1Hao Xiao nodded his head. In the past few years, the most useless of the four families, the little fatty from the Zhao Family, had become the most popular man in the capital of Daxuan Country.

It wasn't the spirit medicine that he had auctioned off years ago, but an unremarkable spirit mine that he had bought back then.

But no one had expected that after digging for a thousand meters, the spirit stones that were originally of ordinary quality would actually be of extremely high quality.

The patriarch of the Zhao Family, who had always disliked Fatty Zhao's business, immediately sent a large number of soldiers to protect the spirit stone mine. He no longer blamed Fatty for wanting to earn money.

Currently, this spirit stone mine had made countless people jealous. However, due to the fear of the Zhao Family, no one dared to attack the spirit stone mine.

The dividends from the 50% share of the spirit mine every year was an astronomical figure.

Of course, Fatty Zhao wouldn't give away this share for free. Although he had to pay a price, it was still worth it.

When that time came, Hao Bi would publicly announce this news, and he would definitely be able to get more supporters.

If he wanted to become Young Lord, not only did he have to rely on his profound cultivation, he also had to consider how to improve the living standards of his clansmen.

If Hao Bi could get one-fifth of the share of the spirit mine, then even if Hao Family didn't do any other business in the future, it would be enough for the entire family to eat and drink.

Once this news was announced, perhaps there would be even more people in the clan who would support him.

Thinking of this, Hao Bi was extremely excited.

Lin Yue heard their conversation clearly and blinked a few times.

There must be a lot of major powers involved this time. The ones who knew about this were Chen Wuxuan and Fatty Zhao.

Hao Rann was his sworn brother. No matter what, he had to help him.

Early the next morning, he flew towards the Treasure Pavilion.

"Big brother, you're here!" Fatty shouted excitedly.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. What are you busy with?" Lin Yue asked.

"You don't know, big brother. I am busy counting the gold every day." The fat man said proudly, "Didn't I buy a spirit mine before? I thought it was very ordinary. I didn't expect that after mining the upper layer, there would be high quality spirit stones below. Now, the spirit stones that I mine every day are not enough to reserve. I'm so busy."

"Don't always be so busy making money, cultivation is the most important" Lin Yue said.

Due to the fact that the fatty had used the Art of Burning Life, if he didn't enter the Spiritual Infant Stage, he wouldn't be able to live for more than a few years.

"I know, big brother. I'll cultivate whenever I have the time." Fatty said, "Oh right, big brother, the three hundred million taels of gold that I bought from the spirit mine has been returned. So far, I've made a net profit of one hundred million taels of gold. I'll give you the money."

According to the agreement at that time, Lin Yue would invest the money, and Fatty would operate according to 30% to 70%. He would be 70%, and Fatty would be 30%.

Speaking of which, the capital had already been returned. Lin Yue had also earned 70 million taels of gold, as well as a large spirit mine.

"There's no need for that." Lin Yue waved his hand. "I'll let you have it. You just need to make good use of it." Lin Yue said, "I'm here to ask you about Hao Bi's share of the spirit mine. What's the matter?"

"This matter is very simple. It was when Hao Bi came to find me. He said that he was about to become the Young Lord of Hao Family and wanted to join the spirit mine business." The fat man said, "At that time, I didn't pay much attention to it. Just say that if he really became Young Lord... I'll let him invest 500 million gold taels and give him a fifth of the share of the spirit mine. "

"500 million gold taels?!" Lin Yue was still shocked.

Fatty nodded. "Yeah, it's a waste not to earn this money. With this five hundred million taels of gold, we can do other things again."

"That's true, but we can't give Hao Bi a share." Lin Yue said, "Do you know Young Lord and Hao Rann from the Hao Family?"

Fatty and Hao Rann belonged to the Young Lord of the four big families, so they should know each other.

"I've met him a few times when I was young, but I'm not familiar with him." The fat man said.

"He's my sworn brother now, so you should know why I came here today." Lin Yue said.

"So that's the case. Since that's the case, he is also my brother. Then, let's each take a third of the share of the spirit mine?" The fat man asked.

In any case, Lin Yue was the manager, so he would listen to him.

Lin Yue nodded, "It's settled then. Three days later, the Hao Family will select a new Young Lord. Have you been invited?"

Although this was a private matter of the Hao Family, they would usually invite people from other families to attend such a matter. Firstly, it was to be notarized, and secondly, it was to let everyone know about the new Young Lord.

"Hao Bi has invited me. I didn't want to go, but since it's Hao Rann, Second Brother, who is running for Young Lord, I have to work harder for him." The fat man said.

He and Lin Yue were sworn brothers. They were younger than Hao Rann, so he naturally had to call Second Brother.

"En, that's good. When the time comes, it will be up to you." Lin Yue smiled, then left the Treasure Pavilion and returned to the Hao Family.

"Big brother, where did you go early in the morning?" Hao Rann didn't see him in the morning. He heard that he had gone out.

Lin Yue smiled and told him everything.

"This is great. Never would I have thought that Little Fatty Zhao would be Big Brother's sworn brother. In that case, I will be Second Brother." Hao Rann smiled.

He never thought that Lin Yue would have such a close relationship with Fatty. This was truly unexpected.

Lin Yue told him about Chen Wuxuan, which made him feel somewhat mentally prepared.

