The next day, Chen Xiao and Du Rong moved out of the inn.
There are many people and houses in Hanshan City. The central area of the city is close to the lake. The rent here is divided into two extremes, the cheap ones are very cheap, and the expensive ones are very expensive. This is because the cheap ones are rented to ordinary people, and the expensive ones are rented to practitioners.
To some extent, Hanshan City is somewhat like an international metropolis in the previous life. There are many people who are truly rooted here, born and raised here, but there are more people coming and going, and the mobility is too strong. Especially those practitioners, most of them are short-term rentals. They just stay in Hanshan City to rest and wait for suitable teammates to enter the vast mountains outside Hanshan City to train.
The houses specially rented to practitioners here are usually large houses with large yards and many rooms. Ordinary families do not have so many people and do not need such a large yard, so they are relatively poor in conditions and small houses. Chen Xiao thought about it and felt that they did not need to rent in the central city. The practitioners who live here want to go to the commercial area by the lake to buy and sell things, and it is also easy to find fellow practitioners. But they do not have such needs.
So they found a small apartment with a small yard and four or five rooms in a residential area at the foot of the mountain, far away from the city center, and lived there. Halfway up the mountain behind this house was the teleportation vortex gate guarded by Zhishitang. It was a good place that was not out of the circle of the immortal cultivation world, but was a certain distance away from them.
Maybe a lone practitioner had rented it before, so the house was very well equipped. You didn't need to prepare anything, you could just move in with your luggage.
In order to facilitate Chen Xiao's travel, Du Rong hired a coachman. After settling in, Du Rong took a carriage to Wang's house and handed in a note, informing Boss Wang of his current address.
The Wang family now has great faith in Chen Xiao. It is rare to have such an intersection with a cultivator, and a child of a noble family, which makes the Wang family's children extremely excited. The elders know that the difference between immortals and mortals has a strict hierarchy, which ordinary mortals have no ability to shake, and they are more or less in awe of Chen Xiao. However, the young children do not know the immensity of the world, and they call their friends to show off the changes in their family.
These young people have similar family backgrounds, and most of their parents are wealthy businessmen in Hanshan City. They are bold and frivolous, and are very curious about the cold and mysterious Chen Xiao. They came here under the pretext of asking him to take a look because there was something wrong with their house. Fortunately, Du Rong had discussed the response with Chen Xiao before, and he came out to entertain the guests. Du Rong's cold and hard face, with a murderous aura all over his body, directly scared away these young people who were looking for trouble.
Although they failed, the thrilling experience made the teenagers very excited. After returning home, they couldn't help but share their adventure with their relatives. When the elders heard that they had provoked the practitioners, they naturally scolded them. After scolding them and asking why, they couldn't help but have ideas.
The younger generations did not know the seriousness of the matter, nor did they know what it meant to be able to talk to and establish a relationship with the children of aristocratic families through this matter. However, the elders understood.
The practitioners in Hanshan City have a lot of contact with ordinary people, which makes them more yearning for cultivation. The schools in Hanshan City are larger and have more powerful teachers. The children in Hanshan City have more opportunities to succeed in cultivation, and they may be chosen by a passing immortal master to be his apprentice.
But everything has its pros and cons. There are good and bad practitioners, and there is no guarantee for the future of children. Moreover, because the population is larger, the competition is more intense and cruel. The powerful families in Hanshan City have many relatives and can directly select qualified children for training. They will not favor the students in these schools. Unless they are the kind of outstanding talents, especially geniuses.
In some ways, the students in Hanshan City are worse than those in Fan Village. At least the teenagers in Fan Village have a chance to participate in the selection of disciples for the immortal sect after waiting for a few years. The entire territory of Hanshan City belongs to the family of the city lord Han Yuanchun. A powerful dragon will not suppress a local snake. Immortal sects with scale and prestige will never go to the territory of the owner to plunder disciples, which will cause the two sides to become enemies.
Because of these reasons, wealthy and well-connected families would try every means to establish relationships with the children of the noble families, so that they could get their own children to study and practice with the children of the vassal families.
How can one not be excited when a shortcut to Zhongnan appears before one's eyes? These people don't know that Chen Xiao is a child of a noble family who is not valued and can only venture out to make a living. But even if they knew, they would not give up. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if he is not valued, he still has the status to interact with people of the same class and have the opportunity to open up the connections. Spending money is not a problem, the most frightening thing is to have money but no way out!
