In the imperial capital

Gu Yan went to the Demon Slayer Division and took a look around the empty courtyard dedicated to Demon Slayer Officers. He was not satisfied with it. These courtyards were too close to the busy city. He and Lin Qingshang were both happy.

So Gu Yan planned to buy one by himself. After all, when Dugu Ling comes back, there won't be three people crowded in a small courtyard.

Gu Yan returned home directly, and happened to see Lin Qingshang just finishing his training, so he said

"Qingshang, the yard we live in is a bit small. I want to change it."

"It is indeed a bit too small. Your cultivation level is getting higher and higher. Every time you practice, you make a lot of noise. There is no extra space in this yard for a practice room."

Lin Qingshang thought that Gu Yan made so much noise every time he practiced, and rolled his eyes at him charmingly.

Gu Yan nodded and said

"Let's go to the dental store together and buy something suitable today."

The two came to the dental shop in the city. The boss of the dental shop saw that Gu Yan's official uniform was embroidered with a red red bird.

I immediately understood that the big shot was coming.

Come forward and salute respectfully

"I wonder what your surname is? Your Excellency is here today, but you have a promising house?"

Gu Yan waved his hand, indicating that he did not need to salute.

"My surname is Gu. Is there a house in the city with a quiet environment that can accommodate five or six people?"

After hearing what Gu Yan said, the owner of the dental shop quickly shouted to the inside of the dental shop.

"Brother, hurry up and serve tea to Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu."

Then he turned around and smiled at Gu Yan

"Master Gu, please sit down. I'm going to get the map right now."

After saying that, he hurried into the tooth row and took out the map.

Stretching out in front of Gu Yan, he pointed at two places in the city and said

"Master Gu, please take a look, these two houses are the ones that best meet your requirements in the city."

The owner of the dental shop drew a circle on one of the buildings with a brush.

"This house is in a good location. How much does it cost?"

The boss smiled and held out five fingers to Gu Yan.

"Sir, this house only costs fifty thousand taels of silver, so it's cheap."

Gu Yan frowned slightly. He knew that houses in the imperial capital were expensive, but he didn't expect them to be so expensive.

Fifty thousand taels of silver is enough for a family of three to live for several lifetimes. In this imperial capital, you can only buy one house big enough for five or six people.

It’s true that if you don’t enter the imperial capital, you don’t know how rich the officials are, and if you don’t enter the imperial capital, you don’t know how rich the money is.

“It’s too expensive here, is there anything cheaper?”

After hearing what Gu Yan said, the boss of the dental shop was a little embarrassed.

After thinking for a moment, he said cautiously

"Sir, there is another house in the city that meets your requirements, but..."

Gu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the dental shop owner.

"Just what?"

"It's just that the house is haunted..."

Gu Yan slapped his palm on the table and said coldly

"How presumptuous! Since the establishment of the Demon Slayer Division two thousand years ago, there have never been demons in the imperial capital. How can there be any talk of being haunted?"

The boss of the tooth shop was startled, and he immediately bowed and saluted in a panic.

"Sir, I'm not just talking nonsense. This house has been sold twice. Each time the buyer came to the door after living in it for two days, saying that the house was haunted.

The villain didn't believe it, but after living in that house for two days, it was indeed haunted. The villain could only return the house to the buyer and seal it up."

When Gu Yan saw that the boss of the dental shop didn't seem to be lying, he suddenly became suspicious. In this place suppressed by the Demon Slayer Division, there were actually demons causing trouble?

The demon mirrors hanging on the four gates of the imperial capital are not meant to fool people. If an evil spirit approaches, it should immediately reveal its true form.

"Where is that house?"

The boss of Yahang pointed at a location on the map and said

"This is a former residence of Prince Ning. After Prince Ning's family was executed, I bought it. I originally wanted to sell it for a good price, but I didn't expect that I lost it."

Gu Yan looked at the position pointed by the dental shop boss and nodded.

"Okay, that's it. How much does it cost?"

