Now Duan Lengyan only focused on one thing — whether Wandong could really tell barren stones from valid ones. She felt tempted to figure out the accuracy of his screening techniques.


His request for a small portion of raw stones happened to be an opportunity to verify it.


If so, she would report it to the Tiezhan Empire with immediate effect, as it was of great significance.


"Childe Xu, please."


Seeing Wandong sticking to his hand-over, Qiu Yunchong eventually felt at ease and beamed radiantly. It felt as if there hadn't been any frictions between them at all.


For Wandong's part, it was the best thing he had ever achieved. He not only procured the blood steel but also obtained loads of gold from the deal. He deemed it worth it, though he nearly managed the achievement at the cost of his life.


Seeing Qiu Yunchong's heady reaction, he felt eager to see Qiu face when he realized he actually bought a large bulk of barren stones.


Holding his smirk back, he looked back at Tang Xinyi.


"Commander Tang, you see, a few hundred raw stones are way too chunky for me. Could you please bid your Fengxiang soldiers to help me with that?"


Inundated with disappointment and fury, she couldn't come to the terms of it — how come he had the impudence to ask her for help after turning a blind eye to her plea?


She responded in a grim tone.


"My apologies. I can do nothing about it."


"Commander Tang, being friends, we're supposed to help each other. How come you gave me a cold shoulder..."


"Spare me your vacuous rhetoric! We're no longer friends from now on!"


She looked so cool and aloof, reluctant to relent even for a little bit.


Wandong responded with a wry smile — it would be a terribly tough task for him to transport a few hundred raw stones back without the help of the Fengxiang Armed Escort.


The Tianbao Mansion, as a matter of fact, was supposed to take care of delivery.


But it became a nono this time, as the Tianbao guys suffered a great loss. They, as a matter of fact, already showed mercy to him — they could have smashed him into flesh paste.


Wandong shook his head and winked at his grandpa, signaling an SOS.


Xu Wenchuan cleared his throat and pleaded to Tang Xinyi on Wandong's behalf.


"Xiyin, could you please offer a hand for my sake?"


"Your royal highness, he..."


"Well, well, let's talk about it later..."


She couldn't turn away the Duke of Dingshan.


Compounded with the fact that Xu Wenchuan was a major sponsor of the Princess Baidie, she had no option but to submit.


Casting a glare at Wandong, she waved her hand and bade the Fengxiang soldiers help out.


In order to underpin Wandong, she brought along hundreds of soldiers. Now they became a great help for delivery.


Taoist energy concentrating in his eyes, numberless scarlet rays darted out of the raw stones at the same time forthwith; things in Wandong's sight became different all of a sudden.


The Fengxiang soldiers rushed at the stones he pointed at and swept them up before placing them at his feet.


In a short while, a huge bump of raw stones piled up in front of him, whose dazzling scarlet rays filled up his eyes.


In the meanwhile, Qiu Yunchong stood aside, beaming happily, appearing rather poised.


One couldn't tell whether he would still retain his composure as the truth dawned on him — Wandong, as a matter of fact, left all the barren ones to him. May his blissful ignorance hold longer.


The raw stones Wandong picked totaled six hundred.


Except for the valid one he gave Duan Lengyan as a compensation for his prank on her, the rest of the valid ones gathered around him across the board.


Wandong was rather relentless — he left no blood steel to Qiu Yunchong on the premise that the latter laid out six million kilos of gold on them.


With no intention to complicate things, Duan Lengyan bade her underlings count the rest of the raw stones; they would reach five thousand if there were a few dozens more.


While Wandong was planning to pay Qiu for the shortage, the latter waved his hand and declined his goodwill.


"Forget about it, just take it as my compensation for you! Childe Xu, please don't hold grudge against me for taking your due stones away."
