C20 Waste ore
It was not until the next morning that Vader, Shrewd, and the others who had not slept all night rushed into the meeting tent, waiting for news from the workers.
The worker who came yesterday quickly came over and reported in a dejected tone: "Patriarch, until now the soil has been dug out. I would like to ask if you want to continue the mining?"
It's over! Everyone knew that even until now, what was dug out was still earth, so this vein of ore was indeed a waste mine, and there was no need to go on mining.
"Bam!" The teacup Vidala was carrying shattered on the floor. His heart turned cold, and the more he hoped, the more disappointed he became.
Forget it, a waste mine is a waste mine. My Vidara family didn't take advantage of me, and neither did the Alec family! Vader thought angrily.
Only by thinking like this would he be able to feel more at ease.
In his heart, Shi Roland was also sad, but fortunately, he had prepared himself well and was still able to accept this reality.
Li Zhenting's face was heavy, but in his heart, he felt as happy as Alec. Everything was moving in the direction he wanted.
Mu Xiao Ran felt that it was a pity that he was acting on behalf of Shi Roland.
For a time, everyone had different thoughts and thoughts, and the scene was unusually still.
Alec's mind was racing — what could he do to make Vidala give up the ownership of the land?
Alec had been thinking about this since he woke up at dawn.
After some thought, Alec came up with a solution. However, this was not a foolproof plan, and it was a bit far-fetched. Alec was betting, betting on Vidala's self-righteousness, betting that he despised his own.
After thinking about it for a while, Alec decided to use this strategy. Even if he failed, it wouldn't do him much harm.
Just as everyone was dejected and ready to return home, Alec's slightly foolish voice sounded out, "Mother, Fei'er doesn't want to leave. Fei'er feels especially good cultivating here. Fei'er wants to live here. "
Live here? When they heard this, they were stunned for a moment, then shook their heads — Living in the Kunrin Mountains? I'm glad you can think of it. Why did this fool have so many strange thoughts in his heart?
Now that Alec's power had increased, although the crowd still despised him or were jealous of him, they could no longer directly show it to the public. However, they still felt disdain towards Alric's IQ.
If the mines were not unearthed, Vidala would be furious. He had always hated Alec, and now that he heard Alec's words, he was even more furious. Idiot! Idiot! How could an idiot like this be allowed to live in this world!
Vidala's harsh and sarcastic nature exploded, but as an old fox who had fought for so many years, he didn't show it on the surface. He only said sinisterly, "The son of the Ling Family Patriarch is rarely seen in this world. His mind was intelligent and his thoughts were unique. It's not a bad idea to live in the Kunrin Mountains. The vitality here is plentiful, and it's practically the first river of our generation. "
The others were gloating in a slightly happy manner. They all understood that although Vidala's words were pleasant to hear, every single word he said was sarcastic towards Roland for having such a foolish son.
He was obviously very unhappy and was about to open his mouth to say something when he found that his son was bowing respectfully to Vidal. He said quite happily, "Thank you, Uncle Zhang, for your praise. This nephew does not dare to accept it."
The group looked at Alec like he was a monkey. No matter how much they tried to hide their disdain, they could not hide it. Everyone knew that Vidala was being sarcastic, that he didn't know, that Vidala was praising him.
If not for the presence of Shi Roland, everyone would probably have burst into laughter. But when they saw the hostile look on Shi Roland's face, everyone held it in. After all, it was the Alliks who had the most momentum in Qingfeng.
Feeling the mocking gazes from the crowd, Alec nodded slightly in his mind. This was exactly what he wanted.
"Heh heh, I'm speaking the truth. Nephew Alec, please don't be modest." Everyone was afraid of Shi Roland, but Vidala wasn't. After giving Alec a look, he spoke with a profound tone.
Seeing the gloomy face of the stone Roland, seemingly on the verge of erupting, Vader did not care at all, turning around and striding out of the tent.
Alec's heart sank when he saw this. This old fox had not been fooled. However, it didn't matter. He would think of a way to do it later. After all, he was the only one who knew the secret of this mine.
However, at this moment, Vidala's footsteps suddenly slowed down. This brat's plan to build a house in the Kunrin Mountains was something that most people would not be able to accomplish, but considering the Alec family's current influence and how much Shrewd had doted on her foolish son, it was not impossible to build a house here.
He thought for a while and realized that he had planned to kill this fool for a long time. He didn't dare to do it because he couldn't find the right time and was afraid that Alec would find out that it was the Vader family's doing.
