I see.
Ruan Qiao nodded and began to concentrate on tempering herself.
On Jiang Qi's side, after several painful screams, the female Gu in his body finally calmed down.
Jiang Qi and Elder Hong also temporarily suppressed their anxiety and worry.
"Young Master, there is no time to lose. We cannot spend too much time in Lancheng.
You must return to Guzhou as soon as possible. Once you are with the young lady, she will definitely be able to help you eliminate the hidden dangers in your body."
Jiang Qi nodded solemnly.
"Oh, by the way, Elder Hong, haven't we seen Zixuan?"
Jiang Qi finally remembered that Wei Zixuan was missing.
Elder Hong frowned slightly when he heard him mention Wei Zixuan again. He said, "She's quite self-aware and knew she had to leave on her own initiative."
Jiang Qi was also slightly surprised and felt a little strange in his heart, but in the end he did not mention Wei Zixuan again.
Elder Hong said, "We must quickly mine all the ancient spiritual jade from that barren mountain and get it all."
Jiang Qi was slightly stunned: "Got them all?"
Elder Hong couldn't help but laugh, "Young Master, you are still too young, and you may not fully understand the value of those ancient spiritual jades.
Let’s put it this way, the value of those ancient spiritual jades is equivalent to the entire assets of a large family in Guzhou.
We must seize the initiative as soon as possible before others receive the news.
Humph, the Shao family is worthy of negotiating terms with us? A 50-50 split? Don’t they think about whether they deserve those ancient spiritual jades?
Jiang Qi's eyes flashed, he was indeed too kind.
"Elder Hong, I've learned my lesson."
Elder Hong looked at him with relief and said, "As long as the young master understands, that's good."
The Shao family's half of the barren mountain was soon mined, and all the forces of the Sea Alliance were guarding outside the barren mountain, forbidding anyone to approach.
The uncle and nephew of the Wang family stood not far away and watched. Wang Chao's face was full of reluctance. "Second Uncle, are we just going to watch like this? That's an ancient spiritual jade mine..."
Wang Dequan's eyes were filled with greed and regret. "What can we do? Elder Hong is not someone we can afford to offend, let alone the one behind him."
Wang Chao let out a long breath, his eyes full of helplessness.
This is how the world is. When it comes to resources, the strong have more capital to obtain them than the weak.
And once they get the resources, their capital will become even stronger.
For the weak, it is extremely difficult to get a chance to become stronger.
Their Wang family had just joined the ancient forces and now had no power to compete with the top leaders of the ancient forces.
Wang Dequan sighed, "It's a shame that I've been in Lancheng for so many years and still haven't discovered the secret of this barren mountain. If I had discovered it earlier and taken the lead, we wouldn't have to hold our breath like this..."
Wang Chao's eyes flickered slightly: "Uncle, don't you find it strange? For so many years, no one has ever suspected that there are treasures under this barren mountain, but the Shao family, who usually keep quiet, suddenly want to develop this barren mountain with Tang Zhengxian.
And they just happened to choose the half with the mines, which is really amazing."
Wang Dequan's eyes suddenly narrowed: "You are right. I'm afraid there is something else going on..."
Elder Hong and Jiang Qi were standing halfway up the mine. From their perspective, they could just see the uncle and nephew of the Wang family not far from the foot of the mountain.
Jiang Qi said: "They are probably also coveting this mine."
Hong Chang sneered and said nonchalantly, "So what if they covet us? They dare not make any move."
"But..." Elder Hong said solemnly, "Why didn't Chu Shiyu take any action?"
Jiang Qi couldn't help but frown.
Elder Hong said, "When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on..."
"We still have to speed up the mining process."
…
On the other side, at the Shao family, Shao Shihuai's face was beaming. He sat together with Mrs. Shao, Shao Yiyi, and Shao Feng's family of four.
In front of them was a table full of extremely sumptuous dishes.
Shao Shihuai raised his glass with a flushed face and said, "Come on, let's drink one together as a family!
With these mineral veins and the Sea Alliance as our backing, our Shao family will no longer be just the number one family in Lancheng, our future lies in Guzhou!"
He is ambitious and full of vision for the future.
Mrs. Shao's face also flushed with excitement.
Shao Feng and Shao Yiyi also raised their glasses with smiles on their faces.
The family of four all envisioned a glorious future. From then on, they were no longer unknown, but could stand on equal footing with the big names.
After a glass of wine, there was another round of laughter.
On the second floor, Shao Jiajia silently watched the hustle and bustle below. There had never been a place for her in this family. She had never sat at the dining table since she was a child.
At this time, the servant knocked on the door and placed a tray heavily on the table in her room.
"Eat, stop looking. It's useless to look at it anymore."
After saying that, the servant went out with a look of disgust on his face.
Shao Jiajia looked at the rice and stir-fried meat and vegetables on the tray.
There is meat today!
She walked over silently and picked up the chopsticks. At least the Shao family gave her food, which was not bad.
She started eating seriously.
downstairs.
Shao Yiyi suddenly glanced upstairs and said, "Speaking of which, all this is thanks to my sister.
If she hadn't 'seen' the secret of the barren mountain, how could we have obtained such a mine?"
Disgust suddenly flashed across Mrs. Shao's face, and Shao Shihuai's face also darkened slightly.
"Second sister, we are eating, why mention her?" Shao Feng saw that his parents were unhappy, so he couldn't help but speak up to act as a peacemaker.
He is an introvert and doesn't talk much, but once he opens his mouth, he can speak to Shao Shihuai's heart.
