In the meeting hall of the mine, Xue Ping and the other two big shots sat in the hall for a meeting.
The latter two were Old Master Mu and Old Master Feng.
Among them, Xue Ping and Old Master Feng were about the same age. The Mu family head was a generation younger and addressed the two of them as uncles.
The three of them were discussing something in the hall when a servant of the Xue family hurriedly ran in.
“Master! Master!”
Xue Ping glared at him indifferently and asked in a low voice, “What’s the matter? Why are you so flustered?”
They were all respectable figures now. Their subordinates had also been trained and had to be polite.
The servant also knew that he had lost his composure. The matter was really too big, so he could not help but be shocked. “Something… something big happened outside!”
Old Master Feng retorted, ‘What big…”
Before he could finish, two violent sounds came from outside. The ground of the meeting hall trembled, and a few drops of tea spilled out of the teacup.
Old Master Feng asked in confusion, “Bombed a mine again? I haven’t heard of a new mine recently.”
Patriarch Mu looked in the direction of the voice. “From the sound, it sounds like the entrance to the mineral vein.”
The servant hurriedly said, “It’s the Young Master of the main family!”
Xue Ping said, “So be it. Why are you panicking!”
Of course, he knew that the Young Master was coming. Last night, his son-in-law had already said that Cheng Sang and the others had arrived at the villa.
They had never visited the villa to sightsee, so they were naturally here to patrol the mineral vein.
Old Master Feng glanced at Xue Ping. “Looks like you know since you secretly interacted with that Young Master?”
The three big shots knew about the Cheng family’s little girl acknowledging her family. They had even heard about the gu ceremony.
That little girl was indeed Cheng Sang’s grandchild. She had the Cheng family’s bloodline.
But that didn’t mean they would take her seriously.
They did not even take Cheng Sang seriously. What was there to be afraid of a mere girl?
Xue Ping ignored Old Master Feng’s sarcasm and told him about the conflict between Steward Lu and the little girl.
“Is there such a thing?”
Old Master Feng stroked his white beard. “She specially brought a powerful expert over. Is she determined to use force?”
Old Master Mu said, “I once heard from my father that the family head, Cheng Sang, also planned to use force back then. Unfortunately, no one was a match for those Shadow Guards. We don’t have to be too nervous.”
Old Master Feng said, “He killed four shadow guards in a row.”
Old Master Mu smiled. “How can Steward Lu’s Shadow Guards be compared to real Shadow Guards? The shadow experts of the mineral vein are not so easy to deal with.”
Xue Ping and Old Master Feng felt that it made sense.
The shadow guards of the mineral vein could compete with the puppet experts of the Holy Maiden Temple. That person might be able to deal with four, but what about eight or ten?
They did not believe that anyone was really powerful enough to treat the shadow guards as sandbags.
As soon as this thought flashed through their mind, an archer scrambled in. Old Master Mu asked, “What happened?”
The archer covered his wound and reported, “They… broke in… We couldn’t stop them at all…”
Old Master Feng asked, “What do you mean? So many archers and shadow experts can’t stop the little girl? How many people did she bring?” Could it be that they had brought the armies of the two tribes over?
“Three, three…
With that, the archer fainted.
The three of them changed their expressions.
So the commotion just now was not a mine explosion. It was that girl who brought people to blow up the door!
How could there be such an arrogant girl!
What was even more arrogant came a little later.
Another archer rolled in with a bruised face.
He said weakly, “Young Master… Young Master has ordered… the three of you to welcome…
Old Master Feng slapped the table and said indignantly,
“How rebellious! I didn’t even welcome Cheng Sang back then. How arrogant is the little girl! Close the door! Let’s see how she can enter!” The archer said with trepidation, “The… the door is gone.”
Old Master Feng was speechless.
Old Master Mu said with a solemn expression, “First, she beat up Steward Lu, then she broke through the entrance door. She’s making her opening gambits with us.”
Old Master Feng was the most irritable and extreme. “Opening gambit? If we don’t welcome her, let’s see how impressive she can be! Get all the shadow experts to retreat! Don’t fight her or bother with her!” The archer didn’t move.
“Why are you standing there?” Old Master Feng said angrily.
The archer whispered, “The… the shadow experts… have all been beaten up.” Old Master Feng stood up in shock.
There were eight shadow experts at the entrance, as well as 20 archers.
What did he mean by being beaten up?
Old Master Mu asked, “Didn’t they only bring three people? Why are they so good at fighting?”
One had to know that those were one-in-a-million shadow experts. Even if the puppet experts of the Saint Lady Temple came, they could last more than ten moves.
How could they easily lose to three guards?
It was indeed impossible.
Because they had lost to Wei Xu alone.
Old Master Mu said in shock, “Young Master, you’ve given me a big opening gambit.”
Old Master Feng flicked his sleeves and sat down. “Hmph! If she wants to fight, let her. I won’t go out to welcome her! If she has the ability, let her fight her way in!”
He did not care about the lives of a few servants!
On the other hand, the prestige they had accumulated over the years could not be lost in the hands of the little girl!
“Master! Master!”
The servant of the Feng family hurriedly came to the entrance of the meeting hall. “Third Young Master was captured! That person said that she wants you… to personally redeem him at the door!” Old Master Feng was shocked. “What?”
His precious grandson!
“Master!”
The servants of the Mu family also came. “Fifth Young Master has been kidnapped! They’re asking you to redeem him at the door!” Old Master Mu’s expression did not look good either.
Right on the heels of that was the Xue family’s servant.
The three of them could ignore the lives of the guards, but they could not ignore their biological sons and grandsons.
“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!”
Old Master Feng stomped his feet in anger and smashed the table. Old Master Mu suggested, “Uncles, let’s go take a look.”
Old Master Feng gritted his teeth. “Old Xue, what do you say?
Xue Ping said calmly, “At this point, there’s no harm in meeting her first. She caused such a big commotion the moment she arrived. She has already given enough of an opening gambit but it’s just bravado. What’s so scary about such a person?”
Old Master Mu agreed. “Uncle is right. A brainless girl who only knows how to act rashly is not our match at all! We only need to use a small trick to coax her!” The three of them went to the door.
However, there were only archers and shadow experts there. There was no sign of the culprit.
Old Master Feng said angrily, “She tricked us?” Su Xiaoxiao wouldn’t wait for them.
In terms of arrogance, these were all leftovers.
Why did she come to the door to welcome him?
Xue Ping looked at the only guard at the event location who still had his eyes open. “Did she leave a message?”
The guard stammered, “Young Master said… ‘Let… let those old things… welcome me respectfully at the bamboo garden! Otherwise, I’ll blow up this place!”‘
