Chapter 950: Find a Foothold

Soon, Gu Fan and Lord Xiong arrived at the next small town, where they used their coins to buy a somewhat dilapidated house before boarding up all the windows with planks.

Originally, Lord Xiong thought they could hire people to do this but Gu Fan insisted on doing it themselves for a simple reason: immediately boarding up all the windows of a newly purchased house would be too suspicious and would certainly arouse the curiosity of others.

Seeing how thoroughly Gu Fan had considered the situation, Lord Xiong was very satisfied and began to trust Gu Fan.

"Good heavens, I'm not that foolish." Gu Fan knew with Lord Xiong's wisdom, he would have thought about the risk of hiring people to board up the windows. He must have brought it up intentionally just to see Gu Fan's reaction.

And Gu Fan, considering the safety of the Xue Clan, rejected the proposal, which was akin to passing a test from Lord Xiong.
