408 Celebrating the Relocation of the New Residence
Kobayashi was taken aback and blurted out, "This house...it's for us? Isn't it rented?"
The others also got off the carriage and began to look around. Looking at the surrounding environment, they suddenly felt that the human world was not a place at all.
Hearing the conversation between the three and Xiao Linzi's loud question, everyone's eyes immediately turned to them. Their eyes were filled with disbelief and anticipation.
Old Man Weng's face was beaming with a smile, though he also showed a hint of surprise. He then confirmed, "Yes, everyone, the houses here will be allocated according to your families, one house per person. This was specially instructed by Madam, and it's also a surprise she wants for you all."
Houses here aren't cheap these days. Plus, sales are now restricted, so some need to be reserved. And not everyone can buy them.
Upon hearing the affirmative reply, Kobayashi stood there dumbfounded, his mouth agape, as if he had forgotten he even had a mouth.
The others were also stunned, forgetting to breathe, unable to believe it.
"Ouch!" a man involuntarily exclaimed. A young woman gently pinched her husband beside her with two fingers, whispering, "It really isn't a dream."
Xiao Lin slowly came to her senses, took Old Weng's hand, and asked again, "Old Weng, is it true? Is it true?"
"It's true. My husband was right next to Madam just now, along with several other ladies."
This is what the lady has given to you all.
As for the allocation of these houses, you can discuss it among yourselves, register it, and these will be your houses.
"I have a house! I have a big house!" Xiaolin exclaimed excitedly, dancing with joy.
"I can get married now, I can get married now," Xiao Lin rambled on.
Uncle Lin didn't disturb them, nor did Old Man Weng; they watched quietly as the surroundings became lively.
"Really, this really is our house. Thank you, Ancestor, thank you, Ancestor."
The others, regaining their senses, beamed with joy. "Thank you, Ancestor!" they exclaimed.
As the carriage slowly drove away, Han Linling said softly to He Chen and the others, "This is Yue Zhanyi, a disciple of my sect. His skills are quite good."
Then, leading the blacksmith Yue, he slowly introduced, "This is He Chen, the city lord of this place."
Master Blacksmith Yue immediately said respectfully, "Greetings, Grandmaster."
He Chen didn't react for a moment, while Yun Su, Yun Qing, and the others chuckled.
Wes and Yun Heiyi didn't react for a moment either, but it seemed there was no problem.
He Chen nodded slightly.
Han Linling looked slightly embarrassed and said softly, "From now on, call me City Lord or Lord He, not Ancestral Master."
Yue Zhanyi quickly agreed, saying that when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Although he hadn't done anything wrong, he couldn't argue with the local customs.
He then paid his respects to several ladies.
"General Yun, the city garrison commander, please lend us your assistance in the future." After Yue Zhanyi and He Chen left, the remaining three began to chat.
Wes chuckled softly, "I'll be troubling Master Yue again in the future. Jin Luo and Jin Feng should be returning soon; let's get to know them later. We've prepared a feast for you today to welcome you back."
"In that case, thank you very much, Guardian of the city." Yue Zhanyi clasped his hands in thanks. "You've all gone to so much trouble. Once things have settled down in a few days, I'll invite you all for a get-together."
Yun Heiyi smiled and said, "No problem, we're all close by here, and there's plenty of time ahead. I'll have Zhang Dazhuang come along later; Dazhuang loves making friends."
The man in white was also called over, as was Old Man Weng; everyone gathered together.
After thinking for a moment, Wes said softly, "Okay, I'll have Uncle Bai, Sister Hong, and the village chiefs from the nearby villages come too. We'll have two or three tables so everyone can get to know each other. If anyone needs anything, it'll be easier for these villages to contact you in the future."
Yue Zhanyi bowed and said, "Thank you both, sirs."
Wes and Yun, dressed in black, quickly helped him up. Wes laughed heartily, "Master Yue, you're too kind. We'll be troubling you many times in the future."
Yue Zhanyi smiled and said, "Definitely, definitely. If it's within my ability, I certainly won't refuse."
Yue Zhanyi asked in a low voice, "I wonder if there's anything I should be careful about here?"
Wes and Yun Heiyi exchanged a smile. Wes said with a smile, "The security here is under our management. There are no gangs or thugs. If there is anything, you can talk to us or Inspector Jinluo."
There's nothing else, but all shops are required to pay 30% tax, as stipulated by the adults. Any other requirements will need to be confirmed by the adults.
Also, several ladies were busy today and couldn't come. We'll introduce them to Master Yue next time we have the chance.
"It was my petty mind to ask the city guards for clarification; please forgive me, sir," Yue Zhanyi said somewhat awkwardly.
"Haha," Yun Heiyi said nonchalantly, "It's normal for Master Yue to have this idea. This place has only recently been developed, so it's normal for many people not to be familiar with it."
"Black-clad General!" A loud voice rang out, and Zhang Dazhuang, Jin Luo, Jin Feng, and Yun Baiyi walked out from inside.
Yun, dressed in black, smiled and said, "Master Yue, please, they're here. Let's go together."
'Okay, together, together.'
At the new mansion, everyone was busy. In the backyard, within the Heaven-Shielding Formation, Wanqing and Rourou were checking on the Dragon Blood Rice and the Spirit Wheat, which were growing very well.
Wan Qing gazed at the beautiful Dragon Blood Rice with great delight, and also at the Dragon Heart Fruit, and the crystal-clear, magical spring. However, its growth was much slower, and no changes were noticeable.
There are also five adorable little creatures, which is quite magical. They love this place very much, but sometimes one or two of them will disappear, only to return after a while.
There was a large nest on the bamboo, but it was used to store bees. The family of five built a large house on the bamboo, which was like a small house.
They rest inside, which is quite peculiar.
The five spirit bees also knew about the Dragon Heart Fruit and often circled around the Dragon Heart Fruit tree, circling it several times a day, as if hoping that the tree would grow up quickly.
Having become familiar with Rou Rou and Wan Qing, and with the friendly and natural aura emanating from the two women, she was well-liked by the five little cuties, who often hovered around the two of them and frequently tried to help.
"Sister Rou Rou, the honey inside is already stored. Sister, take out half and taste it, it tastes delicious!" A little cutie flew over gently, so lively.
The other two followed quietly behind, keeping a distance but getting closer, looking rather shy.
"Okay, what do you want? I'll bring you some." Rou Rou and Wan Qing smiled at the most lively little guy and held out their hands.
