Shangguan Hui retracted the steps he had just turned around and taken, although he was a little reluctant to stay here with the Third Elder for even a word, but the difference in status between himself and the Third Elder was too great, even if the Third Elder assigned him a difficult task, he had to grit his teeth and agree.

After turning around, Shangguan Hui's face did not have the slightest expression, and his attitude was still respectful and asked the third elder, "Elder, do you have anything else?"

The third elder looked Shangguan Hui up and down, and suddenly said in a loud voice: "I remember that you should be the son of the fifth elder's side branch, last time I put you in the lower realm, and I also did some training on your mind, now I see that you have a good experience, and I am ready to give you a better chance, are you willing?"

Shangguan Hui didn't expect the Third Elder to suddenly say such a thing, and with his understanding of the Third Elder, he still couldn't believe that the Third Elder would trust him so much, so he said with some hesitation: "If the elder has any orders, as long as the disciple can do it, the disciple will definitely go all out." ”

The third elder nodded slightly, and did not speak directly, but Shangguan Hui heard the third elder say: "This matter is very important to the family, of course, the family also selects the most loyal disciples, if you agree, the family will give you twice the monthly rate, if you agree, I will send someone to talk to you in detail." ”

Shangguan Wei pondered slightly, and a shocked look appeared on his face, if the mining of the Yin Yun Stone Mine is ten crystal nuclei per person per month, then twice the monthly case is twenty, which is basically close to the monthly example of the elder in the Shangguan family, and the third elder still uses a voice to tell himself, is there any special situation in this.

He just wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but he was a little reluctant in the moment of thought, and twenty crystal nuclei was also a lot of money for him. Especially during this period of time, he was in the Nether Realm, and he didn't get too many benefits, so he finally decided to gamble, so he said to the third elder: "The disciple is willing, I don't know what to let the disciple do?"

The Third Elder did not make a sound this time, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He pointed behind him and said, "There is my steward in the backyard to handle this matter for you alone, you can go to the backyard by yourself now, and I have to deal with other things." ”

After leaving the main hall where the three elders were, Shangguan Hui's face was puzzled, the two family disciples who came with him were no longer around, and he didn't know what the task arranged by the three elders was, but looking at the mysterious expressions of the three elders, it was estimated that even if he asked the two disciples, they might not necessarily know.

When Shangguan Wei entered the backyard. I saw a monk dressed as a steward drinking tea leisurely, with a book in his hand, much more leisurely than the three elders outside, and when he saw Shangguan Hui enter the backyard, the steward raised his eyes slightly to look at him, and motioned for Shangguan Hui to come to him.

When Shangguan Hui entered the distance of about two zhang from the steward's side, he felt that the barrier of aura fluctuations was squeezed open, and his face hesitated slightly. The steward saw his thoughts, and said with a faint smile on his face: "You don't have to worry. It's just a soundproof barrier to make sure that our conversations won't be heard by outsiders. ”

Shangguan Hui was even more puzzled at this time, what did he want to do, he was so rigorous, although he also wanted to retreat in his heart, but since he came here. In the end, he decided to hear what the task was, so he spoke: "This steward, the elder in the front yard asked me to come here to arrange a task with you. ”

The steward nodded slightly, and asked Shangguan Hui, "What's your name?" Tell me the last three generations of your immediate family, and I'll check it out first. ”

Shangguan Peng saw the steward pick up the book beside him. And there are several same books stacked under the table, seeing that the cover on it turned out to be the family tree in the clan, I couldn't help but be cautious, and said my name and the title of the three generations, the steward found Shangguan Hui from these books, and couldn't help nodding slightly, and then turned to Shangguan Hui and said: "You are right, you have three family members in this branch who have done this task." ”

Speaking of this, the steward carefully looked Shangguan Hui up and down a few times, and Shangguan Hui heard that the children of his own clan also did this task, so he couldn't help but relax a little, so he opened his mouth and asked the steward: "The third elder didn't tell me outside, what task am I going to do now?"

The steward waved his hand slightly and said: "Don't worry, this task is now the highest level secret in the family, except for the elders, only the disciples who do the task know the specific things, I have to confirm it again now, as long as you are sure to do this task, when the task is not completed, you must not quit halfway, can you do this?"

Shangguan Hui hesitated for a moment and said, "Then are there any holidays or anything like that?" Can I go home and discuss with someone?"

