Iron Stone Town, in a courtyard east of the Northern Profound Palace.

Xuan Chen stood at the front of the courtyard, looking at the tall mountains in the distance. Two bright suns hung high in the blue sky, one in the southeastern sky and one in the southern sky.

In the early morning of the early summer, the air was clear, and taking in a deep breath caused one's mind to be jolted and their thoughts to become clear. But Xuan Chen still felt as if he was in a dream. He had actually transmigrated from Earth to this mystical world where martial arts flourished.

"It seems like all of this is because of the Yin Yang Sword Seal."

Xuan Chen said to himself. He looked into the depths of his mind, and saw that his soul was in a state of nothingness. In between his brows, there was a golden Yin Yang Sword Seal, emitting a profound aura.

Xuan Chen could not help but think back to before he had transmigrated, when he had been exploring the Wu Ling Mountains, and had unintentionally barged into an ancient cave.

Inside the ancient cave, he saw two crossed ancient swords. Curious, he went forward to pull out the ancient swords, but the two ancient swords suddenly exploded with endless sword qi and he lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, Xuan Chen discovered that he had traveled to this world and possessed this body. The fifteenth year, he had been practicing martial arts since he was young, so he could be considered to have some talent. Two years ago, he had already reached the peak of the first level of the Qi Jing realm.

A month ago, bad news suddenly came. His father went to sea, the entire boat sank into the sea, and the Xuanjia also owed him a huge debt. The only industrial iron ore hill in the family was also under the control of Chief Steward Zhao Xinghua.

Zhao Xinghua ordered the blacksmith miners to strike, to the point that the Xuanjia Weapons Shop had no weapons to sell. At the edge of closing time, he used this as a threat to force her sister Xuan Qingya to marry his son, only then would she be willing to resume the forging of the weapons.

Xuan Chen was furious. He went to the mountain but was severely injured. Then, he woke up.

At this time, the sound of footsteps came from outside the courtyard.

Xuan Chen turned his head to look and saw a beautiful young maid wearing a green jacket. She walked over and said, "Young noble, breakfast is ready, young miss will treat you to dinner."

"Let's go."

Xuan Chen nodded, he then walked to the stone steps in front of the courtyard and followed the servant out of the courtyard and into the dining hall.

The Mystic Manor took up quite a bit of land, more than twenty acres of land, and was built in the style of a garden.

There used to be more than twenty servants, and the mansion could still be considered lively. But after the incident with Xuan Zhenhong, most of the servants had been dismissed, and the huge Xuanjia had become deserted.

When Xuan Chen arrived at the back of the hall, Xuan Qingya was not there.

Xuan Chen nodded and walked towards the accounts room.

Just as he walked out of the accounts room, Xuan Chen heard the crackling sounds of abacus coming from inside.

As he walked in, he saw a classical lady wearing a white silk dress sitting on an abacus with her head lowered. She had a concentrated look on her face and a hint of melancholy could be seen on her face.

Xuan Qingya raised her head, her eyebrows raised up like a painting. She smiled slightly and said gently: "Little Chen, you're here.

"Much better." Xuan Chen felt concern and warmth from his heart, and some of the estrangement in his heart also disappeared.

His rebirth had not only merged with this body's memories, but also all of his emotions. Xuan Chen changed the topic and asked: "Sis, how is the business of the weapon shop right now?"

Xuan Qingya shook her head and sighed softly: "Because the storage room is already empty and the weapons in the weapons shop are missing, it would be hard to keep the customers. Uncle Zhong recommends that we close our doors and close it for the time being, and only open our doors when we have sufficient supplies. "

"Sis, then let's close the weapon shop first. However, I believe that it won't be long before my cultivation makes a breakthrough. At that time, I will go find that old dog Zhao Xinghua for revenge and take back the iron ore hill. " Xuan Chen comforted her, his expression firm.

"Little Chen, your cultivation is about to break through?"

Xuan Qingya seemed to have noticed something, and asked in pleasant surprise. Seeing Xuan Chen nod his head, he became even happier and said: "That's great! "But your injuries are just right. Don't be in such a hurry to train, rest for a few more days …"

At this time, a clamor came from the front yard, mixed with the angry shouts of the Uncle Zhong.

Not long after, a servant rushed over and said anxiously, "Young Master, Young Miss, something bad has happened. Lord Gao brought his men to force the debt, and they even injured Butler Li. "

"What!?" "Let's go!"

