Chapter 181: The Exchange Fair and the Grand Gesture

"Shi Ping, why does my lord need so many things?"

On the south side of the valley, at the temporary supply depot, Qiu Peng asked Shi Ping, who was beside him, out of curiosity while sorting out the items.

Ten thousand jin of iron ore, three longswords, and a set of ten-stone iron-womb bows—for the current Great Xia, these certainly didn't amount to much.

Not to mention the iron ore; the camp now produced at least over three hundred thousand jin every month. The weapons were even more exaggerated; last time, they had hauled back over four thousand seven hundred items from the Jingxian camp, including broadswords, axes, halberds, and swords—almost everything one could need. Naturally, there was no shortage of longbows either. It was estimated that the camp wouldn't need to forge any for a very long time.

But even if there was plenty, it was rare for an individual to want to exchange for so much at once.

These supplies, when added together, were not cheap.

"Iron ore is 1 point per 10 jin, a longsword is 300 points, and a ten-stone iron-womb bow is 600 points. This batch of supplies adds up to 2,500 contribution points!"

Seeing the exaggerated expression on Shi Ping's face upon hearing the price, Qiu Peng couldn't help but tease:

"What, think it's expensive? This is even after the recent price adjustment for supplies. If it were before, I doubt there would be more than a few people in the entire camp who could afford to take out so many contribution points."

Shi Ping nodded upon hearing this. He had previously worked at the Camp Supply Office, so he was naturally clear about how exaggerated the fluctuations in supply prices had been.

Great Xia's recent restructuring didn't just involve the six departments of the camp; many other aspects, including the prices of supplies at the Camp Supply Office, had also undergone significant changes.

The reason was simple: firstly, too many supplies had been seized from the Jingxian camp, and secondly, the camp's strength had changed, so the corresponding rules naturally had to change as well.

First of all, strategic materials like iron could only be exchanged by those in the Earth-Digging Realm, and there was a cap on individual exchanges. In the entire camp, everyone except Xia Hong—including Xia Chuan—was subject to strict restrictions.

Secondly, there was the price. Previously, when iron ore was in short supply, the handover rate was 10 jin for 1 point, while the exchange rate was 10 points for 1 jin. It seemed extremely harsh, but in reality, it was meant to discourage, or even prevent, individual exchanges.

The reason everyone had no objections before was that although the price of iron ore was ridiculously high, the prices of various iron products were relatively reasonable.

Now that mining capacity had soared, the treasury was well-stocked, and there were no urgent needs other than the wooden buildings, the prices of iron ore and weapons had naturally undergone a major adjustment.

"My lord wants to give this batch of supplies to the Xiaohe camp. Just deduct these 2,500 contribution points from my account!"

Hearing Shi Ping's words, Qiu Peng immediately wore an expression of sudden realization. He gave him a thumbs-up and said with a smile: "So that's it. You're going all out, aren't you? It seems you are determined to secure the position of Director of the Land Reclamation Department!"

Although Qiu Peng currently held the position of Director of the Camp Supply Department, he himself possessed the cultivation of the Earth-Digging Realm, so he also had to join the Hunting Department.

And as it happened, he and Shi Ping had both just joined Xia Chuan's Cloud Dragon Squad.

Xia Chuan hadn't kept the matter of the Xiaohe camp a secret, so he knew about it too.

Xia Chuan sending supplies to the Xiaohe camp was clearly to recruit people, and these population numbers would definitely be credited to Shi Ping in the end.

"I have to go for it. My lord has brought so many of you to help me; if I don't become this Director, it would be too disappointing for him."

2,500 contribution points were indeed a huge sum for Shi Ping.

He only had a total of a little over 4,000 contribution points now, so losing more than half in one go naturally made his heart ache.

Because he had previously worked in the Camp Supply Office, Shi Ping had a certain understanding of the contribution point balances of everyone in the camp.

The wealthiest in Great Xia currently were the first batch of fifteen hunting team members. Because they had spent a period of time following Xia Hong out to hunt intermediate cold beasts like madmen, they had more contribution points than they could basically spend.

Next were those in Shi Ping's own batch—the fifty-plus people who had broken through to the Earth-Digging Realm later. Most of them had between two and three thousand contribution points, earned during the cold beast tide and the subsequent battle at the Jingxian camp.

