After Li Xuan practiced for several days, good news came. The family's reward was implemented, and Mingshui Manor became his property from that day on.
Amid the jealousy, envy and speculation of many tribesmen, Li Xuan waved his hand and said goodbye to the busy Chiji Town for the time being, and went to take over his first territory leisurely.
Mingshui Manor is located on the most fertile land near Xianyun City, including a small castle, a lake, a woodland, a pasture and a large area of farmland.
When Li Xuan rode his skinny little pony to the gate of Mingshui Manor, a large group of people including the manor's housekeepers, servants, farmers, and guards were already waiting at the door. However, judging from their lazy looks, they seemed to be interested in this.
The new owner is not very respectful.
Standing at the front of the welcoming team was a sturdy middle-aged man with a mustache. With a formulaic smile, he respectfully saluted Li Xuan and said, "Dear Master Li Xuan, I am from Mingshui Manor.
Butler Li Fei, on behalf of the manor, I welcome you!"
"Welcome..." There was a sparse echo from the crowd, but unfortunately there was not much sincerity in their voices.
Li Xuan was too lazy to pay attention to these trivial matters. He came to Mingshui Manor just to seek some peace and quiet, and everything else was secondary.
"Well...nice to meet you all.
I'm not very familiar with things in the manor, so everything should follow the previous rules.
Butler Li Fei, right? Just take care of the affairs of the manor. If it’s not a particularly troublesome matter, you don’t need to notify me.”
Li Xuan pointed at Li Feidao.
"As you command!"
Li Fei's face lit up with joy, and he bowed and thanked him.
Soon Li Xuan arrived at the castle. Li Fei had already arranged a bedroom and a workshop according to his instructions. From now on, this will be where Li Xuan eats, sleeps and works.
After dinner, Li Xuan began his first day in Mingshui.
His studio is large and well-equipped with facilities, ranging from various pens and inks used by spell masters to alchemy furnaces used by alchemists.
There is even a furnace and chimney prepared in the corner of the workshop. Some relatively simple casting work can also be completed here.
Sitting comfortably on his work chair, Li Xuan took a nap to recuperate his energy.
It was almost midnight and the entire manor was silent. Only then did Li Xuan open his eyes and prepare to start the first day of practice.
Carefully, he took out a ball of crumpled velvet from his pocket. After untying it, a dark stone was revealed inside.
If you don't touch it, many people will think it is an ordinary lump of coal, but only Li Xuan knows that this is not only not a lump of coal, but the Styx Magic Diamond! Li Xuan is still thinking about how to deal with the Styx Magic Diamond.
This kind of gem is usually embedded in weapons, which can increase the monk's combat strength by several levels.
"If you want to build a weapon, there are still many accessories missing.
It seems that I should ask the owner of the house if he has any high-end inventory when he gets the chance... Sigh, getting such a treasure is also a troublesome thing!"
Li Xuan held the Styx Magic Diamond and looked around, feeling the terrifying chill emanating from it while muttering in a low voice.
If these words were heard by other monks, they would definitely be angry. It would be too pretentious to think that it would be troublesome to get a Styx Diamond for nothing! The lights in the workroom were on all night.
When the morning light faded and everyone in the manor got up and started working one by one, Li Xuan fell asleep again.
Working day and night every day, Li Xuan's work and rest time is as fixed as an owl. Sometimes he is too lazy to go out to eat, and has his servants deliver all three meals to his workroom.
According to a servant who was served by Li Xuan, the workshop has become a garbage dump. Various materials are piled up like a hill, garbage is scattered all over the floor, and the furnace in the corner is burning all the time. God knows that famous person
What is the good-for-nothing young master doing?
Yes, Li Xuan's reputation as a good-for-nothing has long been spread to Mingshui Manor. Although he is the nominal owner, in fact most people in the manor don't take him seriously.
In everyone's mind, Butler Li Fei is the controller of the manor.
Even Li Fei himself thought so. In the first few days after Li Xuan arrived, he was still timid, fearing that the new owner would find something wrong with him.
Gradually, he realized that Li Xuan didn't care about anything, so he felt relieved.
So, something happened... Early that morning, not long after Li Xuan fell asleep, there was a knock on the door.
Being awakened from his dream, Li Xuan felt a little unhappy. He stuck his head out from under the quilt and shouted, "Who is it?"
"Master, it's me, Li Fei. If you have something to do, please take care of it."
Li Fei's voice came from outside the door.
"come in."
Li Xuan yawned and got out of the quilt.
Li Fei walked in and saw Li Xuan half-sitting on the bed with sleepy eyes, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
"Is there a problem?
Didn't I say that you don't need to notify me about unimportant things?"
Li Xuan said with some dissatisfaction.
Li Fei smiled bitterly and said: "Master, this matter is indeed very important. It is... someone is here to collect debt!"
"Debt collection?"
Li Xuan was stunned, "What debt?"
Li Fei said: "This... it's a long story. The creditor is waiting in the living room. Why don't we talk more carefully after seeing him?"
Li Xuan, who was confused, came to the living room twenty minutes later. Before he could walk in, he heard a thunderous voice coming from inside.
"The IOU clearly states that the 20,000 silver has been owed for more than a month! What about the Li family's manor? Is it okay to not pay back the money or to defy the laws of the empire?
Anyway, if you don’t pay back the money today, I will go and seek justice!”
Li Xuan was in a bad mood when he was woken up early in the morning. When he heard someone making a fuss in his territory, he narrowed his eyes.
If the group of immortals who were enemies of Li Xuan saw him showing such an expression, they would definitely tremble.
This expression meant that Li Xuan was about to go crazy! Stepping into the living room, Li Xuan saw a big man with a sinister face sitting in the middle, followed by four or five crooked men in black.
They all looked like they were going to eat people! As soon as he saw Li Xuan and Li Fei walking in, the big man's eyes lit up: "Hey, Li Fei, you came just in time, when are you going to pay me back?"
"Xu Meng, this is the new owner of the manor, Young Master Li Xuan of the Li family. If you have any questions, please tell him."
Li Fei shrank aside and pushed Li Xuan out.
"Ouch! The young master of the Li family?
Haha, since you are a young master, that’s great, he must be very rich.”
The big man known as Xu Meng laughed ferociously, "Actually, the total is only 20,000 silver, which is just a small amount for you. I will leave immediately after you pay the money back..."
