Pacification

"This location of your little courtyard isn't exactly ideal. Although it's not far from Xia'er University, it's too secluded. You have to go through a small forest, not to mention a hundred-meter-long path."

Baili Qingfeng said to a man in his thirties, dressed in a suit, standing in front of a courtyard.

"But sir, you should be able to see that this courtyard is right at the foot of the scenic Qingyuan Mountain, backing onto the mountain and facing the water, with a beautiful environment. That's its biggest advantage..."

"Two hundred."

Baili Qingfeng said, "I'll only pay two hundred a month for rent."

"Two hundred..."

The man saw that Baili Qingfeng's expression was firm and unmoved, so he had to pretend to be in a difficult position: "Then, as Mr. Bai Li says, two hundred, with a deposit for one month and payment for three."

Baili Qingfeng nodded and returned with the man.

This small courtyard was indeed secluded. Outside the courtyard was not an open space, but a small forest, about a hundred meters long. Girls would definitely not dare to come here easily at night. And outside the small forest was a low-rise old building area, with all kinds of small alleys. After passing through this area, you reach the main road, and then walk about four hundred meters to the back gate of Xia'er University.

Baili Qingfeng was willing to rent the courtyard because, on the one hand, the courtyard was not small and he could stretch his arms and legs, and on the other hand, the location was quiet and not easily disturbed, and thirdly, it was close.

Less than eight hundred meters is only about ten minutes' walk.

When Baili Qingfeng returned to school, he found that the Aurora Empire incident had been resolved.

Before things escalated further, Councilor York of the Xia Hai Province local council appeared, forcing the consulate to hand over people, and coupled with the public outrage, the Aurora Empire had to make concessions.

This action was a complete success.

"It's a bit like a self-directed and self-acted play..."

Baili Qingfeng looked at it from an outsider's perspective.

Thinking back to how the Sea World Association had been secretly instigating and stirring up trouble a few days ago, he understood that the inside story of this matter was not as he had imagined.

Fortunately, the situation gradually calmed down in the following days.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs made a report on the matter, attributing the responsibility to the Aurora Consulate, and the Aurora Empire also apologized, removing three middle-level personnel from their positions without any real impact, and the matter was resolved.

Soon after, everyone understood that the Red Flame Country had increased its troop strength on the border between the two countries from 60,000 to 120,000, a full doubling, in order to maintain border stability due to the Aurora Empire's seizure of oil fields in neighboring countries.

It is estimated that this is the main reason why the Aurora Empire chose to settle the matter peacefully in Xia.

The biggest winner of the entire incident, Councilor York, gradually entered the public's view after this incident and was reported by many media newspapers.

Councilor York himself already had a considerable influence in the Xia City area. After being bombarded by newspapers and media, he was gradually packaged as a national hero. It seemed that the citizens of Xia City could only have a way out under his leadership, and could only raise their eyebrows and straighten their spines under the oppression of the Aurora Empire.

Baili Qingfeng ignored the changes in the outside world.

Peace is what he needs.

Since the incident with Russell and others, the following month has been peaceful.

Although he didn't know how long this peace would last, he rarely enjoyed this tranquility, reading books, practicing martial arts, and familiarizing himself with the newly learned Heavenly Demon Disintegration Art.

After staying at school for a month, he took advantage of the holiday and returned to Wuhe City, which was only a dozen kilometers away.

When he arrived in Wuhe City, Baili Qingfeng did not go home immediately, but came to Sanshun Town.

His Second Grandfather's courtyard seemed quite deserted, with only Baili Ruoshui present.

Baili Qingfeng glanced around and asked, "Second Grandfather isn't here?"

"Second Grandfather is in the hospital."

"In the hospital? What happened?"

"An old friend came and insisted on sparring with him, and he ended up throwing out his back."

"Then I'll go to the hospital to see Second Grandfather."

"I'll take you with me."

As Baili Ruoshui spoke, she seemed to remember something and said, "Wait a moment."

Then she returned to the house, brought out a box, and handed it to him, "Grandfather said to give this to you."

"What is it?"

"I don't know, Grandfather wouldn't let us look."

Baili Ruoshui shook her head.

Baili Qingfeng opened the box, and inside was a medicinal prescription.

It was the Nourishing Essence Soup prescription that Baili Qingfeng wanted.