Shi Ping's points were only similar to others because he had performed exceptionally well in both events and had been credited for his cooperation with Xia Chuan in extinguishing and starting fires during the cold beast tide, earning him some special rewards.

"I'm going to notify the others. You should prepare too; my lord is about to set off for the North Bank, and we will follow him tonight."

Qiu Peng nodded upon hearing this, and remembering something, he asked: "By the way, Director Yu Wen Tao just took a lot of people out. Was it to find Hong Guang?"

The Hunting Department took roll call every night, and they all knew that the seven-man Xuanwu Squad led by Hong Guang hadn't returned all night.

Shi Ping nodded and said: "My lord just summoned Director Yu Wen Tao and Meng Yi to ask about the situation in detail. Hong Guang likely went to find that Three Tigers camp. It's highly probable that something went wrong. Director Yu Wen Tao is worried about their safety and went to the North Bank to find them first."

Qiu Peng shook his head and said in a deep voice: "This Hong Guang is a bit impulsive. The two groups he brought back earlier were already problematic, and now he's gone directly to that Three Tigers camp. I'm afraid he won't have a good time."

Shi Ping didn't speak, but a look of agreement appeared on his face.

From the information gathered so far, the people at the Three Tigers camp were clearly not good news. For Hong Guang to make no preparations and rashly show up to talk about annexing them—the outcome certainly wouldn't be good.

"Director Yu Wen Tao is very strong, so he shouldn't have any problems. I hope Hong Guang and the seven of them are alright. No more talk, let's prepare, we're leaving soon."

Seeing Shi Ping leave with the items, Qiu Peng also began to pack his things and prepare.

………………

Xiaohe camp, inside the mountain cave.

In the outer storage area, Xiao Ning was leading a group of people to load the coal stones on the ground into animal hide bags. There were already eight bags filled, occupying almost half of the total amount of coal stones on the ground.

"Big Sister, forty thousand jin is already enough, isn't it?"

"My hands are so sore, how many more bags do we need to fill?"

Xiao Heng put a coal stone into a bag, rubbed his sore arms, and couldn't help but look up at Xiao Ning to ask.

Slap……

Before Xiao Ning could speak, the second sister, Xiao Yu, patted his head and scolded: "If you're working, then work properly. Where do all these questions come from? I haven't seen you fill many bags, but you're full of complaints!"

"Second Sister, have mercy, I'll keep picking, I'll keep picking."

Xiao Heng gave a sheepish smile and lowered his head to pick up coal stones again.

The group of people nearby couldn't help but let out a few low laughs at the sight.

Xiao Ning couldn't help but smile at this scene.

The third brother, Xiao Heng, was used to being pampered at home and was usually fearless, but he was like a mouse seeing a cat whenever he saw the second sister, Xiao Yu. This could be considered a case of one thing subduing another.

However, looking around, she noticed that the people picking coal stones were indeed showing signs of severe fatigue, so she said: "Just two more bags will do. Stop for now and rest for a while!"

The group's expressions relaxed significantly, and after putting down the coal stones in their hands, they all sat down on the spot to rest.

"Big Sister, we need to prepare fifty thousand jin of coal stones this time? That much?"

After stopping, Xiao Yu walked directly to Xiao Ning's side and asked.

Xiao Ning nodded and said: "It's the last exchange fair before the cold wave. Chen fruit, animal hides, bowstrings, medicine for external injuries, and most importantly, iron ore—there are many things to exchange for this time, which is why we're preparing so much coal."

Xiao Yu's face immediately showed a look of worry upon hearing this.

Living in the Five Ape Mountains, this was the inconvenient part: every year, there was a cold wave period that lasted for two months.

This cold wave was caused by the glacial river to the south.

That river was clearly covered in such thick, solid ice, yet strangely, every ten months, there would still be a flood season.

Once the flood season arrived, the solid ice on the river surface would continuously rise and spread toward the North Bank, causing the temperature in the Five Ape Mountains area to plummet crazily.

The entire process would last for two months, and this period was collectively referred to as the cold wave period by all the camps near the Five Ape Mountains.

During the cold wave, except for those in the Earth-Digging Realm who could still go out, those in the Woodcutting Realm and ordinary people could only hide in the mountain caves of their settlements, otherwise, they simply wouldn't survive.

The problem was that during the cold wave, due to the drop in temperature, the vegetation on the North Bank would also freeze, and the cold beasts would run away, so even if those in the Earth-Digging Realm went out, the resources they could collect were extremely limited and simply insufficient to support the entire camp.

