Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

"Alright, I will follow Brother Bai's arrangements!" Jiang Ning smiled.

At the same time.

The two guardian martial masters watched as Jiang Ning and Bai Luoyu entered the mansion, exchanging glances, with a hint of relief flashing through their eyes.

Relieved that they hadn't been rashly arrogant.

At this moment, they deeply etched Jiang Ning's appearance into their minds.

They knew that anyone whom Bai Luoyu valued so highly must be a significant figure.

...

Inner courtyard.

"Brother Jiang, this wine is called Jadescent Nectar, give it a taste!" Bai Luoyu filled a cup with emerald green wine and gestured for Jiang Ning to taste it.

The wine in the cup appeared like a green jade, especially with no wind, it looked like a solidified piece of jade.

"Let me try!"

Jiang Ning picked up the cup and sipped gently.

"Excellent wine!" Jiang Ning nodded.

"Brother Jiang, you are not being sincere!" Bai Luoyu looked at Jiang Ning and then earnestly said, "Seeing the worried look on your face, has something happened?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ning smiled bitterly and then said, "It seems I can't hide it from Brother Bai."

"Brother Jiang, tell me about it!" Bai Luoyu put down the wine cup in his hand and motioned for Jiang Ning to sit down.

After they sat down, Jiang Ning immediately recounted the events that had occurred earlier.

Not long after.

"I thought it was something significant," Bai Luoyun smiled slightly and continued, "Leave this matter to me; if your elder brother's family loses even a hair, I'll have my head to present to you!"

"In Dongling City, if it really is Yu Manyun's doing, this little Yu Manyun can't stir up much!"

"If she dares to provoke me, I would kill her in the street, and even the Water Moon Sword Palace would have to swallow their anger."

Hearing Bai Luoyu's words, a trace of astonishment flashed in Jiang Ning's eyes.

If Bai Luoyu wasn't exaggerating, Jiang Ning felt he might have underestimated Bai Luoyu before.

Seeing the fleeting expression in Jiang Ning's eyes, Bai Luoyu couldn't help but smile.

"Brother Jiang, do you think I'm boasting?"

Jiang Ning said, "No, just quite surprised, almost unbelievable!"

"Brother Jiang, you are quite tactful!" Bai Luoyu laughed.

Then he stood up, looked in the direction of the capital, and spoke firmly, "Brother Jiang, you must understand one thing: this world is still under Great Xia's rule!"

"As a Sixth Rank official, holding an important position with significant authority, I outrank other officials."

"No matter how powerful or renowned Xiao Qiushui of the Water Moon Sword Palace is, she is not a Grandmaster and, as such, lacks the qualification to remain outside Great Xia's dominion."

"Should she dare give herself airs, our Great Xia Grandmaster can sever her path to mastery, causing her to fall in the Water Moon Sword Palace, crushing her and her sect!"

Listening to Bai Luoyu's assertive remarks, Jiang Ning realized he had underestimated the Great Xia court.

Great Xia's dominion for over eight hundred years owes not to mere arguments but to its oppressive power.

Before Great Xia, a mere Fourth Grade martial arts rank is trivial.

He immediately stood up, clasping his hands, and said, "Then I entrust this matter to Brother Bai!"

"No need to be so formal!" Bai Luoyu waved him off.

Then he asked, "By the way, where is your elder brother's family currently residing?"

"Linjiang Building!"

"Linjiang Building? Such a place?" Bai Luoyu raised an eyebrow, then nodded with understanding, "Well, Brother Jiang is a native of Luoshui County and doesn't have a residence in Dongling City."

Jiang Ning said, "That's correct, so I plan to buy a house in the East City, but time is tight, and I can't afford to linger here long."

"If Brother Jiang wants to buy a house, I have a way, and it can be done quickly, within one or two hours at most. Will that be alright?" Bai Luoyu said.

"One or two hours?" Jiang Ning looked at Bai Luoyu, then nodded, "That can work!"

Returning to find Wang Jin and taking him for treatment was important, but settling his elder brother's family was even more so.

In the East District, being closer to Bai Luoyu, Bai Luoyu could better protect his elder brother's family.

Seeing Jiang Ning nod, Bai Luoyu clapped his hands and called out, "Mei!"

