The next day, Lin Yu sat in a restaurant and asked around for news. Most of them said that the Earth Earth Sect's ruins would open in half a month. The ruins were located in a stone forest on the west side of Dancing Sky City, at the Heavenly Horse Slope. The ruins had already appeared, but the Yuan Qi protective barrier outside had not been activated, so no one could enter.

According to the calculations of the major factions, the protective shield would be activated at noon in half a month's time. After a month, it would sink into the ground again. Many warriors had already rushed to the West Mountain Stone Forest to wait for the opening of the relic.

There were also rumors about the four young masters. As for the sects that Lin Yu wanted to know about, there was no news at all. In fact, he wanted to hear about the Palace of Heavenly Purity to see if there was any news about Yu 'er. " Yu 'er." Lin Yu sighed softly and threw a piece of silver down the stairs.

As he walked on the streets, he saw people coming and going everywhere. The shops on the streets were bustling with business, and Lin Yu did not see anything he needed to buy. He was wearing a set of green clothes that Ping 'er had bought in Drifting Cloud City. It fitted him perfectly. He was 1.78 meters tall, had wide shoulders and an ape's back. Due to his cultivation, his figure was very well-coordinated. His muscles were restrained but full of explosive power. His handsome face occasionally had a slight smile, showing a different kind of elegance despite his ordinary appearance.

The northern part of the city was occupied by various large factions. The eastern part of the city was mainly occupied by various large chambers of commerce, including auction houses, medicine merchants, weapon merchants, and so on. The southern part of the city was mainly the civilian area. Behind the southern part of the city was a large flat piece of land that nourished the entire Wuling City. The western part of the city was relatively desolate compared to the other three areas. There were two mountain peaks across the river, which was also considered a major feature. Among them, a mountain in the southwest direction was the territory of the Spirit Beast Sect.

Lin Yu thought about it and decided that Wu Ling could only stay in the west of the city. Every inch of land in the east of the city was worth a lot of money. The north of the city was either rich or noble, and the south of the city was not suitable for martial artists.?Forget it, it was useless to think about it. He went to take a look and called a carriage to the west of the city.

There were two mountain peaks in the west of the city. The one in the southwest was over a thousand feet tall. It was used by the Spirit Beast Sect to rear spirit beasts. There was a circle of buildings at the bottom of the mountain. Most people in the west of the city lived around this mountain. The other mountain was only a few hundred feet high, but it was extremely vast. The tributary of the Dancing River flowed through the mountain and into the land in the south of the city. From a distance, the small mountain looked more like a small island than a mountain.

At the same time, the river also divided the west of the city into two. The Spirit Beast Sect was in the south, and the island was in the north. The northern district looked like it was mostly hills. The land was not very fertile, and few people lived there. There were only a few scattered families.

Lin Yu looked around but did not find anything suitable. The Spirit Beast Sect was in the southern area and it was uncomfortable to be under someone else's jurisdiction. The northern district was so desolate that it was not suitable for living. I'll see if there are any houses for sale in other districts tomorrow.

Just as Lin Yu was about to leave and return to the inn, he heard a rumbling sound behind him.?He turned around and saw a person lying on the ground. His hair was disheveled and his face was dirty. His clothes were covered in black mud and he was motionless. Lin Yu could sense that the person was still breathing and was only unconscious. If he was not woken up for a long time, he would really have closed his eyes for the rest of his life.

It was fate that they had met. Lin Yu walked to the side and fetched a kettle of water. He splashed it on his face and opened his eyes immediately.

"Thank you, Young Master." The man's voice was hoarse. Lin Yu fed him some water and he finally regained his strength.?The first thing she did after getting up was to bow to Lin Yu. She then staggered to the pond and washed her face before she tidied herself up seriously.?

Lin Yu watched from a distance and found it very interesting. This was the first time he had met such a showy person in his previous life.?

"Young Master, thank you for your help."

"Sir, there's no need to be so polite. I didn't do anything. It was just a small favor. If others saw it, they would do the same.”Lin Yu finally saw the man's true appearance. He was in his forties, had a stiff face, and wise eyes. He was dressed in a well-tailored robe and was polite but not fawning. No matter how he looked at it, he looked like a qualified butler.

