The Glorious Summoner - Chapter 195

195 A new identity

“Sir, are you satisfied with this hairstyle?” The handsome Barber stood behind Xia Pingan and used a comb to re-arrange Xia Pingan’s hair. He looked at Xia Pingan in the mirror and praised, ” I followed your request and cut my hair short. You don’t have to say, but you look quite energetic, Yingluo.

Xia Pingan looked at herself in the mirror and felt a little unfamiliar.

The face in the mirror was about 27 or 28 years old. It was plain and was not even as handsome as the barber behind him. It was a face that would not be easily remembered if one threw it into a crowd on the street. There was nothing distinctive about the face. If one had to find one feature, it would be that the short hair that matched this face looked very energetic.

At this time, with a change in his face and hairstyle, even if Yan duo were to stand in front of Xia ping ‘an, he probably wouldn’t be able to recognize Xia ping’ an.

“Not bad, this is good, I’m very satisfied!”

“Okay, I’ll wash your hair then.”

The service of the barbershop was very thoughtful. After washing his hair, he dried it and changed his clothes. Xia Pingan walked out of the shop feeling refreshed. The sun was shining brightly on the street outside. It was just noon.

The streets were bustling with people. Four-wheeled carriages and small tracked trains shuttled back and forth on the streets. The sound of the car whistle and the bell on the carriage rang one after another. Two police officers who were chatting and patrolling passed by Xia Pingan. They only glanced at Xia Pingan casually and did not look at him more than half a second.

It had only been one morning, and the sun family probably hadn’t discovered Sun Hao’s disappearance yet, but Xia Pingan had already completely changed his appearance in Shangjing.

Xia Pingan glanced at the Dali Guild Hall more than a hundred meters away. Outside the Guild Hall, Tang Long had just gotten on the carriage and was sitting beside the coachman in front of the carriage like a bodyguard. The elder of the Tang family was sitting in the carriage as soon as it left the Guild Hall.

When she was cutting her hair in the store, the mirror in the store was facing the entrance of the Dali club in the distance. From the reflection of the mirror, Xia Pingan saw the elder of the Tang family coming out of the club and getting into the car.

It seemed that the elder of the Tang family would stay in Shangjing for a while longer. He wondered what elder Tang was doing in Shangjing.

Xia ping ‘an didn’t dare to look at him for too long. He only glanced at him. In order to avoid being discovered, he quickly looked away. He didn’t even dare to use his long-distance vision to follow him. Who knew if the elder of the Tang family sitting in the car would sense anything? the perception ability of such an expert was too terrifying. Xia ping’ an didn’t want to alert the enemy.

Speaking of stalking, Xia ping ‘an thought of the realm Pearl of the illusionary child that was still in his spatial warehouse. It was said that the illusionary child that was summoned had a myriad of changes and was elusive, just like the little ghost and earth traveler sun. It was the strongest Scout and tracking tool. Unless it was a strong person above the seven Suns realm, no Summoner below the seven Suns realm could find the trace of the illusionary child.

If he could merge that realm bead, summon the illusionary child, and use it to stare at the elder of the Tang family, the elder of the Tang family would definitely not find anything.

However, if he wanted to merge with the realm bead, he had to find a place to stay first. He couldn’t just start merging on the streets or in any random hotel. It was too dangerous to merge the realm bead in such a crowded place.

He definitely could not return to the apartment. The new place had to be safe enough. At least, it couldn’t be like the apartment, where any random bounty hunters and police would dare to surround it. It was too dangerous if they wanted to make dumplings for him.

He had to find a quiet place where he could cultivate without being disturbed. Even if there was trash like sun Hao, he wouldn’t dare to get the police or bounty hunters to cause trouble.

As Xia Pingan walked on the street, she thought about where to stay.

Previously, when he was looking for a place to stay in Shangjing, his main consideration was that it was cheap, but now this problem could be thrown to the back of his mind.

Sun Hao, that trash, was like a child who gave money to others. Last night, Xia ping ‘an had counted the things in Sun Hao’s invisible storage equipment. Besides the 5000 to 6000 gold coins, there were still more than 3000 gold notes. Now, Xia ping’ an was already a person with a net worth of over 10000.

With almost 10000 gold coins on him, he could be considered a ” slightly rich ” person in Shangjing city. Although this money could not buy any good mansions and courtyards in Shangjing city, the top-class mansions and property management in Shangjing city often cost 80000 to 100000 gold coins. Mansions that cost hundreds of thousands of gold coins were not few. However, it was still possible to rent a good house with this money.

