Chapter 325: Chapter 62: Suddenly Gained a Wife for No Reason! Being the Young Clan Leader Isn’t Easy
...
"Uncle Jinhuan, what exactly happened?" Huangfu Deyun was a little on edge, sensing that something was amiss.
Recent changes have indeed been overwhelming, often catching people off guard.
"Hmph~ see for yourself!"
Huangfu Jinhuan’s face was extremely unsightly as he handed the secret letter to Huangfu Deyun.
After a close read, Huangfu Deyun’s expression immediately changed: "No wonder the Ping’an Wang Family dares to join forces with the Changning Xu Family to oppose us. It turns out they have already achieved a major breakthrough in silk reeling and weaving technology."
"Even though the price of raw silk has more than tripled due to the competition between the two sides, they can still turn a profit because of technological breakthroughs. No wonder, no wonder they dare to compete with us! Damn~~~"
He was suddenly in a panic.
This time, the gamble on cooperation with the Jii Family, though silently led by the Celestial Person Huangfu Family, was heavily anticipated by their Qianma Huangfu Family, who also invested almost all their funds.
If it fails, the Qianma Huangfu Family will surely be severely injured, and centuries of accumulated wealth will vanish overnight.
Moreover, this is not the worst part.
The worst part is that not only have the two families joined forces, but they also brought in the Golden Sand Xu Family.
There was originally a tributary in Golden Sand Town; because the sands in that area contained gold, it once attracted numerous family loose cultivators to Gold Town to pan for gold.
That place was once extremely chaotic, and there were countless conflicts. However, centuries have passed, the gold in Golden Sand Town has long been exhausted, and with the land being barren and most places unsuitable for cultivation, it gradually became desolate.
Only the Golden Sand Xu Family continued to hold onto that area, slowly developing their family. Now, relying on their abilities, they have gradually established a foothold.
"If what’s said in the secret letter is true," Huangfu Deyun’s face was heavy and gloomy, "Ping’an Wang Family’s new technology can actually use water wheels as a power source to process cocoons into raw silk. The poor place of Golden Sand Town, because of the Golden Sand River, has crisscrossing waterways and rapid currents, and with large tracts of wasteland, is most suitable for building silk reeling and weaving workshops."
Huangfu Jinhuan sneered continuously: "That Wang Shouzhe of Ping’an Wang Family is truly a remarkable talent. I thought of waiting until those from the Purple Mansion Academy left before arranging to slowly deal with them, but unexpectedly, they dare to jump out and oppose us. Since that’s the case, they can’t blame us for being ruthless."
A hint of killing intent flashed in Huangfu Jinhuan’s eyes.
"Someone, invite ’Mr. Yin’ here."
"Yes, Patriarch." An attendant immediately took the order and left.
"Mr. Yin?!" Huangfu Deyun was shocked, his eyes a bit worried, "Uncle Jinhuan, the direct disciple from Purple Mansion Academy is still presiding over disaster relief in our Changning Guard. Would inviting Mr. Yin to take action cause..."
"The less we’re suspected during such times. Besides, do we have any other choice at this point?" Huangfu Jinhuan’s gaze was somber, "If this matter isn’t settled, is Lady Jii easy to deal with? Her patience is thin, and we cannot bear the wrath of the Longzuo Jii Family."
Huangfu Deyun’s eyes were indecisive, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
"Rest assured, Deyun." Huangfu Jinhuan began to reassure, "Though the matter with the Xu Family and Wang Family is disgusting to us, from another perspective, if handled correctly, their two clans can instead make a wedding dress for us."
"Think about it, if we can obtain more advanced silk reeling and weaving technologies, as well as the raw silk materials they’ve stockpiled at great cost, we can expand ourselves through cooperation with the Jii Family. In the future, not to mention becoming a Sixth-Grade Noble Family, even a Fifth-Grade Purple Mansion Family is within reach."
At that point, Huangfu Jinhuan’s eyes were filled with a fervent meaning.
He was not content to remain merely a Spirit Platform Realm Cultivator for life and also wanted to reach the Celestial Human Realm to see that extraordinary scenery.
If there’s also a chance to glimpse the Purple Mansion, he would be content for this life.
These words likewise provided considerable stimulation to Huangfu Deyun.
Which family doesn’t want to rise, to achieve higher status, strength, and power!
If the Changning Huangfu Family has the opportunity to become a Sixth-Grade Family, then their Qianma Huangfu Family would have the qualifications to become a Seventh-Grade Family, and all family members would thrive accordingly.
Not long after.
The close attendant led a man in a black robe into the room.
The man in the black robe had a rather ordinary demeanor, but his face, hidden under the hood, was slightly pale, as if he hadn’t seen sunlight for a long time.
But on closer inspection, one would find that his eyes were almost void of any emotion, like the icy waters of an eternal deep pool, unsettling in their stillness.
As this person arrived, both Huangfu Jinhuan and Huangfu Deyun promptly stood up, bowing and greeting him: "Greetings, Mr. Yin."
Mr. Yin’s eyes, as calm as an ancient well, scanned them lightly, his tone indifferent and cold: "Huangfu Jinhuan, what about the results of the investigation I entrusted you with a while back?"
Huangfu Jinhuan hurriedly said: "Mr. Yin, you should know that the direct disciple Faang You’an of the Purple Mansion Academy is currently stationed at my Changning Guard, so I truly dare not openly investigate. However, there have been some leads. If you give me a bit more time, I can definitely find out who has robbed the young master’s treasure."
