As soon as Chu Jun came out of the Magic Treasure House, he immediately realized that the atmosphere was not right. There were many patrolling city guards on the streets, and they interrogated him after arresting him. Chu Jun couldn't help but shout in his heart. Could it be that the Yun Clan had already discovered that Yunyun had been killed and was currently sealing off Beast Taming City to search for the murderer? The Yun Clan's influence in Beast Taming City was not ordinary. If they had known earlier, they would have gone to Shuangye City.
"Big brother, do you need a place to stay?"
While he was deep in thought, A timid and tender voice came from behind him. Chu Jun turned around and saw a fifteen or sixteen year old girl standing behind him. She was wearing a light green skirt. However, the skirt was already pale white. Furthermore, there were a few patches on the bottom of the skirt. The hem of the skirt was seriously damaged, and they all pulled out silk strips. It looked extremely shabby.
The girl's face was pale and skinny, But this is the age of shoulder hair, Her tall and thin body was like a bun that had just pulled out a spike. Although she looked like a bun, her eyes were very pure and bright. The skirt on her body had obviously been worn for too long, and it did not fit her body. Her skirt was hanging high, revealing two white and tender legs, and her sleeves were not long enough. This made her look fearful and cowardly.
When the girl saw Chu Jun turn around and look over, she immediately lowered her head timidly and mechanically repeated, "Big brother, do you need a place to stay?"
Chu Jun himself was from a poor family. When he saw the girl's shabby clothes, he immediately felt a trace of pity and asked, "Do you have a place to rent?"
When the young girl heard Chu Jun's gentle tone, she raised her head and said boldly, "Yes, does Big Brother want to rent it?"
Chu Jun was just about to find a place to stay when he nodded and said, "Yes, how many spirit crystals are there for a month?"
The girl's eyes lit up and she hurriedly said, "It's not expensive, it's not expensive. Twenty spirit crystals a month!"
Chu Jun couldn't help but be a little surprised. Twenty spirit crystals were indeed not expensive, and they were so cheap that they were rotten. One had to know that the city entrance fee would cost two spirit crystals.
"Really twenty spirit crystals?" Chu Jun asked in disbelief.
The young girl's aura immediately weakened. She lowered her head and said, "Big brother, how about eighteen spirit crystals? We can't lose any more. If you rent them, I can help you cook and wash for free!"
Chu Jun was stunned and said, "You … you helped me wash my clothes and cook? Isn't this bad?"
The girl nodded seriously and said, "Since everyone lives together, we should help each other!"
"Everyone lives together. You live with me?" Chu Jun couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
The girl blushed and hurriedly said, "Big Brother, don't misunderstand. We don't live there. My father also lives there. There are two rooms in that courtyard, but the rent is 40 spirit crystals a month. It's too expensive. Father and I can't afford it, so we want to let one of the rooms go!" The young girl looked at Chu Jun timidly after she finished speaking.
Chu Jun instantly understood. He dared to say that he wanted to rent with him. No wonder he was dressed like a poor fellow. The young lady immediately regarded him as her best partner.
Chu Jun rubbed his chin, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Naturally, he was unwilling to live in the same courtyard as strangers. How inconvenient was this? He hurriedly shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not used to living with others!"
The girl immediately lowered her head in disappointment. She had already run into a wall a few times in the past few days. After all, they did not know each other. Who was willing to share a rent with a stranger? Today, she was standing guard at the city gate. Seeing Chu Jun wandering around after entering the city, she looked around. It was obvious that he was a newcomer. He definitely did not have a place to stay. Furthermore, he looked like a body cultivator who was dressed in miserable clothes. Therefore, the young girl gathered her courage to ask. She did not expect that he would still be rejected.
"Big brother, do you want to rent fifteen spirit crystals?" The young girl asked reluctantly.
Chu Jun was about to apologetically refuse, but when he saw a group of city guards walking towards him, his heart suddenly stirred. He hurriedly said, "Then take me to take a look!"
The young girl was overjoyed and said, "Big brother is really a good person, please follow me!" With that, he turned around and led the way with light footsteps.
