If he had not heard the quarrel between the two families last night, Jiang Xiaobai would not only have refused, but also would have found a way to leave the Qin Family.
But after the Liu Family came over yesterday, Jiang Xiaobai knew the city owner’s office had found a spirit stone vein, and today the city owner’s office was clearly planning to auction it off.
Jiang Xiaobai did not intend to buy it, but was interested in where the vein was discovered.
Based on his study of the “Meandering Veins Record”, he could not call himself an expert on spirit stone veins, but he had made some achievements.
He knew that the birth of a spirit stone vein is not random, it needs to meet many conditions, and if a place can yield a vein, there may be a chance of the same happening in the surrounding area.
Jiang Xiaobai was interested in this, and promptly agreed to check out the auction, hoping to find the location of the vein and investigate further.
If the surroundings were as Jiang Xiaobai thought, perhaps his first venture could make him prosperous.
Soon enough, Jiang Xiaobai, along with Qin Zheng and his daughter Qin Nianxue arrived at the mansion of the city’s owner in Four Seas City. As the most powerful force in the vicinity was the Thousand Yuan Dynasty, the cities around the Thousand Yuan Dynasty, including their city owner’s offices, were under their jurisdiction.
In other words, these city owners’ offices were directly under the dominance of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty, which, with its powerful backing, made the offices highly influential, with each office equating to a third-tier power.
The city owner’s mansion in Four Seas City was quite dominant, occupying at least a quarter of the city center, all of which was the city owner’s mansion. Among them, the city owner, whose name was Feng Liangfei, was at the peak of the Yuan Infant stage.
As they reached the gates of the city owner’s mansion, Jiang Xiaobai noticed
the bustle of people coming and going, all intent on bidding for the spirit stone vein.
A deposit of spirit stone veins had quite a fatal attraction for a power.
Upon entering the city owner’s mansion, the attitudes of the father and daughter Qin Zheng became solemn. Although they were a decent force within Four Seas City, they were still outmatched when compared with the city owner’s mansion.
The city owner’s office had already arranged the auction site, which was a huge training ground filled with seats, sufficient to accommodate thousands of people.
“Well, if it isn’t Qin Zheng.” Liu Dongsheng’s voice came from the side, Qin Zheng immediately turned to look at him, a mocking smile on his face.
“Liu Dongsheng, didn’t you say yesterday that you didn’t want to come to the city owner’s auction? Why are you here so early today?” Qin Zheng taunted. “None of your business, anyway, this spirit stone vein is mine.” Liu Dongsheng huffed.
It was then that Qin Zheng and the others realized that a mystery man shrouded completely in a black robe stood behind Liu Dongsheng, and a mere glance was enough to give them a sense of danger.
Jiang Xiaobai squinted his eyes slightly. For some reason, he felt that the aura of the man in the black robe was somewhat familiar, but he was sure he had never met this man before.
For the time being, he had no clue, so instead he decided to continue observing the quarrel between the two families.
As the two sides were arguing, several figures walked over, the leader being a middle-aged man with a kind and amiable look who currently wore a bitter smile.
“Why is it that you two always seem to have a lot of fire whenever you meet?” Feng Liangfei chuckled, playing the peacemaker.
Seeing the city’s owner coming over, the heads of the two big families grunted and didn’t say anything more.
“Come with me, both of you. I have something to discuss with you.”
Feng Liangfei laughed, and Qin Zheng and Liu Dongsheng also didn’t refuse and left with him, but before leaving, Feng Liangfei left his eldest son Feng He to entertain the guests.
“Nianxue, you’re here too.” Feng He went straight to Qin Nianxue with a pleasing and gentle demeanor.
Kenned observers like Jiang Xiaobai could clearly see that this guy was fond of Qin Nianxue and seemed to be pursuing her fervently. Judging from Qin Nianxue’s cool attitude, she clearly had no feelings for Feng He.
Jiang Xiaobai was not interested in getting involved in such matters and preferred to sit on the sidelines to watch the drama unfold. Who would have thought that Feng He seemed to have annoyed Qin Nianxue, as she unexpectedly gave him a cold look and sat beside Jiang Xiaobai.
As a result, Jiang Xiaobai instantly became the target of attention.
“Young man, who are you?” Seeing this, Feng He was naturally unhappy and immediately raised an eyebrow at Jiang Xiaobai.
“I am just…”
“He’s my man.”
Jiang Xiaobai was cut off by Qin Nianxue before he could even finish speaking, nearly causing him to choke.
Feng He was equally distressed. His face immediately turned ugly as he glared at Jiang Xiaobai, wishing he could kill him.
“Nianxue, don’t be foolish, how could you possibly fancy this kind of fellow?” Feng He asked optimistically, looking at Qin Nianxue.
Unfortunately for him, given Qin Nianxue’s personality, he was destined to be disappointed.
“The one I don’t fancy is you, relying on your own family’s power to bully others. Can you compare with Jiang Bai?” Qin Nianxue retorted coldly.
Her words dealt little damage but were extremely insulting, which instantly infuriated Feng He.
Pointing at Jiang Xiaobai, he scoffed, “Boy, I give you an opportunity now to leave Nianxue’s side immediately, or I’ll make you suffer.”
He couldn’t vent his anger on Qin Nianxue, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t take it out on this pretty boy. He was, after all, the heir to the city owner’s office!
However, Jiang Xiaobai of course did not pay attention to Feng He’s threats.
Having been thrown under the bus by Qin Nianxue, Jiang Xiaobai realized that no matter what he said, it wouldn’t help. Instead, it would make Feng He hold a grudge against him. Since it was troublesome either way, he decided to ignore him.
Certainly, Jiang Xiaobai’s attitude made Feng He glare at him furiously, his face distorted with rage as he stared at Jiang Xiaobai.
“Boy, dare you duel with me? Whoever wins gets Nianxue!”
“Do you dare?”
At that moment, Qin Zheng and Feng Liangfei walked over and immediately sensed that something was wrong. Seeing Feng He’s ferocious expression and
Jiang Xiaobai’s helpless face, Qin Zheng seemed to understand what happened.

“What’s going on?” Feng Liangfei looked at his eldest son with raised eyebrows.
Feng He might be wild outside, but he didn’t dare to act cool in front of his own father, so he naturally wouldn’t reveal what had happened.
After glaring at Feng He, Feng Liangfei said, “The auction is about to begin.
Don’t lose face for me here. This time, quite a few external forces have arrived.
If you dare to cause trouble, I’ll break your legs..”
