"I say, little girl, can you please stop trying to be clever in front of the boss? Everyone is tired from traveling, can't you let the boss have a good rest?"

However, Su Chengyi didn't care about what Song Qing and the second in command said.

He could clearly sense from Ruyi's excitement that the gold powder she discovered definitely had extraordinary uses.

"Even if, as you say, there is gold dust on the rocks at the bottom of this stream, what does it mean?"

"Boss, since there is gold dust here, it must have been washed down by the stream. So there must be a gold mine in the nearby hills!"

"What? Gold mine?"

Ruyi nodded excitedly at Su Chengyi and the others.

"Yes, Boss, it's the gold mine! Since there is gold dust in this stream, it must have been washed down from the gold mine by the Xishui River. Since there is gold dust in this stream, the gold mine must be not far away."

Looking at Ruyi's excited expression, Su Chengyi's heart was filled with excitement.

However, Song Qing and the second in command on the side didn't care at all.

Song Qing curled his lips at Ruyi.

"Don't tempt the boss here. If there were a gold mine here, it would have been developed long ago. Would they wait for you to discover it?"

Although the second in command couldn't determine whether what Ruyi said was true, Song Qing's words seemed to make more sense.

"That's right, big boss, don't be fooled by this little girl. Just because there's some shiny powder in this stream, she infers that there's a gold mine nearby. Isn't this job of finding gold mines too easy?"

Seeing how the two of them didn't care at all, Ruyi felt a little anxious, but she didn't want to argue with them anymore.

After all, if I continue to stalemate with them, it will only be a waste of time.

Ruyi then said to Su Chengyi, "Boss, I think there's a high possibility that there's a gold mine here. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to take a look after we return. It's winter now, and there's not much work to do in our village. Even if we don't find any gold, we won't lose anything."

Ruyi said, and seeing that Su Chengyi did not refute, she continued: "If we really find a gold mine, we will have a good life in the future."

Hearing her say this, Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows, as if he was thinking seriously about Ruyi's words.

Song Qing and the second-in-command on the side seemed to be shaken by Ruyi's words.

"Are you serious? If there's no gold mine here by then, wouldn't all the men in the village have worked in vain?"

Song Qing looked at Ruyi with his eyes slanted, as if he didn't want what Ruyi said to come true at all.

Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, Su Chengyi spoke.

"I've also taken note of this place. Now we're going to attend the martial arts conference, so let's focus on this matter. As for this gold mine..."

He took another look at the surrounding mountains before speaking again.

"Let's talk about what's happening here after we get back."

After hearing what Su Chengyi said, the others stopped refuting.

After all, in Chengtian Village, what Su Chengyi said was an order and could not be refuted.

Ruyi followed behind Su Chengyi, looking back every few steps.

By the time they arrived at Fanyue City, it was already dark.

After entering the city, they looked for an inn to stay.

But after a few people looked for a few places, they all had no rooms available.

When they came out of a full inn again, Ruyi was a little deflated.

"Hey, why are all the inns here full of people? Is this a tourist town?"

"What? A tourist city?"

Song Qing frowned and glanced at Ruyi, not understanding what she was saying at all. He thought she was just talking nonsense to attract Su Chengyi.

Ruyi was too lazy to explain to her, and just turned around and continued looking for an inn.

Several people walked into an inn again.

"This is the last inn. If there are no rooms here, what are we going to do tonight?"

Ruyi's whispered worry fell into Su Chengyi's ears without missing a word.

"If there's no room, we can just sleep on the floor somewhere."

"No, I don't want to sleep on the floor!"

Ruyi turned her head and stared at Su Chengyi.

"Humph, you men don't care, but I'm a girl. If I sleep on the floor in such cold weather, I'm sure I'll catch a cold the second I take the next step."

Thinking about the ancient times, even a small cold could be fatal, she didn't want to end her ancient journey here so early.

"Well, it's the boss's indecisiveness that delayed the decision to come here until so late. I think the guests here are all here to participate in the martial arts conference. If we had come earlier, we wouldn't have been in such an embarrassing situation of having no room to stay."

Although Ruyi was dissatisfied, she only dared to complain in a low voice and did not dare to say it to his face.

If Su Chengyi heard it, there might be another commotion.

Even if Su Chengyi didn't have much opinion about her, Song Qing would not let her go.

Whenever something has to do with Su Chengyi, Song Qing is definitely the first one to rush forward and help Su Chengyi solve his problems.

So in front of Song Qing, Ruyi was more careful about what she said.

But Su Chengyi heard it clearly.

He is not worried about causing dissatisfaction to others, he just cares about his own unhappiness.

"Why, now that you have no place to live, you think of blaming me?"

As soon as Su Chengyi said this, everyone became nervous.

Song Qing asked in confusion, "What? Boss, who blames you?"

"Yes, Boss, if anyone dares to blame you, I will chop him down right now!"

The second-in-command spoke with a bandit-like air, which made Ruyi tremble as she hid behind Su Chengyi.

"Big, big boss, who, who has the guts to blame you?"

Feeling Ruyi's timidity, Su Chengyi had no intention of letting her go.

He brought Ruyi here just to satisfy Ruyi's desire to watch the Dance Forest Competition.

For this reason, he even gave Ruyi an identity.

And now, Ruyi was actually complaining about not having a room to live in, which made him unable to help but feel angry.

Su Chengyi turned around, looked at Ruyi and said, "How about this? If there's still no room here, let's go home?"

Hearing this, Ruyi immediately waved her hand and said, "No, Boss, I'll stay here even if I have to sleep on the floor!"

Looking at Ruyi's determined expression, Su Chengyi sighed and ignored her.

However, when Ruyi couldn't see, Su Chengyi's mouth corners couldn't help but curl up.

While his eyes were still on Ruyi, the waiter came up to him.
