Chapter 532
Liu Xunjiang said as a matter of course: "They just want to come in and recuperate for a few days. What's wrong with inviting them in? It's just eating some food. If we drive them away without any sense of loyalty, what will the Song family disciples in the sect think if they know we treated their family members like this?"
Xu Yang shook his head: "I don't agree with this. Whether they are people from the Song family remains to be verified."
Liu Xunjiang smiled: "No matter. I have seen several of the Song family young masters. I will know as soon as I see them. If they are impostors, naturally I won't let them in."
Sure enough, there was a friendship!
"I still don't agree with letting outsiders in. Of course, if you insist, you are the manager and you have the final say. But if you let them in, I won't care about the safety. If they bring any trouble or if something happens, you will be responsible.
Also, they must be searched before they can leave. Everything must be done according to the mine's rules," Xu Yang said.
Liu Xunjiang had the final say on the mine's affairs, but he also had the right to supervise.
Letting people in was fine, but they had to be searched when leaving to ensure they didn't secretly take things away.
"Naturally!"
Liu Xunjiang smiled somewhat reluctantly and soon left with Zhou Jiang.
Xu Yang couldn't be bothered to care about him. Anyway, the pros and cons had been stated, and the responsibility had been pushed away cleanly. If something happened, he wouldn't need to be responsible.
He had just practiced the Mountain-Shaking Xiong Quan once and had new insights, so he simply continued to practice.
The Mountain-Shaking Xiong Quan was only a Qi Gathering fist technique, and like the Turtle-Snake Great Stance, it was only the most basic cultivation method. After refining Qi into Gang, he had already abandoned it.
Practicing it again wasn't because he felt the power of this cultivation method was underestimated, but because he felt this technique was a part of the Mountain-Bearing Bear Scripture and could be integrated into it, which could further enhance the Mountain-Bearing Bear Scripture.
Soon, he saw Liu Xunjiang bringing three people walking in from outside the mine.
The person in the lead wore a brocade robe, a cloud-patterned jade-inlaid belt around his waist, and had fine skin and tender flesh; he indeed looked like a wealthy young master.
However, this person's state was clearly wrong; his aura was floating, his face was bloodless, and he should have been injured.
The two middle-aged men behind him, who looked like guards, were in a disheveled state, with bloodstains and palm marks on their bodies; they were also injured.
Liu Xunjiang nodded and bowed all the way, leading the three to his own courtyard.
"Recuperate? I'm afraid they are here to take refuge."
Xu Yang glanced across the courtyard, didn't care, and continued to practice the Mountain-Shaking Xiong Quan.
"Senior Brother Xu, you were right not to let them in. That Song Wenxuan told Manager Liu that they were being hunted by experts and ran here to take refuge.
Now that Manager Liu has let them into the mine, I'm afraid we will be implicated."
In the evening, Zhou Jiang changed shifts and ran here to tell Xu Yang what he knew.
Sure enough, it was trouble!
Xu Yang frowned slightly. Anyone who dared to hunt down a Song family young master was definitely not a kind person.
"Tell everyone to be vigilant. If you encounter people with unknown identities, don't act rashly. If the other party finds their way here, as long as they don't act against us, we won't care," Xu Yang said.
He had no friendship with the Song family, so naturally, he wouldn't stand up for Song Wenxuan.
He was just giving Zhou Jiang a heads-up. If Zhou Jiang and the others wanted to curry favor with the Song family, he couldn't help it.
"I understand!" Zhou Jiang nodded.
"By the way, do you know who is hunting them? Why are they hunting them?" Xu Yang said.
Although he didn't intend to intervene, since they had already entered the mine, if the other party came looking for them and wanted to kill them all, it was always right to understand the situation first.
Zhou Jiang said: "It seems to be for a spiritual herb. Song Wenxuan and two Song family experts seem to have snatched a spiritual herb from the hands of the Four Evils of Wushan, and are being hunted by them."
Xu Yang's gaze narrowed. Although he hadn't roamed the Yunling Mountain Range, Sun Tao and the others had entered it many times to search for treasures, and he had heard of some of the fierce people within the Yunling Mountain Range.
These Four Evils of Wushan were a group of very famous fierce bandits in the Yunling Mountain Range, often engaging in murder and robbery.
Song Wenxuan had snatched something from the Four Evils of Wushan, so the Four Evils of Wushan would probably not let it go. Trying to use the Profound Heaven Sect's signboard to avoid disaster was probably wishful thinking.
The Four Evils of Wushan had already robbed and killed many Profound Heaven Sect disciples and were not afraid of the Profound Heaven Sect at all.
The Yunling Mountain Range was vast and boundless. No matter how big the Profound Heaven Sect's power was, once people hid in the mountains, the Profound Heaven Sect would have no way to deal with them.
"Is Liu Xunjiang bringing disaster to the mine, or does he think I will take action?"
The Four Evils of Wushan had run rampant in the Yunling Mountain Range for many years. It was said that the eldest, Li Haoran, had already reached the Marrow Cleansing Major Success realm many years ago, and the second, Xie Chengyou, was also suspected to be at the Marrow Cleansing Major Success realm.
For many years, he had only heard of the Four Evils of Wushan robbing others; he had never heard of anyone robbing them.
He didn't know how Song Wenxuan and the others had snatched a spiritual herb from the Four Evils of Wushan, but once the Four Evils of Wushan found this place, a great battle would be inevitable, even if this was the Profound Heaven Sect's territory.
"Why don't you, Senior Brother Xu, come forward and tell Manager Liu to drive the Song family people away?" Zhou Jiang said.
Xu Yang looked at him indifferently.
If he came forward to tell Liu Xunjiang to drive the Song family people away, everyone's trouble would be gone, but he would offend the Song family.
In this kind of matter, he could only wait and see, rather than rushing to make enemies for himself.
Meeting Xu Yang's gaze, Zhou Jiang also knew he had spoken out of turn. Xu Yang naturally couldn't offend the Song family for their sake.
Anyway, with Xu Yang's cultivation, even if the Four Evils of Wushan came, he wouldn't be too afraid; he still had the power to protect himself.
"The Four Evils of Wushan are indeed fierce bandits who have run rampant in the Yunling Mountain Range for many years. Their Profound Yin Gang Qi is really difficult to deal with."
Song Wenxuan pushed the door open and walked out. The blood color on his face had recovered a lot. After an afternoon of healing, his injuries had improved a lot.
