208: Chapter 208 Turning Hands to Create Clouds and Rain

Jinling Barrier, the Vice City Lord and others also arrived.

Li family residence.

"Grandmaster Li, someone has arrived!"

"People from Jiangcheng Barrier have arrived!"

Whoosh!

Inside the Li family residence, Li Xiao, Li Mubai, and Li Zhenhai all stood up in an instant.

What is this?

Has Zi Qin returned?

Excitement was written all over their faces.

"Has Older Sister returned?"

"Or has Brother-in-law returned?"

Li Mubai could hardly hide his excitement and hurriedly asked.

The messenger: "..."

"It is not the Young Miss, nor is it Lord Ye. It is a team from Jiangcheng Barrier here to deliver something. You should come and take a look, Grandmaster Li."

A while later.

They arrived before the delivered goods.

Li Mubai looked at them, "I know what this is. I've heard that Brother-in-law has discovered a mineral vein for this energy Ore. This item is incredibly precious right now."

"I heard that compared to a crystal core, this doesn't contain violent energy and is more suitable for absorption."

As Li Mubai said this, he picked up a piece of raw energy Ore.

He began to absorb it.

The next moment.

A massive surge of power immediately entered his body.

A short while later.

Boom!

A faint muffled explosion sound came from Li Mubai's body.

Everyone: "..."

Good grief, you just had a Breakthrough? Your advertisement is too effective.

Li Mubai felt his own sense of power, then looked at everyone's gazes and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Don't look at me like that. My Rank is relatively low, so it's normal to level up after absorbing one. You guys might not be able to."

"Hey, hey, hey, Dad, why are you pinching me? I didn't say you weren't capable, I meant you and the old man wouldn't be able to level up after absorbing just one piece of Ore like I did."

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"

Released, Li Mubai kept gasping in pain, looking at Li Xiao with an incredulous expression.

"Alright everyone, you've had a tiring journey. Sit down, drink some tea, and rest for a few days."

"Alright, thank you for your hospitality!"

The few looked at Li Xiao and the others, knowing they must be people close to Lord Ye. Interacting with them would be beneficial.

Elsewhere.

On the road from Yongan Barrier to Jiangcheng Barrier.

A group of family heads were swaggering along with the Bandits' assets and corpses.

Every time they passed a Barrier, or encountered family heads out purchasing supplies, it drew a lot of attention.

"Aren't those the family heads from Yongan Barrier? Why are these people hauling corpses on their carts, along with quite a few crystal cores? What does this mean?"

"It's truly strange. I don't know either. Look at them, each one holding their heads high, looking incredibly proud."

"You guys don't know the whole story. They just got lucky," said someone nearby.

Hmm?

The few turned to look.

"What's going on?"

"I heard that Ye Qing was going to transport Ore to Sucheng Barrier and Jinling Barrier. When passing by Yongan Barrier, he encountered Bandits. These family heads got the news, went to exterminate the Bandits, and cleared out their assets."

"Now they have a chance to make contact with Lord Ye. They are using this method to publicize their achievements and also to spread the word about what happens to those who dare to plunder Lord Ye's goods."

"Damn, these old foxes really know how to come up with new ideas."

"Who's to say? But this trick definitely works. Who told them they were lucky enough to have an opportunity to make contact with Lord Ye fall from the sky."

...

The various family heads were talking, their faces filled with indignation.

And also with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

However, who told them they had good fate.

Envy was useless.

After the group arrived at Jiangcheng Barrier.

They stated their business.

Ye Qing also received the news.

He understood their intentions.

He then received them in the manor.

The family heads entered the manor, filled with excitement.

Then, they saw Ye Qing.

This!

In an instant, every family head froze, their eyes widening, simply unable to believe what they were seeing!

So young?!

He looks even younger than the rumors!

A young man ennobled as a marquis!

This is a true young man ennobled as a marquis!

"Lord Ye!"

One family head was the first to react from the shock and bowed, saying.

The other family heads did the same.

"Lord Ye!"

"Lord Ye!"

...

"Lord Ye, these are the corpses of the Bandits, as well as their assets."

The few said, then looked outside the door.

Ye Qing looked outside, "Forget about the corpses, find a place to put them; no need to keep them inside the manor. As for the assets, thank you all for your hard work in bringing them back."

"Lord Ye, you are too polite."

"How about this, I can't let you make this trip in vain. In a moment, I will write you a note, and you can just go to the mineral vein and collect some Ore."

Tsk tsk!

Listening to this, everyone was filled with excitement.

However, one family head rolled his eyes and said, "Lord Ye, this is what we should do. We cannot take the Ore for free. We brought quite a few crystal cores, which can be exchanged. As long as you give the order, it would be great if you could raise our priority for future exchanges."

"What do you think?"

After this sentence, the other family heads all chimed in.

"Fine, I will arrange it when I return."

"You can go take a look over there now, or drink some tea here."

"We won't disturb you further, Lord Ye. We'll go take a look first."

"We'll take our leave, Lord Ye."

...

After saying their piece, they left.

"Hubby, they've left? We even brewed tea."

"They got what they wanted, so naturally they left." Ye Qing saw through these people's thoughts clearly.

"Alright, let's work together to move those Bandits' assets in. After all, I see there are quite a lot of assets."

Ye Qing said.

Everyone began to move them.

Leng Ruoxi, who was there, watched with a twitching mouth. Recently, she had seen great wealth. Ye Qing was making money hand over fist.

These crystal cores were being sent to him like they were free.

Moreover, all sorts of figures were coming to curry favor with him.

Ye Qing was now a red-hot figure in China.

Elsewhere, Jing Yue's eyes were practically sparkling; Brother-in-law was simply too handsome.

Wielding immense power!

He could control these family heads, and even mobilize the military department without being in it.

Thinking about it, Jing Yue's face unconsciously turned red.

The next moment, Leng Ruoxi bumped her, "Little girl, why are you blushing? What are you thinking about while looking at Ye Qing?"

Ah!

Jing Yue let out a low cry, then touched her own face. Sure enough, the temperature was quite high. She bit her lip gently, "I, I, I, I wasn't thinking about anything."

After Jing Yue calmed down for a moment, "It's Sister Leng, your face seems a bit red too?"

Ah?!

Leng Ruoxi couldn't help but touch her own face, Tsk!

It really seemed a bit hot!
