Chapter 1573 A Secret
What surprised Xia Xinyue even more was that the previously famous female swordsman Qin Zhen was also here.
Qin Zhen's fame is not as great as Mingxiu and Feng Qiuyan, and there is a reason why Xia Xinyue knows her.
Qin Zhen came from an ordinary family, but during the years of studying at Sunset Academy, he showed an extremely strong talent in swordsmanship.
All major forces value geniuses like Qin Zhen who have no background. Who doesn't want to have a few talented swordsmen like Qin Zhen under their command? Even if they keep them and do nothing, it is better than letting such a strong man work for their enemies.
When Qin Zhen was only in her sophomore year, many families had already contacted her. Not only the ordinary local wealthy families, but even the six major families had contacted her, either openly or secretly, and made some promises.
The Xia family also invited Qin Zhen, and the conditions offered were quite high, but Qin Zhen still refused.
Later, Xia Xianyue found out that the conditions offered by the other families were also very good. The Family of God had even prepared guardians and mythical liquids for her, both of which were most suitable for her attributes, and there were also a large amount of resources for her to use.
But Qin Zhen didn't go anywhere. He rejected everyone's invitation and stayed in Sunset College as a tutor.
Originally, people thought that Qin Zhen stayed in Sunset Academy because of An Tianzuo. Now, many young talents choose to join Luoyang or directly join the Sunset Army because of the three words An Tianzuo.
It was not until two days ago that Xia Xianyue accidentally saw Qin Zhen giving a lecture to students on the school playground and realized that she was actually in Guide Prefecture.
The conditions here are completely different from those of the six major families. She really couldn't understand why Qin Zhen chose to stay here.
"Does Qin Zhen think so highly of Zhou Wen?" Xia Xinyue muttered to herself.
When these big families invest, they will never put all their eggs in one basket. Even if one basket has problems, there are still eggs in other baskets to eat.
But Qin Zhen is different. She only has herself as a hope, which means she has put all her pressure on Guide Prefecture and Zhou Wen.
What Xia Xinyue could not have imagined was that she actually saw Hui Wan while shopping yesterday.
President Hui Haifeng has only one son, and he usually takes care of him like a treasure. The current situation in Guide Prefecture is not optimistic. Hui Haifeng actually let his only son come here, which really surprised Xia Xinyue.
"Could this Hui Wan not be Hui Haifeng's biological child?" Xia Xianyue was very suspicious.
The current situation in Guide Mansion is completely different from what Xia Xinyue had imagined. Now she is a little hesitant, wondering whether the conditions she and Xia Liuchuan had discussed before can still impress Zhou Wen.
If there was only a piece of charcoal, then the conditions they offered would be quite good, but now it seems that Zhou Wen does not seem to need charcoal, so it is not so easy to convince him.
Xia Xianyue called Xia Liuchuan and told him what happened. After hearing it, Xia Liuchuan was also incredulous.
"The Mingxiu you are talking about, is it Mingxiu, the swordsman of tomorrow? Is Feng Qiuyan the Feng Qiuyan from the Guihaifeng family?" Xia Liuchuan asked in disbelief.
"Yes, I heard that they are classmates with Zhou Wen." Xia Xinyue repeated what she had heard.
"Feng Qiuyan and Mingxiu not only represent themselves, but also their families. Although these two families cannot be said to be top-notch, after these two people emerged, they have become well-known among warlords in various places." Xia Liuchuan said thoughtfully.
Together with Qin Zhen and some others, the strength of Guide Prefecture far exceeded their previous expectations.
"It seems that we need to change our previous plan. Those chips were indeed a timely help to Zhou Wen in the past, but it is not the case now. We are a step late and we must increase the stakes." Xia Liuchuan sighed.
…
When Zhou Wen arrived at the hotel, Xia Xinyue had just returned, and the two happened to meet in the hotel lobby.
"Miss Xia, are you used to living here?" Zhou Wen walked over and said.
"It's okay, quite quiet." Xia Xianyue said with a smile: "If you have time, can we find a place to chat?"
"There is a conference room upstairs." Zhou Wen said.
"No need to be so formal. My brother takes care of all the household affairs. I'm just responsible for passing on messages. It's almost time for dinner. I heard that there's a restaurant nearby that has some good secret barbecue. I've been wondering when to try it. Let's go together?" Xia Xinyue said.
"Okay." Zhou Wen nodded in agreement and followed Xia Xinyue to the barbecue restaurant.
After they ordered their meals and sat down, Xia Xianyue said, "Guide Prefecture is a good place, but it's not easy to gain a foothold here."
"It's indeed not easy." Zhou Wen nodded.
"Have you ever thought about finding someone to cooperate with?" Xia Xinyue asked.
"I don't have that idea for now, but if the Xia family wants to invest in Guide Prefecture, I can consider it." Zhou Wen looked at Xia Xianyue and said, "I wonder how much the Xia family is prepared to invest?"
Xia Xianyue raised a finger and said nothing.
"What does 'one' mean?" Zhou Wen was puzzled.
"A secret in exchange for 30% of Guide Mansion's future profits." Xia Xinyue said.
"What kind of secret is so valuable?" Zhou Wen curled his lips. He didn't think that there was any secret worth 30% of Guide Mansion's profits.
"You haven't found the dimensional area to build a city yet, right?" Xia Xinyue asked instead of answering.
"No." Zhou Wen looked at Xia Xinyue in surprise. She definitely didn't ask this without any reason.
"I know there is a dimensional area nearby. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Not only is it difficult for outsiders to enter, but the environment inside is also very suitable for building a city. Exchanging 30% of your income for such a dimensional area is not too much, right?" Xia Xinyue said.
"Since it's in a nearby dimensional area, I will be able to find it sooner or later. Why should I give you 30%?" Zhou Wen asked back.
"If it were so easy to find, I wouldn't tell you now. If you don't believe me, you can go look for it. If you find it, I won't say anything." Xia Xianyue seemed very sure that Zhou Wen couldn't find it.
"Okay, I'll look for it first. If I can't find it, we can talk later." Zhou Wen was very direct.
"Take your time to look for it. If you can't find it, I won't raise your price." Xia Xinyue said with a smile.
"Even if I find it, when I build the city in the future, I will definitely reserve the best location for your Xia family in the most prosperous place." Zhou Wen also said.
"Then it's settled." Xia Xinyue didn't think Zhou Wen could find that dimensional realm. If it was so easy to find, it wouldn't have remained undiscovered until today.
The reason why the Xia family was able to find that dimensional field was because that dimensional field had some relationship with the Xia family.
