ur teachings!" Wu Xi said sincerely."Alright, let's not chat outside anymore. Please bring Mr. Chen in..."At this time, Sun Simiao spoke up, and the crowd then escorted Chen Ping into the hotel.After...Now the entire mountain city's population of outsiders is several times greater than that of the indigenous people. There are mines of all sizes scattered all over the mountains.

In the mountain city, there are the most hotels and bars, these entertainment venues. Those who can afford to play with gemstones are big bosses, so they don't mind spending money!

Wu Dong drove directly to a restaurant and stopped at the entrance: "Mr. Chen, you must be hungry too. Let's have some food first, and then go back to the hotel to rest!"

Chen Ping nodded and got out of the car with Wu Dong.

The restaurant isn't very big, but the storefront decoration is very good, with an antique flavor. Above it, a large sign reads "Lu Cuisine Restaurant"!

"Mr. Chen, don't let the size of this restaurant fool you, it's the hottest place in town! Many people come here to eat, even the big star Song Tie, whenever he returns to Shanshang City, he comes to this restaurant for a meal!"

Wu Dong led Chen Ping as he walked and introduced.

Entering the restaurant, Wu Dong wanted to find a private room. Chen Ping stopped him, saying that since there were only two of them, they could just eat casually and didn't need to look for a private room!

He found a relatively secluded place and Wu Dong specially ordered several signature dishes from the restaurant!

While waiting for their food, Chen Ping deliberately glanced at the diners in the restaurant and discovered that there were several masters of the Grandmaster level among them!

It wouldn't be surprising to see so many master martial artists at a martial arts gathering in Tianfeng Town, but how could there be so many masters in this mountain city

"Strangely enough, even when I was busy in the past, I've never seen so many people. During my few days in the mountain city, I kept seeing several groups of strangers going up the mountain. It seems that more and more people are into gambling on jade stones!"

Wu Dong saw Chen Ping glance at the people in the restaurant, and hurriedly explained.

However, Chen Ping looked at these people and they didn't seem like gamblers. He saw that these people were in groups of three or five, and none of them spoke, only bowing their heads to eat, as if they all had something on their minds!

"Can Heishan's original stones be mined at random"

Chen Ping asked Wu Dong.

“That’s not true at all! If we just mined randomly, it would be chaotic. Nobody cared before, but now the whole area is dominated by the Feng, Song, and Liu families. They control the largest ore mining cave, and other smaller caves that they don't deem worthwhile are being mined by others. Mr. Feng, who had caused trouble for Old Pei back then, was one of them. His mine is in the southeast direction, closest to the mountaintop!”

Wǔ Dōng pointed out the window towards Mount Heng, which was right before his eyes.

"Oh!" Chen Ping nodded!

Soon, the dishes arrived. Chen Ping suddenly stopped the waiter who was serving the food and said, "Hey man, can I ask you something Did something big happen in Shanshan City Why do I feel like everyone is in a hurry"

Chen Ping always felt something was off. With so many masters at the Grandmaster level appearing here, something must have happened or was about to happen!

"What's the matter I'm just a waiter, I don't know anything!"

The waiter shook his head, but his eyes darted around a bit, clearly knowing something!

"Hey man, we're just visitors here, no harm intended! Just curious."

Chen Ping said as he took out a stack of banknotes and stuffed them into the waiter's pocket. That stack of money was worth several thousand!

The waiter glanced around, hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Let me tell you, another vein of ore has been discovered on Mount Heng. They say it's full of gems. The Song family, the Feng family, and the Liu family are all gathering troops and horses right now, apparently to fight over the newly discovered ore. It seems like things in Shancheng will be in chaos very soon. I overheard this by chance in a private room. Please don't tell anyone I told you!"

The waiter finished speaking and hurried away!

"A new vein" Wu Dong was taken aback. "I've been here for days, how come I haven't heard about it"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! Just say something if there's a problem!"Gu Wentian wanted to help Jin Fusheng up, but since he didn't see Chen Ping, Jin Fusheng dared not stand up.Just then, Chen Ping opened the door and walked ou...
