"Looking for gold?"
Ling Yun couldn't help but laugh. He waved at Ye Xingchen. "You should've said so earlier. Come with me."
Ling Yun's divine sense was extremely powerful now. With a sweep of his divine sense, he already knew that there was gold hidden in this deep courtyard, and quite a lot of it.
Ling Yun's figure flashed, and he went straight to the last courtyard. After entering, he floated to the left, then came to a wall on the west side and stood still.
Ye Xingchen followed, and he also stopped and asked, "Where is it?"
Ling Yun pointed to his feet. "It's right under our feet."
With that, he raised his hand and pressed his index finger on a spot on the wall. There was a switch there, but no matter how you looked at it, it looked like it was used to turn on and off the lights. However, as soon as Ling Yun pressed it, there was a sliding sound, and a square hole more than two meters wide appeared on the rocky ground behind the two of them.
Needless to say, the enormous wealth that the Assassins Organization's Beijing branch had accumulated over the years was definitely hidden here.
Ye Xingchen looked at the huge hole and shook his head. "They really know how to hide."
Ling Yun laughed. "This is called the darkest place under the light. The more valuable something is, the more impossible it is to hide it, such as this switch."
Ye Xingchen frowned. "But if someone comes in and accidentally presses this switch, then won't the gold be exposed?"
Ling Yun laughed. "The problem is, who would dare come in? I think this room is where Sikong Wuqing and Sikong Wuhen will stay when they return. If they don't return, then those kings of assassins will guard this place. "
Ye Xingchen nodded, thinking that this was indeed the case.
"Let's go down and take a look."
As Ling Yun spoke, his figure floated directly towards the entrance of the cave.
"Be careful of the traps!"
Ye Xingchen warned loudly. Unexpectedly, Ling Yun laughed. "Don't worry, there usually aren't any traps in places like this."
As he spoke, he had already landed safely in the underground warehouse.
Ye Xingchen also immediately flew down and said in astonishment, "There really aren't any traps."
Ling Yun smiled and explained, "This place is heavily guarded, and the strongest people are always guarding here. Even if someone knows that there is gold here, they won't be able to come in. And for those who can come in, all the traps are useless against them, like the two of us."
Ye Xingchen didn't even look at the neatly arranged gold bars and bricks in the underground secret chamber. She glanced at Ling Yun with her beautiful eyes and said, "No wonder so many people couldn't kill you in Qingshui. Looks like you're pretty smart!"
"Of course!" Ling Yun raised his head and looked around like he was the ruler of the world.
Ye Xingchen couldn't be bothered with his posturing. He smiled and asked, "Then tell me, what should we do with this gold? In my opinion, there should be at least twenty to thirty tons of gold here, which is worth at least five billion yuan. "
One ton of gold was one million grams, and one gram of gold was close to three hundred yuan. In this way, one ton of gold was close to three hundred million yuan, and twenty tons would be six billion yuan.
The two of them looked at the room full of gold. It was enough to fill a large truck, and there would only be more than 20 tons.
However, Ling Yun frowned. "How can a branch of the Assassins Organization in the capital accumulate so little wealth? That doesn't make sense. "
Ye Xingchen rolled her eyes at him and smiled. "You don't know the price of food and fuel unless you're in charge. Do you think it's that easy to earn money from an assassin organization?
"The assassins of the Assassins Organization are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow. A large branch can have up to a thousand assassins. Their food, clothing, accommodation, daily training, and other necessities for carrying out missions, including weapons, are all paid for by the organization. Just raising these assassins is a huge expense, not to mention the outreach and intelligence services. All added up, the daily expenses are unimaginable.
"Moreover, assassins don't always succeed when they go out to carry out missions. For example, how many of the assassins from the Assassins Organization have died in your hands? It's a net loss! "
Hearing this, Ling Yun understood and nodded with a chuckle. "Hmm, looks like the Assassins Organization in the capital is quite profitable."
Ye Xingchen pursed her lips and said, "It's you no matter what. Tell me, what do you want to do with this gold? "
Ling Yun didn't even think. "In my opinion, it's not easy for you to take so much gold with you deep in the mountains and forests. Why don't you give it all to me? I have a spatial ring and can move three to five tons at a time. It'll be done in seven or eight trips."
Ye Xingchen glared. "You really know how to find excuses!"
Ling Yun laughed heartily and shrugged. "How about I give it all to you? I don't care."
Of course, Ye Xingchen wasn't doing this for money. She asked Ling Yun curiously, "Your Heaven and Earth Group has just been established, but your net worth is already over a hundred billion. Why are you still so short of money?"
Ling Yun's expression turned serious. "Now that my father has been saved, I can openly return to the Ling family. There are many things waiting to be done in the Ling family, so naturally, we need money everywhere. Secondly, you should know that I've trained 72 fighters in the capital. I want all of them to advance to the Xiantian Realm within a year. That's going to be a mountain of gold and silver, right?
"Most importantly, now that I've cultivated to this realm, any random thing I make will cost me a lot of money. Wealth, companions, methods, and land, money comes first. Do you understand?"
In the Cultivation World, the real hard currency was spirit stones, or even spirit veins and immortal veins. But now that Ling Yun was in the city, he had to buy many things with money if he wanted to cultivate.
