Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!
Chapter 1061 - 564: The Taoist Priest's Finance, All are Elders, True Technique Advances Again! _3

"Now that your humble nephew owns nothing of value, instead of letting that despicable scoundrel profit, it's better to mortgage the mansion to you, Uncle Li, as a gift of thanks to that senior. Uncle Li, being the kind and generous elder you are, naturally cannot tolerate the vile behavior of my uncle's family."

Yi Chen was incredibly smooth and natural at spinning lies; he immediately spoke with sincere earnestness.

Invoking a fabricated father's good friend was nothing more than a ploy to add some leverage to his position, to make the person before him hesitate to act against him.

Li Landlord's face unexpectedly showed a hint of temptation upon hearing this.

After pondering for a moment, his chubby face then broke into a signature, Buddha-like smile.

"Nephew, you haven't discussed this matter with a second person, have you?"

"Of course not."

"Good, then I accept your offer. Moreover, I'm taking the risk of offending the county official for this, although I'm not afraid of him, this matter is ultimately unsightly. Therefore, nephew, I can only offer three Red Jade Coins for that mansion."

"This... Alright then!" Yi Chen's face showed a 'troubled' expression, but he ultimately gritted his teeth and said,

"Three coins it is!"

"Thank you, Uncle Li. Let's make the payment and transfer the property today. Here is the deed."

Seeing that the old man had finally relented, Yi Chen 'strained' a smile and took out a mortgage deed prepared in his sleeve, with the date set for three days later.

The law of the king only applies among those of equal strength. With this deed, the Li Family now has the capital to fight for the Yi Family mansion!

Gazing intently at Yi Chen's large face for a while, Li Landlord suddenly pressed down on the deed that Yi Chen offered.

"Nephew, you're not thinking of taking this money and sneaking away from Yang City, are you? Tell Uncle Li the truth, does your father's close friend truly exist?"

"Speak up, don't be afraid, if he doesn't exist, out of the many years of friendship with your father, I will ensure your safety. Nephew, don't blame me, I didn't expect them to go this far either."

Li Landlord spoke again with a heavier tone and a voice increasingly gentle and warm, like the spring sunshine.

"That senior is a high-level practitioner from the Dao Sect, known as Yi Chengzi. According to my father, he is at the True Person Realm." Yi Chen fearlessly met the old man's eyes and continued sincerely, "Moreover, with just a word from you, Uncle Li, it would be impossible for your nephew to escape Yang City even with wings."

"However, to prevent those behind us from desperate measures, I ask Uncle Li to endure for three days. Once Senior Yi Chengzi arrives, then you can proceed to the government office for the property transfer and accept the mansion from your nephew."

Gazing at Yi Chen for a long time and failing to perceive any deception, Li Landlord finally released the large hand pressing on the deed, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"You sly fox, no wonder you set the date for three days later. You don't trust your Uncle Li, do you?"

"It seems that if it weren't for the disaster at home, you would have continued to remain hidden. Anyway, Uncle Li can't be bothered to pry any further. Steward Fu, bring three Red Jade Coins."

Following Li Landlord's command, an elderly steward soon presented three Red Jade Coins with great care and reverence.

A short while later.

Yi Chen left the Li Family estate, looking back at the House of Accumulated Goodness signboard and couldn't help but twist a smile on his face, quietly releasing the hidden dagger in his sleeve.

"That went smoothly! Otherwise, I'd have to resort to plan B."

"Since that's the case, Shen Hong, let's begin!"

Arriving at a secluded alley and having absorbed the three Red Jade Coins, Yi Chen immediately headed towards Uncle Zhu's residence.
