"The mines are restless?!"
Bai Mo frowned slightly when he heard this, thinking to himself, "As expected." He had just guessed at the foot of the mountain whether there was a problem with the raw materials.
Now it seems that this is indeed the case.
"That's right. Recently, the mines in the South China Sea, East China Sea, etc. that produce that kind of mineral have all been attacked by a kind of demon. This has resulted in some casualties, as well as damage to machinery and equipment, and even mining sites."
The head of the Bai family sat upright in his seat, slowly put down the tablet in his hand, picked up his glasses and wiped them, then continued:
“This has greatly increased the burden on us, the noble families that own the mines. In addition, a group of pirates have emerged on the sea recently due to the chaos caused by demons, which has led to a shortage of magic weapons.
It is still good for the Bai family to just increase the mining costs. Some families have already sold their mines at high prices because they were disturbed by the demons. "
Bai Mo nodded slightly, finally understanding why the trade of raw materials with the inland families had been delayed.
I might not even have enough for myself, so how could I have the time to sell it to others? Thinking of this, he asked casually:
"This mine is so dangerous now, who is going to take over it? Has our family taken over it?"
"No, those who acquire mineral resources are all vassal forces of the Mu family and the Zu family."
The head of the Bai family raised his head and looked at Bai Mo, and asked curiously, "Why do you care about this when you don't even take care of the huge Xinghuo Network?"
"I'm asking for someone else. Some families in the inland areas don't have any channels to buy materials."
"Then they will have to wait for a few months. The Coast Guard has not yet found where those demons came from. It will also take some time to clean up those pirates."
Shaking his head, Bai Yuanzhi poured himself a glass of water, and said with a meaningful look in his eyes:
"Instead of asking us to protect our food from the monsters, why not ask the ancestors? They are still collecting sea mines. They have bought three or four mines now."
Hearing this, Bai Mo raised his eyebrows, realizing that something was wrong. From what he heard, the Zu family was quite positive about the sea mine.
At this moment, there were three knocks on the door. The door was not closed. Butler Bai Shan stood at the door and said:
"Master, Chief Judge Leng Qing is here with someone. It seems that he wants to see the young master about something."
"I'll go right away."
Knowing what he wanted, Bai Mo left immediately. At the same time, he was a little confused. Who came to see him that required Leng Qing to introduce him personally?
When I arrived at the reception room, I saw Leng Qing sitting in the main seat, and a man with a gloomy temperament sat two meters away from her.
The man was about 30 years old, wearing a formal suit and a tie that was tied neatly. His hair was a little long, covering his neck, and was neatly tied behind his head.
'A little life?'
Bai Mo's eyes flashed with doubt. He stepped closer and saw that young man suddenly stood up and bowed to Bai Mo with a solemn face. His voice fell to the ground with unusual force.
"Nice to meet you, Bai Mojun!"
After saying that, he extended his hand to Bai Mo, who shook hands with him politely, and then asked politely:
"How happy?"
"How happy?" Ming Bu Zechuan was obviously stunned for a moment. Bai Mo's attitude didn't make him react at once.
But after understanding the question, he still smiled, stood up straight, and said in a serious tone:
"I have been waiting for Bai Mojun for more than two weeks under the hospitality of Xinghuo Network. I am so happy that I can die with a smile on my face!"
"Haha, really."
Bai Mo laughed awkwardly twice, and did not forget to give Qingqing a look. After receiving Qingqing's look that indicated that she was troublesome, he smiled and said:
"Let's sit down and talk. What does Mr. Ming Bu want to talk to me about?"
"Oh, please allow me to introduce myself again. My name is Ming Bu Zechuan, a super-class summoning mage, ranked third on the Xuan Ranking."
Ming Bu Zechuan still had a serious and solemn expression on his face, and said word by word:
"I heard that Bai Mojun also has unique attainments in the summoning system and can summon two ancient demon sects at the same time. I came here specifically to ask Bai Mojun for a sparring match. Don't worry, I will never hurt you."
???
Bai Mo tilted his head, a look of question marks on his face.