Therefore, because of this not-so-simple thought, Chen Xiao's door suddenly became lively. Chen Xiao still felt a little strange. He thought that just based on the case of the Wang family, the effect was not particularly outstanding, and the impact would be slow.
Chen Xiao stayed in the room and Du Rong was the only one who showed up. Although he was not the real boss, the boss's identity as a master made the boss dare not take it lightly.
These people came with large sums of money - they had inquired about the rewards offered by Boss Wang and used them as a reference, begging Chen Xiao to come and see their houses. Du Rong was confused by their eagerness. He carefully rejected the large sums of money that frightened him, and just registered the other party's name one by one and sent them back.
Even the disguised form of giving money cannot be given away. Only the children of aristocratic families can be so indifferent. These people had such thoughts in their minds and left with emotion.
After all the people left and the gate was closed, Du Rongcai held the list and hurried to Chen Xiao's room with a messy step. "Boss, look, there are so many people here at once." He said to Chen Xiao, who was still calm and reading, "Let everyone know that I can give them their rewards first."
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows, took the list from Du Rong, and read it carefully. The list only roughly listed the addresses of these people, their identities, and what businesses they were engaged in. It was just short of telling the two people that they were very rich.
Chen Xiao looked at the list for a long time before he smiled softly: "Uncle Rong, these people have ulterior motives. I'm afraid they are just looking at the house, and they are really giving money." Du Rong said puzzledly: "Is there such a good thing in the world?"
Chen Xiao shook his head: "No. They came here for the status of aristocratic family, they just want a ladder to heaven."
Du Rong understood immediately after hearing this. He was a little bit unbelieving: "These people want to get in touch with the immortal cultivation family through the relationship of the host? But, host, you are just..." They are just impersonating others, not real descendants of the family.
Chen Xiao exhaled slowly: "You know, I know too. But these people don't know."
The room was quiet for a while before Chen Xiao came to his senses: "Uncle Rong, please sit down and talk. There are no outsiders here, so it will be more comfortable for you and me to get along with each other."
Du Rong was somewhat shocked by Chen Xiao's mention. His attitude towards Chen Xiao had changed slightly recently. In the past, he just followed his duties and maintained an employer-subordinate relationship with Chen Xiao. But now, he really believed in him. He respected this young employer more and more. It became a matter of course for him to answer the other party while standing.
Du Rong couldn't help but sigh inwardly, the young are formidable. He sat down on the left side of Chen Xiao and asked, "Boss, what should we do next?"
Chen Xiao shook his head: "Free money is very hot, don't touch it."
He was just pretending to be so impressive, and he was only trying to gain other people's preconceived impressions. Even if he was exposed in the future, others would not be able to do anything to him, after all, this identity was not his own. He was just flaunting the name of a noble family, and if he really accepted the money, it would be a scam. Chen Xiao would never allow the identity of a Feng Shui master to be tarnished in any way when he was building a reputation in the new world.
Du Rong frowned: "So these people all refused?"
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Don't do such a thing as throwing the baby out with the bathwater. It's possible that some of them really need to adjust the house." Although he said this, he knew in his heart that in the early days, these people who came to the door were all drunkards with ulterior motives. But what does it matter? It didn't stop him from deliberately treating them like this.
Chen Xiao said to Du Rong, "Uncle Rong, please work hard for the next two days. Go find out about these people's situations and pick out those who are not in urgent need of establishing a relationship with the aristocratic families. Then we will visit them one by one."
Instead of avoiding them and making them feel strange, it is better to treat them as real customers and seriously look at the house and do Feng Shui. When they see the real effect, their thoughts of building relationships will fade away and they will really pay attention to Chen Xiao's own talents.
Du Rong strictly followed Chen Xiao's request and arranged a sequence. Chen Xiao started with families who had no school children recently, and went door to door one by one. He was noble and cold, and ignored the flattery and hospitality of these people. In addition to the reward, he would not accept any other gifts.
At first, these people were frustrated and felt annoyed. But when they found that this noble family's son meticulously and professionally prepared the house for them, they felt a little ashamed of their ill intentions.
Soon after, when they discovered the true miraculous effect of this house technique, they suddenly realized that their actions were putting the cart before the horse. They actually missed the opportunity to make friends with a strange person! At this time, if they simply invited the other party to be their guest, they would never see him.
So many people were beating their chests and stamping their feet in regret at the same time, which immediately aroused the curiosity and attention of others. No matter if they needed him or not, they all came to ask for him. However, Chen Xiao was reserved, as he could not invite anyone. However, because of this, his reputation became even greater, and he was in great demand.
