Chapter 185: Finishing Errands
After exiting the Brushweaver Guild, Li Lang sped through the streets with his Skyrunner. He was headed for the address Wei Ping had left him with. It was where he could find one of the agents who rented out various properties in the city. There were numerous such agents throughout Emberglow, so Li Lang was thankful his friend had narrowed down a few with a good reputation.
He arrived at a modest-looking house just off the main road. It was two stories with bright orange-brown tiles decorating the roofs. The front doors were wide open, with a man sitting inside, fanning himself as he watched people walk by.
“Greetings, Sir. Are you Cuo Zi, who manages some properties available for rent?”
The man gave him a few slight nods before lazily turning to grab a biscuit off the table. His demeanor said it all. He was used to his position of power as the one who rented out various properties on behalf of his patron. He could literally choose who to rent the places to on a whim.
Seeing this, Li Lang wasted no time. He had to get him to take him seriously.
He took a deep breath and began channeling the Qi inside of him. The energy surrounding him flared up, and a cultivator had to be blind not to perceive it. If Cuo Zi hadn’t noticed before, he definitely noticed Li Lang’s cultivation now.
His expression quickly changed to that of a businessman. He normally dealt with mortals, so he hadn’t paid too much attention to the young man who had suddenly appeared. Realizing the truth, he was quick to change his tune. He was a classic example of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
How did Wei Ping come to the conclusion that this guy was reliable?
“Please excuse me, I was just too hungry, as this was my first meal of the day. How can I assist you today, Young Master—err?”
“I am Li Lang. I’m here because I want to take a tour of some of the properties you manage.”
“Of course I can help you with that! I’ll bring you to the finest place currently available right away!
“No need. I want to check out these places.” Li Lang handed over a piece of paper Wei Ping had given him. It was the address of the properties he had scouted out.
