Chapter 188 - 149 Matters of the Ghost
Li Yi had not yet entered the broker’s shop.
As soon as a shop assistant from the broker’s saw Li Yi, he immediately greeted him with great respect, and then a flattering smile appeared on his face.
The people at the broker’s were the most power-driven and had the sharpest eyes, recognizing at a glance whether the person entering the shop was rich, noble, or poor. Li Yi, dressed splendidly, leading a fine horse, and followed by a creature like Shan Zhen, was surely an extraordinary noble. Thus, they did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent, serving him promptly.
"It truly graces our humble establishment to have someone of your stature visit, may I know if there’s anything at all that you require of me? Here we can deal in houses, maids, servants..." the young shop assistant said, bending over and going on and on.
Li Yi glanced over, tossed a piece of silver: "Send someone who can make decisions, to accompany me to the outskirts of Sanyang City on horseback. I’m interested in the estates nearby Sanyang City, looking for a place to settle."
"Noble sir, please wait a moment, I will immediately inform our shopkeeper." After taking the silver, the shop assistant couldn’t hide his elation and hurried off to call someone.
In just a short time, a slightly fat middle-aged man in brocade clothes, with a somewhat honest look about him, came out in haste. When he saw Li Yi, he was so startled he almost knelt: "Isn’t this Li Yi, Mr. Li, the senior brother from Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall? I, Jin Dafu have met Mr. Li."
"You know me?" Li Yi asked.
"Mr. Li, unrivaled in bravery, took down two halls in one day, killing three Qi Cultivation Experts. Who in Sanyang City would not know, would not be aware? I had the fortune to catch a glimpse of Mr. Li from afar near the Jin Family Martial Arts Hall that day." Jin Dafu showed utmost respect, continually bowing, looking sincerely frightened, and then he instructed, "Go, bring out Su Qiao’er and serve Mr. Li the finest tea."
