"Xiao Fan, something doesn't feel right to me."
Lu Xueman was also slow to realize, after all, the media in this society was not well developed, and people's thoughts were relatively simple. They had very low awareness of scams.
"It's okay, we have the deed to the house, we don't need to worry about anything else."
Ye Bufan, after speaking, led the people towards the storefront.
Jiang Fangzhou strode ahead, but as soon as he stepped inside the door, an invisible force pushed him back.
He really didn't expect there to be a barrier blocking his way. Caught off guard, he fell with a thud, landing face-first on the ground.
Ye Bufan only then noticed that he hadn't used his spiritual sense on this street before. Otherwise, the mess of information would be too much for his brain to handle.
Upon looking back, I realized that the entire shop was shrouded in a hidden, intangible barrier. Even if one didn't understand formations, even a powerhouse at the Void-Aperture stage would probably not be able to detect it.
"Master Ye, what is this? Is this a formation?"
Jiang Fangzhou climbed up from the ground, covered in dirt and dust. The people around him didn't seem surprised at all, as if this was something they had expected.
Ye Bufan understood a little. No wonder the other party sold it so cheaply, it turned out they had tampered with it here.
But such a simple prohibition couldn't stop him. He raised his hand, ready to break it. At this moment, a kind old man walked over from the side.
"Young people, this can't be touched. Once you touch it, you'll be in big trouble."
Jiang Fangzhou said, "We've already bought this house, why can't we touch it?"
<"You can't say something that will get you hurt if you touch it!"">
The old man shook his head after speaking, sighed, and walked to the side. He obviously didn't dare to get too involved.
Ye Bufan simply ignored them. He didn't care what schemes they had up their sleeves.
He kicked out with his leg, and with a crack, the barrier shattered instantly. Then, he led everyone inside.
The storefront is very spacious and decorated very elegantly.
Ye Bufan nodded in satisfaction. Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones were a good price for such a large courtyard.
Jiang Fangzhou pointed at the backyard and said, "Those monsters are so pretty!"
Everyone followed his finger and saw three large birds standing on a rock.
This bird is completely white, but its wings are golden. It has a blue beak and looks very beautiful.
Nalan Yujia said, "This is a second-order demon beast Golden Winged Snow Sculpture. It has a gentle temperament and is not aggressive. It is often kept as a pet."
As soon as she said this, the three golden-winged snow eagles, startled, immediately took flight. Without any obstacles to hinder them, they vanished into the sky in the blink of an eye.
This thing wasn't his in the first place, so let it run if it wants to. Ye Bufan didn't care.
And at that moment, a loud shout came from outside the door: "Who broke this young master's ban, get out here!"
A hint of a smile played on Ye Bufan's lips. It seemed the true owner of this house had arrived, and rather quickly too.
He turned his head and was about to walk out the door, but now there were more than a dozen people standing here.
A young man in his twenties, dressed in fine clothes, stood with his chin held high and nose turned up, his whole demeanor radiating arrogance.
Behind him were a dozen or so slaves, each with their brows furrowed and eyes blazing with murderous intent.
These people's cultivation has already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and they are able to use such masters as servants. It seems that the other party's background is not small.
Those around had already retreated to a safe distance, wearing expressions of nonchalant amusement, as if they were accustomed to the scene before them.
Ye Bufan glanced at the young man: "Who are you? What brings you to my home?"
The young master in fine robes called out, "Boy, was it you who just broke my prohibition?"
"Yes, I did it," Ye Bufan said calmly.
The young master in fine clothes sneered, "Admitting it is good enough. You've broken my restriction, so tell me, what are you going to do about it?"

Ye Bufan ignored his topic and asked, "Was this house yours before?"
The son in fine attire hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Yes, it is this young master's."
"It's mine now."
Ye Bufan shook the property deed in his hand, "It's all clearly written on here."
"Yes, the house is sold to you, but not everything inside it."

"Are you asking me?"
Ye Bufan has basically figured out the other party's routine. They first sell the house at a very low price, and then use this invisible restriction to blackmail people.
It's obvious that this isn't the first time they've done something like this. Locals know all about it, and they specifically target outsiders.
He sneered, "It seems you've already made up your mind. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"It seems you're still quite sensible."
The man in fine clothing thought that he was intimidated, which was normal. After all, previous outsiders had acted this way too. How could an outsider possibly stand a chance against him?
It's simple, lose money!
"This prohibition, however, was arranged by a master array designer at my request. It cost me twenty thousand high-grade spirit stones, and now not one is missing. You have to pay me back for it."
Seeing this, the people around started whispering again.
This guy is getting more and more outrageous, he even doubled the price!
"You know what? I already received ten thousand high-grade spirit stones from them. If I get another twenty thousand, that'll be a total of thirty thousand…"
"This young man is way too reckless, there's no such thing as getting something for nothing..."
Those around had grown accustomed to such scenes, knowing the power and methods of the young master in fine clothes. No one thought an outsider, a young man, could escape.
Ye Bufan smiled faintly: "If I said I had no money, would I have to give you back the house?"
"The house is a given for me; it has nothing to do with compensation."
As soon as the young master in fine clothes had finished speaking, a house servant ran out from the courtyard behind him.
"Master, it's terrible! The three golden-winged snow eagles you raised have all flown away!"
The young man in fine clothes looked at Ye Bufan again: "What? You even scared away the three birds I raised?"
Ye Bufan flashed a playful smile: "That's right, those birds did fly away. Are you still going to pay up?"
Of course I have to compensate, that's a rare breed I raised from childhood, at least thirty thousand, no, fifty thousand high-grade spirit stones.
Three branches of 150,000 high-grade spirit stones, plus the previous compensation, total 170,000. Not one less!
The son of a wealthy family's eyes kept wandering over Lu Xue Man and the others, clearly the spirit stones were no longer enough to satisfy his greed, he had even developed lust for them.
<<>>
"A joke, those three birds were raised by this young master from childhood, they have a deep bond."
"Fifty thousand high-grade spirit stones is already a bargain. Believe me, I'll take one hundred thousand directly!"
Jiǎng Fāngzhòu was about to retort, but Yè Bùfán pulled him back.
"The young master is right, those three birds are indeed rare species. They look both beautiful and human-like, so a slightly higher price is understandable."
"The most important thing is to raise them from a young age, this kind of love is priceless and can't be bought with money."
"Uh..."
Jiang Fangzhou was stunned for a moment, not knowing what was wrong with his boss. Was he confused? This seemed like a blatant invitation to be blackmailed.
The elegantly dressed young master secretly regretted it. He hadn't expected to meet such a fool, who was far too easy to take advantage of.
It seems I was underpricing myself just now. I should have directly asked for 100,000 high-grade spirit stones per bird.