Ye Xingchen couldn't help but laugh after listening to Ling Yun's reasoning. "Alright, then this gold is all yours. I don't have any use for it anyway."
Ye Xingchen didn't want these things in the first place. She was looking for gold for Ling Yun.
Hehe, no matter how much property I have, it'll be yours sooner or later.
Ling Yun laughed inwardly. He couldn't help but test Ye Xingchen again.
"Stop being so smug!"
Ye Xingchen rebutted with a single sentence, then said, "Then … you're moving now?"
Ling Yun shook his head. "No need. Family matters are more important now. I have to hurry back and treat Auntie Green Bird. Her old illness is very serious. I can't afford to waste any more time."
"Let's go out."
The two of them flew out one after another and left the underground warehouse. Then, Ling Yun called Chester in.
Chester came in and greeted respectfully, "Boss."
Ling Yun pointed at the entrance of the cave. "There's something you like down there. Help me guard this place for a few days. If anything happens, contact me immediately. I'll rush over immediately."
"As you command, Boss."
Chester nodded respectfully.
Ling Yun pointed at the switch on the wall. "The switch to open and close this cave is over there. The switch inside is near the door. If you need to leave temporarily, press it."
"Boss, your loyal servant, Chester, will not leave you for even an inch."
Ling Yun smiled and nodded. He pointed at the entrance of the cave. "Then you can leave."
Although Chester was a member of the Blood Clan, he liked beautiful women and gold. It was naturally best for him to guard this place.
Moreover, Chester could fly. Even if Sikong Wuqing couldn't let go of the wealth and came back, Chester could still handle it.
After making the arrangements, Ling Yun and Ye Xingchen left together and quickly left the deep courtyard.
"Where are we going?"
"To get my communication device."
The two of them quickly arrived at the place where Ling Yun had placed the communication device. Ling Yun stretched out his hand and directly pulled the communication device into his hand.
Ling Yun turned his head and smiled at Ye Xingchen. He teased, "Can you tell me your contact number now?"
"Sure, sure, sure. I'll give it to you."
Ye Xingchen didn't hesitate and immediately gave his contact number to Ling Yun. It was very straightforward.
After getting Ye Xingchen's contact number, Ling Yun stared at Ye Xingchen's face without letting go, forcing Ye Xingchen to retreat.
"What do you want?"
"The main reason is to remember your face. Secondly, I want to tell you that arranging for Xiao Meimei to be my spy is really the worst plan of all." Ling Yun chuckled.
Ye Xingchen finally blushed and lowered her head to defend herself. "That was purely an overt plan, alright? I just wanted to confirm your identity. Otherwise, it would be very awkward to do many things."
"Yes, you're a good child if you're willing to tell the truth and admit your mistakes."
Ye Xingchen immediately turned hostile. "Are you asking for a beating again?"
Ling Yun laughed and retorted, "What would you do if I wasn't a descendant of the Ling Family?"
"Then I'd kill you," Ye Xingchen replied indifferently.
Her voice was calm but firm. It sounded as if Ye Xingchen had once again become the unruly Holy Virgin of the Devil Sect.
Ling Yun snorted. "Tsk, why don't you take a look at yourself first …"
Ye Xingchen suddenly raised her foot and kicked Ling Yun's calf.
It didn't hurt or itch, so Ling Yun couldn't be bothered. He was busy taking things out of his spatial ring.
"Hey, this is a gift for you. See if you like it."
Ling Yun carefully carved two sculptures. The left one was Ye Xingchen, the right one was himself. He extended his hand and handed them to Ye Xingchen.
Ye Xingchen's face lit up with joy. She snatched the two sculptures almost as if she was fighting for them. Her beautiful eyes gradually revealed a smile, obviously delighted.
"And this!"
Ling Yun said as he took out a set of blood-jade jewelry. The sky was already bright, and the blood-jade jewelry shone with a red luster. It was a rare treasure.
Seeing this set of jewelry, an indescribable light flashed through Ye Xingchen's eyes. That kind of joy came purely from the heart, not because of the gift, but because Ling Yun had already made the things that she had asked for.
But now, both of Ye Xingchen's hands were full. She smiled and rolled up the Heavenly Demon Belt, putting away the set of blood-jade jewelry.
"There's another set of purple …"
Another set appeared in Ling Yun's hands. This was a set of purple jade, meticulously crafted by a master sculptor. The purple was mysterious and enchanting.
"Ah?!"
Ye Xingchen used the Heavenly Demon Belt again.
"There's another set …"
Another set appeared in Ling Yun's hands. The black was shiny and translucent, as if it contained all the darkness of the night.
Ye Xingchen was both happy and resentful. "You … How do you expect me to carry so many?"
Ling Yun finally had Ye Xingchen at her wit's end. With a thought, an exquisite jade box appeared in his hands. It was half a meter long and twenty centimeters wide and tall. It was just enough to hold the two sculptures and five sets of jewelry.
Ling Yun opened the box. Inside were two more sets of white and yellow jade jewelry. "Put them all in. I've prepared them for you."
"You dare trick me?! I'll kick you to death! "
Ye Xingchen kicked again.
Ling Yun flew away. "It's just a joke. You don't have to be so serious, right?"
The two of them, one fleeing and the other chasing, soon left the valley. (To be continued.)
