Liao Jinjin’s pretty face turned slightly red as she took small sips of the milk tea.
Xu Xingchen’s voice was gentle: "Jinjin, you see, I’m actually very busy here and can’t accompany you. How about you go back first? I’ll come find you as soon as I get a break."
Liao Jinjin took out the straw and looked at Xu Xingchen’s face with some distress. "You’ve been working hard; you’ve even gained weight recently."
Xu Xingchen was slightly choked up. Being forced to eat six meals a day, how could he not gain weight?
However, this did not affect his looks.
Liao Jinjin shook her head directly at Xu Xingchen’s suggestion: "Xingchen, I’m not here just to see you."
Liao Jinjin paused, glanced around mysteriously seeing that no one in the milk tea shop was paying attention to her, and took out a diagram from her bag, speaking softly: "I know you want to cultivate, but your master is unreliable and progresses too slowly, so there is a shortcut."
Xu Xingchen’s eyes lit up.
A look of admiration appeared on Liao Jinjin’s face, and in a tone full of reverence, she said: "I once read in ancient texts that a thousand years ago, a great cultivation master in the heartland of Zhongzhou used the geomancy of seven dangerous mountain peaks to establish the Seven Stars Dragon Vein Array. Since then, China has been overflowing with talented individuals, but later, the Dragon Vein was dug up and severed."
"Now, although the ancient Seven Stars Dragon Vein Array is destroyed, unexpectedly there is a giant spiritual mine in the array’s eye position!"
This diagram was originally meant to be offered to the Young Master by the Council of Five Elders, but she secretly made a copy.
Xu Xingchen instantly understood Liao Jinjin’s intention, and his whole body began to tremble with excitement.
If he obtained those spiritual mines, his cultivation base would greatly improve. This update is available on novel·fıre·net
He didn’t hope to surpass Bai Chuwei, that demoness, but at least... he could trample Duan Feihan’s fourth uncle under his feet.
If he then relied on the strength of the Dark Night Domain, he might be able to smoothly reclaim everything that originally belonged to the Duan Family.
Seeing his interest, Liao Jinjin continued: "This Tianming Mountain actually belongs to the He Family. Tomorrow, the He Family and Zhou Family are getting engaged. Let’s go together to gain the He Family’s permission to go up the mountain."
The He Family’s influence in Zhongzhou is overwhelming and they are one of the eight great families.
Even though she was the daughter of Elder Liao, one of the five great elders of Dark Night, she did not dare to be presumptuous on the He Family’s territory. But it was still easy to attend the engagement banquet.
It had to be said that Xu Xingchen was tempted at this moment.
Fortune favors the bold!
The ancient influential families in Zhongzhou are countless, but the largest family among them is the He Family!
The powerful families in all of Zhongzhou have to act according to the He Family’s preferences.
He had always wanted to connect with the He Family, thinking they could become his network in the future, but had no way to do it.
If he really got in, who knew, he might be able to establish connections with the influential families of Zhongzhou and could even be allowed to extract spiritual mines, killing two birds with one stone!
If he could network with the He Family, that would be even better.
Xu Xingchen looked at Liao Jinjin, touched: "Jinjin, you are really too good to me. I don’t even know what I can do for you?"
Liao Jinjin gripped the milk tea cup tightly, her face slightly red, her watery eyes looking at him: "When you step into the cultivation path, become my Dao partner."
Without much thought, Xu Xingchen immediately agreed.
Xu Xingchen checked the time; it was almost time for his appointment with Tong Qingyan, so he quickly found an excuse and left.
’It’s not fair! This is not fair!’
In the quiet and elegant dormitory, Xue Qiu’s voice cried out in grief and anger:
’Why can Xu Xingchen eat six meals a day, and I can only eat two?’
