A few days later, Jiang Ping'an led Gu Yunxu, Xiu Yun and Xuan Shuang to leave Daming City and go to Taiming Mountain Market.

Upon entering Taiming Mountain Market, Xiu Yun and Xuan Shuang were obviously shocked.

"Sir, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is so rich and pure!" Xiu Yun shouted excitedly to Jiang Ping'an.

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "Do you like it here?"

Before going out, he had already told Xiu Yun and Xuan Shuang that he wanted to move to Taiming Mountain Market.

"I like it! I like it very much!" Xiu Yun nodded vigorously in response.

Jiang Ping'an's eyes turned to Xuan Shuang's face, and Xuan Shuang nodded vigorously.

Jiang Ping'an laughed and said, "We will settle down and practice here from now on."

Despite knowing in advance, Xiu Yun, Xuan Shuang and Gu Yunxu couldn't help but cheer.

Jiang Ping'an said to Gu Yunxu, "Fairy Yunxu, you take Xiu Yun and Xuan Shuang around while I rent a house."

"Okay!" Gu Yunxu responded with a smile.

Jiang Ping'an separated from the three women and walked towards the main street of Fangshi.

Half an hour later, Jiang Ping'an rented a small courtyard with three rooms, and the monthly rent was five spiritual stones a month.

As for the medium-sized courtyard with five rooms, although it is good, it is too expensive. At fifteen spiritual stones a month, it is really unaffordable.

After renting the yard, Jiang Ping'an went to find Xiu Yun, Xuan Shuang and Gu Yunxu.

"The yard has been rented. I have rented a small yard with three rooms and a front yard." Jiang Ping'an said to the three women.

Xiu Yun and Xuan Shuang knew that they already knew the rent here, and they accepted the fact that there were few rooms.

Jiang Ping'an turned his eyes to Gu Yunxu and said, "Fairy Yunxu, I will subsidize you a spiritual stone every month. How about you rent a single room to live by yourself?"

The smile on Gu Yunxu's face froze slightly, and he lowered his head to think.

She knew in her heart that she was just Jiang Ping'an's subordinate, and Jiang Ping'an subsidizing her rent with a spiritual stone every month was quite benevolent.

However, having to pay the rent of a spiritual stone every month is very stressful for her.

She raised her face and begged, "Brother Jiang Dao, can I live with you? I know this request is a bit excessive, but I really can't afford the monthly rent of one spiritual stone. I am willing to extend my service to you for ten years. Is that okay?"

Jiang Ping'an is having some trouble.

The real reason why he asked Gu Yunxu to live in a single room was for privacy. His relationship with Gu Yunxu is an employment relationship, not a very close relationship. He doesn't want Gu Yunxu to know too many of his secrets.

If he pays all the rent for Gu Yunxu's single room, two spiritual stones per month, the price may not be too high.

At this time, Xiu Yun whispered to Xuan Shuang, and then said to Jiang Ping'an, "Master, the slave family and Xuan Shuang are used to living together, but they are not used to living in separate rooms. Let the slave family and Xuan Shuang live in one room."

Jiang Ping'an nodded slightly, turned to Gu Yunxu and said, "Then you can live with us for the time being. We will see the situation in a month or two."

"Thank you, Brother Jiang." Gu Yunxu said happily, and then expressed his gratitude to Xiu Yun and Xuan Shuang.

Xiu Yun smiled and said, "Flying Sword Fairy You're welcome."

Gu Yunxu said, "If you think highly of Yunxu, you can really call me by my name from now on. The name 'Flying Sword Fairy' is too embarrassing."

Now Xiu Yun and Xuan Shuang are both Spirit Aperture Realm monks. In addition, they are Jiang Ping'an's women. Gu Yunxu has put them on an equal footing.

"Okay." Xiu Yun responded with a smile.

After the discussion, Jiang Ping'an took the three girls to the small rented yard.

The small yard is far away from the street, almost on the other side of Mount Tai Ming. It is relatively quiet, has better privacy, and is not easily disturbed. This is why Jiang Ping'an chose it.

