"hiss…"

At this moment, everyone truly believed it. Fan Qiyue couldn't help but gasp and ask, "Where...where did you get so many mid-grade Xuan Stones?"

You should know that this is a mid-grade mystic stone, not a low-grade one!

Back then, the Alchemist Guild only managed to obtain eleven mid-grade Xuan Stones in the Secret Palace, but now Zhen Yun has suddenly produced forty!

Forty mid-grade Xuan Stones—what does that even mean?!

"this…"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yun hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Can I not say?"

"explain."

Di Moyu said coldly.

He needed to know the origin of these mysterious stones. Their current situation was already bad, and he didn't want to make any more enemies for no reason.

"These…"

Knowing there was no way to avoid it, Zhen Yun hesitated for a long time before whispering, "Actually... this is all the savings in my Zhen family's treasury. I... I stole it all when I came here."

Everyone: "...?"

What does it mean that they stole them all?

steal?

Does this mean that this guy emptied his own family's coffers?

This is fucking outrageous!

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at Zhen Yun.

That look in his eyes was as if he were looking at the landlord's foolish son.

They could imagine how the head of the Zhen family would feel when he learned the truth.

I'm afraid they'd want to drag this spendthrift son up and beat him to a pulp any minute now.

"Yes, you did a good job."

Di Moyu was stunned for a moment, then expressionlessly accepted all forty mid-grade Xuan stones.

It's like a godsend; now all of them can advance together.

"Thank you for the compliment, Young Master Di. It's nothing, just a small matter."

Zhen Yun was not truly stupid; he knew the consequences of stealing so many Xuan Stones from his family.

But who told him to take a fancy to someone else's daughter?

Ji Lewei is so wonderful; as long as he can win her over, all these investments in Xuan Stones are, in his opinion, completely worthwhile.

Most importantly, Di Moyu and his group are now Ji Lewei and the others' true backers, and they absolutely cannot fall.

The stronger they are, the safer Ji Lewei will be.

"Speak, what is the purpose of your visit?" Di Moyu finally spoke calmly.

He naturally knew that Zhen Yun wouldn't give them benefits for no reason; there must be some ulterior motive behind it.

"hehe…"

Upon hearing Di Moyu's words, Ji Fanya sneered and said, "He said he needs a wife to go shopping with."

"Oh, I see."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood. Indeed, only love could make someone so blind and crazy.

"No, no, no, Mr. Pot was just joking, no, no..."

Thinking about what had just happened, Zhen Yun felt his bones ache again and quickly waved his hands.

He truly didn't want to experience that feeling of being worse than dead again.

"Xiaoya, why don't you introduce him to him?"

At this moment, Zhan Wushuang suddenly stepped forward, put his arm around Ji Fanya's neck and pulled him into his arms, saying, "As for whether your cousin is willing to go shopping with him, that depends on his own fate."

Although Zhan Wushuang knows Zhen Yun very well, the main reason he brought the mid-grade Xuan Stone was probably to gain favor with Ji Lewei.

But he actually came directly to the Imperial Preceptor's residence without letting Ji Lewei know about it.

Instead of making a show of affection in front of Ji Lewei herself, he started by getting closer to the people around her and subtly expressed his feelings little by little.

This approach demonstrates a high level of respect and appreciation for Gyllenhaal.
