Chapter 544 - 544 Buying a Sea Area 2
The Grandmaster hurriedly left.
An Cheng and An Lie took turns persuading Su Xiaolu again. They went back and forth, making Su Xiaolu dizzy.
Their words made the soldiers standing guard shake their heads.
This matter was not beneficial to this Young Master, but it was very beneficial to them. Su Xiaolu was unfamiliar with the place and was not related to them, so no one would tell her the truth. They could not wait for her to jump into the trap.
When the Grandmaster returned with the county magistrate of Qinghai County, Liang Yizhi, he frowned and asked, “Young Master, 150,000 is really too little. You have to pay more.”
Hearing such a good thing, he laughed until his stomach hurt. It was only after the Grandmaster’s persuasion that he calmed down. After thinking about it, he still couldn’t agree too readily. He still had to push and pull. Only then would it appear that the officials were really at a disadvantage.
“No, I won’t add another penny.”
Su Xiaolu refused firmly.
An Cheng also persuaded, “Young Master, why don’t you add a little more? When you build a port, that place will be priceless.”
An Lie also persuaded, “Yes, yes.”
Su Xiaolu seemed to be tempted, but she still shook her head. “Forget it. I’m not familiar with the sea. What if I lose money? I’ll go to Fengzhou to get silk instead. Don’t drag it out. It’s just one word. Can I buy it or not? If I can’t, don’t say anything.”
“Young Master, wait…”
Liang Yizhi quickly stopped Su Xiaolu and gritted his teeth with a pained expression. “I’ll sell it. We can sign the contract now. Once we sign it, we can’t go back on our word. 150,000 it is.”
This Young Master was indeed young and impetuous. He was very decisive. It was better not to drag it out in case he exhausted him. He would sign it immediately. He would earn 100,000 taels with tears in his eyes.
“Alright, then let’s sign it.”
Su Xiaolu was also straightforward.
On the other hand, An Cheng and An Lie were still fooling around. The crab was as big as a washbasin. There were sea quills, sea cucumbers, and so on.
Su Xiaolu was like a big fool. Her eyes lit up. “Really? That’s great.” She signed the contract foolishly.
Then, she handed over the banknotes and put away the contract. It looked like she was putting it in her pocket, but she was actually putting it in the Space.
Su Xiaolu had already asked An Lie and An Cheng to bring her there.
The three of them left the government office happily.
Liang Yizhi and the Grandmaster sent them out. As they walked further and further away, the Grandmaster said happily, “Sir, what if this young master finds out that he was deceived and comes to cause trouble for us?”
Liang Yizhi snorted coldly. “How dare he—what kind of place does he think this is? He can’t take it back just because he wants to. How can there be no risk in doing business? If there’s a guaranteed profit and he doesn’t lose anything, then everyone will go do business.”
He could only blame himself for being stupid and brainless.

After walking far away, An Lie patted his chest. “Master, fortunately, I didn’t expose myself.”
An Cheng was relaxed. He smiled and said, “That place wasn’t a good place to begin with. There were suckers who wanted to buy it. The officials couldn’t wait to sell it. This was just right for them.”
Godly Boat Ditch was a precipitous cliff. Wherever the boat stopped, it would be damaged by the waves.
If that was a good place, it wouldn’t be leftover like this.
However, renting a sea area was profitable. If someone wanted to rent such a place, the county master couldn’t wait. He didn’t care if others would earn money if they rented it, but if they rented it out, the county master would earn money for sure.
“Alright, as long as it’s done, the officials will go and check the sea area. We can go out to sea now.”
Su Xiaolu smiled. Ordinary fishing boats would not approach an owner-occupied sea area.
At the mention of going out to sea, An Lie and An Cheng were very excited.
“Alright, let’s go out to sea tonight.”
An Cheng said impatiently.
An Lie had no objections. He just looked at Su Xiaolu. He was now Su Xiaolu’s disciple and had to be more obedient.
Su Xiaolu nodded. “Okay, go buy a few things and put them on the boat. We’ll go out to sea at night.”
Su Xiaolu returned to the small courtyard. Old Wu was doing the horse stance in the courtyard. Gui You trained him strictly and saw Su Xiaolu return.
Old Wu’s face alternated between green and white. He was really embarrassed. He was already halfway into the grave, but he still had to practice martial arts and practice his foundation in front of his disciple. He was so embarrassed.
“Master, Master Gui You, we’re going out to sea tonight. I rented that sea area. For ten years, that sea area will be mine.”
Su Xiaolu smiled as she returned the money box to Old Wu and Gui You.
“This is the leftover.”
Su Xiaolu said.
Old Wu glanced at Gui You. “Can I rest now?”
Gui You’s expression was cold. “No, stand there for another two hours. Xiaolu will train with me.”
The old could not escape, and the young could not escape either.
Su Xiaolu brought a sword over. When the master and disciple fought, their figures doubled. The saber and sword flashed back and forth, and Old Wu was dumbfounded.
There was only a sigh in his heart: This girl is really amazing. If it was him, Gui You would have to kneel down and beg him not to die within three moves.
Two hours later, Old Wu sat down to rest.
Su Xiaolu was also a little exhausted. She walked to Old Wu’s side and comforted him with her Internal Breath. After a few rounds of Internal Breath, Old Wu’s spirit recovered.
Old Wu was very gratified. He had not doted on this girl for nothing.
Gui You went back and packed his things.
When it was almost dark, An Lie and An Cheng arrived.
When they saw Gui You and Old Wu, they greeted them respectfully.
“Master Gui You, I forgot to mention that I took in a disciple. It’s him. His name is An Lie.”
Su Xiaolu supported Old Wu and spoke as they walked.
Old Wu looked over.
Being sized up, An Lie pursed his lips and remained silent. He did not dodge or hide. The two Masters did not like him to talk too much, so he could only do so.
“Master Gui You, his foundation is not bad.”
Seeing that Gui You was silent, Su Xiaolu spoke again.
Gui You said in a deep voice, “As long as you’re happy, you don’t need my permission. Everyone’s way of the sword is different. Although they share the same origin, they have different paths.”
Gui You understood Su Xiaolu’s thoughts. He explained to her.
The sword techniques they practiced were different for everyone. Everyone’s comprehension of the way of the sword was also different.
Su Xiaolu took him in as her disciple. As for what he would be taught, no one knew because everyone trained differently.
“Thank you, Master Gui You.”
Su Xiaolu smiled and nodded. She was relieved to hear Gui You’s words.
