After spending so ti with Hu i'er and Hu Jiao'er, Su Mu decided to take his leave.
While Su Mu was on his way towards Su Yan's wooden house, at the borders of the Black Wind Trade Market, ng Wuya appeared with a murderous look on his old face.
His target was the Blood Battle Group. Or Long Zai Tian, to be precise.
Though the Blood Battle Group was one of the three big powers in the area, how could ng Wuya be afraid of them? His Disciple had narrowly escaped becoming a dead person, narrowly avoided losing her purity. This tab had to be calculated.
Although Long Hui was dead? It didn't matter! As far as ng Wuya was concerned, he still has a grandfather. If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams would be too. If it were not for having a powerful backing, how could a small and insignificant figure such as Long Hui possibly act that domineering and rampant?
So in ng Wuya's eyes, Long Zai Tian was even more hateful! Even more deserving of death!
The distance between High Heaven Pavilion and the Blood Battle Group wasn't that much. Furthermore, with ng Wuya's speed, he arrived in the ti it takes to drink a cup of tea.
Although his cultivation was sealed, he was still far above a normal 9th Stage Immortal Ascension with just the fact that he uses Saint Qi, unlike normal Immortal Ascension Cultivators who use True Qi. The advanced Martial Techniques and his profound experience were just the cherries on top.
At that very mont, the higher-ups of the Blood Battle Group were discussing so important affairs.
This eting was being held in the Grand Hall. The Group Head, Hu Man was currently sitting straight with his tough and stocky build. His face was full of harsh features; with a single glance, one could tell he wasn't so benevolent person.
The subordinates under Hu Man, the fellow Lords of the Blood Battle Group, were all sitting straight, respectfully. These people were currently reporting the small and big matters of the group that had occurred in the past month; the profits, the expenditures, etc.
Listening to this made Hu Man extrely impatient. Waving his arms, he spoke. "Don't speak about these trivial matters. How is the process of breaking that mining area's seals going?"
A young person of around twenty-seven years of age stood up at that mont. Respectfully, he replied to Hu Man, "Reporting to the Group Head, grandfather already has so rough sketches. It's just the number of experts within the group is far too little. Although the seals are old, they aren't easily dispelled. The other day, grandfather had asked Long Jun to pass on the ssage that he is already making the utmost effort and will try to break the seals in the shortest ti possible."
The young man was Long Zai Tian's eldest grandchild, Long Hui's elder brother, Long Jun. He was already at the 2nd Stage of True Elent Realm, and although he couldn't be compared to those geniuses beloved by the heavens, his aptitude wasn't too bad.
Even though Long Jun was only at the True Elent Second Stage, he was still given important tasks and held the position of Lord because the Long Family's position within the group wasn't low.
Hu Man rely nodded his head. "This is good. Long Jun, if you have the ti, please go to the mining site to bring your grandfather my thanks for his troubles."
"Yes."
"It's unknown what profound mysteries are hidden within those seals, to be actually hidden tens of feet underground." A random Lord spoke out.
"But this is all thanks to our Lady i'er and her clear sight. If it wasn't for her telling us that sothing unusual was hidden beneath the mine, then we would have never known about the matter."
"That's right, that's right. Even though Lady i'er's age is young, her eyes truly are special. It is unknown as to how she saw this."
Hearing the people in the room praising Hu i'er, although their words contained traces of flattery, they still made Hu Man comfortable listening to them. But when he thought of Hu i'er's female body, he would still have to marry her out. At this point, Hu Man couldn't help but sigh.
'From your grandmother, I, your father am wise and strong. Within the family are various concubines, working away every night diligently, yet how do I only have two daughters?' This was one of Hu Man's sore points. As the family's sole male, how would he continue the family? At this thought, Hu Man could only be depressed.
[A/N- anwhile Su Mu: Chill mate, I'll help. ( )]
That group of people were still praising Hu i'er's peculiar eyes, and also continuously added many praises for Hu Jiao'er as well.
But thinking about it again, it was indeed quite odd. The mining site was discovered quite a few years ago while the Group was continuously mining the Bright Yang Stones and Bright Yin Stones during these years, making a lot of money. In these years the Blood Battle Group had expanded quite rapidly, while a large portion ca from that mining site.
Even after all this, no one knew that a few more ters down, there was such a mysterious thing hidden.
Yet two months earlier, Hu Man's younger daughter, Hu i'er, ca one day to tell him this news. At that ti, he had only laughed at this news while thinking that she was playing a silly prank on him.
It was only after Hu i'er's nagging that Hu Man begrudgingly decided to send so people to investigate.