As Bai Luoyu spoke, the slightly ajar door swung open immediately.

A young girl in a white dress walked in: "Master!"

Bai Luoyu said, "Go summon Wang Fugui for me! Have him appear before me within an hour! Also, tell him to bring a list of houses for sale in the East District."

"Yes, Master!" the woman answered and immediately walked out.

"Brother Bai, who is Wang Fugui?" Jiang Ning spoke.

Bai Luoyu smiled and said, "He is the Land Contract Officer, in charge of property transactions in Dongling City. His information is the most comprehensive; he has all the records of houses for sale in the East District."

"Brother Jiang, be patient and just drink with me. In at most half an hour, he will appear before us!"

"Good!" Jiang Ning nodded.

...

Less than an hour.

A portly man appeared before them, panting heavily.

"Master Bai!" Wang Fugui swallowed his saliva, suppressing the coarse breath rising from his chest.

"Wang Fugui, did you bring the items?" Bai Luoyu picked up the folding fan on the table and stood up to speak.

"Master Bai, I brought them!" Wang Fugui nodded repeatedly.

Then he placed the purple-gold box he was holding onto the table in front.

"Master Bai, all the records of houses for sale in the East District are inside; please take a look, my lord!"

"I don't have the leisure to look!" Bai Luoyu opened the folding fan in his hand and waved it gently, then said, "I'll let my brother express his requirements, and you find a suitable residence for me."

"No problem, Master Bai!" Wang Fugui pounded his chest, making a thumping sound. "I remember the details of every house in the city. Just tell me the conditions, and I can certainly find a matching house."

"Great!" Bai Luoyu nodded.

He then looked at Jiang Ning: "Brother Jiang, please state your requirements for the house."

Wang Fugui also turned to Jiang Ning at this time, his face respectful: "Is it this lord who wants to buy a house? May I know the lord's respected name."

"I am Jiang Ning!" Jiang Ning cupped his hands and said.

"So it's Mr. Jiang!" Wang Fugui looked entirely respectful.

What kind of person, makes what kind of friends.

He knew that people like Master Bai made extraordinary friends, worthy of calling brothers.

Therefore, even if he did not know Jiang Ning, he dared not show any disrespect or neglect.

Then Wang Fugui continued respectfully: "Mr. Jiang, please tell me the conditions for choosing a house. I'll help you think."

Jiang Ning pondered for a moment and then said: "Near water, the larger the area, the better, and the closer to this place, the better!"

"I like Brother Jiang's choice!" Bai Luoyu's folding fan immediately closed with a "swish" sound, and he lightly clapped his hand and laughed.

He then looked at Wang Fugui: "Did you hear clearly? The closer to my residence, the better!"

"Understood!" Wang Fugui nodded repeatedly.

He stood there in thought for a moment.

Then opened the purple-gold wooden box in front of him, searching for land deeds.

A moment later.

He picked up a land deed and presented it to Bai Luoyu and Jiang Ning.

"Please look, my lords! This residence was originally one of Lord He's, confiscated after Master Bai took his family last year. Now both deeds are with me; whether in geographic location or other aspects, it should meet Mr. Jiang's requirements, importantly it's less than a mile from Master Bai's home."

"Lord He?" Bai Luoyu showed a doubtful expression and then said, "Is it He Guangkun?"

"Precisely him!" Liu Fugui said.

"Bring the land deed for me to see!" Bai Luoyu said.

"Yes!" Liu Fugui immediately nodded and handed the land deed to Bai Luoyu.

Bai Luoyu took the land deed, glanced twice, and then nodded.

"Brother Jiang, take a look!"

Receiving the land deed handed by Bai Luoyu, Jiang Ning glanced twice and immediately nodded.

On the land deed, not only was the size and area of the residence marked, but also the surrounding terrain.

In Dongling City, a tributary of the Nu River flows through the entire East District.

The tributary is also diverted by canals.

And in the drawing on the land deed, a small river one zhang wide runs along one side of the residence.

It can be called mountain-backed and river-front.

Moreover, the area of this residence is quite impressive.

Larger than the house he has in Luoshui County, covering six and a half acres, which is more than four thousand three hundred square meters.
