On the way back to the inn, Shuanzi chatted with Xiaoxiao, his words interspersed and without much connection.

“Ha, there are so many people in the city, ha?”

“The buildings are so tall.”

“Watch your step!”

“Little girl, you walk so well.”

His clumsiness was a bit awkward, but because of this clumsiness, it revealed a bit of sincerity.

Xiaoxiao finally replied, “Thank you, you walk pretty well too.”

“Ha, ha!” Shuanzi said happily, “I’ve never strolled the streets with such a pretty girl like you before. No, I’ve never strolled the streets with a girl before…”

“We’re not strolling the streets, we’re going back to the inn.”

“I’ve never gone back to the inn with a girl before!”

Xiaoxiao, holding a bolt of cloth, looked down at the road and said nothing more.

Shuanzi had no choice but to look left and right, pretending to be nonchalant and that the atmosphere wasn’t awkward at all.

After leaving that small courtyard, Jiang Wang didn’t wander around the city anymore, but went straight back to the inn.

In his conversation with Xi Zichu, he belatedly realized something.

After he obtained the famous weapon “Longing,” Chong Xuansheng asked him to come to Qingyang Town, probably not just for the celestite mine, but to take over the Chongxuan family’s business in the entire Yang State.

This was the resource support given by the family after Chong Xuansheng took a big step in the inheritance competition. However, he still had too few people who were truly capable at his side.

The Hu family mine was only the first step of Jiang Wang’s trip to Yang State. Helping Chong Xuansheng smoothly control the Chongxuan family’s resources in Yang State and providing further support for his competition with Chong Xuanzun was Chong Xuansheng’s ultimate goal.

Of course, if Jiang Wang didn’t handle it well, proving that he didn’t have the talent in this area, Chong Xuansheng probably wouldn’t entrust the remaining matters to him.

This was a very rare opportunity for Jiang Wang. Whether facing the White Bone Dao or facing Zhuang State, he needed to build his own power. This was a good opportunity for experience. Even further, as long as he did things well, Chong Xuansheng wouldn’t mind him using the shell to hatch his own eggs.

And all of this was predicated on the Hu family mine itself.

He had to solve this matter, not to give Chong Xuansheng an answer, but to give Chong Xuansheng a reason to convince the rest of the Chongxuan family.

He had Shuanzi drive the carriage, carrying the purchased cloth, and the three of them left the city directly, heading towards the mine.

The only problem with leaving the city at this time was safety.

But with Jiang Wang, a transcendent cultivator, there was naturally no need to worry.

The plan to stay in Jiacheng for a day was cancelled. Xiaoxiao naturally had no objections, but Shuanzi was a little disappointed.

While driving the carriage, he asked, “Master Du Gu, why aren’t we staying in the city?”

Earlier, Jiang Wang had left suddenly without telling them what he was going to do.

At this time, he just casually said, “There’s nothing special in Jiacheng.”

As for the fact that he had achieved his purpose in coming to Jiacheng, there was naturally no need to explain it to Shuanzi.

Jiang Wang closed his eyes to cultivate along the way, and the carriage returned to the mining area peacefully.

After unloading the cloth from the carriage back to Jiang Wang’s yard, Shuanzi drove the carriage to report to Steward Hu.

Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, touched these high-quality cloths, back and forth, reluctant to put them down.

Jiang Wang went straight into the bedroom and began his evening homework.

After familiarizing himself with all the Dao techniques, he entered the illusory realm of Taixu and matched three battles. Three consecutive victories.

After withdrawing and briefly reviewing, he began to think about the problem of the celestite mine at hand.

Now that Xi Family was temporarily ruled out, things were much easier.

The remaining directions were nothing more than the transcendent cultivator stationed here and the Hu family of Qingyang Town.

And specifically to the events, there were three breakthroughs.

One was that a worker saw a sheep in the mine, and then left. One was that the stationed cultivator fought with a mysterious man who broke into the mining area at night, and then also left. The last was what Shuanzi said, the murder case of Hu Shaomeng, the son of the head of the pavilion Hu You.

