Chapter 518: Chu Xu

Bai Xun took care of the rest of the process at the magistrate.

While he did so, Lin Xuan Qi briefed the carpenters and builders that were arranged by Bai Xun, to start work on the refurnishing.

The carpenters and builders estimated that it would take them around a week to finish the work.

Lin Xuan Qi let them proceed with it and he went back to the inn.

With things going so smoothly for the new retail shops, Lin Xuan Qi finally felt the joy of having someone else doing the leg work for him.

And if Lee He Song was also able to help expand the retail stores in Bian Jing, it would be so productive for him.

When Bai Xun came back to the inn, he handed over the completed documents for the properties to Lin Xuan Qi.

A familiar sound erupted in Lin Xuan Qi’s mind and information panels with words appeared in it.

[Congratulations to host for procuring new properties.]

[Host is unbeatable within its compound.]

[Bonus of 100 Five-Element Stones delivered.]

[Keep up the good work!]

Lin Xuan Qi was glad when he saw the information panel.

He had a ’stronghold’ in Gui Feng City and he felt so much safer than before.

"Great job, Bai Xun. Do you know where Master Lee’s friend is?" Lin Xuan Qi took a sip of his tea and asked.

Bai Xun nodded his head at him and said, "The Chu Clan is located in Feng Shou Street."

"Thanks, I will pay a visit to Chu Xu. Help me take care of matters if there’s any." He said and Bai Xun cupped his hands at him, "I will do my best, Master Lin."

Lin Xuan Qi went to Feng Shou Street next to pay a visit to Chu Xu, but not before he bought some gifts for Chu Xu along the way.

When the horse carriage arrived at the Chu Clan’s residence, he alighted.

The Chu Clan was obviously a cultivation clan with the scriptures on the walls and the Spirit Qi that was in the surroundings.

It was great news for Lin Xuan Qi.

He had come to ask Chu Xu about the Spirit Valley and with the Chu Clan being a cultivation clan, the odds of Chu Xu knowing something about it were higher.

"I’m here to pay a visit to Mistress Chu Xu, tell her that Master Lee He Song had sent me." Lin Xuan Qi cupped his hands at the guards that were at the gates of the residence and said.

"Wait here."

One of the guards went into the residence and came out a few moments later.

"Come with me, Mistress Chu Xu will meet you at the guest hall."

"Thank you so much."

Lin Xuan Qi thanked the guard and followed him to the guest hall.

He took a seat and a servant girl poured him a cup of tea while another brought out a tray of desserts and placed it on the tea table for him.

"Mistress Chu Xu will be here shortly." The servant girls said and they left, leaving him behind in the guest hall alone.

The guest hall was well furnished with exquisite carvings of dragons, phoenixes, and qilins on the pillars.

Paintings were hung on the walls and the tables and chairs were made of precious Huanghuali wood that gave off a pleasant smell.

While he glanced around at the guest hall, a woman’s voice sounded and he turned his head to the entrance.

Chu Xu looked much younger than he had expected with a slender figure. Her skin was fair, immaculate and smooth, making her big round eyes stand out even further.

Lin Xuan Qi couldn’t think of any situation that he could connect Lee He Song with her. And although he was curious, he knew better than to ask.

He was here with an objective.

"You must be Mistress Chu Xu, I’m Lin Xuan Qi from the Lin Clan in Hong Feng City.

"It’s such an honor to meet you." Lin Xuan Qi stood up, cupped his hands at Chu Xu and said.

"It’s an honor to meet you too."

Chu Xu nodded at him and she gestured for him to take his seat.

She took a seat that was opposite from him and asked, "How is Lee He Song? Where is he? It’s been years since I’ve met him."

"Master Lee is working for me in my clan, and he is in Bian Jing right now, doing some tasks for me."

"That is good to hear." Chu Xu nodded her head with a sigh.

Lin Xuan Qi couldn’t decipher the sigh, he didn’t know whether it was for the years they’d never met again, or for the fact that Lee He Song wasn’t here with him.

He pretended not to notice and he presented the gift he had gotten for Chu Xu.

It was some accessories like hair pins and necklaces for her.

"Here is a gift for you, hope you like it."

"Thanks."

Chu Xu’s servant girl standing by the side received the wrapped gift on her behalf.

They chatted about what Lin Xuan Qi did and why he was here in Gui Feng.

Lin Xuan Qi also asked a little about what the Chu Clan did.

And when he felt that it was the right time for it, he proceeded with his intention and asked, "I’m here to see if you have any idea about the Spirit Valley."

"The Spirit Valley?" Chu Xu raised an eyebrow at him.

She couldn’t sense any Spirit Qi on him and it wasn’t something she expected him to ask.

Maybe he was curious and looking for a way to make some profit?

From what she had heard from him, he was a rather successful businessman.

Made sense for someone like him to try and be involved with what was the most lucrative in the Da Qian Dynasty.

All the Spirit Stones and cultivation resources were highly sought after.

And the profits would be the highest.

However, it would only be so if you could keep it.

She had a sip of tea before she put the tea cup down and said, "I do have to warn you..."
