Through Mu Yong's explanation, Yunyan basically figured out what happened in the mine last night, so he asked Mu Yong to leave first.
At this time, Mu Ningshuang was stunned and motionless. Yunyan knew that there was too much sorrow in her heart that she wanted to talk about, but because of Mu Yong, she was also unable to talk about it.
Now, they were the only two people left in the room. Yun Yan did not let her leave. Of course, he could not let Mu Ningshuang stay here because Zhou Ying might come back at any time.
"Just say what you want to say."
Finally, Yun Yan spoke.
Mu Ningshuang's eyes trembled slightly. She did have too many things to say clearly to Yun Yan, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know how to say them.
After a long time, Mu Ningshuang finally calmed down her upset mood. She raised her red lips and sighed quietly.
"Brother Yun, you love Miss Zhou, right?"
Hearing this, Yun Yan thought for a moment and then replied.
"Since I woke up, I have only known you three girls. If I say I like Ying'er better, that's true, because she always gives me an irresistible feeling.
I don't know why, but Ying'er is very good to me, not to mention she took me in. Although this is all Jackal's arrangement, I always have to pay back everything I owe her. "
Mu Ningshuang did not expect that Yun Yan would tell her her thoughts so frankly. She also understood that she was not qualified to ask Yun Yan for an explanation, let alone what the other party wanted to explain to her.
Maybe it was Yun Yan's frankness that touched Mu Ningshuang's soft heart. She suddenly cried with joy after hearing Yun Yan's words.
"Brother Yun, what will happen if one day you find your lost memory and learn that your love for Miss Zhou is just a beautiful misunderstanding?"
Yun Yan had never thought about this problem. He was not even sure whether he could recover his memory, but Mu Ningshuang's words were not unreasonable.
"Could it be that there really were other memories before I woke up?"
This is what Yun Yan wants to know most at the moment. However, for him who has just entered the martial arts realm, how to skillfully use this new power is the most important thing at the moment.
Because Yun Yan discovered that as he became more and more proficient in controlling the power of martial arts, his soul sea was slowly undergoing some changes.
Of course, those memories that originally belonged to him were also awakening bit by bit, but the human part did not appear from beginning to end.
Therefore, Yun Yan was not sure whether her impulse towards Zhou Ying came from the memory she once had.
But no matter what, his gratitude to Zhou Ying could not make him indifferent to Zhou Ying's passionate love.
This is Yun Yan's choice. Although he cannot have the best of both worlds, he must at least be clear about his conscience.
"Ningshuang, you are a smart girl, so you should understand that if you want to survive in the Beishan Mine, you must recognize the reality.
Maybe Ying'er's appearance was an accident, but you also avoided encountering a jerk like Hu Bao. This is not a blessing.
We can't change our destiny now. It's just that I happened to meet Yinger, so I was able to gain her favor. In essence, there is no difference between you and me. "
Mu Ningshuang did not expect that in just a few months, Yun Yan's consciousness had already recovered to the point where it was no different from that of ordinary people. This was different from the people she knew who had memory disorders due to advancing to the martial arts realm, which would take decades or even more. Compared to cultivators who take hundreds of years to recover, there is a huge difference.
From this, it is not difficult for her to imagine that Yun Yan's cultivation talent must be very amazing, and his current hibernation also shows that he has a strong adaptability to the new survival rules of the Sky City. Such a cultivation genius must be a genius in Mu Ningshuang's opinion. If you don't sing, you will be a blockbuster.
Therefore, Mu Ningshuang's love for Yun Yan does not seem so pure to a certain extent. This may be another reason why Yun Yan has never accepted her.
Mu Ningshuang finally understood it now, but she suddenly felt that if her sister Xiaoling, who had always been under her protection and grew up carefree, was allowed to do this from the beginning, would the possibility of success be greater? ?
No one could answer this question, because there was no if in such a thing as fate, so Mu Ningshuang could only nod lightly and said.
"Brother Yun, I understand."
Afterwards, Mu Ningshuang left Yun Yan's room.