"Chen Wuxuan, Xuan Wuchen, my dad guessed that he was behind all of this. It really is like this." Hao Rann said, "Do you still remember the time when he sent someone to arrest me?"

Lin Yue nodded his head. Back then, in order to obtain the turtle shell fragment in Hao Feng's hand, Chen Wuxuan sent someone to kidnap Hao Rann.

Fortunately, he had encountered it and helped Hao Rann get out of this predicament.

There was also a fragment in Lin Yue's Storage Ring. Until now, no one knew what it was used for.

It was just that seeing how Chen Wuxuan valued it so much, it must be very useful.

Besides knowing that Hao Rann had a good relationship with Lin Yue and taking revenge on him, the turtle shell fragment should also be an important reason for Chen Wuxuan's interference in the Hao Family.

Hao Rann went to report to Zhihao Feng and let him know about this matter.

In a flash, it was time for the Hao Family to elect Young Lord once again.

There were a total of eight disciples who signed up for the competition this time. All of them were the sons of Hao Rann's uncles.

Of course, the most competitive ones among them were Hao Rann and Hao Bi.

The competition had passed through two parts. One was a martial arts competition, and the other was about the Hao Family's future development.

One part was to test one's cultivation, and the other part was to test one's strategy. One part could not be missing.

Apart from all the higher ups of the Hao Family, they had also invited the people of the other three families, including Fatty, who was the representative of the Zhao Family.

Chen Wuxuan would certainly not appear here. As the Crown Prince of Daxuan Country, according to the rules, he was not allowed to interfere in the matters of these major families.

Soon, the first part of the competition began.

Eight people drew lots. Four of them were Spiritual Infant Stage warriors, while the other four were Star-treading Stage warriors.

Coincidentally, the first round consisted of four Star-treading Stage warriors. Each of them had a Spiritual Infant Stage warrior as their opponent, and they were eliminated.

After the second round, Hao Rann's opponent was also a Spiritual Baby First Layer. After a fierce battle, he advanced smoothly.

Hao Bi also defeated another Spiritual Infant Stage warrior, and stood proudly.

The last round was the final battle between the two of them.

"Hao Rann, you were no match for me when you were young, but you are still no match for me now." From the beginning, Hao Bi wanted to destroy Hao Rann's confidence.

He was a Spiritual Baby Second Layer, a grade higher than Hao Rann.

"Let's not talk about the courage in the past. I was indeed strong in the past, but now, you will definitely lose!" Hao Rann was filled with confidence.

All these years, he had been cultivating hard in Dragon Sword Sect. Adding the inheritance of Ou Zhi from Residence Ruins, he was confident that he could fight Hao Bi.

"Haha, what a big tone!" Hao Bi smiled, "It's a pity that it's useless to talk big. It's not too late for you to admit defeat now. Otherwise, you will become even more embarrassed later."

He looked at the stage and saw that so many of his clansmen had come to watch the show. He was in a good mood.

Today, he would ruthlessly trample Hao Rann under his feet in front of everyone.

All these years, Hao Rann had never been a member of the clan. He didn't have any dignity. If he were to be stepped on by him again, he was afraid that he wouldn't have the face to enter the second part of the test.

"Who do you think will win this time?" The disciples below the stage discussed animatedly.

Under normal circumstances, as Young Lord, Hao Rann should have no problem inheriting the position of the family head.

However, the sudden re-election surprised all the disciples in the clan.

Many of them weren't familiar with Hao Rann and thought that he was really a piece of trash. But now, it seemed like that wasn't the case.

All these years, Hao Bi had deliberately suppressed those branches that didn't support him, which made these disciples depressed. Naturally, they didn't want him to win.

"Although I don't want Hao Bi to win, his level is one grade higher than Hao Rann. He should be able to win." A disciple said, "If he becomes Young Lord, our lives will be even more miserable."

"That's right. If we knew this earlier, we might as well work together with him. Sigh, it's probably too late now." Someone was full of regret.

"I have already said that Hao Rann can't do it. If you don't believe me, look at him now. You should regret it now." Some of them looked at these disciples with disdain.

He naturally stood on Hao Bi's side. Although Hao Rann's cultivation speed had exceeded their expectations, his cultivation base wasn't as high as Hao Bi's. There was no way he could defeat him.

Hao Xiao had a smile on his face. He had always felt depressed when he lost the fight for the position of Patriarch.

Fortunately, his son was able to help him turn the tables.

From today onwards, perhaps the authority of the Hao Family would slowly return to his hands.

All these years, he had never given up. Now, he finally saw hope.

As long as Hao Bi defeated Hao Rann, there wouldn't be any problems with the second part of the test.

The two of them looked at each other for a moment and attacked at the same time.

Hao Rann held a long spear in his hand and fought fiercely with Hao Bi.

Although he was cultivating in the Dragon Sword Sect, he had always loved the long spear and bow. Until now, he still carried the bow and arrow on his back.

Both of them were extremely fast. Their shadows were slowly shining in all directions. After a moment, there was a loud sound and both of them were sent flying at the same time.

Hao Bi's face turned cold. He had never thought that Hao Rann's combat strength was not weak at all.

Hao Xiao retracted his smile. It seemed like the situation on the grandstand wasn't as smooth as he had imagined.
