"Is there a problem with this property deed?"
Wang Chen's eyes flickered as he asked without betraying a hint of emotion.
He was at the Household Affairs Hall, handling the procedures for transferring the property deed.
The Yunyang Sect outer sect was responsible for managing a hundred thousand outer sect disciples, as well as the three cities of Yunshan, Yunhu, and Yunhai, with a total population under its jurisdiction approaching one million. Thus, it had established numerous halls.
The Household Affairs Hall was rather inconspicuous among these halls, yet its status was quite high.
Any matters involving household registration transfers, property transactions, even marriages, funerals, births, and childrearing within its jurisdiction had to be processed and recorded here.
After obtaining his Inner Sect Disciple qualification at the Merit Affairs Hall, Wang Chen had come here to deal with the property deed Lu Defang had left him.
Although Lu Defang, as the head of the household, had transferred the house to Wang Chen before his death—
Without completing the transfer procedures at the Household Affairs Hall, Wang Chen would not count as the house's true owner.
Moreover, the house was worth over ten thousand Spirit Stones, and it was a relic left behind by the original owner's father.
By emotion and by reason alike, Wang Chen could not simply leave it alone.
Now that he had submitted the property deed, the steward in charge of the transfer had inspected it for ages, wearing a rather strange expression.
Yet he still had not given an answer.
No matter how patient Wang Chen was, he was getting a little annoyed.
At his questioning, the Household Affairs Hall steward gave an awkward laugh. "The property deed is genuine, but the original owner..."
"The previous owner was my uncle."
Wang Chen cut him off directly.
