Xiao Chen stopped at the door and said, "Change your clothes after you finish eating. I might stay here for a few more days. Whether you want to stay or leave, it's up to you!"
After he finished speaking, he left the room without looking back.
Little girl Xing turned around and looked at Xiao Chen's departing figure. Her heart was very conflicted.
She wanted to complete the task that Elder Sun had given her, but she didn't want to stay with Xiao Chen. After experiencing the dangerous mining accident, she felt that she had developed a strange feeling for Xiao Chen, but she couldn't explain it. This feeling made her uncontrollably flustered. She wanted to see Xiao Chen, but she also wanted to stay far away from him. It was a very contradictory feeling.
However, Xiao Chen didn't think as much as Little Girl Xing. He had his own reasons for staying. One reason was to consolidate his cultivation, and the other reason was to see if there was an opportunity for him to break through again.
After all, this kind of opportunity was very rare. He also wanted to see if he could increase his cultivation a bit, so that he wouldn't have to rely on the Elder Heaven Ancestor to help him in the future.
Ever since Jia Musen found out about the mine, he was muddle-headed the entire day. From time to time, he would call Jia Hongyong, but all he received was the news that Xiao Chen was still unconscious. He didn't dare tell Cheng Mengying and the others, so he didn't sleep well at night.
It wasn't until early the next morning that he received a call from Jia Hongyong and found out that Xiao Chen had woken up that the stone in his heart was finally put down. With great difficulty, he lay on his bed and took a nap for a while. Then, a servant knocked on the door and said that the family head, Jia Jinyan, wanted him to immediately go to the study. There was an important matter that needed to be discussed.
Jia Musen listened to the message in a half-awake and half-dazed state. His eyes suddenly widened. Could it be that the matter of Xiao Chen going to the Heavenly Jade Mine had been discovered?
Greatly alarmed, his sleepiness immediately flew to the horizon. He immediately got up and washed up. He didn't care about eating breakfast and quickly ran to Jia Jinyan's study.
"Mu Sen, what happened? Did you not sleep well last night? Why are the dark circles under your eyes so serious? " Jia Jinyan frowned and asked indifferently when he saw Jia Musen running in with a flustered expression and two panda eyes.
"Uh … Everyone was too enthusiastic at the banquet the day before yesterday, so I accidentally drank too much. Plus, I just won the competition, so I'm quite excited, so I haven't been sleeping well for the past two days." Jia Musen sneaked a glance at Jia Jinyan and discovered that he didn't seem to be angry. Instead, he seemed to be in a good mood. It seemed that Xiao Chen hadn't been exposed and had just casually made up an excuse.
"Oh, I see." Jia Jinyan smiled faintly, not feeling offended, "It's nothing. You've worked so hard for such a long time, and you even had such an outstanding performance in the Clans Tournament. It's normal for you to take a break."
Jia Musen secretly heaved a sigh of relief and didn't dare to be negligent. He quickly bowed respectfully and asked, "I wonder what Grandpa wants me to do by calling me over so early in the morning?"
Jia Jinyan waved his hand at Jia Musen and said with a smile, "Come, come, come. Sit here and let's have a good talk. Since you've already become the successor of the Clan Head, I wonder if you have any unique views on the future development of the Jia Clan?"
"This … I don't have any experience in this area before." Jia Musen sat down. Only now did he realize that his grandfather was looking for him to discuss the Jia Clan's problems. He modestly waved his hand and said, "Please give me some pointers, Grandpa. Perhaps I can follow by your side and learn for a period of time. Otherwise, I'll be in the dark and won't be able to say anything …"
Jia Jinyan also knew that he was being a bit difficult. Jia Musen's parents had passed away when he was young, so he definitely wasn't as familiar with the affairs of the Jia Clan as Jia Huoyan and the others. Thus, he gently explained, "Hehe, our Jia Clan is one of the three major clans of the inner martial arts circle. We mainly produce spiritual jades and provide them to the other sects and clans of the inner martial arts circle in exchange for corresponding resources as a means of survival."
Having said that, Jia Jinyan got up and opened the cabinet behind him. He took out a thick stack of information and placed it in front of Jia Musen.
Jia Musen lowered his head and gave it a cursory glance. The content of the information was related to spiritual jades. There were also some transaction contracts, but they seemed to be from a few years ago.
Jia Jinyan pointed at the cover of the stack of information and said indifferently, "This information is the report of the amount of spiritual jades produced by the Jia Clan over the years, as well as the transaction contracts with various major sects and clans. There are also some risk assessments. You can take it back and look at it first, then make your own conclusions."
"Okay, Grandpa. After I finish looking at this information, I will submit a complete report to you." Looking at the mountain of information, Jia Musen felt somewhat fortunate. Fortunately, he had stayed in Lan City University for a period of time and learned some theoretical knowledge. Otherwise, he would really be at a loss when looking at so much content.
"No hurry, take it back and slowly look at it. If you have any questions, you can ask me. First, understand this information thoroughly." Jia Jinyan nodded and said with a smile.
"Dong dong dong!"
Jia Musen was just about to say something when a series of hurried footsteps came from afar. Very quickly, they arrived in front of the door. Then, someone politely knocked on the door a few times.
"Who is it?" Jia Jinyan asked loudly.
"Grandpa, I am Jia Huoyan. May I ask if you have time now? I would like to discuss something with you. "Jia Huoyan respectfully replied from outside the door.
"Huoyan? Come in! " Jia Jinyan was a little surprised. He didn't know why Jia Huoyan was looking for him. This kid had always been someone who wouldn't wake up without benefits. He rarely took the initiative to discuss things with Jia Jinyan. Basically, he acted alone, acting first and reporting later. What was going on today? Did the sun rise from the west?
Jia Huoyan pushed the door open and saw Jia Huoyan in a suit and leather shoes. He stood at the door and adjusted his collar, smoothed his hair, and made himself look like a dog. Only then did he step into the study room.
"Jia Musen? What are you doing here? " After walking a few steps, Jia Huoyan was able to clearly see the situation in the room. He was immediately stunned. He originally wanted to look for Jia Jinyan alone to discuss, but when he entered the room, he saw Jia Musen sitting in front of the desk. His expression couldn't help but become a little embarrassed as he blurted out.
"Grandpa asked me to come here. Can't I be here?" Jia Musen glanced at Jia Huoyan, who was in a well-ironed suit, and casually said, "If you have something that you want to avoid me to tell Grandpa, you can find another time to come. If you are in a hurry, I can also go back first!"
Although he said that, Jia Musen didn't have any intention of standing up and leaving. Instead, he sat on the chair even more leisurely, crossing his legs and swinging them.
In the past, Jia Musen was the target of oppression and humiliation in the family. There was nothing wrong with Jia Huoyan directly calling him by his name. But now that he had become the successor of the family head, Jia Huoyan was still arrogant and commanding him around. Jia Musen naturally wouldn't give him any face.