Chu Jun couldn't help but shake his head. This girl was too kind. In the courtyard of forty spirit crystals in January, half of it was taken up by someone else for fifteen yuan. He even said that someone else was a good person!
"What's your name?" Chu Jun asked.
The girl turned around and smiled, "My name is Xu Xiaoqi. You called me Xiaoqi Xing. Big brother, what do you call me?"
"My name is Lin Shan!" Chu Jun split his name in half.
Without the slightest doubt, the girl sweetly shouted, "Big Brother Lin!"
Chu Jun followed the girl around and finally arrived at the end of an alley.
The girl pushed open the courtyard door and walked out, shouting happily, "Father, I'm back!"
Chu Jun glanced at the narrow courtyard. This courtyard was only fifty to sixty square meters in size. Not to mention the Spirit Wood, there wasn't even a single plant. However, the courtyard with forty Spirit Crystals for a month was just like this.
"Cough cough!" Two coughs came and Xiao Qi walked out with a man in his fifties.
The middle-aged male cultivator looked very tall, but at this moment, he was very weak. His face was pale and yellow, and he needed someone to help him walk. Obviously, he was seriously injured.
"This must be little brother Lin Shan!" The middle-aged male cultivator sized up Chu Jun and asked.
Chu Jun hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Kid Lin Shan greets Uncle Xu!"
The middle-aged male cultivator coughed a few times and said, "Little Brother Lin, forgive me for being injured. It's inconvenient for me to return the favor. I'm really sorry. I didn't know that the little girl was going to find someone to share the apartment with. However, an old man who is on the verge of death really doesn't trust the little girl to live with strangers. I'm really sorry for letting Little Brother Lin make a trip in vain!"
The girl immediately bit her lower lip and remained silent!
Originally, Chu Jun only wanted to borrow the girl to avoid the City Guard's investigation. It was best if this courtyard could be shared. It didn't matter if it couldn't be shared. If it was him, he wouldn't be at ease if his daughter lived in the same courtyard with an unfamiliar man. Thus, he cupped his fists and smiled, "It doesn't matter. I'll take my leave now!"
The middle-aged male cultivator couldn't help but be a little surprised. He heard from his daughter that this fellow in front of him only had fifteen spirit crystals, He needed his daughter to help him with the laundry and cooking before he could rent it, He had already treated Chu Jun as an old fogey who loved to take advantage of others. I thought it wouldn't be easy to get rid of him, He was already prepared to compensate for the two spirit crystals. He hadn't expected that the other party would immediately agree to leave the moment he suggested it. A gentleman was very good. It seemed that he had misjudged someone this time. The other party really didn't intend to take advantage of Xiao Qi. Judging from the way he dressed, he should be too poor to pay the rent, so he was only willing to pay 15 spirit crystals.
"Little Seventh Young Lady, farewell!" Chu Jun smiled and turned around to walk out of the courtyard.
The middle-aged male cultivator suddenly felt that it was not bad to leave this young man behind to share the rent. However, since he had already spoken, it was naturally not easy to take him back. He hurriedly said, "Xiao Qi, send him off to Brother Lin. The alleyways here are complicated!"
Xiao Qi nodded and escorted Chu Jun out of the courtyard.
"Big Brother Lin, I'm sorry!" Xiao Qi said apologetically.
Chu Jun smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, but your father's injury is not light. Why don't you go to a doctor to treat him?"
Xiao Qi's eyes immediately turned red. He shook his head and said, "Our family relies entirely on Father for a living. Last month, Father was injured by a Second Grade Intermediate Spirit Beast's Wind Blade. He spent almost all of his savings to save his life. However, he suffered internal injuries. We can't afford the high cost of healing, nor can we afford spirit medicines, so we can only drag him out like this!"
Chu Jun frowned and said, "Then do you have no friends or relatives to turn to for help?"
