Chapter 21: Holding the chess piece in hand and filling the blue spirit

Even though Lu Chenfeng was a martial artist, he felt a slight chill go down his spine just now. He turned his head and aggressively glared at the broker. Since this guy was well-respected in this field, there's no way he did not know about this.

"Uhmm...I-I forgot"

"Hmph"

The registrar glanced at him and asked:

"Actually, our yamen*** specially investigated the murder in this house, however, nothing was found. We even invited eminent monks and taoists to perform service here. As for how this house is, there are different opinions. I am just a little registrar, only doing my duty to warn you."

***yamen- the administrative office or residence of a local bureaucrat or mandarin in imperial China.

After saying this, the registrar stroked his beard and looked at Lu Chengfeng.

"Hero Lu, does this house still need to be bought?"

Lu Chengfeng was a little hesitant. Since this house was rumored to be haunted, he naturally would not buy. Even the official record also had these things written down, by any chance it was true, wouldn't buying it harm sir?

"Since it was the case, then I..."

Wait!

Lu Chengfeng froze midway, he suddenly remembered who he was helping.

He's Sir Ji, the expert who made the tiger demon of Mt. Bullhip to kneel for advice. He's powerful! He's almighty!

Then he recalled what sir Ji said before when he decided to buy a house: Such a cheap and elegant house, why would I not buy it? It's just a little dirty, I just need to clean it up.

A little dirty? Clean it up?

The so-called haunted house, if that was true, how could sir Ji not see it? If it was false, it' d be no problem at all!

"Daren, I'm still going to buy this house, but it's not for me, rather for a teacher."

The registrar looked at him in surprise, the bailiff in the room also couldn't hide his shock, only the broker was secretly delighted.

"Hero Lu, you should think about it clearly. Since he's your teacher, you should consider it more thoroughly!! You...are you sure you want to buy it?"

"Please rest assured Daren, this one has thought it through."

The registrar shook his head and no longer tried to persuade him. He had done his duty and since there was no evidence that the house was haunted, he picked a brush from the brush rack and the ink stone from the side.

"Alright, Hero Lu, please sign the property transfer book on the behalf of your teacher and afterward, pay the 36 taels of silver."

Lu Chengfeng no longer said anything. He picked up the brush, lightly dipped it in ink, then signed two words in the book. He returned the brush and handed three 10 silver notes and one 5 silver note, and then took out one or two silver ingots.

The registrar received the money and after a careful scan of the bank notes and weighing the silver ingots in his hand. He then put the money into the drawer and turned the book to look at the neatly written words "Ji Yuan". It seemed that there's no such figure among the nine.

"Good, Hero Lu wait a moment, I'll go and get the house deed."

The registrar stood up and searched according to the labels on the several large bookshelves behind him. He then took out a dozen documents in a wooden box, from which he found the house deed and handed it to Lu Chengfeng.