This old guy, where did he come from? He was so bored that he wanted to compete with him, and he waited for several weeks.
Is it because he has more magic power and higher summoning skills that he can summon two monarchs to help him fight?
"Mr. Ming Bu is a famous summoning master in Fuso, known as the second Pang Lai. He rarely challenges others."
Leng Qing suddenly spoke up,
"Mr. Ming Bu also represents the Fuso Magic Association and has come to cooperate with the Magic City Magic Association on double vessels. Many people already know that he wants to spar with you."
Hearing this, Bai Mo understood that the previous ones were useless, and the main thing was the second sentence.
Qingqing was reminding herself that she couldn't refuse this competition.
It would be fine if he was not in the Magic City, but now that he has returned to the Magic City, it is basically impossible for him to avoid the war.
Although this incident was not widely circulated on the Internet because there was no secret force behind it, it still attracted the attention of people from both countries.
Are you kidding? How can I avoid fighting when competing with Xiao Ri Zi? !
"I've been a bit busy these days. Since Mr. Ming Bu is also a super-class mage, he should understand that super-class sparring is not a simple matter."
Bai Mo said, seeing Ming Bu Zechuan nodding in agreement, since he had just broken through to the second level of the Summoning System Super Rank not long ago, and there was no one to practice with, he continued,
"So I agree to the competition, but it will take place in three days, on Wulong Island."
"No problem, I'm looking forward to fighting with Bai Mojun and experiencing the power of the two ancient magic sects!" Ming Bu Zechuan nodded heavily.
After seeing Ming Bu Zechuan off, Bai Mo was quite speechless. How could so many things happen?
"Is this guy really a martial arts madman?"
"I'm not sure. I looked into his information and guessed that his summoning system has reached the super level three. He seems to be really obsessed with summoning creatures. Don't be too careless." Leng Qing said.
Hearing this, Bai Mo shook his head and put the matter behind him.
The summoning system told him to be careful, and it was estimated that Pang Lai would need to come over. Thinking of this, he thought of Leng Qing's introduction just now, and couldn't help laughing.
"Who called him the second Panglai? It's quite intimidating."
"Former External Consul, Zu Hengrao."
Hearing this, Bai Mo curled his lips. Judging from the old guy's personality traits, he was probably carrying the sedan chair because of some vested interests.
I shook my head and stopped thinking about it.
He looked at Leng Qing. Leng Qing was wearing casual clothes today. The collar of his white shirt was buttoned neatly, which set off his slender goose neck perfectly.
Her hair was tied into a high ponytail at the back of her head, and her sharp jawline gave her a somewhat ascetic temperament.
"Since we're here, why not go meet our dad?"
"I've seen it plenty of times."
Leng Qing raised her eyebrows, not showing any shyness of a little girl. Instead, she glared at him sideways.
"Why, are you disappointed?"
"It's different. I wasn't there the last few times." Bai Mo shook his head.
A faint smile appeared on Leng Qing's face. He stood up and reached out to pull him up from the chair.
"Okay, let's go. If your father is not satisfied, I will be angry."
After saying that, she pulled Bai Mo towards the Bai family's study, obviously having been there many times.
Judging from his appearance, someone who didn’t know would think Leng Qing was the young master of the Bai family.
Qingqing no longer looked shy, which made Bai Mo feel a little regretful. This master of expression management had already maxed out his expression management skills.
If he wasn't a sound mage, he would have been fooled by this beautiful woman.
To Bai Mo's surprise, the formal meeting (Bai Mo thought) between Qingqing and the head of the Bai family was very ordinary. The two chatted with each other for a few sentences and then nothing happened.
This is really boring. Shouldn't the head of the Bai family be greatly surprised? It would be best if even the tea in the cup could be sprayed out.
This is too boring. This is old man Bao’s granddaughter and the president of the Trial Council. Aren’t you shocked?
Does he have to bring back Bao Lao's other granddaughter?
"I feel like you're thinking of something dangerous."
