Zhou Wen looked at Xia Xuanyue before looking at Zhang Yuzhi. After some thought, he said, "Time is of the essence. Let's have a chat."
Zhou Wen called the two of them over and didn't enter the building. Instead, he sat down in the garden pavilion in the estate. With the Xia and Zhang families guarding outside, he wasn't afraid of anyone disturbing him.
"Miss Xia, you previously said that there's a suitable dimensional zone to build a city. I have the intention to cooperate, but I have to see the exact situation of the dimensional zone before deciding if I want to cooperate. Don't worry. We can sign a contract first. As long as we use the dimensional zone you provide to build a city, we won't give you a single cent less, "Zhou Wen said straightforwardly.
He knew that time was of the essence. In a year or two, the dimensional zones would be completely destroyed. When the time came, if they didn't have a dimensional zone as a refuge, the hundreds of thousands of people would probably die.
"What's the point of signing a contract with the Federation's current situation?" Xia Xuanyue smiled and continued, "Since I'm here, I naturally trust you. There's no need to sign any contract. I can take you there at any time."
Just as Zhou Wen was about to say something, Zhang Yuzhi interrupted and said, "Wait, Little Wen. Why don't you ask me first if you want to find a dimensional zone to build a city?"
Zhou Wen was slightly taken aback. "Sis Yuzhi, what do you mean?"
Zhang Yuzhi said, "In terms of geomancy, which family in this world can compare to our Zhang family? Not to mention finding a place to build a city, even if you want to find a place to build a palace, I can help you find the best location."
Zhang Yuzhi's words sounded impressive, but on second thought, Zhou Wen realized that it made sense. The Zhang family did this. It was a difficult problem for Zhou Wen and company, but they might really be able to solve it easily.
When Xia Xuanyue heard Zhang Yuzhi say that, she curled her lips and said, "I admit that your Zhang family's geomancy is indeed unparalleled in this world. Finding a cemetery is indeed the best choice, but it's hard to say when it comes to finding a dimensional zone. Zhou Wen, you have to think carefully. Don't use the lives of hundreds of thousands of people to verify their knowledge. "
What Xia Xuanyue said makes sense. Even if geomancy can really deduce where there are dimensional zones, how can I deduce if that dimensional zone is suitable for building a city? Zhou Wen thought.
Zhang Yuzhi didn't flare up when she heard that. She continued saying indifferently, "Little Wen, I'll take you to take a look first. See for yourself if it's suitable."
"Sis, what conditions does the Zhang family have?" Zhou Wen knew the principle of settling accounts clearly between brothers. Furthermore, Zhang Yuzhi wasn't just representing herself. She had the Zhang family's interests backing her.
"What conditions? This is my gift to you." Zhang Yuzhi smiled and said, "I am me, and the Zhang family is the Zhang family. You've helped me so much in the past. Can't I give you a home? Whether or not you will cooperate with the Zhang family in the future, it has nothing to do with this matter, and I don't want you to cooperate with the Zhang family. "
Zhang Yuzhi's last sentence stunned Xia Xuanyue and Zhou Wen.
The first half of the sentence was easy to understand. Be it Zhang Yuzhi's true thoughts or her desire to befriend Zhou Wen, those words made sense.
However, her last sentence didn't make sense. As a member of the Zhang family, it was difficult to understand why Zhang Yuzhi didn't wish for Zhou Wen to cooperate with the Zhang family.
Zhou Wen originally wanted to ask why, but he held back. There were too many people here. If Zhang Yuzhi's answer was rather private, it wouldn't be good to ask. Zhou Wen planned on asking her in private later.
However, Xia Xuanyue suddenly thought of something. She glanced at Zhang Yuzhi and said meaningfully to Zhou Wen, "Zhou Wen, the dimensional zone I plan on recommending to you is Diqiu. I can guarantee that our Xia family discovered that dimensional zone first. It's not like some people who rely on their well-informed connections to do shady deals."
Clearly, Xia Xuanyue suspected that the Zhang family had stolen the Xia family's intelligence and wanted to use the same dimensional zone to cooperate with Zhou Wen. She didn't believe a single word Zhang Yuzhi had said.
After all, there were so many strange dimensional zones in Guide City. How could it be so easy to find another dimensional zone that was suitable for building a city? The possibility of it being the same dimensional zone was very high.
Regardless of whether the Zhang family had stolen the intelligence from the Xia family, Xia Xuanyue had mentioned it first. If it was really the same dimensional zone, the Zhang family wouldn't be in a position to continue vying for it.
Zhou Wen wasn't unfamiliar with the name Diqiu.
Legend had it that Emperor Ku of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors was buried there. Everyone believed that there should be a dimensional zone there, but no one had found one.
Ignoring the fact that it was suitable for building a city, it was already very rare for the Xia family to be able to find the Diqiu dimensional zone.
Zhou Wen looked at Zhang Yuzhi, wanting to know if the dimensional zone she mentioned was Diqiu.
The corners of Zhang Yuzhi's mouth curled up slightly as she said disdainfully, "Some people like to measure the heart of a gentleman with a cautious heart. Our Zhang family naturally knows about a dimensional zone like Diqiu, but it's a tomb after all. Even if it's Emperor Ku's tomb, it can't change the fact that it's a tomb. That's a place for the dead. How can I let Little Wen build a city in such a place? Wouldn't that be building a city of the dead? "
"Oh, then I'd like to hear where the dimensional zone your Zhang family chose is," Xia Xuanyue said as she stared at Zhang Yuzhi.
"Anyway, it's not Diqiu. As for where it is, it has nothing to do with your Xia family." As Zhang Yuzhi spoke, she held Zhou Wen's hand and stood up. "Let's go. I'll take you to see that dimensional zone now. As for Diqiu, it's fine even if we don't go."
"Miss Xia, if we use Diqiu to build a city in the future, the Xia family will definitely have a share. Don't worry about that." Zhou Wen explained to Xia Xuanyue before he was pulled away by Zhang Yuzhi.
After leaving the estate and arriving at an empty spot, Zhou Wen asked Zhang Yuzhi, "Sis, where is the dimensional zone you mentioned?"
"You'll know when we get there." Zhang Yuzhi blinked but didn't tell Zhou Wen the answer. All she did was pull him forward.
Zhang Xiao and the members of the White Crane team protected Zhang Yuzhi and didn't speak to Zhou Wen. Even Zhang Xiao, who had always had a problem with Zhou Wen, didn't argue with him this time.
As they walked, Zhou Wen felt that something was amiss. The path Zhang Yuzhi took him on was near Guide City. He had been to these places before, so he knew the dimensional zones here. There was no dimensional zone suitable for building a city.
"Don't tell me the dimensional zone you mentioned is here?" When Zhang Yuzhi stopped, Zhou Wen looked at the familiar ancient city and moat in front of him and asked with an odd expression.
"That's right. It's Guide City's ancient city. You want to build a city. Now that the city is here, you can even save the money for building a city. Isn't I treating you very well?" Zhang Yuzhi said with a smile.
