The furniture in the room was pretty much the same as Xu Yichi had expected.
The first thing that caught my eye was a large wooden table four feet square, separated by a half screen, and behind it was a wooden bed that was just big enough for two people to sleep together.
The bed did not look exquisite, and upon closer inspection it could even be described as "crude". However, considering that this courtyard was originally built by the temple for passers-by and refugees to live in, it was normal for the furnishings in the house to be simple and practical.
However, for them, having such a table in the room is enough.
After all, they don't live here based on age.
Xu Yichi walked around the hut while thinking, and unexpectedly found a newly separated small bathroom in the corner that looked like it had only been built for a few years.
...good guy.
When Taoist Priest Jiazi said that the sewage system in the old courtyard was not very good, she thought that they would have to queue up to use the public toilet like they did when they lived in the school dormitory.
It turns out that there is a private bathroom.
It is probably to facilitate the use of isolation points in the past two years.
——This saves a lot of trouble.
The little girl rubbed her chin thoughtfully, then she stealthily pulled Lu Shinian to the side and said, "Master Jiazi, how much does it cost to rent this yard for a month?"
Lu Shinian remained silent upon hearing that. He just stared quietly at Xu Da's hand that was about to tear his laces apart for a long time. After a while, he finally pursed his lips and silently swallowed the words "Please respect yourself" back into his stomach.
--never mind.
He felt that he and Mr. Xu were arguing about the issue but failed to understand it.
"If you come, I will pay you one thousand a month." The young man in Taoist robes pondered and gave a number, "I will pay for the water and electricity... There is no need for more."
"Wow, one thousand!" Xu Yichi was extremely shocked, his eyes suddenly widened like copper bells, "Are you sure the rent for such a big yard is only one thousand a month?"
——She thought it would be at least five or six thousand or even seven or eight thousand miles!
"Does Taoist Master Chen know that you set the price at your will?" The little girl was terrified. "If he knew, wouldn't he make trouble with you?"
——She remembered that Senior Dianfeng had said that Taoist Chen was an old swindler!
"Don't worry, I will make up the difference - you just need to pay a symbolic rent." Lu Shinian said calmly, "Although Master is a bit of a greedy businessman, he won't make a fuss over something like this."
"Eh? So?" Xu Yichi blinked in confusion, "Then we have to rent this entire courtyard... How much money do you have to pay to Taoist Chen every month?"
"Oh, not much." The young man in Taoist robes shrugged and slowly pulled out a finger, "About these."
"...Ten thousand?" Xu Da's dog looked suspiciously.
"One fate." Lu Shinian had no expression on his face. "One fate?!" Xu Yichi's eyes widened instantly, and he tried his best to suppress his voice and screamed, fearing that he would alarm Bai Miaomiao and the other person who were looking at other rooms, "...Why didn't he just go and rob the money???"
"Well... Actually it's not bad." Lu Shinian's eyes drifted slightly, "After all, it's such a big yard, and it's inside a Taoist temple. Not only is the aura guaranteed, but it's also a scenic spot. In previous years, the rent for each room alone was more than 7,000 a month. It seems normal to rent the whole set?"
"Besides... my master personally priced these things, so you can rest assured, Master Xu."
——It’s expensive.
Lu Shinian smacked his lips. "And guess what, given Master's level of cultivation and his understanding of Senior Yang, why would he go to great lengths to get you to come to me, instead of solving the problem for you directly, when he could tell at a glance that it was Senior Yang who was causing trouble?"
"…In the past, no, maybe not even in the past—if it were two or three weeks ago," Xu Yichi answered honestly, pulling at his sleeves, "I would have really believed his excuse of 'lack of fate'."
"Now it seems... he saw that fresh-graduated brats like us don't have much money. He didn't want to break his principle of making money, nor did he want to cheat his kids. So he just let me find you - this way, if you can't solve the problem, you can turn around and find him?"
"Well, that's about right." Lu Shinian said calmly, "The main thing is that I can help make up for the money you guys owe me... Anyway, that little money is not much, and in the end, it will be used by Master to build roads and houses in the surrounding villages and towns, subsidize schools, etc... I will just treat it as a donation to charity - this is even more reliable than many charities."
"Also, what he said about 'lack of fate' is true, but what is lacking is not 'fate', but 'fate' law." The young man in Taoist robes looked slightly cold, "Well... 'fate' law."
"... Stop talking, Taoist Clamp." Xu Yichi's face was slightly ferocious. "If you keep talking, I will really hate you, the damn second generation."
It would be fine if he just said that one hundred thousand is a small amount of money, but this guy even casually clamored to make up that damn extra payment for others - it's said that rich people's money doesn't come from the wind, they are just rich, not stupid, right?
She now really doubted the truthfulness of this sentence, and was very much wondering if there was something wrong with Taoist Jiazi's brain!
"Well, I can only say that, Master Xu," Lu Shinian clenched his fist and pretended to cough, "You shouldn't care too much about these vulgar things!"
"That's because I have nothing left!!!" Xu Yichi gritted his teeth, "Damn it... Taoist Jiazi, believe it or not, if I was born a damn second-generation like you, I would definitely be more cheerful and indifferent than you now!"
——People who cannot see things clearly are mostly poor (bushi). If she can have a small goal in her pocket, she must be very cheerful, positive and kind!
"...Okay." The young man in Taoist robe raised his hand and touched his nose, while casually laughing perfunctorily.
Seeing this, Xu Yichi took a long breath, and it took him a long time to calm down.
"Come on, Taoist Priest Jiazi, let's stop arguing about these trivial things - let's get back to the issue of renting a house!"
"Since you really don't need the money, and you consider the money you gave to Taoist Chen as a donation to charity, then Taoist Jiazi, we will really sign the rental contract with you for one thousand a month."
Xu Yichi blinked slowly: "After all, you have seen the situation of our studio - a small workshop that has just been independent for a short time. Even if we are lucky enough to get investment this time, we dare not spend it recklessly, let alone spend nearly a quarter of our money to rent a house."
"But we are not related, and I don't want to take advantage of you too much."
"How about this, Taoist Master Clamp." The little girl's eyes were clear, "We can use our assets to repay our debts - I will regard the rent you pay for us as your additional investment in our Dream Maker."
"Once this game is finished and starts to make a profit, I will pay you regular dividends based on your investment ratio."
"——Is this okay?"