Leng Qing suddenly spoke up. Upon hearing this, Bai Mo pulled her hand and shook it, smiling awkwardly.
"I didn't. How could that be? I was thinking about doubling the raw materials for magic weapons. This raw material made it difficult to popularize the doubled magic weapons, which greatly hindered our plan."
"I have also heard about this matter, but the investigation has made little progress. It is said that those demons come and go without a trace, and we cannot find where they come from."
Leng Qing shook his head. "You can ask Lingling to help check it out. She's good at this."
"Well, I'll talk to Lingling when I get back to Xiaoshan later."
Bai Mo nodded slightly and continued to walk with her along the edge of Dinghu Lake at the foot of the mountain. He casually asked about the recent development of Xinghuo.com.
"By the way, how is the Spark Network going? I remember Jiaojiao has been helping you."
"Well, she has great abilities in this area."
Leng Qing fixed her gaze on the slightly rippling lake surface. There was no expression on her face, but from the look in her eyes, one could feel that she was very comfortable at the moment.
"The development of Spark Network is on the right track. At the organizational level, our prestige is already sufficient, but at the social level, we still need to work hard."
Bai Mo scratched his head. There was really no good solution to this problem at this stage.
After executing a top person and getting a supreme guardian tree, no one dares to underestimate the Spark Network.
No matter what you want to do or what investigation you want to conduct, even if it involves the Hunter Alliance, the Family Alliance or the Magic Association, you will not be disdained or anything.
But just like most people now subconsciously believe in military magicians and fear the Inquisition.
Xinghuo.com still lacks popular support, and its contribution to the society as a whole and the reputation accumulated from such contribution are not enough.
This takes time and opportunity.
"Take your time. I have time to manage it well." Leng Qing saw that he was frowning and not talking, so he reached out and smoothed his brows.
"You've helped me enough."
Bai Mo chuckled and shrugged, "Let's take it slow. Developing the Spark Network itself is not the most important thing."
That was just a means for him to protect the Magic City from the attack of the Siren with the help of Shao Zheng.
"I should go find Lingling. If I don't go, someone will get worried."
"Don't spoil her all the time. Children can't drink too much milk tea." Leng Qing said.
"My mouth is on her, I can't control it."
"I don't want to bother with you."
"Ignore it, ignore me and I'll leave."
Bai Mo blinked his eyes, but didn't move his feet. He whispered, "Emm, I'll kiss you first before I leave."
After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed her. It felt a little cool, like touching a grape, and then it was as elastic as jelly, and infinitely soft, like fermented bean curd. Although he said he would just kiss her, he was now biting her.
First, get familiar with the texture of the soft lips, and then go deeper into them, smell the fragrance that invades your heart from the tip of your nose, and enjoy the spiritual pleasure brought by the exchange of breath.
It wasn't until breathing became difficult that he pulled a silver thread apart.
"There are people all around!" Leng Qing glared at him, with a few blushes on his fair face and tears in his black and white eyes.
“They can’t see.”
Bai Mo tilted his head. When he was playing tricks, the area three meters around him was a chaotic maze.
Not only can ordinary people not see this place, but they will also subconsciously avoid it even if they get close to it.
As for magicians, they are a minority after all, and they must be at least high-level to see through this simple maze.
Where do so many high-level ones come from?
"I'm really leaving this time." Bai Mo said as a silver light flashed around him and he disappeared.
A middle-aged woman walking on the beach nearby narrowed her eyes and said, "This boy, he didn't even say hello when he saw his mother. What's the meaning of kissing the girl and running away?"
Xiaoshan
Outside a cabin in the woods, several people sat on stools in the yard outside the cabin, staring at a huge pupa in the woods.
"Yue'ehuang has been recovering from her injuries. Granny Peiyan and I brought her here a few days ago."
Yu Shishi sat on a stool, looking at Ding Yumian and Mo Fan, who were fairly familiar to her, and a pretty little girl.
She knew the relationship between Bai Mo and Ding Yumian, and was afraid that she would misunderstand that she was intruding on someone else's territory, so she immediately told him about Yan Shi and Leng Qing appearing and driving away the bandits.
