As soon as Qu Jianlei heard "spend money," he immediately shook his head. Now, just thinking about silver coins gave him a headache. Flower Scorpion straightforwardly said, "We trust you." Houses in the suburbs aren’t cheap. A decent house with a yard costs as much as thirty silver coins a month. Bentley remarked that this was normal, "These kinds of houses are usually rented with others, so splitting the cost makes it not so expensive..." "If it were in the city, this kind of house would cost at least one hundred and fifty, and the most expensive ones can go up to four or five hundred!" "Is this what you call a low cost of living?" Qu Jianlei couldn’t help but retort, "That’s enough to buy a house in Zhou Six’s affluent area!" "But this is Houjing in the Celestial District!" Bentley sighed with some reluctance, "How could renting a yard be cheap in the city?" However, speaking of necessities, renting an entire yard was essential for them; sharing was out of the question. In the end, Bentley picked a relatively luxurious yard, and the price was quite touching — sixty a month! But he had his reasons, "It’s relatively secluded here, offering good privacy, which is convenient for cultivation."

"When they find out we can afford to rent such a house, even if they plan something, they’ll have to think twice." "Alright then," Qu Jianlei weakly agreed, mostly because the old man had a good point. "But going forward, the job of making money will be on you." He wasn’t worried at all about the old man making money. Otherwise, how could he have accumulated such wealth? Previously, it was just that revenge seemed hopeless and the old man was gradually aging, hence choosing to hide in Zhou Six to spend his remaining years. "I’m already old; of course, the money-making is your responsibility," Bentley casually replied. "That’s not appropriate," Qu Jianlei stated sternly, "I have a lot on my plate... Don’t you both want to obtain the cultivation method?" "I can go earn money," Flower Scorpion immediately volunteered. However, despite her willingness, she had to face a reality, "But I have no way to earn big money." As an elite-level Hunter, she usually wasn’t short on cash; she could take a few side jobs when free. Yet, the expenses here in Houjing were overwhelmingly high, making her scalp tingle. With her earning speed in the Hong District, after working hard for a month, she might not even cover the rent of the small yard. Qu Jianlei looked silently at the old man, "It’s not hard to introduce some money-making avenues, right?" Being newcomers to the Celestial District, having someone familiar to guide them could avoid many detours. "Yellow Scorpion is responsible for early warnings and security. How could she go out to work?" Bentley casually responded. Qu Jianlei gave him a slight glance, saying nothing. Bentley felt an ache in his heart from that glance and volunteered. "Alright, I’ll arrange the money-making avenues. If it really doesn’t work, I’ll cover it first." That night passed without a word, and the next morning, after breakfast, Bentley went out on his own. Qu Jianlei and Flower Scorpion practiced posture stances and punches, training for over two hours before stopping. As the weather started to warm up, they worked up a sweat, yet thankfully, the rented house didn’t lack bathing facilities. Without such facilities, how could they dare to rent at such a high price? After a simple wash, Flower Scorpion actively sought out Qu Jianlei, "Can we start trying cultivation now?" Qu Jianlei looked at her with resignation, "We barely have any resources, and besides, the old man will definitely not let you start first." Flower Scorpion was eager to push forward, "His cultivation technique is an improvement; my cultivation is brand new..." "If I’m not mistaken, is reform not harder than planning anew?" "You dare dream," Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes at her, "Designing a cultivation method for you is like feeling stones to cross the river; there must be a reference."