As a result, the last exchange fair before the cold wave period was extremely important. All camps would treat it seriously in order to exchange for enough supplies to successfully survive the cold wave period.

Xiao Yu also knew a little about the exchange fair. Looking at the eight bags of coal stones already filled on the ground, she couldn't help but shake her head and say: "It's a pity our Xiaohe camp doesn't have iron ore. I heard Father say that at the exchange fair, it takes 20 to 25 jin of coal to exchange for 1 jin of iron ore. Even if all fifty thousand jin of coal were used to exchange for iron, we could only get a little over two thousand jin. We're at too much of a loss."

Xiao Ning gave a bitter smile upon hearing this, shook her head, and said: "There's no other way. Coal has substitutes, but iron doesn't. In the Five Ape Mountains area, besides the Three Tigers camp, only two other families have iron ore, so the price is naturally determined by them."

The threshold for mining coal and iron was actually the same, but the scarcity of the two was completely different. Xiao Ning hadn't finished her sentence: not only did coal have substitutes, but its underground reserves were also clearly much higher than iron.

For a medium-sized camp, finding a coal mine wasn't actually difficult; as long as one found the kind of tree with a golden sheen on the surface, one could just dig down along the roots.

But iron ore was much harder to find.

Among the eleven medium-sized camps in the Five Ape Mountains, almost every family had a coal mine, but only two had iron ore. This data alone was enough to explain the scarcity of iron ore.

20 jin of coal for 1 jin of iron—who didn't know it was a loss? But they had no choice.

If they didn't buy from those two families at the exchange fair, were they supposed to go to the Three Tigers camp?

That was impossible!

After all, those two camps only wanted your coal and would go through normal trading channels, but the Three Tigers camp wanted your life. Which was lighter and which was heavier—normal people could naturally tell.

Xiao Ning pondered for a moment and said with a hint of regret: "Last time, Father was still too impatient. The Great Xia camp likely has iron ore too. If we had kept Brother Xia Chuan and talked properly, perhaps we could have used him to exchange for a batch of iron ore from the Great Xia camp at a low price."

Xiao Heng nearby immediately perked up and nodded: "That's right, Big Sister. The long blade hanging at Brother Xia Chuan's waist—even the scabbard is made of iron. Their Great Xia camp must have plenty of iron ore, the kind they can't even finish using."

Xiao Yu, however, was a bit unconvinced and retorted: "Big Sister, you're being too optimistic. That Xia Chuan might just be a big liar, like Uncle Yuan and the others guessed—just like the Three Tigers camp, he's here to scam us."

Xiao Ning lowered her head to ponder for a moment upon hearing this and didn't say anything.

That was true; Xia Chuan was, after all, a chance acquaintance. Even if her intuition told her he wasn't the same kind of person as the Three Tigers camp, she couldn't produce any substantive evidence to prove he was a good person. As for trying to exchange for iron ore from the Great Xia camp at a low price, that was just talk and couldn't be taken seriously.

"Strangers are approaching, everyone come back quickly!"

Suddenly, a sharp shout rang out from outside the cave. Xiao Ning and the others, who were resting, had their expressions change instantly, and they sprang up from the ground.

"Heng'er and the others go inside, Yu'er, come out with me to take a look!"

Xiao Ning quickly picked up her bow and arrows, called out to the group, and ran directly toward the outside of the cave.

Xiao Heng and the others who were working, despite their worried expressions, quickly ran toward the inside of the mountain cave.

Unlike Xiao Ning and Xiao Yu, they only had cultivation in the Woodcutting Realm, so they wouldn't be of any help outside the cave and would instead become a burden.

The sisters had just rushed out of the mountain cave when they discovered that their father, Xiao Kangcheng, was already guarding the cave entrance fully armed with twenty-one Earth-Digging Realm members of the camp.

"Father, what's going on?"

Xiao Kangcheng's expression was solemn, and he didn't speak. Instead, a middle-aged man nearby looked back at Xiao Ning and said: "I was on patrol on the perimeter tonight. I just discovered a few people sneaking around nearby. They seemed to know the location of our cave and were getting closer and closer. I felt something was wrong, so I came back to report to the leader first."

Hearing this, Xiao Ning's expression also became heavy.

