What?!
Someone actually dared to make a move against Jiang Li of the Jiang Family in Nanli Capital City?!
The surrounding crowd, upon hearing this news, was utterly shocked into silence.
How influential and powerful the Jiang Family was in Nanli Capital City, everyone knew to avoid them. Yet, someone dared to openly assassinate one of them!
Qi Yuan was also stunned on the spot when she heard the news.
Jiang Li had dozens of Martial Spirit Realm guards by his side, and even a Spirit Transformation Realm protector, yet they were all killed?!
As far as she knew, there didn't seem to be anyone with such strength in Nanli Capital City...
Qi Yuan was greatly shocked and confused, but then she couldn't help but curve her lips upwards, revealing a pleased smile.
She never expected that the Jiang Family and Jiang Li would have such a day!
It must be because he was too arrogant and tyrannical in his daily life, offending someone he shouldn't have.
Truly reaping what he sowed!
Luo Ruying showed no change in expression upon hearing the news.
She wasn't concerned about these matters at all.
She only hoped that the commotion in the city wouldn't disturb her future life.
"Let's go, it's getting late, and we should pick out a residence."
Luo Ruying picked up Luo Hongye and said to Ning Yechen.
They had wandered around the city enough, and it was time to choose a suitable residence to settle down.
"What kind of house do Sister Luo and Brother Ning like?"
Qi Yuan, acting as their guide, stepped forward to inquire.
As the daughter of the Qi Family Merchant Guild in Nanli Capital City, she knew all about the shops and rental properties in the city.
The Qi Family had managers in charge of various locations, so as long as Luo Ruying mentioned her preferred house, she could quickly find a suitable one.
Luo Ruying thought for a moment and said:
"If possible, I'd prefer a quieter place."
She didn't have very high demands for a residence; what was important was being together as a family...
Qi Yuan thought for a moment and quickly summoned one of their managers who was in charge of selling houses.
The manager led Qi Yuan, Luo Ruying, and the others to a courtyard house located in a relatively secluded corner of Nanli Capital City.
The street in front of the courtyard was empty, with only a few sparse trees standing outside the gate. Behind the courtyard, there was a gently flowing stream, making the scenery quite peaceful and pleasant.
Pushing open the courtyard gate and entering, the courtyard was spacious and bright. In the backyard, besides the master bedroom, there were several side rooms, a kitchen, and a separate bathroom.
The entire courtyard was so large it was almost like a small mansion.
"This one is quite nice, but it seems a bit too big..."
"For just three people living here, it's a bit too extravagant."
Although she had lived in much more spacious and luxurious places in the Celestial Realm, now, as a wife, she had to consider many things.
It was inevitable that it would be a waste for just a family of three to live in such a large house.
Moreover, cleaning and maintaining the house would also be a troublesome task.
Most importantly, such a large house would probably cost a lot of money!
Ning Yechen looked around and also found the house to be good. He took Luo Hongye from Luo Ruying's arms and asked with a smile:
"Does Yeye like it here?"
"I like it~"
"Wherever Mama and Papa are, Yeye likes it."
Luo Hongye said happily, nestled in Ning Yechen's arms.
"Our Yeye is so good~"
Ning Yechen dotingly flicked Luo Hongye's little nose and turned to Luo Ruying, saying, "Wife, how about we live here?"
"Won't this... be too expensive?"
Luo Ruying pulled Ning Yechen aside and asked in a low voice.
She never expected that she, the Empress of the Celestial Realm, would one day have to worry about money...
When she fled the Celestial Realm, her celestial ring was also taken away. Now, apart from her cultivation, she was basically penniless...
As for money, Ning Yechen had never worried about it.
Buying the entire Nanli Capital City would be a drop in the bucket for him, let alone this small courtyard?
"Don't worry, wife. Actually, your husband here has a little bit of money~"
Ning Yechen patted his chest, saying with a relaxed and contented expression.
This made Luo Ruying slightly surprised.
She had thought that a hunter like Ning Yechen, who lived in seclusion in the mountains, would be penniless...
After all, it was rare for wealthy people to choose to live in seclusion in the mountains.
"Steward, my wife and I are very satisfied, we'll take this house."
"How much is this house?"
"Does this guest intend to stay temporarily or purchase it outright?" the old steward asked with a smile.
"Purchase it," Ning Yechen replied without hesitation.
Luo Ruying quickly whispered beside Ning Yechen, "You don't need to spend too much money to buy it, just staying temporarily is fine..."
They came to Nanli City mainly to avoid future pursuit, and they might move again soon. There was no need to waste money buying the entire house.
"Don't worry, my dear wife, it won't cost much," Ning Yechen said with a smile, finding it amusing.
Was his wife starting to be thrifty now...
She was becoming more and more like a virtuous and gentle wife...
"Guest, if you intend to purchase the entire courtyard, it will cost two million taels," the old steward said, holding up two fingers.
Ning Yechen unhesitatingly took out a small bag from his embrace and tossed it into the old steward's hand.
"This should be enough."
The old steward opened the bag in confusion, and his old eyes instantly froze and widened.
The bag was filled with various rare and dazzling gemstones!
Both in color and shape, they were extremely rare in the world!
There were even many that he had never seen before!
The old steward put on his special gemstone-viewing glasses, carefully picked up a gemstone, and examined it repeatedly, his expression growing more shocked.
With the purity of this material, if it were made into jewelry, the price would increase dozens of times!
As someone who had worked at the Qi Family Merchant Guild for most of his life, he had never seen such perfect gemstone material!
The value of this small bag far exceeded two million taels!
Qi Yuan also came closer. Having grown up in a merchant guild since childhood, she could recognize the value of some items.
Seeing the entire bag of gemstones in the old steward's hand, she also widened her eyes in shock and glanced at Ning Yechen in surprise.
So Sister Luo's husband was a rich young master...
"Sister Luo, Brother Ning, these gemstones are enough to pay for this house, but Qi Yuan cannot accept them."
Qi Yuan picked up the entire bag of gemstones and returned it to Ning Yechen.
"Sister Luo saved my life, so consider this house my gratitude for saving my life."
"How can that be?" Luo Ruying wanted to refuse, but Ning Yechen stepped in first, his eyes narrowed, and he asked Qi Yuan with a smile, "If I'm not mistaken, Miss Qi actually has something to ask of us?"
Ever since Qi Yuan witnessed Luo Ruying's cultivation and strength, she had been exceptionally enthusiastic.
Although part of it was admiration and gratitude, Ning Yechen also saw something from her hesitant expressions at times.
Qi Yuan was so enthusiastic because she seemed to have something she wanted to ask his wife.
Upon hearing this, Luo Ruying looked towards Qi Yuan.
Seeing that she had been found out, Qi Yuan no longer concealed it. She bowed solemnly to Luo Ruying and pleaded, "I do have something to ask..."
"Sister Luo, I want to ask you to save the Qi Family!"
