
Li Cheng nodded, then he took out a spatial bag and handed it over to the Cultivator and said, "This is 10,000 Jade Essences. Mister, please accept it."
The Cultivator took the spatial bag and used his spiritual force to explore it. Then he nodded and took out a jade token and gave it to Li Cheng and said, "Take this jade token. If someone from Eight Fantasy City comes looking for you, you can show them the jade token." Li Cheng nodded. The Cultivator waved his hand, then Li Cheng turned around and left.
When he returned to the courtyard, he found that the others hadn't returned yet. Li Cheng looked around and recalled the restaurant that Zhao Hai asked him to build. Then he began to dismantle the walls on one side of the courtyard and used magic to dig the foundation. He was a Teleportation Realm Cultivator, so it didn't take long for the foundation to be dug. At this time, the others also came back. When they saw the foundation, they immediately understood what Li Cheng meant. It seems like building the restaurant wouldn't be a problem. These people were very happy. One of them immediately commanded everyone to start building the restaurant.
The person who commanded everyone to build the restaurant was called Wu Yun. He was also a Teleportation Realm Cultivator. Naturally, he was chosen by Zhao Hai not only because he was reliable, but also because he was a good architect. In fact, the ten people selected by Zhao Hai all had their own strengths. Wu Yun was an architect. Among these people, there was also an Alchemist, an Artifact Refiner, and someone who was proficient in formations. Although these things weren't the best in the Four Righteous Gang, they could still be used here.
The speed at which Cultivators built their houses was very fast. However, the houses built by Li Yun and the others were still a bit troublesome. Before Wu Yun came to Moongazing Planet, he received instructions from Zhao Hai that the houses they built must have a set of formations. Because of this, the speed at which they built the house wasn't very fast. After a day, they had only just finished laying the foundation.
At night, Li Yun and the others returned to the hotel to rest. Li Yun wanted to invite the Old Bandit for a drink to thank him. However, the Old Bandit didn't agree. Although Li Yun was disappointed, he couldn't say anything.
The next day, Li Yun and the others arrived at the 57th courtyard. In just one day, a three-story building had already risen from the ground. Moreover, it was built very beautifully.
