The sun had sunk and the sky was getting dark.

Wang Kuncheng saw that several family heads had arrived, so he told the story of Birdling Cliff again. After listening to this, the expressions on the faces of several family heads were different, but they were secretly a little excited.

If it's fake, then he and the others won't have anything to lose, but if it's true, then his family can also drink a sip of soup and make a small fortune.

There are eight small and medium-sized families attached to the Wang family, namely the Fan family, the Li family, the Ye family, the Xu family, the Huang family, the Mu Jing family, the Yang family and the Zeng family.

Among them, the Fan family, the Ye family, and the Mu Jing family can barely be regarded as medium-sized families, and the rest are small families with only a few dozen to two hundred people, and this is still counting the old and weak women and children.

"And when are we leaving?" It was Mu Jinghua of the Mu Jing family who spoke, dressed in a green cloth robe, about forty years old, and a ninth-layer cultivator.

Wang Kuncheng looked sideways at the other party's eagerness, and a trace of mockery slipped through his eyes, "Don't worry, wait for the sky to get darker, we are going to investigate the news this time, and it is not easy to be too eye-catching." ”

"Uh, yes, yes." Mu Jinghua was stunned when he heard this, his face turned slightly red, and he quickly nodded yes.

Several other family heads nodded one after another, looking at Mu Jinghua with a playful look in their eyes, and they were thinking about schadenfreude in their hearts.

"Brother Cheng is right, if it's just a misunderstanding, it's nothing, if it's true, then we must not leak the news first." It was Ye Yujin, the head of the Ye family, who spoke, and was currently building the eighth floor of the foundation.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Huang Li, the head of the Huang family, echoed in a loud voice, looked at everyone's expressions, rolled his eyes, turned his head to look at Wang Kuncheng, and said with a flattering face: "I thought of an idea." ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. Hearing this, Wang Kuncheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and slowly put down the teacup in his hand.

Seeing this, everyone was silent, looking at Huang Li curiously, not knowing what the other party had in mind. Huang Li's image in everyone's hearts is that he is a little clever, a crumbling and slippery person. As the head of a family, he left such an image to outsiders, but he didn't know it at all, and I have to say that Huang Li was too a failure.

"Hey, it's not a good idea either. Brother Cheng, look, are we going to separate out of the city now, and then we will meet outside the city? Huang Li cautiously observed Wang Kuncheng's face and said tentatively.

"Well, that's fine." After listening to this, Wang Kuncheng nodded thoughtfully, then raised his head again to look at Huang Li and smiled lightly.

"Your head spins fast, so be it. You went out of the city quietly, and after half an hour, you waited in the whining forest, fifty miles east of the city. Wang Kuncheng looked at the several family heads in the study and commanded in a deep voice.

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly got up and answered, and quickly left Wang Kuncheng's study. After a while, only Wang Kuncheng, Huang Li and Fan Fuan were left in the study.

Wang Kuncheng glanced at Huang Li meaningfully, and pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit down." ”

"Hey, hey!" Huang Li nodded again and again, and sat down on the lower left of Wang Kuncheng with a smile.

Seeing this, Fan Fu'an, who was opposite, showed disdain on his face without concealing it, as the head of the family, he was flattering to this point, no wonder the Huang family was going to decline.

"Tell me, what do you want?" Wang Kuncheng looked at Huang Li with a smile on his face.

When Huang Li heard this, his eyes lit up, the smile on his face became brighter, and he didn't feel ashamed at all and exclaimed: "Brother Cheng is amazing, I guessed it at once." I want to ask for a foundation building pill, hehe, my eldest son who is not a weapon has been stuck in the Great Perfection of Qi Refining for several years, and I am still waiting for him to build the foundation so that he can pass on the position of the head of the family! ”

"Oh? As soon as the foundation is built, you will be the head of the house? Wang Kuncheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Hey! Isn't it impossible to do it, you know that I will be a little clever, and I don't have the slightest idea of big things. No, the Huang family is about to fall in my hands, I might as well give up this position and have a good time. ”

Facing Huang Li's shameless face, Wang Kuncheng remained silent on his face, but a deep disgust and disdain rose in his heart.

It seems that the Huang family is useless at all.

Wang Kuncheng took a sip from the teacup, secretly thinking in his heart what to do with the Huang family. Fan Fuan, who was sitting at the bottom right, saw Wang Kuncheng's movements and demeanor, and probably guessed what the other party was thinking, although he was also disdainful of the Huang family in his heart, a chill suddenly rose in his heart.

The Wang family is willing to shelter the Fan family, but for the sake of being useful, if one day, the Fan family also falls, it is estimated that the end will be even worse.

Alas!

Thinking of this, Fan Fuan couldn't help but sigh quietly. If there is really a cave in that cave or something, then I am giving a large piece of fat meat to others! I don't know if the other party can see if he can take a small bite of his hard work and let himself eat a small bite, and the Fan family's status in Sifang City will be safe for the time being.

The current situation of the Fan family is also very bad, in addition to the fierce competition with other families for power and resources externally, there are also many problems within the Fan family.

The production of the family's ore veins is getting smaller and smaller, and the spirit stone veins are on the verge of exhaustion, and the only one to support the survival and only source of more than 400 people in the family is now, but the inventory passed down by the ancestors, as well as the income of the current two shops.

