Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World - Chapter 335 - 166 New Neighbor Ma Xiaoqiu_3

“Our master isn’t home. Daoist Ma, please come back another day,” came the cool voice of Liu Emei from inside.

“Huh? Whose sister is this? If your master isn’t home, may I come in and wait? I’m Ma Xiaoqiu’s brother, not a bad guy,” Ma Huantian continued to pester.

“No.” Liu Emei immediately closed the Array Method, preventing any sound from coming in.

“Sister! Just let me come in. I know I made mistakes. Don’t you care about your indebtedness to the Ma family who took you in and raised you?”

Seeing that Liu Emei wasn’t giving him a chance, Ma Huantian once again pleaded with Ma Xiaoqiu directly.

“Get lost!” Ma Xiaoqiu huffed coldly and went back to Xiao Qiu peak.

When Chen Yi came back, the sight that greeted him was a man pitifully begging to meet someone outside of Xiao Qiu peak and Little Cold Peak.

He immediately knew this person was Ma Xiaoqiu’s brother. But it seems that there were some discrepancies from what Manager Ling told him?

He thought that this third peak might be taken over by this person, but it seems there might be a turn of events?

“Are you the new master of this Little Cold Peak, Daoist Chen?”

Just as Chen Yi was about to return home, he was stopped by Ma Huantian.

“It’s me. What can I do for you?”

Chen Yi, sensing that this man shares the same Foundation Establishment cultivation level and is Ma Xiaoqiu’s brother, politely responded.

“Nice to meet you, Daoist Chen. I’m Ma Xiaoqiu’s brother next door, and I want to rent this third peak. I just need your consent, and we’ll be neighbors from then on.”

Ma Huantian, like a man grabbing at a lifesaving straw, made to fly over and enter the peak with Chen Yi when he saw him.

“Did Daoist Xiao Qiu agree to this?”

“She’s my adopted sister. Of course, she wouldn’t refuse.”

Outside, Ma Xiaoqiu’s voice suddenly rang out, “Daoist Chen, don’t give any attention to him. I won’t agree to let him rent the third peak.”

Hearing this, Chen Yi gave a slight smile. “I’m sorry.” Without another word, he turned and flew back home, leaving behind an embarrassed Ma Huantian.

After he returned, Liu Emei gave Chen Yi a simple rundown of the situation. Chen Yi exchanged opinions with Ma Xiaoqiu via a message.

In the end, Ma Xiaoqiu agreed that the third peak would be rented by Chen Yi who would let Liu Emei cultivate there on usual days,

And the rent of 2,000 spirit stones a year would be paid by Chen Yi giving 1,300 spirit stones and Ma Xiaoqiu contributing 700.

“I’m sorry, Daoist. Chen Yi and Daoist Xiao Qiu have discussed this. The third peak has been rented to my sister, Liu Emei,

We have already reported this matter to Manager Ling.”

Several days later, a persistent Ma Huantian arrived at Little Cold Peak again to seek an audience,

After Chen Yi came out, he gave him this response.

Ma Huantian’s face showed awkwardness. In these days, he had tried to pester Ma Xiaoqiu several times but was kicked out each time. Once he tried to forcefully break through the Array Method. He ended up getting a thrashing from the defensive puppet,

Now, Ma Huantian had several bruises on his face. He gave Chen Yi a wry smile.

“If the third peak is rented to Daoist Chen’s servant girl, I suppose I can rest easy.

Daoist, you may not know this, but Xiao Qiu is betrothed to my family as a child-bride. Only, there was a misunderstanding.

Now, I just want to come and clear the misunderstanding, which will take some time,

I’ve heard about you, Daoist Chen. You are an old man in his sixties who has reached Foundation Establishment, single-mindedly pursuing the Dao, and uninterested in women. Please keep an eye on Xiao Qiu, and once I reconcile with her, I’ll definitely pay a visit.”

I am indeed single-mindedly pursuing the Dao, but who told you I’m not interested in women?

Even though I’m nearly 70 years old, I’m strong enough to knock out a Core Formation female big shot!

Chen Yi thought to himself. Nevertheless, he didn’t object. Indeed, he had never actively pursued any female cultivator; they had all pursued him.

As long as Ma Xiaoqiu didn’t proactively approach him, Chen Yi wouldn’t unnecessarily add more karmic ties to his own path to the Dao.
