"How can I not be anxious? It's almost dawn." Jiang Chenzhong tried to get some benefits from Wenren Rourou.

"Is this how the Wenren family treats guests? Is there any compensation, mental compensation, physical compensation, etc."

"We are all well-known and well-known people. We cannot be fooled by you for no reason..."

"I'm not kidding you. Don't talk nonsense, Jiang Chenzhong." Wenren Rourou was shocked after hearing this.

"The guest house is on the other side of the garden, a little further away. I am walking with you, am I not making fun of myself?"

Jiang Chenzhong really loves money like his life, or to put it bluntly, he is greedy for money.

Wenren Rourou hurriedly explained, but she could not agree to Jiang Chenzhong's so-called compensation request. It sounded like ceding land and paying compensation, which was absolutely not possible.

"You all know whether it is true or not." After saying this, Jiang Chenzhong ignored Wenren Rourou.

Since there is no compensation, why should he waste his precious time here.

Wenren Rourou was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond to Jiang Chenzhong. Nothing she said was right.

She originally wanted to abandon these people and leave, but she was worried that her father Wen Ren Duoqing would find out about this, so she had no choice but to lead them to the guest room courtyard and settle them down.

"Of course not. Let's go quickly." Wenren Rourou stopped talking.

Anyway, in the eyes of this group of people, whatever she said or did was wrong, everything was wrong.

......

However, at this time, Uncle Jing and his guards quickly returned to the mine.

But the scene before him shocked him. The mine was in a mess and chaos due to the collapse, and the slaves were working hard to move the rubble to save the mine.

He had only been away for about an hour, but the place had already changed beyond all recognition.

"Butler Jing, you are finally back. The clan leader is waiting over there." The mine supervisor motioned Uncle Jing to enter the small tunnel that had been cleared.

Wenren Duoqing has been alone in there for a long time.

He seemed to have discovered something unusual. His face was so dark that it was frightening at first sight, and he did not restrain his own pressure.

God knows how scared the mine supervisor was just now. His heart was beating so violently that it seemed like it was going to burst through his chest.

Anyway, in his eyes, these were just a pile of ordinary rubble and there was nothing special about them.

"Clan leader, those people have not been seen since they returned to the eldest lady's yard after hunting. The surrounding guards and elders can all testify to this." Uncle Jing reported everything he had found out to the clan leader.

"Yu Wei seems to have a hidden illness. She was taking a medicinal bath and was the last one to appear in everyone's sight."

"Hidden illness?" Wen Ren Duoqing couldn't help but feel nervous, and thought of Yu Wei's face, who clearly looked full of energy.

"Let's not discuss her for now. Uncle Jing, do you think these are scratches left by some kind of spirit beast? There are such marks on these pieces of gravel."

Wenren Duoqing handed the gravel in his hand to Uncle Jing.

"Okay, clan leader." Uncle Jing took the gravel and looked at it carefully.

He stretched out his fingers and gently stroked the surface of the gravel, feeling the sharp and smooth touch of the edge.

"It is indeed the scratches of a spirit beast, but we have already checked out all the spirit beasts in the mine. Could it be a contracted spirit beast?"

Uncle Jing thought of this possibility for the first time.

"But the elders in the mine have already checked carefully and confirmed that the ten defensive formations are intact." Wenren Duoqing had also thought of the possibility of contracted beasts before.

But he quickly rejected it. Even with a powerful contracted beast, it would not be easy to break through these layers of defense formations without any damage.

If the elders find out, there's no way to escape.

The remaining possibility is that the spirit beast was originally in the mine, but they just haven't discovered it yet.

"Did this spirit beast find some treasure in the mine? If not, there would be no need for it to make the mine so messy." Uncle Jing pieced together the scattered rubble one by one.

Judging from the situation at the scene, these gravels had obviously once tightly wrapped some kind of ore, which must be some rare ore.

A spiritual beast stole the things of their Wenren family.

"Uncle Jing, in my opinion, this treasure is most likely the Earth Essence." Wenren Duoqing felt extremely regretful.

In fact, he should have discovered this matter long ago, otherwise how could there be a reduction in the production of top-grade black obsidian ore?

"Earth Essence!" Uncle Jing couldn't help but scream, then quickly covered his mouth.

This matter must not be known to the elders around, otherwise it will have an adverse effect on Wenren Duoqing. After all, there are many people in the Wenren family who covet the position of patriarch.

They will certainly hold on to this mistake and ridicule and slander Wenren Duoqing in every possible way.

There are even requests to be the acting patriarch.

"Then is there any possibility for us to get it back?" Uncle Jing knew very well the significance of Earth Essence to the Wenren family.

If it can be successfully retrieved, it means that the Wenren family's status in the Fuxing Continent will be further improved. Just imagining this scene is exciting.

Most importantly, his status and position will also rise.

"It should be very likely. This spirit beast is small in size, and it is not easy to completely absorb the earth essence." Wenren Duoqing is confident that he can recover the earth essence.

"But this mine is too large. It may be difficult to fully investigate it with the current manpower. Uncle Jing, we need to send more manpower to it. I'm afraid we will face a tough battle next."

He had already searched the nearby area carefully and did not detect any trace of the spirit beast. Where could it have run to?

"As for Yuwei's group, let's send them away tomorrow." Wenren Duoqing couldn't help feeling a little reluctant, especially towards Yuwei.

However, the earth essence is of great importance and cannot be lost.

This concerns the future and destiny of the Wenren family, and there are other families eyeing them covetously, so they cannot afford to be careless in the slightest.

"Clan leader, I understand. I will hand over the ore to Linglong Sect's Young Master Jiang Chenzhong tomorrow morning." Uncle Jing also knew what he should do.

At present, all affairs are based on safeguarding the interests of the Wenren family.

"Now let's arrange for the guards to move away all the rubble. We will begin a thorough investigation of the entire mine." Wenren Duoqing was determined to obtain the Earth Essence.

"The elders who belong to us will stay, and the other elders will be sent away temporarily with a reason. Uncle Jing, remember not to alert the enemy."

"I'll arrange it right away." Uncle Jing was thinking at this time what reason he could use to send away the elders who had ulterior motives.

As for Jiang Chenzhong of Linglong Sect, he also needs to go there in person.

These things happen one after another.