Having the location of their settlement discovered was not a good thing.

Especially recently, during the cold wave period, it was said that the Three Tigers camp was short of population and was looking everywhere to annex other camps. If they were discovered, a fierce battle would be inevitable.

"Look over there!"

Someone suddenly called out. Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, and their expressions sank at the sight.

In the dense forest south of the mountain cave, three torches were approaching rapidly. The people holding the torches clearly saw the mountain cave and were closing in fast.

"It's too late to seal the cave now. Let everyone go inside to hide first, see who they are, and then decide how to respond!"

As soon as Xiao Kangcheng spoke, everyone's expressions became tense. They gripped the weapons in their hands and stared at the torches to the south, not daring to relax for a moment.

"They might not be from the Three Tigers camp. Maybe they're people from another camp who got separated and found the wrong place."

"Even if they are from the Three Tigers camp, I'm not afraid. At worst, we'll fight them to the death. No matter how strong the Three Tigers camp is, don't even think about dragging me over to be a slave."

"What are you panicking about? At worst, we'll just hide in the cave."

………… Although they said this, their increasingly heavy tone betrayed their nervous mood.

"My lord, found it, it's here."

"It's here, there's firelight in the mountain cave."

"It must be the Xiaohe camp, notify the others to come over!"

"Beep……"

As the three torches were only a hundred meters away, the unmasked voices of the three people clearly reached the ears of Xiao Kangcheng and the others.

The content of their words undoubtedly made their mood even heavier.

That final bone whistle sound was clearly summoning people nearby. They were people who often went out, so how could they not know?

Sure enough, no more than ten breaths after the whistle sounded, six more torches approached rapidly from the side. In just a moment, that group of people had finished gathering.

"Not bad, not many people. Come with me to see what's going on!"

Seeing only nine people, Xiao Kangcheng's expression relaxed significantly. A murderous look appeared on his face, and he led the group a few steps toward the south.

But just as he moved, a hearty voice came from the opposite side.

"Leader Xiao, it's been ten days, I hope you've been well. Xia Chuan has come to visit again!"

Hearing this familiar voice, the people on Xiao Kangcheng's side were stunned.

Xiao Ning's eyes, however, immediately showed a look of joy, which was seen clearly by her younger sister, Xiao Yu, beside her.

"It's Brother Xia Chuan, not people from the Three Tigers camp."

Hearing the joy in her eldest daughter's voice, Xiao Kangcheng's brows furrowed into a knot, but after a while, they relaxed.

At the same time, the nine people walking toward them were also clearly seen by them.

At this sight, Xiao Kangcheng and the others couldn't look away.

Ten days ago, the first time they saw Xia Chuan, they were shocked by his attire. This wasn't just Xiao Yu and her brother; it included Xiao Ning, Xiao Kangcheng, and the other Earth-Digging Realm members as well.

That high-quality black cloak, blue animal fur hat, black animal hide boots, the slender long blade with an iron scabbard hanging at his waist, and the iron token he had left them.

Now, they actually discovered that the eight people who came with Xia Chuan this time were wearing the same clothes as him, hanging the same tokens at their waists, carrying weapons, and even each had a bow and arrow on their backs.

One of them was even carrying two sets.

What was this? Showing off wealth?

Xiao Kangcheng's eyes were somewhat stunned, but as Xia Chuan walked closer and closer, he still slightly cupped his hands and said: "Xia Chuan…… my lord, may I ask, what brings you here?"

Being able to have nine Earth-Digging Realm members following behind his butt like this, and with several of them even carrying things, clearly in the posture of subordinates—Xiao Kangcheng couldn't bring himself to call him "nephew" no matter what.

Although he changed the address back to "my lord," Xiao Kangcheng still tried his best to soften his tone so it wouldn't be so stiff.

"This sense of caution is a bit too strong!"

Hearing Xiao Kangcheng's cautious inquiry, Xia Chuan, who was walking toward them, sighed in his heart, but he quickly smiled. As he approached, he signaled to Shi Ping and the others beside him to take out the three items.

Ten minutes later, outside the mountain cave.

Xiao Kangcheng, Xiao Ning, Xiao Yu, and all the Earth-Digging Realm members of the Xiaohe camp were all looking down at the three items on the ground, their faces full of disbelief, numbness, and a hint of joy they dared not believe.