About one-third of the houses in Fang City are not rented out, and the proportion of courtyards rented out is much lower than that of single rooms. Therefore, Jiang Ping'an can choose a yard that is more suitable for you.

Opening the courtyard door, Xiu Yun was the first to run in cheering. Jiang Ping'an couldn't help but smile when he saw Xiu Yun was so happy, and then entered the yard, followed by Xuan Shuang and Gu Yunxu.

The yard is not large, five feet wide and three feet deep. A bluestone road one foot long and wide leads directly to the house. The left side of the bluestone road is paved with gray-white stone slabs. A set of stone tables and benches is placed at the end of the courtyard gate, and a simple kitchen is built at the end of the house.

The right side of the bluestone road is covered with soil, where many flowers and plants grow. You can also plant flowers and plants according to your own wishes, or even Spirit Medicine spiritual grass.

Across the front yard is the room.

These three rooms do not each have a separate door, but the middle room has a door to enter, and the doorways of the left and right rooms are opened on both sides of the middle room.

Looking at the layout, it is obvious that the room in the middle is used as a hall and dining room, and the rooms on the left and right are bedrooms, study rooms or Cultivation Chamber.

Seeing this layout, Jiang Ping'an was a little dumbfounded. When he rented a house, he didn't look carefully at the layout of the house.

With such a layout, the four of them cannot live together.

Gu Yunxu also had a smile on his face.

Jiang Ping'an turned to Gu Yunxu and said, "Fairy Yunxu, this is the hall, there are only two bedrooms here."

"I am willing to live in the hall." Gu Yunxu secretly made up his mind and said to Jiang Ping'an, "I beg Brother Jiang Dao not to rush Yunxu."

Jiang Ping'an said, "You are serious. The conditions are limited, so I will wrong you for a while."

"Thank you, Dao Brother Jiang." Gu Yunxu saluted Jiang Ping'an gratefully.

Jiang Ping'an turned around and entered the room on the right and took a look. It was also completely empty without any furniture. However, this was good, and he didn't want to use what others had left behind. Buying furniture and the like is nothing to him.

Returning to the hall, Jiang Ping'an took out four spiritual stones, gave two pieces each to Xiu Yun and Xuan Shuang, and gave them several hundred taels of gold.

Then, he said, "We went to the street to buy furniture and various daily necessities."

So they left the yard and went to the streets to shop.

It took nearly two hours to finally buy the basic supplies and put them away.

At this time, the sun had already set in the west, and Jiang Ping'an and the other four were cooking together.

Although Xiu Yun and Xuan Shuang were maids before, they actually didn't know cooking skills at all. On the contrary, "Flying Sword Fairy" and Gu Yunxu were so good at cooking that they could almost open a restaurant.

When the sun completely sets, Gu Yunxu prepares a table of delicious, delicious and tasty dishes.

The dishes were placed on the stone table in the front yard. The four people sat down around the stone table. Jiang Ping'an took out a bottle of Spirit Bamboo Clear Wine from Storage Bag and put it on the table.

The four wine glasses were filled, and the four people picked up the wine glasses.

"May our practice go smoothly, and we may live forever in the future." Jiang Ping'an said with a smile.

Gu Yunxu, Xiu Yun and Xuan Shuang all laughed and shouted "Longevity" while clinking glasses with Jiang Ping'an.

After the four of them had a drink together, the joyful atmosphere became even more intense.

While eating and drinking, they chatted happily until the moon reached the zenith, Jiang Ping'an and others finished and returned to the house to rest.

Jiang Ping'an entered his room, closed the door, and went to bed to rest for a while. When his breath and mind calmed down, he sat up cross-legged and began to absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to practice.

However, not long after, there was a knock on the door.

Jiang Ping'an stopped practicing, got out of bed and opened the door, and saw Xiu Yun and Xuan Shuang standing in front of the door with blushing faces.

"Sir, today is a happy day and we want to serve you." Xiu Yun said shyly.

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "Come in."

Xiu Yun and Xuan Shuang got in one after another, and Jiang Ping'an then closed the door.
