Just over ten meters from the main gate of the Internal Affairs Hall, Lin Xiaofei suddenly heard a voice behind him.
"Junior Brother Lin, don't rush off, wait for me."
Seeing that there was no one else nearby, Lin Xiaofei knew that someone was calling him, so he stopped and turned around.
A young inner disciple walked out of the inner sect hall. The young man had long, flowing hair, a smiling face, a strong physique, and an extraordinary aura. He was jogging towards him.
The young man was the inner disciple who had been arranging books on the bookshelf while he was talking to the steward.
The young man called him Junior Brother Lin, presumably because he overheard his conversation with the steward and thus learned his surname.
Seeing the young man approach, Lin Xiaofei was a little puzzled, wondering why the other man had called him over. After hesitating for a moment, he said,
"I wonder why you called me, senior brother?"
“You’re new here, so you might not know me. My name is Xiong Ying, but you can call me Senior Brother Xiong.”
As he spoke, the young man approached Lin Xiaofei and said again:
As for why I'm looking for you? Let me explain in detail.
Lin Xiaofei felt a little strange, but he still nodded and listened to what this Senior Brother Xiong had to say.
“I heard everything you said to Manager Ding. You are a genius from one of the Qingfeng Gang’s branches. You are truly a young hero. It’s something to be envied.”
I am three years older than you, but I do not have your talent. In this sect, I can only be considered an ordinary inner disciple.
My father is a hall master in the gang. He has always hoped that I would succeed in martial arts and reach the peak of the first-class level before I turn thirty. However, my martial arts talent is just average, and it is difficult for me to reach the peak of the first-class level.
However, after your conversation with Steward Ding, I feel you can help me.
Xiong Ying looked at Lin Xiaofei with a serious and sincere expression and said.
"Shall I help you?"
Lin Xiaofei was startled, but feigned a puzzled expression and said...
The man in front of him, Xiong Ying, claimed to be an ordinary inner disciple, but also said that his father was a hall master. Clearly, Xiong Ying's identity was not that of an ordinary inner disciple. Moreover, Xiong Ying immediately asked him for a favor, which made him a little wary.
"You heard me right, it's you who will help me, and you definitely can help me."
You are the number one martial arts champion in one of the Qingfeng Gang's branches. You just received the reward from the main gang, which includes a Bone Forging Pill.
If I could take a Bone Forging Pill, my martial arts aptitude would improve, allowing me to fulfill my father's hopes for me. And only you can help me with this.
As your senior brother, I'm shamelessly offering you four thousand taels of silver to make a deal: sell me your Bone Forging Pill.
"If you sell me the Bone Forging Pill, I'll take good care of you when you're on missions in the main sect, especially in the inner hall. How about it?"
As he spoke, Xiong Ying looked around and, seeing that no one was approaching, took out four silver notes worth one thousand taels from his pocket and handed them over.
Lin Xiaofei glanced at Xiong Ying, then at the silver note handed to him, but did not reach out to take it.
To others, four thousand taels of silver would indeed be a huge sum of money, a windfall. However, Lin Xiaofei was not short of money; he had more than four thousand taels of silver on him, which was enough for him to spend.
"Senior Brother Xiong, as far as I know, our sect rarely rewards its disciples with Bone Forging Pills. Moreover, this kind of pill is very precious to us martial artists."
This Bone Forging Pill is very important to me; I'm sorry, I cannot sell it to you.
Lin Xiaofei slowly shook his head and said.
He knew how precious this Bone Forging Pill was, so naturally he was unwilling to sell it to the other party.
Although he can accelerate his cultivation by consuming the herbs grown within the spatial bead, being able to take the Bone Forging Pill to improve his martial arts aptitude will make his cultivation speed even faster, and his strength will increase even more quickly, which is a good thing.
"Junior Brother Lin, as your senior brother, I'm shamelessly asking you for a favor, and I'm even offering to buy it from you with silver notes. If you sell me the Bone Forging Pill, I'll owe you a huge favor, how about it?"
Xiong Ying's expression changed slightly. She stared into Lin Xiaofei's eyes and said in a low voice.
"Senior Brother Xiong, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
Lin Xiaofei said calmly.
"you..."
Xiong Ying was furious, his eyes wide open. He hadn't expected Lin Xiaofei to completely ignore him and turn away, which made him feel extremely embarrassed and lose face.
After leaving the area of the Inner Affairs Hall, Lin Xiaofei thought of Senior Brother Xiong Ying from earlier, shook his head. He had originally planned to go to the inner disciples' residence, but now he didn't want to go anymore.
Even Senior Brother Xiong Ying wanted to buy his Bone Forging Pills. If he went to the inner disciples' residence, it would attract the attention of even more inner disciples, and then even more people would want to buy his Bone Forging Pills, which would not be a good thing.
Lin Xiaofei thought for a moment. The space bead contained a large amount of silver, so he could easily rent a large courtyard house in Canyon County and live there for twenty or thirty years without any problem.
Outside the gates of the Qingfeng Gang, there was a young man holding a small black cat in one arm and leading a horse in the other. Seeing a young man emerge from inside the Qingfeng Gang gates, he quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "
"Young Master Lin, you're finally out. Where are you going now? I'll continue to lead your horse."
"Give me the little black cat first."
As he spoke, Lin Xiaofei reached out and picked up the little black cat from the boy who was leading the way.
The person in front of him was the boy who had shown him how to get to the Qingfeng Gang. The reason the boy hadn't left yet was because he hadn't paid him for the directions.
"I'll give you the money for the directions later."
Now I need to find a place to stay. I suppose you're quite familiar with Canyon County, so why don't you find me a decent place to stay?
Looking at the setting sun on the horizon, Lin Xiaofei realized that it would be dark in two or three hours. He figured he wouldn't be able to find a decent place to stay anytime soon, so he looked at the young man leading the way and said...
An hour later, the young man who had been guiding Lin Xiaofei led him to four courtyards, and finally they found one that met Lin Xiaofei's requirements.
The courtyard is about a kilometer away from the Qingfeng Gang. The courtyard is not only spacious, but also has many scenic spots.
The courtyard is planted with various flowers and plants, including artificial rocks and a small fishpond. There is a pavilion on top of the artificial rocks for people to enjoy the fishpond.
Looking at the pavilion, he found it to be quite large, making it a suitable place for him to practice martial arts alone, with no one around to disturb him.
The courtyard was spacious and quiet, which pleased Lin Xiaofei greatly.
However, the courtyard was not cheap either; it cost a full two thousand taels of silver to purchase it.
In addition, because the courtyard covers a large area, Lin Xiaofei found a cook, two maids, and a male servant to take care of it.
