"Why?"
A big question mark popped into Lin Yaodong's head.
The Gong family is bullying me like this.
Why do I need to help you find it?
That doesn't make sense!
Lin Yaodong tried his best to calm himself down, but he was still furious at being deceived.
I simply cannot accept such a thing.
In his view.
If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Xu was dug out from inside the ice sheet...
He might then waste his remaining precious time on something that does absolutely nothing to help him.
Now everyone understands the truth.
Why should we help the Gong family search?
Lin Yaodong expressed his confusion.
His eyes, fixed on Xu Jin, were filled with deep doubt.
"Elder Lin, based on your description, if I'm not mistaken, the Gong family has a cultivator who is close to breaking through to the Spirit Realm."
Xu Jin's expression was very serious, conveying his attitude to Lin Yaodong.
“If you stop searching now, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Gong family. Whether the Gong family discovers that your illness can be cured by someone else, or discovers my existence, our situation will become very passive.”
"Our top priority is to cure your illness and restore my strength!"
"Maintaining the search for the Antarctic ice sheet can temporarily lull the Gong family into a false sense of security, preventing them from taking any further action against the Lin family."
"after all……"
"From a positional standpoint, you are on one side now."
Xu Jin explained his meaning to Lin Yaodong in its entirety.
After the events in Kunlun Realm.
He deeply realized that one should be low-key in life and cautious in action.
Until we are absolutely certain.
Avoid making a fool of yourself.
He slept for a full 1,000 years before waking up, not wanting to be targeted again so soon.
He wanted to recover his strength step by step, steadily and surely.
He knew now was not the time to let his guard down.
Never let the same stone trip you up twice.
“Mr. Xu, do you mean that if I withdraw my people from the Antarctic ice sheet now, the Gong family will discover the changes in our Lin family?”
Lin Yaodong said with a frown.
He really hadn't thought of that level.
In the past, it was always others who had to guess what he was thinking.
He rarely tries to guess what others are thinking.
Even when facing the Gong family, one of the eight great families.
He didn't think too much about anything other than his illness.
All along.
He felt it was a mutually beneficial transaction.
Only now do I realize that this was not a win-win situation, but rather a one-sided exploitation.
"That's exactly what I mean." Xu Jin nodded.
"The Gong family is one of the eight great families, a truly powerful family. Even if our cooperation ends, they won't do anything to me, right?" Lin Yaodong was still stuck in a businessman's mindset. In his opinion, if this matter were handled by the Gong family, at most it would just be a breakdown in negotiations.
How about this?
"I'll negotiate with the Gong family."
Tell them you can't find it.
"That way I won't have to search anymore!"
Lin Yaodong thought about it again and still felt that there was no need to continue making unnecessary investments.
Spending money is acceptable.
But money should be spent wisely.
That's his way of thinking.
"Old Lin, you're too naive. When the Gong family sent you to find the Extreme Cold Ice Crystal, you were already caught up in this storm." Xu Jin shook his head slightly.
"Could they possibly force me?" Lin Yaodong's brow twitched violently. He was a man of considerable influence in the Jianghai Safe Zone and had never heard of the eight major families coercing people. They had always been quite aloof.
"Why do you think they deceived you?" Xu Jin suddenly revealed a meaningful smile. The way the eight great families did things was exactly the same as the major forces in the Kunlun Realm.
"This..." Lin Yaodong was speechless. He had always trusted the reputation of the eight great families until he realized that he had been deceived.
“Because the Extreme Cold Ice Crystal is very important to the Gong family, and you are very rich, you can meet their needs, so they choose to use you,” Xu Jin explained slowly. “But if you can no longer be used, then they will have to resort to force; they will not give up the Extreme Cold Ice Crystal.”
"Depend on!"
Lin Yaodong couldn't hold back any longer and started cursing. This kind of thing was simply unethical.
The Gong family, one of the eight great families, would actually do such a thing!
How is this any different from being a robber?!
He hadn't thought of it that way at first, but after Xu Jin's reminder, he immediately understood the reasoning behind it.
This is utterly unreasonable!
He never expected that the Gong family might be unreasonable!
"But is all my money just going to be wasted like this? The money spent on excavating the Antarctic ice sheet is just too enormous. I'm heartbroken if this continues!"
Lin Yaodong said with a mournful face.
Even though he is very rich.
But that doesn't mean he'll spend money recklessly.
He genuinely didn't want to continue this obviously meaningless waste of money.
"This money buys you time," Xu Jin said calmly.
"I see……"
Lin Yaodong sighed helplessly, then nodded. He knew there was no other way now, and said coldly, "I will make the Gong family pay back the money with interest!"
"That day will come." Xu Jin smiled slightly. Now that he had woken up, everything was arranged properly, and there was nothing risky to be had.
“Mr. Xu, you know pretty much everything about me. Actually, I’ve always been very curious about the Kunlun Realm. You see…” Lin Yaodong stared at Xu Jin, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
