News of the deaths of Dong Dan Wenhao and Zhou Mingxuan reached Yanjing on the Maple Moon Continent one after the other.
Although Dongdan Wenhao was the young master of the Dongdan family, his death still caused a shock within the Dongdan family.
However, he was only suspected of being killed by Zhou Mingxuan and his siblings. Although there were many objects to prove it, no one caught him in the act.
Therefore, even though Dong Dan Wenhao's father, the head of the Dong Dan family, was furious, he only sent someone to the Zhou family to deliver a message, asking them to hand over Zhou Mingxuan and his sister to explain the situation, considering the superficial friendship and shared interests between the two families.
Before the Zhou family could give a reply, news of Zhou Mingxuan's death and the interception of Zhou Boqing's birthday gifts by Dongdan Shuiyue reached the capital.
The Zhou family was already feeling resentful at being questioned by the Dongdan family for no reason.
Dong Dan Shuiyue killed Zhou Mingxuan and stole his birthday gift without any investigation, causing the Zhou family, led by Zhou Boqing, to lose their composure.
"The Dongdan family is simply going too far! Just because they brought a third-tier alchemist here, they think they can control everything in the Maple Moon Continent!" Zhou Boqing slammed his fist on the table in anger, concerned for his own interests.
"On the surface, our Zhou family and the Dongdan family appear to be on good terms, but we all know the truth in our hearts. We agreed that our two families would jointly develop the Maple Moon Continent and share the profits equally, so that neither of us would lose out. However, we have mentioned the Zi Iron Mine that the Dongdan family discovered in the Monster Forest outside Guyue City so many times, but they still haven't allowed any of our people to enter. I think they are clearly planning to dominate the Maple Moon Continent. Relying on the fact that they have a third-level alchemist, they are now openly tearing off the mask." Zhou Boqing's son, Zhou Xiuxuan, added fuel to the fire and launched into a long speech.
The rest of the Zhou family thought about what the father and son had said and found it to be true and reasonable. So they all clamored to go to Dongdan's house to reason with them.
The two families argued back and forth for almost a month, and each sent their younger relatives and some people to Guyue City to investigate the details.
In reality, everyone knows that the reason they send more people over is to better control resources; verifying the details is secondary.
During this month, the Dan family in the east of Guyue City once again filled their warehouses with various resources.
As usual, it was time to transport it back to Yanjing.
Dongdan Shuiyue knew in her heart that if Dongdan Wenhao died, people from Yanjing would definitely come.
The core members of the family are all focused on the resource transfer between Maple Moon Continent and Pill Spirit Continent, so it's unlikely they'll come at this time.
The only people who could come from Yanjing are Dongdan Zhanpeng or Dongdan Yinxiang.
Therefore, her delivery of supplies was their first test before they arrived.
If she suffers any loss, they will definitely make a big deal out of it, and her standing in the elders' hearts will be greatly diminished.
Dongdan Shuiyue was very cautious and sent her most trusted confidant, Dongdan Motong, to personally accompany the convoy to escort the goods.
Just in case, she also packed the most precious supplies, such as the Earth Flame Crystal, into her own storage ring;
Then, a layer of camouflage was applied to the ring with ordinary gold and stone, allowing Dongdan Motong to wear it with other jewelry to confuse the wearer.
When the convoy set off, Dongdan Shuiyue was still worried, so she personally escorted it for dozens of miles with more than a hundred members of the He family.
They were about to leave the territory of Guyue City.
Dong Dan Mo Tong, concerned about Dong Dan Shui Yue Dan Tian's injury, advised, "Miss, you should go back. The Zhou family of Gu Yue City only has a few small fry left. They dare not and have no ability to touch our Dong Dan family."
