Divine War Pill Emperor

Following Mr. Lin, Jiang Chen and his companions soon arrived at the manor.

The moment he stepped inside, Jiang Chen could tell the environment was elegant and refined. The location was also excellent, situated near the center of Gambling City.

The house even had a north-south orientation.

Jiang Chen was very satisfied.

"Please,"

Mr. Lin politely guided Jiang Chen and his companions.

After all, Jiang Chen was the client about to purchase the manor, so Mr. Lin was naturally friendly.

"May I look around?"

Jiang Chen asked. While he was quite pleased with the atmosphere, he wanted to examine the layout in detail and even look for potential flaws.

The owner was clearly in a hurry to sell, which made Jiang Chen worry that there might be a hidden problem.

He needed to conduct a thorough inspection of the manor.

"Of course. Please, Young Master Jiang, look wherever you wish."

Mr. Lin didn’t try to stop them, letting Jiang Chen’s group look around on their own with an air of confidence.

"Thank you."

"Then I’ll take a look around."

Jiang Chen said to Mr. Lin.

He then led Zhan Yang and the others to inspect the various areas.

"Keep your eyes peeled for any potential problems,"

Jiang Chen instructed them.

"No problem."

"We love nitpicking."

Zhan Yang laughed heartily.

Even though he wasn’t the one buying the manor, he was quite enthusiastic about the task.

JinLing skipped along, looking even more cheerful.

She grinned and asked, "Jiang Chen, does this mean we can move into your manor with you?"

Zhan Yang quickly tried to stop his sister. This was Jiang Chen’s manor, after all; how could they have the nerve to impose like that?

But JinLing had already spoken.

But Jiang Chen just laughed heartily. "What are you saying? From now on, this manor will be the headquarters for our Warring States Mercenary Corps."

"We’ll all move in together."

What?

Hearing Jiang Chen’s words, Zhan Yang, JinLing, Niu Tuo, and Lu Beifeng all stared with their mouths agape in astonishment.

"Really?"

JinLing, ever the imp, widened her sparkling eyes and blinked adorably.

"Absolutely."

Jiang Chen already considered Zhan Yang and the others to be his friends, so he naturally wouldn’t mind them moving in.

Besides, he was now a member of the Warring States Mercenary Corps himself.

Plus, he wasn’t short on money.

A manor this large could house dozens of people, so it made no difference whether he lived in it alone or with others.

Of course, when you’re rich, you can be capricious. It can’t be helped.

Jiang Chen was the type of person who returned sincerity with sincerity.

"Is that really okay?"

Zhan Yang looked embarrassed.

"It’s fine. We’re all on the same team, so don’t stand on ceremony."

"In the future, our Warring States Mercenary Corps will grow and expand. We’ll need to recruit more talent, and for that, we’ll need a headquarters, right?"

"This place will be our headquarters."

Seeing how insistent Jiang Chen was, Zhan Yang and the others stopped protesting.

"Alright, then. Thanks to you, we’ll get to live in a manor."

"There are plenty of rooms here, anyway."

The group continued their inspection of the manor.

For the most part, they were very satisfied.

Meanwhile, Mr. Lin watched Jiang Chen’s group go off to inspect the manor.

He immediately summoned an attendant and ordered, "Don’t let them go near the West Wing Courtyard."

The attendant acknowledged the order and departed at once.

Mr. Lin walked to a pavilion within the manor. As a cool breeze drifted past, a sharp glint filled his eyes.

’The Lin Family’s Ten Directions Calculation... this time, I will get my hands on it.’

’Heh, as long as my dear nephew Lin Yuan obediently hands it over, I’ll become a peerless master and be unrivaled in this world.’

Soon, Jiang Chen and his group had inspected nearly the entire manor.

"Yes, this manor is exactly what I was looking for."

Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction.

"Help..."

"Let us out!"

"Lin Ying, you bastard! You killed your own brother, and now you’re trying to kill your nephew! You’ll die a miserable death!"

Just as Jiang Chen’s group was about to leave,

a series of desperate cries for help and furious curses suddenly erupted from the courtyard of the West Wing, an area they had just passed.

"Huh? What’s going on? Is someone crying for help from that courtyard?"

JinLing exclaimed in surprise.

She listened carefully for a moment, her brow furrowing slightly.

The others had heard the shouts as well.

They were all perplexed.

Something was clearly happening inside the manor.

Jiang Chen was puzzled too, but he had no intention of being a busybody.

After all, he didn’t want to invite trouble.

After a moment of silence, JinLing spoke up again. "Does anyone else think that voice... sounds familiar?"

The others looked blank.

They couldn’t place it at all.

While Martial Cultivators had excellent memories, they didn’t pay attention to every single sound, focusing only on committing important things to memory.

None of the others had any recollection of this voice.

"Are you sure you’re not mistaken?"

Lu Beifeng was incredulous. How could they possibly run into an acquaintance in this unfamiliar manor?

"Should we go in and take a look?"

Jiang Chen suggested suddenly, though he was just as confused.

They were supposed to be inspecting the property, after all. It wouldn’t be a big deal if they "accidentally" wandered in there.

"Good idea."

The five of them immediately prepared to head straight for the West Wing Courtyard.

"Wait."

Suddenly, several men who looked like manor guards appeared from the side of the courtyard.

They quickly moved to block Jiang Chen’s group.

"Honored guests, we have a couple of madmen from the estate locked in this courtyard. It really isn’t a suitable place for you to enter."

"Please head back. Our Manor Master is waiting for you."

The guards were still very polite.

However, their stance was clear: they would not let Jiang Chen and his companions enter the West Wing Courtyard.

Jiang Chen fell silent for a moment.

Then he spoke. "We’ve been everywhere else, but we haven’t seen the West Wing Courtyard yet. Since I’m planning to buy the whole manor, I should at least be able to take a look inside, right?"

He had only decided to press the issue after JinLing mentioned the voice sounded familiar.

In truth, the West Wing Courtyard wasn’t very large—just a few buildings.

They could see most of it from the outside, which is why he hadn’t planned on entering before.

But now, his curiosity was piqued.

"Exactly," JinLing chimed in, "we just want to take a look. We won’t get in your way."

She couldn’t stop wondering whose voice it was.

It was so familiar.

But since no one else recognized it, she started to wonder if she was mistaken.

Still, the doubt lingered.

The guards, however, were clearly losing their patience.

"Everyone, the West Wing Courtyard is only this big, and as we said, it’s really not convenient for you to enter."

"If you must, please come back tomorrow."

"We’ll be packing up today. The official handover is tomorrow. Once you move in, you can look anywhere you please."

"Now, please!"

The guards were adamant about not letting them enter the West Wing Courtyard.

JinLing grew anxious.

But there was nothing she could do.

Finally, Jiang Chen waved his hand. "Forget it. We’ve seen most of it anyway. There’s nothing left to see."

"Let’s go find Mr. Lin."

"We need to discuss purchasing the manor."

Jiang Chen decided to let the matter drop for now.

He led Zhan Yang and the others, turning to head back.

Only JinLing remained deep in thought, as if determined to get to the bottom of it.
