"She's quite filial," Ning Qingyan commented in her heart.
Bixi was still relaying the conversation between Fang Ling and her daughter in real time.
"The Yan family is getting more and more arrogant! Even before the competition has begun, the Yan family is sure that they will be the final winner? Will they take over the city lord's palace?!"
Fang Yanyan was extremely angry after hearing Fang Ling talk about Yan Hang's interception.
Fang Ling in turn comforted him and told him not to be angry because of it.
Ning Qingyan heard something else from this conversation. "Huh? Do the city lords of Tiangu City take turns? I'm afraid it has something to do with the ownership of the spirit stone vein."
She guessed right!
Now that Xuan Xiu has just recovered, cultivation resources are in short supply, so the management rights of a place are often closely related to resources.
Just like Tiangu City, there is only one vein of low-grade and impure spirit stones here.
Every other year, the three families of Fang, Yan, and Zheng in Tiangu City will have an exchange, and based on the results of the exchange, they will determine the ownership of the mineral veins in the next year.
Similarly, whoever gets the ownership rights of the mineral vein will be the city lord of Tiangu City for the next year.
During this year, all resources such as the entry fee received by Tiangu City and the taxes paid by the shops in the city belong to this family.
It is precisely because of such huge interests that the three families in Tiangu City will fight to the death, with no one willing to take a step back.
The Fang family won the last exchange.
Therefore, this year, the Lingshi mine was mined by the Fang family, and they lived in the city lord's mansion, enjoying all the privileges belonging to the city lord.
Now, a new exchange meeting is about to begin again, but the situation of the Fang family does not seem to have gotten better due to this year's accumulation. It seems that something unexpected happened, causing this exchange meeting to be at a disadvantage.
On the contrary, the Yan family seemed to have received some help, which made Yan Yan's attitude towards Fang Ling so arrogant in Linshan.
In the conversation between father and daughter, some words were not made very clear.
Therefore, after listening to Bixi's account, Ning Qingyan could only guess roughly what happened to the Fang family, what help the Yan family received, and how the seemingly low-key Zheng family prepared...
Ning Qingyan didn't know anything about it.
"Master Ning, Fang Ling told her father about you." Bixi reminded her.
Ning Qingyan was not surprised. Ning Qingyan had guessed Fang Ling's plan from the moment Fang Ling brought her home.
"You mean, she is in the Qingling realm?" Fang Yanyan was a little shocked.
Fang Ling nodded affirmatively: "That's right! Senior Ning is in the Qingling realm, and I can see clearly. If not, Yan Zhang wouldn't let us go so easily."
The dialect is thoughtful.
Fang Ling said eagerly: "Dad! The Yan family can ask for foreign aid, why can't our Fang family? If we can convince Senior Ning to help, our chances of winning will increase!"
"Do you know the origin of this Miss Ning?" Fang Yanyan asked calmly.
"..." Fang Ling suddenly fell silent.
On the way, she didn't think of asking Ning Qingyan's origins tentatively.
However, he was afraid that his testing methods would be too much and arouse Ning Qingyan's resentment, so he gave up.
"No. I was afraid that I would offend Senior Ning with my nonsense, so I didn't ask anything. I thought, no matter what, she saved us, and you will thank her again. When we meet, I can ask you whatever you want.
It's dad's business." Fang Ling said honestly.
Fang Yanyan laughed angrily at her dismissal of the shopkeeper, "You girl!"
Ning Qingyan couldn't help but smile when she heard this. "This shows that the city lord and his wife love Fang Ling very much."
"Now you also have a grandfather." Bi Xi said.
Ning Qingyan was startled, then suddenly laughed. "Bi Xi, everything in the past life has long since disappeared. I have already let go of it in my heart."
If Biyi hadn't mentioned it, even she herself would have forgotten how much family betrayal she suffered in her previous life, and how she scorned family love in the world!
So much so that Biyi came to comfort her.
"Master Ning, if they ask you for help, will you agree?" Bixi asked curiously.
Ning Qingyan smiled brightly, "Of course it depends on how many chips they are willing to give."
Here, Ning Qingyan and Bi Xi were chatting about whether they wanted to help the Fang family.
On the other side, the Fang family father and daughter were also discussing this matter.
Fang Ling didn't quite understand her father's concerns. "Father, no matter who Senior Ning is, her strength lies there. As long as she is willing to help, isn't it enough?"
Fang Yanyan frowned lightly, "Ling'er, have you ever thought about what if she came to this remote town of ours because of the persecution of her enemies?"
Fang Ling was stunned.
Fang Yanyan sighed: "As the head of the clan, I have to consider a lot. What if she is really in the situation I thought she was, even if she is willing to help, and even helps us win everything. Once she leaves, she
Her enemies arrived, found out about her deal with our Fang family, and got angry at us. How will our Fang family save ourselves?"
Fang Ling fell silent.
The father's concerns are not impossible.
But now, Ning Qingyan is their Fang family's only hope, do they really have to give up like this?
"But, even if we don't ask Senior Ning for help now, Yan Yan still knows about Senior Ning's existence, and countless people in the city are watching me take her into the city lord's mansion. If everything is really as you think, dad, we
Is it still clear?" Fang Ling lowered her head and muttered.
Fang Yan's breath froze, as if he didn't expect Fang Ling to say this.
These words were also relayed to Ning Qingyan by Bi Xi.
Ning Qingyan didn't look angry at all when she heard the analysis in dialect. Instead, she smiled and said, "You are indeed worthy of being the head of the clan."
He even praised her generously, "The father is calm and the daughter is transparent. The Fang family is pretty good at educating people."
"Master Ning, they are planning to come find you." Bixi suddenly said.
"Huh?" Ning Qingyan narrowed her eyes and smiled playfully: "It seems that the father and daughter have reached an agreement."
"Do you want to see Lord Ning?" Bixi asked.
Ning Qingyan raised her eyebrows: "See you! Why not see you? This is about my first pot of gold when I came to the Xuan Realm!"