"Ten thousand jin of iron ore, three longswords, one ten-thousand-jin iron-womb bow—all of this is being gifted to our camp just like that?"

"Am I dreaming?"

"Is this Lord Xia Chuan crazy?"

…………

The group of Earth-Digging Realm members looked up at Xia Chuan, their eyes full of confusion.

Only Xiao Kangcheng, seemingly having thought of something, suddenly turned his head to look at his eldest daughter, Xiao Ning, and then continued to look at Xia Chuan, his eyes wondering what he was thinking.

Xiao Ning naturally noticed her father's gaze. Her face turned bright red, and the hand holding the bow and arrows began to tremble slightly without her realizing it.

"Lord Xia Chuan, our camp does indeed need this batch of supplies. Whatever requirements you have, as long as Ning'er agrees…………"

"Leader Xiao, don't misunderstand. I'm sending these things only because when I came last time, I discovered that your camp was likely in urgent need of such supplies. With the cold wave approaching soon, I hope this batch of supplies can be of some help to you."

Xiao Kangcheng's change in expression was all seen by Xia Chuan. Shi Ping and the others nearby couldn't help but lower their heads and chuckle softly.

If he didn't speak up to interrupt, he was afraid Xiao Kangcheng would entrust his daughter to him on the spot. Xia Chuan naturally couldn't help it.

Hearing Xia Chuan's words, Xiao Kangcheng looked up and met his eyes. Seeing the sincerity in them, the hesitation in his expression finally disappeared slowly, and he sighed slightly in the end.

"Lord Xia Chuan, could you tell me more about the situation at the Great Xia camp!"

Last time they met, he only saw Xia Chuan's extraordinary nature, and he naturally had doubts in his heart about the situation at the Great Xia camp that he spoke of.

But this time, it was different.

He had just touched the three longswords, and they each weighed seven or eight hundred jin; the ten-thousand-jin iron-womb bow—in the Five Ape Mountains area, besides the Three Tigers camp, which camp didn't treat it like a treasure? Plus ten thousand jin of iron ore.

With such a grand gesture, even if he didn't believe it, he began to waver in his heart.

This Great Xia, its strength was likely truly far beyond his imagination.

Of course, the more critical point was that Xiao Kangcheng knew Xia Chuan couldn't have sent them these things for no reason.

The purpose was nothing more than what was said last time: he wanted them to merge into Great Xia.

If there truly was a camp that was not only stronger than them but could also lead their more than one thousand people to live a better life, Xiao Kangcheng would not only not resist, but would be happy from the bottom of his heart.

He was just afraid of something like the Three Tigers camp happening, worried that after he led his people over, they wouldn't live a good life but instead become even more miserable.

Since Great Xia was interested, and their attitude was so sincere, willing to show goodwill with such a grand gesture, Xiao Kangcheng naturally let down his guard and took the initiative to inquire to learn more about the situation at Great Xia.

Xia Chuan, who heard the change in his attitude, knew that his grand gesture of goodwill this time had been effective. The smile on his face grew even thicker, and at Xiao Kangcheng's invitation, he walked into the mountain cave and began to talk freely with him.

Compared to the first time, this conversation went much more smoothly after Xiao Kangcheng completely let down his guard.

Xiao Kangcheng was clearly eager to inquire about the situation at the Great Xia camp, almost to the point of directly asking what the benefits were of leading his people to merge into Great Xia.

Xia Chuan didn't respond directly to these questions this time, but instead intentionally or unintentionally steered the topic toward the overall situation in the Five Ape Mountains area.

And through this conversation, Xiao Kangcheng discovered that Xia Chuan had long known the reason for his caution. Not only did he know the Three Tigers camp like the back of his hand, but he even had a certain understanding of the overall situation in the Five Ape Mountains area.

"How does my lord know so much about the situation here in the Five Ape Mountains?"

Hearing Xiao Kangcheng's question, Xia Chuan gave a light smile and said:

"To be honest with Leader Xiao, four camps in the Five Ape Mountains area have already merged into my Great Xia in the past few days. It was also through them that I learned about part of the situation here. However, those four were all small camps and didn't know much. Coming here this time, I also wanted to use Leader Xiao to inquire about news of more camps here, and I hope Leader Xiao can tell me about it."

This statement made Xiao Kangcheng's thoughts race. Realizing something, he suddenly looked up at Xia Chuan, a look of shock appearing in his eyes.