Hu i'er had clearly stated that this affair couldn't be leaked to the Long Family. But Hu Man didn't care about the news; he felt that it was his daughter's mischievousness to attract his attention. Coupled with the fact that the mine site was under the managent of Long Zai Tian, he naturally couldn't hide it from him.
The evacuation site that Hu i'er said wasn't that far from the mine. Ten or so Blood Battle Group Disciples painstakingly spent several days before discovering that sothing was truly unordinary in the place they were digging. They found that the place was filled with mysterious seals, so the disciples ran back to report this finding to various elders.
After Hu Man received the news, he imdiately went to personally investigate. Unfortunately, he couldn't see or hear anything thanks to the seals.
In the Blood Battle Group, Long Zai Tian was the eldest, and the one with the most experience. Not to ntion he already knew about the matter, so Hu Man put him in charge; to see what was hidden within those restrictions.
Hu Man had a feeling, that the thing hidden within was so type of unspeakable secret. If the Blood Battle Group was able to obtain it, then their power would rise by another level. Not only would their power rise, but they might also be able to surpass the Eight Great Families; at the very least, they would be able to stand on equal footing with them.
Hu Man was also a bit vexed. At the ti, Hu i'er had constantly warned him to not let the Long family know of this news, but he hadn't taken her seriously at all, which naturally pissed Hu i'er a lot. Now, not only did the Long Family know, but all the upper echelons of the group knew as well.
After returning from the mining area that day, Hu Man didn't waste any ti before running over to Hu i'er, who, for so reason, permanently started staying with Hu Jiao'er, to ask how she knew about the secret hidden beneath the mining area.
What he didn't expect was that due to this affair, Hu i'er held a small grudge against him. Through the bustle, Hu Man found out that Hu i'er learned this secret through the guidance of an expert. It was this expert that discovered the secret in the mine.
Because of his mindlessness, he failed the task that the expert had entrusted his daughter. And that expert didn't want the Long Family to know of this news.
Little did he know, Su Mu didn't really mind the Long Family sneaking around the place. He knew that the only person who could force open the inheritance by sheer force was ng Wuya. And if ng Wuya failed to do so, Su Mu planned on doing it himself after his cultivation reaches the True Elent Realm.
"My daughter, who is this expert like?" Hu Man held a deep respect for this hidden expert. To be able to see the hidden secrets ters below the ground symbolised that they possessed high cultivations. In Hu Man's mind, that expert must have possessed Heaven and Earth shocking power.
"What kind of expert?" At the ti, the image of Su Mu appeared in Hu i'er's mind, causing her face to turn red. Glancing at her father, she replied, "Not telling you!"
Seeing her reaction, Hu Man beca rooted to the spot. This made him wonder if his daughter held feelings for that expert.
Moving his eyes a little, Hu Man noticed that his eldest daughter, Hu Jiao'er, was blushing even harder than her younger sister.
'Heavens. Not only i'er but the prideful and arrogant Jiao'er as well?' At this discovery, Hu Man almost felt his body losing its strength. Just how many talented young n were trying their best to get a bit of his daughters' attention. To think they have feelings for the sa person and mutually agree to it as well.
After a series of roundabout inquiries, Hu Man beca astonished. This expert was a young person. This type of person, how could their birth be ordinary?
"i'er, Jiao'er, is it possible that you two have feelings for this other party?" Full of spirit, Hu Man made his inquires. In his eyes, his daughters would have to marry at so point, but the most important question was who they would be married to. Although it would be weird for both of them to marry a single person, as long as the other party had the capabilities, Hu Man didn't mind as long as his daughters agreed. If they could marry into one of the Eight Great Families, then it couldn't be any better. Then the Blood Battle Group would be able to soar up like a phoenix.
Not to ntion that with these keen eyes, the young superior person wouldn't be a bad match for his daughters.
"If we do like him, what can you do about it?" Hu Jiao'er growled. The only thing that changed about her was how she acted in front of Su Mu, for others, she was the sa prideful Hu Jiao'er.
"If you two like them, then try to get closer to them. My daughters are beautiful, could it be that he doesn't put you two in his eyes?" Hu Man egged her on, "Wait, could it be that he already has a wife? What could this be counted as? A man having more than two or three wives is very ordinary."
At his words, both Hu i'er and Hu Jiao'er fell into a trance.
"Little sister, how many won do you think he has?" Hu Jiao'er asked with a pondering expression.
"I never bothered to ask him that. But considering how he is, the number shouldn't be small. Isn't that right, big sis?" Hu i'er replied, giving any Jiao'er a aningful grin, making the latter embarrassed.
Hu Man could only smile bitterly as his two daughters were now completely leaving him out of this conversation. Neither Hu i'er nor Hu Jiao'er slipped Su Mu's na into their conversation.
