Li Xin continued walking, occasionally stopping at several shops along the roadside just to ask about empty houses.
"An empty house? You're an outsider? Have you already received a residence permit from Master Tong?"
"I haven't received it yet… but he's going to give it to me…"
"Li Xin!"
Li Xin's attention shifted to the side. A woman in the purple robes of the Baisheng Sect came toward him at a half-running pace. It was not Yu Mei, but Liu Xie.
Li Xin raised both hands in greeting and lowered his head.
"Greetings, Young Cultivator Lady."
"Do you need something from me?" Li Xin asked calmly.
Liu Xie stepped closer and tapped her bag of holding, taking out a document that turned out to be Li Xin's residence and business permit.
"You left this behind. It's important if you want to stay and open a business in the village," Liu Xie explained.
"Woah, Miss Liu Xie. How have you been? You look charming in those cultivator robes," greeted the old shop owner.
