Inside the mine's meeting hall.
Xue Ping and two other important officials sat in the hall to discuss matters.
The latter two are Patriarch Mu and Patriarch Feng respectively.
Among them, Xue Ping and Old Man Feng are of similar age and generation, while the head of the Mu family is one generation younger and calls them uncles.
The three were discussing matters in the hall when a servant from the Xue family ran in in a hurry.
"Master! Master!"
Xue Ping glared at him with a condescending look and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter that makes you so flustered?"
They are now all well-known figures, and the people under them are trained and have to behave properly.
The boy knew that he had lost his composure. The matter was so serious that he couldn't help but be frightened.
"Outside...something big happened outside!"
Mr. Feng said unhappily: "What's so big about it..."
Before he could finish his sentence, two loud noises were heard outside. The floor of the meeting hall shook and a few drops of tea in the cups spilled out.
Old Man Feng asked in confusion: "Another mine explosion? I haven't heard of opening a new mine recently."
Patriarch Mu looked in the direction of the sound: "The direction of the sound sounds like the entrance to the mine."
The servant hurriedly said, "It's the young master of the master's family who has arrived!"
Xue Ping said: "Come on, why are you panicking?"
Of course he knew that the young master was coming. Last night his son-in-law had already told him that Cheng Sang and his group had arrived at the villa.
They didn't come to the villa for sightseeing, but to inspect the mineral veins.
Old Master Feng glanced at Xue Ping and said, "It seems that you know when you secretly interacted with the young master of the family."
The three big masters were all aware of the Cheng family's little girl's recognition of her relatives, and they even heard about the use of Gu to recognize the relatives.
That little girl is indeed Cheng Sang’s granddaughter, a genuine descendant of the Cheng family.
But that doesn't mean they will take her seriously.
They don't even take Cheng Sang seriously, so what's there to be afraid of a mere yellow-haired girl?
Xue Ping ignored Mr. Feng's sarcasm and told him about the conflict between Master Lu and the little girl.
"Is this true?"
Old Master Feng stroked his graying beard and said, "She brought a powerful expert with her. Is she determined to use force?"
Patriarch Mu said, "I once heard from my father that Patriarch Cheng Sang also intended to use force, but unfortunately no one could match those shadow guards. We don't need to be too nervous."
Mr. Feng said, "He killed four shadow guards in a row."
Patriarch Mu smiled and said, "How can the shadow guards of Master Lu be compared with real shadow guards? The shadow masters of the mine are not so easy to deal with."
Xue Ping and Mr. Feng thought it made sense.
The shadow guards of the mine are able to compete with the puppet masters of the Holy Maiden Palace. That person might be able to deal with four of them, but what about eight or ten?
He just didn't believe that there was really someone powerful enough to use the shadow guard as a punching bag.
Just as the thought flashed through his mind, an archer rushed in, rolling and crawling.
Patriarch Mu asked, "What happened?"
The archer covered his wound and reported: "He broke in...he broke in...we can't stop him at all..."
Master Feng asked, "What do you mean? So many archers and shadow masters can't stop a little girl? How many people did she bring?"
Would they bring the armies of the two major tribes here? "Three, three..."
After the archer finished speaking, his eyes went dark and he fainted.
The three people's faces changed.
So the noise just now was not a mine explosion, but that girl and her men blew up the gate? !
How could there be such an arrogant girl! There was someone even more arrogant behind her.
Another archer rolled in with a bruised face.
He said weakly: "Young Patriarch... Young Patriarch has ordered... three chief officials to go and welcome him..."
Bang! Old Master Feng slapped the table and said indignantly:
"This is outrageous! I didn't even greet Cheng Sang in the beginning, and this little girl is so arrogant! Close the door! I'll see how she gets in!"
Mr. Feng: “…”
The head of the Mu family said solemnly: "First she beat up Lu, and then she broke the entrance door. She is trying to intimidate us."
Old Master Feng was the most irritable and extreme: "Just to show off our power, we won't go to meet her and see how powerful she is! Let all the shadow masters withdraw! We won't fight her, and we won't pay any attention to her!"
The archer didn't move.
"What are you standing there for?" Old Man Feng said unhappily.
The archer whispered, "All the shadow masters... were... beaten down."
Old Master Feng was so shocked that he stood up.
There are eight shadow masters and twenty archers at the entrance.
What does it mean that they were all beaten down? The head of the Mu family asked, "Didn't you say that you only brought three people? Are they so good at fighting?"
You know, he is a shadow master picked out of hundreds.
Even if the puppet master from the Holy Maiden Palace comes, he can still outlast her for more than ten moves.
How could he be defeated so easily by three guards?
It is indeed impossible.
Because they were defeated by Wei Xu alone.
Patriarch Mu was shocked and said, "Young Patriarch, this is a big show of power."
Old Master Feng swung his sleeves and sat down: "Humph! If she wants to fight, let her fight. I won't go out to meet her! If she has the guts, let her fight in!"
He didn't care about the lives of a few servants! But the prestige they had accumulated over the years must not be humiliated by a little girl!
"Master! Master!"
The servant of the Feng family hurried to the door of the meeting hall, "The third young master has been kidnapped! The man threatened you... to go to the door in person to redeem him!"
Mr. Feng was shocked: "What?"
His precious grandson!
"master!"
The servants of the Mu family also came, "The fifth young master has been kidnapped! I ask you to go to the door to redeem him!"
The face of the head of the Mu family did not look very good either.
Next came the Xue family's servants.
The three of them could ignore the lives and deaths of the guards, but they couldn't just leave their own sons and grandsons alone.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
Old Master Feng was so angry that he jumped up and smashed the table with one palm.
Patriarch Mu suggested, "Second uncle, let's go take a look."
Old Master Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Old Xue, what do you say?"
Xue Ping said calmly: "Now that things have come to this, it's okay to go meet her first. She caused such a big fuss as soon as she arrived. It's enough to show her power, but it's just a brave act. What's so scary about this kind of person?"
Patriarch Mu agreed, "Uncle Shi is right. A girl who has no brains and only acts rashly is no match for us! We only need to use a little trick to trick her!"
The three of them went to the door.
But there were only archers and shadow masters staggering around, with no sign of the culprit.
Mr. Feng said angrily: "She is playing tricks on us?"
Su Xiaoxiao would not wait for them there.
As for arrogance, that's all she had left over.
What's the point of coming to the door to greet him? Xue Ping looked at the only guard who still had his eyes open: "Did she leave a message?"
The guard stammered, "The young master said... 'Let...let those old guys...respectfully come to the Bamboo Garden to invite me! Otherwise, I will blow this place up!'"
I feel more sleepy after taking the medicine. If I get up early, I have to take a nap in the morning, a nap in the afternoon, and another nap after dinner. I have to find time to write whenever I have time, and sometimes I get sleepy while writing.
Today I suddenly felt a little emotional again. This rarely happens after taking medicine. I don’t know if I have drug resistance.
