Qin Yiheng's response just now indicated his interest, and coupled with Jiang Yan's performance, Luo Jinxiu felt her chances of success were increasing.

If Luo Jinxiu knew that Jiang Yan looked at Qin Yiheng out of surprise and didn't look at him because she believed Qin Yiheng had his own decision, she might not be so confident now.

"As you know, the Luo family owns many properties, including some less common ones. For example, there's a spring on Qingling Peak that the Luo family discovered by chance. It's completely different from ordinary hot springs; it seems to have a nourishing and restorative effect. However, because it's been under development, no final conclusion has been reached yet..."

Qing Lingfeng!

Upon hearing those three words, Qin Yiheng paused for a moment, but quickly resumed his normal actions, continuing to pour water for himself and Jiang Yan as well, somewhat nonchalantly.

Neither Luo Jinxiu nor Jiang Yan paid any attention to the pause.

In fact, Qin Yiheng was willing to listen to Luo Jinxiu's cooperation not because he really wanted to "reconcile" with the Luo family or establish any friendly relationship, but because he still believed that Luo Jinxiu's misunderstanding of him was not simple, and perhaps by listening more, he could understand more.

Sure enough, this is where the important part comes in.

Luo Jinxiu was afraid that he would lose interest after listening for a while, so she talked a little longer.

"The terrain around Qingling Peak is quite peculiar. I went there once, but I couldn't even reach the vicinity of the living spring. It's very difficult to go there to conduct research, so for many years, progress has been somewhat stagnant. You know medicine and have the ability, so it would be best if you were willing to participate..."

"Since you say the terrain is strange and difficult to find, how did your Luo family discover it?" Qin Yiheng asked, raising his eyes.

He couldn't say he was very familiar with Qinglingfeng, but the name of the place was etched into his very bones.

That's where my parents had the accident.

My memories of my parents are pitifully few; most of them are from stories I heard from the old man in the snowy mountains, including one about Qingling Peak.

It was similar to what Luo Jinxiu had said; it was an extremely difficult place to reach. It was said that not only was the terrain unique, but also that someone had set up a formation there to prevent people from accidentally wandering in, otherwise it would have been discovered by all sorts of people long ago.

After the topic was brought up many times, the old man would often warn Qin Yiheng not to even think about going to that place on his own. But the old man would always remain tight-lipped about why he shouldn't go, which made Qin Yiheng very eager to go. After a while, he simply ran away secretly.

Having been in Yuzhou for so long, he has never forgotten to investigate the cause of his parents' death and has also been paying close attention to Qing Lingfeng, but an even more serious problem has arisen.

Qingling Peak is not on the map!

This was something Qin Yiheng had never considered, which is why he asked Luo Jinxiu how the Luo family had discovered it.

"I haven't actually asked about that in detail, but according to my father, when he was young, he got lost and injured. The situation was very critical, but he stumbled upon a spring by chance. After soaking in it, his injuries miraculously healed. Later, as they learned more, they discovered that the place was sparsely populated and couldn't even be found on a map. My family has always thought it was a suitable place for development. But speaking of which, the question comes full circle..."

Luo Jinxiu recalled and explained at the same time, and it seemed that she really didn't know much.

But this is even stranger. How can a project that they don't even understand want to recruit people to cooperate?

Luo Jinxiu seemed to see Qin Yiheng's doubts. After thinking for a moment, she revealed her true intentions: "To tell you the truth, it's precisely because no one can figure it out right now that I want to give it a try."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan let out a soft "Ah".

"Miss Luo has quite the ambition!" Qin Yiheng commented casually.

"So what you mean?" Luo Jinxiu stared at him.

Although she didn't explain it clearly, such a mysterious thing would definitely shock ordinary people. For example, Jiang Yan was very surprised and kept her mouth half open.

In contrast, Qin Yiheng's performance could only be described as mediocre.

Therefore, this kind of thing might be perfect for Qin Yiheng, and it could also be a good opportunity to test his strength.

Moreover, Luo Jinxiu believed in the allure of the living spring. For ordinary people, even just seeing it once would be good, let alone developing and researching it.

If the spring water truly has medicinal properties, its potential uses are endless, and the benefits it brings are immeasurable.

We are all mortals; who wouldn't be tempted by something?

However, Luo Jinxiu still didn't understand Qin Yiheng enough. She didn't know what Qin Yiheng was, but he was definitely not an ordinary mortal.

"Words are no proof. You've never even seen the living spring. How can I believe you?" Qin Yiheng shrugged, looking rather uninterested.

Luo Jinxiu was taken aback: "What if we see them?"

Qin Yiheng took another sip of tea but didn't immediately respond. In Luo Jinxiu's view, he was considering it, which was normal, since this kind of thing was unusual and involved unknown risks.

Qin Yiheng was indeed considering it, but he wasn't thinking about the risks of cooperation; rather, he was concerned about whether his parents' deaths were related to the Luo family.

Chu Ruoxue knew he wanted to investigate the truth behind his parents' deaths, so she had been helping him. However, because there were so few clues, she knew very little. What was certain at the moment was that his parents had been chased before they died and their bodies had been disposed of. Whether the remains could still be found was a mystery.

Just now, Luo Jinxiu said something.

Her father was seriously injured when he found the living spring.

"How did your father get lost? How did he get injured? Are there wild beasts on Qingling Peak?" Qin Yiheng asked in one breath.

Luo Jinxiu was taken aback by the question.

In her view, Qin Yiheng could consider many aspects, but they were all definitely related to himself.

Why did you ask her dad?

"Perhaps. My father never seems to like talking about this, maybe because the shock was too great at the time. But it wouldn't be surprising if there were any wild animals in those mountains. If you're willing, I'll make sufficient preparations, and we'll go there... "

Luo Jinxiu was naturally unaware of Qin Yiheng's focus, and the conversation veered off-topic.

Qin Yiheng didn't try to bring up the topic again.

It's clear that Luo Jinxiu doesn't know much; if it were her father now...

Qin Yiheng made up his mind, put down his teacup, and said, "I understand."

Having given this answer that wasn't really an answer, he pulled Jiang Yan up and prepared to leave.

Luo Jinxiu stood up and walked with them, adding, "Then I look forward to your good news."

The two were not going in the same direction, and on the way home, Jiang Yan tentatively asked Qin Yiheng, "Is there a problem?"

"Hmm?" Qin Yiheng responded absentmindedly.

“I feel like you’re not quite right, it’s like…” Jiang Yan racked her brains but couldn’t find the right words.
