Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 139 The House Deed is in Hand

When Grand Tutor Lu stepped forward, he saw that Su Yue was already sitting in the tea room, quietly waiting for his arrival.

"Greetings, Celestial Envoy!" Grand Tutor Lu hurriedly extended his hands and bowed respectfully, performing a standard and solemn salute.

"Grand Tutor, there's no need for such formality. Please take a seat!" Upon seeing this, Su Yue quickly put down the teacup she was holding.

He stood up, personally helped Grand Tutor Lu to his feet, and gestured for him to sit opposite him.

Following the force of Su Yue's hand, Grand Tutor Lu straightened up and then sat down steadily and properly.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yue smiled, picked up the teapot, poured a steaming cup of tea for Grand Tutor Lu, and said softly, "Please have some tea."

Grand Tutor Lu dared not delay, and hurriedly reached out to take the teacup. He first gently blew on it a few times, and then carefully took a small sip.

However, the moment the tea touched his tongue, he couldn't help but tremble slightly.

The tea itself is of superior quality, and even the water used to brew it is not ordinary water.

However, despite everything appearing normal, Grand Tutor Lu's doubts did not diminish in the slightest.

He pondered to himself what the immortal envoy wanted to see him for.

Could it be, as he had feared, that the other party was preparing to harm him because he had strongly opposed the establishment of a girls' school?

Just as Grand Tutor Lu's thoughts were becoming increasingly tangled like a knotted hemp,

Su Yue suddenly asked without hesitation, "I heard that the shop at No. 138 Gongchen Street is owned by your Lu family."

Upon hearing this, Grand Tutor Lu's heart skipped a beat. He had been lost in thought, speculating on various possibilities.

Unexpectedly, Su Yue mentioned her family's shop on Gongchen Street as soon as she opened her mouth.

In that instant, his thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, and a startling idea suddenly emerged: Could it be that the celestial envoy was interested in that shop, so much so that he specially invited him here, and his real purpose was to seize it by force?

"Reporting to the Immortal Envoy, that was my wife's dowry from back then," he replied tremblingly, his voice slightly shaking.

"Oh? I see. So, do you intend to sell the shop?" the celestial messenger asked with great interest.

Upon hearing this, Grand Tutor Lu was stunned, wondering to himself: What's going on? He had thought the other party was there to forcibly seize it, but it turned out they wanted to buy it. For a moment, he was at a loss.

"Uh... well..." Grand Tutor Lu stammered in response, his mind racing. After all, this matter had come too suddenly, catching him completely off guard.

After a brief hesitation, "Okay."

Su Yue saw that Grand Tutor Lu had agreed to sell.

Her face immediately lit up with joy, but she quickly followed up with an impatient question: "Grand Tutor, how much silver do you expect?"

Grand Tutor Lu pondered for a moment, then slowly extended three fingers.

In fact, he had heard some things about this shop from his wife.

The lady originally planned to open a rouge shop here, but unfortunately, this place used to be a restaurant.

Furthermore, a tragic incident occurred where a customer died from food poisoning, so the shop has remained vacant and unattended ever since.

Su Yue looked at Lu Taifu's outstretched palm and wondered to herself: How much silver does those three fingers represent?

Could it be three thousand taels?

Thinking of this, she looked at Grand Tutor Lu with suspicion, hoping to get some clues from his expression or eyes.

However, at this moment, Grand Tutor Lu was only concerned with drinking the tea in his hand.

Su Yue didn't know much about housing prices in Kyoto, so she didn't know how much those three fingers actually represented.

He decided to stop guessing and simply took out a stack of silver notes from his spatial storage, letting Grand Tutor Lu take them himself.

Since Grand Tutor Lu had already decided to sell the shop to Su Yue, he didn't stand on ceremony and took out three banknotes from the stack of silver notes.

He pulled out three hundred-tael bills, which surprised Su Yueye, but she didn't say anything.

"I'll have someone transfer the property deed to you in a bit and bring it over."

"Then thank you very much, Grand Tutor Lu." Su Yue was also very happy, as she could continue to earn money.

They felt that buying a shop in Kyoto for three hundred taels was a bargain from Grand Tutor Lu.

Before Grand Tutor Lu left, Su Yue had some peaches, grapes, and strawberries prepared for him to take back and try.

The next morning, Grand Tutor Lu sent someone to deliver the house deed and keys.

Shen Lerong handed the house deed and keys to Su Yue.

However, Su Yue did not reach out to take the property deed and keys that were handed to her.

Instead, he said to Shen Lerong, "Lerong, you will be in charge of managing all of this from now on."

After saying that, he turned around and called to Dali, who was standing next to him. The three of them prepared to go to the shop together.

So the three of them left Zhaixing Tower and headed towards No. 130 Gongchen Street.

Along the way, quite a few people recognized Su Yue.

Someone stopped and greeted Su Yue respectfully.

First came a kind-faced old woman who bowed slightly and said softly, "Greetings, Immortal Messenger!"

Immediately afterwards, another burly man stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Immortal Envoy!"

Such greetings rose and fell incessantly.

At first, Su Yue enjoyed the warm hospitality of everyone and smiled as she interacted with them.

But as they walked, the situation gradually became somewhat out of control.

As more and more people gathered to watch, the road was quickly blocked.

The once spacious street was now unusually crowded, with people pushing and shoving each other, just to get closer to the celestial envoy, or at least catch a glimpse of him.

Su Yue, who was in the center of the crowd, was in a terrible predicament.

She felt as if she were being squeezed by an invisible force, and her feet could hardly move an inch.

Not only that, in the chaos, someone stepped on her several times, causing her to wince in pain.

Seeing the situation becoming increasingly critical, Su Yue felt a sense of foreboding and quickly reached out to grab Shen Lerong and Dali beside her, while also sending them a signal through her eyes.

Fortunately, Dali was incredibly strong, and she managed to squeeze a gap through the crowd.

Seeing this, Su Yue did not hesitate to squeeze through the gap, then ran wildly towards the Star-Picking Tower without looking back.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief after rushing into the Star-Picking Tower and closing the door.

Looking at Su Yue now, she was already panting heavily and looked utterly disheveled.

Her carefully styled hair was now disheveled, and her shoes were covered with footprints of all sizes, making her look quite pitiful.

"Oh my, these people are so enthusiastic! They almost squeezed me flat!" Su Yue said, still shaken, as she tidied her hair and clothes.
