Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Wind Rises at the Tip of the Reed

this is our only encounter. If tomorrow confirms I'm not the dragon messenger, our connection with the Land of Divine Grace ends tonight. How could I fall in love with someone here"Perhaps she could...With the death of the Hu family father and son, the matter of the Hu family mine came to an end.

The truth was uncovered, the mastermind behind it all was brought to justice, and there was compensation from the Xi family, as well as the Hu family's assets, and compensation from those five small families in Jiacheng...

>

It has it all: the truth, personal gain, appearances, and everything in between.

This time the depletion of the Tianqing Stone vein was a complete success, no one could find fault with it.

He laid the foundation for taking over and integrating Chong Xuan's businesses in Yang Guo after him.

>

Jiang Wang's prestige at the Hu Mining Company has also been established.

A trustworthy person possesses both authority and integrity.

He who kills pigs' bones is one who stands firm.

Releasing Su Xiuxing and pursuing Hu Shaomeng is an act of integrity.

After this battle, no one at Hu's mine would ever doubt what Jiang Wang said again.

The obedience of those miners and mine guards was needless to say, Zhang Hai also expressed his loyalty several times.

Arrange for the mine to resume operations, inventory and organize related resources, contact Chong Xuan Sheng and ask him to send people to take over...

His goal was to integrate all of Chongxuan's businesses throughout Yanguo and establish this as Chongxuan's stronghold. And the Hu family mine would be the foundation for him to achieve that.

After finishing all his business, Jiang Wang returned to his room, and only then did he have time to clean up his own harvest.

Apart from the rare and esoteric techniques, Jiang Wang handed over all other resources to Chong Xuan Sheng as compensation for the five minor clans.

Including the Hu family's assets and Xi family's compensation, Jiang Wang took not a single penny.

Of course, how Chong Xuan Sheng divided the spoils from his mid-game geometrical manipulations and how much he gave to his family is his own business.

His personal gains included a celestial azure cloud sheep, the spirit of the Azure Cloud Stone, four hundred and fifty Taoist origin stones, the Treasure Light Decision (a skill), and a magic mirror that greatly enhanced illusion techniques.

Among them, Tianqing Yunyang planned to give half to Chongxuan Sheng because although he had taken it back from others, after all, it was a vein of ore from the Chongxuan family.

Tianqing Cloud Sheep can be directly digested and absorbed, greatly enhancing the user's control over wood elemental energy and strengthening wood-related talents. Even half of its power is not to be underestimated.

Can be regarded as the advanced effect of refining the body of the Four Spirits and completing the Blue Dragon chapter.

But to avoid an imbalance of the five elements, Jiang Wang planned to complete his cultivation in the White Tiger chapter and then use it after the convergence of the four spirits.

The efficacy of the Bao Guang Jue lies in the practitioner's ability to see a "Bao Guang" with a certain probability. The strength of the Bao Guang reflects the preciousness of the treasure it contains.

Hu Shao Meng's mirror was called "Hong Zhuang." After studying it, Jiang Wang discovered that it had an illusion-casting enchantment built in. This was the reason why Hu Shao Meng could appear and disappear at will.

Although phantoms lack combat capability, their ability to deceive is invaluable.

Not to mention, "red makeup" can also be hidden in the world reflected in the mirror.

However, once a person enters the Mirror World, the mirror itself loses its protection. Before the refining process is complete, Jiang Wang doesn't plan to personally explore it.

After entering the ethereal realm and communicating with Chong Xuan Sheng, Jiang Wang stepped out of the room.

As expected, Xiaoxi stood at the door, seemingly having been there for a long time.

"Master, I would never dare to lie to you. Feeding the flesh of Hu Shao Meng and that monster to the dogs was my own decision. Miss Zhu only helped me cover it up. They were your enemies, and I heard that if they were eaten by beasts, they would never be reborn. I didn't want them to have a chance to seek revenge on you in the next life."

She lowered her head, waiting silently for the verdict.

