509: Chapter 509 So many good things!

Everyone was talking, but each of them was filled with shock in their hearts.

After all, what the Bai Family members said just now was too terrifying.

It was much more terrifying than what they had known; they hadn't expected Lord Ye to have grown to such a level by now.

However...

Subsequently, they began to feel fortunate. Thanks to their previous friendly relations, otherwise, let alone developing mineral veins, it would be hard to say if they could even gain a firm foothold in the Jiangcheng Barrier.

"The crystal cores we've accumulated during this period are not few. These families and Powerful Experts have come from all over Huaxia to purchase Ore—the Western War Zone, the Southern War Zone..."

"In my opinion, we should find a time to send the crystal cores we've recently accumulated to Lord Ye."

"What do you all think?"

After Old Master Leng finished speaking, he looked at the various Family Heads. The Family Heads looked at the old master, listening to him, and felt helpless in their hearts. The old master could have just made the decision himself; why did he need to ask for their opinions?

However, since he had spoken.

"We feel the same. After all, it has been a long time since we sent anything to Lord Ye."

"I'll escort the delivery this time," Guan Fei said. Then, thinking about his own strength, he looked at several Family Heads. "Are any of you coming with me?"

"Yes!"

"Me, me, me! Count me in."

"And me."

...

As everyone spoke, Old Master Leng watched and waved his hand. "Fine, then you all go. I went to the Modu Barrier last time, so I won't go to the Imperial Capital Barrier this time."

"Alright, then Old Master, you stay here to oversee things and direct the progress of the mining; we'll be more at ease that way," Guan Fei said. Then he looked at the Family Heads. "Let's go, let's go prepare. After all, with these matters, the sooner the better."

"Yeah, I feel the same. Let's go."

"Let's go."

...

Old Master Leng watched the departing crowd, then recalled the previous events and couldn't help but feel emotional.

Meanwhile.

Inside the Jinling Barrier.

Old Master Li returned and saw a courtyard full of gifts. Among them were many high-Rank crystal cores, high-quality exotic plants, and other good things. Even Old Master Li was stunned.

"Good heavens, what's going on? How long have I been out? Just a day or two, and so many good things are piled up here. Let me see."

The old master spoke as he walked toward the items in front of him, observing them for a while.

Then his eyes suddenly widened, unable to believe what he was seeing.

This was simply too terrifying.

The quantity and quality here had reached an extremely terrifying level.

Nearby, Li Xiao watched the old master's reaction with a satisfied look on his Face. He felt the old master's expression was quite good; after all, he had worn the same expression earlier, perhaps even more shocked than the old master.

After all, it would be strange not to be shocked with so many gifts.

"Where did these things come from?"

The old master looked at Li Ziqin and Li Xiao standing on the other side and asked.

"These? They were sent by the Su City Barrier and large Families from other Barriers. They sent so many good things; it's truly a grand gesture..."

"You accepted them all?"

The old master's expression changed. Although he had guessed it just now, hearing Li Xiao actually say it made him frown. He felt this wasn't right. After all, the old master knew these things weren't given because of them, but for Ye Qing. It was all because of Ye Qing's current reputation and illustrious achievements that people sent so many good things.

Otherwise, their previous life was proof; although they were also a Family, the chances of coming into contact with such good things were far too few.

Li Xiao nodded. "Those Family Heads and Powerful Experts came, and their words were impossible to refuse. We had to keep these things. Some even just dropped them and left when they saw us not accepting, giving us no chance to react. After all, those Powerful Experts are all Town General or Marquis-level experts; I couldn't even keep up with their speed."

As Li Xiao spoke, he began to feel helpless.

Old Master: "..."

Good heavens, what you're saying is quite realistic.

"But if we accept these things like this, will it have any impact on Ye Qing's reputation?"

"It's fine, Old Master." Li Ziqin walked over from the side, looking at the items. She recalled that the things those Families gave her husband before were much more exaggerated than these.

"Old Master, the things those Families sent to Ye Qing before were even more terrifying; you haven't seen them..." Li Ziqin said, then began to describe the scale of the previous gifts.

Her words were like a sudden clap of thunder on level ground, leaving Li Xiao and Old Master Li frozen on the spot.

Chills rose from the soles of their feet, heading straight for the crowns of their heads.

Are these Families not planning to live anymore?

They actually gave Ye Qing so many good things?

And without asking for anything in return.

This was purely a gift, just to build good relations.

Compared to what Li Ziqin described, the items in front of them really weren't much.

"Alright then, let's keep them for now. However, Li Xiao, you must realize these things were given because of Ye Qing's Face."

"I know, Dad. I understand everything."

Li Xiao had understood this long ago. After all, given his status, it was impossible for others to give these things for his sake.

"Alright, let's start tidying up."

As Li Xiao spoke, the few of them began to get busy.

A while later, they were almost done tidying up.

Then, a figure hurriedly ran in from outside. "City Lord."

"What is it?"

"Several more teams just entered the city. From the looks of it, they brought quite a lot of things. They should be heading towards us, so we came to report first."

The guard said, describing the situation outside.

The few of them: "..."

Good heavens, we just finished tidying up, and more are coming?

Do we have to tidy up again?

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. We'll go out and welcome the guests in a bit. Judging by what Xiao Duozi said just now, those few should also be Powerful Experts or powerful Families from the large Barriers. Since they brought so many things this time, we should welcome them properly."
