Chapter 222 Mining Rights
Master.
Yao Nan never expected that Xia Xiaoman came all the way to find her just for this matter.
Seeing her stunned, Xia Xiaoman smiled and said, "My master is quite powerful. If you want to come, I will protect you in the future, and no one can bully you."
This reminded her of what happened in the Lingjian Sect.
Yao Nan blinked, then smiled and shook her head.
"Thank you, but I am living well now, and I have put aside the practice."
"It doesn't matter."
Xia Xiaoman didn't force it. Her main purpose of coming here was to visit her friends.
Yao Nan smiled and said, "If you have nothing else to do these days, why don't you stay and play. I'll take you to see the scenery of Liuchuan."
"Okay."
Xia Xiaoman nodded.
In addition to visiting her parents and Yao Nan, she came out for another thing, which was to practice, the practice of the state of mind.
She wanted to go out and take a look.
Soon, Yao Nan's mother He Aiying also came back from outside, and she warmly entertained Yao Nan's friends when she saw them coming.
During the meal, He Aiying asked with a smile: "Is Xiaoxia an immortal?"
"Not really, just an ordinary practitioner."
Xia Xiaoman shook her head. How could she be considered an immortal now? She couldn't even fly on clouds.
He Aiying was just an ordinary person, but she still knew something about cultivation. After all, there were some ordinary practitioners among the servants she hired.
At this time, a servant ran in.
He Aiying was a little angry, after all, there were guests.
But after hearing the servant's message, He Aiying frowned and her face became a little ugly. She waved her hand and let the servant go down.
"Mother?"
Yao Nan noticed the change in He Aiying's expression.
He Aiying smiled and shook her head, saying: "It's just some troublesome business matters, don't worry about it."
After chatting and finishing the meal, Xia Xiaoman followed Yao Nan for a walk in the yard.
Thinking of He Aiying's ugly face at that moment, Xia Xiaoman still cared a little.
"Anan, what does your family do?"
Yao Nan said: "We mine some precious minerals and sell them. Although our Liuchuan is relatively remote, it is rich in resources. My father found a way to make a fortune two years ago."
"He is now outside with people preparing to open a mine, and there may be unexpected surprises in those mines, such as spiritual herbs."
Xia Xiaoman was thoughtful after hearing this.
As if he saw what she was thinking, Yao Nan smiled bitterly.
"In fact, there are some powerful monsters outside a newly discovered mine. Maybe something happened, so my mother is a little worried."
"Monsters?"
Xia Xiaoman was stunned.
Yao Nan nodded: "Although there are not many monsters in Liuchuan, most of them are not strong, but there are some exceptions."
Xia Xiaoman asked: "Do you know what realm of monsters they are?"
Yao Nan thought for a while and said: "It seems that there is a demon spirit blocking the mining team in the mine, and there are some big monsters."
Big monsters are okay, and the monks in the Transcendent Realm can contend with them.
The demon spirit needs a cultivator of the Divine Aperture Realm to fight.
Above are the demon generals and demon kings, which are comparable to the Haoran Realm and Cangxuan Realm demons.
And there are not many cultivators in Liuchuan who have reached the Divine Aperture Realm.
Xia Xiaoman asked: "Does your father have no cultivators of the Divine Aperture Realm?"
Yao Nan said: "Yes, but they are not the opponent of the demon spirit."
Suddenly, she remembered something.
"There is another thing. People from other forces are competing with my father for this mineral vein."
"Compete?"
So Yao Nan explained the matter simply.
The Yao family has just started in this industry and cannot compare with those people in terms of power, but the mineral vein was discovered by Yao Nan's father, so a bet was made.
Whoever gets rid of the demon spirit first will have the mining rights.
After listening, Xia Xiaoman had an idea and said: "I will help you."
"Ah?"
Yao Nan was stunned.
Xia Xiaoman grinned: "I'll help you deal with that demon."
"That's a demon." Yao Nan emphasized again, but found that the girl was still smiling.
Seeing this, Yao Nan also guessed something and couldn't help asking.
"Xiaoman, what is your current cultivation level?"
"Shenqiao realm."
Yao Nan's eyes widened immediately.
They have only been separated for about three years, and she has already jumped to the Shenqiao realm!
You should know that the Shenqiao realm is a cultivator who can walk sideways in their Liuchuan, and anyone who sees it will treat it with courtesy.
Xia Xiaoman patted his chest and smiled: "Leave it to me, I'm still quite powerful."
It's just a little favor for a friend, nothing wrong.
Yao Nan was very happy, but still asked: "Is it really okay?"
Xiaoman plus the one invited by her Yao family, there are a total of two Shenqiao realm cultivators, it should not be a problem to deal with a demon.
"Of course, we are friends."
Xia Xiaoman patted Yao Nan's shoulder happily.
Since she could help, she was naturally happy to do so.
Yao Nan was silent for a while, then shook her head and said, "No, forget it."