He wrote these analyses one by one on paper, looked at them for a while, and then lit the flame and burned them to ashes.

The night was deep and quiet.

Jiang Wang jumped out of the window without making a sound.

With his current cultivation, no one in the Hu family mine would be able to detect his whereabouts.

Leaving the mining area, he ran all the way to Qingyang Town.

The head of the pavilion’s house was not difficult to find, the most magnificent one in the entire town was it.

At this time, everything was silent, and most of the townspeople had already fallen asleep.

Hu You must have had his skills to become the actual operator of the Chongxuan family’s Jiacheng mine. Jiang Wang would not underestimate him.

He did not have any suitable concealment techniques that he had learned, so he simply used his physical strength to jump onto the roof, relying entirely on his control of his body to be silent.

The roof of the Hu house was covered with blue tiles, and Jiang Wang jumped down like a falling leaf.

He found the main room and heard a faint sound.

Jiang Wang estimated the position, slowly pulled out a blue tile, and looked down, immediately turning his eyes away.

A pile of white, greasy fat almost blinded him.

At this time, he could hear clearly that the faint sound was clearly the sound of the bed creaking.

Jiang Wang held his breath and concentrated.

After a while, the sound stopped.

Then there was a long rustling sound.

Jiang Wang heard an old man’s voice saying, “Don’t come over tomorrow, Shaomeng is coming back.”

This person should be Hu You, the head of Qingyang Town.

Then a woman’s voice complained, “Your wife has been dead for eight years, isn’t it normal to remarry? Why do we always have to be secretive? Can we hide from him for a lifetime?”

Hu You persuaded, “Just bear with it. He’s cultivating outside and doesn’t always come back.”

“Then why is he coming back this time?”

“Don’t ask about this, it’s no good to know.”

The woman was probably angry, “You just tell me to endure, tell me not to ask. Why don’t you tell your son to endure, not to let him call me mother?”

“He’s been unruly since he was a child. Now that he’s learned a lot of skills, do you dare to provoke him?”

The woman’s voice immediately became smaller, just complaining, “I’ve never heard of a father being afraid of his son.”

“Alas. I’ll make it up to you when he’s gone.”

Jiang Wang listened to the eavesdropping for a long time, but didn’t hear anything else useful.

The only news he got was that Hu Shaomeng’s old man, Hu You, secretly found him a stepmother, but didn’t dare to openly marry her because of Hu Shaomeng’s temper.

What is all this!

He carefully put the tile back and then jumped away from here.

He had originally planned to search Hu Shaomeng’s room tonight, but it seemed that since Hu Shaomeng hadn’t returned for a long time, there wouldn’t be any useful clues in his residence.

It was better to wait for him to come back.

From Hu You’s words, it was just a matter of these two days.

On the way back to the mine, blown by the summer night wind.

Jiang Wang suddenly thought of a question.

Xi Zichu and Hu Shaomeng were both cultivating in other places, why did they both come back during this time? Was it just a coincidence?

With things on his mind, seeing that he was about to arrive at the small courtyard, Jiang Wang’s heart moved, and he deliberately changed direction, pretending to be walking out.

“Brother Xiang, are you also out enjoying the moon?”

He greeted the down-and-out uncle who was swaying over.

He didn’t know what this Uncle Xiang was swaying around all day long.

This person raised his eyelids and glanced at Jiang Wang.

“Alas.” He sighed.

“…” Jiang Wang couldn’t help but say, “Can I ask, why are you always sighing?”

“Don’t you think…” He yawned, weakly: “Isn’t this kind of life very boring?”

“…I just arrived.”

“Alas, believe me. We have no future in this life. Let’s just endure it, endure today and endure tomorrow. Day after day, year after year, until we get old, die, be buried in the yellow earth, and turn into yellow earth.”

He drooped his eyelids: “Life really has no meaning.”

Jiang Wang was not the kind of hot-blooded youth who always wanted to burn with others at all times.

“I remembered that I still have a sleep that I haven’t slept.”

Without saying a word, he turned around and went back to his yard. “Farewell.”