Now it was said that Yan and she had visited Yue'e Phoenix together. Afterwards, Yan was worried that someone would find Yue'e Phoenix, so he moved it to another place, and this is how the giant pupa in the forest came into being.
Suddenly, there was a flash of silver light, and Bai Mo's figure appeared, immediately interrupting Yu Shishi's narration.
"Bai Mo, you're finally here. I was just listening to what Master Yu said about your house being burned down!"
Mo Fan laughed and said, this guy knows that he has to rely on others to give him benefits, so he doesn’t even call her a witch.
Bai Mo sat between Ding Yumian and Lingling, not caring about Mo Fan's words at all. He had just gone to visit the two trees in the back mountain. Who dared to be so presumptuous?
Thinking of this, he snatched Lingling's milk tea, woke up Jiaoyue, and gave it to her.
"That's mine!"
"Your sister told you to drink less."
"Okay, from now on, I'll have half of the milk tea and Jiaoyue the other half. If she doesn't have time, I'll keep it for her." Lingling wasn't stubborn and came up with a plan in a flash.
Bai Mo couldn't deny that Leng Qing's worry was unnecessary. Lingling followed him and had to walk for a long time, which consumed a lot of energy. It was basically impossible for her to gain weight.
He thought of what Mo Fan had just said and couldn't help but ask, "Where were you talking about?"
"Granny Yan and Shishi Yu moved Yue'ehuang here." Ding Yumian said.
"That's great, we're very safe here."
Yu Shishi agreed with this statement. She has now taken the initiative to take on the task of managing Xiaoshan, just to establish a good relationship with the two sacred trees in the back mountain.
Next time if any bad person comes over, she won't feel any sense of crisis anymore.
She was not a fool and knew that Bai Mo and the others would not come to chat with her for no reason. Now that the real owner had come, she had also explained the reason for the sudden revamp of Yue'ehuang and Qianshan.
Yu Shishi took the initiative to ask, "Bai Mo, why did you come to see me?"
"Yes." Bai Mo nodded, and said without beating around the bush, "Yue E Huang is seriously injured and it's hard to recover. When will she start reincarnating?"
"During this period, Yue'ehuang has fulfilled her wish. She does have the idea of reincarnation. According to the time, the best time is when the moon is full on the 15th. What's wrong?"
Bai Mo patted Mo Fan on the shoulder, indicating that this was the guy in need.
"You know him, too. I need some totem fireflies from Yue'ehuang before she reincarnates to help him improve his cultivation."
This was not a difficult task for Yue'ehuang, but Yu Shishi didn't know whether Yue'ehuang would agree, so she looked a little hesitant.
Suddenly, the crescent pendant on her wrist lit up. Yu Shishi was shocked and the expression on her face turned into a gentle smile.
"This is a piece of cake for Yue'e Huang. She is willing to help this guy."
Although Yu Shishi's tone was gentle, it was clear that she still had resentment towards Mo Fan.
Upon hearing this, Mo Fan was overjoyed and wanted to stay here immediately.
"You can just pick any room. Yu Shishi is in charge of this place now. If you can't find her, go find her."
"Okay. But Bai Mo, how did you manage to keep a beautiful woman in a golden house and prevent Ding Yumian from causing trouble for you?"
Mo Fan's focus was obviously not on the residence. He was more curious about what Bai Mo would do with such a beautiful woman alone in the manor in the middle of the night.
For example, playing poker or flying chess.
"I'm not interested in her, just treat her as my guest."
Bai Mo shook his head. He had so many places to live, and this was obviously the villa built for Kong Xin Yang Liu.
"Since you have nothing to do recently, why don't you do me a favor?"
"What?"
"I'll give you some information about some seaside mines. Go investigate any traces of demons nearby."
“It can’t be a sea monster. I’m not good at water battles.” Mo Fan shouted immediately.
"I just want you to guard the mines. The mining villages and towns along the coast have been in turmoil recently. There have been attacks from unknown monsters. I want to find them."
