These shameless remarks immediately made Wei Wuji and Qin Shengtian's expressions turn ugly.
"Very well, I will remember this matter," Qin Shengtian.
"Hmph!" Wei Wuji also snorted coldly.
" Northern Frontier King, it seems you are a very vengeful person, but I am different from you. I never hold grudges," the Iron Face Man said in a hoarse voice.
"Because all my enemies are dead, I have no enemies, and therefore no need to hold grudges. Northern Frontier King, congratulations, you are about to become my enemy."
The Northern Frontier King's expression instantly turned serious.
He was just saying it casually; he wouldn't dare to actually offend this wicked person.
As this jinx himself said, he never had any enemies, because all his enemies were dead.
The key point is that this malevolent figure's cultivation level is that of a Grandmaster.
He can't afford to offend them.
But he couldn't bring himself to apologize, and his face grew increasingly grim.
Iron Face then looked at the eunuch Wei Wuji beside him.
"Father-in-law, you're being so rude. It seems you're quite dissatisfied with me. Come, tell me, what have I done to displease you? I'll change."
"Ahem, how dare I, how dare I..."
"Oh, so you just dare not be dissatisfied, rather than being dissatisfied, is that what you mean?"
Wei Wuji's chubby face twitched. He'd only hummed; was there really any need to make such a fuss?
"Master, I have no complaints whatsoever, it's just that I recently caught Feng Han and my throat is sore!"
"Your reason is flimsy, but I like your attitude."
"Look at Master Jiang, how hypocritical he is, just like a sanctimonious man. He's much more patient than you."
Jiang Biehe paused in stroking his beard, but simply clasped his hands in a fist salute to the Iron Face Man without saying a word.
"Alright, we're all sensible people, there's no need to pretend. It's exhausting for me to watch."
"As far as I know, that gold mine is extremely large; none of the three of you could possibly handle it."
The Northern Frontier King asked, "Extremely large in scale, just how large?"
"If this gold mine were fully mined, it would be equivalent to a hundred years of tax revenue for the Great Qian Kingdom."
"I'm talking about the Great Qian Kingdom at its Pinnacle!"
Upon hearing the Iron Face Man's words, everyone present gasped.
Then I got excited.
At its Pinnacle, the Great Qian Kingdom's annual tax revenue was one trillion Silver.
That century... that's an astronomical figure!
"Are there really that many?" Jiang Biehe swallowed hard and asked.
"As you know, although I'm not a good person and I'm greedy, I never lie."
The Iron Face Man spoke, then picked up his teacup and began to drink.
A bizarre scene unfolded.
When the teacup approached the mouth of the Iron Face, the mouth area miraculously dissolved like liquid, revealing a pair of red lips.
When you finish drinking the tea and the teacup is removed from your lips...
The mask will then return to its original state.
The three of them were stunned by what they saw.
Moreover, all three noticed a detail.
Red lips, a pair of luscious red lips.
Is the leader of the Poison Baleful Energy Sect a woman?
However, now is not the time to study the mask, nor is it the time to study this malevolent figure.
"If that's really the case, then none of us can truly take it all at once." The Northern Frontier King nodded.
Wei Wuji nodded and said, "This is no longer a question of whether we can eat it or not; mining a gold mine of this scale is a major problem in itself."
"The manpower and resources required will be unimaginable, and it's virtually impossible to complete the mining in a short period of time."
Jiang Biehe added, "If the scale of the gold mine is leaked, it will likely cause even more trouble."
"Therefore, I have a suggestion for you," the Iron Face Man said, taking another sip of tea.
"You shall join forces and mine together, extracting as much as you can."
"Then we'll divide it among ourselves."
"Agreed!" Jiang Biehe the first to nod.
"I have no objection."
"The expert agrees."
Then, Wei Wuji asked, "But how should the proportions be allocated?"
"Idiot!" the Iron Face Man Taunt at Wei Wuji.