"Young Master can just call me Ouyang. I'm a housekeeper.”When he mentioned that he was a butler, his spirits were lifted, and he had a proud expression from the bottom of his heart. Lin Yu's interest was piqued.

"Butler Ouyang, can you tell me what's going on?”

Hearing Lin Yu's question, Butler Ouyang's face was filled with sadness and bitterness. He then slowly explained the whole story," The Zheng Estate was a century-old aristocratic family in Dancing Forest City. It had been passed down for three generations. Ouyang's grandfather, father, and Ouyang himself had served three generations of the family head respectively. They had been passed down for three stewards, and each steward was called Ouyang.

The current Zheng Family Head was not willing to be inferior to others and wanted a share of Wuling City's benefits. He secretly took in martial artists and planned to swallow the last Heavenly Snake Gang in Wuling City's alliance. As the butler, Ouyang tried his best to share all the responsibilities of the family head. Just yesterday, when they launched an attack on the Heavenly Snake Gang and saw that the Zheng family had the upper hand, a group of masked people rushed out from the Heavenly Snake Gang. They were very powerful and pounced on the Zheng family members. Although the Zheng family rose up to resist, the situation was already over.

In the end, the Zheng Clan was wiped out and all of its direct descendants died. Most of the other martial artists died in battle, and very few managed to escape.

"Ouyang, how could they let you off?”Lin Yu was puzzled.

" Looks like Young Master isn't Wu Ling. Wuling City's various major powers have battles every year, but they don't punish ordinary people. Once one side loses, other than immediate family members and martial artists, no one else is allowed to intentionally harm them.”Superintendent Ouyang explained.

Lin Yu finally understood that he was in favor of such a method. The death of ordinary people would not affect these forces at all. They could even win the hearts of the people.?"Ouyang, what are your plans for the future?”

" I..." A rumbling sound came from Superintendent Ouyang's stomach.

"You must be hungry. Let's go eat." Lin Yu invited.

Superintendent Ouyang shook her head and refused to agree. Lin Yu was puzzled. Seeing his confused expression, Ouyang said,""Our ancestors had a rule that only by putting in effort can we reap rewards. I've been trained according to the butler regulations since I was young. Other than being a butler, Ouyang doesn't know anything else.

Lin Yu was stunned. This was considered a professional from another world. Scratching his head, Lin Yu's eyes lit up. Someone was giving him a pillow even when he was sleeping. Wasn't he supposed to stay at the Wuling family's home? In the future, when there were more people, they would definitely need a butler to take care of them. Wasn't Superintendent Ouyang the best choice?

"Ouyang, are you willing to be my butler?”Lin Yu asked expectantly.?

"Young Master, are you serious?" Superintendent Ouyang didn't believe it.

"Of course, it can't be more real. To tell you the truth, I came here to find a place to settle down.”

"Young Master, the butler needs you to pay him silver every month."

"Ouyang, I don't care about anything else. Just tell me if you're willing to be the butler of my Lin Manor.”Lin Yu interrupted Ouyang Shuo's rambling.

"Yes, Patriarch."

" Alright, let's go eat," Lin Yu said happily as he patted Ouyang Shuo's shoulder.?

When they returned to the inn, Lin Yu instructed the waiter to buy Ouyang a set of clothes. After Ouyang came out from the bath, he would send the food to her room.

An hour later, Lin Yu sat down at the dining table while Ouyang Qing stood beside him, feeling refreshed after washing up.

"Ouyang, sit down. After eating, I still have something to ask you.”

"Patriarch, I'll eat after you're done, or you can order a table for this subordinate.”Ouyang Wei bowed.

"Ouyang, I'll arrange for you to eat together, okay?”Lin Yu knocked his head helplessly.

"Yes, Patriarch." Superintendent Ouyang then sat down to eat. Even though she was very hungry, she still chewed elegantly and slowly. Lin Yu started eating casually as well. He could not have learned it if he did not pay much attention to it.?