Other than renting a house, this money could also be used to buy many realm beads, allowing him to quickly increase his strength in a short period of time.

Xia Pingan had already thought of how to use the money.

As for the place to stay …

Suddenly–light flashed in Xia Pingan’s mind as he thought of a place-ping mountain.

The main camp of the adjudicator Army was at Mount ping, North of Shangjing.

There were many courtyards at the foot of ping mountain near the adjudicator Army’s camp. It was the oldest high-end residential area in Shangjing. Those who could live at the foot of ping mountain were either rich or noble. In addition, there were many countries ’embassies in the capital of the great Shang kingdom at the foot of ping mountain. There were also several important official houses of the great Shang kingdom. The security there was absolutely first-class.

If he had been living at the foot of Mount ping, near the adjudicator Army’s camp, Sun Hao wouldn’t have dared to simply get a bunch of people to seal off the road and surround him.

Would the bounty hunters and police dare to cause trouble under the eyes of the adjudicator Army? they definitely wouldn’t.

He was a member of the ruling Army’s Shadow Guard. In an emergency, he could find the organization and support nearby.

Seeing a high-end clothing store on the side of the street, Xia Pingan walked straight into the store.

A few minutes later, Xia Pingan walked out of the store again, looking completely different. Xia Pingan was wearing a double-breasted black silk robe and a pair of straight black trousers. Under the robe was a purple silk vest and a white shirt. A silver pocket watch chain peeked out from the inner lining of the robe. On his waist was a custom-made Golden Lion head, white jade buckle, and rhinoceros skin belt.

Wearing this outfit which was worth more than 5 gold coins, Zhang tie felt that he was very particular. It was obvious that he was a rich man.

Xia Pingan immediately called for a carriage on the street and had the carriage go directly to ping mountain.

In the wealthy areas at the foot of ping mountain, there were also real estate agents who sold and rented houses.

……

More than an hour later, Xia Pingan stopped the carriage in front of a high-class broker. Xia Pingan, who was dressed in several gold coins, got off the carriage. As soon as he entered the broker, someone immediately welcomed him warmly.

In the world of the rich, everything could be done smoothly. The people around them were full of kindness, patience, and thoughtfulness.

Xia Pingan only stated his requirements, and very quickly, the staff in the broker brought out a large pile of prepared rooms and floor plan information for Xia Pingan to choose from.

Xia Pingan looked through the information provided by the broker and picked out a house.

The house was a small courtyard with a single door and high walls. It had the temperament of a Hui-style building. The small courtyard was in an alley, and there were luxury courtyards on both sides.

“How do you rent this house?”

The middleman immediately began to speak. ah, Sir, you have a good eye. The owner of this house was an official of the reception Department in the Imperial court. He retired and returned home. He only moved out last month and left this house behind, preparing to use it when his children and grandchildren come to the capital to study. This house is next to ping mountain. It’s warm in winter and cool in summer. There are several embassies around it. Although the house is not large, less than one mu of land including the house, this small house has two floors. The basement and the furniture are all ready-made, suitable for a decent person like you. Our broker will send people to clean the house every few days, so the house is clean and ready to move in at any time. Also, this house is not expensive, 130 gold coins a year, and the deposit is 200 gold coins.”

130 gold coins a year was indeed not expensive for the current Xia Pingan. Even if he lived here for ten years, it would not even cost him 2000 gold coins. However, to ordinary people, this was a sky-high price.

Without much effort, after drinking two cups of tea and chatting for a while, the broker lowered the annual rent by 6 gold coins. Xia Pingan then directly rented this courtyard.

Thinking of the realm Pearl that he was going to merge with, Xia Pingan gave himself an alias, which was also called yang city.

There were people from the broker who helped to clean up the house and buy things to live in. In the evening, little ping ‘an got the key and settled down in the courtyard again.

What pleased Xia ping ‘an the most was the basement in the yard. It was actually a Summoner’s cultivation room. There was a secret door in the basement that could be locked from the inside, so it would not be easy for outsiders to enter.

As soon as the people from the Ivory shop left, Xia Pingan went to the basement and sat cross-legged on the warm bed for cultivation. He took out the realm Pearl that could summon the thousand illusion child and began to merge with the Kasaya.

At the same time, after disappearing for a day, the sun family finally realized that their young master, Sun Hao, and his bodyguards had disappeared too.

The sun family sent people to look for him, but they only found Sun Hao’s carriage.