Perhaps, after this incident, it's time to find a way to open up sources and reduce expenditure? Fan Fuan was thinking to himself while paying attention to Wang Kuncheng and Huang Li's movements.

Under Huang Li's expression of longing and anticipation, Wang Kuncheng took a leisurely sip of tea and nodded in response.

"Yes."

"Hah...... Thank you, Brother Xie Chengcheng! ”

When Huang Li heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, shrugged his shoulders and nodded at the other party, and kept rubbing his hands on his legs.

"You let him do it himself, though." Wang Kuncheng glanced at Huang Li meaningfully.

"This ...... Ok, good, good! No problem. Huang Li was stunned, then smiled, and responded indifferently.

Fan Fuan shook his head secretly in his heart. This yellow, let's call him stupid, sometimes he is quite clever. Let's say that he is smart, now that the entire Huang family is about to be sold by him, he is still happy.

"Okay, you go outside the city and wait." Wang Kuncheng probably didn't want to look at Huang Li's stupid and disgusting face anymore, so he hurriedly dismissed.

"Hey! Good, good. ”

Soon there were only two people left in the study, Fan Fuan and Wang Kuncheng, and after a pause, Fan Fuan also obediently got up and bowed and retired.

"Brother Cheng, then I'll go first."

"Don't worry, you can come with me." Wang Kuncheng waved his hand and gestured to the other party to sit down.

Fan Fuan didn't feel excited at all because of the other party's extra favor, and his heart suddenly became a little uneasy.

Wang Kuncheng glanced at Fan Fuan's somewhat restrained face, and couldn't help laughing, "What are you afraid of?" I have something to discuss with you. ”

"Brother Cheng is serious, if there is anything to order, I will definitely do my best." Fan Fuan hurriedly replied in a panic, but his heart chuckled.

"You know, the production of the Wang family's ore veins has been decreasing in the past two years, and it has been even more serious recently, and even the guards have a shortage of weapons. Usually, if you have anything, I will protect you. At present, the Wang family is in difficulty, and I hope you can support one or two. Wang Kuncheng said as he looked at Fan Fuan with a smile.

Although Fan Fuan had already prepared in his heart that the other party might make a request to embarrass him, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Cheng, Cheng, Brother Cheng! This ......"

Fan Fuan didn't believe that Wang Kuncheng didn't know that his family's minerals had also been reduced by half, but the other party still made this request, what does this mean?

Thinking of this, Fan Fu'an suddenly felt very angry in his heart, did the other party want to force the Fan family to death?

"Brother Cheng, the Fan family's minerals are actually ......" Although he was very angry and angry, Fan Fuan's sanity was still there, and he hurriedly explained, hoping that the other party could take back the idea.

But before he finished speaking, he was blocked back by a gesture from Wang Kuncheng.

"Don't worry. I know, right now, in Sifang City, which family's minerals have not decreased? There are too many large and small families in Sifang City, and they are all gathered in Sifang City, and everyone's resource development will not be too far away, and it is also around Sifang City. If you think about it, Sifang City is such a big place, no matter how rich the resources are, there will always be a day when they will be exhausted. ”

After speaking, Wang Kuncheng took a sip of tea, looked at Fan Fu'an's somewhat frightened pale face, chuckled, and continued: "How long has it been since there has been news of a new ore vein or a new spirit stone mine in Sifang City? ”

When Fan Fuan heard this, he was stunned, he didn't pay much attention to this, but at least for twenty years, there was no such news.

Could it be that the mineral resources of Sifang City have really reached the stage of running out of oil and drying up, so how should their family survive in the future?

In the world of cultivating immortals, minerals are like mortal food, without "food", how can everyone live?

Thinking of this, Fan Fuan's face suddenly became ugly, and he looked at Wang Kuncheng in disbelief, waiting for the other party to continue.

"I also know that in your heart, you must feel that the Wang family is the Wang family, and the Fan family is the Fan family. But in the eyes of the Tong family, in the eyes of the City Lord's Mansion, what is the difference between the Fan family and the Wang family? The Wang family is here, and others will not dare to touch your Fan family easily, because they know that if the Fan family is moved, my Wang family will definitely not sit idly by. But if the Wang family falls, will your Fan family still be able to stand in this square city? After speaking, Wang Kuncheng no longer looked at Fan Fuan's face, but got up and walked to the window of the study, pointed to the towering tree outside the window and continued.

"The Wang family is the big tree, and the seedlings under the tree are your Fan family. The little seedlings always blame the big trees for being too domineering, blocking the sunlight above their heads and sucking away most of the nutrients in the soil. But the seedlings often forget that if it weren't for the huge crown of the big tree to shield the little seedlings from the wind and rain, the little seedlings might have been exposed to strong light and died, or they were broken by the storm. Speaking of this, Wang Kuncheng suddenly turned his head and looked at Fan Fuan fixedly, the mockery in his eyes was extremely obvious.

"Don't think I don't know what you families are thinking in private. But if I don't care about that, who wouldn't be selfish? No matter what a cultivator does, as long as he can grasp his own true heart, he can ask the heavens and the Tao. What is your heart, and what my heart is, just understand it separately. ”

Fan Fuan looked at Wang Kuncheng in horror at this time, his face was as white as paper, and his forehead was covered with sweat the size of beans, which kept dripping down the side of his face onto his clothes and neck.