Seeing her sudden change of attitude, Xia Xiaoman was also stunned.
"Why?"
Yao Nan sighed and said, "If we can win the mining rights this time, we can indeed make a lot of money, but this is just a superficial thing."
"What do you mean?" Xia Xiaoman was puzzled.
Yao Nan explained: "My father has just started now, and the mineral veins he is competing for this time are huge. I feel that if he competes with those people now, he may be under greater pressure later."
Xia Xiaoman understood clearly: "Do you want your father to slow down and stabilize his power before competing with those people?"
"Um."
Yao Nan nodded.
Yao Nan was very happy that Xia Xiaoman was willing to help her, but at the same time, she also felt self-loathing for being moved by this.
You shouldn't take advantage of Xiaoman.
Those people also have backgrounds. If Xiaoman is allowed to participate in this matter and is targeted, it may cause some trouble for her and her sect in the future.
She should have thought of this first.
Yao Nan sighed in his heart.
Back when she was in the Lingjian Sect, this girl was fighting alone against other sect disciples for her training spot, but she only dared to hide outside and didn't dare to go in.
Yao Nan shook his head and threw these trivial matters behind him.
The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt.
The two were getting ready to go out and have some fun.
However, a maid in the courtyard happened to hear the previous conversation between the two, and then quickly ran to He Aiying to explain the situation.
He Aiying was also stunned after hearing this.
Divine orifice realm?
That girl who looks similar to her own daughter is actually a monk in the Divine Aperture Realm?
He Aiying thought of the humble girl during the meal today.
Generally speaking, monks at this level no longer need to eat these mundane things, but she still ate them, and she ate them with gusto.
This made He Aiying think that her cultivation level was not high.
The result is not only high, but also ridiculously high.
The cultivator of the Divine Aperture Realm is already the top powerhouse in Yanagawa.
He Aiying fell into silence, seeming to be thinking about something.
It wasn't until late at night that the two of them came back.
Xia Xiaoman bought a lot of fine wine and planned to go back and bring it to Senior Sister later.
On weekdays, she can often see the senior sister drinking in the sect. This Yanagawa wine is considered a specialty, and I think the senior sister will like it.
Yao Nan led Xia Xiaoman to a guest room and said, "Xiaoman, would you like to stay here?"
"no problem!"
Naturally, Xia Xiaoman was not picky.
Yao Nan drank some wine tonight and felt a little dizzy, so he asked Xia Xiaoman to rest early and left.
Returning to the room, Yao Nan found his mother, He Aiying, sitting in the room.
"mother?"
"Xiaonan, I have something to discuss with you."
Yao Nan had someone prepare sobering tea, and then sat across from He Aiying.
"Mom, please tell me."
He Aiying looked at her daughter and asked, "Is Xiaoxia a monk in the Divine Aperture Realm?"
Yao Nan was stunned. She thought her mother wanted to do something to her.
It turns out that my mother heard the conversation in the yard today?
He Aiying saw what her daughter was thinking, but she didn't explain it. It didn't matter who told her.
Yao Nan was silent for a moment, which was regarded as acquiescence, and then asked his mother.
"Mom, do you want Xiaoman to help father?"
He Aiying nodded: "Your father has been busy for more than a month. You should know how much your father attaches importance to this action."
Yao Nan nodded, just thinking about it made her realize how much her father valued this mining right.
That mine is by far the richest in resources, and with monsters stationed there, there must be many spiritual herbs and medicines in it.
This is undoubtedly a good opportunity for the Yao family to soar into the sky.
But based on the current situation of the Yao family, Yao Nan felt that it was not wise to compete with those people.
So Yao Nan informed He Aiying of his thoughts.
He Aiying was also startled after hearing this. She didn't expect her daughter to think deeply about it, but she still shook her head.
"As long as we can win the mining rights, we can hire more people in the future without having to worry too much."
Yao Nan pursed her lips, she was still a little worried.
He Aiying said softly: "How about asking Xiaoxia to help your father?"
Yao Nan said bluntly: "I don't want Xiaoman to get involved in our family's affairs."
"I know what you are worried about." He Aiying sighed.
"But think about it, Xiaoxia is now a monk in the Divine Aperture Realm. Her background must be extraordinary. What kind of trouble can a small place like Yanagawa cause her?"
"even so."
"Xonan."
He Aiying's tone became serious and interrupted Yao Nan's words.
Yao Nan looked up at his mother.
He Aiying's face softened a bit and she said, "Can you help your father? He finally found an opportunity. You also know how our family has been suppressed by those people in the past two years in this industry."
As long as they get the mining rights this time, they will have a lot of financial resources to expand their own power, and naturally they will no longer be so afraid of those people.
Yao Nan hesitated for a long time and finally gritted his teeth.
"Only this time, I'm going to beg Xiaoman. If she doesn't agree, mother will never force it again."
He Aiying smiled and nodded repeatedly, then stood up, walked forward, hugged her daughter, and patted her on the back of the head.
"My good daughter."