Jiang Wang was not surprised.

Someone who grew up in a greenhouse like Bamboo Jade, would find it hard to conceive of such cruel ideas.

He didn't expose her at the time, giving her a small chance. If she didn't seize it, the opportunity would be gone.

In this harsh world, the bottom line of human beings has become unprecedentedly low. Some people die for honor, while others bend their knees for wealth.

What made Jiang Wang wary was not the small line itself, but her concealment of it.

"Next time, don't call me master." Jiang Wang said as he walked out.

“There won't be a next time.” Xiao Xiao stood behind him, biting her lip.

The Hu family mine yielded nothing, and the soldiers returned to the city with their tails between their legs. Even Xi Zi Chu had no desire to maintain a composed demeanor.

A cat entered the house silently.

The death of a Tenglong Realm elder is a significant event for the Xi Family, who only have four Tenglong Realm fighters.

But relative to the Hu family's fate, it doesn't seem so hard to accept.

The City Lord's Mansion was heavily guarded, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Having offended someone of the Xuan family's standing, even with compensation, it seems to have only partially appeased the situation. However, as the weaker party, such a reaction is not entirely unexpected.

Xi Zi Chu thought this way, and walked to his father's study.

The soldier at the gate did not dare to stop him and let him knock on the door.

“Come in.” A moment passed before a voice echoed from within the room.

As he pushed open the door, Xi Zi Chu first saw Liu Shisheng sitting with his back to him. His father, Xi Mu Nan, was behind the writing desk, his face half-scowled.

The city guards, led by their commander and deputy, as well as the officials in charge of security, were seated around

...and all the members of the Xi family bowed to Xi Zi Chu.

It seems they are discussing something important.

...But Xi Zichu himself was completely unaware of this.

He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"Father, what is it" he asked.

Xi Muran glanced at him and waved his hand: "Just do as I just said, get to work."

“The student has withdrawn.” Elder Liu rose first, bowed, and led the way out.

He came from a Confucian background but was unwilling to take up an official position. Before the magistrate Mu Nan, he always called himself a student as a sign of respect.

As for Xi Zi Chu, he merely nodded in acknowledgement.

Regardless of what was in his heart, at least on the surface, Xi Zi Chu did not dare to be negligent. He returned the salute seriously and then bowed one by one to the others who were flowing out.

With the departure of the last person, the door was shut.

Xi Zi Chu looked at his father's grim face and couldn't help but ask, "What happened, Father"

Xi Mu Nan avoided the topic: "Tell me about you."

“I lost, lost very cleanly. I found nothing in the mine. Hu Shaomeng's treasure was the spirit of Tianqing Cloud Stone, manifested as a celestial cloud sheep, which was obtained by Jiang Wang.”

Xi Zi Chu didn't shirk responsibility and directly admitted, "The family suffered heavy losses this time, and the responsibility is entirely mine."

Xi Mu Nan quietly looked at him for a while, looking at his only son.

He also had two sons in his early years, but one died young and the other was killed by enemies.

As for his last son, to whom he entrusted everything, he did not spoil him excessively but rather disciplined him very strictly.

Here is the translation:>Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

This kind of "discipline" doesn't involve moral conduct, but mainly involves scheming and plotting, cultivation battles, and worldly affairs.

In his view, being a playboy was not a bad thing. It was good for the Xi family to have many branches and descendants. That was the right way.

Pride itself is not the issue; the problem lies in having the capability to match one's pride.

“Even I, would have to call him Uncle when addressing the elder who died in the Hu mining field.” Xi Munan said: “He could have been enjoying his retirement at home. He should have died peacefully in a warm bed, not been murdered in the cold mine shafts.”

“He is now the only Tenglong Realm fighter available to the Xi family. I asked him to come out and help you, and he was very willing. Because you are a descendant of the Xi family, the future of the Xi family. Because he is your uncle!”

Xi Muran pressed his forehead: "But I, didn't even get to see his body come back."
