"Hmm? Didn't you say that the Chen family had already set out and were expected to arrive in Yong'an City today? Why haven't we seen them yet?"
"That's right. The family has prepared a lot of things this time. We will definitely be able to exchange a lot of blood rice this time."
In Yong'an City, Shen Li from the Shen family and Gandhi from the Gan family were stationed at the city gate with several clansmen.
At this moment, both of them were looking forward to it, waiting anxiously for the appearance of the Chen family members.
The last time the tribesmen used blood rice, they found that it was extremely effective for those in the Body Tempering Realm. Of course, it might also be because of the large quantity and the first time it was used.
But no matter what, the practicality of this blood rice can still be reflected.
If they could exchange for more, the overall strength of the clan members would be able to improve. After all, the Body Tempering Realm warriors in their two major families are not comparable to the dozens of people in the Chen family, and other resources are too few in number and cannot be distributed evenly among the clan members.
While thinking in their hearts, Shen Li and Gandhi looked at each other and saw vigilance in each other's eyes.
After all, the two major families have the same idea, but there is only so much blood rice. If the other party exchanges more, their family will have less.
The clan had discussed this before, and wanted to see if they could take the blood rice directly from the Chen family.
However, the appearance of Zhou Huaian a few days ago made the two major families completely give up this idea.
Although we don’t know what the relationship between the Chen family and the Zhou family is, this matter is too risky and could easily put the family in danger.
The two were quite patient and waited for a while, but it was getting darker and darker and still no one from the Chen family was seen.
This made Shen Li look doubtful:
"Did they move to another place?"
Gandhi shook his head:
"No, that mass grave is closest to Yong'an City. If the Chen family is not stupid, they would not choose to sell it somewhere else. Besides, the family has not received any news."
"Where are Xie Hongyuan and Shi Jian? Why don't they come over?"
The two looked around and indeed did not see the other two people.
This made the two of them feel more and more uneasy. They believed that the other two major families had also seen the effect of blood rice, but this time the two major families did not send any clan members to intercept it in advance. This was too unreasonable.
"Go, send your clansmen to look for them along the way, and write back immediately when you find the Chen family members."
"yes!"
…
"Your Excellency, what you mean is that from now on, all the blood rice of my Chen family will be sold to you?"
"Yes, my Xie family is no different from the other three families. The resources within the family are quite abundant. As for your family's blood rice, the family can accept it."
Xie Hongyuan smiled slightly, then slowly picked up the teacup on the table and sipped it.
After hearing this, Chen Tianquan fell into deep thought.
A few days ago, he took the family supplies and clansmen to Yong'an City, but he was stopped by someone from the Xie family on the way and invited to talk in detail.
Recalling what the patriarch said when he left, Chen Tianquan had made up his mind. It seemed that the person who had delivered the message to the family before was probably the Xie family.
But Chen Tianquan did not rush to agree. After thinking for a while, he replied:
"I need to discuss this with the clan leader. Is that possible?"
"Of course you can. My tribe has messenger birds that can fly to the Mass Burial Hill within two days."
Xie Hongyuan clapped his hands, and a familiar flying bird soon landed in his palms.
Looking at the small red and white flying bird in front of him, Chen Tianquan was certain that the messenger was Xie Hongyuan, because he had seen the bird before.
"Thank you, Miss Xie. Please wait a moment."
Chen Tianquan did not choose to send the message by bird, but instead put his hands together and began to pray with a pious look.
This is a method of communication that the family has only recently adopted, but now only members of the family who are in the Blood Coagulation Realm can use it.
On the side, Xie Hongyuan put down the teacup in her hand upon seeing this, with a serious look on her face.
The incense totem lives up to its reputation.
If the Chen family is allowed to develop, its strength cannot be underestimated.
Unfortunately, the development of a family often takes decades or even longer, but among them, few families can survive to the end.
What's more, there are too few people in the Chen family now, and it will take at least 20 to 30 years for the children in the family to grow up and become independent.
Although there is potential, it is not a cause for concern.
Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Xie Hongyuan's face again.
As Chen Tianquan's body twitched, his clasped hands quickly dropped down.
After finishing his prayer, Chen Tianquan looked at Xie Hongyuan, who had a puzzled look on her face, and said:
"Okay, I've made the contact."
"The clan has already agreed, but the family still has a small request. I wonder if Miss Xie can agree to it?"
Xie Hongyuan frowned slightly, but still said:
"But it's okay."
"In order to thank the Xie family for their many times of assistance, the family can sell blood rice to the Xie family in the future, and the price will not increase. As for another small request, the family hopes to own a shop in Yong'an City. It doesn't have to be too big, as long as it can sell some sundries to the outside world."
"The family is quite weak in this area, so I would like to ask Miss Xie for help. As for the rent or price of the shop, it will be borne by the family."
Upon hearing this request, Xie Hongyuan's eyebrows relaxed quickly, and then she smiled:
"It's a simple matter. Although my Xie family's shops in the city are not as good as the Shi family's, we still have some left. There is a shop on the southern street of the city. I will send someone to deliver the deed of that shop later. You can also send someone to take a look. If it is not suitable, we can change it."
"That's not necessary. The family usually just sells some unused items. In this case, I'll trouble you, Miss Xie."
"polite!"
The two smiled at each other, and the families completed a pleasant cooperation.
…
"Your Excellency, we have not found any trace of the Chen family."
"They seem to have disappeared!"
After Shen Li and Gandhi, who had been waiting at the city gate for a long time, received reports from their subordinates, their expressions changed slightly.
The disappearance of the Chen family and the absence of people from the other two families both contain a possibility.
This possibility is that before the Chen family arrived in Yong'an City, they had already been intercepted by the other two families.
It is precisely because of this that the two major families did not send anyone over this time, because they knew that it would be in vain even if they came.
If they intercept it in advance, the blood rice sold by the Chen family will not have to be distributed to them!
Both of them thought of this, and their faces turned extremely ugly. They had agreed on fair competition, but the two big families relied on their strength to play dirty tricks on them!
"hateful!"
“It’s really abominable!”
"The Xie family and the Shi family are going too far!"
"Let's go, I will report this to the family now!"
"Me too!"
Both of them cursed angrily, and then walked towards the family angrily.
