Why was Long Zaitian targeting him? Yang Kai glanced at Hu Meier, who was full of regret and guilt, and vaguely understood the situation.
There were some things that didn't need to be asked.
Hu Meier was a smart and quick-witted woman. Although Yang Kai only glanced at her, she understood the meaning behind his look.
"Grandpa Long doesn't allow you to enter the mining area, so I can't go against his wishes. I'll go and buy those seeds for you, wait here for a moment," Hu Meier said softly.
"Alright." Yang Kai knew there was no other way. He took out all the valuable things he had and then told Hu Meier the names of the Blood Battle Gang disciples who had found the seeds. He had already found out this information from the stall owner at the Black Wind Market.
Hu Meier entered the underground mining area, and Yang Kai's eyes scanned the few houses on the ground. Just now, Long Zaitian had entered one of the houses, and he could feel that there was a pair of eyes inside watching him.
Inside the house, an old man and a young man stood by the window, looking at Yang Kai.
The old man was Long Zaitian, who had just attacked Yang Kai. The young man looked about the same age as Yang Kai and was Long Zaitian's grandson, Long Hui!
Long Hui was looking at Yang Kai with a cold expression and said somewhat discontentedly, "Grandpa, why didn't you kill him just now?"
Long Zaitian snorted, "Mei'er was protecting him, how could I kill him?"
"Then we should kill him even more. I've never seen Mei'er sister care so much about any man. This guy has a good relationship with Mei'er, keeping him around is definitely a disaster."
"Hmm, I've never seen Mei'er protect anyone like this before. This time, she even went against me for him, which is quite unusual," Long Zaitian frowned slightly.
Long Hui was filled with jealousy, "Mei'er has entered the mining area. Why don't you make another move, Grandpa?"
Long Zaitian looked at Long Hui with a hint of disappointment, "I can make a move, and killing him would be easy. But if his death makes Mei'er resent you, do you think it's worth it?"
Long Hui was taken aback and shook his head, "It's not worth it, but can we just let him develop a relationship with Mei'er? I can't stand it."
"You!" Long Zaitian couldn't help but sigh, "Learn more from your older brother. See how he deals with the women he likes. If you want Mei'er, you need to put more effort into it. I can kill people for you, but I can't win a woman's heart for you. Hu Man has no sons, only two daughters, Mei'er and Hu Jiao. If you and your older brother can capture them, the Blood Battle Gang will belong to our Long family! Our Long family has served the Blood Battle Gang for decades, it's time we tasted the flavor of being the masters!"
Long Hui was filled with enthusiasm and nodded, "It's time for our Long family to be the masters. Grandpa, don't worry, Mei'er won't escape, and my older brother will definitely capture Hu Jiao."
"Hmm, it's good that you have this ambition," Long Zaitian smiled and nodded.
Long Hui looked at Yang Kai in the distance with resentment, still somewhat restless, "Grandpa, what about this person..."
"Find your own opportunity. His strength is not high, you can handle him."
"Yes!" Long Hui smiled coldly.
He couldn't make a move now, after all, Hu Meier would come out soon. But since he is a disciple of the Lingxiao Pavilion, he won't be able to escape.
Yang Kai didn't wait long before Hu Meier came out, drenched in sweat, and handed him the four seeds with a smile, "Mission accomplished."
The Blood Battle Gang's young miss wanted to buy something, how could those disciples dare not sell?
"Thank you!" Yang Kai carefully put the four seeds in his chest.
Standing there for a while, Yang Kai finally said with a conflicted expression, "You helped me once, I'll return the favor."
Hu Meier looked at him curiously, "What do you mean?"
Yang Kai beckoned, "Follow me!"
Although Hu Meier didn't know what he was going to do, she still followed obediently.
After walking about thirty zhang, Yang Kai suddenly stopped and lightly stomped his foot, "Remember the spot where I'm standing. About seventy zhang underground, there should be something unusual."
Hu Meier's eyes widened in surprise, "How do you know?"
Yang Kai pondered, "I practice a martial skill. As long as there is yang energy within a certain range, I can sense it. There is a yang energy treasure underground, and the energy it emits is thousands of times purer than yang firestones."
When he first arrived, Yang Kai had already sensed that this place was different from others. After much consideration, he decided to share this information with Hu Meier. First, this was the Blood Battle Gang's territory, and even if he coveted it, he couldn't get it. Second, he really wanted to return a favor to Hu Meier, who had helped him today, and he had seen it all.
"Ah?" Hu Meier was startled by Yang Kai's words.
"Do you believe me?"
"Yes!" Hu Meier answered without hesitation, which made Yang Kai a little moved.
"Then that's settled." Yang Kai smiled, "Although I don't know what's down there, this thing is definitely of great value. Besides it, there seems to be something else, but I can't sense what it is. But I estimate that the secret hidden underground might be the root of the peculiarities of your Blood Battle Gang's mining area, or it might be because of their existence that there is a mineral vein here."
Hu Meier was deeply moved. If what Yang Kai said was true, the secret underground was of great importance.
"You're a smart girl, you should know what to do," Yang Kai said seriously.
"I understand," Hu Meier nodded repeatedly.
"Alright, let's go," Yang Kai said with a smile.
"Okay."
As they walked through the dense forest, Hu Meier and Yang Kai didn't speak again, just enjoying the moment of tranquility.
Hu Meier was very happy because Yang Kai had shared such important information with her, clearly indicating that his impression of her had greatly improved. Last time, he had treated her with no respect, calling her and scolding her.
But this time was different, he was much gentler to her.
"Let's part ways here," Yang Kai suddenly stopped, and Hu Meier was taken aback, only then realizing that they had already reached the crossroads. Time had passed so quickly! Hu Meier felt a bit resentful.
"Goodbye," Yang Kai said and hurriedly headed towards the Lingxiao Pavilion.
What a free-spirited man! Hu Meier couldn't help but smile bitterly.
