Chapter 379: Buying a House
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
After the small incident, the people whom Lu Jian called came to the Fan Family Residence very quickly. For cultivators, working overtime was not a problem at all and naturally there were several of them who were working midnight shift.
Old Master Fan dismissed everyone and didn’t let them talked about it.
"Why didn’t you let them play the drama first, Big Brother?" Lin Yun was more curious about it.
Lin Xiao glanced at his younger brother before he shook his head. "It’ll just be a waste of time. Besides, who’s in the mood to watch a performance in the middle of the night? I still want to rest and not complain with them again."
"But..." Lin Yun felt that it would be a waste of their acting skill to not even have a chance to perform as Lin Xiao cut off their words and rushed for the result.
"I’m not here to play a game with Fan Family but to see their stances. Anyway, since your little wife is choosing you, I’ll think of a way to deal with that pair of brothers."
"Alright."
Lin Yun didn’t know what Lin Xiao was planning but he believed in his brother.
The rest of the night was peaceful. When they all have breakfast together, it was clear that Fan Pei’s expression was not good but he still forced himself to attend the breakfast together with the others.
His brother was in Sun Dragon Academy and will not be able to help him settle the matter in his residence.
"I’ll be going out for a bit." Lin Xiao could see that the Old Master Fan would be cooking up another drama and choose to flee. He had been forced to watch the drama of him and Fan Ling before with Lin Yun. Naturally, he had no intention of watching another drama unfolded before him.
Lin Yun and Lu Jian followed him while Old Master Fan called his granddaughter. "Little Ling, about last night..."
"It’s alright, Grandpa. We’ll be able to settle the problems by ourselves." Fan Ling smiled then she waved her hand. "I’ll be following Lin Yun and the others. I might return late later, Grandpa."
Seeing his granddaughter left, Old Master Fan could only sigh.
The four of them walked to the street and Fan Ling looked at Lin Xiao guiltily. "Grandpa really like to orchestra a drama and can be a bit infuriating at times. Please don’t take it to heart, Master."
"You don’t have to call me that way..." Lin Xiao felt uncomfortable to see the unruly girl called him that way. Not to mention, if Lin Yun and Fan Ling did end up together, he would be her brother, no?
"Then."
"Call be Brother Xiao!"
"Brother!"
Fan Ling was stunned then laughed. "Yes, Brother Xiao."
Lin Yun resisted the urge to kick his own brother when he saw the smug smile on Lin Xiao’s face. His brother was taking advantage of him!
"Also, I have seen his ability to create drama but unfortunately, I don’t have any intention to play along with him." Lin Xiao shrugged. He had seen a lot of people back in the village would create drama just to gain attention and because they loved to see everyone acting in accordance to the way they wanted.
It can be fun.
But for him, it was simply tiring. Rather than being forced to watch such soap opera, he would rather spend his time doing something else.
"It’s alright, I’ll stop him from the unnecessary one." Fan Ling nodded.
"Why are we going out today?" Lu Jian asked.
Lin Xiao took out his Communication Jade. It was shining slightly, the indication that someone was calling him. "Yes, Xiao Hua?"
"I’m outside the academy. Where are you?"
"I’ll pick you up."
"Ok."
Seeing Lin Xiao answering the call smoothly, Lu Jian was speechless. Fine, so the great Lin Xiao was picking up his wife...
The group returned back to the academy and saw Princess Lan Yi Hua standing there gracefully. She was waiting while slightly leaning her back to the wall behind her but it was clear that she was not relaxed as she looked like. If there was an enemy approaching her, she would make her move instantly.
"Xiao Hua!" Lin Xiao waved his hand.
Princess Lan Yi Hua raised her head. Her lips pursed. "I’m just cultivating for a few days and now you’re missing?"
"Well, I’m trying to get to know Lu Jian and Fan Ling’s family better. Anyway, now that you’re already out of seclusion, come accompany me to pick a house."
"Pick a house?" Princess Lan Yi Hua blinked her eyes in astonishment. Afterwards, she looked at Lin Xiao suspiciously. "Do you even have enough money to buy a house?"
"That’s..."
Now that Lin Xiao thought about it... how much was a house’s price? He didn’t know and naturally turned to look at Lu Jian for help.
Lu Jian resisted the urge to scowl at Lin Xiao. He sighed. "Houses in the capital city are expensive. They’re at least several hundred thousands of Low Grade Spirit Stones."
Several hundred thousands of Low Grade Spirit Stones?
Lin Xiao felt his back turned cold as he calculated his earnings. With Prince Lin Yan’s unscrupulous exhorting, they managed to get a few thousand Low Grade Spirit stones each day. Minus the money he used to buy some things, Lin Xiao could only cough up around 400,000 to 500,000 Low Grade Spirit stones.
He glanced at Lin Yun but the latter shook his head. Lin Yun had used his money to buy herbs to help accelerating his cultivation. It could be said that he was the poorest among them.
Lu Jian himself didn’t have that much. He didn’t fight as much as others and naturally didn’t have high bet.
Princess Lan Yi Hua looked at Lin Xiao and tugged his sleeve. "I have some money. We can split the bill into two."
Lin Xiao looked at Princess Lan Yi Hua as he wanted to cry. His effort of trying to make himself looked cool had failed thorough and thorough.