...
A few hours later, Zhou Ying took Zhu Liren and Chang Yukun, who had returned from the mining area to explore lumen stones, and sat down in the living room.
It can be seen that they are very excited that the Beishan Mine contains such abundant lumen stones, because the amount of lumen stones in the first mining area alone is enough for them to make a fortune.
Of course, all these benefits are based on their ability to reach a final transaction agreement with the Beishan Mine at a consignment price of no more than fifty gold.
It's just that in Zhu Liren's opinion, this matter might have been possible at first, but now it has become a bit difficult, and the person who made everything difficult is Yun Yan.
Zhou Ying naturally knew this, so she invited Yun Yan to the living room as soon as she returned to Zhou Mansion.
"I wonder if the two special envoys are still satisfied with the lumen stones in the first mining area?"
Out of politeness, Yun Yan still asked after noticing the unhidden joy between Chang Yukun's eyebrows, because he was deliberately testing Zhu Liren's attitude.
Sure enough, Zhu Liren frankly admitted this fact.
"Based on the Tianque Refining Sect's demand for lumen stones, the reserves here are enough to supply them for ten years, but in that case, the price is hard to say.
After all, your Beishan Mine still belongs to Tianque's power in name. If your price is too high, the elders in Tianque will not agree.
Therefore, cooperating with our auction house is your best choice, because we are at least reasonable, and at the same time, we are also honest. "
After hearing Zhu Liren's statement, Yun Yan could not answer because he did not have a precise concept of the relationship between Tianque, the auction house and the Beishan Mine.
In other words, he could not make any promises to Zhu Liren on behalf of the Beishan Mine, but he could tell Zhu Liren the true value of the Lumen Stone.
In this way, the interest relationship will be weighed by the auction house itself. If they are not willing to defy Tianque's wishes for this benefit, it means that Beishan Mine has no choice at all.
But if the auction house is interested, I believe they will protect the Beishan Mine for their own benefit, which will indirectly improve the status of the Beishan Mine within the Third Heaven.
So, Yun Yan said calmly.
"I have said before that the purpose of the Lumen Stone is not only that it can provide the practitioners of the Night Continent with the light necessary for cultivation. In fact, the real value of the Lumen Stone is that it is a must for refining storage instruments. One of the materials.
I believe Master Zhu is familiar with the mid-level storage treasure that he sold to Ying'er three years ago. If I say that this mid-level treasure did not add enough lumen stones, it resulted in its final storage space ratio. Originally it was doubled in size, I don’t know what you would think. "
Hearing Yun Yan's words, Zhu Liren's expression was solemn. He slowly stood up from his seat and walked to Yun Yan, asking seriously.
"How on earth do you know these things?"
Facing Zhu Liren's aggressive momentum, Yun Yan smiled slightly.
"I said, I know a little bit about the art of refining weapons."
However, Zhu Liren didn't believe Yun Yan's statement and only listened to his words with majesty.
"These are things that only intermediate treasure masters at least know, but you can accurately judge the refining process of this storage treasure just by observing the existing magic weapon.
Should I believe that you only know a little bit about the art of weapon refining, or do you intentionally want to conceal your weapon refining skills? "
At this time, Zhou Ying, who was sitting opposite, suddenly spoke.
"Shouldn't the focus of our discussion be on the Luming Stone transaction? Why is Mr. Zhu suddenly so interested in Brother Yan's secret?"
After hearing this, Zhu Liren's serious expression suddenly softened a lot, and he turned to smile.
"You are right, we should have a serious talk about the Lumen Stone. After all, we came to Beishan Mine this time just for the Lumen Stone."
"In this case, what are Master Zhu going to do next? Are you going to cooperate with us directly, or are you going to push this matter to Tianque and you will no longer get involved."
Zhou Ying's words were very direct. Her character has always been so straightforward, not to mention that she had already understood all the hints that Yun Yan had just given.
