What surprised Xia Xuanyue even more was that the previously famous female sword immortal, Qin Zhen, was also here.
Qin Zhen wasn't as famous as Mingxiu and Feng Qiuyan. There was a reason why Xia Xuanyue knew of her.
Qin Zhen came from a relatively ordinary family, but in the past few years of studying at Sunset College, she had displayed extremely powerful talent in the way of the sword.
The various factions placed great importance on geniuses like Qin Zhen who had no background. Who didn't want to have a few genius swordsmen like Qin Zhen under their command? Even if they didn't do anything, it was better than having such an expert work for their enemies.
When Qin Zhen was only in her second year of university, many families had already contacted her. It wasn't just the typical wealthy families. Even the six families had contacted her openly or secretly, giving her some promises.
The Xia family had also invited Qin Zhen. The conditions they offered were rather high, but Qin Zhen still rejected them.
Later, Xia Xuanyue learned that the other families had offered pretty good conditions. The Family Clan of Gods had even prepared Guardians and Mythical Liquid for her. They were the most compatible with her attributes and large amounts of resources for her to use.
However, Qin Zhen didn't go anywhere. She rejected everyone's invitations and stayed at Sunset College as a tutor.
People originally believed that Qin Zhen had stayed at Sunset College because of An Tianzuo. Now, many young geniuses chose to join Luoyang or directly enter the Sunset Army because of An Tianzuo.
It was only two days ago that Xia Xuanyue accidentally saw Qin Zhen, who was lecturing the students on the school field, that she realized that she was in Guide City.
The conditions here were worlds apart from the six families. She really couldn't figure out why Qin Zhen would choose to stay here.
Could it be that Qin Zhen thinks so highly of Zhou Wen? Xia Xuanyue thought to herself.
The investments of these large families definitely wouldn't put all their eggs in one basket. Even if there was a problem with one basket, there were still eggs in other baskets that could be eaten.
However, Qin Zhen was different. She only had one egg, which meant that she had placed everything on Guide City and Zhou Wen.
What surprised Xia Xuanyue even more was that she had seen Hui Play when she was shopping yesterday.
President Hui Haifeng only had one son, and he usually treated him like a treasure. Guide City's current situation wasn't optimistic, but Hui Haifeng actually trusted his only son to come here. It truly surprised Xia Xuanyue.
Could this Hui Wan not be Hui Haifeng's biological son? Xia Xuanyue was very suspicious.
The current situation in Guide City was completely different from what Xia Xuanyue had imagined. She was already somewhat hesitant, unsure if the conditions she and Xia Liuchuan had previously discussed could move Zhou Wen.
If there was only a piece of charcoal, the conditions they offered would be pretty good, but from the looks of it, Zhou Wen didn't seem to need any charcoal. It wasn't that easy to convince him.
Xia Xuanyue called Xia Liuchuan and told him about it. After Xia Liuchuan heard that, he wore a look of disbelief.
"The Ming Xiu you are talking about, is it Ming Xiu, the Tomorrow Swordsman? Is Feng Qiuyan from Sea Return's Feng family? "Xia Liuchuan asked in disbelief.
"Yes, I heard that they are classmates with Zhou Wen." Xia Xuanyue recounted what she had heard.
"Feng Qiuyan and Mingxiu don't only represent themselves, they also represent their families. Although these two families can't be considered top-notch, after producing these two people, they are already famous among the various warlords," Xia Liuchuan said after some thought.
Together with Qin Zhen and a few others, Guide City's strength far exceeded their expectations.
"From the looks of it, we have to change our previous plans. Those chips in the past were indeed timely help to Zhou Wen in the past, but it's not the case now. We came a step too late. We have to increase the stakes," Xia Liuchuan said with a sigh.
…
When Zhou Wen arrived at the hotel, Xia Xuanyue had just returned. The two of them happened to meet in the hotel lobby.
"Miss Xia, are you used to staying here?" Zhou Wen walked over and asked.
"It's alright. It's quite quiet," Xia Xuanyue said with a smile. "If you're free, let's find a place to chat?"
"There's a meeting room upstairs," Zhou Wen said.
"There's no need to be so formal. My brother is in charge of everything at home. I'm only in charge of passing the message. It's almost time for dinner. I heard that there's a shop nearby that sells good secret roasted meat. I was just thinking about trying it. Shall we go together? "Xia Xuanyue said.
"Sure." Zhou Wen nodded in agreement and followed Xia Xuanyue to the roasted meat shop.
After the two of them ordered their meals and sat down, Xia Xuanyue said, "Guide City is a good place, but it's not easy to gain a foothold here."
"It's indeed not easy." Zhou Wen nodded.
"Have you thought of finding someone to cooperate with?" Xia Xuanyue asked.
"Not for the time being. However, if the Xia family wants to invest in Guide City, I can consider it." Zhou Wen looked at Xia Xuanyue and said, "I wonder how much the Xia family plans on investing?"
Xia Xuanyue raised a finger without a word.
"What do you mean by one?" Zhou Wen was puzzled.
"A secret in exchange for 30% of Guide City's future profits," Xia Xuanyue said.
"What kind of secret is so valuable?" Zhou Wen curled his lips. He didn't believe that any secret was worth 30% of Guide City's profits.
"You haven't found a dimensional zone to build a city, right?" Xia Xuanyue asked instead of answering.
"No." Zhou Wen looked at Xia Xuanyue in surprise. Her question definitely wasn't without reason.
"I know that there's a dimensional zone nearby. It's easy to defend and difficult to attack. Not only is it difficult for outsiders to enter, but the environment inside is also very suitable for building a city. It's not much to exchange such a dimensional zone for 30% of your income, right?" Xia Xuanyue said.
"Since it's a nearby dimensional zone, I'll find it sooner or later. Why should I give you 30%?" Zhou Wen asked.
"If it was that easy to find, I wouldn't be telling you now. If you don't believe me, you can search for it. If you find it, consider it as me not saying anything." Xia Xuanyue seemed very certain that Zhou Wen couldn't find it.
"Alright, I'll take a look first. If I can't find it, we'll talk." Zhou Wen was very direct.
"Take your time. If you can't find it, I won't increase the price," Xia Xuanyue said with a smile.
"Even if I find it, I'll definitely leave the Xia family the best spot in the most prosperous place when I build the city in the future," Zhou Wen said.
"Then it's a deal." Xia Xuanyue didn't believe that Zhou Wen could find the dimensional zone. If it was that easy to find, it wouldn't have remained undiscovered until today.
The reason why the Xia family could find the dimensional zone was that it had something to do with the Xia family.
