Boarding Life

Chapter 690 690

Very soon, the group from the Zhang Family swaggered off.

Zhang Quande twisted his neck, "Fourth Uncle, rest assured, once the elimination tournament starts, this premier mining vein will still belong to our Zhang Family. As for that kid surnamed Qin, we will definitely take care of him for you and avenge Fourth Brother!"

Thinking about the matter with Zhang Quande, Zhang Sihai's face turned exceedingly dour.

He spoke coldly, "You two, do you really think you can handle that kid surnamed Qin?"

Zhang Quande and Zhang Quancheng exchanged glances.

All showed wide smiles on their faces.

"Fourth Uncle, you must be joking with us? That kid is only Tier Seven True Martial; without Big Brother's intervention, even I am more than enough to deal with him." Zhang Quancheng sneered outright.

With a blank expression, Zhang Sihai spoke, "Then tell me, how confident are you that you can defeat Gu Xiaoyou or Ming Yang?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Quancheng fell silent on the spot.

As the second son of the Zhang Family, his strength was enough to be ranked in the top ten among the young generation of the entire Martial Arts District.

However, among the Tier Nine True Martial, even he doesn't dare claim to have absolute ten percent certainty in defeating Gu Xiaoyou and Ming Yang!

But on the surface, he still snorted coldly, "I may not dare say ten percent, but seventy to eighty percent is still there!"

Zhang Sihai spoke gloomily, "But that kid surnamed Qin, merely relying on his Tier Seven True Martial cultivation, consecutively defeated Gu Xiaoyou and Ming Yang. Moreover, according to the intelligence we have, this kid won rather effortlessly!"

"He remained at ease until the end. Do you still think you can beat this kid now?"

Zhang Quande reluctantly interjected from the side, "Fourth Uncle, if Second Brother can't handle it, there's still me. You wouldn't really think this kid could get past me!"

"Humph!"

Zhang Sihai furiously said, "Previously, Cai Nian couldn't deal with him even when this kid was only at Tier Two True Martial. Do you two think you're more capable than Cai Nian? This elimination tournament must be foolproof; after all, there's only one chance!"

"Alright, since we've come this far. You've been watching from the side for long enough; you can come out now!"

Zhang Quande and Zhang Quancheng looked at each other, evidently unaware that someone was nearby.

Shortly, a man cloaked in black emerged from the corner.

He chuckled, "Brother Zhang, it seems everything goes according to our plan. The kid indeed entered the elimination tournament. But before, you disagreed with me about going to great lengths because of a mere Qin Qi. Now it seems you've changed your mind!"

The man revealed himself, and it was none other than Cai Nian.

With an emotionless face, Zhang Sihai said, "I admit, I underestimated this kid. But this elimination tournament must ensure this kid's certain death!"

"You mentioned a foolproof plan; can you reveal a bit now?"

Cai Nian's smirk widened, "Simple, this elimination tournament, I will personally act!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Sihai and the others seemed stunned.

Zhang Sihai looked puzzled, "Cai Nian, you should know the rules of the elimination tournament. Only our young generation with qualifications can enter that mining vein; no one else can enter!"

"If it were that easy to infiltrate, other factions would have done it long ago; do you think you'd even have a chance?"

Cai Nian, however, remained calm and collected, "Don't worry, since I dare say this, I naturally have my assurance! Brother Zhang, didn't you notice any changes in my aura?"

Momentarily bewildered, Zhang Sihai was then shocked, "Wait, are you saying you found that silver page from the ancient book? Well, well, Cai Nian, I underestimated you."

Unhurried, Cai Nian continued, "By then, even the ghosts won't catch a whiff. Of course, if the two young masters can take down Qin Qi, that would be ideal!"

"Even if they don't succeed, I'm here..."

Zhang Sihai raised his eyebrows.

He definitely wouldn't underestimate Qin Qi, but with Cai Nian personally making a move — the sheer gap in power — he was curious to see how Qin Qi could possibly survive!

On Qin Qi's side.

Mu Ning parted her red lips, directing the company's people.

"You all can go back now, Qin Qi, you come with me!"

Yan Qingyu and Ling Feixue, although a bit resentful, had planned to spend some quality time with Qin Qi later.

However, Mu Ning took Qin Qi away directly.

Qin Qi nodded slightly and followed Mu Ning.

Soon, they took a car to her residence.

Upon arriving at her house, Qin Qi couldn't help but wonder, "President Mu, this is..."

Mu Ning sighed, "Qin Qi, you're way too impulsive. You should never have sought to contest for the premier mining vein. By then, you'll surely provoke a collective assault."

"I know you're youthful and vigorous, exceedingly confident in your prowess, but you completely underestimate the depth of the waters running through the Martial Arts District and the talents of those Five Great Clans."

Qin Qi rubbed his nose, preparing to speak.

Mu Ning waved her delicate hand, speaking earnestly, "However, you did win this slot, so I'm in no position to scold you. It's all merely because my strength, Mu Ning's, is too weak. I called you here today to give you the last of my assets!"

"If your strength can improve within this week, your chances of surviving will naturally increase!"

Upon hearing this, warmth surged in Qin Qi's heart, "President Mu, how could I accept this!"

Mu Ning smiled sweetly, "It's nothing. Originally, the plan was to give you all my assets to cultivate you, with your help to obtain a mining vein!"

"Though the process changed slightly, the plan hasn't really differed. Come, follow me upstairs!"

Qin Qi stopped exchanging pleasantries and instead asked curiously, "Where's Xianxian?"

"She's at school today and hasn't returned yet," Mu Ning gently replied.

At this point, her tone noticeably paused.

After all, now the house was left with only the two of them!

Soon, they went upstairs.

Mu Ning approached a safe.

Entering the password, as she opened the safe, she spoke, "These assets were accumulated over many years of my company operations. One portion is placed at the company, the other here at home."

Qin Qi was puzzled, "Still the materials you'd previously given?"

"That's right."

As she spoke, with a creak, the safe opened.

Qin Qi's eyes sparkled.

These materials might not significantly boost his cultivation level, but they allowed him to slightly touch the divine powers of the Golden Sun's Eye.

Previously, he'd only partially mastered it, but with another batch of such materials, there would be a complete opportunity!

Mu Ning retrieved these assets and handed them to Qin Qi, "These materials are exceptionally precious, time-sensitive, so you should refine them here at my house!"

"Alright!"

Qin Qi agreed promptly but soon pivoted, "President Mu, this isn't what you meant when you said you'd fulfill one of my requests, right?"

Mu Ning blushed slightly, whispering softly, "N-no, of course not. Do you, do you have a particular request in mind?"

Looking at Qin Qi's expression, her heartbeat picked up slightly.

She felt, with only the two of them in the room now, Qin Qi didn't harbor any good intentions!
