"Let's skip the useless stuff, get a keg of this wine... I'll take it back for Elder Master Qiao to try!"
After chatting aimlessly with Qiao Zhenfei for a long ti, a large keg of fine wine went into the stomachs of the two of them. Before parting, Qiao Zhenfei insisted on demanding it, and ended up taking a keg from Qin Fang.
Of course, Qin Fang didn't mind at all. Even if Qiao Zhenfei hadn't asked, he would have prepared it...
For this incident, Qiao Zhenfei is under imnse pressure, all from the massive family behind him. This keg of wine is just an excuse, not that Qiao Zhenfei is seeking favor for favors.
Surely, the wine Qin Fang brought back is excellent, better than Maotai and Wuliangye aged for decades. Many precious herbs were added to make it...
Drinking such wine has endless benefits, especially for senior people, it cleanses their organs, removes toxins from the body, and can even prolong life... Although it's not as potent as Spiritual dicine, for ordinary people, it's already very good.
Taking this wine back won't necessarily appease Elder Master Qiao's anger, but it could at least provide so explanation... This way, the punishnt for Qiao Zhenfei might be lighter, and he can use the wine to nurture Elder Master Qiao's health, balancing ritorious deeds against faults.
"You won't lack this wine, I'll have soone send it to you later..."
Qin Fang wouldn't mind this little bit of wine anyway. It's relatively easy to obtain, intended to be given away, and not much less for Elder Master Qiao's share.
Qiao Zhenfei staggered away, but Qin Fang settled down to ponder so matters.
Just now, chatting with Qiao Zhenfei, he got to know so secrets that he wasn't very clear about before, regarding the purpose of the Six Major Chinese Clans coming to Jiangzhou...
Anyhow, Qiao Zhenfei already knows he's at odds with those people, coupled with the alcohol, he had no mood to keep their secrets, so he disclosed what he knew to Qin Fang.
Although even he doesn't know whether what he knows is Chen Lin and others' true intentions or if they are just being mysterious... But for Qin Fang, it's better than being clueless with no leads.
"River Heart Island..."
Qin Fang murmured this place's na, thinking quickly in his mind...
According to Qiao Zhenfei, Chen Lin and others from the Six Major Chinese Clans ca claiming to invest here and establish a very large industrial base... But due to high local land prices in Jiangzhou and lack of suitable areas, they are interested in River Heart Island.
River Heart Island, also within Jiangzhou's scope, is isolated at the Yangtze River's estuary, not very small, but sparsely populated... Although it's been developing over the years, compared to Jiangzhou Urban Area, it still lags significantly.
If such a large area could be developed, it would be a major developnt opportunity for Jiangzhou...
Perhaps for this reason, even many high-level elders support the actions of these Six Major Families...
However, since this matter is still in the intention phase, Qiao Zhenfei, representing the Qiao Family and the high-levels, received Chen Lin and others, facilitating so preliminary reconnaissance for them to make a quick decision.
Due to this, even Wu Ling isn't very inford... After all, he just took office not long ago, overwheld by various tasks, not paying much attention to these matters, thus not very clear.
But as Qiao Zhenfei disclosed this to Qin Fang, it indeed made Qin Fang pay so attention.
River Heart Island is fairly isolated, if it's to be developed, it is very advantageous...
However, Chen Lin and others have been in Jiangzhou for so ti and sent many people to River Heart Island for reconnaissance, seemingly legitimate, but Qiao Zhenfei always felt they had other motives... Especially, even their reconnaissance deliberately isolated Qiao Zhenfei, appearing more secretive.
"Could it be that River Heart Island has so untellable secrets?"
Qin Fang couldn't help but think so.
The Six Major Families people absolutely wouldn't recklessly conduct investigations on such a remote island, and this sneaky investigation seed to fear being discovered... The more it is, the more it proves that there's likely sothing shady there.
"No, I need to send soone to check it out..."
Although River Heart Island might not be Chen Lin and others' real target, currently with no more clues, Qin Fang still thought it's better to send soone to investigate...
Thus, soon Chen Da arranged personnel to head to River Heart Island, the goal was to monitor the so-called "investigation team" sent by the Six Major Chinese Clans, to see what they were doing or seeking.
This affair doesn't require Qin Fang's personal involvent, Chen Da and the team can handle it... They're all special forces origin, now masters of Earth Nin level, their specialty is reconnaissance and intelligence.
Such professional matters should be left to professionals... Qin Fang might be stronger in various skills, but in such specialized work, he might not be as good as them.