Xuan Chen and Xuan Qingya looked at each other, then walked out of the accounting room and rushed to the front yard.

Master Gao's name was Gao Lin, and was Xuan Zhenhong's friend before he died. He was also the current Xuanjia's biggest creditor.

When Xuan Chen rushed to the front yard, he saw Li Zhong sitting on the ground with his right hand clutching his left chest, looking pained.

The group of five people stood opposite him, led by a thirty year old well-dressed man. His figure was somewhat fat, his ten fingers carried five jade rings of different colors, his expression arrogant and filled with disdain as he looked at Li Zhong.

Seeing Xuan Chen and Xuan Qingya walk over, Li Zhong stood up with much difficulty, and coughed: "Young Master, Young Miss. Cough, cough, cough! "

was an old man who followed beside Xuan Zhen Hong and was also Xuanjia's butler. Previously, his family's position was on par with Zhao Xinghua's, but between the two of them, she was the one in charge of the forging of weapons, while the other was the main branch.

This Li Zhong was actually very loyal, unlike Zhao Xinghua's wolfish ambition. If not for him controlling Xuan Zhen Hong from inside and outside, the Xuanjia would have already collapsed.

Xuan Qingya nodded, she turned and looked at Gao Lin and asked: "Uncle Gao, why are you here, why are you so angry?"

Gao Lin lightly snorted, and said: "I don't know how many times I have come to this Profound Palace, but this old servant actually dared to stop me. As for my purpose for coming, it's very simple. I'm here to take care of the house. "

A lean middle-aged man stood up from the left and took out a piece of paper from his bosom. He spoke to Xuan Chen and Xuan Qingya arrogantly, "Two sirs, this is the IOU that your damned father signed. He has already pledged the Profound Palace to us, Master Gao. "From today onwards, the Profound Department will belong to our Lord High Lord. Be sensible and move out before nightfall."

The skinny man raised the paper in his hand. It was Xuan Zhen Hong who had borrowed 90,000 silver from the Xuanjia Palace as collateral.

Xuan Qingya tilted her head to look at the lean man, his expression darkened, and said: "When have I ever heard of Uncle Gao being interrupted by a servant like you?"

The skinny man's expression froze as fear surfaced in his eyes. He subconsciously shrunk his neck and retracted the paper in his hand.

Gao Lin glanced at them and laughed coldly: "Could it be that all of the men from Xuanjia have died?"

His eyes looked at Xuan Chen, and his meaning was obvious. Xuan Qingya took half a step forward, wanting to protect Xuan Chen behind him.

However, Xuan Chen took a step forward and waved at Xuan Qingya. He looked at Gao Lin directly and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Gao, you and Father have been good friends for many years, I do not dare to hope that you can help us out during my Xuanjia's time of suffering. However, I hope that you will not take advantage of the situation and add insult to injury.

Give us a little time, and we'll return it to you in full. Besides, according to the date of payment, you'll have to wait until we can't pay our debts in four months. "

The Xuanjia Mansion had a history of over a hundred years, and after years of construction, it was worth more than two hundred thousand silver.

Gao Lin's face revealed an expression of surprise, he looked at him with his eyes, but Xuan Chen only looked at him with his eyes, neither servile nor overbearing.

Gao Lin laughed in disdain. "Xuan Chen, let's not talk about your Xuanjia's iron ore hill. Even if you don't, you won't be able to make it out in four months. It's the same sooner or later. "

"Whether or not I can pay it off is something that will happen in four months. At least for now, you have come early." Xuan Chen said firmly.

"Alright. "I would like to see how you will pay back your debt after four months. Let's go." Gao Lin's face became unsightly, he waved his sleeves, turned around and left.

Li Zhong looked at Gao Lin's departing back, his face angry as he scolded in a low voice, "This ungrateful thing. If it wasn't for the fact that Master had always taken care of him, he would have been able to be today, and be swallowed by someone a long time ago."

Xuan Chen shook his head, the human heart was not good, only when in danger, would he be able to see clearly who was in charge, and who was in charge.

Gao Lin and Xuan Zhenhong were good friends. In the past, they often came to the Xuanjia and always appeared to be very friendly. Xuan Chen actually had a pretty good impression of him.

But who would have thought that not long after Xuan Zhen got into trouble, Gao Lin immediately revealed his true appearance, and impatiently jumped out to take over the Xuanjia's ancestral home.

Xuan Qingya had a worried look on her face as she said, "Little Chen, it's so hard to gather over a hundred thousand silver taels in four months time."
