Chapter 147 The Tower Near the Water
Yes, you don’t have to use it directly. It’s always okay to lend him some of it as an emergency measure.
Niwa stood up and walked towards Cheng Yan, saying, "Brother, I don't know your name yet?"
"My name is Cheng Yan. Are you willing to use my money?"
Dan Yu was choked by Cheng Yan's words, "Brother Cheng Yan, can I have a word with you for a moment?"
He met the gaze of the curious person and said, "Aqi, go to the house and rest for a while."
The boy with skin as white as snow nodded and left with a bunch of his small items.
"Hey, can't he listen? Let him stay."
"Archie doesn't understand this."
"He can understand. Let him talk to me."
Niwa's face was serious. "If your purpose in helping us is to get Aqi, we would rather not continue to run this sword forging shop."
Cheng Yan was unable to stop the curious person from leaving, and followed Niwa and sat at a table.
"What do you think of me? I just want to get to know him. I won't bully him."
Danyu poured tea for Cheng Yan, "Aqi is simple-minded and doesn't understand these things. Brother Cheng Yan, just talk to me."
Seeing Danyu's stubbornness, Cheng Yan spread his hands and said, "Okay, let's start the discussion. Is this money enough for you?"
As he said this, he placed a thick stack of banknotes on the table, which made Changzheng and Guimu stare in amazement.
"Wow, that's a lot of money."
Niwa coughed lightly.
"Brother Cheng Yan, we appreciate your kindness, and I won't be polite with you. We really need money. Even if this money is a loan from the Ta'er Blade Forge, we will definitely return it to you with interest when our funds are fully utilized."
Cheng Yan wanted to say that they didn't have to pay it back, but when he saw Danyu's serious expression, he knew that if he didn't ask them to pay it back, they might not accept his help.
"No problem, just use it." He was about to stand up and look for the curious one.
Niwa held him back and said, "Brother Cheng Yan, let me draft a contract. If you have read it and see if there is any problem, just sign it. We will follow the process."
"It's up to you... By the way, can you arrange a room for me here? I don't have a place to live yet."
Now that I have a reason to stay here, I can observe my target more closely.
"Of course, Guimu, you take brother Cheng Yan with you."
"okay."
Following Gui Mu in the corridor outside, Cheng Yan looked at him and spoke tentatively.
"Brother Guimu, where does Aqi live?"
Gui Mu was not too wary of the generous young man in front of him and answered decisively.
"Archie lives here too, on the second floor, pretty close to the room I'm going to take you to."
Cheng Yan controlled the corners of his mouth from curling up too much. Since he was close to the water, wouldn't there be more opportunities for contact?
"Then can I ask about everyone's preferences? Are there any taboos?"
Katsuragi paused for a moment, as if thinking for a moment before speaking.
"If you have time, spend more time with Aqi... No, forget it. We don't have any taboos. Just don't go into the field if you are not familiar with sword forging. It's quite dangerous."
Gui Mu looked at Cheng Yan and swallowed the words he was about to say.
He couldn't tell him about Archie.
Closing his eyes to hide his emotions, Guimu thought of the gold ornament he found on Aqi. Aqi's identity must not be known to others. If the identity of a simple person who is neither human nor object is discovered, no one knows how to deal with him.
Perhaps it is his identity as neither human nor object that has brought Aqi so many troubles. Although he has an ability to resonate with the sword that is beyond ordinary people, Aqi's temperament is not suitable for getting along with other people except himself and Niwa, and he is too easy to be exploited.
Guimu clenched his fists. He would not let anyone discover Aqi's identity.
When they reached the second floor, their footsteps were heard by people inside the house.
The sound of running was heard, the door was pushed open, and Archie's little face appeared.
"Katsuragi, I knew it..."
"boom!"
The smile on his face disappeared immediately after he saw Cheng Yan behind Guimu, and Aqi slammed the door shut.
Cheng Yan was just raising his hand to greet him in a good mood, but he scratched his nose at his obvious disgust.
"Archie, I'll call you for dinner later."
"Okay..." A muffled response came from inside the house.
Gui Mu turned around and smiled shyly at Cheng Yan, "Your room is in front."
After taking Cheng Yan over, Gui Mu explained some precautions about living there and was about to leave. Cheng Yan quickly held him back.
"By the way, can I ask Archie if there's anything he likes?"
Judging from the situation just now, the other person doesn't like me very much.
"Well... As for Archie, he really likes drinking tea, one cup after another, as if he never gets tired of it."
Cheng Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Tea, I understand, anything else?"
Gui Mu was startled by Cheng Yan's sudden perk up, "Well, I can't remember it right now. You'll know after you spend some time with Aqi."
Seeing Cheng Yan looking like he was thinking seriously, Gui Mu pushed the door and left the room.
He had mixed feelings. He should be happy that someone wanted to be friends with Aqi, but when he thought of Aqi's identity that was difficult for ordinary people to accept, Guimu started to have a headache again.
"Forget it. I always feel that Brother Cheng Yan is... different from others."
