I Have Unparalleled Comprehension

Take Over! Must Take Over!

As soon as he said this, Lin Song’s expression stiffened, as if he had eaten a fly.

The backyard again!

He still remembered that the few buyers had entered the backyard and left for no reason. They had even forgotten about buying the bodyguard agency.

What was even more ridiculous was that they no longer had the intention to buy it.

“It’s already so cheap. You can’t find such a good house anywhere with 20 taels of silver. Even buying a piece of land is considered cheap. Brother Xu…” Lin Song wanted to persuade Xu Bai to give up on his idea.

However, he was interrupted halfway by Xu Bai.

“I have to understand the backyard of the bodyguard agency,” Xu Bai said concisely.

When Lin Song heard this, he became dejected. His hands hung by his sides, and his mental state became worse.

“Okay, I’ll show you.”

In his opinion, he still could not do this business.

“Brother Xu, I won’t be joining, then.” Liu Er was a little timid and didn’t dare to follow.

Xu Bai waved his hand.

It didn’t matter if the others went or not. He wanted to see what was going on in the backyard.

If it was dangerous, he would just slip away.

Although buying an escort agency for 20 taels of silver was a good deal, it was not worth the risk.

Under Lin Song’s lead, the two of them passed through a road and arrived at the backyard.

The backyard was extremely wide, with only a few houses.

The bodyguards were all locals, and no one lived in these houses.

Many bodyguards did not even come to the backyard. After all, they had no business here. For example, Xu Bai, who had been at the bodyguard agency previously, had never come.

The houses and backyard looked ordinary. The tree in the middle was the most eye-catching.

When Xu Bai looked over, he felt his head grow heavy.

Immediately after, the Genuine Inner Force in his body began to circulate, and the dizziness disappeared.

Next, Xu Bai knew that he had to buy this bodyguard agency.

A golden progress bar floated quietly on the lonely tree.

When the woman knotted the rope with her tongue, the man knew he had to marry this woman.

At this moment, Xu Bai also knew that he had to buy the bodyguard agency.

It was none other than for this golden progress bar.

This trip was worth it.

Xu Bai thought for a moment and walked over.

Lin Song followed behind with an excited expression.

For the first time, there was no abnormality.

He could sell it this time!

“Brother Xu, what are you doing?” Lin Song was so excited that he did not notice Xu Bai walking to the tree.

“I’m just looking.” Xu Bai looked straight at the tree trunk.

There were fuzzy patterns on the tree trunk. It looked no different from an ordinary tree.

“That’s strange. Why did it trigger the progress bar?” Xu Bai thought to himself.

“Brother Xu! Let’s quickly sign the contract!” Lin Song walked forward and said excitedly.

It wasn’t easy for him to meet someone who wasn’t turned away the moment they saw the backyard. He couldn’t let the person escape.

20 taels it was. When the time came, he could leave Sheng County and do some small business.

After this whole strange matter, he didn’t want to stay here any longer.

“Has this tree always been here?” Xu Bai asked.

“Ever since my father bought this piece of land, it has been here. I heard that a woman planted it here back then. It was also that woman who sold it to my father.” Lin Song thought for a moment and told him what had happened.

A woman?

Planted the tree?

Xu Bai raised his head and looked at the lush branches.

This was a locust tree.

There was something good about planting locust trees at home.

Locust trees are yin and can nourish the soul.

Yin and Yang were always balanced. If Yin was flourishing, Yang would decline. If Yang was flourishing, Yin would decline. If he wanted to plant a locust tree, unless the Yang Qi of his family’s Yang residence could exceed the Yin Qi of the locust tree, it would produce a strange effect.

“Oh right, I remember now.” Lin Song patted his head and said, “This woman was originally a courtesan from another county. Later, for some reason, she came to Sheng County. At that time, when she was selling the house, she paid and signed a contract. The woman asked my father to come back in a month. In the end, when he came, there was no one.”

“You’ve already paid, and you were still asked to wait for a month?” Xu Bai frowned. “How can there be such a thing?”

“Who asked her to be so cheap…” Lin Song scratched his head.

In this world, there were two things that could not be rejected.

—Freeloading and discounts.

Especially when it came to big discounts.

“Alright, let’s sign the contract,” Xu Bai said.

He didn’t ask any more questions because he wouldn’t get anything out of him.

Lin Song finally heaved a sigh of relief and quickly brought over the contract. The two of them signed the contract and went through the proper process before everything was settled.

During this time, Xu Bai asked Lin Song where he was going, and Lin Song said that he wanted to leave Sheng County immediately.

After signing the contract, Lin Song left.

When Xu Bai returned home, he moved the things from his old house over.

Of course, he was not the only one doing the moving. The bodyguards were also helping.

This group of bodyguards and Liu Er had the same thought. With Xu Bai here, they had the mentality of following the strong.

Xu Bai did not dismiss them.

He had taken over the bodyguard agency only to exchange for copper coins.

But now, there was another target. The tree in the backyard.

As for the rest, he did not want to care about them for the time being.

Running a bodyguard agency?

He wasn’t interested in doing that.

But the bodyguards could not be dismissed.

Now that he had the bodyguard agency as cover, he could not be bothered to find anything else.

As for the matter of the bodyguards’ salary, although he still had a lot of silver left, he could not waste it casually.

What’s more, he had to find a way to dispel the doubts of those with ulterior motives, such as why a former bodyguard could fork out so much money to buy the bodyguard agency.

These were all problems.

Next, it was time to solve these problems.

“Brother Xu, everything has been moved. Is there anything else we need to do?” Liu Er wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked.

Xu Bai smiled. “Call all the brothers over. I have something to say.”

“Alright.” Liu Er did not suspect anything and left quickly.

After a while, all the bodyguards of the bodyguard agency gathered together and looked at Xu Bai eagerly.

They didn’t dare to speak. They just watched.

Xu Bai carried the small stool he bought from the stall and sat at the entrance of the largest house.

It had to be said that this handmade stool was very comfortable to sit in.

“Everyone, the share of money you got from the Raging Tiger Bandits hasn’t been used yet, right?” Xu Bai sat on the small stool with his hands on his knees, looking very lazy.

The bodyguards stiffened. They looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

Not only was it still unused, but it was also hidden by them.

It was not that they did not want to use it, but they did not dare to.

They were afraid that they would arouse suspicion if they used this extra sum of money.

It was fine for one person to use it, but it was ridiculous for a group of people to use it.

After all, what they did could not be spread.

As a bodyguard, they had split the escorted goods among themselves. If others were to know, it would definitely not be good.

People who broke the rules were not welcome anywhere.

Hence, they did not dare to touch that sum of money.

“Brothers, your family backgrounds are average. It’s not a good thing that you can’t use your money. That’s why I specially bought this bodyguard agency and give you a good idea,” Xu Bai said with a smile.

The bodyguards shuddered in unison.

This smile was exactly the same as when the one he’d shown in the Raging Tiger Bandits.

In front of the Raging Tiger Bandits, Xu Bai smiled. They had all boarded the ship, but they were still unable to return.

Now, Xu Bai was smiling again. They felt their hair stand on end, and some of their faces turned pale.

“I can see from everyone’s expressions that you’re all very happy. In that case, I’ll be straightforward.” Xu Bai, who had once again redefined happiness, pointed at the house behind him and said slowly.