Xiao Qi's eyes turned even redder. He sniffed and said, "Since we were young, father and I have been living together. We don't have any relatives or good friends, and we don't even lend us spirit crystals. We can't even pay the rent this month, so we went to find someone to share the rent … Well, Big Brother Lin, I'm sorry, I made you laugh!" Xiao Qi wiped her eyes and smiled, "Big Brother Lin, I'm going back. I'm really sorry for letting you go for nothing this time!" With that, he turned around and ran back.
Chu Jun looked at Xiao Qi's thin and slender back and suddenly felt his nose turn sour. He remembered that the same was true of his own home back then. The pot in his home did not open fire for several days. His sister and I were starving. When they saw a pile of sweet potato peels, both of their eyes shone with green light. It wasn't until he arrived in the army that they felt better.
Chu Jun shook his head. There were too many people in need of help in this world. He was not a god, so how much could he help them?
Just as Chu Jun was about to leave, a gray-haired old man walked over from the alley. He could tell that he was at the early stage of Spirit Condensation. The alley was quite narrow. Chu Jun hurriedly moved aside. The old man glanced at Chu Jun's attire and casually asked, "Do you want to find a place to live?"
A hint of doubt flashed through Chu Jun's eyes. Could it be that there was a chisel on his forehead? How could others know that he was looking for rent at a glance!
When the old man saw Chu Jun's expression, he knew that he had guessed correctly. He said proudly, "You look very unfamiliar. A new physique cultivator like you would most likely find a place to stay in the alley!"
Chu Jun couldn't help but be speechless. The old man's subtext clearly said that a poor man like him was only worthy of living in these nooks and crannies.
However, Chu Jun wanted to live in seclusion, so he didn't bother to pay any attention to the slightest bit of contempt in the old man's eyes. He said indifferently, "Not bad! I'm looking for a place to live!"
The old man patted Chu Jun's shoulder and smiled, "You're lucky. My uncle is the manager of this place. The alleyways and courtyards in this area belong to me. If you want to rent a courtyard, you have to find me!"
Chu Jun said doubtfully, "What a coincidence? You don't want to lie to me, do you?"
The old man immediately said unhappily, "Little brat, everyone in this area knows the name of my fellow charterer, If you don't believe me, you can ask anybody you want, Nah, that is the courtyard that Xu Laojian rented. "Forty spirit crystals a month, but that guy hasn't paid the rent for almost two months. If it weren't for his daughter Xiao Qi being obedient, this old man would have kicked him out long ago. Now the deadline is almost up, and this old man is going to ask for the rent. If you don't believe me, just follow this old man and see if Xu Laojian dares to fart!"
Chu Jun immediately believed him and nodded, "There's no need to look at the liveliness. Then you can rent a courtyard for me nearby!"
When the old man saw that he had business to do, he immediately became spirited and hurriedly said, "There is an empty courtyard next to Xu Laojian. You can go and take a look!"
Chu Jun followed this fellow who called himself Uncle Tong into a courtyard. This place was about the size of Xiao Qi's room, and it was cleaned up quite cleanly. Chu Jun wasn't picky about his residence. After looking at it for a few moments, he nodded and said, "This is it!"
The old man immediately smiled and said, "Little Young is straightforward. You are straightforward and this old man is straightforward as well. I will take 38 spirit crystals from you for a month. Such a courtyard usually takes 40 spirit crystals for a month. This old man likes you, so I will take two less spirit crystals from you!"
Chu Jun couldn't help but have a good impression of this old man. He smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Uncle. Oh right, how many spirit crystals does Xu Laojian owe you next door?"
"Eighty spirit crystals in two months, what's wrong?" The old man asked in shock.
"Little Seven and I are friends. These are 118 spirit crystals. I also paid the rent for their house for two months, but please tell her that I live here!" Chu Jun said.
The old man took the spirit crystal and swept a meaningful glance at Chu Jun. "Hehe, kid, good eyesight. Although that little girl Xiao Qi is a little thin, if she changes into a decent set of clothes and her skin is a little whiter, she would definitely be a beauty!"
Chu Jun couldn't help but roll his eyes, too lazy to explain to this old, disrespectful old man.
Tong Bo rented out the courtyard, received the rent arrears, and left with a humming tune.
