Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 54: Rivers, Lakes, Seas, Valleys, Forests and Plains
After the academy assessment, both the selected warriors and those who were not selected felt relieved.
The inner and outer streets were packed with warriors, and the city defense army specially borrowed several teams from the Red Tassel Army to maintain the law and order of Feishi City.
For many people, it is a great effort to come to Jade City, and even if they fail, they can just play for a few more days before going back.
At the very least, you should watch the "Inscription Ceremony" of Yisuli Academy, right?
Because of Tang Zheng's outstanding performance in the assessment, the threshold of his inn was almost trampled down. All kinds of people he had never seen or heard of came to talk to him about all kinds of strange things, and there were even a few girls who wanted to go on blind dates with him.
Tang Ququan also sent people to urge Tang Zheng several times to go back and live there, but Tang Zheng refused.
This went on for three days in a row.
Tang Zheng was extremely annoyed, knowing that if he continued like this, he would not be able to live.
The most urgent thing is to change place to live!
"I wonder if there is a place in Xingyao Continent with strict access control and better property management like in my previous life..." Tang Zheng was thinking about finding such a place to get a little peace.
With this question, he went to ask Ouyang Luoluo.
Ouyang Luoluo's answer was: "Yes, why don't you move into the instructor's dormitory in the academy?"
When Tang Zheng confirmed that the instructors' dormitory was for two people to a room and that the instructors living there were male instructors, he completely gave up this idea.
However, Ouyang Luoluo once again suggested that he consider working part-time as an instructor in the academy.
After leaving the academy, Tang Zheng went to look for Wang Danyang again, but Wang Danyang had already left Feishi City and would not be back for about half a month...
The two commanders of the same rank as Wang Danyang whom he had met last time, Li Hongjia and Yuwen Yimao, received him very warmly.
After hearing about the problem Tang Zheng encountered, the two people's reactions were no different from Ouyang Luoluo's: "Come live in the military camp, I guarantee that no one will dare to disturb you..."
Tang Zheng stroked his forehead, looked at the harsh conditions in the military camp, and declined the proposal with a twitching face.
"Well, that's right. You are not even satisfied with the instructor dormitory at Yisu Academy, so of course you look down on the conditions in the military camp." Li Hongjia smiled and said, "If that's the case, then you can only consider one place."
"Where?" Tang Zheng's eyes lit up again. "My requirements are not high. I just want a bigger area, better scenery, better lighting, someone to supervise the entry and exit, more exquisite decoration, flowers blooming in the garden all year round, and closer to the academy, preferably within walking distance..."
Li Hongjia and Yuwen Yimao looked at each other - this is not a high requirement!
We need location, area, scenery, and service...
Fortunately, there happened to be such a place in Feishi City, otherwise, Tang Zheng would have returned disappointed.
"You should know that Feishi City was originally a lake, right?" Li Hongjia said.
"Hmm..." Tang Zheng nodded.
"Now there is only a small piece of Emerald Lake left, but it is still beautiful. There are more than a dozen houses built there, and it is not far from Yisu Academy. Because it is designated as the 'Famous House in the World' by Zijin City, there are special people managing it. Even Yingshan's assassins can't get in easily." Li Hongjia pointed to the west.
"Famous house in the world?" Tang Zheng asked.
"Well, for houses built in the most scenic places on Xingyao Continent, the Purple Gold City will issue nameplates of 'Famous Houses in the World'. However, such houses are not cheap to buy... Especially the 'Famous House in the World·Cuihu' here, which is close to the Imperial Academy..."
Tang Zheng immediately understood. This was a high-end villa with a pleasant view, and it happened to be located in a school district, so it would certainly not be cheap.
However, as long as someone is willing to sell, everything will be fine.
Tang Zheng couldn't wait the whole day. He couldn't even sleep well in the inn. As soon as he found out the place, he immediately rushed to the place where the famous house in the world was.
Watching Tang Zheng leave in a hurry, Yuwen Yimao touched his nose and said, "We just mentioned it casually, but he seems... to be able to really afford it?"
Li Hongjia shook his head: "Who knows? I can't see through it, I can't see through it!"
…
Tang Zheng walked along the inner street of the academy to the end, and sure enough, there was a wide open area.
The sparkling Emerald Lake is not the ordinary water color of other lakes. Instead, the waves are blue and green, creating a strange and beautiful scenery under the sun.
In the distance, there were indeed a dozen houses scattered around the lake.
As soon as Tang Zheng got a little closer, he was stopped by two middle-aged people, a man and a woman.
"If you are just taking a walk, please turn back here." The two people were very polite.
"Oh? Why?" Tang Zheng did not leave immediately, but asked specifically.
"If we go any further, we will disturb our hosts' peace." They were still very polite, but the stars behind them had already risen.
There are two middle-aged people, a man and a woman. If you look at the constellations behind them alone, they are not good signs - they are just a white feather.
However, when the two of them stood together, with one facing left and the other facing right, their constellations seemed to have turned into a pair of wings!
There are three stars in everyone's horoscope.
But Tang Zheng was not sure whether their two horoscopes were separate or actually one.
