I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 218: The Deal

Jia Chen’s expression changed.

The fat man’s face turned slightly embarrassed, with a hint of shame from having his intentions exposed.

Zhang Yuan was furious: "Do you really intend to breach the contract?"

This tiger hasn’t shown its might, and now they’re treating him like a sickly cat!

Jia Chen was instantly flustered.

The killing intent Zhang Yuan revealed in that moment made him feel as if he were facing a fierce beast that was ready to devour a person.

He nearly wet his pants on the spot!

He quickly explained: "Lord Guardian, I mean no offense, please listen to my explanation!"

Zhang Yuan coldly chuckled: "Speak."

Jia Chen, as if granted amnesty, swallowed his saliva and hastily explained his situation in detail.

Jia Chen, Landlord Jia, is the head of the Jia Family.

The Jia Family has resided in the Xia Ruins for generations, accumulating some family assets through years of hard work.

In Jia Chen’s generation, the family owns two houses and three shops in Ruins City, as well as a farmhouse and several hundred acres of fertile land in the Outer Ruins.

Although such family assets don’t rank in the Xia Ruins.

They are still abundant and solid, sufficient for a few generations to live a leisurely and worry-free life.

However, Jia Chen has an unfilial son!

Jia Chen’s son has been combative and contentious since childhood, constantly causing trouble.

He has no idea how many times he’s cleaned up after him.

The problem is that Jia Chen can handle most minor issues.

But his rebellious son provoked the Martial Power Sect!

Despite Jia Chen using all his connections and spending a large sum of gold and silver, he couldn’t resolve the trouble.

Left with no choice, the family was forced to leave Ruins City and hide in the farmhouse outside.

But the Martial Power Sect wouldn’t let it go.

In order to calm down the other’s anger.

Jia Chen planned to sell the shops in the city and gather some silver taels for the Martial Power Sect.

"Lord Guardian, I dare not breach the contract; I just want to ask you to mediate."

Jia Chen solemnly said, "As long as peace and safety are assured, I am willing to give this house to you for free!"

So that’s it!

Zhang Yuan finally understood his intentions.

Jia Chen is a smart man.

He is willing to spend money to avoid disaster but fears that the Martial Power Sect will exploit him to the bone, not stopping until the Jia Family is drained dry.

So he wants Zhang Yuan, the Celestial King Hall’s Protector, to negotiate with the Martial Power Sect.

While the Martial Power Sect is unscrupulous with Jia Family, it’s a different story facing the Celestial King Hall!

Of course, Zhang Yuan wouldn’t work for nothing.

The house he’s living in isn’t cheap, something an ordinary family couldn’t afford even after three generations of hard work.

Zhang Yuan thought for a while and said, "I won’t get involved."

He’s merely an Outer Hall Guardian, and his time at the Xia Ruins is short, lacking connections.

Except for Daoist Xuan Cheng.

The problem is, Zhang Yuan already owes Xuan Cheng a great favor.

How could he possibly ask him for another favor on this matter!

Most importantly, when he rented the house previously, the Martial Power Sect showed Zhang Yuan, the Outer Guardian, some face.

According to martial arts world rules, he also couldn’t embarrass them.

Upon hearing Zhang Yuan’s answer, Jia Chen showed a disappointed look and said with a wry smile: "I was presumptuous."

He planned to take his leave.

"Don’t rush."

Zhang Yuan raised a hand and said, "I’ll take your house."

Jia Chen’s eye twitched slightly, and his hands involuntarily trembled: "Protector Zhao..."

He thought Zhang Yuan was about to seize it forcefully, unexpectedly inviting the wolf before, he now faced the tiger.

Regret surged in his heart to the extreme!

Zhang Yuan laughed and said, "But I won’t take it for free!"

The plan Zhang Yuan proposed was for Jia Chen to go to Changshun Teahouse to find a person named Wang Xingyang.

Then, have Wang Xingyang invite someone in the Celestial King Hall willing to help the Jia Family mediate with the Martial Power Sect.

Upon hearing this, Jia Chen couldn’t help but say: "But I don’t have such influence!"

"Listen till I finish."

Zhang Yuan continued, "Once it succeeds, the mediator can receive fifty Daoist Merit, and Wang Xingyang gets three Daoist Merit!"

And these fifty-three Daoist Merit, of course, will be paid by Zhang Yuan!

Of course, he wouldn’t do charity.

Jia Chen will need to give up this house.

After exchanging the General-Slaying Saber, Zhang Yuan currently has fifty-three Daoist Merit.

His intention is to use this Daoist Merit for the house.

Without getting involved in trouble!

Zhang Yuan added, "If no one is willing, then forget it, I’ll stay here for a year and leave."

He is quite satisfied with living in this house.

If he could acquire it in such a manner, it wouldn’t be a loss.

Let’s say nothing goes through.

Anyway, Zhang Yuan loses nothing.

Jia Chen was stunned for a moment, then performed a deep bow to Zhang Yuan: "Thank you, sir!"

No matter if it succeeds or not, Zhang Yuan has indicated a path to him.

Jia Chen must be grateful!

"No need to thank me."

Zhang Yuan nodded, "The rest depends on you, and I’ll keep this Daoist Merit for you, waiting for your news."

Jia Chen thanked him again, then hurriedly left.

In the evening, Jia Chen sent someone to visit again.

Besides delivering a generous gift.

This Landlord Jia also sent a message saying Wang Xingyang had already accepted the commission.

He asked Zhang Yuan to keep the Daoist Merit.

Zhang Yuan naturally agreed.

Three days later, Jia Chen appeared at Zhang Yuan’s door, beaming.

The landlord was almost impatiently requesting Zhang Yuan to go to the Celestial King Hall to complete the final transaction.

Zhang Yuan readily agreed.

Honestly, when he proposed this solution, he had no confidence.

He merely held a try-and-see mentality.

Unexpectedly, it succeeded!

This also indicates that the Daoist Merit of the Celestial King Hall is more valuable than Zhang Yuan estimated.

In the Outer Hall of the Celestial King Hall.

Zhang Yuan transferred his fifty-three Daoist Merit to an Outer Hall Guardian named Han Zixun.

The said Han Zixun was around thirty years old, quite handsome, with a debonair demeanor, revealing a rich idleman’s languid air in his mannerisms.

Although both were Outer Hall Guardians, Zhang Yuan met him for the first time.

During the previous Guardian monthly meeting, this person was absent.

After completing the transaction, Han Zixun smiled and said, "Protector Zhao, if there’s another good deal like this, just come to me directly next time, save the broker fee."

The broker fee is the intermediary fee paid to the broker.

Zhang Yuan chuckled, "Certainly!"

This world seems to have no concept of "jumping orders."

Han Zixun indeed left Zhang Yuan with contact information.

Then Zhang Yuan took the title deed Jia Chen gave him, reestablished it in the Outer Hall.

Formally assigning the house he currently resides in under his name!

The Xia Ruins has no Government Office.

The governance of this borderland city falls to various sects, gangs, and family forces.

And the Xia Ruins maintain such long-term stability due to an internal balancing mechanism.

The Celestial King Hall plays a very important role in this!

For instance, this title deed involves the Celestial King Hall in related matters and gains recognition and support from all forces.

Which effectively substitutes the responsibilities and powers of a Government Office.

As such, Zhang Yuan now truly owns a home in the Xia Ruins!