When the owner of the tooth shop heard Gu Yan's words, he raised his head and looked at him in shock.

"Master Gu, this place is really haunted. I didn't lie to you."

Gu Yan patted his shoulder and smiled slightly.

"I am a professional ghost killer."

After hearing Gu Yan's words, the boss came to his senses instantly. The young man in front of him was a high-ranking demon-slayer.

Isn't a small evil spirit destroyed with just a wave of his hand?

Thinking of this, the boss's face smiled as brightly as a chrysanthemum.

"If Mr. Gu wants this house, I can give you a deposit of 10,000 taels. Just treat it as a friend."

Ten thousand taels was exactly what Gu Yan wanted, so he nodded and agreed.

"Take us to see that house."

The owner of the tooth shop told the clerk in the store and took Gu Yan and Lin Qingshang directly to the mansion.

Half an hour later, the owner of Yaxing took Gu Yan and the two of them to the haunted house.

Gu Yan looked at the house in front of him and scanned it with his consciousness, but found no evil aura.

The owner of the tooth shop bravely stepped forward, opened the iron chain on the door, pushed the door open, and then quickly retreated behind Gu Yan

Seeing the cowardly look of the dental shop owner, Gu Yan shook his head and laughed.

"What are you afraid of when I'm here?"

The fat boss scratched his head in embarrassment

"Hey, don't be weird, Mr. Gu"

Then he walked in with his advisor

Prince Ning's mansion has been abandoned for a long time. The courtyard is full of weeds, the pond has dried up, and the furnishings in the room are also covered with dust.

Gu Yan casually fanned the dust raised when he opened the door.

The boss of the dental shop on the side saw this and said quickly

"Please don't worry, Mr. Gu. I will send someone to clean the house immediately after I get back. The house must be cleaned inside and outside today."

Seeing how sensible he was, Gu Yan smiled slightly and said

"You haven't asked the boss what your name is yet?"

The boss of the dental shop suddenly beamed with joy when he heard what Gu Yan said.

"Looking back at the adults, the villain's last name is Sun, and his single name is Tao."

Gu Yan nodded and then handed him the banknote.

Sun Tao breathed a long sigh of relief after taking the banknote. Just lose some money. The house was finally sold, and he was relieved of his worries.

After Gu Yan handed the banknote to Sun Tao, he took Lin Qingshang out directly.

"Boss Sun, please clean the house today and I will move here tomorrow."

Sun Tao nodded. Seeing that Gu Yan was about to leave, he quickly followed behind him and left.

"Qing Shang, you go home and tidy up first. I'll go to the Demon Slayer Division headquarters."

Lin Qingshang glared at Gu Yan

"What? Do you want to escape?"

Seeing that Lin Qingshang saw through his thoughts, Gu Yan chuckled and said

"I'll go to the headquarters to find Mr. Fang and ask him to write a plaque for our new home. When I'm done, I'll come back and pack my luggage with you."

Lin Qingshang waved his hand, turned around and walked home.

“Go early and come back early”

Gu Yan did not go directly to buy the plaque, but went directly to the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Division.

Not everyone can come to the headquarters of the Demon Slaying Division. The highest combat power within the division is within this headquarters, and the Martial Immortal Shen Tongxuan is stationed here.

When Gu Yan came to the gate, he was immediately shocked. The guards at the gate were actually Xuan-level demon-slayers.

If he hadn't advanced to the sea-viewing realm, he would only be able to look at the gate when he came to the headquarters. No wonder the headquarters never directly recruits new people.

Then he took out the token with a complicated expression and handed it to the guard. The two guards looked at Gu Yan's complicated expression with puzzled expressions. After checking, they let him in.

After entering, Gu Yan went straight to the Demon Slaying Hall.

After arriving at the palace, I saw that the person sitting at the top was not Fang Ying.

Gu Yan took a deep breath when he saw that person.

He felt that the person sitting there was not alone.

But an immortal!