If they were alone, two three-star warriors might not be able to protect this entire scenery...the "master" in their mouths has become a part of the scenery.
However, if the two of them had the same constellation behind them...
What Tang Zheng saw was a special six-star strongman!
A six-star expert is not someone who can be easily shaken.
Tang Zheng looked at them with a polite expression, but his eyes had a hint of murderous intent. He stopped probing and instead bowed slightly, saying, "I need to buy a place to live here."
The middle-aged man and woman looked at each other and said, "Buy?"
"Is there any problem?" Tang Zheng asked.
"This is a big problem..." said the middle-aged woman. "Some of the people who live here are unknown to us... May I ask how you plan to buy it?"
They did not doubt Tang Zheng's financial resources, because those who knew this place and could come here to propose "purchase" must be very familiar with "Tianxia Minglu" and would not joke about buying a house here.
Tang Zheng didn't expect that this kind of problem would arise.
"So, have you contacted the owner first before coming?" The middle-aged couple said with a polite look as if to see the guest off.
"No need to go through so much trouble." Where should Tang Zheng go to find the owner of the house?
"Then how are you going to 'not bother'..." the man asked.
"It's very simple. I just knock on every door and buy from whoever is willing to sell it!" Tang Zheng replied.
…
Tang Zheng said so, and he really did it.
Of course, the two middle-aged men would definitely not agree with his crazy behavior at first, but when Tang Zheng took out the Purple Gold Order of the Purple Gold City, they could not resist Tang Zheng's soft and hard persuasion, and called them "good brother, good sister" without any scruples. After hesitating for a while, they still accompanied him.
However, Tang Zheng could feel that "accompanying" him was actually a polite form of surveillance!
Tang Zheng didn't object either. After all, the more protection they provided to the residents here, the more comfortable his life would be in the future.
The Emerald Lake is particularly quiet.
Tang Zheng's knocking on the door loudly startled all the residents as soon as he knocked on the door of the first house.
There are fourteen cottages in total, scattered around the lake.
However, there are only three inhabited now.
It is said that the one with the best scenery belongs to the current principal of Yisu Academy, who is also the soul of the academy, Leng Changwang!
But this "King of Cold Shows" has an erratic whereabouts and is rarely seen here in a year.
"Do you want to buy the house here?" After a while, a young woman came out of a house.
"Yes." Tang Zheng stated all his needs again.
After listening to Tang Zheng's request, she covered her mouth and chuckled, then nodded, "It's just right, I'm going to Liuyun Family, and the house here can be sold to you."
After that, everything went as smoothly as it could.
In just a short while, Tang Zheng quickly negotiated the price with her.
Finally, the house was sold for 1,200 taels of purple gold.
"I didn't bring that much cash..." Tang Zheng suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have so many purple gold coins.
"It doesn't matter. Any note from the seven top families will do." The seller was quite easy to talk to.
"In fact, I don't have a bill of lading either..." Tang Zheng looked at the middle-aged couple and saw their faces change a little, so he quickly said, "Is pure gold okay?"
"Of course..." Not only the middle-aged couple, but also the young woman had a look of surprise on their faces.
Pure gold!
It is something that is even more difficult to find than a note, because pure gold is generally not used for transactions, it has more important uses...
If someone has pure gold, they will definitely keep it well and not trade it casually.
"He's probably the prodigal son of some aristocratic family." The people living here wouldn't be moved by several thousand taels of purple gold. They just felt sorry for his family when they saw that Tang Zheng took out pure gold.
Tang Zheng handed over the pure gold and immediately took a round nameplate from the young woman's hand...
As soon as he injected a little bit of his star power, the panoramic view of the house he had just purchased appeared on the nameplate!
The lake view and blue waves are so lifelike!
"This is the nameplate of 'The Famous House in the World - Cuihu'. If you lose it, you can go to the nearest Bailianfang to get a replacement!" The young woman continued to introduce precautions to Tang Zheng.
"Apart from this, what else is there in the world that is famous?" Tang Zheng asked casually after putting away the nameplate.
"The famous houses in the world are divided into eight categories: rivers, lakes, seas, mountains, valleys and forests. There are a total of 147 of them in the Xingyao Continent. They are all the stunning scenic spots that have been personally visited by the successive owners of the Purple Gold City..." The middle-aged couple introduced them in detail to Tang Zheng.
From now on, Tang Zheng will also live in this place. They hope that Tang Zheng can become a good resident and understand and cherish every scene here...
After Tang Zheng listened to all of them, he wondered whether he should try one of each in the future?
"Excuse me, are you moving now?" the middle-aged couple asked Tang Zhengdao after they finished talking.
"Moving? Oh, moving! Of course!" Tang Zheng was going to move from the inn immediately. He would probably be able to have a good sleep tonight...
However, as soon as he returned to the inn, he saw a strange sight at the door of his room.
At the door of his room, an ice-blue mist like that from a fairyland rose up!
And in that fairyland-like mist, it was not the Cheng Wu Niang that Tang Zheng had imagined...
But it was the figure of a beggar in tattered clothes, looming inside!
