Kong Xianxian didn't know if she could express herself clearly over the phone given her current mood, but the three pairs of eyes staring at her eagerly forced her to pick up the phone and make the call.
"Master!"
When Kong Qianchen heard his cousin speaking Mandarin, he realized that this call could not be private.
"Um."
"What appeared here is a large-scale formation space. I can't do it. Even the light curtain was not found by me. There are many shipwrecks in it. Maybe, there may be a lot of spiritual energy. I, I need that spiritual energy, and you need it too."
Zhou Xiang frowned when she heard the word spiritual energy. She absolutely could not let the Kong family get any benefits.
Kong Qianchen had originally planned to come here slowly with everyone, but now that spiritual energy appeared in the inland and there were people who interested him, he became tempted.
"Okay! I'll be there right away."
"I'll ask you to contact your superiors first."
"Um."
As soon as Kong Xianxian hung up the phone, Zhou Xiang asked Tang Ganwen to make a call, "Captain, call the old leader immediately."
Seeing Zhou Xiang's serious expression, Tang Ganwen didn't waste any words. After dialing the number, he handed it to Zhou Xiang.
"Old leader?"
"It's me, girl, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"The thing is, you know the grudge between the Kong family and us. They provoked me first. Let's not talk about that topic for now. What I want to say is that Miss Kong Xianxian just mentioned to her family head the spiritual energy in the formation space. They need this spiritual energy, but this is what Ling Ran and I discovered. I don't agree with them taking the spiritual energy away.
Everyone can offer a superficial account of the ancient legends of cultivation. Even more broadly, historical records document the existence of Qigong practitioners before the Qin Dynasty. So why is the air quality on Earth so poor now? Has the spiritual energy in the air been destroyed by these selfish people?
To put it simply, let's talk about my personal grudges. The spiritual energy I found will never be used on my enemies. I would rather let it evaporate into the air and let ordinary people breathe it in, rather than give it to those who think they are so powerful to supplement their needs.
So, I have to tell you right away, when that family head mentions spiritual energy, you must not agree to it."
The old leader laughed heartily. This girl was truly vindictive! She immediately intercepted what the other party wanted.
"Then, what if he can't get the spiritual energy and won't open the formation space?"
"Well," Zhou Xiang paused, "let's put the overall situation first! Since he's making conditions, you can also make conditions. Sell it to him for a high price. The captain is so poor that he requisitioned my phone. Then earn some pocket money for them. The big family is the richest."
"Hahahaha, fine, fine! If it doesn't work out, I'll sell it to the Kong family, but the money I earn should go to you and Ling Ran."
"We don't want it. I'm afraid they'll drug the money and give it to the captain and his men. Then the Kong family won't dare to do it."
"You girl, okay, everyone who participates in this mission will get a bonus."
After hanging up, Zhou Xiang swung the phone in his hand and smiled provocatively, "Ms. Kong Xianxian, what do you think? Is my request reasonable? This is what I discovered. It was me who used the stone to activate the light curtain just now. You didn't contribute anything, so don't even think about the benefits. Especially when I'm in a good mood, I love to see others feel frustrated the most."
He returned the phone to Tang Ganwen, "Here! Feel free to use it! Ling Ran paid a lot of phone bills, and I even earned some pocket money for you guys! Don't thank me too much, or I'll be embarrassed."
Tang Ganwen took the phone and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law. I thank you on behalf of all the brothers."
"Oh! I told you, I'd be embarrassed. Don't thank me. I can't do anything right now. I'm going back to rest."
"Okay! Go back and rest! I'll send someone to call you if anything happens."
Ling Ran followed his wife away. Tang Ganwen said to Kong Xianxian awkwardly, "Let's wait until your family head has finished talking to the higher-ups. You should go back and rest too!"
Looking at the slender figure leaving, Tang Ganwen shook his head. These people from big families are not very good at fighting! They were beaten to pieces by their younger brother and sister-in-law alone.
After returning to his residence, Ling Ran asked his wife why she thought there was something fishy about his uncle?
Zhou Xiang touched his chin and said, "I said it suddenly occurred to me. Do you believe me? When I mentioned asking her to give Jiang the medicine, it suddenly occurred to me. Since the Kong family has the medicine, then my uncle, as a direct relative, cannot be without it.
Could such a direct relative be killed by Zhou and Jiang? I don't believe it at all. I thought about the saying that cultivators can sense when their end is near. Didn't the Yamazaki family take in such a person?
What if this uncle sacrificed his life for the sake of his family's smooth migration? Crossing the ocean with so much wealth and family members couldn't be smooth sailing, so what if all this led to his own misfortune?
These people, for the sake of their family and future generations, can do anything. This is different from the ordinary people like us who settle accounts with our brothers.
Another loophole is: if the ship was escorted by the uncle, why was it filled with ordinary gold and silver treasures? Was the uncle not important enough? If not important enough, why did he take revenge before returning?
But I think this uncle is very important and is a textbook figure in their family. Otherwise, how could Kong Haoran, who is only a teenager, know this uncle? After all, the uncle's accident happened 32 years ago.
"My uncle, who was so important, was escorting a ship carrying ordinary treasures and was destroyed by ordinary people like Zhou and Jiang. No matter how I hear it, it doesn't seem right."
Ling Ran ruffled his wife's hair. "My wife is really smart. This time, she's found their weakness and will never let them go! How long have we been working so hard to fight them?"
It turned out to be a trap, a black pot. I wasn't afraid of them before, and I'm even less afraid now. But, is it true that you said they could be wiped out?
Zhou Xiang rolled his eyes at him. "What are you imagining? There are many ways to exterminate a species. Among the powders Yamazaki gave me is a sterilization powder that works for both men and women. There's an antidote."
Ling Ran became interested. "Didn't he make several? What else?"
"There are two other types. One is called zombie powder, which I changed to obedient powder because there are two types of powder: the main type and the secondary type. The secondary type completely obeys the main type and does whatever they are told. It feels a bit like a poison, but it's all made from herbs and there is an antidote.
The other one is terrifying, Bone-Dissolving Powder. As the name suggests, it can dissolve bones. I've hidden it away, so don't take it out by mistake. There's no antidote for this thing, and even if there was, it's not available yet! Even bones can be dissolved."
"Well! Don't make Bone-Dissolving Powder anymore. It's a waste of herbs. It sounds like making Obedient Powder is fun. I'll try it when I get a chance. However, I can't let outsiders know. Otherwise, the higher-ups will be wary. Even if it's not a poison, it will still make people wary."
Zhou Xiang nodded, "I know. Try not to take it out. If you really need to use it, do it in secret."
