After this incident, everyone knew: this Master Zi has a terrible temper! Moreover, he is very hard to serve!
One wrong word, and you could be severely reprimanded on the spot! This Master Zi never cares who is in front of him… Didn’t even the patriarch’s second brother, Second Master Li of the Li family, get scolded like a son?
Whether they were convinced or not, at least on the surface, everyone behaved a bit more obediently.
Chu Yang's reckless attitude had a good effect.
And this effect would surely continue… until Chu Yang accomplished his purpose and left; this effect would be evident throughout the entire process…
"Move faster! Slowing down like this, where is the look of someone doing important business!" Chu Yang urged impatiently.
Li Wuhai was so angry he could bite his teeth in half and directly flew up; you want to be fast? I’ll just pull you along without a shadow!
Unexpectedly, this earned him praise from Master Zi: "This speed is quite decent."
Moreover, this Master Zi surprisingly kept pace without lagging behind…
Finally, they arrived at the Amethyst Mine!
Chu Yang couldn’t help but gasp in surprise.
This was a great mountain; to be precise, it was the foot of the mountain where the Li family congregated! It was entirely surrounded by the Li family’s buildings…
And the mining area was even more barren, with no trees for hundreds of miles; you could see all the way to the end at a glance. Additionally, there were high walls over ten meters tall blocking the view!
On the walls, every thirty meters, there was a watchtower, closely monitoring everything inside. Don’t even mention people; not a single fly could enter.
At the foot of the mountain, a large entrance was opened, large enough to accommodate twenty horse-drawn carriages side by side. Countless people were coming and going, and every person who came out was carrying a basket filled to the brim with Amethyst!
After the administrator verified the quantity, it was recorded, and then they went back inside.
Next to it was another cave. It was obviously a storage room. Even more enormous!
The surrounding area was heavily guarded, with more than a dozen supreme-level guards stationed! That was just what was visible. Who knows how many were hidden?
After all, this place is the true lifeline of the Li family!
Watching those gleaming purple treasures being carried out and placed into the massive warehouse… Chu Yang once again felt like a complete pauper!
This is what true wealth looks like!
By rough estimates, if this warehouse were filled, it could easily hold tens of billions worth of treasure!
Several people had been waiting at the cave entrance; it was the current patriarch of the Li family, Li Wubo. Upon seeing Chu Yang arrive, a few of them stepped forward to greet him.
"Master Zi, this is my elder brother!" Li Wuhai snorted. He reminded, "My elder brother is the current patriarch of the Li family!"
Chu Yang’s eyes lit up, and he enthusiastically approached. Grabbing Li Wubo's hand, he said, “Ah, Patriarch Li. Hehe… I’ve heard your name for a long time; meeting you today is truly a stroke of luck! Patriarch Li, you indeed live up to your reputation; seeing you in person is even more impressive! You truly are majestic and a true dominion! Meeting you today, I finally understand why the Li family ranks among the nine great sovereign families of the Nine Heavens… Truly impressive, truly impressive.”
Li Wubo’s face froze.
Even with a thick skin, he was left dizzy from such an extravagant flattery.
Li Wuhai beside him was equally astonished: so this guy only puts on airs based on the person! When he met me, he acted all high and mighty, but now he’s so enthusiastic he’s unbearable…
“Master Zi is too polite,” Li Wubo said with a smile, “From now on, we are family; Master Zi should feel free.”
“Of course, of course,” Chu Yang nodded repeatedly, “I wonder if there’s something wrong with the Amethyst Mine?” He pointed to those who were carrying basket after basket of Amethyst, “Isn’t there an abundance of resources here? It looks like the mining is going smoothly.”