Bai Mo said that from the previous conversation he discovered that the attacks of those monsters suspected to be sirens were random, but also seemed to have a target.
If he were allowed to go, he might not necessarily run into that group of sirens causing trouble.
But if it was Mo Fan, maybe he would be lucky enough to meet him.
"Lingling will help you find it, and you can ask Zhao Manyan to come with you. After the task is completed, I will give you a double magic weapon."
"I have one. I spent some effort to find someone to make it." Mo Fan raised his chin to show that he looked down on it.
Bai Mo was not surprised. Making it by oneself was indeed the choice that coastal hunters would make when the prices of double magic weapons were too high.
"It's custom made. I haven't even received it yet. It can support the full power release of super-class magic."
"make a deal."
After dealing with this super lucky star, Bai Mo took Lingling and Ding Yumian back to Qingtian Hunting House.
When it comes to collecting information and looking for clues, it is more convenient here.
"Lingling, please help me check out the recent attacks on the mines of the major coastal families. I don't think this matter is that simple."
Bai Mo briefly explained what happened and shared some of his own guesses.
"It's not a big deal. I've already started to send people to investigate the two corresponding constellations of Xingling and Zhenling, and the corresponding areas above Jiuzhou. This period of time can be used to deal with this."
Lingling walked to her own seat, put her small computer in place, and then glanced at him.
Bai Mo had no choice but to teleport out and buy her a cup of milk tea, and also bought one for Yu Mian.
"I have to go back to school later." Ding Yumian narrowed his eyes and said
Bai Ze was a little dissatisfied with the fact that she went around and left it on the campus that she was tired of seeing.
"I won't go."
Bai Mo shook his head slightly. He suddenly remembered that he still needed to deal with the plant seeds and broken sword he got from Jiaomu Jiao.
"Then let's go together."
Ding Yumian put down the milk tea. Obviously, she knew who Bai Mo was going to look for.
There was no way. The moment she accepted this person, it meant that she acknowledged those things.
Maybe they thought so too.
After leaving Qingtian Hunting House, the two came to Mingzhu Academy. One entered the school to look for his totem beast, and the other went to Jinyuan Apartment.
I opened the door and found no one in the living room.
Bai Mo hung up the clothes casually, took a look, and found that his slippers were still clean. He smiled slightly and changed his shoes.
Entering the living room, the sound of breathing in the room came into my ears. One person had already come out with the sound of clattering footsteps, and the other was still maintaining a steady and long rhythm, probably meditating.
"Hey, who is this? Breaking into a private residence is illegal. Be careful or I'll have the judge arrest you!"
Ai Tutu came out skipping and jumping, stood on the corridor on the second floor, put his hands on his waist and pointed at Bai Modao below.
Bai Mo raised his head upwards, past the straight white legs, and saw a colorful field of human handicrafts, and saw a huge mountain covered with gauze, but could not see where the sound came from.
With a light tap of his toes, he instantly reached the second floor, appeared in front of Ai Tutu, and pushed his shoulder with his hand.
He leaned over, lowered his head a little, and got in front of him, to the point where he could be close to him just by lowering his head once more.
"Little girl, what are you suing me for?"
"Hmph~, you...you...get out of the way, Sister Mu is still here?"
Ai Tutu suddenly became a little panicked. He could smell the scent on Bai Mo's body at such a close distance, which was the smell of laundry detergent.
"Jiaojiao is practicing, why are you panicking?"
"I'm afraid someone will become lustful in broad daylight." Ai Tutu widened his eyes, trying not to appear too panicked.
Isn’t it just being pushed against a wall? Isn’t it a dream come true? Isn’t it just that there’s a handsome guy in front of you? What is there to be shy about?
She, Ai Tutu, the only daughter of the Ai family, has seen all kinds of scenes.
But she felt a tingling sensation coming from the front of her body, her conscience was weighed, and her mouth was blocked.
Then wisps of white smoke immediately rose above his head.
This scene is the first time.
Sister Mu, please don’t come out at this time!!! (End of this chapter)