The steward still shook his head and said: "As far as I know, as long as you agree, there will be no vacation in between, even if there is time to rest, you must always stay within a certain range, now is the time for you to make a decision, if you go out of the scope of this circle, even if you give up this opportunity, you will not be able to contact this mission in the future." ”

"By the way, I would like to advise you again, about what the Third Elder and I said to you, you had better not spread it outside, as long as someone is found to spread this matter outside the family, all of them will be dealt with by the family rules. ”

Shangguan Wei couldn't help but shudder, although he resisted this task from the bottom of his heart, but the monthly example of twenty crystal nuclei per month was too attractive, if he could do it for three years and five years, then he would basically be able to guarantee the spiritual things needed for a thousand years of cultivation, thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, you say, what is it, I did it." ”

The steward nodded slightly at this time and said, "Yes, but I don't know exactly what the task is, I'll summon the Fifth Elder now, and he will come to pick you up in person." ”

Shangguan Hui didn't expect that he would let the elder come to pick him up in person, but since he was the fifth elder, if he worked under him in the future, it would be much better than the third elder, so he calmed down a little in his heart, and watched the steward take out a communication jade talisman from the storage bag, and after crushing it, the two of them stood and waited for the elder's arrival.

In less than half a pillar of incense, I saw a figure floating directly into the courtyard, and when the figure landed beside Shangguan Hui and the steward, Shangguan Hui hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Fifth Elder, you are here, and the disciple will salute you." ”

The Fifth Elder looked Shangguan Hui up and down, and couldn't help but nod and said, "It turned out to be Ah Hui, when did you come back?" Did the Third Elder summon you in?"

Shangguan Hui nodded, and briefly told the five elders about his affairs in the Nether Realm, as well as what happened after he came back, and the five elders nodded and said: "Okay, since you have agreed to do this for the family, then come with me, I will tell you some rules on the way, and you must do things according to the rules when you arrive at the place, otherwise, I won't be able to protect you." ”

After speaking, the five elders left the courtyard with Shangguan Penny, flying in mid-air, the vitality of the five elders protected the two of them, and then spoke: "The place we are going to now is where another mineral deposit of the family is located, and the ambergris crystal mined in it is not yet possible to estimate the size of the mineral deposit, so I don't know how long it will take to mine, in the process of mining, you can't contact the outside world, but the monthly income you earn can still be sent back to my home through guò." ”

"Ambergris Crystal?" Shangguan Wei couldn't help but open his mouth wide, and said with some hesitation: "Hasn't the Ambergris Crystal been purchased and mined by the Su family all along?

The Fifth Elder hesitated slightly and said, "Since you want to do the matter of mining spars in the future, it doesn't matter if the reason for this is told to you, do you know why the Ye family wants to prohibit the unauthorized mining of ambergris crystals within the scope of their jurisdiction?"

Seeing Shangguan Wei shook his head, the fifth elder continued: "Ambergris crystal is an important spar needed by the Mu family to practice in the east, because in order to restrict the Mu family, the Su family controls the mining of ambergris crystals, in case these ambergris crystals fall to the Mu family, if the ambergris crystals found this time are just a small mine, we don't have to take such a big risk to mine them ourselves to make profits, but this time the mineral deposits are too big, and the people of the Mu family have also come here to explore, and have set some conditions for us to buy." ”

"As for the matter of mining the cloud stone outside, you should already know about it, it was a smoke bomb we made to confuse the Su family, and the cloud stone was actually a mineral deposit kept by our family, which was discovered by us a long time ago, but it has not been mined. ”

Shangguan Hui's eyes lit up at this time and said: "Now we are mining this cloud stone, nominally sending it to the Ye family for smelting, in fact, the Ye family is basically a branch of the Su family, and this cloud stone is even if it is sent to the Su family for trading, so since then, the Su family has no suspicion about us mobilizing the family monks." ”

The fifth elder nodded and said: "You are right, we have an inextricable relationship with the Su family, so we are also extremely cautious in the process of selecting personnel, Shangguan Peng's mother is the sister of the head of the Su family, so all the monks of their branch have been sent to the Yin Yun Stone Mine, this is also one of the reasons, okay, I can only tell you so much, after arriving at the mine, you must work well, and with the support of the Mu family in the future, this land can really belong to our Shangguan family."
