When the two of them stood on the street again, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, only to realize that neither of them was a good conversationalist.
Qin Su curled her lips slightly. "In that case, we can be considered friends, right?"
Mo Lan stroked the pointer in her hand, and a smile also appeared on her lips.
"Friends usually talk about everything, but we don't have anything in common."
Qin Su: "......"
Was he rejected?
"If we meet again by chance, I might consider it. Farewell." Mo Lan flicked her teaching whip and left gracefully.
Only after Mo Lan's figure disappeared into the crowd did Wu Feng and Ting Yu approach.
"Master, why did you let them leave so easily?"
Qin Su glanced at Ting Yu, "Is the place you're staying ready?"
"We've been prepared for a long time, and we're ready to welcome you anytime, Master." Tingyu said, then turned to look in the direction where Molan had disappeared. "Master, did you mention the cooperation to Miss Molan?"
"Let's go, let's rest first." Qin Su pursed her lips and walked away.
Wufeng patted Tingyu on the shoulder, "What are you daydreaming about? Let's go."
What an idiot! If you bring it up, will the master not say anything?
Encountering Qin Su did not dampen Mo Lan's shopping mood. With the chattering Hua Bao by her side, the two returned home laden with purchases after walking down the street.
Back at the escort agency, Mo Lan summoned Zhou Bo and instructed him, "Have someone keep an eye on the situation in Ye County and report back immediately if anything happens."
"Yes, boss," Zhou Bo replied, then couldn't help but ask, "Did you notice anything amiss, boss?"
"Not for now. We run a security escort agency, so we need to be prepared for any unexpected situations." Thinking of Qin Su, Mo Lan felt that he was definitely someone who wouldn't visit unless there was a reason, and there must be someone or something he cared about.
As night fell, Mo Lan was sitting at her desk flipping through the escort agency's ledgers when a dark figure silently slipped in. "Master, our men have discovered an iron mine at Tianjiao Peak."
"Iron ore? That's really good stuff."
Upon hearing the report from the guards, Mo Lan's eyes lit up. She had quite a few people under her command, so if there were iron mines, she wouldn't have to worry about weapons and armor.
"What is the scale?"
"After the iron ore was discovered, Brother Tie led us on a survey, but we haven't reached a conclusion yet on its exact size. Brother Tie told his subordinates to come back and ask the master if he wanted to go and see for himself."
"Go, of course we'll go! Iron ore, it's a coveted commodity, we can't let others get there first."
Mo Lan put down the ledger in her hand, picked up her tea and took a small sip. After a slight bitterness, a sweet aftertaste immediately followed, and the aroma of the tea lingered. The tea brought back this time was quite good. Selling it to the border regions would bring in another source of income.
"Go back and tell Tie Niu that I will get there as soon as possible in the next couple of days, and tell him to be careful."
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
Mo Lan quietly sipped her tea, thinking about the iron mine and how to keep the news a secret.
"Boss, it's not that difficult. I'll set up a few illusions around the area, and no one will be able to find us." Suddenly, the tomb spirit's voice rang in his mind.
“That’s a good idea,” Mo Lan’s eyes lit up at the tomb spirit’s suggestion.
"Master, it's getting late, you should rest." Han Shuang came over from next door, holding an account book.
"Frost, get ready, we're leaving tomorrow."
Mo Lan told her about the iron mine, "We need to deal with the iron mine issue as soon as possible. Once the news leaks, those warlords with armies will definitely want a share of it. We need to protect it before they do."