Fortunately, Qin Fang wasn't bothered by this either.
Qin Fang has quite a few acquaintances in Jiangzhou. Besides those he has already t, there's soone he must see, and that is his brother-in-law, Tang Cheng.
Tang Cheng now permanently resides in the Jiangzhou Garrison District, responsible for overseeing the Special Operations Brigade's work, holding command over an elite special forces brigade... As for himself, he's becoming increasingly formidable, which even Qin Fang found surprising when they t.
"Brother Tang, did you... take so pills?"
Feeling the True Qi emanating from Tang Cheng, even soone as impressive as Qin Fang couldn't help but say this.
"You're the one who's taken pills!"
Tang Cheng gave Qin Fang a disdainful look, "Besides, even if I wanted to take so, I'd need to have them, right? I hear you have quite a stash of Elixirs and Miraculous dicines, how about sparing half a pound for your elder brother?"
"I~~ hey! Half a pound... aren't you afraid of bursting a blood vessel!"
Qin Fang was quite familiar with Tang Cheng, so their conversation was quite casual, and exchanging so playful insults was no big deal.
"I'm in great shape, don't ntion half a pound, ten pounds wouldn't even make blink..."
Tang Cheng retorted defiantly.
Of course, they were just saying such things to amuse themselves; neither of them took it seriously.
"Brother Tang, advancing too quickly might not be a good thing; it's crucial to solidify your foundation, otherwise..."
Having finished their playful talk, Qin Fang couldn't help but express his concern, particularly because the last ti he saw Tang Cheng, he had just stepped into the Grandmaster Level, barely getting started. But unexpectedly, now he was nearly at the Master Level Peak.
That speed was not much inferior to Qin Fang, who had the benefit of special circumstances; it was truly extraordinary.
Qin Fang himself had a unique body that could withstand such rapid advancent, but for Tang Cheng, who was just beginning to learn, this speed was indeed too fast, which is why Qin Fang was worried. If sothing really happened to Tang Cheng, he wouldn't know how to explain it to Tang Feifei...
"Don't worry, I have it under control... Actually, I don't quite understand what's going on myself. I've deliberately been suppressing my advancent speed, but it's still overwhelmingly fast!"
Tang Cheng nodded solemnly but explained to Qin Fang helplessly.
"Oh, this really happened?"
Hearing Tang Cheng's explanation, Qin Fang was montarily stunned, imdiately grasping Tang Cheng's wrist to take his pulse carefully.
"Hiss~~~"
Checking the pulse was truly surprising, and it made Qin Fang jump in fright, his complexion changed instantly, and his breathing beca much more rapid.
"Brother Tang, tell the truth, in the ti I was away, did you encounter any particularly special person or consu any special dicine? It's very important to be honest..."
Releasing Tang Cheng's hand, Qin Fang spoke to him with an extrely serious and earnest expression.
"How did you know?"
Hearing Qin Fang's words, Tang Cheng was also stunned and instinctively exclaid, clearly curious about how Qin Fang knew these secrets.
"Is there anything wrong?"
However, seeing the look on Qin Fang's face, Tang Cheng vaguely felt sothing amiss and hurriedly inquired.
"Brother Tang, explain the situation to first, maybe things haven't reached a point of no return... You can't hide anything, otherwise... I'm not exaggerating, if it cos to that, even I won't be able to save you!"
Qin Fang didn't speak directly but asked very seriously.
But seeing that Tang Cheng indeed appeared quite worried, Qin Fang decided not to hide things anymore.
"Is it that serious?"
Tang Cheng was no longer calm; he knew Qin Fang wasn't joking, so he dared not conceal anything, "About five months ago, just shortly after I stepped into the Grandmaster Level, I encountered a reclusive master..."
The situation was generally like this; because Tang Cheng had started halfway through, he didn't have a good cultivation technique for Inner Strength. By chance, he encountered this reclusive master, who saw Tang Cheng's aimless training and decided to casually pass him a cultivation technique.
Initially, Tang Cheng wanted to beco his disciple, but that reclusive master refused, only leaving behind the words "see you when fate allows," before departing gracefully...
Very few people knew about this matter, and Tang Cheng promised that reclusive master that he would not tell a third person... which is why he was hesitant and unwilling to tell Qin Fang the truth.
Only after Qin Fang pointed out the seriousness of the situation did he have no choice but to break his promise and tell Qin Fang the whole truth... (To be continued.
