"Has anything major happened here recently?" Shang Xiye thought for a moment, then added, "Or perhaps, a banditry?"
Zhou Xiuyu stumbled and nearly fell to the ground as the ghost mask pulled him, but he dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction. He still answered respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Maple Moon Continent has always been peaceful under the management of our Zhou family and the Dongdan family, and there are no bandits."
"Young Master..." A member of the Zhou family standing beside Zhou Xiuyu was about to say something when he heard this, but was stopped by a glare from Zhou Xiuyu.
"Smack!" Ghost Face raised its claw and slashed at Zhou Xiuyu again.
This time, he slapped Zhou Xiuyu so hard that he flew into the courtyard wall, almost causing it to collapse.
"You say," Ghost Face's claw moved horizontally, pointing at the disciple who was about to speak.
The disciple swallowed hard, saying, "Replying to Immortal Master, our young master is right. Maple Moon Continent has always been peaceful, and there have been no bandit incidents. But speaking of major events, I wonder if the Dongdan family's sudden falling out with our Zhou family counts?"
"What kind of big deal is this? This is clearly your family matter..." Ghost Face was about to swing his claw to knock the disciple away again.
Shang Xiye stopped him, picked up a small stool, sat down leisurely, and said, "Tell me the whole story from beginning to end."
The other powerful demons followed suit, finding places to sit down casually.
more than this.
They each kicked over a member of the Zhou family, and then used the Zhou family member as a stool to press him down on their buttocks.
Even Zhou Xiuyu, who was badly injured from the collision, was used as a stool by the bear demon.
When the bear demon squatted down, Zhou Xiuyu was so pressed down that his eyes rolled back, and he almost fainted on the spot.
Of all the Zhou family members present, only the one who had been speaking escaped unscathed.
Seeing this, the Zhou family member dared not hesitate any longer and spilled out the grudges between the Zhou family and the Dongdan family.
However, he did not know the details of the Dan family and He family mines in the east of Guyue City.
He thought the Dongdan family had been secretly mining a Zizhan iron mine without the Zhou family's knowledge, which was the cause of the dispute between the two families.
Those powerful demons, including Ghost Face, didn't detect anything suspicious.
Only Shang Xiye found it increasingly unreliable as he listened: "The Zi iron ore is indeed valuable, but according to what you're saying, your Zhou family and the Dongdan family have been allies for over a thousand years, otherwise they wouldn't have joined forces to manage the Maple Moon Continent."
Moreover, you have signed a resource-sharing alliance agreement.
The Dongdan family put in the effort and mined the mines on their own, while your Zhou family did nothing and just waited to reap the rewards.
"Having such a considerate ally, shouldn't your Zhou family be celebrating with firecrackers? Instead, you've turned against the Dongdan family because of it!"
“Uh…” The young man was stunned.
What this immortal said makes perfect sense!
Logically speaking, the Zhou family should have benefited greatly and should be grateful to the Dongdan family, but why were the family head and elders so angry?
"It seems that the Maple Moon Continent is not as peaceful as you all say," Shang Xiye said, and hurriedly got up and walked out of the Zhou residence.
When getting up.
He casually said to the group of powerful demons behind him, "The bear demon and the wolf demon will stay at the Zhou family's residence to guard the teleportation array. The rest of you, come with me."
"Yes, Young Master Shang," the bear demon and wolf demon said, sharpening their claws and giving a chilling smile.
Ghost Face lagged behind timidly, preparing to hide behind the largest bear demons in order to teleport away at the last minute.
