God Realm Beast Sealing House 7

"Fighting?" Xue Linchuan's back was ramrod straight, his gaze lingering on Xie Guijin's lips as he subconsciously repeated the question.

“Yes,” Xie Guijin gestured wildly, “When I was little, I loved watching martial arts movies and dreamed of roaming the world, leaping across rooftops, and settling scores with gusto. Unfortunately, I couldn’t endure the hardship of learning martial arts. Even if I had learned, I couldn’t be like the ones on TV. But now we’re immortals, so fighting should be even more exciting.”

Xue Linchuan regained some of his composure and asked doubtfully, "Martial arts film? Television?"

"Oh, those things aren't important," Xie Guijin waved her hand and said, "What's important is that I can now realize my childhood dream. Would you be willing to help me achieve it?"

"Of course," Xue Linchuan replied without hesitation.

Xie Guijin happily led Xue Linchuan to a plot of land in the back mountain.

The two first set up two barriers, each familiarizing themselves with how to cast spells and understand their power within their own barriers. Once they had practiced enough, they merged the two barriers into one and had a good, unrestrained battle inside.

Before the fight, Xie Guijin warned, "Don't hold back!"

“Okay,” Xue Linchuan solemnly agreed.

The two fought from nightfall until dawn before finally stopping.

Xie Guijin chattered like a cheerful lark, "It's so great to be an immortal! We fought for so long and had such a good time, and we didn't even hurt any of the flowers or plants. The magic of immortals is amazing."

She talked non-stop, beaming with excitement, while Xue Linchuan listened with a smile, occasionally offering a few words of agreement.

The two returned to the villa, pretending to have just woken up, and were still served by servants to wash up.

Now that they are immortals, they don't need to sleep, and they feel no discomfort even after a sleepless night.

Xie Guijin slept before to relax her mind and body, to deliberately soothe her tense nerves, and simply out of human instinct.

The sycophants who came yesterday arrived early to pay their respects to Xie Guijin, and without permission, they all waited outside the courtyard gate.

Xie Guijin spat out the mouthwash and instructed the servants, "I won't see them today. Tell them to do as they please."

After dressing up, Xie Guijin went to find Xue Linchuan for breakfast and saw the group of people leaving Xue Linchuan's courtyard in twos and threes from afar.

"They're paying their respects to me first, then to Xue Linchuan," Xie Guijin muttered to herself.

Upon meeting Xue Linchuan, the two sat facing each other for breakfast. Xie Guijin then said, "It's strange. We are siblings, and there is a proper order of seniority. They are also educated, so why do they greet me first?"

“Because they know that you are their true master,” Xue Linchuan said, placing a piece of mung bean crystal cake in the small dish in front of Xie Guijin.

"Oh," Xie Guijin was drawn to the mung bean cake and stopped thinking about what the men had done.

Xue Linchuan's eyes darkened. He knew in his heart that throughout history, there had been countless people who wanted to cross social classes through marriage or romantic relationships.

Did those men really just want the reward money? They knew they couldn't marry a noblewoman because of their social standing, but what if they encountered a rich young lady obsessed with romance novels who wouldn't marry anyone but them?

Or perhaps they think that even a fleeting romance, or even just a meeting based on shared interests, is enough to trick Xie Guijin into giving them a little something to live a life of wealth and rise to prominence?

If they really think that way, what will they do next? Seduc them?

Xie Guijin ate with great relish, while Xue Linchuan couldn't eat a thing.

After finishing their meal, the two of them led their horses out.

When they reached a secluded spot, the two transformed into father and daughter, rode horses through the air and mist to the outskirts of Cixi Town, dismounted, and entered the town.

Holding the reins, Xie Guijin whispered to Xue Linchuan, "Last night was really fun. Let's go again today, since we don't need to sleep anyway."

Xue Linchuan nodded in agreement.

Originally, the system, which had been determined to ignore Xie Guijin for a day after she woke up early and started talking, couldn't help but act cheekily and said, "Host, you don't need to eat now, but you've already eaten so many meals. Are you a pig? Are you just waiting to be fat and slaughtered?"

“There’s no cooldown period for muting your microphone,” Xie Guijin said with a blank face. “Why don’t you just turn it off again?”

"Hmph, all you do is bully me." The system snorted.

Looking at the people around her struggling for a living, Xie Guijin felt a sense of shared fate and shared hardship. She said to the system, the indirect exploiter, with a hint of annoyance, "I bully you? Fine, I'll bully you then. It's only because you're too weak."

The system snapped, "Where am I weak?"

“How long has it been since you agreed to take charge of luring Taotie? You haven’t even come up with a preliminary feasible plan,” Xie Guijin strode forward, head held high and chest puffed out proudly. “I’m going to reap the first wave of victory. If I’m lucky, maybe Qiongqi has already been sealed away by the magic I left behind.”

The system was speechless, turned its back, and scratched its head: "Think quickly, how do we see the real Peach Blossom Spring? Where is the real Peach Blossom Spring?"

The world is bustling, all for profit. The world is in turmoil, all for gain.

Although these words were spoken by humans, they are applicable to all six realms.

The system is inflexible and insists on creating a harmonious paradise to lure the Taotie there. This paradise also needs to include the buying and selling of houses, which is making things incredibly difficult for it.