"Eunuch Wei, a gold mine of this scale might not be fully mined even after several years of operation, so why bother with the issue of proportion?" Jiang Biehe said at this moment.
"Each of the three of us will occupy one area; we'll collect as much as we can."
Qin Shengtian glanced at Wei Wuji and said, "Eunuch Wei, you're being a bit greedy."
Wei Wuji knew that he had indeed been greedy.
He was simply instinctively trying to gain as much as possible.
They simply overlooked the fundamentals.
After a moment's thought, Wei Wuji said, "I only brought 10,000 troops this time. I need to send 100,000 more."
"Then I will immediately send a message to the Emperor, requesting that more troops be sent over."
At this moment, Jiang Biehe frowned.
Although he brought many skilled men, their numbers were too small.
There are only about a thousand people in total.
In terms of mining capabilities, they are no match for the military.
Then we'll have to Hire local people.
With that, the three parties finalized the plan; the next step was how to implement it.
Just then, the Iron Face Man spoke Youyou: "Have you all forgotten about me?"
The three of them immediately looked at the Iron Face Man.
"I don't know what the sect leader means by this?" Qin Shengtian asked, frowning.
"I can't have come all this way for nothing. Here's the deal: I won't ask for more than ten percent of the gold you mine."
"You..."
"Otherwise, I will sell the information to other countries!"
Upon hearing this, the three of them felt an immense sense of frustration.
He cursed under his breath, calling them shameless.
If we weren't outmatched, we'd give them a good beating first.
"That's not fair. The amount we three parties extracted varies. Since we all account for one-tenth, naturally some will have more and some will have less," Wei Wuji said, shaking his head.
"How about you pay 20%?" the Iron Face Man asked Wei Wuji.
"Alright, it's decided then. Wei Gong will take 20%, and you two will each take 10%."
"I..."
"Hmm?" The Iron Face Man's aura suddenly erupted, and wisps of black mist emanated from Iron Face Man body.
Wei Wuji's face fell, but he quickly agreed, "I agree."
He cursed inwardly, wondering why he had to be so talkative and give away an extra ten percent for no reason.
"Wairigude!" The Iron Face Man instantly withdrew his imposing aura.
"You can discuss the rest. I'm going back to sleep." After saying this, the Iron Face Man's figure turned into black smoke and disappeared.
Meanwhile, outside the window, on an inconspicuous tree branch, a sparrow fluttered away.
That night, none of them could sleep in the small two-story building.
Ling Yun wasn't asleep because she genuinely didn't know what to choose.
In fact, Ling Yi is not a particularly competitive person.
In Ling Yun's heart, her Xiao Di Ling Yi was everything to her.
But Ling Yi handed the choice back to her.
This left her, who had never been used to making her own choices since childhood, in a very difficult situation.
Stay in Little Ye Village, or leave?
Actually, the real core of the problem is that the siblings are looking for a place to hide away.
Or should we venture into this chaotic world and vie for supremacy?
She couldn't help but recall Qin Yuan's words.
With the abilities of an immortal, is it really appropriate for Xiao Di to live a secluded life as an ordinary person?
Gradually, Ling Yun made up her mind.
Qin Yuan and Qin Yue did not sleep.
It's because of the two words Ling Yi said: Longevity.
Or rather, Ling Yi can grant Longevity.
The two women were also discussing how to bring Ling Yi to the capital, how to help Qin Yuan reclaim the throne, and how to save the Great Qian Empire from its perilous situation.
Ling Yi wasn't asleep because he was busy with important matters.
Ling Yi was on the Computer, organizing the things he had learned in his previous life.
In his previous life, Ling Yi possessed exceptional comprehension and Photographic Memory memory thanks to a small perk granted by the system.
Even after transmigrating, these abilities were still inherited.
It can be said that Ling Yi's brain is a treasure trove of knowledge.
A treasure trove of knowledge powerful enough to change the world.
We'll see how much Ling Yun and the others can learn then.
However, for some reason, Ling Yi felt that he had overlooked something important.
