No one was scheming in secret or murdering ruthlessly, so they could already count themselves lucky. They had no room to bargain with anyone.
Originally, she wanted to find another place to live in the marketplace, but now there are practically no vacant houses in the marketplace.
The major families are desperately driving people out of the marketplace because they have no place to live themselves. How could she possibly find a place?
When she went to the pharmacy to sell pills earlier, she saw that Xu Mu looked quite well-off. She realized that the slums might not be as bad as she imagined, and planned to make do for a few months. Then when spring came, she would travel by airship with her daughter and leave White Stone City.
Her husband had passed away and she had offended the Chi Family. She could no longer live here.
She sought out Xu Mu to inquire about the conditions in the slums. If possible, she would stay there for a few months.
“I can’t guarantee that, but I’ve lived there for a few months and haven’t encountered any major problems.”
The reason he was targeted was because he was weak. Given Lan Shijin’s circumstances, no one would dare cause trouble.
“If Friend Lan wants to move there, there is a vacant house next to mine, you can go and check it out!”
“Really? That’s great!”
With Xu Mu as an old neighbor, she would feel at ease. She could quickly adapt to the local environment and avoid a lot of trouble.
She wasn’t planning to stay long-term. As soon as the airship service was open, she would leave with her daughter immediately.
“I don’t know if it’s possible to trouble Friend Xu to show me?’
“Of course, that’s no problem!”
Xu Mu was originally going to the market to buy things. But because of Lan Shijin, he had to postpone it until the next day.
Renting the house went quite smoothly. Xu Mu took Lan Shijin to meet the owner. After viewing the house, a contract was signed the same day and six months rent was paid.
Xu Mu could only say, it was really the luxury of being well-off!
Most of the slum dwellers pay rent monthly, some even wishing they could delay another month. Someone like Lan Shijin who pays half a year’s rent in one go was an absolute rarity.
When they came to view the house, Lan Shijin also made a point to see Ye Yingying, which delighted Ying Ying.
Although Ying Ying hadn’t complained about staying at home alone and looking after a child at such a young age, how could the teenager be happy staying at home and taking care of a child every day.
If it were in her previous life, she would have gotten depressed.
This was why Xu Mu was willing to actively help Lan Shijin.
With her around, his wife would at least have someone to talk to and wouldn’t be too bored.
For himself, his days were spent either cultivating or practicing alchemy, leaving little time to accompany his wife and daughter.
After securing the rental, Lan Shijin and her daughter didn’t move in immediately. They needed to sort out some matters back at home first, which would take about five or six days.
The next day, after Xu Mu restocked daily necessities at the market, he walked towards a nearby bookstore.
His tier one Fire-controlling Skill had reached its limit and couldn’t advance any further. So, he planned to buy a cultivation method of tier two Fire-controlling Skill and start practicing. Being in the mid-level of his Qi Cultivation, he could start cultivating tier two skills.
In the book of grand skills he had previously purchased, there were indeed many tier two skills recorded, even some tier three skills.
But considering its price of two Lower-grade Spirit Stones, you can tell how pathetic its content was!
Currently, Xu Mu was only accumulating ten Luck Points a day. He needed to be thrifty. Therefore, he wanted to buy a book with detailed introduction and abundant annotations on skill cultivation. This would help him master the skill faster and save a considerable amount of Luck Points in the beginning.
Upon stepping inside, he quickly found the book he was looking for. But seeing something else in the bookstore, the book in his hands didn’t seem so appealing anymore..