Xie Guijin and Xue Linchuan discussed that instead of going to the government office, they should first go to Taipingfang to check the accommodation situation and see if there were any traces of Qiongqi before discussing anything else.

To their surprise, as soon as they stepped into Taipingfang, they found that compared to the hustle and bustle of the street, the neighborhood lacked a lively atmosphere and instead had a strange feel to it.

The two looked at each other, both seeing unease in each other's eyes.

After stroking the restless horse, the two cautiously ventured deeper into the workshop.

Not far away, you can see two neighboring houses with funeral banners hanging outside.

These two houses were the two people who bought them for the kind people in the town to live in.

Xue Linchuan, who had previously impersonated his father, claimed that during the flood years ago, he, as an orphan, fell into the water and was rescued by people who risked their lives. They also gave him clothes and food, allowing him to survive.

Now that he has made some money doing business outside, he brought his daughter back to his hometown to give back to the townspeople. He has spent a lot of money to buy most of the houses in Taipingfang in the town and wants the person who saved him back then to live there.

Because he was away from home for many years, he wanted to transfer the house directly to avoid future disputes, so he only accepted six coins as payment to comply with the government's deed transfer regulations.

There was no one who actually saved him, but many people did fall into the water and were rescued during the flood.

Xie Guijin and Xue Linchuan disguised themselves as ordinary people, conducted on-site visits, and used magic to finally identify the truly kind and honest people in the town. They bought houses for each person and lied that these people were the ones who saved him, which led to what happened later.

With the government's help these past two days, it's no surprise that the townspeople are willing to move in.

But why did someone die so soon after they moved in?

Xie Guijin pondered in her heart that both households had elderly people. Could it be that the two elderly people passed away at almost the same time? What a coincidence!

As she was thinking, Xue Linchuan grabbed her arm.

Looking up, she saw Xue Linchuan's face was tense, and he said to her in a low voice, "One funeral banner is black, and the other is blue."

Seeing Xie Guijin's confusion, Xue Linchuan further explained, "A white banner is used for a normal death, while a black or blue banner is used only for a violent death."

"Qiongqi killed them?" Xie Guijin blurted out, then added, "No, if Qiongqi had come, he would have been sealed by the spell I set up, and it would have been impossible for him to have killed anyone."

Xie Guijin and Xue Linchuan tied the increasingly restless horse to a tree trunk nearby.

The two walked toward the two houses.

As soon as I approached the outer gate of the house, I was recognized by people coming in and out.

Someone shouted, "They're here!"

A group of people dressed in mourning clothes ran out of the two houses and surrounded the two of them. They all had ferocious faces and shouted that they would make the father and daughter pay with their lives.

The two men were puzzled. When they invited these townspeople to their house, they all declined, speaking earnestly and with utmost sincerity.

Xie Guijin and Xue Linchuan asked the townspeople, "Please calm down, what exactly happened?"

No one paid them any attention, and they even had to be grabbed.

Just as things were getting out of hand, some constables arrived, dispersed the crowd, and rescued Xie Guijin and the other person.

Looking disheveled, Xie and Xue thanked the yamen runner.

Xie Guijin stepped forward and presented the silver coins to the leader with both hands, saying, "Sirs, you saved my father and me. This is just a small token of our appreciation. Please do not refuse."

The yamen runner took the money and said, "You've come back just in time. The magistrate was just about to send someone to you."

"May I ask, sir, what exactly happened? Why do they want my father and me to pay with our lives?" Xie Guijin asked, bowing respectfully.

"Sigh, it's a long story. The old man of the family that hung the black banner was angered to death by the grandson of the family that hung the green banner." The constable said with a drooping mouth, gripping the hilt of his knife, "The grandson of the family that hung the green banner was beaten to death by the family that hung the black banner. The ones who did it are in jail now."

Xie Guijin and Xue Linchuan were stunned upon hearing this.

The constable looked at them with sympathy and said, "Now both families feel that if you hadn't sold them the house, none of this would have happened. You are the real culprits."

Xie Guijin opened and closed her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Xue Linchuan held Xie Guijin's hand, turned his head and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid."

The bailiff sighed again and led the two men to the yamen to see the county magistrate.

The county magistrate, sporting dark circles under his eyes, exchanged bewildered glances with Xie and Xue.

After a long pause, the magistrate spoke hesitantly, "I am ashamed to say that I have failed to live up to your expectations."

"My lord, please don't say that, it makes my daughter and I uneasy," Xue Linchuan said, cupping his hands. "May I ask, my lord, what caused this bloodshed?"

The magistrate asked Xie and Xue to sit down, casually licked his dry lips, pointed to a yamen runner, and ordered him to explain in detail.

Two days ago, Xie and Xue asked the officials to persuade the townspeople to accept their gratitude and move into the houses in Taipingfang. This was what they deserved for their past good deeds and could not be considered as taking advantage of someone else's kindness.

When the government intervenes, the people naturally obey.

Since Xie and Xue had made their prior agreement, the government did not wait for them to return and took it upon themselves to have those families relocate together the next morning, which was yesterday morning, and even held a proper relocation ceremony.

The government paid for firecrackers, and students from the county school were required to attend the ceremony. Many ordinary people also came to watch the spectacle on their own.

The county magistrate spoke on the spot, and a respected elder from those families also said a few words.