The meaning in Xia Chuan's words was very clear; how could he not hear it?

The Great Xia camp was planning to annex all the human camps in the entire Five Ape Mountains!

Did this Great Xia have such a big appetite?

After thinking for a long time, Xiao Kangcheng reminded him with a kind tone: "Since my lord knows about the Three Tigers camp, you should also be clear that if your camp truly has such plans, you definitely won't be able to bypass them. As such……"

"Leader Xiao, rest assured. Since the Three Tigers camp is acting so recklessly, our Great Xia naturally won't sit idly by. If nothing goes wrong, they should be in big trouble right now!"

As if to verify Xia Chuan's words, after Xiao Kangcheng finished listening, before the look of shock and doubt on his face had dissipated, someone came in from outside to report.

"Leader, a stranger has come from outside. He said his name is Qiu Peng and he's here to find Lord Xia Chuan. His attire is indeed the same as theirs."

After the person finished reporting, Xiao Kangcheng immediately looked at Xia Chuan, and after receiving Xia Chuan's signal, he nodded at the person.

Soon, Qiu Peng, dressed the same as the nine people, was brought in.

Qiu Peng didn't say anything when he saw the people, but walked directly to Xia Chuan's side. With a hint of joy on his face, he cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to my lord, Director Director Yu Wen has already rescued the people. They caught quite a few, and they look very angry. It seems the squad led by Hong Guang must have had quite a serious incident."

Xia Chuan's expression tightened upon hearing this, but he quickly recovered. He nodded and waved slightly at Qiu Peng, then continued to look at Xiao Kangcheng and smiled:

"Leader Xiao, let's continue!"

Xiao Kangcheng felt a bit uneasy in his heart, constantly thinking about what Qiu Peng's words meant. Although he had some vague guesses, he felt it was unbelievable, so he could only continue to talk to Xia Chuan about the situation in the Five Ape Mountains.

Compared to the four camps that had already joined Great Xia, Xiao Kangcheng, as the leader of a medium-sized camp, clearly had a much more comprehensive understanding of the situation in the Five Ape Mountains.

Soon, Xia Chuan had an outline of the overall situation in the Five Ape Mountains in his mind.

Including the Xiaohe camp, there were a total of eleven medium-sized camps in the Five Ape Mountains;

Roughly how many people these camps had, their approximate locations, and roughly how many Earth-Digging Realm members each family had;

Even the temperaments of the leaders of these camps;

…………

And when he learned that the day after tomorrow was the last exchange fair before the cold wave and that people from all eleven medium-sized camps would be present, Xia Chuan's eyes lit up, and he began to inquire about the many details of this exchange fair.

After finding out the location of the exchange fair, Xia Chuan was extremely excited. After expressing his gratitude, he also brought up the question Xiao Kangcheng was most concerned about.

"Leader Xiao, you likely still want to inquire about the specific situation at my Great Xia. Just like last time, if I just say it with empty words, it's never as intuitive as seeing it directly. How about this: Leader Xiao, pick a few people, and tonight you can return to the Great Xia settlement with me. Let them visit and understand it thoroughly. I will personally send them back the day after tomorrow. At that time, Leader Xiao can ask them again, how about that?"

Xiao Kangcheng nodded slightly; this was indeed the best way.

Just, who should be sent?

"Father, let me go!"

During the conversation just now, Xiao Ning's eyes had been fixed on Xia Chuan. Xiao Kangcheng had noticed this long ago, and now that she was actually taking the initiative to ask to go to Great Xia with him, Xiao Kangcheng couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly in his heart.

This daughter, it was highly likely she couldn't be kept!

"Father, I want to go too."

Xiao Kangcheng's expression was stunned. He turned his head to look at his second daughter, Xiao Yu, and a look of suspicion gradually appeared in his eyes.

"Father, let me go too!"

Slap…………

As soon as his son, Xiao Heng, spoke, Xiao Kangcheng couldn't hold back anymore and gave him a big slap across the face.

"Get out, get out, get out, what are you joining in the fun for."

"Haha…………"

"Hahahaha."

…………

This scene made everyone couldn't help but smile, and even Xia Chuan, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle a few times.

"Xiao Yuan, you take Ning'er and Yu'er for a trip!"

In the end, Xiao Kangcheng still sent out the steady old man, Xiao Yuan, to take his two daughters for a trip.
