Zhou Xiang felt bored. The Kong family was too weak in fighting spirit, which made her spend so much time and effort on preparation.
She shrugged and returned to her residence. Since the head of the Kong family was looking for the teacher, she didn't call the teacher over.
She didn't call the teacher, but the teacher asked her and Ling Ran to go to the Huai River together.
It's only been a few minutes? Did the Kong family head start working without any negotiation?
Ling Ran closed the door, took his wife's hand, and followed Professor Chu and the head of the Kong family.
When passing by the village, Kong Xianxian joined the team of four.
The two sides of the cut-off Huai River were already being guarded by the team members deployed by Tang Ganwen. Seeing Professor Chu coming with the head of the Kong family, he personally took five people to the beach at the bottom of the Huai River.
Standing at the place where Kong Xianxian pointed to where the light curtain appeared last time, the head of the Kong family took out a compass. He exerted force on the compass with his hand, and the needle on the compass rotated rapidly. A piece of light curtain slowly became clear from blurry.
Professor Chu, who saw this scene for the first time, was stunned, but the head of the Kong family, who also saw it for the first time, smiled. Spiritual energy, my cousin was right, there was spiritual energy everywhere. With such a large area, there must be a lot of spiritual energy.
Seeing the head of the Kong family salivating over the formation, Zhou Xiang became more certain that he was in urgent need of spiritual energy.
When Tang Ganwen saw the situation inside the formation space again, he was still shocked as he was the first time.
Kong Xianxian looked at Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran and said, "You two don't seem to be interested in the formation space!"
Zhou Xiang rolled his eyes at her. "Haha, if you stay outside this light curtain for ten days, no, ten months, you'll get tired of it. What's the point of being interested? I can't get in again. This time, it depends on whether Master Kong can find a solution."
Since Kong Xianxian couldn't get any useful information out of Zhou Xiang, she gave up and stopped provoking him.
Kong Qianchen loosened his control over the compass in his hand, and the light curtain disappeared in front of everyone again.
"Can you open it? Master Kong has indeed shown off his skills, but why don't you continue? The spiritual energy in the formation has already been sold to you, and there is no need for negotiation. What do you mean by making the light curtain disappear?"
Zhou Xiang completely ignored the sweat on Kong Qianchen's forehead and deliberately provoked him.
Kong Qianchen took a deep breath. Just making the light curtain appear had consumed too much of his internal energy. Opening it? How easy was that!
"I have personally witnessed the formation pattern here. I will go back and make preparations. It will be open tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Professor Chu nodded, "Okay, then let's wait a little longer."
On March 30th, Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran accompanied their teacher to the Huai River again. Professor Chu told Zhou Xiang that another person had come from the Kong family. "It seems you are right. The Kong family is very concerned about spiritual energy. This time, the person who came is the former head of the Kong family."
The previous head of the family? The one who carried out the plan to avoid disaster thirty years ago?
Zhou Xiang nodded. "If the formation is truly opened, Teacher, you must arrange for someone to transport the items out as soon as possible. The formation requires spiritual energy to support it, so you must not allow them to absorb the spiritual energy first. By the way, has the agreement for the spiritual energy purchase and sale been signed?"
Professor Chu was stunned. He really didn't understand formations. "The agreement hasn't been signed yet! However, Patriarch Kong paid half of the deposit."
"That won't work. No matter what, we must sign an agreement before opening the formation. This Kong family master is also a cunning man. What if he seizes the loophole in his words and absorbs the spiritual energy first? When the formation disappears, will the things inside disappear? We don't know. If we work hard for nothing and only make wedding clothes for them, we will be so frustrated."
Professor Chu nodded cautiously, "Yes! We'll sign the agreement later and then start the formation."
On the embankment, Kong Qianchen was already waiting with Kong Xianxian and Kong Haoran. There was a skinny old man beside him. Kong Qianchen and the other two treated the old man with respect.
The skinny old man was very kind. When he saw the arrival of the group of three, he smiled and nodded to Professor Chu, who was in the lead.
Then he looked at Zhou Xiang and said, "This must be Miss Zhou Xiang. I've heard of you for a long time."
Facing an old man, Zhou Xiang was very polite. Although he didn't argue with him, his attitude was not much better.
"Old sir, you are too polite. If it weren't for the grudges between the two families, I don't think a young girl like me who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth would be in the eyes of Patriarch Kong."
The old man paused, then burst into laughter. "Haha! Miss Zhou's sharp tongue is truly extraordinary after seeing it today!"
"Of course, the environment will always teach you how to behave and how to make choices, right?"
"Yes! Sometimes, you have to choose what is best for you."
"That's right! I chose what's beneficial to me. I should put myself in other people's shoes and think from their perspective. Don't blame them for being aggressive. Just keep moving forward courageously."
"Yes! We can only move forward bravely."
Zhou Xiang didn't respond anymore.
Patriarch Kong said to Professor Chu, "Professor Chu, shall we go and activate the formation now?"
Professor Chu shook his head. "Don't worry, Patriarch Kong. I know you're in a critical period of migration, but if there's a deal, there must be an agreement. Sign the agreement first, then activate the formation."
Patriarch Kong turned and looked at his youngest son, "Chen'er, you've been here for all these days, and you haven't even signed the agreement?"
Kong Qianchen looked at Zhou Xiang with deep eyes. Could it be that this girl said something again?
Seeing that Professor Chu did not mention it, he did not mention it either. He was afraid of the first situation. There were so many ships in the formation space. If the formation could not be stable after it was opened, their Kong family would have to lose at least half of their family fortune.
He whispered, "Father, there are requirements for opening the formation."
"Tell me about it."
…
After listening to this, Patriarch Kong looked at his youngest son with disappointment, "No matter what you are thinking, go sign the agreement now. Since you can't open the formation, it means there is enough spiritual energy inside. If I take action, I will definitely be able to stabilize it.
In three days, you, Xianxian, and Haoran will try your best to absorb it. If there is any left at the end, I will take it."
Kong Qianchen finally relaxed. He had been delaying on purpose. Although he had agreed to such harsh conditions, he was unwilling to see it turned into written evidence. He was really afraid that the formation would become unstable.
It doesn't matter if you call him a scoundrel. If it weren't for the spiritual energy, he wouldn't be willing to do such a thankless task!
Kong Qianchen and Professor Chu went back to their residence to sign the agreement. Zhou Xiang was waiting by the Huai River, feeling bored, and ignored the Kong family members next to him.
Patriarch Kong, however, was very interested in this girl. "Zhou Xiang, shall we talk?"
Zhou Xiang turned around in surprise, "Is it necessary?"
"have!"
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Okay, since you want to talk, let's talk!"
Patriarch Kong made an invitation gesture to Zhou Xiang, "Let's talk aside."
Zhou Xiang shook his head. "No, I'm not afraid of you. It's just that even if you plan to hide it from the people around you, I won't hide it from the person next to me."
