Ji Tianxing had been in retreat for the past eight days, and no one came to disturb him.
Now that Qi Huanzhi has sent his bodyguard to look for him and say that he has something urgent to discuss, something must have happened.
So Ji Tianxing took Bailong out of the secret room.
The guard couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw someone else beside him.
But the guard was very smart and quickly looked away, pretending not to see anything, bowed and left.
Ji Tianxing and Bai Long strode to the study room.
The study was very quiet, except for Qi Huan.
When Ji Tianxing and Bai Long entered the study, he was standing in front of the window in a daze, his face a little solemn.
"Return, what happened?"
As soon as Ji Tianxing entered the door, he asked directly.
Qi Huanzhi immediately came back to his senses, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Brother Tianxing, you are finally released..."
Halfway through his words, his eyes fell on Bai Long and he looked at it carefully.
Bailong, like Ji Tianxing, wore a spotless white robe.
However, he is a little thinner, pale and lifeless, handsome and enchanting, and has waist-length silver hair.
"Brother Tianxing, who is this young master?"
Without waiting for Ji Tianxing's answer, Bai Long took a step forward, smiled and said, "I'm Bai Long. I'm Master's disciple. I've met Mr. Qi."
Although Bailong saluted and said hello normally.
But his personal style is too outstanding, he is cynical and careless.
Not only did Qi Huanzhi not dislike him, but he actually felt a bit like him. He smiled and said, "Brother Tianxing is a genius who defies heaven and is the lucky star of our Qi family.
I didn’t expect that even your disciples are like dragons and phoenixes among people, so unrestrained and unruly..."
Bai Long said with a smile: "Young Master Qi is too modest. You are also like a tree standing in the wind. You are generous and generous, heroic and heroic, and your eyes are as bright as a torch. Bai Long really admires you."
Qi Huanzhi's eyes lit up, he nodded repeatedly and said: "Brother Bailong, from now on we will be our own people. I will keep you at ease here in Qi Mansion and Qingshan City."
The two hit it off immediately, cherished each other, and were about to become sworn brothers.
Seeing this, Ji Tianxing pretended to cough twice and interrupted them.
"Ahem... let's talk about business first."
Only then did Qi Huanzhi come back to his senses, smiled slightly awkwardly, and said: "Yes, let's talk about business first.
Here's the thing.
Four days ago, my father completed the handover with the City Lord's Mansion, and all the people in the City Lord's Mansion evacuated Xuanguang Cave.
My father took over Xuanguang Cave with a large number of craftsmen, guards and miners.
But the day before yesterday, news came from Tianfeng County saying that a group of our Qi family's pet beasts had died on a large scale.
The two major forces there were very angry and insisted on asking my father to deal with this matter.
The other party's background is not small, and our family cannot offend him easily.
Moreover, if this matter is not handled well, it will also affect my family's reputation and business.
My father really had no choice but to rush to Tianfeng County in person.
Before leaving, he handed Xuanguang Cave into my hands and asked me to take strict care of it.
However, yesterday, when the craftsmen and a group of miners were mining a vein in the cave, an accident occurred.
I don’t know what happened, but the mine exploded, killing more than a dozen craftsmen and more than 300 miners on the spot...
The ore vein also collapsed, causing people in Xuanguang Cave to panic, and the miners were unable to mine normally."
Qi Huanzhi briefly introduced what happened.
After finishing speaking, he looked at Ji Tianxing and said: "Brother Tianxing, I have been investigating for a long time and still can't find out what happened. I can only ask you for help."
Ji Tianxing nodded slightly and said in a low tone: "The City Lord's Mansion has occupied Xuanguang Cave for seventy years and has long regarded that mine as its own golden nest.
They lost this competition and ostensibly handed over the Xuanguang Cave as agreed.
But in fact, they must hate the Qi family to death.
On the surface, I will not retaliate against you, but secretly I will do something to prevent the Qi family from successfully taking over Xuanguang Cave."
Qi Huanzhi nodded quickly and said: "Yes! I think so too, but I can't find out the reason."
Ji Tianxing then asked: "Do the two forces in Tianfeng County have anything to do with the City Lord's Mansion? What is their relationship with the Blood Sword Sect?"
Qi Huanzhi frowned and said with some uncertainty: "I'm not very clear about this, it shouldn't matter, right?
Brother Tianxing, what do you mean..."
Bai Long patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Master Qi, it seems that the City Lord's Mansion is not the only one who wants to deal with the power of the Qi family.
As soon as your father took over Xuanguangdong, the business in Tianfeng County ran into problems.
Moreover, those two forces insisted that your father must handle it personally.
This is obviously a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
Qi Huanzhi's expression suddenly changed, and he nodded in agreement: "Yes! I have thought of this before, but I am not sure.
After your analysis, I think it is 80% possible!
The two forces in Tianfeng County may not be able to control them with the power of the city lord's palace.
But the Blood Sword Sect is more powerful and may very well instigate those two factions to secretly murder our Qi family.
After all, the Blood Sword Sect wants to get a share of the pie and occupy 70% of Xuanguang Cave's output.
They came with full confidence, were frustrated by our Qi family, but reached cooperation with the Lu family.
In the end, Mu Ye was beaten to death by the Tianxing brothers, and the Blood Sword Sect's plan failed.
With the way the Blood Sword Sect behaves, they will definitely take revenge."
Thinking of this, Qi Huanzhi was filled with resentment and some worry.
"Brother Tianxing, the Blood Sword Sect is one of the top sects in the country and is very powerful.
Now, they have attacked the Qi family, what should we do?"
Ji Tianxing calmly reassured him: "Don't panic, no matter how powerful the Blood Sword Sect is, they can't blatantly violate the laws of the empire and directly destroy the Qi family, right?"
"That's true." Qi Huanzhi nodded repeatedly and said through gritted teeth: "Now is the age of peace and prosperity. If the Blood Sword Sect openly destroys wealthy families, it will be sanctioned by the Kingdom of God."
Ji Tianxing smiled and said, "Then what else do you have to worry about?
The Blood Sword Sect is very powerful, but they cannot openly attack the Qi family, they can only use conspiracy and tricks.
As long as we don't mess around, act steadily, and solve the problem step by step, we can stop their offensive.
If you do as I say, there will be no problem..."
Therefore, Ji Tianxing asked Qi Zhi to do a few things and made some arrangements.
Qi Huanzhi nodded repeatedly after hearing this, his eyes regained brilliance and he regained his confidence.
Then, Ji Tianxing stood up and walked out, "Okay, please pass on the order first.
The top priority is that we need to go to Xuanguang Cave first to resolve the issue of the mineral vein."
Qi Huanzhi responded and summoned the guards to convey the order.
Then, the three of them stepped out of the study together.
After leaving Qi Mansion, they rode three white-winged Pegasus horses towards the sunset sea area in the north.