Regarding Zhou Ying's straightforward inquiry, Zhu Liren first looked back at Chang Yukun. After the two of them thought deeply, Zhu Liren said to Zhou Ying.
"This matter is beyond my scope of authority. However, I will report all the situation here to Director Su. I think that in the future, she will have to personally preside over all matters related to Lumen Stone cooperation. .”
Although Zhu Liren didn't say it clearly, his meaning was very clear.
Obviously, he said that he would report this matter in detail to Su Xuan instead of the resident elder of Tianque. This shows that their auction house intends to compete with the Tianque branch.
Therefore, it is not difficult for Yun Yan to speculate that as the actual controller of the auction house, Su Xuan should be more inclined to let the auction house take over the transaction related to lumen stones.
However, Yunyan is a new arrival after all, and he still has not understood the situation in the heaven, especially the intricate interest relationships between the three major forces headed by Tianque, the Kyushu Alliance, the auction house and the Beishan Mine.
Therefore, of course he would not know that the reason why Zhu Liren deliberately revealed such an intention was that he hoped that Beishan Mining could take this opportunity to get closer to the auction house. In this way, they would have one more way to fight against Tianque. chips.
However, Yun Yan's appearance was also an additional unexpected factor when Zhu Liren was considering interests, because he really couldn't believe that Yun Yan's insights into the art of weapon refining were limited to what he himself said was "a little knowledge." .
When Zhou Ying heard Zhu Liren's words, she also guessed some of the auction house's intentions, but she still had to discuss what to do with her eldest brother Zhou Cang.
So, Zhou Ying said to Zhu Liren.
"Since we can't make the decision, it's better to put this matter aside for now and wait until my brother talks to Manager Su before making a decision."
Zhu Liren nodded slowly and said.
"Master Su came here this time just to discuss with the owner Zhou about the Lumen Stone being directly resold to the Night Continent through our auction house.
However, she probably didn't expect that this Lumen Stone actually involves such a big interest, so of course we must treat it with caution to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. "
Of course Zhou Ying knew what Zhu Liren meant by "misunderstanding", but now she was thinking about how to sell the Lumen Stone for the highest price. As for other matters, her brother Zhou Cang had to consider them.
So, Zhou Ying finally said.
"If we have thought about it, we will go to see Director Su in person next time we go to the auction house. However, it is best to settle this matter as soon as possible to avoid long nights and nightmares."
Zhu Liren also nodded and replied.
"Miss Zhou is right, let's leave first."
However, just when Zhu Liren was about to leave, Yun Yan said apologetically.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Zhu, I have another unkind request. I hope you can accept it."
Zhu Liren was very surprised when he heard this, and he couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Please tell me what you want, Mr. Yun. As long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."
Hearing this, even Zhou Ying on the side was a little surprised. She didn't expect Zhu Liren to be so polite to Yun Yan.
Obviously, he valued Yun Yan very much. It was only then that Zhou Ying suddenly realized that Yun Yan was an important factor in Zhu Liren's evaluation of interests in this matter.
Immediately, Yun Yan clasped her fists and said to Zhu Liren.
"As for what I have heard about the art of refining, I hope Mr. Zhu will not mention it to outsiders, because I have only arrived in Heaven not long ago, and Ying'er treats me well. I don't want to bring unnecessary trouble to Beishan Mine. trouble."
After Zhu Liren heard this and thought for a moment, he spoke.
"Deacon Chang and I will not mention this matter to outsiders, but to Manager Su, I must tell the truth truthfully. I hope you can understand."
After hearing this, Yun Yan slowly nodded and replied.
"That's natural, thank you both."
"You're welcome, let's take our leave then."
"please!"
Afterwards, Zhu Liren and Chang Yukun left the Beishan Mine.
But Zhou Ying looked at Yun Yan with tenderness and murmured.
"Brother Yan, you are so kind to me, what can I do to repay you?"
Yun Yan turned around and smiled slightly.
"I don't know about that either. I'll tell you when I think about it."
"Haha, then you have to think quickly, because I can't wait any longer."
"Uh...okay!"