After finishing his meal, Lin Yu told Ouyang Shuo about his situation, including his thoughts on Wuling City and his trip to the West District today.

"Patriarch, you want to find a place to live alone. It's useless for me to be a butler.”Superintendent Ouyang was very dissatisfied with this.

"Ouyang, you don't understand what I mean.”Lin Yu opened the window and looked at the distant east. A faint melancholy crept over his body. Only he knew that he would mutter to himself in the dead of the night," I was just a lone traveler in the Soaring Dance Continent.

"Ouyang, what I need is an aristocratic family that will last for thousands of generations. You might think that I'm being arrogant and naive, but I'm not just talking nonsense. I need some time to prove that I really need a butler like you. "I hope that you can work hard with me. Not only will my Lin family's inheritance, but even your Ouyang family's inheritance.”

"Patriarch, Ouyang was wrong. He shouldn't have questioned you like that just now. Ouyang will definitely do his best to help Patriarch.”Superintendent Ouyang was moved by Lin Yu's words.

Waving his hand, Lin Yu sat down." Ouyang, tell me, where in Wuling City is suitable for us to settle down and build a residence?"

"Patriarch, I know all the major powers in Wuling City. The northern part of the city has the largest territory and the most abundant spiritual energy. Almost all the major powers and sects are located there. We don't have the ability to get involved now. As for the east and south of the city, it's not suitable either. After all, building a residence requires a lot of territory. After thinking about it, I can only think of the west side of the city." Superintendent Ouyang voiced her opinion.

"Yes." Lin Yu did not comment.

"The south bank of the western part of the city is the Spirit Beast Sect. Only the north bank is suitable. However, that place is full of hills and the terrain is not very good.”Superintendent Ouyang was a little conflicted.

"Ouyang, you and I agree. The north bank is the only place that's suitable for us.”Lin Yu said.

"Patriarch!"

"You'll know when I'm done. I want the entire area of the north bank. The Lin Mansion will be built at the bottom of the mountain. There will be a main road leading to the Lin Mansion in the middle. All the hills beside it will be tidied up according to the terrain and planted with fruit trees. It is best to plant those that do not lose leaves. The island-like mountain peak did not move it for now.”

"Patriarch, if you want to plant fruit trees, that place is very good. Moreover, if you plan it well, the scenery will be very exquisite. It's just that we need a lot of silver in the early stages."

"These are not big problems. Let's take it step by step. What I'm worried about is that if we build it, will someone attack our main base? You have to know that we don't have any defensive power now.”Lin Yu frowned.

"Family Head, there's no need to worry about this. As long as Wuling City is still under the management of the Alliance, as long as we bought the land legally, it's all under their protection.”

Lin Yu understood that the Wulin Continent respected martial arts. As long as the benefits were great enough, the rules were nothing but a joke.?As long as he was safe for the time being, as long as his realm increased, he would not be afraid of anyone.

"How much does it cost to buy the north bank?"

"The north bank isn't suitable for living or farming, and the land is very cheap. I should be able to get it for 50,000 taels, which is 500 taels of gold (1 tael of gold =100 taels of silver). The fruit tree seedlings and workers also needed about 50,000 people. The architecture depended on what it looked like.”Ouyang Kan went out.

I have a few requirements for you to find someone to design the place. Other than the main hall, you should have a courtyard and a few pavilions in the backyard.

Here are eight hundred taels of gold in silver. Take it and take down the north bank first. You can plan the rest. Lin Yu took out a banknote and handed it to Ouyang. Out of the one thousand taels of gold that she had obtained from Mrs. Chen, Ping 'er took one hundred taels with her when she returned. The other one hundred taels were for her recent expenses, and the remaining eight hundred taels were directly given to Ouyang.

"Oh right, Ouyang, in a few days, the Earth Earth Sect's ruins will open. I'll go there, and I'll probably be back in a month. If there's anything, I'll come back and talk to you.”

They chatted for a while longer. Seeing that Ouyang was already very sleepy, he sent him back to rest while Lin Yu sat cross-legged to cultivate.