If he allowed a fool to fulfill his wish, and occasionally stayed in the Kunrin Mountains for a few days, then the chances of him fighting would be too great!
There were many magical beasts in the Kunrin Mountains. If a fool were to die, it could also be due to bad luck that they encountered a magical beast that was too powerful.
At this thought, Vidala felt a surge of joy in his heart. The problem that had been bothering him for so long was finally solved.
Idiot, don't blame me, you jumped into all this yourself.
Vidala tried to hide his real thoughts. He stopped, still wearing the same faint look of disdain he always had when he saw Alec, and tossed the book to him.
Alec's eyes lit up. He had originally thought that this plan would fail. He hadn't expected that Vader would actually take the initiative to show him the land deed book!
Don't blame me, Vidala. You jumped in yourself.
The title deed was a document indicating the ownership of the land on the Xuan continent. As soon as Alec and Eloz discovered the mine vein, the Ling and Zhang families quickly applied for ownership of the land in the Sky Fire City, which was the territory of Qingfeng Town.
Soon the deed was given, but since the Alec and Vedara families had discovered the vein, the land was owned by the Aleck and Vedara families.
What Alec wanted to see was Vidala's clever surrender of the land.
"Nephew Alec, from now on this land belongs to you. It has nothing to do with my Vidara family. You can set up houses and practice places here." Vidala said with a look of contempt and indifference.
He wanted others to feel that he was doing this, as usual, but he was just being displeased with the fool and trying to push him over. He couldn't let anyone know what he was truly thinking right now.
He was even afraid that due to the ownership of the land, the Vidara Family would come over and get a share of the lodging, so he gave the land deed to Alec to relieve him of his worries.
Vidala's actions could be said to have been painstakingly carried out.
"Then this nephew will thank Uncle Zhang." Alec said happily, holding the book as if it were a treasure.
Seeing how the fool was being teased by Vader and still appearing to be very happy about his treasure, he couldn't help but sigh. This fool's IQ was truly limited.
"Thank you, Clan Leader Zhang, for your kindness. I, Roland, fully appreciate your kindness!" Seeing his son being toyed with by the old fox Vidala, Shi Roland felt extremely furious, but he couldn't do anything about it.
"Clan head Ling is too courteous, I dare not to be unworthy of your title!" Vader flung his sleeves and strode out of the tent again.
Shi Roland felt hatred in his heart. Then he looked at Alec who was grinning foolishly. The hatred in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by a deep heartache.
With a long sigh, he lovingly stroked his son's head.
"Fei'er." He held his son, tears streaming down his face. Every time he saw others laughing at his son while he was powerless, his heart would be filled with pain.
All these years of struggling and supporting Alec's family was just to stop him from being bullied.
But today Vidala, that beast, had humiliated his son in public, and now he was unable to do anything to protect his son. How could this not make his mother feel uncomfortable?
Alec patted his mother on the shoulder and knew what she was feeling.
Alec was moved. He wiped the tears from Shrew's cheeks with concentration.
Seeing his son's actions, Shi Roland was slightly surprised. Because this kind of expression and behavior had never appeared on his son before.
As he rejoiced, the tears in his eyes did not stop.
Alec wiped them off one by one and comforted her gently, "Mother, don't be upset. That old fool Vader didn't play tricks on his son today. He was played by Fei'er instead."
Afraid that Shrewd would not understand, Alec raised the land deed book in his hands and said happily, "Look at this. In the future, this land will belong to Alec's family."
Shi Roland smiled and said lovingly, "That's right, my Fei'er is the best."
A guard came out from the tent and bowed: "Reporting to patriarch, the luggage has been packed. Please decide when to leave."
"Yes, we will set out immediately and return home." Shi Luolan ordered. Since this vein had already been confirmed as a waste mine, there was no point in staying here.
"Yes, Chief." The guard left.
Alec knew that Roland had not understood what he meant, so he said, "Mother, let's not rush to leave yet. Fei'er still has something to tell you."
"I know what you are going to say. We can't live here right now. After we go back, I will order the workers to build a house here. You can come back later on."
He thought Alec wanted to stay there because he didn't want to leave, so he said that.
In fact, after Alec had raised this question in public, Shrew had been seriously considering how he could find a way to satisfy his son's needs while ensuring his safety as much as possible.
In the end, he realized that even though this was the Kunrin Mountains, it was only the outermost region. Magical beasts were rare, but even if there were a few, they would still be of low rank. The Alec family's guards were more than enough to deal with them.
