Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack
Chapter 1463 - 1443: Another Scheme
"How could you do such a thing to Shiqi? You’re her sister!" Old Master Hua was in disbelief, his face full of sorrow as he looked at Hua Nianyi. "We’ve already taken advantage; I’ve just taken the elixir, how am I supposed to explain it to Shiqi!"
Hua Nianyi sniffled, her expression was unreasonable and spoiled, pointing at Jin Xianchuan. "He’s already promised to give Shiqi enough compensation. Since they want the Heaven Chosen Pearl, they must take responsibility."
Jin Xianchuan’s face darkened but was helpless. So far, the treasures he had seen indeed could not compare to it.
If it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t have rushed to make a decision.
This thing will surely please His Majesty, and at the same time, they need to borrow Hua Nianyi, so they must not offend the Hua Family!
His expression changed several times but finally nodded. "As long as Sister Shiqi likes it, I’ll compensate!" He spoke slowly, filled with anger.
At this moment, Hua Nianyi felt indescribable satisfaction; it was the first time in so long she had seen Jin Xianchuan behave in such a manner towards her.
After the notarization, both parties breathed a sigh of relief, yet the elderly witnesses and officials full of prestige were puzzled.
But they certainly did not ask anything, obediently signing their names and leaving their hand seals.
Who can truly argue the affairs of grand mansions?
In the end, it’s merely a ceremony; they received a share of the benefits for free.
Seeing the black-on-white paper and red hand seals, Hua Nianyi also breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Jin Xianchuan, "Then, a happy collaboration."
"Happy collaboration." Jin Xianchuan, although slightly displeased, had no other choice; the things had been taken by the two people by Luo Qianqian’s side, leaving them with no opportunity. They had to consider the identity behind Sister Shiqi.
Both breathed a sigh of relief, thus had a pleasant lunch, and by the end of lunch, Jin Xianchuan impatiently looked at Luo Qianqian, "Sister Shiqi..."
"What’s up?" Luo Qianqian calmly sipped fruit tea, undoubtedly their own provision, the fragrance of floral fruit tea spread throughout the room, but except for Luo Qianqian and her two companions, no one else partook.
"Actually, I have a presumptuous request... I want to buy your Heaven Chosen Pearl," Jin Xianchuan said without hesitation.
Luo Qianqian shook her head resolutely, "No, this belongs to my grandfather. If it were something else, I would give it."
"What else does your grandfather like? Our family storage still has quite a few treasures."
Luo Qianqian remained silent, thinking about the information Mo had probed at the Jin Family’s Treasure Pavilion.
In the Treasure Pavilion, there were almost no items worth their attention, though some unique pieces seemed decent and were taken away. There weren’t many.
The rest were trivial.
After a moment of silence, Luo Qianqian smiled and said, "I wonder what you have?"
Jin Xianchuan was momentarily stunned at her words; what they had might not interest Luo Qianqian, and what Luo Qianqian desired, they might not afford to give.
Seeing Jin Xianchuan’s expression, Luo Qianqian reacted with an enlightened visage, lowered her head briefly, and then spoke, "I’ve heard there’s a treasure in Gold Scale City?"
"A treasure in Gold Scale City?" Jin Xianchuan slightly frowned, pondering. Compared to the family’s glory, everything else was merely ephemeral.
The treasure of Shangwan Pavilion was the lament, already taken back home by him.
The treasure of Zhencui Tower was the brocade robe, neither married nor wed; this year’s red attire had already been sold.
The treasure of Enjoy Flavor Residence was the eight-treasure soup, but it wasn’t hard to buy.
The most difficult thing to purchase in Gold Scale City was undoubtedly the items from Forget Worries Tea House.
But the three definitely wouldn’t be interested; so what exactly was it?
Jin Fulai, with furrowed brows, remained silent for a long time. "Could it be the spirit mine?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was startled; Luo Qianqian and her two companions remained composed, seemingly knowing all along.
The spirit mine can indeed yield spirit stones, but it also represents the possibility of a spirit vein emerging. If a spirit vein has spirits, there is a chance for a dragon vein to form.
A dragon vein—it so happens, she actually has one.
But Gold Scale City’s is merely an unimpressive spirit vein; she only intends to slightly alter the calculations of the Lord of Gold Scale City. As long as the spirit vein is mined, there will be no chance for it to become a dragon.
"Indeed, we can find the location. I want to mine sixty percent of the spirit stones." Luo Qianqian showed an expression of greed.
Upon hearing this, Jin Fulai furrowed his brows; if they discovered it themselves, there would be no need for this, but they’ve been in Gold Scale City for so long and have never heard of it...
Their family is about to hit it big; as long as they touch the spirit stones, they’re bound to prosper so much they can laugh in their sleep!
But no one has discovered it for so many years; could it be real?
His doubtful gaze shifted to Luo Qianqian, who calmly produced a Green Spirit. Although daily life in the cultivation world’s mundane sphere still circulates gold and silver, among the elite, spirit stones are the norm, though primarily trading in primary levels, the type Luo Qianqian generously sold. Even fetching sky-high prices!
The Green Spirit floated lightly in the air, pointing in one direction.
Luo Qianqian said, "This is the spirit stone my family gave me."
Spirit stone?
Jin Xianchuan and Jin Fulai were instantly wide-eyed; although aware of its existence, they had yet to have the chance to see it.
Now seeing the spirit stone, their evaluation of Luo Qianqian elevated to a higher level.
Yan, however, remained calm; for usual transactions, how could it be carved so beautifully and worn on oneself? Yet, he must admit, keeping a spirit stone close is beneficial to cultivation.
"Can we go see it first?" Jin Fulai immediately asked, the brilliance in his eyes was a sight Jin Xianchuan had rarely seen in his life.
"Sure." Luo Qianqian nodded casually, leading the group out.
Jin Xianchuan would not know that their current actions would successfully lead them to be abandoned by the King.
They arrived at a mountain outside the city, randomly pointing a place, and Jin Xianchuan and Jin Fulai started digging with their people.
As time passed, Luo Qianqian calmly picked up a stone cast aside by others, took out a dagger, and casually split it open; seeing the green inside, Jin Xianchuan was instantly dumbfounded.
"So the spirit stone is within the stone???"
Luo Qianqian calmly nodded.
Looking at the pile of stones along the path, Jin Xianchuan unhesitatingly ordered people to load them onto a vehicle.
Luo Qianqian and her two companions all looked disdainful; Luo Qianqian had obtained only the first piece mined, whereas those Jin Xianchuan considered treasures were merely ordinary stones.
As for the Hua Family’s two people? They hadn’t left Hua Residence at all; Luo Qianqian privately mentioned Haan Yun was returning soon, asking them to stay behind and explain.
"The skies are dark; we should head back." Luo Qianqian said, looking at the sky.
Jin Xianchuan looked up, instantly filled with regret.
How did time pass so quickly?
"But mining is quite time-consuming; how about finding more people to do it? My time is quite limited." Luo Qianqian frowned as she spoke.
"No." Jin Fulai quickly refused, seeing Luo Qianqian’s slightly furrowed brows, he suddenly realized this was Luo Qianqian’s discovery. After much internal deliberation, he said, "Although my Jin Family is quite wealthy, how about using thirty percent of our family’s wealth as your interest in this mine?"
Eventually, they knew the location; even if Luo Qianqian disagreed, they were helpless!
At this moment, he was extremely glad for his decision.
