Chapter 162: Ridiculous Reason

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xue Fanxin had basically figured out Ye Jiushang and Su Baifeng’s relationship.

“Ah Jiu, why do you always sleep? Are you injured or sick? Do you want me to help you take a look?” Regardless of whether it was the Ghost King or Su Baifeng, Xue Fanxin still cared about Ye Jiushang the most. Before Ye Jiushang could respond, she had already started examining his body.
“There’s nothing wrong with your body!”

“This is a problem with the cultivation technique I am practicing, not my body. Every time I advance a level, I will have to sleep for a period. Draconic Lotus Intoxication is a counter to my cultivation technique. I can’t touch it at all, or I will suffer a backlash. You don’t understand what I’m saying now, but Il
tell you in the future.” Ye Jiushang rubbed Xue Fanxin’s head because he was happy about her care and concern.

This at least proved that he was quite important to Little Xin’er.

“Forget it, forget it. It’s too deep a matter. I won’t understand even if you tell me now. By the way, I accidentally found out a huge secret today. There is a mineral vein in the Red Maple Forest. It is said that it was discovered by the people from the Prime Minister’s Estate, but Prime Minister Su didn’t report it.
He’s planning to privately mine it.” Compared to those deep and incomprehensible things, Xue Fanxin was more interested in the mineral vein in the Red Maple Forest.

Mineral mine! That was a symbol of wealth! It represented money!
‘What she lacked the most now was money, money, money.
“What? You’re interested in that mineral vein” Ye Jiushang said indifferently. His tone was filled with disdain for the mineral vein. Clearly, the discovery in the Red Maple Forest was not worthy of his attention.

“Lam interested, but I don’t have the ability! Even the huge Prime Minister’s estate needs partners to mine it, let alone a little girl like me who has nothing. However, even if I can’t obtain it, I can’t let my enemy take advantage of me. Su Baifeng has already been classified as an enemy by me, so I definitely
wont let her mine so smoothly. Even if I have to tell the public that the Red Maple Forest has a mineral vein, I won’t let her one-up me.”

“Gu Jinyuan has already alerted the enemy. The Prime Minister’s Estate will not privately mine this mineral vein.”
“ah? Why?”

“The Prime Minister’s Estate has always thought that they had kept the matter under wraps. Only a few people in their estate know, but who wouldve thought that Gu Jinyuan already knew?”
A secret known to a third person would no longer be a secret.

Since Gu Jinyuan knew that there was a mineral vein in the Red Maple Forest, others naturally also knew. This secret could not be hidden.

If the Prime Minister’s Estate still wanted to privately mine the mineral vein, they would have to face the wrath of the Heavenly Saints Emperor.

“Because Consort Su had revealed the secret of the Draconic Lotus Intoxication, she has already lost the emperor’s trust. If the Prime Minister’s Estate does anything to anger the Heavenly Saints Emperor at this time, they will undoubtedly be courting death. If Im not wrong, Prime Minister Su will soon
report the discovery of the mineral vein.”

“You mean that because of Gu Jinyuan’s words, the Prime Minister’s Estate dodged a calamity?”

“That’s why I said that Gu Jinyuan has alerted the enemy. Initially, the matter about the Red Maple Forest Mine could have made the Prime Minister’s Estate suffer, but because he told them, they turned the situation around.” Ye Jiushang did not forget to insult Gu Jinyuan in front of Xue Fanxin.
Poor Mr. Gu. He had been schemed against by a certain two-faced fox and did not even have a chance to explain himself.

Xue Fanxin felt that Ye Jiushang made sense. Thinking about it carefully, Gu Jinyuan’s words today had indeed alerted the enemy.

“Ah Jiu, the mineral vein of the Red Maple Forest will belong to the royal family in the end, right?”

“You want it?* Ye Jiushang asked indifferently.

Xue Fanxin nodded heavily and replied, “Yes.”

Those who had money and did not want it were definitely idiots..
