Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Chapter 978: 978 chapters Expropriation Chapter 978: 978 chapters Expropriation The willows were lush, the alleyway serene.

Passing through the lengthy alley, Wang Chen arrived at the gate of a residence.

After leaving the Yiluan External Affairs Office, Wang Chen first returned to the inn he was staying at. After changing into casual clothes, he followed the address on a deed to find the house before him.

Initially, he had taken the hidden treasures from the Anyang Ling Family’s secret chamber, which included several property deeds of Daye.

With new Taoist skills refined, the accommodations at the inn became inconvenient. Thus, Wang Chen pulled out a deed from his storage space as a means to find himself a new foothold.

However, the couplets pasted on both sides of the gate made him frown involuntarily.

Yet the relatively new couplets indicated that someone seemed to be living inside!

After some thought, Wang Chen stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker.

“Who’s there?”

After a short while, the gate creaked open, and a head peeked out from inside.

The person was dressed in bluish-gray servant’s clothes. Upon seeing Wang Chen, he immediately scowled and demanded, “What youngster is this, knocking haphazardly, disturbing my master’s nap? Can you afford the consequences?”
